Chapter 82: Nojiko Medicine Boxing Technique! 

Ayane naturally understood what Rifan meant, she snorted coldly and said:

"If I can't pay you the remaining Devil Fruit, I'll join you that time."

As she spoke, she walked to Psycho P's side and stabbed him in the heart.

The ruthlessness of her attacks made even Carina, who had seen Ayane's actions, feel terrified.

While lamenting the loss of her old acquaintance Psycho P in this way, she secretly decided to stay away from Ayane in the future.

After Ayane dropped Psycho P neatly, she turned around and walked towards the restaurant satisfied.

'Just treat it as an investment, if she can really become a partner in the future, it will be worth it. '

'In half a year, even a Devil Fruit, if you're unlucky, you won't be able to get it, Ms. Ayane.'

Rifan smiled, greeted Nojiko and Carina beside him, and then led Psycho P into the warehouse.

"Captain Rifan, what are we doing here?"

Carina looked at the slightly dark environment of the warehouse, and the fact that Psycho P was dead in Rifan's hands made Carina a little worried, so she couldn't help asking, a little scared.

"It's nothing, I just feel that since you have become a partner."

"Perhaps I can help you increase your strength so that you can feel more secure when facing that Nelson guy and the remaining treasure hunters."

Although Carina now has an advanced invitation task on her head, this makes it possible for Rifan to increase Carina's loyalty to him and the Black Pearl Pirates.

But before completing this task, Rifan also wants to see if helping her increase her strength can increase her loyalty.

If the method of increasing power can increase her loyalty, Rifan might have to reform Carina's administration.

"But before that, Carina, please wait for a moment."

Rifan took an apple that Nojiko took out from the restaurant, and immediately used the ability of Dark Fruit to wrap him and Psycho P in black mist.

After a while, under Carina's puzzled eyes, the black mist surrounding Rifan and Psycho P gradually dissipated.

Soon, Carina's eyes were attracted by the colored fruit in Rifan's hand.

"This is... Devil Fruit?!"

"Wait, Captain Rifan, did you take Psycho P's Devil Fruit like this?!"

Carina rubbed her eyes and asked Rifan a question in disbelief.

"That's right, this is the strength of our captain."

"He has the power to steal other people's Devil Fruit."

"Speaking of which, Captain Rifan is a great pirate with a reward of 80 million Berry."

"Carina, haven't you seen the news and rewards about us on the news lately?"

Nojiko nodded, and proudly introduced Rifan, her captain and her man, to Carina.

"A reward of 80 million Berry?!"

Carina exclaimed, and looked at Rifan carefully again.

"That's right, and the reason why we are here."

"It's because Captain Rifan and Marine hero Garp fought."

"After that, we left safely and ended up here by accident."

Nojiko laughed.

"Marine Hero Garp!"

Carina frowned slightly, her eyes were fixed on Nojiko, and Nojiko also looked at her calmly.

Carina's heart sank suddenly.

She has seen countless people, and she can more or less know whether a person is lying or not by looking in their eyes.

But Nojiko's eyes are clear, so it is unlikely that she will lie.

This means that Rifan likely got out of Garp's hands unscathed.

Although the stronger Rifan and others are, the more they can help in defeating the marines and the treasure hunters who were hunting them down.

But this also means that if she wants to leave Rifan in the future, the possibility of failure will be much greater!

No wonder Carina felt a little heavy inside.

But when Carina saw Rifan looking at her meaningfully, she quickly changed her mood, folded her hands and looked at Rifan adoringly.

"It's amazing. It turns out that Captain Rifan still has such power."

"It is said that an ordinary Devil Fruit can sell for at least 100 million berries."

"With Captain Rifan's power, wouldn't he be able to become a wealthy pirate by hunting down Devil fruit users?"

Hearing this, Rifan shrugged and smiled:

"I don't know if I will be rich or not from doing it, but measuring the value of Devil Fruit with money would be too wasteful.

"Speaking of which, Carina, I wonder if you are interested in becoming a devil fruit user."

"Exactly, I have two Devil Fruits here. Why don't you choose?"

Rifan smiled, placed the slippery fruit and the Color fruit in front of Carina, and told her the functions of the two Devil Fruits.

"Slippery fruit, a fruit that can make people beautiful."

"But I shouldn't need it anymore, I'm already cute."

"Right, Captain Rifan?"

Carina raised her mouth and asked Rifan with a smile on her face.

"Indeed, Carina is indeed a very lovely and beautiful girl so it's not needed."

Rifan nodded and praised Carina without hesitation.

Of course, it may be because the current Carina is only eighteen years old, so her figure is not as ample as it appeared in the original book, and it is also not as good as the current Nami.

"So, if I have to choose, I am willing to accept this Color fruit."

"But Captain Rifan, do you really want to give me this devil fruit?"

Carina looked at the color devil fruit in Rifan's hand, and there was a faint flash of light in her eyes.

She planned to find a chance to leave Rifan's place in the future.

If she has the color devil fruit, then her chances of leaving here will be much greater.

Of course, she has not forgotten that Rifan seems to have the power to see through others' invisibility.

"Since I've already said what I said, I naturally don't intend to take it back."

"Eat it, Carina."

"This Devil Fruit should be useful for you when stealing things later.

As Rifan said, he stuffed the colored fruit into Carina's arms.

