359 Chapter 357: I Can Live For More Than A Thousand Years! 

"Nami, Carina, this is not the time to joke around."

Bonney saw Carina and Nami approaching.

And doesn't seem to have heard what she said earlier about longevity.

Immediately, with a serious face, she said what she had heard from Marine Hina about the sharing of fruits and her speculation.

at first.

Both Nami and Carina remained calm.

But as Bonney revealed more and more.

The expressions of the two also gradually became serious and worried.

Carina was the first steps forward.

Stretching out her hand to caress Rifan's face, she opened her peach-like mouth and asked worriedly; 

"Rifan, we have never asked you what your abilities are."

"And how can you make us, your crew members become stronger quickly."

"I didn't expect that your ability turned out to require lifespan to support."

"And you gave us your lifespan before, right?"

"From Mikita to me, and then to Franky, you have consumed a total of 1000 years of life, right?"

"Originally, your power will not consume your lifespan."

"But hearing Bonney say that, I get it, you're helping us live longer."

"Actually, you are handing over your life to us, right?"

"Although this kind of behavior is very touching, does a lifespan of a thousand years really have no effect on you?"

Nami also came over, with her hands on her knees, her body slightly bent, her big eyes staring straight at Rifan's eyes.

"Not only that, since you help us become stronger, the service life is the price."

"Then you'll help us all raise our strength to such a degree."

"It must have consumed a lot of your life span. Are you sure it won't affect you?"

"No, let me see your body!"

Speaking of this, Nami became more and more worried about Rifan's physical condition, and directly started to grope Rifan's body. 

At this moment, both Carina and Nami no longer care about the fact that Bonney is holding Rifan.

"Hey, can you three give me a moment to explain?"

"Really, what I said earlier was just to fool Marine's Sengoku."

"In order to get those guys to believe me, I have to come up with a convincing argument."

Rifan stretched out his hands to grab Nami's hand, sighed, and said.

"A lie?"

"Then how did you do it so that we all get a hundred-year lifespan bonus.

"And how did you make us stronger?"

Nami frowned slightly, but did not give up on asking Rifan.

Bonney and Carina looked at Rifan with the same concern.

In the past, the three of them were the same as the other Black Pearl Pirates' companions.

Although they are curious about Rifan's power to make others stronger, but out of respect for Rifan's privacy, they didn't ask. 

But now that they know that Rifan's power is very much caused by the consumption of lifespan.

How could they not feel worried?

"Well, there are some special circumstances."

Rifan scratched his cheek and said with some embarrassment.

It is impossible for him to explain the matter of copy space to everyone now.

And for a while, he couldn't think of another version to explain his ability.

Facing Nami's inquiry, he also had no choice.

"Anyway, all you need to know is that my strength doesn't deplete my lifespan."

"Besides, since I can help you gain a hundred years of life."

"That only means my lifespan is more than a hundred years."

"Regarding my ability, it is not so easy to explain clearly."

Rifan patted the back of Nami's hand and said.

Hearing this, Nami, Carina, and Bonney all frowned.

"Captain Rifan, can I ask you a question?"

Suddenly, Carina's eyes flashed a light, and she stared into Rifan's eyes and asked.

"Tell me what your question is first, Carina."

"Captain Rifan, when you invited Brook to be a member of the Black Pearl Pirates, you didn't help him gain a hundred years of life, did you?"

"....That's true."

"After that, if you invite other partners to board the ship, will it help them gain a hundred years of life?"

"...this, not necessarily. "

"Captain Rifan, can I understand that your current lifespan is not enough to consume as much as before, so you plan to stop helping future partners to gain more lifespan, right?"

After some questioning, Carina's tone also became aggressive.

It's not that she doesn't like Rifan.

Instead, through asking, she felt more and more that Rifan wasted his own life to help everyone.

Therefore, she was both moved and worried by Rifan's behavior.

"I wonder earlier why Brook doesn't get the lifespan bonus."

"It turned out to be because of this reason."

"Rifan, tell me the truth, how much life span do you still have?"

Bonney adjusted her posture and sat cross-legged on the sofa.

Then she dragged Rifan's body to sit on her legs, and asked him.

"If I say that I have thousands of years to live, would you believe me?"

Rifan sighed and said quietly.

He didn't expect that the excuse he came up with to deal with the Marine would cause his crew to react like this.

Although his companions cared about him, it made him very happy.

But there is no way to explain this matter clearly.

After all, it would be rather troublesome if his partners didn't allow him to use the enhancements obtained from the copy space to help everyone become stronger because they didn't want him to lose his lifespan.

"Thousands of years?!"

"Indeed! If you didn't give ten of us life spans.

"You do have a lifespan of thousands of years."

"But now, do you really still have so much lifespan?"

Bonney frowned and asked suspiciously.

"I'm not lying, Bonney."

"By the way, Bonney, don't you have the power of the fruit of age?"

"If you use your ability to change me in the direction of aging."

