After spending three months with Reno, Carmel thought she knew him very well.
But the Reno in front of her was completely different from the Reno in her impression.
Especially the look in Reno's eyes when he looked at her, which gave her a chill.
Only then did she truly realize that the look in the Sheep's House was not an illusion.
Carmel forced a smile on her face: "Reno, what happened?"
"Where is the gift you prepared for Linlin? Why didn't I see it?"
As she spoke, she distanced herself from Reno.
Pandora, who realized that something was wrong, also flew out and surrounded Carmel.
"Hehehehehe....Carmel, are you still pretending at this point?"
"There are only two of us here. As long as you kill me, Linlin will be an orphan. At that time, you can sell her to the World Government, right?"
"With Linlin's talent, the money you get is enough for you to live out your life."
Reno slowly approached Carmel, and every word he said made Carmel's hair stand up.
"How... how did you know?"
Carmel, who was exposed, was horrified and looked at Reno in disbelief.
These were her secrets, and no one knew them except her.
How did Reno know?!!
"It feels incredible, right?"
"If it weren't for you, those children wouldn't have become tools of the World Government!"
"You damn scum!!"
At this time, Reno didn't have the shadow of a child at all. His every move seemed like an adult with a scheming mind.
"You... you already knew it!"
Carmel realized it late and finally understood that this was Reno's conspiracy, "So you deliberately led me here today, right?"
"You are really a scheming little devil, but..."
Carmel's steps suddenly stopped and she stood still.
The next second, the gentle smile on her face disappeared, and there was only a face full of cruelty.
"Hahahahahahahaha... Reno, even if you know it, what can you do?"
"If Linlin is by your side, maybe I will be a little bit afraid, but look around, there are only two of us here."
"Since you know my secret, what do you think I should do?"
Carmel, with a ferocious face, looked like a demon at this time. Sensing the murderous intent emanating from her, Pandora's whole body surged, and hot flames emerged from her body.
"Don't worry, after I kill you, I will sell Linlin for a good price."
"Pandora, kill him!!"
At Carmel's command, the little sun Pandora's mouth moved, and a ball of hot flames spewed out and flew towards Reno.
Just when she thought Pandora's attack could easily kill Reno, Reno stretched out his right hand and grabbed the flame directly in his hand.
With a light squeeze, the flame exploded in his hand, turning into countless sparks that dissipated in the air.
Reno's hand holding the flame was not hurt at all.
"Such a heaven-defying Devil Fruit has been developed by you into this state. I think you've really lived like a dog for so many years."
"This... How is this possible?!!"
If Reno's performance just now only surprised her a little, then now—
She really felt a chill rushing from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
"Pandora, increase the firepower, burn him to death for me!!!"
Caramel, who couldn't believe what she saw, gritted her teeth and roared loudly.
"Yes, Mom!!" Feeling the killing intent from Carmel, Pandora let out a roar, her hair stood on end, and the flames were many times stronger than before.
"Die!!!"
Pandora, who turned into a Great Fireball, rushed directly towards Reno.
"Boy, I'll see if you can survive this time!!"
Carmel, who had full confidence in Pandora, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This level of flame was enough to burn Reno to ashes.
Even at a distance, Reno felt a high temperature coming at him.
"Carmel, you don't deserve this Devil Fruit."
While he speaking, Pandora had already arrived in front of him, but before it could react—
A dark hand stretched out and grabbed it directly in its hand.
"Let... let me go!!!"
The squeezing force from her body made Pandora's face distorted, and she struggled to get out of Reno's control, with small flames flying everywhere.
"Mom, save me!!"
"Save you?? Your mom can't even save herself, and you're still counting on her?!"
Bang
The moment the words fell, Reno exerted his strength and crushed Pandora alive.
The flames slowly extinguished in Reno's hands, as if Carmel's life was in a countdown.
"You... you know Armament Haki?!!"
"Are you pretending?!!"
Even if Carmel was stupid, she understood.
Reno not only saw through her conspiracy a long time ago, but also hid his strength from beginning to end.
"Isn't it too late to realize it now?"
With a smile on his face, Reno approached Carmel again.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you that my talent is comparable to Linlin's."
"My strength is stronger than Linlin's!!"
"You... Reno, no, don't kill me!!"
The terrified Carmel accidentally tripped over a branch.
"Reno, I promise you, as long as you let me go, I will never do this again."
"I will not sell these children to the World Government, please let me go."
The strong desire to survive made Carmel kneel in front of Reno and beg without any dignity.
Stronger than Linlin, she is no match even if she tries her best.
"It's too late to say this now, you should go to hell and confess to the children you sold!!!"
"Half Burial!!!"
