Catching the Rabbit!

Upon reaching the front of the room, Gion quickly snatched a key from Mislanda's hand, then opened the door and ran inside!

Being alone in the room meant she neither had to fear Mislanda running amok nor worry about finding an opportunity to escape!

Perfect!

Yet before she could even close the door, Mislanda directly held it in place, then looked at Gion with a smile!

"What do you want? Let go right now, I'm tired and need to rest!"

Gion flurriedly pushed against Mislanda's chest, but couldn't budge him at all.

Instead, Mislanda walked straight into the room and closed the door behind him.

Watching Mislanda barge in so forcefully, Gion couldn't help placing a hand over her chest, eyeing him with defensive wariness.

"I'm warning you, if you dare lay a hand on me, you're dead!"

Gion threatened.

Yet in Mislanda's eyes, her threat was so pale and feeble.

"Hahahaha, you're a marine and I'm a pirate. Even if I hadn't taken you hostage, I wouldn't come to a good end if the marines caught me!"

"Since that's the case...!"

Mislanda lifted a strand of Gion's hair and brought it to his nose to sniff.

Well, it smelled quite nice!

"If I make you go back carrying our child, would Steel Bone Kong let me off the hook for the sake of the baby?"

"In your dreams!"

Gion hurriedly retreated a few steps.

If she really ended up pregnant with Mislanda's child, she wouldn't even dare imagine the consequences!

"If you don't want that, then behave yourself. You hurt my face, and I won't let you off without proper compensation!"

Mislanda stepped forward again, hooked Gion's chin, and said viciously.

Then, he walked over to the bed and released the two people from the black hole space.

It was none other than Corazon and Luo.

Seeing two extra people suddenly appear, Gion was instantly shocked.

Who on earth were these two?

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Captain, I...!"

Corazon coughed a few times and tried to sit up, but Mislanda pressed him back down onto the bed.

He then stuffed a towel into Corazon's mouth and hovered his right hand about five centimeters above Corazon's chest.

A black vortex appeared, sucking toward the lower-lying Corazon.

"Ah---!"

Excruciating pain struck, and Corazon bit down hard on the towel!

A few seconds later, Mislanda withdrew his hand, and at this moment several bullets were in his palm!

"Don't speak, don't move around, get some good rest!"

He tossed a first-aid kit over to Luo at the side.

By now Luo had also woken up, and having no idea what was happening, he was completely bewildered.

"Stop staring blankly. You used to study medicine, bandage him up!"

Mislanda handed another key to Gion.

"Go wait for me in the other room, and don't run around, or the consequences will be very severe!"

With that, Mislanda glanced once more at the spot on Gion where he had struck her many times, the implication already self-evident!

Noticing Mislanda's gaze, Gion shivered and left without looking back!

Upon arriving at the other room, she immediately entered the bathroom and checked the spot where she had been hit!

"Jerk, using that much force!"

Back in the room, under Luo's flurry of activity, Corazon's wounds were already bandaged up.

"Mr. Corazon, how are you feeling?"

Luo asked hurriedly.

"Don't worry, Luo, I'm not going to die!"

"Quickly sense the power within yourself, I've had you eat the Op-Op Fruit. With it, your illness will get better very soon!"

Luo came from a family of doctors, and had it not been for the calamity in his hometown, he would have continued his dream of becoming a physician.

With a solid medical foundation coupled with the Op-Op Fruit, it would not take Luo long to become the best doctor in the world!

"Yeah, thank you, Mr. Corazon!"

He and Corazon were unrelated, yet the other person had been able to go to such lengths for him.

The favor was heavier than a mountain, practically akin to a second birth!

"Alright, Luo!"

Corazon looked at Luo very solemnly.

"Next, I'll be following this person; I'm his subordinate now. As for you...!"

Saying this, he looked over at Mislanda, wanting to see how he intended to arrange things for Luo.

"You don't need to worry, I won't force him!"

"If you don't want to follow Corazon and become my subordinate, then leave, I won't stop you!"

To be honest, the current Luo was of no use to Mislanda.

He didn't even particularly want the Op-Op Fruit, let alone a Luo!

If he genuinely wanted to leave, then he could go.

And if he wished to stay, Mislanda would welcome him as well.

Luo looked at Corazon, then looked at Mislanda.

Finally, he bowed deeply to Mislanda, then knelt before Corazon.

"Mr. Corazon, thank you so much for taking care of me for over a year!"

Over a year ago, Corazon had taken Luo everywhere in search of medical treatment, otherwise Luo might have already died by now!

"The path ahead, I'll walk it by myself!"

Corazon nodded, then helped Luo up and patted him on the shoulder.

"Good, take good care of yourself from now on!"

"With your abilities, you can definitely forge your own path, go make your way in the world!"

Just like that, Luo left.

The moment he stepped out of the room, Luo's tears already streamed down, but without making a sound of weeping.

Seeing this, Mislanda sighed.

He was a tough kid too!

"Alright, get some good rest, we're leaving tomorrow!"

Having said that, Mislanda didn't go out through the door, instead walking over to the window and opening it.

Seeing this, Corazon found it strange.

"Captain, aren't you going back to rest?"

Mislanda looked at the night scenery outside and shook his head.

"I can't rest yet, a little bunny isn't very well-behaved and keeps thinking about escaping under my nose!"

"I'll go catch her back before I rest!"

The next instant, Mislanda's figure vanished straight from the room!

That's right, taking advantage of Mislanda's absence, Gion had quietly made her escape!

By the time Mislanda gave chase, Gion had already piloted a small boat far away from the island!

Seeing that no one was pursuing her from behind, Gion breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as no one was chasing her!

"Hmph, Dark King Mislanda, you have your careless moments too!"

"Just wait, sooner or later I'll come back to settle the score!"

At the mere thought of her backside being beaten, and more than once at that, Gion wanted to bite Mislanda to death!

Yet right now she was simply no match for Mislanda!

There was no help for it; she would log today's grudge for now and exact revenge another day!

Yet just as she was rowing hard, the seawater beneath the small boat suddenly surged with a spout of water, blasting the boat directly up into the air!

The small boat was instantly severed right down the middle!

"What is the meaning of this?!"

Gion was alarmed, then hurriedly stepped on Geppo to avoid falling into the seawater.

Boom!

Suddenly, the ocean surface below moved again, and a water dragon soared into the sky, opening its maw to snap at Gion!

Being airborne, Gion couldn't dodge at all; she was directly chomped by the water dragon and plunged down into the sea.
