"Master, you're back!"
"Master, did you get the Ripe-Ripe Fruit?"
As soon as Yami returned, Carina and Nami, who had been waiting on deck, crowded around.
Shirahoshi, who was also on deck, cast an expectant gaze.
"Mm, I've eaten that ability."
Yami smiled and nodded, "Wait for me to get familiar with the ability, then I can mature your bodies."
"Do you need my help?" Carina and Nami quickly asked.
"No need. I'll just grab something random to familiarize myself with the maturing speed."
Yami shook his head, then used his Fuwa Fuwa no Mi ability to control an orange tree, flying it down from the cabin's rooftop terrace.
Immediately, Yami plucked an orange, then used the Ripe-Ripe Fruit's maturing ability.
Under the gazes of Carina and the girls, the slightly greenish orange peel was instantly replaced by a mature orange color, and its volume became fuller.
But quickly, the orange, which was like a man in his prime, slowly became shriveled, as if it had lost all its moisture.
From ripening to aging, the orange only took a few seconds.
"What... what an amazing ability!"
Carina, who saw this, immediately recognized the terrifying nature of this ability and couldn't help but exclaim: "If this maturing ability also works on people... doesn't that mean, if they don't have Haki to defend, Master only needs to grab someone to age their body to the senile stage, directly stripping them of most of their lifespan, irreversibly?"
"Hiss... This ability, aside from not being able to take the lifespan for oneself, is practically a weakened version of the Mythical Zoan, Vampire model." Nami also sucked in a cold breath.
"Mm, the Paramecia-type Ripe-Ripe Fruit is indeed like Hancock's and Perona's abilities; it belongs to the 'rule-based' category."
Yami matured another orange to old age, then smiled: "Alright, I've mastered this maturing ability. Who's first?"
"Me first, me first."
Carina was the first to raise her hand, full of confidence in Yami.
"Let's change locations. Your current clothes might not fit later."
Yami didn't act immediately. Considering the possible scene, he said to Carina and Nami: "Go change into Robin's or Hancock's clothes, and put a special bath towel on Shirahoshi. Wait for me at the multipurpose sports court."
"Mhm, mhm."
Carina and Nami nodded repeatedly, then took Shirahoshi to change.
While the three girls went to change, Yami went to find Robin.
Hearing Yami had taken a fancy to a three-year-old girl and wanted to take her in and send her to Amazon Lily to be raised, Robin was slightly stunned, then asked: "BOSS, will the girl's parents agree?"
"Her parents are dead. The villagers are taking care of her now."
Yami explained, then said: "I don't want to leave her with too much psychological trauma, so I didn't just take her away. My idea is to have you and Carina dress up as a wealthy family from that area and personally adopt the child, and give some money to the village."
"I understand. Leave it to me."
Looking at Yami, who was still as gentle and considerate as ever, Robin smiled and nodded.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Yami leaned in and kissed Robin's cheek.
"Master, I want one too."
Just as they separated, Hancock's voice sounded in Yami's ear.
Looking at this innocent goddess who thought kissing on the cheek was a maid's privilege, Yami didn't show favoritism and kissed her too, which immediately made Hancock so excited she almost fainted.
Seeing Hancock's defenses were so low, Yami felt he needed to wait a bit longer before he could 'eat' this World's Most Beautiful Woman.
"Master, I'm ready."
At this moment, Carina's voice, via her sound wave ability, entered Yami's ear.
Thus, Yami teleported to the multipurpose sports court.
He saw Carina and Nami had both changed into Robin's and Hancock's maid outfits, which looked very loose.
It couldn't be helped. Hancock and Robin were just too big. Carina and Nami, who were only fifteen this year, were only slightly better than flat-chested.
As for Shirahoshi, she was wrapped in a special bath towel, covering almost her entire body, except for her shoulders.
Before transforming, Shirahoshi's fishtail was like a built-in pair of pants.
After transforming, she would be like a normal giant girl...
Not just tops, but skirts and pants would also need to be custom-made for her in the future.
"Take off the Pure Gold ring, then give me your hand."
Yami sized up the three girls, then extended his palm to Carina.
Carina obediently took off her ring, handed it to Nami who was beside her, then stood in front of Yami and placed her hand in his palm.
Holding Carina's slender, jade-like hand, Yami's expression became serious, and he began to use the Ripe-Ripe Fruit's maturing ability.
In an instant, a dense white mist suddenly emanated from Carina's body.
The mist enveloped Carina, making it impossible to see her current appearance.
But Shirahoshi, with her natural Observation Haki, and Nami, with her top-tier Observation Haki, could sense the presence fluctuations within the white mist, which were slowly growing larger.
After a moment, Yami released Carina's hand. With a gentle wave, the white mist immediately dispersed.
Carina, at this moment, had completely transformed.
The fifteen-year-old Carina, although she had shed her childishness early due to the Mythical Zoan Nine-Tailed Fox fruit and her hard training...
...her face and figure, however, were still filled with youthful traces, clearly underage.
Now, Carina's youthful aura had turned into a young woman's youthful vigor. Her normal height, by visual estimation, was definitely over 1.8 meters, surpassing her original story's twenty-year-old height.
Her originally shoulder-length purple hair now grew down to her hips.
But the biggest change was her "conscience," which had only been slightly better than flat. It had grown to an F-cup.
Unfortunately, this cup size was still separated from Hancock's and Robin's H-cup by a J.
Thus, Hancock's clothes still looked a bit loose on Carina.
It couldn't be helped. Hancock and Robin were mature "big sisters" in their twenties. Carina was only eighteen now.
"Me at eighteen?"
Carina looked down at her new body, clenched her pink fist, and felt the power, which was much greater than before. She couldn't help but say excitedly: "Not just my stamina and strength, I feel like my Haki capacity has also skyrocketed. If I enter my Beast form, my size will definitely be much larger than before."
