Chapter 255: Kalifa's Motherhood Explodes! 

"Smoothie is indeed tall, but you Gion is not bad either. I believe that you also have your own advantages that Smoothie does not possess. As for the class or something, it is naturally a serious class," Rifan responded.

Rifan wasn't in a hurry to use the skincare products. Instead, he placed his hands on Gion's back. As he caressed his finger on her back, Gion's body couldn't help but tremble slightly. Fortunately, Rifan did not make any excessive moves. He was simply helping her relax her nerves in a professional manner. Gradually, Gion also relaxed her body and began to enjoy the massage.

Kalifa, who was nearby, gently pushed her glasses. Familiar with Rifan, she understood that he would do more than just a regular body massage. Once Gion's back was done, she would experience what Rifan referred to as his "special technique."

'However, in Gion's case, Boss probably wouldn't 'massage' her to the same level as with Nojiko. This was because Gion didn't really want to have any intimate involvement with boss,' Kalifa thought to herself.

Just as her thoughts started to drift, Rifan suddenly turned her head and said, "Kalifa, could you come to my consulting room? I keep some body-conditioning ointments I recently made in the medicine cabinet. I noticed that Ms. Gion has some minor issues with her body, and she might need to use that ointment."

"Ointment," Kalifa nodded, "I understand." With that, she opened the door and left. Using her Door-Door Fruit ability out of Gion's view, she went directly to the nearby consultation room.

She found the ointment that Rifan had mentioned. However, when she read the instructions on the side of the ointment, Kalifa's expression instantly turned odd. "Treatment oil? It can make infertile women give birth...? Experimental stage? Do they really need human experiments? Is Gion the boss's guinea pig? Could he have made it especially for her after making an agreement with Gion? But why make her give birth? Does the boss want to drink her breast milk?"

Kalifa had the unsettling notion that Rifan was using Gion like a cow, extracting fresh "Gion milk" every morning. She felt an odd sympathy for Gion.

That being said, Kalifa was also curious about how Gion would react when she learned the truth. "Such a scenario would be very interesting. If the boss actually drinks the product and Gion finds out about it, her reaction would certainly be entertaining. However, the boss might not actually drink it, and even if he did, he might not inform Gion."

Kalifa contemplated how to make her boss drink the product and let Gion discover the truth. "Tsk, tsk it's truly bizarre that he created something like this. If it works, it could be a boon for women who struggle to conceive. That being said, Gion will leave eventually. Does the boss plan to use this on all the female crew members of the Black Pearl Pirates?"

Kalifa furrowed her brows and muttered to herself, worrying that as a member of the Black Pearl Pirates, Rifan might secretly use the product on her, even though she didn't have any children. "What if this unexpectedly enables even the most unlikely couples to have children?"

Kalifa's thoughts began to take an odd turn. The idea of Rifan drinking the product she had created made her uneasy yet strangely excited. "If the boss truly consumed what I produced, it would be like he's my child. This feeling makes me curious."

But soon, Kalifa realized something was amiss. "Strange, what's wrong with me? Initially, I wanted to avoid any significant contact with the boss. Why am I now willing to let Rifan taste what I've produced? This must be some form of maternal instinct, but it feels unusual."

She considered whether her attitude had changed because she was accustomed to the crew or if she was influenced by Nojiko, who had taken on her role. "I shouldn't end up like Nojiko in the future."

Kalifa picked up Rifan's newly developed oil and fell into deep thought. After a while, she shook her head and made her way back to her workplace. "I'll just follow my instincts. After all, there's no escaping the boss in the future."

Kalifa murmured to herself.

On the other side, where Rifan and Gion are located, Gion asked Rifan cautiously, "Rifan, are you using some unusual substances on me?"

Rifan reassured her, "Don't worry, Gion. You can trust the medicines I've developed. So far, none of the medications and treatments I've researched for the benefit of the human body have proven harmful."

With nimble fingers, Rifan worked on Gion's back, offering a warm smile. Gion frowned slightly, still not entirely at ease with Rifan's intentions. However, considering her current situation, she had to let go of some of her concerns.

