Chapter 87: As expected, I can only do this myself
"My name is Kalifa. I will be working under Masa-sama today. Pleased to meet you."
Kalifa appeared like a professional secretary, impeccable, without any mistakes, and even elegant.
As for the trace of wounds and anything, all of them had completely disappeared, but her legs were a little weak, so she wished to sit down soon.
Nevertheless, Carina, Perona, and Brook stared at Masa silently, thinking that this guy worked fast!
Yes, after that night, Kalifa quickly quit her secretary job and CP9 directly, working under Masa without hesitation. Everything had happened; it was too late to fix anything, and as for her comrades, unlike in the original story, they weren't that close as they were just working in the same place, so she didn't care much, even if they died.
As for quitting the CP9, it was even simpler since, as she threw everything away, no one could contact her, and now, she was as good as his woman, especially when she heard his plan to become an admiral.
With him, her future was as good as complete.
As for Iceberg, Kalifa didn't care.
If there was a problem, it was the fact that there were Carina and Perona, as Kalifa wished to be Masa's number one, which made the two snort, thinking that this woman was so naive.
Still, how could Kalifa be okay and appear in perfect health even after what happened last night?
The reason for that was all due to Masa.
Frankly, Masa had several ways to heal someone: two methods from Masa of Mahouka, and one method was from Masa DxD.
In the world of Mahouka, Masa was capable of using healing magic, and this magic allowed him to heal someone, but naturally, this healing wasn't complete, a trick, or even a fake since as long as the effect of the magic disappeared, then the wounds would reappear once again.
However, this magic could give them time to go to the hospital to heal themselves.
The second method was by using the new magic created by Masa that could manipulate the electrical signal on his or others' body control to increase the speed of cell division, which gave him a high-speed regeneration ability.
Naturally, while this method was good, rapid cell division would consume a lot of energy, especially for those whose cells were rapidly dividing to heal their wounds, and for Kalifa, who was "badly" injured, this method wasn't suitable.
So, the only way for Masa to heal her was through the method of Masa DxD.
Yes, as a devil, there was no way for Masa to heal others as a devil had no such an ability, but many forgot that he was a master of "Touki," a senjutsu that made him able to manipulate his life force, and using this technique, he could heal others.
Unfortunately, while he could heal others, the disadvantage was that he needed to touch the target so he could heal those who were wounded, but considering how "heavy" the injury of Kalifa was, he decided to take a dramatic measure by using "bedroom method," which allowed her to heal faster, without any aftereffects, and he was glad that he was decisive with his method since she was all fine now.
Still, whether Perona or Carina knew it or not, at least they had more help now.
As for Brook, he didn't bother to think anymore and just played music to have fun.
Watching this, Masa wondered whether he should make his record company make Brook into a superstar like in the original story.
Nevertheless, his schedule for today was clear, and that was to see the design ship drawn by Iceberg.
Still, while Carina, Perona, and Brook joined Masa, Kalifa decided to stay since she had just quit her job, so wasn't it awkward for her to return to Iceberg's office as Masa's woman?
Kalifa didn't care, though, but Masa felt it troublesome to explain everything, so he didn't bring her.
Nevertheless, Iceberg, who appeared to be a mess as he hadn't slept, showed his blueprint of Masa's ship. Yes, his secretary had just quit all of a sudden, but he never forgot about his job.
"Wow..."
"It looks good."
"Elegant."
Whether it was Carina, Perona, or Brook, they had to admit that Iceberg did a good job with the ship design. It was just a design, yet in their minds, they could imagine how humongous and luxurious it would be when it became a reality.
However, the one who made the decision was Masa, and when Masa was all silent, Iceberg asked nervously, "What do you think?"
"....."
It was good, Masa thought, but that was it, and he knew well that it would become like this.
There was nothing wrong with Iceberg's ship, and it was also the best of the best in the world of One Piece.
Or rather, it could even be compared to the ship of the king of pirates, Gol D. Roger.
However—
'I guess this is the limit, huh?'
After all, even if Iceberg was one of the most genius shipwrights in the world, he was being limited by the current technology in this world.
Frankly, the 100 years of void had caused a lot of loss to the technology, or rather, Masa wouldn't be surprised that 800 years ago, there was a television, metal ship, and many others that one could only see in the modern world.
If there was a reason why Vegapunk learned about history, somehow, Masa felt like this guy just wanted to develop the technology of the past and invent it in the current era.
Still, the talk about Vegapunk aside, Masa wasn't satisfied with the ship. He was a man of the modern world, so naturally, he wanted to have modern comforts, especially when Masa of Mahouka had shared with him various blueprints of gorgeous ships along with various tools and the necessary knowledge to build a ship.
As Masa was in deep thought, no one said anything, and he waited for his answer until—
"Is it possible for me to rent a deck?"
"....." Iceberg was dumbfounded and realized a possibility that he wanted to deny, yet even so, he asked, "...do you want to build your own ship?"
"Yes." Masa nodded. "I will make my own ship."
Yes, instead of leaving it to the hands of others, he had made up his mind to build his own ship.
Anyway, he had knowledge and technology. As for the machinery, he could create it later, and for the manpower, he could control people or use the ability of Vapula to create an army of humanoid cats to help him build his own ships.
Still, if he had that Devil Fruit, everything would be easier, he thought.
However, Masa chose the Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Leopard, so he could only bear the consequences.
"Okay."
Unexpectedly, Iceberg nodded, giving permission to rent a dock directly. "You can borrow the dock, manpower, tools, and everything. The price is here."
"Okay."
Masa didn't care about the money, but Iceberg asked, "Is it possible for me to see the building process?"
"What do you think?"
"....." Iceberg.
No way.
Everyone had their own secrets, and naturally, if there was a reason why the Water 7 could flourish, it was all due to its shipbuilding technology, and it was impossible for them to share it with others as it would mean that it would make their competitors stronger.
"Let me tell you that I will kill those who try to enter my dock, okay?"
Gulp!
"...I will remind everyone."
Unlike before, Masa released his aura, which made Iceberg quickly erase all of the bad thoughts within his heart. Those with smart minds wished to get better, and they were thirsty for knowledge, and to do that, they would do anything.
Masa didn't really want to kill Iceberg and the others, but if they forced themselves, trying to steal his technology, then goodbye.
Well, he might have stolen Franky's technology, but he was strong, so even if what he did was wrong, no rules could bind him.
In the world of One Piece, or any world, it was all the same.
The weak were like this, after all, so watching Masa leave, Iceberg could only slump on his seat as he let out a helpless sigh, trying to kill his curiosity so he wouldn't lose his life.
Yet, could he?
However, no matter what Iceberg thought, it had nothing to do with all of them since no matter how Iceberg tried, it was meaningless; why?
It was because Iceberg and all the people on this island were weak.
"So, you will build your own ship?"
"Yup."
"How?"
"Aren't you going to need a lot of people? How long do you need to build it?"
"It shouldn't take a long time."
"Really?"
"Yup."
Then, suddenly, all the cats on the Water 7 gathered around him, and somehow, all of them grew and evolved, causing Carina, Perona, and Brook to almost drop their jaws.
"I have a lot of helpers, after all."
Still, Masa hoped for Masa DxD to evolve the power of the Neko Neko no Mi Model: Leopard as soon as possible, or else, this Devil Fruit was really a waste of space.
---
Yeah, this Devil Fruit is a waste.
Sorry, but I will try to make it powerful, and I have thought of a way to do it.
By the way, it will be a world of DxD tomorrow, followed by the world of the fourth Masa.
As for Mahouka, it will be after that.
