Shakky was taken aback by Werther's question, but then something occurred to her.
"I'm sorry, but I don't know much about that."
Werther had expected as much, yet he still couldn't help feeling disappointed. All he remembered about his so-called younger sister was a clue involving a stuffed toy.
Because of the boy's lingering influence, Werther felt a warmth toward the sister he had never met, along with a longing to see her. It was the price of fully taking over this body, but he didn't mind.
"Seriously. You disappear and leave me with this mess. Where am I supposed to look?
"Forget it. I'll leave it to fate. If we're meant to meet, we will someday."
Shakky said nothing. She knew he wasn't talking to her.

"Got it. Oh, and if Roronoa Zoro comes by, tell him to bring Black Blade: Shusui to me. I want to see whether he's worthy of wielding the sword that once Dragon-Slaying."
Shakky lowered the cigarette she had been about to put to her lips.
“Black Blade: Shusui? Dragon-Slaying, could it be you...?”
"I see. Longliang, Ryuma... You're a disciple of that man's descendant. What a surprise.
"In that case, I'll pass along the message if I see him."
