Holding Daisis hostage, Wude led his people all the way back to the seaside as those blocking their path moved aside.

"Everyone, get on the ship." Wude spoke to the people behind him.

Then Wude and Kuroh escorted Daisis onto their ship.

"Let my sister go!" Xiluo shouted angrily from within the crowd.

"From the moment you attacked, you lost the right to negotiate with me." Wude gave the order, and the ship left the island.

They would sail through the coastal waters.

Wude took Daisis from Kuroh. Kuroh spread his wings and flew into the sky.

It flew straight above Xiluo and began its decapitation operation.

No matter how terrifying Xiluo's abilities were without Observation Haki, he could only fall into a passive position.

"Make that bastard retreat, or I'll have all these people killed!" Xiluo threatened darkly.

A large number of people under Xiluo's control surrounded him, protecting him at close range.

"Wait!"

Daisis suddenly shouted. Both Wude and Xiluo looked toward her.

"We're willing to release everyone under our control. Stop!" Daisis spoke toward Wude.

The black cloth wrapped around her eyes automatically came undone under her ability's control.

Wude reached out and covered her eyes.

"You touched me. I'm so happy." Daisis's body trembled slightly.

"..." Wude was speechless. It seemed he had been worrying for nothing.

"Sis, what the hell are you doing? I can trade you back!" Xiluo shouted angrily.

"Brother, you've already lost. He wants to kill you, and you can't defend against him at all!" Daisis argued. "I really am stupid and foolish, but I saw that monster's true form just now. We can't win!"

After saying that, Daisis painfully fell to her knees and began to sob.

Kuroh could dispel the hypnotism, and the slaves of a small town couldn't block a silent assassination from the sky.

Besides, her fantasy of making this man hers had shattered.

"We liked each other so much, and we have plenty of money. Why? Sob, sob, sob..." Daisis covered her head and wailed.

"Charge!" Xiluo roared. With a wave of his hand, a large number of people raised their swords and ran toward the sea.

"Shut up, you stupid brother!" Daisis shrieked. "His assassination comes from the sky!"

Xiluo looked up at the sky in terror. Amid the great fear of life and death, he saw a graceful Black Ghost descending.

The fallen angel that seemed to come from the underworld reached out directly for his life.

"Stop." Xiluo lost all his strength and helplessly knelt on the beach. In the end, he could only despair and roar furiously at the sky.

The clattering of swords hitting the ground rang out one after another, and the people under Xiluo's control all stood where they were.

They stared blankly at their surroundings. Where was the assassination?

They couldn't see it.

"You stupid sister, you're always holding me back!" Xiluo shouted at his sister with tears on his face.

"You're the ugly one! I hate you so much!" Daisis wailed as she slapped the deck.

The world of pirates was cruel.

Those who lost would die.

"Rengoku Kyojuro, aren't you a Marine rear admiral? Hurry up and kill this vile bastard! She's nothing but a stupid puppet under my control!"

Xiluo knelt on the beach, constantly shuffling his knees toward the sea.

"Nonsense! I'm the mastermind. I used our familial bond to deceive you!" Daisis knelt before Wude, gripping his clothes with both hands as she begged through her tears. "Kill me. Xiluo is just an idiot who was used!"

"Stupid brother, what are you doing? Stop! Don't come any closer!" Daisis panicked as she watched Xiluo crawl toward the seawater on his knees, gradually losing his strength.

"What familial bond? You're not my sister at all. We don't even have the same surname, you useless piece of trash!" Xiluo struggled to speak while standing in the seawater.

"W-what?" Daisis's eyes lost their light as she looked at her brother in sorrow.

"I'm saying that you're nothing but a tool I used. Stop flattering yourself." After Xiluo said that, a wave knocked him over and swept him into the deep sea.

"Ahhh—Brother!" Daisis screamed in despair.

"Go pull him out." After watching the melodramatic tragedy for quite a while, Wude rubbed his forehead and waved to Jia.

With a splash, Jia leaped into the seawater and swam toward Xiluo.

If Wude hadn't seen a similar plot involving Gyutaro and Daki, he might have almost believed that these two truly hated each other.

Not long afterward, on the deck.

Daisis and Xiluo both snorted, neither looking at the other.

"All right, stop pretending." Wude sat in front of the two.

"Rear Admiral, kill me." Xiluo spoke first.

"Rear Admiral, kill me. I only ask to die in your arms." Daisis gave an alluring hum.

Wude laughed, and the tool-like people around him laughed as well.

"My name isn't Rengoku Kyojuro, and I'm not a Marine rear admiral. What does Rengoku Kyojuro killing you have to do with me?"

After Wude said that, Xiluo turned his head and stared at him in shock. "Liar!"

Daisis gazed at him coyly. "You're so bad. I like you even more now."

"Your sister needs to take her medicine." Wude had been holding that remark in for a long time.

"Agreed." Xiluo nodded.

"If you feed it to me, I'd even be willing to take poison." Daisis rolled her eyes at Wude.

"..." Wude was baffled.

He crouched in front of the woman and tapped her on the head. "Although you like me this much, I'm sorry, miss, but this isn't called love."

Daisis's body trembled. As Wude left, she burst into tears.

Wude then ordered everyone to leave.

The ship stopped at the shore. Everyone disembarked, leaving only the three of them aboard.

"Tell me. How far can you go?" Wude asked.

"What do you mean?" The siblings looked at him in confusion.

"Threats, hypnotism, and controlling people—all in one." Wude flipped through the wanted posters, looking for their photographs.

"If the person I control is stronger than me, the poison will collapse on its own." Xiluo answered.

"My hypnotism is very unstable and can unravel at any moment. It all depends on my brother's poison to threaten those people." Daisis secretly edged closer to Wude as she spoke.

"Have some self-respect!" Wude drew his sword. Daisis remained unmoved. A shameless woman seeking happiness wasn't afraid of death.

Wude looked at the two of them. Their abilities weren't as invincible as he had imagined, but if he used them properly, they could become two decent subordinates.

"Do you want to live?" Wude closed the wanted posters. He hadn't found any posters for the siblings.

"Yes!" The siblings answered in unison.

"Have you killed any civilians?" Wude asked.

"No!" Xiluo hurriedly shook his head.

Wude ignored him and looked at Daisis.

Daisis stared into Wude's eyes. After hesitating for a long time, she endured her brother's gaze and said, "I-I have."

Wude's gaze turned cold. Killing pirates was one thing, but someone who had killed civilians was not worth recruiting as a subordinate.

"How many?"

"..." Daisis's eyes filled with fear. She had only killed a few geisha she disliked, but the number of people her brother had killed was impossible to count.

"Then how high do you think your chances of surviving are?" Wude drew his chilling blade, his voice cold.

The fact that she couldn't even say how many people they had killed could only mean the number was far too great to count.

In his view, someone could kill countless enemies with ruthless determination, but those were enemies!

If they abandoned the last shred of restraint in their hearts and began slaughtering innocent civilians, then there was no saving them.

"Zero." Daisis smiled bitterly.

"My stupid sister..." Xiluo sighed. "Kill me. Let me die in her place."
