After entering Uno's room, Kaya was visibly embarrassed.
Uno smiled at Kaya's appearance and left the door of the room half-open but not closed.
This action relaxed Kaya's tense body a lot.
"So, Kaya, what do you want from me?"
Uno sat down opposite Kaya and smiled gently.
"Um, Uno, don't you want to eat?"
Although Kaya was not that nervous, she still used the topic of food to ease her inner anxiety.
"Eat, of course."
Uno didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Although Uno was not hungry at the moment, he could not let Kaya down. With his superhuman physique (deep purple), it would not be a big problem to eat one more meal. At most, he would just need to take a little longer to digest.
Watching Uno eating the food she brought, Kaya's eyes narrowed with a smile.
"Thank you for the treat."
After eating all the food, Uno also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the Superman physique (dark purple) has amazing digestive ability, it still takes time to digest.
Especially including Usopp's treat today, Uno ate three meals in a row, especially the last meal. Originally, Uno ate enough food for Superman's physique (deep purple) to digest and absorb tonight.
Uno's stomach capacity is limited, and after this midnight snack, Uno ate a little too much.
"Uno, you guys are leaving here tomorrow, right?"
Kaya finally adjusted her mood after such a long time, and when she saw Uno finished eating, she asked.
"Well, we need to continue heading towards the Grand Line."
Uno laughed.
"Grand Line, what's there?"
Kaya looked longing.
She has been weak and sickly since childhood. Not to mention going to the sea; even walking normally is very difficult for her.
"There, the geomagnetic field, celestial phenomena, ocean currents, and air currents are all in chaos. It's difficult to even determine your location.
There are islands with ice and snow all year round, and there are also islands with thunderstorms all year round.
In the sky, there is Sky Island...."
Uno looked at the longing on Kaya's face, smiled slightly, and slowly narrated everything about the Grand Line.
In East Blue, few people know the Grand Line better than Uno, who knows the plot.
Of course, Uno has not experienced all of these in person yet and is looking forward to the upcoming Grand Line trip.
Hearing Uno's vivid description, Kaya exclaimed in amazement from time to time.
Unlike Usopp's obvious bragging, Kaya could feel that what Uno said was true. This was a girl's intuition.
"It's incredible. The sea is so vast."
Kaya looked out the window. Although it was a little late, she could still faintly see the waves of the sea in the distance. Her pretty face was full of longing.
"It's a pity that I can't go to the sea."
Kaya's pretty face was full of regret.
Kaya's weak body and delicate look on her pretty face, coupled with her expression full of regret, made her look even more pitiful.
"It's not like there's no chance."
Uno looked at Kaya's appearance and said softly.
"Why?!"
Kaya looked at Uno, and her eyes suddenly widened.
"But, let alone going to the sea, it's very difficult for me to even walk a long way."
Kaya looked at her thin body and pursed her red lips.
"The secret treasure of the sea, Devil Fruit, Kaya, do you know?"
Uno spoke slowly.
"Devil Fruit? Isn't that something that only exists in legends?"
Kaya blinked.
"Luffy ate the Devil Fruit. If you eat a Zoan Devil Fruit, your body will be restored to health."
Uno laughed.
Kaya's condition is actually due to her congenital physical weakness, which makes her weak and sickly. This situation is different from Trafalgar Law's situation of eating the Op-Op Fruit to treat Perkins disease.
All Kaya needs is one Zoan Devil Fruit, which can strengthen the body, to make her healthy.
Although in East Blue, even Zoan's Devil Fruit is almost unavailable, in Grand Line, Zoan's Devil Fruit is worthless.
For Uno, getting a Zoan Devil Fruit is even easier.
Uno, who has the strongest entry system, can turn Devil Fruit into an entry and then plunder it, and the entry of Devil Fruit can give it to others.
Just like Blackbeard, they can form a team of people with special abilities by hunting them down.
Uno, who has the strongest entry system, can naturally do it.
It's just that because others don't have the entry system, once Uno gives the looted Devil Fruit entry to others, they will also become ability users.
While gaining abilities, he also has to bear the side effects of the Devil Fruit, being rejected by the sea and becoming a landlubber.
There are pros and cons; this is a Devil Fruit.
Unlike Uno, who has the strongest entry system, he can use the power of Devil Fruit without suffering the side effects of Devil Fruit.
"Even if there is a legendary secret treasure like the Devil Fruit, I will never have the chance to eat it."
After hearing Uno's words, Kaya's eyes suddenly lit up and then dimmed.
"When we meet again, I'll give you a Devil Fruit; how about that?"
Uno laughed.
"!!!"
Kaya's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Uno, who was looking at her with a gentle smile.
"Uno, how can this be possible? It's such a precious thing."
Kaya didn't even know what to say at this point.
"Devil Fruit is nothing to me, and besides, haven't you already paid me?
A girl's love is much more precious to me than a Devil Fruit."
Uno looked at the dining car next to her and smiled.
"...."
Kaya bit her red lips and stared at Uno in a daze.
How can these foods compare with the legendary secret treasure of the sea, Devil Fruit?
She was weak and sickly since childhood and would read some interesting books when she was bored in her room.
As a young girl, Kaya naturally likes to read books about love, and she also yearns for the love stories in the books.
Especially some stories where the girl's true love comes down from the sky and saves the girl.
For Kaya, who can't even leave her room or take a leisurely walk outside, such stories are very attractive.
But Kaya also knew that such a thing was almost impossible to happen.
But that's what happened. Uno, just like in the book, suddenly appeared from the sky, defeated Clo, and saved her and everyone here.
When she first met Uno, she didn't believe it for a moment because Uno said Krabatel was a pirate and even yelled at Uno.
But Uno was not angry. Instead, he smiled at her gently and then saved her and everyone here.
That warm smile made Kaya's mind full of Uno's figure when she was resting.
Kaya, who had never been in love, didn't know if this feeling was the love described in the books.
But this feeling was completely different from the feeling Kaya had inside when she listened to Usopp bragging.
Usopp, they are very good friends, so Kaya knows how she feels when facing her friends.
But the feeling I had towards Uno, even though it was just the first time we met, was completely different from the feeling I had towards my friends.
I want to know everything about Uno, I want to chat with Uno more, and I want to serve more food to Uno, who seems to be hungry at the table.
Even just watching Uno eat, Kaya would smile unconsciously.
This feeling is really similar to the love she saw in the book.
Kaya also read a sentence in the book that whether people can become lovers or are destined to be just friends is destined from the moment they meet for the first time.
Knowing that Uno will be leaving tomorrow, Kaya wanted to chat with Uno more tonight.
In addition to Uno's exaggerated food intake and meal intervals today, Kaya was also worried about whether Uno would be hungry, so she came tonight.
"We have made a promise."
Uno looked at Kaya, held out his little finger, and smiled gently.
"Um..."
Seeing Uno's gentle smile, Kaya blushed slightly.
Then he gently hooked his pinky finger with Uno's pinky finger. The strange touch from his fingertips made Kaya's heart tremble, and she lowered her head shyly.
At this moment, Kaya was sure.
This is love.
