"Invite to join you?"
That answer completely exceeded Frank's expectations.
"That's right. We saw the news—they say you're a mutant.
And right now, you're clearly in trouble. Erik believes you could use our help."
Toad briefly explained.
Before Frank could respond, Qin Xiao cut in calmly:
"No. You're already struggling yourselves. I don't see how you can offer any real help."
Toad frowned and looked at him.
"And who are you? Another mutant?"
Before Qin Xiao could speak, Frank answered instead.
"No. We're not mutants—we're Devil Fruit users.
I don't know who this 'Erik' is, but the fact you haven't even figured out what I am tells enough—you're not very reliable.
This is Qin—an envoy of the Eastern Devil.
He creates ability users through Devil Fruits.
And ? I'm just one of them."
Frank's tone carried clear disappointnt.
Toad and Sabretooth were obviously animal-type mutants.
Yet they knew nothing about him—
blindly trusting what the dia said.
Calling him a mutant was just a way to stir conflict between humans and mutants.
"Devil's envoy…? You're that Devil's envoy?!"
Toad's expression changed instantly.
"So you've heard of . Though I don't recall doing anything worth your attention."
Toad let out a cold laugh.
"For the past few months, rumors about you have been everywhere.
An Eastern Devil invading the West—do you think we'd ignore that?
That's not just a rumor. That's a potential war between devils.
One mistake, and everyone could get dragged into it.
Even if nothing's happened yet, we've been preparing.
Still… I didn't expect the so-called envoy to be…"
He looked Qin Xiao up and down, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"…just so unremarkable Eastern guy."
Too ordinary.
Far too ordinary.
Nothing like the terrifying image they had imagined.
Qin Xiao smiled faintly.
"Unremarkable? Maybe.
But you'll find out soon enough… who really isn't worth noticing."
Sothing in his tone made Toad uneasy.
Even Sabretooth beside him grew visibly restless.
"What do you an?"
Qin Xiao's gaze sharpened.
"You didn't think we dragged you into this space just to chat, did you?
Since you're here—
you might as well spar with Frank.
Let's see which is stronger—mutant abilities…
or Devil Fruit powers.
And perhaps… you'll help spread the na of Devil Fruit users."
Frank stepped forward imdiately.
As he moved, his body rippled—
like liquid.
A dagger ford in his hand.
He didn't know their exact abilities.
And he didn't intend to kill them.
So he chose a close-range weapon.
Just enough.
"Let see what you two can do."
The dagger spun in his fingers.
Behind him, Qin Xiao spoke calmly:
"No need to hold back.
Sabretooth has powerful regeneration—and animal-like combat instincts.
Toad has incredible jumping ability, and his tongue can extend.
Their nas… reflect their powers."
That single sentence made both mutants tense.
"You know our abilities?"
Qin Xiao gave a faint smile.
"As a devil's envoy, do you really think I'd walk in blind?
If I've been spreading rumors for months—
don't you think I've prepared?"
It was, once again, information asymtry at work.
Of course he knew—he'd seen it all before.
But to them—
it felt like sothing far more ominous.
Qin Xiao's danger level in their minds shot up instantly.
Frank, on the other hand, relaxed.
Regeneration?
Good.
That ant he didn't need to hold back anymore.
The dagger spun once more—
and in his other hand, a submachine gun materialized.
He raised it, eyes locking onto his target.
"Sabretooth, huh?
Let's see what you've got."