"Steal something? Captain Rifan, what are you talking about, I don't quite understand!"

Carina was startled at first, and then looked at Rifan with a puzzled expression.

After all, in what she told Rifan earlier.

It didn't include the fact that she was a thief.

"You don't need to be surprised."

"The reason why I invited you to my ship is because of your talent in theft."

"Even, the position I leave for you on the ship is the position of 'thief'."

Rifan waved his hand and smiled.

"Are you good at seeing people?"

Carina frowned slightly, feeling a sense of solemnity in her heart for no reason.

If Rifan can see that she has considerable talent in stealing, wouldn't he also be able to see that she is just pretending to join the Black Pearl Pirates now?

However, although Carina has some doubts about what Rifan said,

But she also understands that now is not the time to ask.

After looking at the devil fruit in her hand, she decided that it would be better to gain strength first.

After making her decision, she opened her Sakura peach colored lips and bit down on the fruit.

As the fruit enters her belly, her brows frown immediately.

But soon, Carina began to close her eyes and try her own power.

Rifan saw that Carina was getting familiar with the power of Devil Fruit, so he opened her personal attribute list, wanting to confirm whether Carina's loyalty had increased.

'Loyalty came to 31, evaluation is a casual acquaintance. '

Fortunately, helping her gain power is useful.

'It seems that an eighteen-year-old girl still yearns for power. '

'Let me see the position level....Yes, eating the corresponding Devil Fruit really improves the position level.'

'Excellent theft experience combined with the ability to stealth can already raise Carina's talent in theft to an expert.'

'Afterwards, help her acquire the ability of Observation Haki, so that she can develop her ability to steal to a master level. '

Even though he thinks so, Rifan also understands that it is not an easy task to become a thief at the master level.

After all, it is also possible for enemies to have Observation Haki.

If he wants her to steal from the enemy's Observation Haki, he needs Carina to have a much better Observation Haki than others, let's say Charlotte Katakuri's future-seeing Observation Haki.

Or else it's…

'If Carina is allowed to master Shanks Conqueror that can 'Kill Observation Haki', then her stealing ability will definitely reach the level of a master. "

'However...to learn that skill, the extremely powerful Conqueror's Haki is indispensable.'

'Could it be that Carina has to learn Conqueror's Haki?'

Rifan frowned, thinking about the possibility of Carina's future power direction.

You know, even Rifan's Conqueror's Haki has reached the intermediate level.

But even so, Rifan has not been able to touch the threshold of killing observation haki.

Rifan thinks that maybe he needs to upgrade Conqueror's Haki to the highest level, or maybe he can learn Observation Haki Killer by relying on the ability of copy space.

'Forget it, let's take one step at a time.'

'At least if the pirate group upgrades later, Carina, who has upgraded her thieves skills to an expert level, will allow me to get a lot of reward points.'

'It seems that when giving Devil Fruit to the crew in the future, it is best to distribute it according to their positions. '

'Having said that, I'm really looking forward to the color fruit after Carina's loyalty is full.

'At that time, I may be able to replace Sanji to realize his dream.'

Rifan smiled with satisfaction, and looked up at Carina who was in an invisible state.

"Huh?! Captain Rifan can really see me?"

"Is this the power of Observation Haki you told Psycho P earlier?"

"Observation Haki, what kind of power is it?"

"Captain Rifan, can I learn it too?"

Carina reappears and asked Rifan curiously.

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and know your enemy, you will win every battle. Since Carina still plans to leave in her heart.

Naturally, she wanted to understand Rifan's power first.

"The so-called Observation Haki is a power to enhance perception."

"This power is hard to explain verbally, but after you stay on the ship long enough, I can help you obtain this power."

Rifan said with a smile, as for Carina's thoughts, he can also guess a lot.

"Help me gain power? Is Captain Rifan going to teach me how to use Observation Haki?"

"Such magical power should be difficult to learn."

Carina shook her head, and didn't feel much hope for the so-called Observation Haki.

"Instead of teaching you how to learn Observation Haki, I prefer to let you learn it directly."

"Just like this."

Rifan raised his hand to press the pirate tattoo on Carina's left arm.

[Rifan, you use the 'Primary Armament Haki Awakening Scroll' on 'Thief' Carina, start strengthening.]

[Rifan, your talent "Strengthen the crew, equal return" has been activated, start to strengthen. ]

[Carina's strengthening has been completed, and her personal attributes have been refreshed, please check it yourself. ]

[Rifan, it has been detected that you have awakened the primary Armament Haki, this reinforcement has been automatically converted into 'Kanpo Kenpo']

[Rifan, your strengthening has been completed, and your personal attributes have been refreshed, please check it yourself. ]

"It's so hot, Captain Rifan, what are you doing... Huh?! What is this feeling?!"

Carina was thinking that Rifan was going to do something bad, but suddenly found that there was a powerful force in her body.

"This is Armament Haki, a power different from Observation Haki..."

Rifan raised his mouth and introduced to her with a smile.

And when seeing the surprised look on Carina's face and the loyalty that reached 41 points, Rifan felt more and more happy in his heart.

So what if the loyalty is low, as long as its loyalty can be increased by increasing its strength.

Low loyalty is not a problem at all for him!

"Having said that, this 'Kanpo Kenpo'... this should be the boxing technique of that old woman named Nightin who is the boat doctor of the More-More Fruit ability user. "
