Chapter 95 – Kaya’s battle

"That woman managed to divert the cannonball Kaya sent flying into the sea. That's impressive."

"And she's so beautiful too."

"Dear Captain Arton, do you know her?"

Carina said to Arton with a meaningful look after seeing Alvida divert the cannonball into the sea.

Uta also looked at Arton curiously.

To them, a beautiful woman like Alvida, appearing beside Buggy, a brother of Red-Haired Shanks, must be someone Arton knew.

Moreover, Arton had likely created doujinshis or pin-up illustrations of her.

In other words, Alvida probably had a diary copy as well.

And it was highly likely that Arton would invite such a woman onto the ship.

"I do know her."

Arton nodded and said.

"Are you tempted by her?"

Carina asked with a smile.

"Tempted? No way, she doesn't interest me at all."

"Compared to her, you're much better, Carina."

"Of course, it would be even better if you could be a bit more generous."

Arton placed his hand on Carina's shoulder, smiling.

"Huh? You're not tempted by her?"

"Are you really Arton, or is someone pretending to be you?"

Carina blinked in surprise.

"Yeah, Arton, aren't you supposed to get excited when you see a beautiful girl?"

Uta nodded vigorously.

"Uta, that's slander."

"Be careful, I might sue you."

"Tell me, have I ever gotten excited around you?"

Arton turned to Uta, looking serious.

"Hmph, what do you think?"

Uta placed her hands on her hips, pouting at Arton.

Arton's diary often featured revealing photos of Uta.

Moreover, he had drawn so many doujinshis about Uta.

In such circumstances, Uta didn't believe that Arton had no feelings for her.

"You little brat, you're becoming more and more like Carina."

Arton flicked Uta's forehead.

Then, seeing Uta holding her forehead and looking at him with a resentful expression, he turned to face the Buggy Pirates.

"As far as I know, that Alvida used to be very fat."

"She became like this after eating the Slip-Slip Fruit."

"The Slip-Slip Fruit can give its user smooth skin and a perfect appearance."

"She deflected Buggy's cannonball earlier because her skin is incredibly smooth."

"Although she looks pretty now, it's all thanks to the Devil Fruit's effect."

"Just thinking about her previous appearance makes it hard for me to be interested in her."

Arton shook his head and said.

"Really? There's such a Devil Fruit?"

"In that case, wouldn't it be effortless to maintain a good figure?"

Uta looked at Alvida with some envy.

To become an idol, Uta always had to pay close attention to her appearance and figure.

For this, she was very careful with her diet.

Sometimes, she would silently endure when faced with foods she wanted to eat.

Now, hearing that eating the Slip-Slip Fruit could instantly give someone a perfect figure and appearance, how could Uta not feel envious?

"If you don't believe it, you can look for Alvida's old bounty poster."

"Then you'll understand me, Uta."

Arton smiled, letting go of Carina and Uta, and took a few steps forward.

"I'll go over first. Kaya hasn't had Tsunade's power for long."

"And she already had to block one of Buggy's special cannonballs."

"I'm worried she can't hold out to defeat everyone."

With that, Arton jumped towards the Buggy Pirates' ship.

The Buggy Pirates were busy dealing with Kaya's fierce attacks.

They didn't notice another person boarding the ship.

Arton looked at Kaya, who was in combat mode, and casually took a photo of her beating up Buggy's crew.

However, after seeing the photo, Arton raised his eyebrows.

[Photo: Encounter with the Buggy Pirates, Kaya's Battle.]

[As expected, after acquiring Tsunade's template, even without merging with her, she can fight on her own.]

[Although she's not very strong yet, she's more than capable of handling ordinary pirates.]

[But why does it seem like Kaya is a bit too excited?]

[Could it be that Kaya has a tendency towards violence?]

[That would be bad. Kaya having Tsunade's figure is enough; her personality shouldn't become like Tsunade's.]

[A cute personality combined with a sexy figure is the ultimate Kaya in my mind.]

[If she must have a fiery personality, let it only show in bed battles.]

Nojiko: "Such powerful strength! She shattered the deck with one punch!"

