Chapter 113 / Chapter 114

Arriving in ten minutes, what does that mean?

How could they have arrived so quickly? That's impossible.

"No, Sister Baccarat..."

Viola snapped out of her daze and was about to speak when she realized the phone was already switched off and the call had ended.

He shook his head, gave a wry smile, and said, "They hung up so quickly, without explaining anything!"

Looking at King Riku and Rebecca, she frowned her beautiful eyebrows, her pretty face full of doubt, and asked a question.

"She just said Chris would be here in ten minutes, did I hear that right?"

Rebecca shrugged, a helpless expression on her exquisite face, and said, "I heard it too, it really was ten minutes."

"But how is that possible? He's in the East Blue, how could he possibly get here?"

"Could it be that Chris and the others have been joking with us all along and have no intention of saving Dressrosa at all?"

Rebecca shook her head, her brows furrowing slightly, directly contradicting her own statement.

"No, that's not right. Judging from Baccarat's expression, she doesn't seem to be joking; she's very serious."

"But for him to appear here within these ten minutes, it can only mean that Chris is in Dressrosa; there's only one possibility."

Her voice trailed off, a look of horror crossing her pretty face. She murmured, "If he's in Dressrosa, could this be a conspiracy?"

"Could he have teamed up with Doflamingo? Is he on his way to the Flower Field?"

"Aunt, Grandpa, do you think it might be like this?!"

Rebecca looked at the two of them and said hurriedly, "Why don't we leave here quickly and retreat first..."

Chapter 113

What are you talking about?

Viola rolled her eyes at her and said irritably, "What if Chris really teamed up with Doflamingo?"

"Then they'll just attack directly. How could they possibly tell us they'll arrive within ten minutes?"

"Besides, I still trust Baccarat's character; she wouldn't deceive us."

Upon hearing Viola's words, Rebecca exclaimed "Oh!" and her beautiful eyes lit up as she suddenly Satori.

She patted her chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a sweet smile, "Then I'm relieved. It's good that you're alright."

"But what did Baccarat mean by that? What does 'within ten minutes' mean?"

King Riku frowned, his face serious. "There's definitely something wrong here. Perhaps we've already been exposed."

"Chris and Doflamingo are very likely on their way."

"To be absolutely sure, let's leave here for now. If nothing unusual is found later, we can come back later."

Viola quickly waved her hand and said urgently, "Father, there's no need to rush back."

"You've forgotten my abilities. I can see what's happening within a 4,000-kilometer radius, and I can keep track of any movement in time."

"I'll go out and check the situation now. As long as Doflamingo is at King's Plateau, it means we haven't been exposed and are safe."

Rebecca's beautiful eyes lit up, and a sweet and charming smile bloomed on her exquisite and delicate face. She spoke excitedly in a melodious voice.

"That's right, Aunt's Devil Fruit Ability is incredibly powerful."

"Not only can it see through other people's minds, but it can also observe the situation thousands of kilometers away. Tsk tsk, now I don't have to worry anymore."

King Riku finally understood, nodded, and, feeling greatly pleased, said with a smile, "Viola's ability is indeed very powerful."

"It's perfect for spying on the enemy."

"Alright, in that case, go out and observe. If you find any problems, come back and let me know immediately. Don't delay."

Viola simply didn't believe Chris would do such a thing, but since King Riku had said so, she had no choice but to go out and offer her opinion.

She brushed a strand of hair from her forehead, saying with a wry smile, "Okay, okay, I got it."

"You can wait here peacefully, don't worry about anything, everything will be fine."

"I'll go up and take a look, then I'll come right back down. We'll talk more later."

After speaking, she slowly stood up and walked gracefully towards the door.

Suddenly, a faint voice echoed from inside the room.

"Viola, are you leaving without giving me the map?"

With a whoosh, Chris suddenly appeared at the doorway.

Shock.

I was utterly shocked.

The air fell silent instantly; there wasn't a sound in the room.

The three of them were completely stunned, frozen in place, unable to react at all.

The young man standing at the door had his hands in his pockets, was dressed in black, and was quite handsome, about 10 centimeters tall.

He possesses a calm and reserved demeanor, exuding the aura of a powerful figure, and appears extremely mysterious.

"You..."

Rebecca pointed at Chris, her beautiful eyes wide, her stunningly fair face filled with horror, and she stammered out a sentence.

