236 Slippery Play

Show less"Smoker..." 

Tashigi, whose shape had been transformed into Masa's shape, could only sigh helplessly, thinking that her former boss really never changed. Still, instead of caring, she thought that Smoker was really an idiot, wondering why Smoker decided to become a pirate rather than remain as a Marine. 

Moreover, when she saw the destruction that was caused by Smoker on the base of the Loguetown, she couldn't help but frown, wondering whether all of her former comrades were okay. 

"It is great that you took his Devil Fruit." 

"....." 

Masa was in silence, watching Tashigi, who had appeared to lose her interest in Smoker and even so chummy toward him. 

Was he so damn charming that he could do all of this? 

Did the memory between them mean nothing to Tashigi? 

Yet, it was all good, Masa thought, but then again, while Tashigi could forget about Smoker, it might be different for Smoker. 

"As expected, this guy is dangerous." 

"Isn't he like a World Noble?" 

"Hmph! That trash is nothing in front of Masa!" 

"Now, you mention it." 

"Yes, even if the World Noble is powerful, they can't tame a wild woman into an obedient pet." 

"....." Masa and Tashigi. 

While Tashigi lowered her head shyly, Masa was speechless. "Stop talking about something stupid. Also, Carina, can you take out those Devil Fruits?" 

"Okay, okay. I have been curious about those Devil Fruits." 

"Wait! Did you get another Devil Fruit?" 

"...why was it so easy for you to get them?" 

"Luck." 

"...." 5x

Yet, even so, Masa's luck was ridiculous since when Masa decided to come to the East Blue, he got three Devil Fruits directly. 

Still, after they had finished their trip in Loguetown, all of them quickly went on the sail to complete Carina's request, which was to help the home of her former rival, who was being haunted by the frightening pirate group, so this rival of hers had to steal many treasures to save her village. 

Hearing that, as a good man, Masa decided to help Carina's friend, but of course, Carina knew well what kind of a bad idea that this guy had. Regardless, she was calm after all, her former rival wasn't that beautiful, and her fruits weren't that huge; probably, this rival of hers wasn't Masa's type. 

Moreover, when Carina thought of her former rival's rustic and dirty appearence, and when that rival was compared to all the women by Masa's side—

"Hmm?" 

Tashigi tilted her head, feeling confused as to why Carina looked at her that way. 

"....." Carina. 

Still sailing on his large ship, which Masa had newly created by using the Gasha Gasha no Mi, Carina took out the three Devil Fruits that were taken by Masa. 

"There are really three of them..." 

"What fruits are they?" 

Unlike the others, who had their fun on the ship, Vivi couldn't have much fun, especially when somehow, she was excluded by many since they were threatened by her existence, considering she was a real princess and all, so while her stay on this ship was good and all since she could spend many of its facilities in enjoyment, she couldn't help but feel a little bored, especially when she couldn't have that "fun" that the four women had with Masa. 

So, when Vivi saw the three Devil Fruits on the table, she couldn't help but ask. 

"Do you want to eat one of them?" 

"Er..." 

Vivi was startled by Masa's question, but Masa said, "You can give me money later." 

"...sorry, I don't have money." 

When Vivi thought of the debt that she had with Masa, she quickly lowered her head. 

'But if it's needed, I can pay with something else!' 

Vivi suddenly got a good idea, which made Carina, Perona, Kalifa, and even Tashigi realize this princess was far from simple. 

"Well, those three are Sube Sube no Mi, Bari Bari no Mi, and Moku Moku no Mi." 

"Wait, Moku Moku no Mi? Isn't that the Devil Fruit eaten by the captain of Marines that attacked you before?" 

While Vivi and Tashigi were dumbfounded, Carina, Perona, and Kalifa weren't that surprised at why the Moku Moku no Mi appeared on Masa's hands, but then again, it was normal, right? 

After all, did Smoker think that Masa's pettiness was just that? 

