Cocoyasi Village – Nojiko's Transformation
"Yeah…"
Nojiko touched her tanned cheek, feeling a little self-conscious.
Compared to Hikaru's other consorts—all stunning beauties with fair skin, exquisite features, and long legs—she couldn't help but feel a bit insecure.
Click!
The sound of a camera shutter snapped her out of her thoughts.
"Eh!? Hikaru, what are you doing!?"
"I'm taking a picture of you. Later, we can compare and see how much you've changed~"
"Oh, that's right!" Nami suddenly remembered something, her eyes lighting up with excitement. "Nojiko, I've prepared a Devil Fruit for you! Let Onii-chan give it to you!"
"What!?"
"Go! Go!"
Before Nojiko could react, Nami grabbed her and practically shoved her toward Hikaru, pushing them both into the house.
Inside, Nojiko hesitated, lowering her head slightly as a blush crept up to her ears.
"Umm… Is there anything I need to do?"
"No need, just sit back and let me handle it," Hikaru reassured her.
Gently, he brushed her blue hair away from her face and guided her to a chair in the living room.
Then, he took out the Slip-Slip Fruit and activated his White Thunder Plundering ability, channeling its power into Nojiko.
The effect was immediate.
A strange sensation enveloped her entire body as the fruit's ability took hold.
Hikaru narrowed his eyes, watching as Nojiko's figure and appearance subtly transformed—becoming more refined, more alluring.
Her short blue hair grew longer, cascading down her back until it reached her waist.
Her skin became smoother, firmer, and fairer—pure and delicate, like the softness of a newborn. The tattoos on her body faded away.
Among his consorts, only Conis and Kaya could match her newfound radiance in terms of sheer beauty.
But the true marvel of the Slip-Slip Fruit lay in its ability to enhance not only its user but also those around them. Nojiko would soon be able to help the other women refine their beauty even further.
In just moments, the transformation was complete. Nojiko had blossomed into a breathtaking version of herself—like a perfected, invincible version of what she might have become years into the future.
She gasped, feeling the incredible changes within her. A strange new power pulsed inside her body, and she instinctively attempted to use it.
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
A startled scream echoed through the room.
She had barely grasped the ability, and her first attempt went completely out of control.
"Nojiko, don't panic!"
Hikaru quickly covered his arms in Armament Haki, stepping forward to steady her as she stumbled.
Nojiko was naturally talented, and with his guidance, she soon began to adjust, quickly gaining control over the slippery power.
"So this… this is the power of a Devil Fruit?" she murmured, still in disbelief.
"Yes. This is the Slip-Slip Fruit. You'll need a couple of days to get used to it," Hikaru explained. "Don't leave this room until you've mastered it."
"Got it!" Nojiko nodded seriously, fully trusting his words.
"You can come in now."
The moment he said that, Nami burst into the room, her face filled with concern.
"Nojiko! Are you okay? I heard you scream—" She froze mid-sentence, her eyes widening in shock.
"W-Wait… Nojiko!?"
She couldn't believe what she was seeing. The woman standing before her was completely different—so much so that she almost seemed like a different person entirely.
"Whoa! Is the Slip-Slip Fruit really this powerful!?"
Nojiko, still feeling a little overwhelmed, was taken aback by Nami's reaction.
"Did I change that much?"
Hikaru's fiery gaze and Nami's stunned expression made her feel unexpectedly shy.
"See for yourself!"
Nami waved her hand, conjuring a water mirror framed by clouds.
Nojiko instinctively looked into the reflection—
—and was utterly speechless.
"This… this is me…?"
The woman in the mirror was breathtaking—like a goddess who had stepped right out of a dream.
At that moment, as her heart pounded wildly in her chest, she felt as if she were floating—no, as if she were sitting on Hikaru himself.
A Heartfelt Reunion and New Beginnings
"Hikaru, Nami, thank you!"
As Nojiko finally came to her senses, gratitude was the first thing that filled her heart. Without their help, she would have never undergone such a transformation.
"What's there to thank us for?" Nami pouted, crossing her arms. "You better get used to your new power quickly! Once you master it, you can help make us even more beautiful."
"Okay~" Nojiko couldn't stop smiling, still basking in the joy of her newfound strength.
Outside, the other women patiently waited, choosing not to interrupt the sisters' reunion. Today was about Nami and Nojiko, and they understood the importance of this moment.
"You two catch up—I have something else to take care of," Hikaru said with a smirk.
"Yeah!" "Yeah!"
Both girls responded cheerfully, knowing full well that Hikaru was simply giving them space to talk in private.
With a nod to his concubines, Hikaru stepped out of the house and disappeared in a flash, reappearing beside Tina and Porche, then taking them both to Yasuie.
Tina's Struggle and Submission
"Not bad, not bad, Tina. You didn't try to escape, and you've honored our agreement. That's quite commendable."
Hikaru ran his fingers through Tina's hair, amused by her stubborn facade. Though she pretended to resist, deep down, she wasn't rejecting his touch.
"Hmph! Tina is not a treacherous person," she huffed, her cheeks turning slightly red. Even her delicate ears were tinged with a soft pink blush.
"Tina~ Tina~" Hikaru teased with a chuckle. "Once we return to the Kingdom of God, you can raise an army of women and enforce your brand of justice there."
"Hmph! Even if Tina has to sit on the hot bench every day, she will never help you rule your so-called Kingdom of God!"
Despite her sharp words, there was a hint of hesitation in her tone.
Hikaru simply smiled. He had all the time in the world to make her yield.
Morning Mischief and Departure
The next morning, Hikaru was gently awakened—not by the usual soft hands he expected, but by Marianne.
"Hmm? Why you?"
Still groggy, he looked around in confusion, only to notice Mikita covering her mouth as she giggled softly in the background.
So, this was her idea…
"Alright, alright, let's get up and eat~" Hikaru chuckled, stretching lazily.
Mikita playfully pulled Marianne away, allowing Hikaru to get dressed with the assistance of Tina and Porche.
Soon, he stepped into the courtyard, where breakfast was already prepared.
Everything was ready. It was time to set off.
"Onii-chan!" Nami clung to his arm, looking up at him with big, pleading eyes. "Can you bring our house and orange orchard with us?"
How could Hikaru possibly refuse such an adorable request?
"Of course!"
With a simple motion, he activated his ability—
"Float-Float: Earth Dragon's Embrace!"
In an instant, Nami's house and the entire orange orchard were seamlessly integrated into Yasuie, as if they had always belonged there.
"Yay~! Onii-chan, you're the best!" Nami squealed happily, throwing herself into his arms.
Hikaru chuckled, holding her close, enjoying the warmth of her gratitude.
With everything settled, he took one last glance at the village before turning his focus forward.
After confirming that everyone was accounted for, Hikaru controlled Yasuie, lifting it into the sky, and set off toward Loguetown.