"You are... you are Chris..."

Viola also came to her senses, her eyes widening in shock as she murmured, "What... what happened??"

King Riku sat up straight, his weathered face also showing surprise, and he said incredulously.

How did you get here?

"And how did you find out about this place?"

"This place is my revolutionary base; no outsiders know about it. How could you possibly know?"

The shock was so great that the old man, King Riku, was unable to calm down and asked several questions in a row.

Chris looked at the three of them and said calmly as always, "Didn't Baccarat tell you that I would be here in ten minutes?"

The three exchanged glances, each seeing the shock in the other's eyes.

That's incredible.

The three of them were still in a daze, completely stunned by Chris.

"No..."

Viola rubbed her smooth forehead, feeling like her brain wasn't working properly. A look of surprise appeared on her delicate and elegant face, and she quickly said something.

"Lord Chris, I'll ask you one by one, and I hope you can answer them."

Viola looked at Chris, shook her head, and said with a wry smile, "The three of us are still completely confused and don't understand what's going on."

Rebecca nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice, and hurriedly added, "Yes, yes, I don't even know what to say anymore."

"My feelings are so complicated, I don't even know how to describe them, I'm just shocked."

King Riku, being more experienced, gradually calmed himself down and began to ask questions with a frown.

"Let me ask you a question first, Lord Chris, how did you find out about this place?"

He's a shrewd and experienced man who deeply understands one principle.

When you give a gift, you always have something in mind!

Since you're asking Chris for help, you need to be sincere and show enough respect.

This has nothing to do with age; it's simply a way of expressing respect for the strong.

Rebecca and Viola nodded in unison, their beautiful eyes fixed on the mysterious man, waiting for his answer.

"I know far more than you can imagine."

Chris, his hands still in his pockets, said calmly, "Once you reach a certain level of strength, you'll know the answer."

"For the sake of the map, I can answer two more questions for you. Think it over before you speak."

The three looked at each other again, and they finally understood.

Chris is indeed very cold-blooded; he doesn't say a word of nonsense and is never smiling.

He acted very cold and ruthless!!

"You two can ask questions, one question each."

King Riku leaned back in his chair, rubbing his forehead; he needed to rest.

As people get older, they can't handle too much emotional Shockwave, so let's leave the questions to the two young people.

Rebecca and Viola looked at each other, both of their pretty faces still showing surprise.

Viola blinked her beautiful eyes, her smile gentle and dignified as she said, "Let me ask first, then you can ask yours later."

"Okay, I was just thinking about what question I wanted to ask."

Rebecca nodded gently, her eyebrows curving, her smile sweet and lovely, she looked absolutely beautiful.

Viola turned to look at the powerful young man, her long, delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly. Her exquisitely beautiful face showed a look of deep confusion as she asked a question.

"Lord Chris, were you in the East Blue just now?"

Chris remained expressionless and calm, stating directly, "That's right, I just arrived here from the East Blue."

Shock.

The three of them were once again utterly shocked.

What did Chris mean by that?

I was in the East Blue a moment ago, and then in less than ten minutes, I appeared in the Dressrosa Kingdom in the New World.

How is that possible??

From the East Blue to the New World, how far is that?

The three of them were speechless, staring blankly at Chris as if they had lost their souls and were completely unable to come to their senses.

The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop clearly...

(These last few chapters have focused on Viola and Rebecca, for no other reason than that the author really likes them. Also, it's to introduce new plot points, so both factors are involved (￣￣).)

Chapter 114

"How is that possible?"

Viola shook her head violently, her beautiful, fair face filled with horror, and she murmured something.

"Getting here from the East Blue in ten minutes is impossible. Who could do that?"

"This is not something a human could do; it's definitely impossible."

Suddenly, Viola realized what was happening, her pretty face filled with apology, and she looked at Chris with embarrassed eyes.

"Lord Chris, I'm not questioning you, I'm just so shocked, it feels unbelievable."

King Riku and Rebecca didn't speak, but nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Chris, his hands still in his pockets, remained calm and said lightly, "One last question. Go ahead."

The three couldn't help but exchange a glance, all seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.

The young man in front of me was far too aloof, sparing with his words, not uttering a single unnecessary remark.

This made the three of them feel very uncomfortable and out of place.