Regardless, compared to the Moku Moku no Mi, they were more interested in Sube Sube no Mi and Bari Bari no Mi. 

"What is the use of Sube Sube no Mi and Bari Bari no Mi, Masa?" 

"Well, the Sube Sube no Mi is a Devil Fruit that allows one to become a slippery human." 

"Slippery human?" 

Still, due to the sudden change of topic, Vivi felt bitter, realizing that she wasn't recognized within the group. 

As for Tashigi, she was calm since she knew Masa would explain it to her later. 

"What's the use of being a slippery human?" 

Regardless, Carina, Perona, Kalifa, Vivi, and Tashigi wondered what a slippery human would do. 

"Hm... all the attacks will be meaningless since all of them will slip off you." 

"....." Everyone.

"You will become more beautiful as all the defects on your body, flecks, pimples, and many others are also going to slip from your body." 

"...." Everyone. 

"While I haven't confirmed it, this fruit can also cause all of your fat to slip off, so you will be okay to eat as much as you want." 

"..." Everyone. 

Wasn't this the ultimate Devil Fruit for a woman?! 

All of them were female, so of course, they were interested in being more beautiful. 

Still, while Carina, Perona, and Kalifa had eaten a Devil Fruit, Vivi and Tashigi hadn't eaten the Devil Fruit, so... somehow, they were quite interested in this Devil Fruit. 

"Tashigi, if you want, you can eat this Devil Fruit, you know?" 

"Eh? Me?" Tashigi was startled by Masa's sudden offer. 

"Yes, if you eat this Devil Fruit, your speed will increase and you can make your slash faster." 

In terms of strength, Tashigi might be weaker than a man, but what about speed? 

Moreover, due to her diligence in training, unlike the other women, whose skin was smooth, her skin was a little rough, especially her palms, as she often trained by swinging her sword. 

At the same time, Masa knew that by eating this slipper fruit, Tashigi would become more powerful as she could erase all the friction around her and her sword, which made her attack faster. 

Or rather, by eating this Devil Fruit, it was possible for her to manipulate friction, one of the most important aspects within physical force in the physics. 

Still, considering Tashigi's goal was to become the best female swordmaster, Masa thought that she would refuse but—

"Ugh..." 

Tashigi wanted to puke, but she ate all the Devil Fruit whole without wasting a single part. 

"...amazing." 

Unlike Persona, it was without a doubt Tashigi's will was stronger than anyone, and soon, she ate this "Sube Sube no Mi," and as expected, her skin became so smooth and she became much more beautiful, causing all the females to become envious. 

"...can you make a replicate of this Devil Fruit, Masa-sama?" Kalifa whispered while begging. 

"Let's talk about that later." 

Yet, Tashigi, who got this Devil Fruit for the first time slipped then fell into Masa's arms.

"Ah!" 

"Be careful." 

"Um~!" 

Tashigi was all shy, but her smile was so bright, thinking that she was no longer inferior to Carina, Perona, Kalifa, and Vivi. 

Still, while feeling the smoothness of Tashigi's skin, Masa watched at how Tashigi had become more beautiful as she showed a bashful smile, yet with a hint of desire in her eyes.

'Let's go to the room!' 

As Masa thought of getting herto his room, thinking of playing a slippery game, his cats suddenly notified him. 

"Masa-sama, there is a pirate ship, nyaa~!" 

"Hmm?" Masa was in a doubt, wondering which pirate group it was, especially when in the East Blue had a limited number of Pirate, but then again, when he thought to tell his cats to just blast them, he said, "Let me check it for a while." 

"Hmm?" 

As he looked at the pirate ship that appeared before him, his expression became of that of a weird. 

Especially—

"Help~! I need a help~! I was caught by a pirate~!" 

Watching an orange short haired girl, who dressed sexily as she screamed meekly asking for a help from the pirate ship, Masa wondered what was wrong with his luck.
