Chapter 50: Scarlet Dumbfounded, Hancock Succeeded
"You... you're Robin?!"
A few days later, when Kahn's gang returned to the flower fields in Dressrosa, Scarlett, who rushed over after receiving the news, was suddenly dumbfounded. She opened her red lips and pointed at Robin, who was now 17 centimetres taller than her, her beautiful face full of disbelief.
"Ara ara..."
Robin, who hides a mischievous streak, seemed very satisfied with Scarlett's reaction. She greeted her with a smile: "Your Highness, hello... let's get to know each other again. My name is Nico Robin, and I am the head maid of the Master's household."
"Then... then you shouldn't be..."
When Scarlett saw this tall beauty before her, she couldn't believe it was the same petite Robin from a few days ago. Her gaze shifted to the woman beside Robin, who surpassed her in appearance, figure, and temperament, completely overshadowing her. This woman, gentle and obedient in front of Kahn, still maintained an air of arrogance.
"As you can imagine, I am Boa Hancock."
Hancock flicked her hair back and placed her hand on her waist, her dark blue eyes carefully examining Scarlett. A complacent smile appeared on her face. Indeed, she thought to herself, I am more beautiful. Now, she was the most beautiful girl in the Master's heart, and she didn't have to worry about this vixen abducting their Master and becoming their mistress.
"Then you must be Mary and Sonia!"
After confirming the identities of the two dark-haired beauties, Scarlett looked at Mary and Sonia, whose hair colours differed slightly. She knew who they were without needing an introduction. Turning to the unchanged Kahn, she quickly asked, "Kahn, what's going on?"
In just over a week, the four petite girls had suddenly become adults. Three of them had turned into tall beauties. If Kahn hadn't remained the same, Scarlett would have thought she had somehow travelled through time and space to a few years in the future.
"We encountered a Devil Fruit user on our journey," Kahn explained half-truthfully. "She has the Paramecia Ripe Ripe Fruit, which can instantly ripen and age anything it touches."
"I read in the 'Devil Fruit Illustrated Book' that this ability can also ripen children into adults and turn adults into old people."
"After some consideration, Robin and the others asked the fruit user to ripen their biological age to eighteen, which is what you see now."
Hearing this, Scarlett exclaimed in amazement, "In this world, there is such an incredible ability?!"
"Don't be surprised. There are many Devil Fruits with unique abilities similar to the Paramecia Ripe Ripe Fruit," Kahn replied. "For example, the Paramecia Regression Fruit can reverse the age of any creature by twelve years with a single touch. With a few touches, that creature would disappear from this world."
"Incredible. Is this the secret treasure of the sea?" Scarlett's worldview seemed to expand as she learned more.
The same was true for Robin, Hancock, Mary, and Sonia. They hadn't expected that besides the Paramecia Ripe Fruit, there existed such a powerful ability as the Paramecia Regression Fruit.
Kahn also knew of another ability that could transform human bodies into children and old people—Jewelry Bonney's ability from the "Worst Generation". Unfortunately, when Kahn first arrived in this world, the final chapter of the story had just begun, and Jewelry Bonney's fruit ability hadn't been revealed yet. From the "Devil Fruit Illustrated Book" he had accessed, he couldn't find a Devil Fruit that matched Jewelry Bonney's ability.
Either the "Devil Fruit Illustrated Book" that Kahn read is not detailed, or Jewelry Bonney's Devil Fruit is an unknown type. However, Kahn leans towards the former. After all, those undercover agents who needed to run errands were not qualified to read the full version of the "Devil Fruit Illustrated Book."
"By the way, have you persuaded His Majesty King Riku to let you go to sea with us?" Kahn asked Scarlett, shifting the topic as she was still recovering from the shock.
"Uh-huh..." Scarlett immediately put everything behind her and said excitedly, "My father has agreed to let me and Viola leave the New World with you."
"Very well, then you can go back and prepare with Viola."
Knowing that Viola would be joining them, too, Kahn was slightly pleased. This way, he could take the opportunity to gain Viola's favour, borrow her Paramecia Glare-Glare Fruit, and proceed with his next steps ahead of schedule.
So, Kahn told Scarlett, "We will leave Dressrosa tomorrow. If you and Viola have things to take with you, you can ask Mary to go to the palace and help store them in the castle."
"Hmm...I'll go back now and tell Viola the good news."
Scarlett nodded repeatedly and was about to leave impatiently. Then, as if remembering something, she paused, turned around, came to Mary, held Mary's hand, and said with a smile, "Mary, come with me now. I have a lot of things to take away."
"Yes, Master."
Seeing Mary look over, Kahn nodded.
So, Mary left their ship with Scarlett and headed for the King's Palace.
After the two girls left, Kahn said to Robin, "Robin, go to the Tontatta Kingdom and bring Mansherry here."
"I see."
Robin nodded slightly, stepped off the ship, and set off towards Green Bit.
"Sonia, go make a cup of black tea for the Master."
"Yes, sister."
With Mary and Robin gone, only Kahn, Hancock, and Sonia remained on the lawn deck.
As a sister, Hancock let Sonia go into the cabin to make tea. Hancock then sat next to Kahn and, under his slightly wary gaze, stretched out her hands to hug his neck, placing her head on his shoulder.
Imitating Robin's movements, Hancock gently massaged Kahn's head and smiled, "Master, is there anything you want me to do?"
"No need. You are the head maid of battle, and you need to focus on improving your strength."
Enjoying the massage, Kahn quickly relaxed, closed his eyes, and whispered, "There are advanced applications of Armament and Observation Haki that I haven't learned yet, so I can't teach you."
"But you should master all the Marine Rokushiki techniques as soon as possible, and then I'll help you find the method for Kami-e."
"As long as you learn Kami-e, your control over your body will become more perfect. As your physical strength increases, your Thunder Volt will naturally progress to the next stage."
"So, you can put your Haki practice aside for now and focus on the six styles."
"I understand, Master."
Hancock nodded obediently at first, then a sly smile appeared on her beautiful face. She suddenly shifted her hands from Kahn's temples to his short blue hair and rubbed vigorously. "Hee hee... finally succeeded. Master's hair feels awesome!"
Kahn: "..."
