[The Tsunade template certainly lives up to my expectations.]
[Just look at that beautiful golden hair, that mark on her forehead.]
[And most importantly, that wide chest.]
[Thankfully, Kaya's dress is quite loose. Otherwise, with her chest's growth, her outfit would've torn apart.]
[Whether Kaya can use Tsunade's full power is uncertain, but this transformation is entirely in line with my preferences.]
[I hope that when Kaya exits Tsunade's state, she retains that ample chest.]
[If so, there'll be plenty of eye candy while sailing.]
Kaya: "..."
Carina: "What, I'm not beautiful enough for you?"
Uta: "Come on, does my singing not count as a good experience?"
Nami: "Another template was used. Will I get a chance? In his drawings, I looked quite good with longer hair. Just wait, I'll have my own transformation!"
Gerd: "You like big, right? Well, I'm a giant, does that work?"
Charlotte Galette: "Tsunade's chest is certainly striking, but it's not always about size. Sometimes, just the right amount is perfect. If you'd become my husband, you'd understand."
Viola: "With my dance and curves, I'm definitely at an advantage, right?"
Arton looks at Kaya, who's blushing and biting her lip shyly, raising an eyebrow.
"What's up, Kaya?"
"Are you overwhelmed by your new power?"
"Don't worry, it's safe for you."
"Finish off Kuro, and I'll explain everything later."
Arton gives Kaya a thumbs up and encourages her to act.
Kaya sighs, unable to mention her embarrassment from Arton's diary comments about her chest size.
She understands she can't control what he writes in his diary.
"I can't hurt him; he did take care of me for a while. Could you take care of it?" she asks, suddenly collapsing into Arton's arms, her energy drained.
As Arton catches her, the golden hair and forehead mark that came with Tsunade's transformation slowly fade into light particles.
But he found that Kaya's ample chest didn't disappear when she exited the Tsunade mode.
"That's quite something. Not bad, not bad," Arton said twice, expressing his satisfaction.
After Carina and Uta had received the Yae Miko and Elizabeth Bathory templates, respectively, they could enter their corresponding modes by activating the templates in their bodies. When they entered these modes, they would exhibit traits unique to Yae Miko and Elizabeth.
However, even without entering template mode, both women still carried certain features from Yae Miko and Elizabeth after obtaining the templates.
Carina inherited the fox spirit's lineage, with a natural allure in her every gesture. Uta gained the dragon's lineage, with an impressive defensive ability.
Thus, it was acceptable for Arton that Kaya, even without using Tsunade's template, retained some of her characteristics. Originally, Arton assumed Kaya might acquire the Senju clan's regenerative abilities, but now it seems she only gained Tsunade's ample chest.
Kaya could also feel her chest pressing against Arton's arm. Her cheeks flushed as red as apples at the sensation. If Arton had less self-control, he might have bitten into them.
"Ahem, since you're reluctant to take care of this yourself," Arton said, standing Kaya upright by her shoulders, "I'll handle it for you."
Arton didn't force Kaya to do it herself. After ensuring she was steady on her feet, he moved toward Kuro.
"What... what are you going to do?" Kuro screamed in terror, his earlier confidence long gone. Although he was still standing, Arton's punches and kicks had taken a toll. Kuro's bones were broken, and his internal organs were damaged. Just standing required his full strength, let alone fighting.
"Kaya seems to have some sympathy for you," Arton said. "I won't end you in front of her."
"Let's go. We'll talk elsewhere," he added, grabbing Kuro by the collar and leaping toward the outskirts.
"It's over now. Kaya, was it? How about we have a chat?" Carina said, approaching Kaya with a smile. "Maybe we could add each other as friends."
"Add me as a friend too."
At that moment, Uta walked in from outside the villa, followed by a somewhat dazed Usopp.
"Okay," said Kaya, nodding slightly as she looked at Merry and Usopp, "Merry, I'll leave the rest to you."
"Usopp, I have some things to discuss with Carina-san and Uta-san, so I won't be able to entertain you right now."
Kaya, along with Carina and Uta, quickly entered the villa and soon disappeared from the sight of Usopp and Merry.
"Merry, what exactly happened here?" Usopp turned to Merry and asked.
"Do Kaya and Uta know each other?"
"I'm not quite sure either," Merry sighed deeply. "Oh, is Miss Kaya really planning to leave with them?"
"Wait, are you saying that the mysterious person who healed Kaya was that man?"
At this point, Merry involuntarily looked in the direction where Arton had taken Captain Kuro away.
"What?!" Usopp exclaimed. "Kaya is leaving this place?"
"The ship you've been building lately was for this?"
"Merry, you need to tell me what's going on!" Usopp demanded, grabbing Merry's shoulders, his voice filled with urgency.
