The Fruit Ability is Truly Convenient

Without hesitation, the Devil Fruit ability was activated.

"Slip-Slip Fruit: Memory Sliding Technique."

Moya extracted the cluster of memories from Kuro, slid them into his own mind, and searched for the training method for the Silent Step.

This was the man whom a certain Oda called the mastermind of the early story, a man whose intelligence was second only to the vice-captain of the Red-Haired Pirates, Beckman.

How could his emotional intelligence be so low, and his ambitions so small? He only wanted to be a wealthy man, wasting such a brilliant mind.

After Moya found the training method for the Silent Step, the majority of Kuro's memories were permanently destroyed. His luck was not as good as Buggy's; he suffered a complete mental breakdown, his memories becoming chaotic and irreparable, leaving him a walking corpse.

Moya couldn't help but exclaim at the waste; just like that, he had lost a potential henchman.

Forget it. He had originally intended to reduce Kuro to the memories of a child and raise him anew, but that chance was gone. At least it saved him the time and effort of retraining him.

Knowing that everyone feared and hated Kuro, Moya ordered his subordinates to sever Kuro's head to claim the bounty, then dispose of the body humanely, letting Kuro become a true corpse.

Without wasting words, Moya directly intimidated the Cat Brothers into submission, making them his squad leaders.

As for Jango, Moya was somewhat interested in his hypnosis. This man had actually gained his hypnotic abilities by eating a mushroom that had grown on his own chin.

The world of One Piece was truly full of wonders. Moya even suspected that this mushroom might have been a failed Devil Fruit!

Looking at Jango's appearance, which resembled Michael Jackson, he was also quite a skilled dancer.

It seemed Oda had modeled him after Michael Jackson; in the cover stories, he had even won a dance competition.

Moya used the same mix of threats and inducements to make Jango the dancer for the Moya Adventure Group, avoiding any cliché scenes of him choosing death over surrender.

After finishing these tasks, Moya felt that Devil Fruit abilities were truly useful. By picking up Luffy's leftovers, he had easily obtained the Silent Step training method and several subordinates.

However, Moya also realized that if he kept following Luffy like this, how would he and his crew grow stronger through battle? It seemed necessary for him to carve out his own route!

Or perhaps he could follow Luffy's route, leaving Luffy with no path to take and forcing him to change his course.

After arranging for the newly recruited Black Cat Pirates to return to their ship, the Moya Adventure Group began a banquet with Kaya, Luffy, and the others.

Seeing Luffy's Straw Hat, Buggy seemed to recall a certain someone, gnashing his teeth and constantly competing with him for meat.

At the banquet, Luffy mentioned he needed a ship. Grateful for Luffy saving her life, Kaya gifted the Going Merry to him.

Usopp, having learned that Luffy knew Yasopp, decided to go to sea and become a crew member of Luffy's pirate ship, vowing to become a great warrior of the sea.

The banquet ended amidst joyful cheers.

That night, a shadow quietly snuck into Kaya's room.

Indeed, this person was the twenty-first-century "good man" Moya. Regarding a beautiful woman studying medicine, holding the grand resolution that "if they are a talent, I must not let them go," Moya extended his "protagonist's hand," also known as a "lecherous hand."

Moya subjected Kaya to some "well-intentioned" brainwashing about medicine, not forgetting to take some liberties, encouraging her to become a great doctor to treat himself and more patients.

The beauty-enhancing effect of the Slip-Slip Fruit, coupled with a hint of charm, increased her favorability by one.

Moya even claimed to know the One Piece ship doctor Crocus, the genius surgeon Hogback, the 140-year-old doctor Kureha, and so on.

He coaxed Kaya until she was completely swayed. For the sake of talent and convincing a beautiful physician, Moya told a few little lies and sacrificed a bit of his own dignity.

That wasn't too much, was it?

Moya himself didn't think it was too much at all!

Back in the day, Rayleigh had been tricked into going to sea by Roger.

I can testify to this point; I was watching from the sidelines at the time.

Kaya seemed to have developed a great interest and affection for Moya, though it was unclear if it was the effect of the Devil Fruit.

In the end, this delicate yet strong woman was persuaded. Moya nodded in satisfaction and quietly retreated.

Back in his room, Moya felt a bit of regret; he should have taken more liberties. Just thinking about it made him feel a surge of desire he could barely control.

He snuck into Nami's room and crawled under her blanket. Nami was shocked and just about to scream when Moya covered her mouth.

"Don't scream, it's me!"

Nami's face flushed, and she stammered, "Moya, you... what do you want to do!"

"Nami, actually, I'm a little afraid of the dark! I want to hold you while I sleep."

Moya said, his breathing slightly rapid.

"Baka, who would believe that! Holding me to sleep costs one hundred million Beli per time, otherwise, get out!"

Nami, as if she knew nothing of the affairs between men and women, foolishly thought that holding her to sleep could earn her one hundred million Beli, while also believing that Moya couldn't possibly have that much.

Upon hearing this, Moya mistakenly thought there was a chance tonight.

"Then can I write an IOU? All the treasure on the ship will be managed by you in the future, and there will be many more great treasures to come!"

