Masa looked at the young woman with light blue hair and uood why Brook wao ask about the color of her panties, but then again, he had to say that her ponytail hairstyle was weird, especially when she even pulled up her bangs, which showed her wide forehead.

  'What a disappointiy...' Masa sighed inwardly.

  "Princess, you 't bow your head like that! You are a princess!"

  The man with a weird hairstyle, Igaram, eared to be the caretaker and bodyguard of the princess, quickly said. As a citizen of the Arabasta Kingdom and someone who cared about the kingdom, social standing, and everything, of course, he couldn't accept his princess bowing her head so low, almost kowtowing to Masa, a young man whose in was unknown.

  Or rather, even if the opposite was a king, Igaram wouldn't allow his prio bow down, especially when the ari family's status was high, and was also part of the 20 kings who fouhe Wover.

  "Igaram, watouth! You knoerless we are, and he is our only hope!"

  "Princess..."

  While Igaram was shocked by her princess' words, he also uood the reality before them.

  Their kingdom was in jeopardy, in the highest crisis, and the royalty was on the verge of being overthrown by the rebellion.

  In this highest of crises, if she, as the princess of this kingdom, couldn't even lower their heads, then who would save them?

  ari Vivi, who rincess, could even infiltrate the enemy's anization, so how could she not beg for help from a powerful person like Masa?

  "We beg you!"

  Naturally, Igaram couldn't watch his princess bow down like that alone, so he even kowtowed, smming his forehead into the ground.

  The two begged with all of their might, showing their desperate attempt, causing Brook, Kureha, and Chopper to feel flicted, but—

  "Brook, Doctor, Chopper, I will go out for a bit."

  "....." 5x

  "Ah, where are you going?" Brook was startled and quickly asked.

  "I will try to go back before dinner. If I am te, then I will go baorrow." Masa didn't even g Vivi and Igaram, pletely ign them, yet he had to say, they were quite funny if he had to say.

  Not only had the two just about to rob his ship previously, then thinking to run away, before they returned once again, asking for his help as if it was the most natural thing to do.

  Masa didn't even bother with the two, feeling they were quite shameless, but then again, who cares about shame if one is so desperate, right?

  Those who were hungry could even gh someorash to pick up food, so why couldn't they beg?

  "I will bring more sweets when I go back ter, Chopper."

  Masa patted Chopper's head, thehe castle, ready to leave for Impel Down.

  "Y-Yes!" Chopper was excited about the sweets.

  Still, Igaram, who saw Masa, had pletely ighem. He was about to raise his head, but Brook touched his shoulder.

  Shaking his head, Brook said, "He might be young, but even if you two are royalty, he won't care mud will kill you." He knew well that Masa could trol all the living beings and anything that one used as a uniethod in any pce if Masa wished to be, so even if Masa killed them, no one would be able to tell, especially when Vivi and Igaram had disguised themselves as pirates.

  "Still, you just robbed our ship, escaped from the prison, and theurned, asking him to help your kingdom."

  Brook felt his face was hot and said, "I might have asked a woman's color of panties, but you two are more shameless than me."

  "...." Vivi and Igaram.

  "You never asked me," Kureha suddenly asked.

  "...."

  Brook eechless and then quickly ran away. "By the way, where are you going? Are you going by ship?"

  "Ah, I go?" Chopper also joined since he had just joined, so he wished to go on the sea with Masa.

  Kureha also followed since she had something to talk about with Masa.

  "Princess..."

  As the three left, Igaram looked at Vivi, who was still bowing down.

  "You leave if you want to, Igaram, but I will stay."

  Vivi khat she was being shameless, but even so, she was at her wits' end.

  Igaram looked at Vivi for a moment, the out a long helpless sigh, also followed her, and tio kowtow even if no one was around.

  If they thought about it clearly, they had to admit that it was all their fault from the beginning, and it erfectly normal for Masa to put them in jail, especially when they were about to steal his ship. However, due to many misuandings, something like this happened, and their impression in his mind must have been worse and worse, so what they could do was just wait.

  As for Dalton?

  The two had pletely fotten about him.

  Oher hand, Masa was outside of the castle, and Brook, Chopper, and Kureha also followed.

  "Ah, you are not going by a ship?"

  "Are you just going around the isnd? Then, do you need my help?"

  When they saw Masa stopped just right outside of the castle, they thought that Masa just po tour around the isnd to search or do something.

  Only, all of a sudden, twelve jet-bck feathered wings grew out from Masa's back.

  "..."

  At that moment, everyone lost their voices, uo believe what they saw.

  "...an angel?"

  "No, a fallen angel?"

  As twelve jet-bck feathered wings emerged from his back, Masa's impression of everyone quickly ged.

  Usually, he was just like a handsome, young noble, gentle, calm, and intellectual, which gave anyone a warm yet reliable feeling to anyone who saw him.

  Yet, all of that was reversed, throhen he had those wings.

  Sexy, magic, charismatic, devilishly handsome, incredibly charming.

  Even if they khat this was wrong and torment was their ending, if Masa somehow seduced them, they knew well that they couldn't refuse and just accepted his advance before being deceived and abandoned, yet even so, they would still long for his embrace, which showed how irresistible his charm was.

  Still, Perona, who loved the gothid horror the most, had love-shaped eyes at this moment, wishing to reach Masa's wings.

  At the same time, his body exuded red, darkish lightning, causing those who were close to moving back subsciously to feel a natural threat, like how a human would hide or run away when thunder was heard.

  "Step back a bit."

  "O-Oh..." 3x

  Masa then looked at Kureha and asked, "What's wrong?" Unlike Brook and Chopper, who just wao follow him, he could tell that Kureha had a different reason for following him.

  "Everyone wishes for you to bee the new king." Kureha quickly woke up, but a trace ret couldn't be hidden from her eyes; wishing to be young, so—

  "Okay."

  "...really?"

  "Yeah."

  " you determihat so easily?"

  "They are all obedient anyway, so it is all good for me."

  "...they are not your sves, you know?"

  Masa only smiled and said, "I think that they will be more than happy to bey sves."

  "....."

  It was unfair for him to show such a smile, Kureha thought, and she also agreed that if Masa showed such a smile, anyone would bee his sve willingly.

  "Let's talk ter. I will go back soon."

  As his wings moved, Masa disappeared, leaving sonis so many times as his visage disappeared, s toward Impel Down.

  "....." 3x

  "Go back as soon as possible!"

  "Okay!"

  Watg him leave, Brook, Chopper, and Kureha let out a helpless sigh, but then where were a, Perona, and Kalifa?
