New World, Hanas Island.
At the edge of a huge rock, Sugar's fair and delicate right hand pressed on Sephiroth's trouser leg. The moment she did so, she activated the ability of the Childish Fun Fruit, wanting to turn the young man into a toy.
However...
"Little sister, why are you touching me?
You can't do that kind of thing... You are too young!"
Sephiroth pretended to be puzzled. He lowered his head and looked down at the green-haired girl who had her hands on his trouser legs.
Sephiroth: (._.)
Sugar: (?д?) Ah ba! Ah ba!
Monet: (゜▽゜;)
When Sucrose looked up, she saw that Sephiroth had turned completely black!
The powerful and dark armament domineering covered every inch of the young man's skin from top to bottom, without any flaws, directly offsetting the power of the Childhood Fruit.
Sucrose's ability, like Perona's, is very buggy. Once you are hit, you will basically be at the mercy of others.
but...
The negative effects caused by the various fancy skills of the Devil Fruit users can all be offset by the powerful domineering!
As long as you don't encounter a very buggy fruit awakening ability, basically nothing will go wrong...
"You just tried to turn me into a toy, didn't you...?"
Sephiroth squatted down and put his left hand on Sugar's shoulder. The smile on his face gradually became more kind, which scared the latter so much that his body trembled.
"Did you see…?
If I hit you in the face with my fist as big as a clay pot, I wonder how long you will cry...?"
Gulp!
"I…I…"
Hearing this, Shatang swallowed hard, an expression of wanting to cry revealed on her face, and she subconsciously wanted to step back, but the young man's hand was on her shoulder, preventing her from stepping back.
Seeing this, Monet, who was standing not far from the two of them, quickly took a few steps, knelt down in front of Sephiroth, and begged in a low voice:
"Please! Please don't hurt my sister!"
"Haha! If I had just been tricked by your sister and turned into a toy...
So you two shouldn't have this attitude now, right?" Sephiroth sneered.
"..." x2
For a moment, the two sisters fell silent, not knowing how to respond.
Noticing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly depressing, Sugar could only sob and say aggrievedly:
"Brother, please forgive us!
I am willing to surrender, and I will do anything you ask me to do..."
"I remember you were cadres of the Don Quixote family, right…?
Why are you on this island?"
Seeing how soft the two girls were and how they surrendered at the slightest touch, Sephiroth immediately lost interest in teasing them and started asking questions that concerned him.
Life and death are all in the hands of others, so Sucrose and Monet could only answer Sephiroth's questions honestly and tell him everything about how they went from being cadres of the Donquixote family to members of the Beasts Pirates.
"I see..."
Sephiroth stood up and looked at the two girls. He pondered for a while before continuing:
"How about you two be my subordinates from now on?"
Hearing this, the two sisters looked at each other and exchanged glances before they spoke:
"Yes, sir!" x2
Anyway, they are working for others wherever they go. This is the third time, so the two sisters don't have much resistance.
Seeing this, Sephiroth showed a smile on his face and nodded with satisfaction.
Sugar's ability of the Childlike Fun Fruit allows him to turn others into toys and enslave them. Although it is useless to him, he doesn't want this ability to be lost in the world...
As for asking Sugar to work for him by making toys...?
You can, but you don't have to!
Instead of using the power of devil fruits to exploit others, it is better to use capital to exploit them. As long as the method is appropriate, the latter will be more stable and long-term than the former...
Sephiroth released his left hand that was on Sucrose's shoulder. He stood up, turned and walked into the huge pit. He took out several life cards from the pocket of Quinn's clothes, and found two life cards with Sucrose and Monet's names on them.
The names written on the other life cards were all people he didn't know very well. He only knew their names and appearances, and was not very clear about other things.
However, he still threw all these life cards into his personal space in case he might need them in the future.
After doing all this, he returned to the two women and opened a space door.
......
Angel Island, slope-top villa.