Moya finished speaking and began to wrap his arms around Nami's slender waist, slowly caressing her.

A trembling voice came from Nami, who was on the verge of exploding.

"The treasure on the ship is already managed by me! If you're holding me to sleep, why are you touching me! Stop touching me, or I'll get angry."

If it weren't for the fact that Moya's strength and five senses had greatly increased recently, he probably wouldn't have noticed the tension in Nami's voice.

It seemed Nami wasn't as ignorant as she appeared.

Moya was on the verge of transforming into a wolf, half-reluctant and half-willing, ready to taste the delicate flower that was Nami.

"I'll just hold you, nothing will happen."

"I'll just touch you, I definitely won't take your clothes off."

"I really won't do anything, I promise, believe me."

Nami let out a mournful cry, gradually growing submissive.

Overcome by desire, Moya's eyes turned red, and he lost all control.

And just like that, a young girl completed her transformation into a woman.

The next day, as the sun rose, Nami woke up slowly. Seeing that Moya was not by her side, she felt a bit lost, but at the memory of last night's madness, she couldn't help but blush with shyness.

Just then, Moya walked in carrying a bowl of steaming meat porridge. Seeing this, Nami's eyes reddened and welled up with tears; it had been a long time since anyone had cared for her like this.

"Little kitten, what's wrong? Why are you crying? Last night was my fault."

Moya set down the porridge, hugged Nami, and comforted her with a tone of apology.

"Little kitten, I will take responsibility for you. From now on, your enemies are my enemies. I will help you wipe out Arlong!"

"You liar, you big liar!" Nami felt the weight of Moya's resolve, and as she pounded his chest, she said, both angry and moved, "I believe you, Moya. I can only believe you. I will try my best to learn to love you!"

"You must be hungry. Get up, wash up, and drink your porridge! I made this especially for you," Moya said, stroking Nami's hair.

"Mm," Nami nodded gently.

As she tried to get up, she felt a pain in her body and sat back down.

Seeing this, how could Moya not understand what was going on? But he didn't know any healing arts!

Wait, healing?

Moya immediately thought of the Paw-Paw Fruit's ability to repel pain, purging adverse effects including fatigue and injury.

Why was the Paw-Paw Fruit able to develop such an ability? Was Kuma's imagination just that vast?

Or was it developed based on the necessity of the user's goals?

If Kuma had developed it toward healing after joining the Revolutionary Army and witnessing countless battles and the injuries of his comrades, it perfectly proved the development characteristics of Paramecia Devil Fruits: the greater the imagination, the more formidable the ability!

Zoan types generally only have three forms: human, hybrid, and beast, leading up to awakening.

Chopper was an exception, possessing seven transformations through the Rumble Ball, while Mythical Zoans gained an additional innate ability, such as the Phoenix's Flames of Resurrection.

The development path for Logia types was relatively singular; one could only make the fruit's attacks more powerful or increase its range, eventually leading to awakening, without many bizarre functions.

For example, ice was developed to be colder, and fire was developed to be hotter.

Paramecia abilities, however, were diverse, primarily consisting of body-altering types, like Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Mi or Bellamy's Bane Bane no Mi.

Superpower types, like Whitebeard's Gura Gura no Mi or Sugar's Hobi Hobi no Mi.

And creation types, like Doflamingo's Ito Ito no Mi or Katakuri's Mochi Mochi no Mi.

Moya's Slip-Slip Fruit was a superpower-type Paramecia. If the final awakening of body-altering Devil Fruits focused on personal strength—a physical level—and the final awakening of creation-type Devil Fruits focused on influencing and assimilating the environment—also a physical level—then superpowers were bizarre and multi-directional, influencing the soul, space, time, senses, rules, and laws with infinite growth potential, functioning as a mix of physical and magical damage!

As a modern man with a wild imagination, the growth potential for the Slip-Slip Fruit as a superpower-type Devil Fruit was immense.

Since it could already alter memories on a soul level, then as development deepened, he should be able to achieve the desired effects regarding the soul, space, time, senses, rules, and laws!

Just like the Paw-Paw Fruit, it was the gold standard of superpower-type Devil Fruits. Hearing the name, who would have known it could be developed to teleport, heal, and compress air into cannons?

Therefore, Moya needed to learn well from Kuma! He would develop healing arts, spatial teleportation, and more for the Slip-Slip Fruit.

Watching Nami endure the pain, Moya became even more determined to develop the healing aspects of his Devil Fruit ability, not just for combat, but to heal the people who mattered to him.

He decided to act immediately. With a "patient" already at hand, Moya said gently to Nami, "I'm going to try to alleviate your pain now. Tell me how it feels."

"Mm," Nami nodded softly.

Moya brought his hand close to Nami's soreness. Nami's face turned bright red again as he activated his Devil Fruit ability, sending a strange energy into her body.

Nami let out a soft, delicate cry...

"What's wrong? How does it feel?" Moya asked.

"It's a bit itchy," Nami whispered, blushing with embarrassment, but her flushed, shy appearance was simply irresistible.

Looking at Nami, Moya knew that this healing ability couldn't be developed in a single moment.

After feeding Nami the porridge and letting her rest, Moya went out to arrange their departure.
