"Am I to take it that you're threatening the most beautiful Appearance Representative on my team?"
The Golden Warrior spoke in a metallic, ice-cold voice, as if a tractor were stuck in his throat. His golden eyes showed no emotion as he looked at Squirrel and the others.
Stussy, who had been feeling a little nervous, was somewhat taken aback by the Golden Warrior's words.
She liked hearing that.
Especially being called the most beautiful Appearance Representative!
That man often said things like that, but Stussy had always assumed he was just being polite.
Now, though, it seemed he meant it.
And he was pretty protective of his own.
Should she be happy or worried?
Stussy sighed inwardly. Since she had already made her choice, there was no point in second-guessing herself or regretting it. At least this man respected her.
He didn't order his subordinates around or bully them like other pirate crews did, and he didn't restrict their freedom.
His only flaw might be that he was too arrogant and conspicuous.
And he was completely unpredictable.
Besides, being around this man was genuinely dangerous. He was either tempting fate or on his way to doing so, walking a tightrope every moment while telling himself he was "experiencing the true meaning of life."
"You're nothing but a coward who hides your face!"
Squirrel, the CPO agent, was a woman, but she had an exceptionally short temper.
You'd never guess she was a Squirrel Fruit user.
She attacked at once, her slender fingers coated in Armament Haki as they shot toward the Golden Warrior's head like lightning. Her attack was too fast to follow. By the time the gust of wind died down, two holes had appeared in the Golden Warrior's head.
"So it really is just a puppet."
