The shockwave and strong winds slowly dissipated.
Thud!
Yohishi, who had struck a cool punching pose, collapsed onto the ground, exhausted.
Having used his ability only twice, Yohishi felt completely drained, indicating that while his Devil Fruit ability was powerful, its consumption was also immense, and his body was still too weak.
Seeing Yohishi plop onto the ground, Nami thought something was wrong and quickly came to help him up.
"Yohishi, are you alright?" Nami asked with concern.
"I'm fine, just a bit drained and tired from the exertion!" Yohishi replied, shaking his head slightly, a hint of fatigue on his face.
As soon as Yohishi finished speaking, two pirates suddenly stumbled out.
Their faces flushed with drink, they looked bewildered. One of them, holding a sword, yelled at Nami and Yohishi, "Who are you? What happened?"
Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be the pirates from the crew's quarters whom Nami had searched earlier, now completely drunk.
Butcher Bakar had crashed through the entire pirate ship, causing such a huge commotion that the whole ship had already begun to burn. Even the most deeply sleeping pirates should have woken up.
Seeing the pirate holding a sword, Nami instinctively reached for a weapon to defend herself, but her combined staff had already been broken by Butcher Bakar.
Noticing Nami's nervousness, Yohishi comforted her, "It's alright, leave it to me!"
With that, Yohishi raised his hand towards the two pirates, beginning to gather the limited power within him.
Rumble!
A clap of thunder boomed, and lightning flashed.
Thud! Thud!
Struck by the lightning, the two pirates' faces were charred black, smoke rose from their heads, their hair stood on end, and their bodies collapsed weakly to the ground.
They were just ordinary pirates, unlike Butcher Bakar, who could withstand a lightning strike.
Seeing Yohishi display his ability again, Nami excitedly exclaimed, "That's amazing, Yohishi! What happened? How did you suddenly become so powerful!"
Having used his ability again, and feeling even more exhausted, Yohishi replied, "I just ate a Devil Fruit and gained superpowers."
Upon hearing this, Nami's expression turned serious, but her eyes transformed into dollar signs as she asked, "You said you just ate a Devil Fruit? The one known as the secret treasure of the sea, which grants the power of a Devil when eaten, and whose lowest price on the black market is over one hundred million Berries?"
Seeing Nami's reaction, Yohishi thought she didn't know, so he nodded and replied, "Yes! Why?"
Clearly, the last part of Nami's question was the main point. After getting confirmation, Nami's expression instantly changed. Her dollar-sign eyes turned into shark eyes, and her teeth became sharp fangs. She immediately grabbed Yohishi by the neck and began shaking him.
"You bastard, you damn bastard! That was a hundred million Berries! No, it should be a billion Berries! You actually kept it all to yourself! How are you going to compensate me?"
One could only say that this was truly Nami, a devoted money-grubber. Yohishi, being shaken like a rag doll, no longer wanted to speak.
Just as Yohishi was about to be shaken to death by Nami, the coughing of the prostitute lying nearby saved him.
Cough! Cough! Cough!
Lying naked on the deck, coughing up blood continuously, the prostitute would truly die if she didn't receive medical attention soon.
Different environments nurture different people. Even though the woman was just a prostitute, her figure was still incredibly good, with ample curves, a slender waist, perky buttocks, and long legs. In his previous world, with her looks, she would have been at least an international celebrity.
But in this world, she could only stoop to being a prostitute providing services to a low-class group like pirates.
Of course, Yohishi did not discriminate against prostitutes. Many people entered this profession out of necessity, driven by life's circumstances. No normal person would willingly debase themselves unless forced by circumstances.
The pirate ship had already caught fire, and the flames illuminated everything clearly. Noticing Yohishi looking at the prostitute, Nami immediately gave him a heavy hand chop, but this time it didn't leave a large bump on Yohishi's head.
Nami felt as if her palm strike had landed on a wad of cotton, and all her force had vanished.
"Don't look!" Nami warned, about to cover Yohishi's eyes with her hand.
Yohishi quickly explained, "She's dying. Perhaps my ability can save her."
With that, Yohishi walked over to the prostitute, placed his hand on her abdomen, and a faint white aura emanated from his hand. The aura spread over the woman's body, and her body began to change. Her skin became much fairer and smoother, and her body seemed more vibrant. The woman's breathing also became stronger.
"How is it? Can she still be saved?" Nami asked curiously.
Seeing the woman's skin become fair and smooth, Nami's expression showed that she wanted to try it too.
Yohishi shook his head and said, "I don't know. The effect of my ability is very small. Whether she can survive depends on her."
After the Devil Fruit's ability took effect in his body, Yohishi roughly understood what he could do. His Devil Fruit possessed multiple abilities, such as inducing vibrations, releasing electrical shocks, absorbing abilities, and lubrication.
Yohishi's lubrication ability was somewhat similar to the Smooth-Smooth Fruit's ability. He had read about how netizens developed the Smooth-Smooth Fruit's ability, such as sliding away attacks and damage.
The prostitute had been thrown by Butcher Bakar, and her internal organs had suffered a certain degree of vibration injury. Yohishi's ability made her entire body smooth, which reduced the friction injuries caused by movement within her body and also prevented internal bruising from clotting, allowing harmful substances to be expelled.
Judging from the prostitute's condition, Yohishi's ability still had some effect.
Although Yohishi said the effect was minimal, Nami saw the prostitute's condition with her own eyes, and she didn't want the prostitute to lose her life because of her.
The prostitute was fine, but Nami was not.
"Ah! My money!"
Looking at the Captain's cabin engulfed in raging flames, and thinking of the money in the treasure chest inside, Nami screamed loudly. Thinking that the money in the chest might burn with the fire, Nami angrily punched Yohishi on the head.
Nami grabbed Yohishi's shoulders and shook him, her shark-like face roaring, "Idiot! It's all your fault! Why did you set the ship on fire with lightning? Quickly think of a way! There's still a treasure chest in the Captain's cabin!"
Yohishi, dizzy from being shaken again, quickly said, "Let go, I'll think of a way right now. Perhaps it can still be saved."
Upon hearing this, Nami grabbed Yohishi and threw him towards the raging fire.
This was Nami, a complete money fanatic. If you caused her to lose one Berry, she would fight you to the death. Hearing that Yohishi could save her money, Nami unhesitatingly pushed him towards the flames.
The flames raged, and the high temperature distorted the air. An ordinary person approaching the scorching heat would already be burned, but Yohishi only felt a warm sensation.
Although Nami pushed Yohishi towards the sea of fire, she didn't want Yohishi to die. She had thought Yohishi had some plan!
Seeing Yohishi just walk into the sea of fire, Nami was also badly frightened.
"Hey, Yohishi, what are you doing!"
But Yohishi ignored Nami and directly extended his hand into the flames, a white aura emanating from his hand.
As soon as his hand touched the flames, an invisible suction force was generated in his palm. Under the pull of this force, the fiercely burning, scorching flames gathered towards his palm.
