"One way to find out!" Squalo does not seem concerned at all, which is probably the first warning sign of many.

His expression grows just a hint more serious at the question, though. He may not entertain this topic under normal circumstances, but he's got a drink and alcohol already in his system; what's a better time for philosophy?

"My family can take care of themselves," he says, though not sounding too certain. "And I've never met anyone who couldn't be defeated."

Not necessarily by him, but still.

This does pose a rather big conundrum, though. He'd like to think fairness is still supposed to apply no matter the situation, but if his family was at stake? If Xanxus? No, he'd go at it with everything he has. If he also had time, that is.

Sometimes the best you could hope for was to be a goddamn meat shield.
