For some reason.

Seeing this smile that was obviously full of affinity, Heck seemed to have run into a demon, and his heart suddenly felt uneasy. The calmness that had just recovered from clarification of the situation showed signs of elimination of the drumming again.

Will this guy... behave like everything he said before, lie to himself?

The other party may not have thought of hanging around in the navy. What if it was just a group of murderous pirates who wanted to use their naval colonel to cover up and arrive at the Island of Ear, where the 78th branch was located, attracting all the people who came to welcome them, and then go to the city to burn, kill, and loot?

Or, among these guys who seem to be powerful, some are proficient in disguise techniques, and even those who can change their appearance at will?

Just as I was nervous and entangled, Vito's voice finally came to my ears:

"It seems that you are still a little brainy, not as stupid as you look. Unfortunately... your guess is still a bit deviant after all."

Mistaked?

Heck suffocated his breath, and the hairs behind him exploded. Almost at this moment, he was ready to break out of the window and jump out of the sea to escape at any time.

If it is really another possibility, then the previous analysis will naturally become a joke. If you stay in the carriage, you will definitely die today!

However.

At this moment, a lazy cat moan suddenly sounded. Heck looked in the sound, but saw the ragdoll cat that had been lying in Vito's arms from the beginning, slowly sat up and glanced at him disdainfully.

The next moment.

A white glow suddenly appeared around the Ragdoll Cat, and its body expanded and changed rapidly. Within just one or two seconds, under Heck's incredible gaze, he turned into a charming girl with long chestnut red hair and extremely slim and hot figure.

"Hehe, I haven't changed back for a long time, Master..."

The charming girl with long chestnut hair first wrapped her arms tightly around Vito's neck intimately, then turned her head and showed a malicious smile to Heck:

"Hey, I'm talking about fat man. You were just saying that there were only three men and one woman in this carriage, right?"

"Why, I am as gentle and beautiful as this lady, I am not considered human in your eyes?"

What's the situation?

Poor Colonel Heck was still standing there with a confused look on his face, his mouth wide open as if he could stuff an egg.

Obviously, even if the follower was shot one after another, the visual impact caused to him was far less profound than the sudden appearance of the beautiful girl in front of him.

Is the fur tribe? The girl who has turned from a cat to a human in front of me is the fur tribe who is rumored to come from Zowu Island in the New World?

It's not right. Although Heck had never seen the fur tribe with his own eyes, he had been with Marinfanduo for so many years and knew that this race was probably a half-human and half-beast. The girl in front of him was a pure cat before, but now she was a pure human being, and it was nothing different from the fur tribe.

Could it be the animal-type devil fruit ability?

Heck's thoughts were like lightning, and in a moment he thought of many possibilities. When the charming girl opposite saw that he was reluctant to answer, she was immediately angry. She was about to tease her, but Vito smiled and reached out to stop her.

"Introduction, this is Hathaway."

Vito looked at Heck, "It's a kitten I raised since I was a child, and it's also half of my maid. Although I don't usually show my original appearance, after you arrive at the base, you have to arrange a suitable empty position for her. Do you understand?"

"Ming...understand."

Heck didn't react in his head and asked subconsciously, "Miss Hathaway, can't it be..."

"Savvy?"

Vito raised his eyebrows, as if he had seen through Heck's little thoughts. He shrugged and said indifferently:

"That's right, the animal-based cat fruit is a ragdoll cat shape. I don't know what I thought at the beginning, so I have to eat this useless garbage fruit..."

"It's not a useless fruit!"

The girl with long chestnut hair in her arms was dissatisfied and rubbed her little head hard against the stubble on Vito's chin, and said angrily, "Young Master, Bad Master, I know how to make fun of others with this..."

However, this cute and cute act did not work at all. Vito frowned and looked down at her strangely, "All introductions have been completed, why haven't you changed back?"

