"Ah?"
"Why does this guy look younger?"
Borsalino pushed up the amber sunglasses on his nose.
His gaze focused on Umibouzu's now thick black hair.
His tone carried a hint of surprise.
"That was Doctor Dalton's work," Sylph explained calmly.
"While treating him, he used alchemy to restore his hair follicles and hair, while also improving his skin condition."
"That is why he now looks about ten years younger."
"However, if he truly wants to regain his youth, he will still need an injection of Life-Extension Serum."
"I see~"
Borsalino rubbed his chin and drawled with a sigh:
"Even hair loss, the despair of middle-aged men, can be solved."
"Alchemy really is enviably convenient~"
Sylph replied, "With your level of knowledge and mental strength, you should be able to pick up alchemy easily."
"However, becoming a high-level Alchemist would probably take several years."
"Then forget it, I'm busy enough already~"
Borsalino shook his head as he held his teacup.
Swordsmanship, Physical Arts, Haki, the Glint-Glint Fruit's power, comprehending the laws of the sun and light, commanding and managing the First Fleet.
Those already packed his schedule tight.
If he no longer needed sleep.
He would not even have time to drink tea, eat bananas, have ramen, or read manga.
Where would he find time to study alchemy?
Meanwhile, Fan Jie, who had remained silent all this time, looked at Umibouzu's wide-eyed, inexperienced expression.
He could not help nodding in empathy.
When he had first seen the promotional video and other materials Sylph had sent him.
He had handled it slightly better than the other man, but the shock he felt had been no less real.
That was because he was an intelligent life-form that had accidentally developed consciousness on his own.
By nature, he was calmer than most living beings.