In a corner of the living room, there is an iron cage with a blood-red bat inside.
On a long sofa made of white clouds, Maria in black, wearing a loose blue kimono, was half leaning on the armrest of the sofa, holding a document in her hand, flipping through it slowly.
What was written above were all daily affairs submitted by Sephiroth's younger brothers in Wano Country.
Sephiroth was generally too lazy to deal with such routine transactional work decisions. He simply handed the decision over to Black Maria. He was only responsible for controlling the general direction, while the details were left to his subordinates.
On the side of the sofa, Hiyori Kozuki was sitting on a small stool. She was using her fair and delicate hands to give Black Maria a foot massage.
The girl couldn't understand why she had to continue to serve Black Maria like before, even though she had already become Sephiroth's woman. Sephiroth also acquiesced to this matter...
They are all maids, so why should Black Maria always be superior to her!
Is it because Black Maria knows more tricks than her...?
Sudden enlightenment.jpg
It's decided! I must learn more skills to serve men and make my master fall into my gentle embrace... Hiyori Kozuki thought happily in her heart, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
Black Maria first glanced at the green-haired girl who was massaging her out of the corner of her eye, and then she shifted her attention back to the contents of the document.
Kozuki Hiwa, this short-sighted woman, spends all day thinking about how to flatter her master and win her favor, so as to replace her and surpass her.
However...
However, Kozuki Hiyori didn't know that her master had already known her identity as a member of the Kozuki family, and kept her around just as a side move in case of future need.
Therefore, no matter how scheming she is or how hard she tries to win favor from her master, he will always be a little wary of her in his heart!
Sephiroth actually doesn't hate scheming women, like Black Maria...
Although she is scheming, she is very self-aware, so her starting point is always to prioritize Sephiroth's interests, rather than putting her own interests first like Kozuki Hiyori.
Besides, Black Maria knows very well when to act cute and when to act silly.
When Sephiroth needed her to do something, she would never pretend to be confused, but would do her best to do it, which gradually earned her recognition and trust.
A woman who is only beautiful in appearance but has no substance or ability, no matter how beautiful she is, is ultimately just a vase!
After a long time, men will always get bored and annoyed.
Kozuki Hiyori can't even see this, so what can she use to argue with her...?
This guy should just be a maid serving tea and water!
Swish!
A thin crimson line cut through the void, accompanied by waves of space ripples, and a space door quietly opened.
Sephiroth, Sucrose, and Monet walked out of the space gate.
Seeing this, Kozuki Hiyori immediately stood up, took a few quick steps, threw herself into his arms and arched her back, while Black Maria stood up from a half-lying position and bowed slightly to him.
"Welcome home, Master!" x2
"Um!"
Sephiroth raised his hand and touched the girl's soft hair in his arms, then nodded in agreement.
Then, after he released the blood-red bat in the cage to the other side of the door, he walked to Black Maria and sat on the sofa.
Seeing this, Black Maria quickly picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of black tea into the exquisite ceramic cup, and placed it in front of Sephiroth. She then tentatively asked:
"Master...who are these two sisters...?"
"They are Sandu and Monet, my new subordinates...
They stayed here from now on.
As for work... just be a handyman here for a while!"
"OK!"
Black Maria's eyes flickered, as if she understood something, but she agreed very readily.
"Where's Yamato…?
Where did she go?"
"At this moment, she should still be wearing a swimming ring and learning how to use the Viba..."
"Eh!? Have someone keep an eye on her, don't let her fall into the white sea and drown..."
Hearing this, Safiros sighed and shook his head helplessly.
Then, he simply gave Black Maria some instructions and asked her to handle it.
In the end, he asked Sugar to lift the curse on her own initiative, freeing all the people who had been turned into toys and enslaved, and turning them back into toys.
After doing all this, he left the villa and went to Angel Island, the livestock farm he used specifically to replenish his vitality.
After he quickly replenished his reserve vitality inside, he returned to Hanas Island...