"Eh?" Hathaway raised her head in shock, her eyes as beautiful as ruby ​​were full of confusion, "But I just..."

"Stop talking nonsense."

In front of outsiders, Vito was merciless and reached out to rub Hathaway's soft long hair into a mess. "Either change it back to me honestly and continue to lie in my arms, or I kick you in the rain and choose yourself."

"oh."

Hathaway felt aggrieved, but in the end he chose the former. He let go of his arms reluctantly, and the white light on his body lit up, turning back to the cute ragdoll cat.

It was at this moment that Colonel Heck noticed that the beautiful and charming girl had a small bald head on her head, but it was covered by her long chestnut red hair. She would not notice it without careful observation.

"That's right."

Vito happily stroked the ragdoll cat's head, feeling the familiar soft feel, and then he regained his comfortable look.

At this time, Colonel Heck, who was stunned on the spot, finally felt blessed with his heart. He suddenly remembered Vito's words just now and woke up completely.

"You...you just said, would you like to help me arrange a position for Miss Hathaway?"

He looked at Vito in a hurry and spoke carefully, "So, so..."

"So your previous guess is correct."

Vito interrupted him directly and said lightly, "It's just a misjudgment of the number of people. I won't kill you, because my goal is to enter the 78th branch, start from the lieutenant inside, and after completely eliminating the hidden dangers of identity, we will advance step by step."

"And you are the most important partner I chose in my initial stage."

The bet was right.

Heck's heart fell to the ground. He grabbed the corner of his clothes, and then he realized that his back was soaked in cold sweat at some point, and he suddenly felt afraid.

Fortunately, I just held it back and did not revenge for the death of my lover, nor did I jump out of the window to escape under fear. Otherwise, the one who was lying here now would probably be a corpse.

"Since we are partners, it's time for us to get to know each other again."

Vito's low voice suddenly came from his ears. Heck raised his head blankly, and then he noticed that the handsome blonde man in front of him had slowly stood up from behind the seat.

Heck was only over 1.8 meters tall, and Vito's tall body stood in front of him and was two heads tall.

So at this moment, Heck could only look up, and the orange lights in the car seemed to be blocked by the man in front of him. He could only vaguely see the calm but oppressive face between half light and half dark:

"My name is Vito, Corleon Vito. I am a bandit who has unified the eastern mountains of the Red Clay Continent for the past ten years. I have more than ten thousand subordinates under my command."

"The local kingdom nobles regard me as a thorn in their eyes, and the world government also offers a reward of 250 million Baileys. I want my head, but unfortunately I have not been able to do it for so many years."

Two hundred and fifty million Baileys?

Heck's heart was trembling, and his eyes were filled with disbelief and horror.

"But now, I took the initiative to deliver it to my door because there was no longer what I wanted in that mountain range. I had to come to the outside world and look for it on this sea."

Vito's voice paused, and then faintly sounded, "Col. Heck, do you know, what I want?"

"What?"

Heck became nervous again, and he vaguely felt that he seemed to have entered a world he had never imagined.

"Power, greater power!"

In the cold autumn rain and under the dim lights, Vito suddenly opened his arms and bit the smoke and laughed loudly. The laughter penetrated the glass window and echoed on the sea surface in the middle of the night.

"No matter how powerful he has in the deep mountains and old forests, what's the point of being a bandit king?"

"What I want is unparalleled power, more powerful than everyone in this world!"

"so."

He stopped smiling and looked down at Heck, who was already stunned:

"Col. Heck, can you tell me what is the organization that is closest to the word power itself in this world, this sea?"

"Sea...Navy?"

Heck swallowed, almost subconsciously answering, "There is also the world government behind it..."

"What a clear answer."

Vito snapped his fingers, sat back on his seat, and smiled gently and kindly at Heck again: "Look, you Marinfan is more clear-headed. You will not be like those pirates who are confused, saying such stupid words as One Piece Roger is the man closest to power."

"So."
