Nojiko looked to see Kalifa having a shower. She stepped in the room and felt her energy suddenly go away as she dropped to the ground. Nojiko looked to see Kalifa relaxing in the bathtub. Her long legs could be seen and her shoulders. The soap covered the rest of her body.
"I was told you were short on time," Kalfia commented. "But you are relaxing on the ground," she added and smiled.
Nojiko wondered why her energy was gone. She is only covered in his soap. Ben did not mention that the Six Power can suck energy.
Kalifa stood up showing her nude body to Nojiko. She walked over and pulled the curtain down and started to dress. "I have a few questions for you," Kalifa said as she wore her clothes.
Nojiko felt her energy come back. She looked at her body and saw the soap was gone. She thought this was a strong power. "Cloud Surge," Nojiko said as she created storm clouds around the ceiling.
Kalifa dressed. She wore a black blazer with black skirt and fishnets and black heels. Kalifa sat down. She could see the clouds. "What do you want to ask?" Nojiko asked. She knew this was part of the quest to convert members over. Robin, Zala, Mikita and Marianne were enemies however now they were sisters. She could be one as well, no she will be the one.
"Who is Ben?" Kalifa asked.
"What do you mean?" Nojiko asked.
Kalfia zipped on a cup of tea. "I want to know who he is, what type of person he is and why he keeps coming to my mind," Kalfia asked.
Nojiko smiled. She was already falling for him however it felt different. She gave a soft smile. "Ben?" she began, her voice warm with affection. "He's everything you wouldn't expect from a pirate. He's kind, caring, and has a heart that could melt even the coldest ice. My village was under the rule of a brutal dictator, he killed my mum, enslaved my sister. The Marines were on with him. I thought it was all lost until Ben came to our rescue. He didn't have to, he didn't owe us anything but he fought for us, protected us. He saved my home. He saved Vivi's country too, from an evil warlord, Crocodile who was appointed by the Marines. He was ready to plunge it into chaos," Nojiko explained.
Kalifa's hand froze mid-sip, her eyes narrowed. She thought he is strong and is so young. She thought she heard Nojiko saying he did it out of his goodwill. There may be truth to that but thinking about it. He was the only man in the crew with girls. They all had a glow.
"He sounds interesting," Kalifa said. "But did he do that out of goodwill or did he want more?" Kalifa asked.
"More?" Nojiko smiled. "Well he might have had an ulterior motive," Nojiko teased.
"So he is just like those typical men?" Kalifa replied.
"No, he is nothing like that. He is special," Nojiko stated. Kalfia saw the fire in her eyes.
Ben fights for us, but he had the help of my sisters. They all worked together. We all do. He makes us all happy, he gives us support and strength," Nojiko explained.
"You all have unique devil fruits. Very powerful, the likes which even the World Government dont have. Where did you get them?" Kalifa asked.
"You have to join us to find out," Nojiko replied. She smiled back.
Kalifa set her teacup down with a sharp clink, her eyes cold. "I thought we had established a friendship already. Well, how is he in the department below?" Kalifa asked.
"The best lover in the world," Nojiko stated.
Kalifa smiled. "The truth is, ever since I have seen his picture, my heart is in turmoil. He keeps playing on my mind. That is sexual harassment," Kalifa responded.
Nojiko was confused by the statement. "Ben would love to have you on his crew," Nojiko responded.
I would like him to be with me. I will say to the World Government he will be a valuable asset to have and I will break him," Kalifa responded. She thought she might be bluffing. She had been keeping her composure but seeing him in person confirmed the worse. She had fallen for a man.
Nojiko's expression hardened. "You don't understand, Kalifa. That love is one sided. I can tell you are lying," Nojiko replied.
"Then how about a bet, if you win, I will come with you and see this love. If I win, Ben comes with me," Kalifa said.
"I will not lose," Nojiko replied.
Kalifa smiled. "Bubble Master Soap Sheep," Kalifa said as she concentrated all nearby foam and bubbles around her body. The soap and foam formed around her body, making her look like a sheep. Sheep Cloud Relaxing Bubbles." Kalifa added as she launched all the foam and soap around forward. The foam hit Nojiko. Nojiko felt all her muscles in her body relaxed. She dropped to the ground.
"My strength again," Nojiko replied as she struggled to get back up from the ground. Her muscles were not working.
"You must have figured it out by now," Kalifa said as she walked towards Nojiko.
"I have it is the soap," Nojiko replied. "Rain Burst," Nojiko said as the dense storm clouds on the ceiling started to darken. They suddenly started to get heavy and then started to rain.
Kalifa looked up and saw the clouds. "So this is your power," she remarked. She had seen them as she changed.
The soap washed off Nojiko as she got up. "Mist Clones," Nojiko whispered as she extended her hand, manipulating the surrounding clouds. The mist swirled and gradually took on her form until several identical misty figures of herself emerged.
They all nodded to each other and charged towards Kalifa. Kalifa was surprised by the clones. "Finger Pistol," Kalifa said as she pulled her index finger and stabbed Nojiko. Her finger went through and she turned to clouds.
"I am sorry," Nojiko replied. "Lightning Blast," Nojiko added as she created a small cloud around her hand. She ran up towards Kalifa. A single intense lighting bolt left the cloud and struck Kalifa. She took the entire lightning blast as she went down. Nojiko kept it to the minimum. Kalifa was unconscious.
"Thank you," Nojiko said. She took the key from her pocket. Nojiko then put her arm over hers and carried her.
At that moment, she heard a message on her Den Den Mushi. She picked it up, "We need a key for Bonney`s sea prism cuffs," Marianne said.
Nojiko thought Bonney is here as well. She heard footsteps. Nojiko was about to get ready to fight when she saw it was Raki.
"I am glad to see a friendly face," Nojiko said.
"Looks like you did well," Raki replied, looking at the defeated women.
"She is the same as us, in love with Ben. She threw the fight," Nojiko said.
Raki nodded. She thought was she in love with him. "Let me help you, there will be extra rewards from what we talked about," Raki replied. She thought about the girl's talk.
"Thank you," Nojiko replied as Raki put her other arm over her shoulder. They both carried her out.
