Viola and Rebecca were taken to their cabins separately.
The door opened.
Uchiha Xin went inside.
Viola immediately stepped in front of Rebecca.
Her body was tense, but her hands were not in an attacking stance.
The Glint-Glint Fruit had already allowed her to see everything that was happening outside.
Doflamingo is defeated.
The entire Donquixote Family submitted.
Even that monster didn't dare to resist; with her strength, any action she took would be meaningless.
Rebecca grabbed Viola's clothes.
She was forcibly taken from the arena and sent to a strange, large ship.
His face was pale, and even his fingers were trembling.
What do you want us to do?
Viola spoke first.
Uchiha Xin walked up to the two of them.
"Join the Thunder Emperor Corps."
Viola paused, her breath catching in her throat.
She had already seen the thirty-six women on the deck.
Those people wield lightning and Haki.
Even the weakest among them are at the rank of Marine Vice Admiral.
Some of them even possessed an aura far surpassing hers.
We're not a good match.
Viola immediately said:
"Although Rebecca has participated in arena battles, her strength is far from sufficient."
"I'm only good at using the Glint-Glint Fruit for reconnaissance."
"Not strong in direct combat either."
"The members of the Thunder Emperor Corps are all powerful individuals."
"We don't have that talent, and we don't meet the team's standards."
Rebecca hid behind her, nodding repeatedly.
"I... I really can't."
"I can't even beat the officers of the Donquixote Family."
Joining the legion will only drag others down.
Uchiha Xin and chuckled softly.
You've got it wrong.
Viola stared at him.
"What?"
Uchiha Xin's gaze swept over the two of them.
"There is only one standard for joining the Thunder Emperor Corps."
"We only accept women who are exceptionally beautiful."
Viola froze.
She understood the meaning of those words instantly.
Combat strength can be increased.
Talent isn't the key factor either.
What Uchiha Xin valued was never their current strength.
The color drained from Viola's face quickly.
She instinctively pulled Rebecca even tighter, but couldn't find any way to escape.
Doflamingo has already submitted.
The Donquixote Family couldn't stop Uchiha Xin.
All thirty-six members of the Thunder Emperor Corps on the ship obeyed his orders.
They had no power to resist.
They didn't even have the right to refuse.
Viola was filled with utter despair, and she stood in front of Rebecca.
She has already seen the situation clearly.
The subordinates Doflamingo brought couldn't stop Uchiha Xin.
It was even less likely that she and Rebecca would escape.
But she still didn't move aside.
Rebecca knows nothing.
"She was just captured by Doflamingo."
"You want me to join the Thunder Emperor Corps? I can agree."
Viola took a deep breath.
But you must let her go.
Rebecca looked up abruptly.
Viola!
"Shut up."
Viola gripped her hand tightly.
"I'll handle this."
Rebecca's eyes were red.
She tried to step forward, but Viola blocked her way.
Uchiha Xin looked at the two of them.
"Are you prepared to trade yourself for her leaving?"
"Good."
Viola answered quickly.
"I possess the Glint-Glint Fruit."
"If you're willing to let Rebecca go, I can gather intelligence for you and obey your orders."
"I will do whatever you ask of me."
After she finished speaking, she took a step forward.
"This is my only condition."
Uchiha Xin refused.
You have no right to negotiate with me.
Viola's face turned pale.
"You've already got twelve women, plus baby-5."
"Isn't that enough, even with the original Thunder Emperor Corps?"
Why must Rebecca be kept?
"Because it was my decision."
Uchiha Xin's answer was very direct.
"Now that you've boarded this ship, there's no way you can leave."
"Joining the Thunder Emperor Corps is not an invitation."
"That's an order."
The room fell silent.
Rebecca gripped Viola's clothes, her fingers tightening.
Do we really have no choice?
Uchiha Xin looked at her.
"No."
What if we refuse?
The outcome will not change.
Rebecca lowered her head.
After Doflamingo took control of Dressrosa, she always wanted to overthrow the Donquixote Family.
In order to obtain the Flame-Flame Fruit, she entered the arena and fought against countless people.
She originally thought Doflamingo was the most terrifying enemy.
Just now, Doflamingo knelt before Uchiha Xin and admitted that he was the other party's henchman.
Even Doflamingo didn't dare to refuse, so what could she possibly do?
Viola remained silent for a moment before finally releasing her arm that had been blocking Rebecca's path.
"I see."
She looked at Uchiha Xin.
"I can obey."
"I only ask that you don't hurt Rebecca."
Uchiha Xin did not continue to make things difficult for them.
"As long as you obey, you will not be harmed."
Viola turned around and straightened Rebecca's clothes.
Don't be afraid.
At least we're still together.
Rebecca nodded.
She was still nervous, but did not continue arguing.
Uchiha Xin walked to the door.
"Come out."
The door opened.
The two followed him back to the deck.
Doflamingo's Clippers have left.
baby-5 stood on one side of the deck with the twelve women.
Hancock sat near the main seat, surrounded by thirty-six members of the Thunder Emperor Corps.
All eyes were on Viola and Rebecca.
Marguerite was the first to arrive.
"Master, are they also joining the Thunder Emperor Corps?"
"Good."
Uchiha Xin looked at Baby-5.
"And there are thirteen of them."
Upon hearing this, baby-5 immediately looked up.
Am I needed too?
Instead of being afraid, she took two steps forward.
"Do you really need me to join the Legion?"
"Um."
"No matter what I do, you will need me?"
"Just obey orders."
Baby-5's eyes immediately lit up.
"I do!"
"I promise I'll be good!"
Rebecca looked at her, puzzled.
The person just abandoned by the Donquixote Family was clearly baby-5.
But now, she's the first to agree.
Viola understands Baby-5's personality and has no choice but to keep Rebecca by her side.
"Ignore her."
Uchiha Xin didn't waste any time.
" Hancock."
Hancock got up from her seat.
"My husband."
"Prepare the banquet."
"The expansion of the Thunder Emperor Corps is complete today."
Hancock nodded.
"I will arrange it immediately."
The thirty-six members of the Thunder Emperor Corps quickly sprang into action.
Drinks and food were brought to the deck.
The long tables on the ship were all pushed together.
Baby-5, Rebecca, Viola, and the twelve women sent by Doflamingo were seated near the main table.
At first, they were still a little reserved.
Especially those twelve women.
