Chapter 238: Recording the Data of the Empress! 

"I... I came out?" Marigold uttered in astonishment.

"Sister Hancock, Sister Sandersonia."

"Quickly, check if there is no 'curse' behind me!"

Then she got up quickly and turned her back in front of Hancock and Sandersonia.

"Wait, you call us sister?"

"Are you... Marigold?!" Sandersonia's eyes widened.

Looking at the beautiful, delicate, tall woman in front of her in disbelief, who was completely different from the obese and rough image, she uttered in disbelief.

"What's the matter, sister Sandersonia? Why such a surprised expression?"

"I have a device on my body... Wait, is this my body?!" Marigold looked at her body, her eyes widened instantly.

And at this moment, she also felt an abnormality in her body.

The originally plump body seemed to have become particularly flexible at this moment.

Even her strength was much stronger.

Rifan had used the Munch-Munch Fruit to separate the excess fat from Marigold's body.

He had even helped Marigold refine her muscles.

So, Marigold didn't lose strength despite the loss of size.

The only price, probably, was that her defense was much weaker due to the lack of fat.

"Rifan, what did you do to me!?"

"Aren't you going to help me remove the curse?"

"Why did the fat I accumulated from eating a lot of sumo nabe disappear so easily!?"

Marigold came close to Rifan, raised her hands restlessly, and pressed Rifan's shoulder while shaking him.

"Don't get excited; it's just that the fat has disappeared, it doesn't matter."

"Although your defence is weakened, you have gained stronger strength and speed, haven't you?"

"And you have regained your beautiful body; what's wrong with that?"

"If it's a normal person, I wouldn't use my abilities to help them lose weight and keep fit."

"And shouldn't the most important thing be the disappearance of the curse?"

"You'd better let Hancock and Sandersonia take a good look behind your back."

Rifan glanced at Marigold's chest, which was shaking with excitement.

He patted her on the arm and turned to Sandersonia and Hancock behind her.

At the same time, Nojiko also stepped forward to comfort Marigold.

And while she wasn't paying attention, she raised her hand to stroke Marigold's cheek.

At this moment, Sandersonia and Hancock were staring at Marigold's back with wide eyes.

Although the change in Marigold's appearance initially made the two of them not recognize her, after a while, they connected Marigold's current appearance with her previous appearance when she was eating sumo nabe.

They also recognized that the beautiful woman in front of them was their sister.

After realizing this, Hancock and Sandersonia didn't notice the celestial dragon's hooves behind Marigold! 

Therefore, the two were naturally extremely excited.

"Marigold, the curse behind you really disappeared!"

Sandersonia saw Marigold look back at herself and Hancock, finally regaining her calm. She stepped forward excitedly and hugged her in her arms.

"Really?! It disappeared?!" Marigold's whole body began to tremble with excitement.

She had even forgotten for a moment that Rifan had removed a lot of her fat.

"See for yourself, Marigold; what's behind you is indeed gone."

"The skin is as smooth as before, very beautiful." Hancock said with a slight smile, pushing a floor mirror in front of Marigold.

Marigold turned around excitedly, and sure enough, she didn't see the extremely ugly Celestial Dragon's Hoof behind her.

"Well, I didn't lie, did I?"

"You don't have to worry about it appearing again."

"I have thoroughly checked your body."

"You no longer have the so-called curse left in your body."

"Now, I put the pig and your excess fat in that bubble."

"By the way, if you want to gain weight again, you can choose to pop that bubble."

"But correspondingly, the curse will return to your body."

"My suggestion is, if you insist on gaining weight, eat your sumo nabe after returning to your country."

"But let me tell you, it's a pity that a beauty like you becomes fat again."

"Since becoming this skinny can increase strength and speed, why not sacrifice a little bit of defence?"

Rifan folded his hands and looked at the excited Marigold with a smile on his face.

As soon as his words fell, Marigold quickly came to Rifan and hugged him tightly.

In an instant, there was a scent of fragrance.

"Thank you, Rifan."

"Although you did unnecessary things to my fat."

"But I still have to thank you very much."

The Hooves of the Celestial Dragon, which had caused Marigold to have nightmares for many years, disappeared.

It made Marigold's whole body tremble with excitement.

Gradually, two tears flowed from Marigold's bright eyes, wetting Rifan's clothes.

Sandersonia and Hancock, seeing Marigold's appearance, also had tears in their eyes.

Similarly, the eyes they looked at Rifan with were full of anticipation and hesitation.

Anticipation because they wanted Rifan to remove the 'curse' from them.

