"So they don't want me and my father anymore?" is what Dina said to Baioretto while the two walked along the docks. Baioretto with his usual smirk couldn't resist to mess with her for a bit "Not entirely.." said the former assassin and that's when the look of panic appeared on Dina to which Baioretto quickly noticed "No, no I'm joking! They said you and your father are safe!" to which Dina grew furious and started chasing Baioretto along the docks for a good ten minutes. "You fool! this wasn't funny! this is my life you're joking about!" she exclaimed all the while Baioretto ran with a smile on his face because he knew this angry was from joy. When he finally let Dina catch him she tackled him and began to claw at him repeatedly "Slow down you animal" said Baioretto as he managed to escape her grasp and stand on his feet. That's when the face of happiness turned to that of despair for Dina, "What's wrong?" asked Baioretto. The girl started to look at the sky "If you aren't working for the Red Lotus anymore.. and my family is safe.. what will you do?" asked Dina.
Baioretto smiled, which is when Dina looked back down and noticed now he was looking up to the skies. "Well.. I always wanted to see the world ya know? See what makes people go so crazy over being free." said Baioretto which caused Dina to hug him. "Just promise, you'll be safe and come back when you can!" she said while hugging Baioretto as tight as she could. "Deal" said Baioretto as he embraced Dina with a hug of his own. It was then a whistling noise came within striking distance, looking to his left Baioretto saw Cudo and immediately broke the hug with Dina with a glowing red cheeks. "Come with me for a second kid." said Cudo as he took Baioretto to his personal office and sat him down. It was truly grand what he did here with all the coating and how ships turned out when they were done, to think someday Baioretto himself would be getting this done for his own ship. "This world, it's harsh kid.. And after you killed a ranked marine official.. and a crime lord in the same, you'll infamy will grow and overtime it will grow more.." Baioretto wasn't entirely sure what Cudo was getting at. The coater stood and walked grabbing a chest off another counter in his study, placing it on the desk between him and Baioretto, "Take this, Baioretto. I think it'll do you more justice than it would do myself." said Cudo. It was a yellow devil fruit, large and rare as they always were. "T-thank you Cudo.." said Baioretto as he took the chest after having a heart to heart with Cudo that is. Leaving Barings Coating Company Baioretto looked back at Cudo and Dina waving goodbye to him before he set off with his chest.
The End.
