Three Questions for You!
"What are you talking about?" Violet rolled her eyes at her and said impatiently, "If Chris had really teamed up with Doflamingo, they would have attacked us directly. Why would they warn us that they'd arrive in ten minutes?"
"Besides, I trust Bakala's character. She wouldn't lie to us."
After hearing Violet's words, Rebecca let out an "Oh," her eyes lighting up as she suddenly understood. She patted her chest, relieved, and smiled sweetly. "Then I'm at ease. Thank goodness."
"But what did Bakala mean by 'arriving within ten minutes'?"
King Riku frowned, his expression serious. "There must be something wrong here. Maybe we've already been exposed."
"Chris and Doflamingo might already be on their way here."
"To ensure absolute safety, we should leave this place for now. If nothing unusual happens later, we can always come back."
Violet quickly waved her hands, speaking urgently, "Father, there's no need to retreat in such a panic."
"Have you forgotten my ability? I can see everything within a 4,000-kilometer radius. Any movement, and I'll detect it immediately."
"I'll go out and check the situation now. As long as Doflamingo is still at the Royal Plateau, it means we haven't been exposed and are completely safe."
Rebecca's eyes sparkled, her delicate and pretty face blooming into a sweet, charming smile as she said excitedly,
"Oh, right! Auntie's Devil Fruit ability is super powerful!"
"Not only can she see through people's hearts, but she can also observe situations thousands of kilometers away. With this, we practically have an invincible advantage!"
King Riku also came to his senses, nodding with a relieved smile. "Violet's ability is indeed incredibly powerful."
"It's perfect for scouting enemy movements."
"Alright, in that case, go out and take a look. If you find anything unusual, come back and report immediately. Don't delay."
Violet didn't believe for a second that Chris would do such a thing, but since King Riku insisted, she had no choice but to go out and check.
She brushed aside the hair on her forehead, smiling helplessly. "Fine, I got it."
"Stay here and relax. There's nothing to worry about."
"I'll just take a quick look and come right back. We can talk more then."
After saying that, she slowly stood up and walked gracefully toward the door.
Suddenly, a calm voice echoed through the room.
"Violet, you didn't give me the map. Did you forget?"
Whoosh—Chris's figure suddenly appeared at the door.
Shock.
Absolute shock.
The air instantly froze. The room fell dead silent.
The three of them were completely stunned, staring blankly, unable to react.
The young man at the door had his hands in his pockets, dressed in black from head to toe, standing about 188 cm tall.
His demeanor was calm and reserved, exuding the aura of a powerful figure, mysterious and imposing.
"You…" Rebecca pointed at Chris, her beautiful eyes wide, her delicate face filled with shock as she stammered,
"You… you're Chris…?"
Violet also snapped out of her daze, her eyes widening to their limits, her elegant face showing utter disbelief as she murmured,
"What… what's going on…?"
King Riku straightened in his seat, his weathered face equally shocked, unable to believe what he was seeing as he asked,
"How did you appear here?"
"And how did you know about this place?"
"This is my revolutionary base. No outsider knows about it. How could you possibly…?"
The shock was too much. King Riku, an old man, couldn't stay calm, firing off question after question.
Chris glanced at the three of them, his expression as calm as ever. "Didn't Bakala tell you just now? I'd arrive here within ten minutes."
The three exchanged glances, seeing the same astonishment in each other's eyes.
This was beyond unbelievable.
Their minds were still spinning, dizzy from the sheer impossibility of it all. Chris had completely overturned their understanding.
"Wait…" Violet rubbed her smooth forehead, feeling like her brain was short-circuiting. Her refined, elegant face showed pure confusion as she quickly asked,
"Lord Chris, let me ask one question at a time. Could you please answer them?"
Violet looked at Chris, shaking her head with a bitter smile. "The three of us are completely lost right now. We're totally baffled."
Rebecca nodded vigorously, like a little chick pecking at rice, hastily adding, "Yeah, yeah! I don't even know what to say right now."
"My emotions are all over the place. I can't even describe it—just shocked, I guess."
King Riku, being more experienced, gradually steadied himself. Calming down, he furrowed his brows and asked solemnly,
"Let me ask first—Lord Chris, how did you know about this place?"
He was wise with age and understood one truth deeply:
When someone humbles themselves before another, they must have a purpose!
Since they were seeking Chris's help, they needed to be sincere and show proper respect.
This had nothing to do with age—it was simply acknowledging the strong.
Rebecca and Violet both nodded in unison, their beautiful eyes fixed intently on this mysterious man, waiting for his answer.
"I know far more than you can imagine," Chris said, his hands still in his pockets, his tone indifferent.
"When your strength reaches a certain level, you'll understand the answer."
"Considering the map, I'll answer two more questions for you. Think carefully before asking."
The three exchanged glances again. They were starting to see it now.
This Chris was indeed as cold and aloof as rumored—not a single wasted word, utterly expressionless.
He gave off an icy, emotionless vibe!
"You two ask the questions. That way, each of you gets one turn." King Riku leaned back in his chair, rubbing his forehead. He needed time to recover.
He was old—he couldn't handle such emotional turmoil. It was better to leave the questioning to the younger ones.
Violet and Rebecca locked eyes, their pretty faces filled with hesitation.
Violet blinked her beautiful eyes, smiling gently and gracefully. "I'll go first. You can ask your question afterward."
"Okay! I need time to think of what to ask anyway," Rebecca replied softly, nodding. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity, her smile sweet and lovely.
Violet turned to the powerful young man, furrowing her slender brows. Her flawless face was full of confusion as she asked,
"Lord Chris, were you really in the East Blue just now?"
Chris remained expressionless, as calm as ever, answering directly, "Yes. I just came here from the East Blue."
Boom—
The three were utterly stunned once again.
What did Chris mean by that?
He was in the East Blue just moments ago, and in less than ten minutes, he had arrived at Dressrosa in the New World?
How was that possible?!
The distance between the East Blue and the New World was enormous.
The three of them were at a complete loss for words, all staring dumbfounded at Chris, as if their souls had left their bodies.
The room was so silent you could hear a pin drop.