Hesitation because they didn't want others to know the secret behind themselves.

After a while, Marigold's mood finally stabilised.

She put Rifan, whose clothes were almost completely wet with her tears, on the ground and wanted to say something.

However, when the words came to her mouth, Marigold looked at Hancock and Sandersonia with some hesitation.

Although she hoped that Rifan could help her sister Hancock and Sandersonia with the things behind them, for a while, she didn't know how to mention this to Rifan without hurting her sister's self-esteem as much as possible.

Fortunately, Rifan did not let the three Hancock sisters hesitate for long.

After he evaporated the water stains on his body with the flame of fox fire and straightened his clothes, he turned to look at Hancock and Sandersonia.

"Since you two have seen my power."

"Now you two should believe me."

"So, do you want to keep hiding what's behind you?"

"And then proceed to cover it up with curses."

"Or, let me remove them now?"

The three sisters looked at Rifan in surprise when they heard what he said.

"Rifan, you know?!"

Hancock frowned gracefully, her eyes fixed on Rifan's cheek.

"Of course, I know. After all, your partners outside have said that the three of you are cursed."

"Also, I want to get to know you better," Rifan said meaningfully.

Hearing this, Hancock couldn't help but give Rifan a deep look.

Rifan met Hancock's gaze without backing down. After a minute or so, Hancock was finally persuaded by Rifan's persistence and her hope to get rid of the curse. She turned around silently and slowly removed the red cheongsam from her body, revealing the beautiful back of her neck. In an instant, the red hooves of the celestial dragon appeared in front of Rifan's eyes.

"R-Rifan, can you help me?"

At this moment, Hancock lost her previous strength, and her tone became softer and more pleading.

Hancock's words brought Rifan back from his amazement at Hancock's beauty after removing her clothes. Even though he was prepared, seeing Hancock's exaggerated charm still amazed him. After all, he was just a layman and couldn't help but admire beautiful things. Of course, with his current willpower and strength, he wouldn't be as uncontrollable as ordinary pirates and Marines when faced with Hancock's allure.

"Of course, I'd like to help you, Hancock," Rifan nodded and walked behind Hancock, who folded her hands in front of her. He opened his mouth and swallowed her in one gulp. This time, there was no need to separate excess fat from Hancock, so it only took Rifan a moment to regurgitate her.

Nojiko, who was already prepared, immediately reached out to catch Hancock but 'accidentally' touched her face with her right hand. After completing this, Nojiko smiled at Rifan as if to say, 'I did it.' Rifan naturally responded with a smile.

At the same time, after regaining her footing, Hancock didn't bother to wipe off the saliva that belonged to Rifan on her body. She quickly walked to the floor-to-ceiling mirror and pointed her back at the mirror. Because she cared too much about the Celestial Dragon's Hoof behind her, she even forgot to defend herself in front of Rifan.

Seeing this, Rifan raised his eyebrows, and his eyes immediately went into scanning mode.

'As expected, she is the most beautiful woman in the world. It's a good thing this woman doesn't know how to fight in a swimsuit or anything. Otherwise, many powerful men wouldn't be able to resist.'

'No wonder that Blackbeard guy in the original book wanted to snatch Hancock's Devil Fruit.'

'However, apart from Hancock, there shouldn't be many people who can fully utilize this Devil Fruit's abilities.'

While thinking, Rifan raised his hand and popped a pill containing extremely bitter medicine powder into his mouth. He felt that he needed to calm down a bit, otherwise, he might not be able to take his eyes off Hancock.

"Okay, it's your turn, Sandersonia. If you don't mind getting wet with my saliva, you don't need to take off your clothes. Just take off your shoes," Rifan suggested.

Sandersonia nodded eagerly and quickly removed her shoes, assuming a gesture that indicated Rifan could proceed. A few seconds later, Sandersonia was swallowed by Rifan and then expelled just like Hancock, with Nojiko there to assist.

Although Sandersonia wasn't Rifan's preferred type, she possessed a Devil Fruit power, and Rifan believed it was necessary for Nojiko to copy the data of her abilities.

"Thank you, Rifan! Thank you for helping us get rid of the 'curse'!" Hancock said with a smile on her face and a relaxed expression, coming closer to Rifan. Though she still held some reservations about Rifan, the removal of the curse had significantly improved her opinion of him.

Hancock had believed that Rifan was unaffected by her charms, especially since he hadn't been petrified by 'Mero Mero Mellow' earlier. So, coupled with the relief of the curse's disappearance, Hancock momentarily forgot to put on her clothes and stood in front of Rifan confidently.