"You should be able to roughly understand how long my lifespan is."

Rifan's eyes lit up, and he immediately said to Bonney.

"Me?"

"This is indeed a way."

"Bonney, just give it a try."

Nami nodded and said to Bonney.

Carina also agrees.

"All right!"

Seeing this, Bonney immediately put her hands on Rifan's forehead.

The next moment, Rifan felt a softness on the back of his head.

What followed was a wave of age fruit power fluctuations.

"Huh?! No change?"

Bonney, are you really using your abilities?"

Nami blinked, looked at Rifan's unresponsive body, and asked Bonney suspiciously.

"This… I've clearly used my ability."

Bonney said, frowning.

"Then why hasn't he changed?"

Carina was also a little puzzled.

"I just said, my life is very long."

"Bonney is just pushing my body forward decades into the future, there's no way I'm going to age."

Rifan raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile on his face.

"No! There is another possibility!"

"Rifan, you use Haki quietly to neutralize my ability!"

Bonney pressed Rifan's head with both hands, gritted her teeth and said.

"Of course not, you see clearly, Bonney, my Haki was clearly not mobilized."

Rifan said.

"No! With your strength, it is too easy for you to use Haki without us knwoing!"

"Moreover, you have all kinds of weird ability on your body."

"Perhaps you can use those strange powers to offset my ability!"

Bonney frowned more and more, and her tone of voice was full of concern for Rifan.

"Really, no matter what I say, you all think that I wasted my lifespan to strengthen you?"

Hearing this, Rifan couldn't help but sighed deeply.

"Great power requires a great price to pay."

"I didn't think about this before, but now that I think about it, it seems that only life can pay the price for your ability, Captain Rifan for helping us."

"What's more, Captain Rifan, you have also used the power of longevity on us."

"This shows that lifespan is also an item that can be traded in your hands."

"Under such circumstances, let us believe that you did not consume lifespan to help us strengthen."

"It's really difficult."

Carina reached out and placed Rifan's hand on her full, warm heart, her eyes full of worry.

"This is really, what do I have to say before you believe it?"

Rifan sighed and said weakly.

"Rifan, you better tell the truth."

"At least tell us, how long do you have to live?"

Nami pursed her lips, took Rifan's other hand and said.

"More than a thousand years... Even if I say that, you won't believe it."

Rifan sighed.

At this time, he had already given up and explained to the three of them.

At this time, he can only hope that after a while, the three of them can feel that what they think in their hearts is wrong.

"You have already said this before... Wait, Captain Rifan, you once said that after finding one piece, you can help us revive our dead relatives, right?"

Nami's eyes lit up, and she asked Rifan quickly.

"I did say, is there a problem, Nami?"

Rifan tilted his head and asked with some doubts.

Reviving the dead requires a lot of points and certain conditions.

Finding the one piece doesn't just provide a fair amount of points.

Certain conditions can also be met.

Therefore, finding One Piece will become the condition for him to revive those dead his crew cared about. 

"Since finding One Piece can give Captain Rifan the power to help us resurrect the dead."

"That must also help you replenish the lifespan you have consumed, right?"

"Your service life helps us strengthen, which is actually a kind of gamble."

"You are betting, betting your lifespan for us to become stronger so that we can help you find the treasure of One Piece, right, Captain Rifan!!"

Nami held Rifan's palm tightly, and said with serious eyes.

Carina and Bonney agreed with Nami's analysis.

Rather, the two hope that Rifan can replenish his consumed lifespan by finding One Piece.

"... Nami, I have to say, you have a pretty big brain. "

"With such a brain hole, I think navigator is not suitable for you."

"Why don't you come and be the novelist of the Black Pearl Pirates?"

Rifan was silent for a while, and then said to Nami with some shame.

"Captain Rifan, you don't have to lie anymore."

"I know you don't want to say it because you don't want us to worry."

"Don't worry, I will never disappoint the life you spent on me!"

Nami said solemnly.

"Me too, it was hard for me to find a long-term meal ticket like you, Rifan."

"If it just disappears like this, I will be quite sad."

Carina nodded.

"And me, although your character is quite bad."

"But you're still a good captain."

"Being the helmsman is also a good job."

"I don't want to think of ways to reorganize the former Bonney Pirates."

Bonney said while rubbing Rifan's face with both hands.

Although Bonney and Carina are not as loyal to Rifan as Nami is to the point of life and death.

But their close loyalty is enough for them to show considerable concern for Rifan.

"It made me happy to hear you three say that."

"However, there's really nothing wrong with my longevity... eh!

Rifan thought about it, and opened his mouth to continue explaining.

However, Bonney held his head directly and turned his body 180 degrees, and pressed him into her arms.

Rifan only felt that something was directly filling his mouth, and he couldn't speak anymore.

Seeing Bonney's movements, Carina and Nami couldn't help but glance at each other.

At this moment, both of them seemed to have reached a certain decision in their hearts.
