Will, who had also witnessed the scene, immediately brightened.
The woman's current appearance made it obvious that she was no pushover.
So he immediately called out to her:
"Carina, quickly, try out the abilities you have in your Human-Beast Form. See if they match what the guidebook said."
"Okay!" Carina suppressed her excitement and nodded, looking rather eager.
She spread her hands and fixed her gaze on them, then gave a soft shout. "Flames!"

"Uh..."
Carina's eye twitched at his words. For a moment, she almost wondered if there was something wrong with her Devil Fruit power.
