-Yotsuba Islands, Shells Town.

3rd POV*

Ririka immediately invited Cedric's group who are still wondering where Nami is. They entered the bar where Ririka served them some drinks, she also gave them food to eat. Cedric and Nojiko didn't deny the offerings so they just ate to their hearts content. Ririka watched them at the side with a smile on her face, she wasn't expecting them to really go and solved Captain Morgan's problem. She thought he was just bluffing trying to get on her good side so he could get an discount but it seems like her view was too narrow. Ririka took a breath and bowed infront of Cedric, "Thank you very much! Because of you two, the town will now be free from the clutches of that crazy Captain" she said not hesitatng anymore. The other people already checked and confirmed that Captain Morgan really died, they have nothing to fear anymore.

"Well, its nothing. I also got something from it anyway" Cedric shrugged her gratitude off, he is more focused on the ability he gained from that wish. "Is there anything I could give to thank you? Please, we still wish to thank you" Ririka asked smiling at them. The two was about to refuse when a wild Nami suddenly appeared. "Then make the sake free for us! We need a lot of them!" Nami said happily as she carried a bag full of beri behind her. "Nami! Where have you been?" Nojiko went to her, she helped her carry the bag which is pretty heavy. "I didn't expect that they have this much in their vault! They are really wealthy" Nami smiled patting the bag. Cedric turned to Ririka who has a wry smile on her face, "Please ignore what she just said. Instead can you give us some discount? We would appreciate it" Cedric said making Nami protest, "Hey! You're making me look like a bad guy!" Nami complained.

Ririka shook her head and smiled at Cedric ignoring Nami, "Don't worry, I am not concern about that. I was just surprised by the direct attitude of your lover which is quite different from the two of you" Ririka said as Nami and Nojiko froze. Nojiko raised her eyebrow at Nami who gained a blush on her face while muttering the word Lover many times. Cedric was silent but Nojiko noticed the corner of his lips twitching indicating that he was taken by surprise with it. Ririka also realized what is happening as she gave them an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry. I thought you were lovers, please forgive me for misunderstanding it" Nami snapped from her stupor and smiled at Ririka, "Well you are not wrong. He is indeed my lover!" Nami walked to Cedric and patter his shoulder. She got closer to his ears and whispered something, "5,000,000 beri for this"

Cedric deadpanned at her but didn't reject her words. He know that the payment is just a way for Nami to escape embarrassment. "Yes, yes" Cedric replied nonchalantly which infuriated Nami. "How many barrels of sake do you want? I'll prepare it right away" Ririka asked. "Then bring hundreds!" Nami shouted leaving Nojiko with no choice but to pinch her ears, "Ouch! Nojiko, stop!" she complained. "Can you give us 5? That would be sufficient since I will be the only one who would drink on our ship" Cedric ignored their antics and answered Ririka's question honestly. He then turned his attention to the system panel infront of him, it has been ringing the whole time now, he can't ignore it anymore. "Still, to think that it would give something like this for a simple wish, is the system too generous or something?" Cedric muttered reading the screen.

[Ding! Congratulations host for completing the first wish!]

[Ding! Since the character who made the wish is not that significant, the rewards will be proportional!]

[Ding! You gained Kagune (Tokyo Ghoul)]

[Ding! Fortunately host, the whole town supported the wish of the individual 'Ririka'. The reward will be adjusted..]

[Ding! You gained 3x Kagune (Tokyo Ghoul)]

Cedric raised his eyebrow at the reward given to him. He is wondering how the Kagune will appear or why the system gave him 3 of it. 'System, what is the use of 3 Kagunes? Can I perhaps use 3 different kinds of it in my single body?' Cedric thought asking the system a question.

[Ding! Negative host. Abilities and items given by the system can be gifted towards the companion of host!]

That was an amazing news for Cedric, he now doesn't have to worry about the safety of the two as long as he strengthen them enough to protect themselves. Cedric smiled a little which was noticed by Nami as she gasped loudly, "What happened?! Are you sick?" she worriedly placed her hand on his head making him shiver, he hurriedly back away from her who pouted. "Really, what happened? It is rare for you to smile, something big must have happened, let us in!" Nami stopped fooling around and pressed him about the matter. "Nothing, I just gained something good. I'll show you later" he answered her easily. "Okay, I'll look forward to it!" Nami smiled happily. Ririka finally prepared the 5 barrels of sake so Cedric and his group left the town.

