Confession

Beneath the waning moon, wolves howl.

"I've already given you a chance, but you didn't appreciate it. Since that's the case, then you can go and die at sea with this cargo!" Alain tore off his gentlemanly facade and gave the order to his men, "Kill them!"

Jilan, with one arm around Little Red Riding Hood's waist, coldly watched the scene before him. Alain's men drew their gleaming weapons, their faces etched with bloodthirsty smiles, and swarmed towards him like a tide.

Without Barus's interference, they were determined to kill Robin Hood.

The two closest to Jilan— one extended a sharp claw from the back of his hand and licked it with his tongue, while the other pulled a sharp blade from his pocket, twirled it, and charged at Robin Hood from both sides. One attacked Robin Hood, while the other reached out to grab Little Red Riding Hood's clothes, hoping to distract him and trap him in the crowd!

However, Robin Hood simply chuckled, then spread his arms wide, hoisting Little Red Riding Hood onto the deck. Just before reaching the ground, he pulled Little Red Riding Hood into his arms, rolled over to absorb the impact, and landed successfully!

Although his dodge avoided the combined attack of the two, it wasn't a brilliant improvisation, as it also left him surrounded by more Dark Shadow members waiting on the ground!

Alain let out a maniacal laugh. "Foolish, utterly foolish! To put yourself in a more dangerous situation just to avoid a non-lethal attack!"

Is this an even more dangerous situation? Jilan glanced around. Several Dark Shadow members were fanning out around her in front, while behind her stood a colossal creature that looked utterly terrifying. In Alain's eyes, was she already out of options?

After Toga appeared, he was ignored by the sperm Jilan. It seemed that filling his own stomach was not as important as keeping an eye on those two people. This Toga a little angry. They were all dirty, and this stinky whale dared to ignore him. Was it saying that he was not even worth being bait?

Toga looked at Little Red Riding Hood and realized that compared to herself, she was more like the kind of person who would never be absent from a popcorn movie—a blonde, big-breasted young woman. If that was the case, what was her purpose here?

Himiko Toga n't read many books, mostly fairy tales. In her eyes at that moment, everyone was focused on Robin Hood and Little Red Riding Hood, as if they were the center of the stage, the princess and prince being attacked by villains, while she herself seemed to be a superfluous bystander!

For some reason, Toga suddenly got angry. Since that's the case, she decided to leave the show and quit in a huff!

Toga took a step forward, she saw Alain's cold green eyes staring at her, as if to say that if she thought of leaving now, he would not let her go.

Toga pulled back the foot he had taken and turned around again.

Hmph, it's not that I'm afraid of death! It's just that I haven't fulfilled Stain's wish yet, haven't completed this mission, and haven't seen Lord Robin Hood's true face. So, I won't choose to die so easily!

This is Toga heartfelt wish. We haven't reached the end of our rope yet, so she won't choose that path that leads to certain death. Besides, isn't now a good opportunity to confess her feelings to Lord Robin Hood?

Due to the sperm whale's enormous size, no one dared to approach and attack Robin Hood directly; they simply launched projectiles at him and Little Red Riding Hood.

However, fearing to anger the whales, they only dared to project their gaze towards Robin Hood. Jilan smiled gently, reached out and removed the red cloak from Little Red Riding Hood's body, and silently chanted "Turquoise Blue Hamon Overdrive." Instantly, the red cloak began to faintly shimmer with a green light!

The Turquoise Blue Hamon Overdrive is a type of Hamon that requires minimal effort but covers a wide area. Jilan covered it with a soft cloak, creating a Hamon magnetic field that caused all ranged attacks within its reach to lose acceleration.

Jilan waved his cloak, constantly blocking the projectiles flying towards him and Little Red Riding Hood. Neither lasers nor fingernails had any effect on the seemingly enchanted cloak!

Alain grew increasingly agitated, biting her nails. "Why? Why isn't that sperm whale attacking them yet? Those two are so close!"

Originally, the sperm whale was a neutral creature that would attack indiscriminately if anyone approached it. But now, Robin Hood somehow attracted the sperm whale's attention, causing it to stop attacking!

In fact, Jilan did not use any complicated methods to achieve this. She simply kept stimulating the "Ambergris" hidden in the cover of her watch with Hamon, so that the sperm whale could sense its presence but could not find its location. This made the mindless sperm whale doubt Jilan's existence and gave it the illusion that Jilan was actually part of its body. Before it realized this, it would never attack Jilan.

"Perhaps your actions weren't motivated by justice. What kind of skill is it for so many people to chase after one girl? If you're so capable, let's have a one-on-one fight!" Robin Hood said passionately, his voice showing no sign of fear.

"Ridiculous." Alain shook his head speechlessly, not responding to Jilan's clumsy provocation. Just as he was about to say, "Don't worry about that whale, charge at it!", an unexpected change occurred.

Despite being ignored all along Himiko Toga, Jilan took advantage of Jilan's back being turned to him and pounced on him in just a few steps!

Jilan sensed it keenly and used one arm to hold Little Red Riding Hood's waist, thus avoiding Toga's sudden attack.

What the hell is this? Jilan's eyelids twitched. Jilan hadn't been particularly wary of Himiko Toga, because at this moment, she had no reason to fight her. Anyone with normal eyesight could see that she wasn't her enemy. Could it be that she now wanted to help the Dark Shadow?

However, Jilan's dodging of the pounce didn't discourage Toga. I immediately turned around and shouted in a strong tone, "Lord Robin Hood, I love you!"

Toga shouted excitedly. Although his voice wasn't very loud, his words drifted on the night breeze to the Werewolf's ears.

Alain's brow twitched. According to Toga's Clones, she and this Robin Hood weren't acquainted. Did that mean her original self had fallen for him in such a short time? But confessing her feelings now, when her life was in her own hands, meant he wanted to commit suicide for love?

Alain raised his hand, temporarily stopping his men's futile attacks. There was still some time before the ship fell completely silent, and he wanted to see what Toga wanted to do.

Jilan Jiyu frowned involuntarily when he smelled the fishy smell on Toga. This smell was fine if you didn't notice it, but once you did, it made him, a germaphobe, very uncomfortable. When he saw Toga trying to pounce on him, he grabbed her wrist and threw her towards Alain's men, keeping her away from him.

The smell was unbearable even for Werewolf, Alain's men silently retreated two meters.

Jilan took a slight breath and looked at Toga with some disgust. What kind of time is this to be causing trouble for herself? If she hadn't promised Twice, she would have killed her right now.

But no, putting aside his promise to Twice, everyone at U.A. High School. is watching him now, and he absolutely cannot do anything that goes against his image.

Pushed Toga seemed to sense Jilan's rejection this time. She stopped a meter away from Jilan, as if confessing to someone she liked in school, and lowered her head shyly, whispering, "You're Jilan- sama, right? I really like you, you know, I like you so much..."

"I want to kill you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Toga revealed a somewhat morbid smile and pounced on Jilan head-on, opening his mouth wide and biting at Jilan's shoulder with his sharp fangs protruding from both sides like a zombie!
