Chapter 51: No, You Came at Just the Right Time!
Rumble...
The sound of thunder echoed continuously above the Alubarna Royal Palace, causing pedestrians outside to constantly look up at the sky.
The sun was scorching, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky, so why was there the sound of thunder?
If anyone listened carefully, they would discover the thunder wasn't coming from the sky, but from within the royal palace.
Crackle...
In the open area behind the palace, the sound of electric currents, like the chirping of a thousand birds, rang out continuously.
A blue-white figure could be seen, as if teleporting, constantly appearing in various places in the open area.
With each change in position, blue-white electric light would burst out from her body.
Sometimes the electric light was like a laser, drawing a straight line in the air. Other times, it would take the shape of animals like leopards, dragons, and birds, blasting all the targets set up in the open area to dust, leaving behind craters like those from cannonballs and scorched marks of various sizes on the ground.
"Not only does it have instantaneous movement, but it also has incredibly powerful and fast long-range attacks. It truly lives up to its name as the strongest Logia ability!"
On the balcony of a room in the palace, Carina leaned on the railing, propping her chin with one hand, watching Nami below as she familiarized herself with her fruit's abilities and developed various techniques, sighing in admiration.
Link sat on the balcony sofa, reading a book as he said, "The Rumble-Rumble Fruit is called the strongest not just because of its powerful attacks, but because of its versatility."
"Besides speed and destructive power, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit has an ability involving electric waves, which will give Nami astonishing sensory perception, allowing her to easily eavesdrop on all sounds within the range of two small islands."
"If Nami awakens her Observation Haki, she can merge her Haki with the electric waves to form a 'God's-eye view' that can peer over two islands."
"The lightning of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit can be destructive high-voltage electricity, but it can also be used for electrotherapy to heal the body and develop its potential."
"With this ability, no matter how she trains her body in the future, she won't be left with any hidden injuries."
"Electrotherapy can improve her digestive ability, allowing her body to absorb more energy. It won't be too much for her, and more importantly, she won't have to worry about getting fat."
Hearing the last sentence, Carina's beautiful eyes lit up. "Really? I can eat whatever I want and not get fat?"
"Of course."
Link nodded with great certainty.
"Tsk... Now I'm even more envious."
Watching Nami below, who was playing with her powers like a child with a beloved new toy, Carina couldn't help but click her tongue. She suddenly asked Link, "Link, is my Devil Fruit a Logia type too?"
As if sensing Carina's complex emotions, Link finally put down his book, looked up at her, and beckoned. "You want to know? Come here."
Carina walked over curiously.
Before she could even squat down next to him, Link suddenly grabbed her small hand and pulled her into his lap.
Sitting in Link's lap for the first time, Carina's face turned red at a visible rate. The usually bold girl suddenly lowered her head, her delicate body stiffening.
But soon, Carina's body relaxed.
Just as he did with Vivi and Nami, Link placed a hand on Carina's head, stroking it gently as he said softly, "I gave the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to Nami because that Devil Fruit has the highest compatibility with her."
"Nami's body only needs to feel the sea breeze to know the climate changes hundreds of nautical miles away."
"With such a talent, once she becomes a Rumble-Rumble Fruit user, she can easily rule the skies."
After speaking, Link leaned close to Carina's ear and whispered, "The Devil Fruit I've prepared for you is actually a rarer ability than a Logia."
As Link's voice and the warmth of his breath reached her ear, Carina's ears instantly turned red. Her body felt a tingling numbness, as if she had come into close contact with Nami's electricity.
Hearing Link's words, Carina whispered, "I'm not jealous, just a little envious."
After she spoke, Carina looked up at Link with an expectant expression. "Really? My Devil Fruit is rarer than a Logia?"
"Mhm."
Link smiled and nodded, teasing, "If you don't want it, I can prepare a Logia fruit for you instead."
"No, I want the one you prepared for me. I believe it must be the Devil Fruit with the highest compatibility for me."
Carina immediately shook her head. Then, looking at Link's handsome face, she suddenly, like Nami, mustered her courage and gave him a firm kiss before turning to flee the scene.
Receiving the girl's affection, the corners of Link's mouth turned up slightly, feeling extremely pleased with himself.
After nearly half a year of 'watering,' it was finally time for the harvest.
Dealing with these traditional 2D girls, being kind is indeed the best choice...
No wonder the vast majority of protagonists in those harem anime are the kind and gentle type.
They aren't simps, they never make the first move, yet they are always surrounded by a crowd of beauties.
The gentle approach is the GOAT!
Nami played below for a long time, only teleporting back when her stamina was nearly depleted.
By this time, it was dusk.
Vivi and the other girls, who had taken Nojiko out shopping, also returned from outside.
In the evening, Link's group attended a banquet prepared for them by Cobra.
After dinner, Link went with Cobra to soak in the royal family's private bathhouse, chatting casually for a while.
At night, Link stood on his room's balcony, admiring the brilliant starry sky that was hard to see in his original world, while simultaneously receiving intelligence from his Wood Clone.
After a long while, Link returned to his room and lay down on the soft bed.
Shhh—
Just as Link was about to close his eyes to rest, a blue-white light suddenly illuminated the dimly lit room.
The light appeared directly above Link's bed.
The light condensed, quickly transforming into a young woman in pajamas who landed on top of Link.
Looking at Nami, who had her hands planted on either side of his head and whose beautiful eyes were filled with a soft light, Link teased with a smile, "Coming into a boy's room so late at night can be a dangerous thing, you know."
"Oh? How dangerous?"
Nami asked with a grin, leaning her head close to Link's until their foreheads and noses were almost touching, their eyes the only thing in each other's vision.
Link didn't waste words and went straight for it.
Then, their positions were reversed.
"Um... am I interrupting?"
Just as the 'flames of war' were about to escalate, a voice suddenly reached Link and Nami's ears.
Looking in the direction of the voice, on the moonlit balcony, stood a beautiful silhouette formed from sand.
Vivi was watching them, her face flushed red.
Nami was so embarrassed she was about to teleport away, but Link's next words stopped her in her tracks, leaving her stunned and wide-eyed.
Link sat up and extended a hand towards Vivi, saying, "No, you're just in time."
His arm transformed into extending branches, like a large hand reaching out from the darkness, and pulled her in.
The recently extinguished flames of war were reignited once more.