Nami: "That kind of power is stronger than an average fishman. Kaya has only had Tsunade's template for a short time!"

Vivi: "Is it because Arton mentioned Kaya's name multiple times in his diary before meeting her?"

Koala: "If I had such great power, my Fish-Man Karate would improve even further."

Belo Betty: "Where are you heading next, Arton?"

Gion: "Indeed, after obtaining a character template, even those who recently joined Arton can possess great power."

Kujaku: "Such people… if they don't join the Navy, it would not only be a loss for the Navy but could also bring great disaster to the Navy."

Uta and Carina noticed the content of Arton's diary, and then looked at Kaya, who was sweating and fighting with the pirates. For a moment, the two fell silent.

"Kaya will probably be shy when she sees this."

Carina said softly.

"Yeah, but isn't Kaya's shyness also quite cute?"

Uta smiled mischievously.

"That's true."

Carina nodded and smiled.

"So, do you want to continue?"

Kaya, with her fists clenched and a look of excitement, asked Buggy and Alvida in front of her.

After a while of fighting, besides Buggy and Alvida, no one else on Buggy's ship was still standing.

Although she was a bit tired, Kaya was already quite happy with what she had accomplished.

Moreover, during the battle, Kaya felt an inexplicable excitement.

It was as if her body, tormented by illness for many years, was craving more intense exercise.

And fighting was the exercise her body craved.

"Little girl, don't get too cocky."

"I admit your strength is remarkable. but it's useless against me."

"You should have felt it earlier."

Alvida rested her spiked club on her shoulder, smiling at Kaya.

Buggy squinted without speaking, but the occasional glint in his eyes showed he didn't plan to end the fight just yet.

"True, your skin is quite strange, but that doesn't mean I can't deal with it."

Kaya took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and then focused her chakra into her right hand.

Soon, a chakra scalpel formed.

"Let's see what you've got."

Alvida snorted coldly, moving swiftly towards Kaya.

She swung her massive spiked club down at Kaya's head.

A gleam flashed in Kaya's eyes as she quickly dodged to the side.

At the same time, she extended her hand, which held the chakra scalpel, and stabbed Alvida's arm.

Seeing this, Alvida couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

To her, no matter what attack Kaya used, it was impossible to hurt her with her smooth skin.

However, Alvida's expression changed drastically in the next moment.

"It hurts!"

Alvida's spiked club fell to the ground as she clutched her right arm where Kaya had struck, her face contorted in pain.

"What's wrong, Alvida?"

"With your ability, you shouldn't be hurt."

Buggy was about to join Alvida in attacking Kaya when he noticed Alvida's pained expression and looked over in confusion.

"Buggy, there's something wrong with this woman."

"I feel like the muscles in my arm are severed."

Cold sweat streamed down Alvida's face as she looked at Kaya with dread.

Since obtaining her Devil Fruit power, she hadn't felt pain in a long time.

Though she didn't know what Kaya had done, the fact that Kaya could sever her arm muscles meant Kaya could potentially kill her.

For the first time in a long while, Alvida felt a surge of fear.

"Muscles severed? Is it this woman's Devil Fruit ability?"

"You! What did you do?"

Buggy yelled at Kaya, his face angry.

This woman had not only kicked away his special Buggy cannonball but had also wreaked havoc on his pirate crew.

Buggy was now extremely furious.

"Hmph, do you think I'll tell you... urgh!"

Kaya proudly lifted her head, about to say something, when a wave of weakness suddenly swept over her.

In an instant, Tsunade's mode dissipated.

The diamond mark on her forehead vanished, and her long blonde hair reverted to its original short length.

With Tsunade's features disappearing, Kaya's body wobbled, nearly collapsing on the deck.

"Her appearance changed?"

"Did her power disappear?"

Buggy's eyes lit up.

Although he didn't know what had happened to Kaya, it didn't stop him from feeling delighted.

However, just as he was about to move towards Kaya,

He noticed a stranger had suddenly appeared beside her.

"Are you alright, Kaya?"

Arton, holding Kaya's waist, asked.
