One Piece : Bounty Hunter King! Chapter 272: Dispute on the Rose Hunter!

The Loki incident had enraged Charlotte Linlin.

Perospero was well aware of this and broached the subject with care, fearing it might provoke her anger again.

"That brat..." Charlotte Linlin curled her lip. "Has Lola still not been found?"

Though Lola was her own daughter, in Charlotte Linlin's eyes, she was just a tool to forge a connection with the giants.

"No!" Perospero answered.

"Tell Loki we've found her and she's on Whole Cake Island!" Charlotte Linlin declared as she narrowed her eyes.

"But Mother, Lola hasn't been found—" Perospero was taken aback and began to speak, but then he understood Charlotte Linlin's intention.

'She plans to lure Loki here by deception, doesn't she?'

"Understood, Mother."

"Then hurry up and do it!" Seeing Charlotte Linlin wave her hand, Perospero turned and left.

Only after leaving did he realize he was drenched in cold sweat, because every mber of the Charlotte family felt tense when facing their terrifying mother.

...

After obtaining the Eternal Pose pointing to Whole Cake Island, the Rose Hunter didn't stop at any other islands.

The pirate crews of the Charlotte family had also received orders and dared not attempt to intercept them, because any attempt would only result in their defeat.

"Cyrus, you've been too relaxed lately," Robin remarked while using her abilities to row the boat and create arms to clean the deck and cabins under the influence of gravity.

Nearby, Baby 5, who was also performing these tasks, felt the weight of gravity pressing down on her to make her steps heavy.

"Have I? I'm currently engaged in ntal training, and it's also a form of rigorous training," Cyrus replied as he pushed aside the sunglasses that shielded him from the sun, lying on the deck chair and glancing at Robin standing beside him.

Robin looked appealing in her light sumr attire, and of course, Baby 5 was appealing too.

"Do you expect to believe that?" Robin asked, placing one hand on her hip and puffing out her cheeks as she looked down at the reclining Cyrus.

"Everything I said is true, because when your strength reaches my level, you'll understand the importance of ntal training," Cyrus said with sincere eyes. "If you don't believe , Robin, you can ask Issho. I'm sure he understands what I'm talking about."

Cyrus shifted the bla to Issho.

Issho paused as his sightless eyes shifted toward Cyrus.

"Apologies, but this old man doesn't understand what you're referring to. As for ntal training, it must be due to this old man's inadequate abilities."

Though Issho appeared solemn and earnest, his words sold Cyrus down the river.

"Issho, you've learned to be sly too now."

"This old man speaks only the truth!" Issho maintained the deanor of an honest man.

Robin stood with her arms akimbo as she watched their back-and-forth exchange.

"You rascal..." Cyrus curled his lip, realizing that when an honest person starts playing tricks, it's helpless.

'Forget it, I'll find a way to get even when the opportunity arises later,' Cyrus thought as he gave Issho an ill-intentioned look.

Issho, skilled in Observation Haki, detected the malice emanating from Cyrus.

"Ahem, surely with your magnanimity, you wouldn't hold it against this old man." Issho forced a smile as he spoke.

"Of course, my heart is very broad-minded," Cyrus nodded.

But Cyrus said that while gritting his teeth, and Robin, Issho, and Baby 5 all heard his words spoken through clenched jaws.

"In that case, let's schedule so intensive training soon. I thought we could relax for a while."

"Weren't you just talking about ntal training?" Robin smiled.

"Indeed, after ntal training cos physical training, so there's no conflict," Cyrus said without changing his expression.

"Guess whether I believe that or not?"

"I don't care if you believe it, because Baby 5 definitely will." As he spoke, Cyrus gave Baby 5 a look, and she nodded.

"Yes, you're right."

Seeing Cyrus seek Baby 5's agreent left Robin speechless.

"As for her, no matter what you say, she'll always agree with you." Robin understood Baby 5's situation well by now, having shared a room during training with plenty of opportunities to get to know each other.

"I'm not that kind of person," Baby 5 beca defensive upon hearing this.

"Could you please bring two glasses of fresh juice?"

"Of course, no problem!" Hearing this, Baby 5 cheerfully headed into the ship's cabin.

Cyrus was speechless.

'Well done, you're even more skilled at using Baby 5 than I am now.'

Just as Cyrus was about to speak, his expression shifted and he sat up from the deck chair.

"They're finally here." A smile appeared on his face. "I thought these guys wouldn't intercept us along the way and would just watch us go to Whole Cake Island."

"Is it the Big Mom Pirates?" Robin understood what Cyrus ant, since they'd discussed whether Big Mom's crew would send people.

"Yes, and it's an acquaintance!" After saying this, Cyrus looked at Issho.

Issho reached into his clothes to feel around before pulling out two coins.

"One thousand Berries." As he spoke, he tossed the two coins over.

Cyrus caught them and examined the thousand Berries in his palm.

"We agreed earlier, it was all the money you have." Cyrus's expression turned peculiar.

"Yes, this is all the money I have left, because the guild leader hasn't given any share of the earnings on this ship," Issho said this as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"I didn't get any either?" Cyrus was taken aback and turned to look at Robin.

"Nope!" Robin shook her head.

"How could that be? Didn't I leave all the matters to you? You're in charge of the money too."

Robin was speechless again.

'Is it really that fun to push the bla like this?'

She gave Cyrus an exasperated look before turning her attention back to Issho.

"I don't mind about that, so just let play for a while whenever we reach a place with a casino," Issho waved his hand.

"That's no problem at all!" Cyrus nodded before looking at Robin. "Later, when looking for islands to dock at, find ones without casinos."

Hearing this, Robin rolled her eyes at Cyrus.

"Since they've sent people, aren't you going to prepare? What if they're here to cause trouble?"

"With Issho taking action, it'll be fine, but rember, this ti Totto Land is to be absorbed. Turning all of Totto Land into a branch would be a good thing for the guild."

"After all, I am the guild leader, so I can't do nothing."

"Taking Totto Land as a branch of the Hunter Guild is sothing Crocodile would probably love to see, and it would benefit the guild's developnt too."
