During their days on the ship, Masa and Carina spent a peaceful day, but a wild night since they were young, so they were full of energy and simply inseparable.
"I am afraid that I will get pregnant if this continues..."
Carina let out a helpless sigh as she rubbed her belly. While she didn't mind getting pregnant by his children, considering their situation and how unpeaceful their lives would be, it felt like having children gave him trouble, especially when she knew that they might encounter many problems.
After all, like most mothers in various worlds, Carina wished for her children to grow up in a stable environment. Moreover, most parents didn't want their children to live a hard life like their childhood.
Or rather, Carina didn't want her children to live to become a thief like her.
Yet, when she thought about the condition of the people in this world, being a thief might be one of the best ways to live.
"You don't have to worry. I have a technique that allows me not to impregnate others, and to be honest, I am not ready to have children right now."
"Ugh... I feel conflicted to hear that."
"Do you want me to impregnate you?"
"Do you mind if I want to get pregnant?"
Masa looked at Carina, who was staring at him silently with a solemn gaze, so he answered her with a firm gaze like a man. "If you wish, then let's do it. I have been careful before, so no one knows that I do, so I am not a criminal, but then again, we won't stay on a single island for so long since there are many places that I want to visit."
Carina smiled, then happily kissed him several times. "Well, I am not ready, either. Let's do it later when we're a little older."
"Sure, but wash your mouth first before you kiss me."
"...just who made my mouth dirty, then?"
Carina snorted and threw a pillow on his body before she went to the bathroom to wash up, swinging her sexy hips lazily as she yawned, feeling slightly lethargic. Still, she couldn't help but stop and stare at the hologram screen that Masa had created and often showed. She hesitated, but she wasn't sure whether she should ask.
"Just ask if you want to ask."
"Masa, that's the ability..."
"Yeah, it's Kizaru's ability, Pika Pika no Mi. I ate his Devil Fruit."
"Huh?!" Even if Carina had had her suspicions before, she couldn't help but feel surprised and then ask unsurely. "Did you devour him?" This is what she thought, thinking that Masa had the ability to become stronger by devouring others.
"If I can have that ability, then I am going to stay in the Marines, then devour Sengoku and everyone else."
"..."
Carina had to say the words that came out from Masa's words were crazy!
Who was Sengoku?
This was the top of the top of the Marines!
Yet, Masa wanted to devour him!?
If she didn't know that Masa had defeated Kizaru, then she would think that this guy was crazy!
"I trapped Kizaru's body inside me and kept some fruits inside my body, too; when he died, his Devil Fruit would reincarnate inside my body. That was why I could use the power of the Pika Pika no Mi."
"I see!" Carina thought this explanation was more believable, and at the same time, she thought that Masa was as smart as ever. After all, she knew how rare the Devil Fruit was and how expensive it was. More importantly, if the Devil Fruit user died, the Devil Fruit would reincarnate somewhere, in a place no one knew, but if Masa trapped the dead user inside his body, then the Devil Fruit would reincarnate inside his body!
Amazing!
However—
"Can I eat two Devil Fruits too?" Carina asked with shining eyes.
"Sure."
"Really?!"
"Yeah, your body will explode and die, though."
Suddenly, Carina threw something toward him, but Masa dodged her with ease.
"BASTARD!"
Carina was so angry at this moment, but then she asked, "Then, how could you eat two Devil Fruits?"
"My body is probably special. I am not sure the reason, though, so when we finish in the Water 7, our next destination will be a place where I can learn medicine."
"Sure." Carina nodded and agreed with his idea since she was also quite curious about the secret of his body since it was so amazing~!
Moreover, this was too handsome, right?
Carina felt that this guy was special, she thought.
"By the way, is there a criminal group or bad people on the Water 7?"
"Hmm... not sure. Let's search for the information later when we have arrived."
"Okay."
Carina knew that Masa only robbed bad people or a criminal group, sometimes a merchant group too, especially those that had harassed normal people. To be honest, she felt that Masa was a bit naive, but then again, she also agreed with his choice since what was the point of stealing a good person?
In this carnivorous world, those good people had no money!
It was simply meaningless!
Still, she decided to wash her body first since her body was too sticky. Entering the bathroom, which was inside the master bedroom of the noble ship, she had to say that her life within the ship was luxurious, especially when she could enjoy warm, normal water.
After all, the trip between islands usually took a long time, so clean, normal water was an important resource, yet for Masa, who could use the power of Pika Pika no Mi to do solar desalination, to use the power of light to convert saline water into fresh water that could be used for irrigation and human consumption.
Probably, taking a bath with seawater might have some health benefits, but there was no doubt, no matter what, it was better to take a bath with normal water since it was neutral and it wouldn't irritate the skin in case there were injuries.
"But you know?"
"Hmm?"
Carina, who was about to enter the bathroom, looked at Masa with a smile and said, "If possible, try to develop an ability with that Jake Jake no Mi of yours to gain strength by devouring others; that way, you can become stronger."
"...."
Masa looked at Carina, who said those words strangely.
"Stupid!" Carina snorted, thinking that Masa would think that she was a naive woman who would leave him for having such a cruel ability, yet frankly, if possible, she wanted him to develop such an ability since the stronger he was, the better it was for him since that way, he could protect the two of them better, and she didn't want him to die, after all
Masa realized that he might have underestimated Carina's tolerance since, for her, he was the most important. "I will try."
"Good~!" Carina nodded and entered the bathroom as she sang. Yes, she loved to sing, and whenever she had free time, she would often sing for him, and he would play some instruments.
'When we get our ship, let's have a music room!'
Hearing her song, Masa thought that if they hadn't met each other, Carina would have been a famous singer. Not as famous as a certain diva in the world of One Piece who would put everyone in the world of illusion with her Devil Fruit power, but her career was quite good as she was working in the ship of the world's richest man.
'World's richest man, huh?'
Compared to wealth, what was important was strength since if one didn't have strength in this world, they would die.
Still, at this moment, as Carina went to take a bath, Masa continued to hack into Vegapunk's Punk Records since all the knowledge within this data storage was too delicious for him to let go~!
