"By the way, do you want to escape from prison with me?" Sonic walked up to the door of Who's who 's cell and, seeing that he was also handcuffed and shackled, sleeping on the cold floor, asked with a smile.
"You… you… how did you get out?" Who's who stood up abruptly and looked at Sonic, who was standing outside without any restrictions, with a confused look.
He couldn't understand how this guy could break free from the handcuffs and shackles made from sea stone? After all, under its influence, he himself could only rely on his physical strength and the enhancement from the Zoan Devil Fruit to act like a normal person. But even so, he couldn't find a way to break free from the shackles.
Sonic just smiled, didn't say anything, looked carefully at Who's who sitting on the cold floor, and slowly said: " I plan to go to sea to seek freedom. Will you stay here and wait until you are sent to the impel down , or will you choose to escape with me?"
Hearing this, whos who stared into Xia Luoke's eyes with a complicated expression. After a few seconds of silence, he asked quietly, "Have you already decided… to betray the World Government?"
Sonic took a few steps back, crossed his arms over his chest, and calmly replied, " I don't intend to waste my life on the wrath of those in power."
- Hmm...
Who's who face became firm, he exhaled and seemed to have made some kind of decision.
"It seems like you've already made up your mind… Do you want to come along with me in the future?" Sonic smiled as if he saw Who's who heart, and couldn't help but ask.
"If I don't agree to join you, you won't let me go?" Who's who stood up slowly, his face gloomy. The shackles on his hands and feet jingled.
Almost all of the CP9 members were orphans raised by people sent by the World Government, so to him, it was the same as family. Betraying the World Government meant betraying his home. In addition, there were many other comrades in his "home". Even the cold agents had their own personal connections and attachments, which caused him to hesitate.
But unfortunately, the "elders" in his "family" abandoned him and decided to lock him up. This was something Who's who could not accept.
Therefore, under the influence of anxiety, he still decided to accept Xia Luoke's offer.
"I don't intend to force you…" Sonic smiled and shook his head, saying casually: "Even if we separate after escaping, I will respect your choice, Who's who!"
Although he wanted Who's who to be his future companion, he was not so low as to blackmail him.
After all, saber-toothed tigers are still tigers. If they hadn't met the "Blue Dragon", they would never have been tamed. Sonic knew that he himself was still just a "marten" who had escaped from prison, and had not yet become an influential figure.
So Who's who resistance was understandable. He did not want the usual equal relationship to turn into subordination.
"Since you understand that..." Who's who raised his head arrogantly and snorted. But then he hesitated for a second and added awkwardly: "I owe you a favor. In the future, I'll do something for you for free!"
"Your words are enough!" Sonic smiled broadly, then reached out, took the oil lamp from the wall, and threw it on the floor. Then he broke off the iron hook on which the lamp was hanging and threw it to Who's who in the cell.
- you haven't forgotten how to open locks, have you?
- Did you do it yourself?
- It's a secret!
- Eh...
Who's who caught the iron hook, inserted its thin end into the keyhole of the handcuffs and, after fiddling for a few moments, opened them with a light click.
Seeing this, he happily rubbed his numb wrists, then sat down on the floor and freed himself from the shackles in the same way.
Now he was completely free from shackles.
"Step aside!" Who's who stretched with a hard smile, stretching his stiff body.
As Sonic walked into the corridor, the two fangs in Who's who mouth extended, and his body suddenly grew larger and more powerful, turning into a human-saber-toothed tiger, half-human, half-beast.
The next moment he took a step forward and struck boldly.
There was a loud "boom" - thick smoke and dust instantly filled the air, and a powerful force deformed and tore out the steel gate grille, sending it crashing into the opposite oak wall.
"Hey hey hey~" Sonic said with a slight smile. "I'll tell you straight, you're being too rude. It's obvious that you're really angry."
"Yes, I'm damn angry... very angry!" Who's who emerged from the prison with a cruel smile. His sharp fangs were bared, and hot, foul breath came out of his mouth.
- What was that?
- Explosion?
- Let's go and see!
The noise woke up several sailors on duty outside. They grabbed their weapons and rushed out of their rooms into the corridor. There they saw the prisoner who should have been in the cell standing across from them, and a twisted steel grate embedded in the thick wall. Then a half-man, half-beast slowly walked out of the prison.
- Strange, monster...
- Monster!!
- The monster has escaped!
The marines, who had never seen a Zoan Devil Fruit power, mistook Who's who in his beast form for a real monster and screamed in terror. At that moment, someone rang the alarm bell.
The sharp "ding-ding" sound quickly spread from the lower deck to the middle deck and then to the upper deck, covering the entire prison ship in a matter of seconds.
Who's who turned his head sharply, his cold gaze directed at the sailors, who froze, not knowing what to do.
Suddenly the marines felt their hearts squeezed by an invisible hand, and an inexplicable fear flared up in their chests. Their faces were distorted with horror. They wanted to run, but their bodies seemed to have turned to stone, as if they were frozen in place.
- Shave! - Who's who suddenly disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was standing right in front of the sailors, as if he had appeared out of nowhere.
- What? - but before they could react, Who's who figure flashed like a ghost and flew between the marines
At the same time, he swung his arms like lightning, using "Six Styles Pistol Punch" with both hands at the same time. His sharp claws, like blades, pierced the hearts of six marines in a second.