"Rifan, you mentioned earlier that you would help Robin with a serious class. Are you planning to help her with her training?" Gion asked.

Rifan's smile deepened, and he replied, "Why, do you want to gather more information? What do you have to offer in exchange this time, Gion?"

Gion let out a quiet sigh and said, "Rifan, even if I ask a few questions, can't it be for free? With my current condition, I can't promise to engage in activities I'm not comfortable with. Even if I did, it wouldn't be enjoyable for me, would it?"

Rifan raised an eyebrow and responded, "You know me quite well, Gion."

"Forget it, it doesn't hurt to tell you a little bit."

Rifan gave in, and he continued, "I am indeed helping Robin with her training. She didn't gain her current abilities for nothing."

When Gion received Rifan's response, a smile appeared on her face. 

"Could you tell me what aspect of her abilities you're helping her enhance?"

"Speaking of which, you are actually able to use the power of Flower-Flower Fruit, and naturally you can also give some help to its ability to develop fruit."

"Does it mean that you want to continue to help her develop Flower-Flower Fruit?"

"No, she has already developed Flower-Flower Fruit to a considerable extent.

"So, you're going to help her develop her Haki?"

"Her Armament Haki has reached her limit."

"As for Conqueror's Haki... it stands to reason that it has no way to develop enhancements through training."

"But you, Rifan, can let Mikita and you also master powerful Conqueror's Haki."

"...`I'm starting to think that you've mastered how to help your partner train their Conqueror's Haki. "

"Or, are you going to help Robin with her Observation Haki?"

Rifan remained silent. He understood the unique power of Haki and its potential implications. 

He didn't intend to say that Robin only lacked an "intermediate Conqueror's Haki Awakening Scroll" from awakening advanced Conqueror's and Conqueror's infusion.

And Robin's Observation Haki.

It has already reached the top level, reaching the level of being able to predict the future.

If Marine or other enemies know that Robin's Conqueror's Haki has reached this level.

Their attitude will definitely change a lot when they face off against Robin.

The difficulty Robin faces when confronting enemies may also increase.

therefore.

Unless Robin's power has reached an absolute level, the Black Pearl Pirates' power has reached an absolute level.

Otherwise, Rifan did not intend to easily disclose Robin's information to Gion.

If they want to know the strength of Robin's Haki, unless Robin's opponent uses his own strength to test it out.

Rifan gave a small smile and evaded her question. "I appreciate your curiosity, but you know I won't provide answers to your questions."

Hearing it, Gion understood that Rifan was not willing to share too much information about Robin's abilities so she stopped her questions. 

With her chin resting on her hands, she relaxed on the massage table under Rifan's skilled touch. The tension in her muscles gradually dissolved, and even the hidden injuries from her training started to heal.

As she sighed contentedly, she spoke again, "Rifan, it's a pity you became a pirate. Your advanced techniques could have made a successful massage parlour. I'd be a regular customer."

Gion sighed while speaking.

She was also thinking about how to pry Rifan's mouth open and get more information, or change another question.

But she didn't expect Rifan to answer her.

Rifan chuckled, "Well, I suppose I had a different calling. But since Robin will use what I taught her later anyway. I can reveal a little bit about what I was teaching her."

"To be honest, I saw potential in taijutsu in Robin."

"So I've been busy helping Robin practise martial arts recently."

Gion raised her eyebrows, and turned to Rifan in surprise.

And with her movements, the beautiful pair in front of her also appeared in front of Rifan.

The corner of Rifan's mouth raised.

Taking advantage of the situation, he raised his hand and grasped the two big melons in front of Gion.

this touch.

Immediately, the doubt that Gion was about to escape just now turned into an exclamation.

Although Gion is mentally prepared.

But her body shuddered from pleasure she didn't know exist.

And it made Gion speechless for a while.

It was only after Gion got used to it that she was able to talk to Rifan more calmy.

"Rifan, I don't quite understand why you're teaching Robin martial arts. Shouldn't her strength be primarily based on her Devil Fruit abilities and Haki?" Gion asked, still blushing.

At that moment, Gion couldn't help but think of how effortlessly Robin had used her devil fruit ability and Haki to defeat Smoothie easily.
