"Is it your charm, or are you people really just that lucky?"
Chris spread his hands. "People naturally seek better opportunities. It's simple enough."
"How far could they get on their own?"
Mihawk gave a slight shrug and said nothing.
Nearby, Perona was beside herself with excitement.
Morley's decision to join had already delighted her.
Now Lindbergh had joined too, which meant she suddenly had two fascinating new playmates!
Perona had long had her eye on Lindbergh's strange inventions.
"Horo-horo-horo! Now this'll be fun!"
"Every invention that guy makes is more interesting than the last!"
Reiju's eyes gleamed, and a faint smile touched her face. "His achievements in technology are no less impressive than Germa 66's."
"Putting those technologies to use within our crew could be a good idea."
Nami's eyes shone as she said sweetly, "I like that flying device Lindbergh invented best."
"If I had one, I could fly through the air whenever I wanted, just like Perona."
Baccarat smiled. "That's easy. Just ask him to make you one later!"
"For Lindbergh, something like that would be a piece of cake."
Makino glanced at Baccarat, then said softly, "Now that Lindbergh has joined us, only Crow is left!"
"Isn't it about time their fight ended?"
Alvida rested her enormous spiked club on her shoulder. "It could end at any moment."
"Enel took complete control of the fight ages ago. He's only playing with Crow now."
Kaya blinked her wide eyes and asked curiously, "Will Crow join us?"
"Enel's beaten him so badly. Won't he hold a grudge?"
Belo Betty exhaled a puff of smoke and snorted. "Only the incompetent resent those stronger than themselves!"
"If Crow's capable of great things, he won't care about that."
"He'll choose to stand with the strong. That's where he'll find more opportunities."
