He was truly excited now.
These three fruits, each one was more incredible than the last!
The Repair Fruit, it repaired anything that was broken, just like that, as if it were nothing!
As for the Thundercloud Fruit, although it was a bit hard to accept, it was an evolved version of the Lightning Fruit. The Lightning Fruit was already so strong, how could this evolved version be any worse?
The most outrageous one was this Mythical Zoan in the form of an Angel.
The Gomu Gomu no Mi Devil Fruit was already called a divine fruit, and now there was another sub-divine one!
Shining in the dark, combat power increasing by 50% in the light—didn't that mean that, whether day or night, the combat power would always increase by 50%?
Then, who should eat this fruit? Should it be given to a crew member who would join, or should he wait and give it to Hancock? There weren't many strong women in the Pirates: Robin, Momousagi, Hancock. What should he do? He couldn't just tie up Big Mom and shove the fruit into her mouth, could he? Then the Angel form would be wasted!
Luffy suppressed the excitement in his heart and decided to hold back for a while. Then he calmly looked at Kaya, who was admiring the seagulls by the sea, and said:
"Kaya, actually, I lied to you before. The doctor in the Drum Kingdom is indeed very capable, but he can't guarantee that you will fully recover. So, I've decided to give you a treasure that I've been hiding for over a decade, and with it, you'll be able to return to normal."
Luffy thought about the past and future powers of his crew members, including the fruits. So, as soon as he got these three fruits, his first thought was to have these two girls eat them.
Kaya turned her head and stared blankly at him when she heard Luffy's words. Apparently, she didn't quite believe that Luffy's treasure could cure her.
And Nami, she was quietly looking down, her eyes as if she wanted to eat someone. She thought to herself: Is this guy trying to trick Kaya? If he dares to think about it, I'll neuter him!
Fortunately, Luffy wasn't that dark-hearted.
He pretended to go into the cabin, and when he came out again, he had a strange-looking fruit in his hand. The fruit was white, with a cross-like pattern on it.
Nami's eyes widened at his side: "Could this be... a Devil Fruit worth a hundred million Berries?!"
She stood up abruptly, looking at Luffy in surprise.
This guy, he had something so good and didn't think of himself, but actually wanted to give it to Kaya? What did he mean by this? Am I really not worthy?
Hearing Nami's exclamation, Kaya's eyes also widened, her face full of disbelief: "You want to give this to me? No, no, it's too precious."
"It's not worth much money."
Luffy held the fruit and squatted down beside Kaya.
He placed the fruit in her hand and gently brushed her hair, saying, "In my heart, you are more important than anything!"
At that very moment—
Nami, who was beside them, felt as if her dream had been shattered.
Seeing Kaya, who was sitting in the wheelchair, covering her mouth and being deeply moved, she felt a sense of bitterness.
This gentle little sister, it seems, had unknowingly stolen her husband!
Whoosh—
Nami took a deep breath and glared fiercely at Luffy. Then she turned and entered the cabin.
She felt a bit discouraged; the man who had kissed her several times, was now using a treasure she had never seen to please another woman!
Oh, how ridiculous!
"You, you're serious?"
Kaya didn't notice Nami's emotions at all, she clutched the Devil Fruit tightly, looking at Luffy, who was staring at her with deep affection, she opened her mouth several times, finally only managing to squeeze out: "How can I repay you?"
Oh, what should I do, my heart is pounding like a drum? Did Luffy confess to me?
The excitement in Kaya's heart made her face flush, and she quietly waited for Luffy's next words.
And Luffy, indeed, did not disappoint her.
He gently flicked her nose with his big hand, smiling brightly as he said, "Seeing you happy is the best reward for me."
Kaya: !!!
Mom, Dad, I'm done for, I'm in love!!
"Ding, Host has successfully moved the Pirate King's beauty 'Kaya', integrating all of her current (and future) powers! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the "Paramecia Repair Fruit" ability! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained: ..."
A series of notification sounds rang in his mind, and Luffy revealed a relieved smile.
This matter was finally settled. If things continued like this, he wouldn't even have slept with the Pirate King's beauties, and his harem would have already turned into a Colosseum!
Luffy subconsciously glanced at the tightly closed door, feeling quite helpless.
Before things were sorted out, he probably had to continue coaxing her. Sigh...
Kaya didn't notice Luffy's troubled expression at all; she snatched the Devil Fruit and began to chew on it happily.
Speaking of which, when Luffy first ate that thing, it tasted incredibly bitter. But for some reason, Kaya now found it sweet.
Her cheeks flushed, she quietly glanced at Luffy while gnawing on the fruit clean like a little hamster.
Luffy sat across from her, dumbfounded: This guy, could this fruit be fake?
"Kaya, as for your abilities, take your time, you'll figure it out eventually. As my crewmates, I can't play favorites; I'll give one to Nami now."
Kaya nodded obediently: "Mhm, mhm, go, Big Brother!"
She was already calling him big brother?
Luffy looked at Kaya with wide eyes; it didn't seem out of place, as they were similar in age. Luffy was born in May, Kaya in August, calling him big brother was a normal thing.
It was just that... When she whispered it, it felt a little strange.
Luffy walked to the tightly closed cabin and saw Nami hiding in a corner of the kitchen, quietly drinking alcohol.
"Hey, Nami, it's not that serious, is it? I just gave it to Kaya because she's weak. Are you really jealous?"
Nami almost choked when she heard this, turning her head away, ignoring him.
But when Luffy pulled out another Devil Fruit, she couldn't maintain her composure.
"You, you, how do you still have one?!!!"
As the fruit was presented, Nami's eyes almost popped out in shock, full of disbelief.
