Jaden has always known how much strength to use and when.
He is very adept at this; otherwise, his power would certainly interfere with his normal life-and he considers controlling his strength not just in daily life, but also in combat.
For example... right now!
Jaden was grasping Ikusaba Mukuro's neck with one hand.
She tried to resist, but it was as futile as when she and her sister went to see Izuru Kamukura; she was utterly powerless.
Looking at Jaden, who had lifted her with just one hand grasping her neck, she vaguely felt that the impression he gave her was even more absolute than the one Izuru Kamukura gave!
But after a short while, Jaden released his grip and dropped her to the floor.
"The fact that you didn't die with that amount of force... honestly, that surprises me a bit. I initially thought you were some kind of pirate or something, but with those skills, you don't seem simple at all."
Jaden didn't kill her.
The core reason was that he had used enough force to choke an ordinary person, and even added a bit more, but she was still alive and even had the strength to resist briefly.
Noticing this, Jaden sized up Ikusaba Mukuro, who was slowly getting up from the ground, and spoke with a smile.
"Though the difference between crushing an ant and crushing a slightly larger ant is not much to me, when I'm in a good mood, I'll take a second look at a slightly larger ant... So, what's your name?"
Ikusaba Mukuro had no intention of resisting Jaden... or rather, the idea of resistance hadn't even arisen in her mind after seeing him.
She had the strength to resist a moment ago but chose not to, silently waiting for death. Now, she certainly wouldn't resist Jaden.
"My name is Ikusaba Mukuro..."
Ikusaba Mukuro actually intended to give a false name and disguise her identity.
But when the words reached her mouth, she unconsciously spoke her real name.
"Ikusaba Mukuro... I see."
Jaden was now dressed-he sat on his bed, legs crossed, observing Ikusaba Mukuro, and slightly narrowed his eyes.
"Though I suspected you weren't a normal pirate, I didn't expect one of the twin sisters referred to as the Ultimate Despair in the Togami Clan's records to suddenly appear before me..."
When Togami Byakuya sought him out, he provided the remaining information on the talented individuals the Togami family still possessed. Ikusaba Mukuro, Enoshima Junko, and Izuru Kamukura were at the top, so even Jaden, who had only glanced at it, had an impression of the three.
"So, what is your objective?"
Jaden's voice was calm, yet his words seemed to carry an irresistible deterrent force. This made Ikusaba Mukuro blink, and then she directly stated her purpose.
"To scout the situation at Dinosaur Island and, incidentally, infiltrate Totsuki to become a spy..."
Jaden wasn't surprised that Ikusaba Mukuro had told him everything so honestly.
After all, the person before him was the Ultimate Soldier; she herself was not weak-precisely because of this, she could feel the deterrent force emanating from his Hanma blood and the Pit template even more acutely!
Not to mention, he had subtly released a bit of Conqueror's Haki.
In other words, what Jaden was doing now was not asking or interrogating, but commanding!
He gave the command, and Ikusaba Mukuro accepted the command-it was that simple.
This technique was useless against those with extremely resolute minds or those who were too strong, but Ikusaba Mukuro satisfied neither of those conditions.
"A spy, huh..."
Jaden said this, and Ikusaba Mukuro slowly closed her eyes.
She felt like her life was over.
Not only had she confronted Jaden directly, but she had also confessed everything about being a spy... After doing so many stupid things, she must surely die now...
Ikusaba Mukuro didn't want to die.
She didn't want to die in any sense of the word.
But the current situation likely wouldn't permit her to live any longer.
In a brief moment, Ikusaba Mukuro saw her entire life flash before her eyes like a revolving lantern. Then, she slightly pursed her lips and didn't dare to open her eyes, like a criminal awaiting judgment.
Then Jaden spoke.
"Since you're a spy, then you should properly carry out your duties as a spy from now on."
Hmm... HMM!?
Ikusaba Mukuro, who had furrowed her brow, suddenly reacted, instantly opened her eyes, and looked at Jaden with confusion.
"Um... what do you mean by that..."
Seeing Ikusaba Mukuro's bewildered look, Jaden smiled.
"Exactly what it means. Since you're a spy, stay here for now and return to Totsuki with me-you don't need to take a hostage or change your name anymore. Just operate openly as a spy under the name Ikusaba Mukuro."
Ah, this...
Even as the Ultimate Soldier, Jaden's attitude exceeded her knowledge base.
She wasn't sure what to do.
She even started explaining things to Jaden.
"Um... but I am a spy, you know. The kind that infiltrates your organization to perform sabotage, gather intelligence, and betray you!"
"I know."
Jaden looked at Ikusaba Mukuro and shrugged.
"That's why I said you should follow me-you know, if you want to gather intelligence about me, this is the best position to be in~"
Eh!?
She could understand every word Jaden said, but put together, it made no sense to her.
"Do you really know... The person you are about to challenge is the God of Humanity..."
"No!"
Ikusaba Mukuro's words were cut short by Jaden.
"You've got that part wrong-it's not me challenging him; it's him challenging me."
"I learned about your so-called God of Humanity from Togami... So, in exchange, you are welcome to take any information about me that you have the capability to gather. I don't care."
Saying this, Jaden slowly stood up, looking down at Ikusaba Mukuro with an unnervingly calm gaze.
"Ultimately, I've never believed that anyone in this world could be my opponent-God of Humanity, that sounds nice. Since you're also getting involved in the Shinomiya family's struggle, then come. Take whatever information you want; let him know whatever he wants to know-because it won't change the outcome."
"I will win. This result was determined the moment you chose to stand in opposition to me."
Therefore...
"During this process, whether you want to gather intelligence or attempt a sneak attack on me, I don't care-why would a lion be concerned about an ant yelling at it... Do your best, Miss Spy~"
