"Paddy, are we good sisters?"
"Yes!"
"Then as your good sister, shouldn't you share your last piece of meat with me?"
"Okay, it's all yours!"
"No, no, no, Paddy, I'll just take half!"
"Mia, you shameless wench! Mosen divided the remaining food into 4 portions. Once you finished yours, you came to steal ours. You even used your Observation Haki's foresight to steal like a common thief! And now you have the audacity to trick Paddy out of her food," the One-armed Pirate Ian cursed.
"I want to! If you've got the guts, predict the future yourself!"
"Alright, stop arguing. If it really comes to it, we can all go out and hunt a Military Wolf tomorrow," the One-eyed Pirate Michael said.
"Damn it! Michael, are you two together? You always defend her."
Michael clearly panicked, his tone of voice changing: "Ian, you can eat whatever food you want, but you can't say whatever you want!"
"Pfft~" Mosen, before even entering the room, was amused by the conversation inside.
These four guys are really interesting!
As soon as Mosen spoke, everyone in the room knew he was back.
The next second, the door opened, and Mia was the first to rush out, heading straight for Mosen's handcart.
Mosen smiled, a chill surging around him.
Mia's heart leaped. The scene a few seconds later flashed before her eyes. She calmly adjusted her direction, easily dodging Mosen's successive attacks.
"Is this foresight? It's truly disgusting!" Mosen watched Mia, who was clinging to the cart and refusing to let go, and complained.
"Hey, hey~ Mia, can you pay attention to your image? We three big men are here!" Ian said.
"Heh! Don't blame me for looking down on you. All three of you together couldn't catch me. Besides, we're all locked up in this place, wearing these hideous prison uniforms. Image is long gone. However, if the Jailer would agree, I'd be willing to trade myself for some food. No man has touched me yet!" Mia then winked at Mosen.
Frankly, Mia was quite good-looking with a decent figure, but Mosen had witnessed how terrible her personality was. Moreover, she was a sadist, and Mosen felt he couldn't handle her.
"Alright, alright! Stop messing around! I'm not afraid of the cold, are you? Hurry up and come in!"
Mia jumped off the cart upon hearing this and helped Mosen move the food into the room.
"Has anything happened in Extreme Cold Hell recently?" Mosen asked the four gathered around the stove.
"No, besides us four, two-thirds of the prisoners brought in earlier froze to death. The remaining one-third are relatively strong, with bounties over 200 million Berries. They formed alliances and survive by hunting Military Wolves, managing to barely adapt to the environment of Extreme Cold Hell," Michael replied.
"Have these prisoners attacked you? They must be envious of you living here, right?"
"Yes! More than one group. In the past month, Paddy has killed at least 10 prisoners," Ian said.
"I've always been curious, Paddy, are you the strongest among the prisoners in Extreme Cold Hell?" Mosen turned to ask Paddy.
"My Armament Haki is definitely the strongest among the prisoners. As for other aspects, my physique probably gives me some advantage. As you know, I'm an Zoan-type, Pig-Pig Fruit, Ancient Zoan, Babirusa form user. Pigs themselves are tough and thick-skinned, and my fruit has awakened. Seastone handcuffs can restrict my Devil Fruit ability, but they can't restrict my physique. My recovery speed is still very fast. Most of those prisoners are cold and hungry, lacking stamina, and their attacks aren't strong enough to hurt me. As for me, I just need to hit them with a fist wrapped in advanced Armament Haki."
After hearing Paddy's explanation, Mosen said with some envy, "So this is the Great Pirate who can fight Kuzan evenly? One punch for a Pirate with a 200 million Berry bounty."
Paddy chuckled foolishly, scratching her head without speaking.
"Michael, I remember you said you knew some swordsmanship before, right?" Mosen changed the subject and asked.
"Mm."
"Then, Michael, what's the level of your swordsmanship? Are you a Swordmaster?"
"About that! I can slash flying slashes, so I guess I'm a Swordmaster. I learned too many things in the Navy, knowing a lot but mastering none. Mosen, if you want to learn swordsmanship from me, I can probably only teach you the basics."
"It's fine, it's better than not knowing anything at all."
Michael nodded, indicating he understood.
That afternoon, Mosen made a special trip upstairs to ask Argo for two standard Navy longswords. You need the right equipment to learn swordsmanship!
After receiving the sword, Michael said to Paddy, "Paddy, can you do me a favor?"
"Sure!"
"I haven't even told you what it is yet!"
"Anything is fine," Paddy said with a foolish smile.
"Paddy, have you always been this way?" Ian asked with a frown.
"What way?"
"I can't quite say, but I just feel like you wouldn't refuse anyone and always just go along with what they say."
"That's a typical people-pleasing personality," Mosen added.
"People-pleasing personality? That description fits quite well. Paddy, you're so strong, why do you still need to please others?" Ian asked, confused.
"I-I'm not very smart. Without someone directing me, I'm afraid I'll make mistakes," Paddy replied weakly.
"You're not smart? Then how did you protect your country before? And how did you think of joining the Flying Pirate Group?" Ian continued to ask.
"My father made those decisions for me. The members of my pirate group were also recruited by my father. Before I was captured, I always followed my father's arrangements. After being captured, I just listened to Mia."
"Why do you listen to Mia?" Mosen asked curiously.
"I feel Mia is smarter than my father, and Mia also taught me Observation Haki."
"Paddy, Mia taught you Observation Haki too?" Michael asked, stunned for a moment.
"Paddy already knew Observation Haki. I just told her the future development direction for Observation Haki," Mia explained.
"So that's how it is. Michael, you just said you wanted Paddy to help you with something. How exactly?" Mosen turned to Michael and asked.
"It's nothing much, I just want to show off my swordsmanship. I estimate only Paddy here can withstand my attacks."
"Withstand? Does that mean I don't have to dodge?" Paddy asked.
"Yes."
"Can I use Armament Haki to defend?"
"Of course. I just want to show off my swordsmanship, I definitely can't let you get hurt!"
Paddy nodded, indicating she understood.