They are now in their ship as it sailed in the sea. They are already far away from Yostuba Island when Nojiko realized something important. "Cedric.. why are we still using a marine ship?" she asked with a wry smile on her face. Nami and Cedric were stunned hearing her question, they then realized that their initial objective in the town wasn't achieved at all. "Ahh! What will we do now? What if the marines took notice of it and branded us as criminals?" Nami panicked pacing back and forth. "Nami, I think its too late for that now" Nojiko smiled happily at Nami as she handed her something. Nami was suspicious about her sister's bright smile but still accepted the paper. Once her eyes laid upon whats in it, it couldn't help but widen itself. "What is this!? Why do I have a bounty?!" she exclaimed.

"What do you mean? You are a pirate after all" Cedric said as if stating the obvious. "That's not what I meant! I mean, I know I am a pirate now but I haven't done anything to gain a huge bounty like this.. Oh no, the pirate hunters will be chasing our heads now" Nami grabbed her hair, she is getting worried because even though she is used to the sea, she knows that she is rather weak and could only rely at Cedric. "Well, I already thought about this thing and have something for you two. It will help you protect yourself" Cedric said smiling at the two of them who got in dazed. "Cedric.. you're starting to change huh" Nojiko couldn't help but feel happy about this change. "What will you give us? Is it Beri?!" Nami asked excited with her eyes turning into Beri sign. 'System, please gift them the two Kagune I have' Cedric thought commanding the system.

[Ding! Executing command!]

Nami and Nojiko suddenly felt warm energy coursing in their body, "Ahh~!" they shouted as they sense their whole body changing somehow, strength started dwelling on their muscles boosting their confidence. The process took long for their senses but only 5 seconds have passed in the real world, it was otherworldy experience for them. "C-Cedric! What is this energy?!" Nami asked with Cedric looking away from them, they were too erotic right now that he might lose control of himself if he keep staring at it. "I have no clue either" Cedric responded, "Huh?! Aren't you the one who gave it to us?" Nojiko was surprised by his answer, it also made them worry that something bad might happen. Unknown to the two, a weird thing started sprouting in their back, it was a dark red thing that looks like blood.

Nami has 4 huge butterfly wings along with two long flat line between the pair of wings. Cedric stared at it with amazement knowing who owns that Kagune, she might not have the greatest power but Cedric considered the Kagune a lot of potential. Nojiko on the other hand only has two beautiful shiny wings on her back. It glittered blue which enhance its beautiful performance. The two was confused by the satisfaction on Cedric's eyes so they asked him a question. "Is there something wrong? Anyway, how come I suddenly feel stronger?!" Nami said. Cedric didn't say anything and just pointed at their backs. Nojiko and Nami looked behind them and shrieked when they saw what was behind them. "Hiiikk!! W-What is this?" Nojiko asked slowly poking them, she can't help but feel it is connected to her. "Try moving it" Cedric said gesturing them.

The two deadpanned at him but trusted him, they pointed their focus to the weird things and was stunned when it followed their commands. "A-A-Amazing!! What is this?! I feel like its part of my body! I can move it naturally!" Nami gave an enthusiastic reaction but Nojiko on the other hand felt concern because she feels hungry even though they just ate. She is afraid of the side effects of this thing. Nami began controlling the wings trying to make it attack, she gasped from how strong and fast the thing was. "Marvelous" Cedric muttered. "Do you feel anything aside from being strong and that other limb of yours?" Cedric asked them. Nojiko raised her hand, "Um, is it bad that I am already hungry even though we just ate?" she pointed out her concern making Cedric widen his eye, he really forgot about the different taste buds of the ghouls.

Cedric made a small cut on his hand causing blood to pour, he waited for their reaction and was confused when they didn't drool to it. "What are you doing?!" Nojiko went to his side and panicked seeing his blood. She was about to get some clothes to patch it up when she saw the crazy rate of it regenerating. She is not the only one surprise, even Cedric himself wasn't aware that he has this kind of trait. He remembered that Big Mom doesn't possess any healing or regenerative factor, now he is getting curious about his own father. Because based on Big Mom's personality, she won't chose anything weak to mate with, she wish to get the strongest genes on the sea. "Now, I am getting worried about your body. What the hell is this?" Nami said pinching his skin, checking him out. 'Thank god, they don't crave flesh. System, what is wrong here?' he went to the most reliable? partner he have right now.

[Ding! Host, the system terminated all things that could be deemed weakness by the system. Their Rc Cells can get stronger by eating different kind of monsters, the stronger it is the more powerful they will become!]

Cedric was relieved to hear the system's words. He deemed it now reliable. "Congratulations you two, the kagune you gained are pretty powerful" Cedric gave them a light smile which made them happy. "I see, the thing on our back is called Kagune huh? Can you please explain more about it?" Nojiko caressed her wings feeling emotional about it. "Well.. should we try it uses first?" Cedric said as the three readied theirselves.
