Pirate: I Can Repel Everything

"Rebecca and I will listen in here and see how things stand."

Rebecca's beautiful eyes lit up, and she nodded in agreement, her face wreathed in smiles.

"Exactly! Grandpa and I will check things out and see whether Chris really wants to help us."

"Auntie, call him! Go on! I'll watch carefully, hee-hee~~"

Viola shook her head with a wry smile. "You're overthinking this. That's not how it works."

"If I call, Baccarat will be the one answering, not Chris."

Nami blinked her large eyes and rubbed her fair chin, looking serious. "That's true."

"He's not just the king of the Underworld. He has ties to the World Government, too. He has both sides covered."

Nami clenched her little hands, looking excited. "A pirate like him really knows how to get ahead.
