"Karl... what happened just now?!"
By the time Karl reappeared in front of Nami and the other girls.
He had returned to his normal size and teleported back into the cabin to change his clothes.
Seeing Karl return to his normal size, whether it was Nami and the other two girls, or Shirahoshi, their minds all unconsciously replayed the scene from just now.
Immediately, all the girls' cheeks turned bright red.
It couldn't be helped, that scene was truly too shocking.
Just like in a series from Karl's previous life called Attack on Titan, Karl suddenly turned into a ten-meter small giant, and his tight pajamas instantly turned into shreds.
Nami and the girls standing behind and in front of Karl, along with Shirahoshi, naturally saw something they shouldn't have seen.
It was also thanks to Shirahoshi's tolerance being stronger than her timid appearance suggested, otherwise she might have fainted, just like Hinata from the Naruto world.
"Ahem... a new characteristic of my body."
Karl, also recalling the socially-mortifying scene, quickly gave a light cough and explained somewhat awkwardly.
If the girls present had been Carina, or Nami and Perona, or even Yamato.
Karl absolutely wouldn't be this embarrassed, but would instead be smug.
But...
Among the four girls present, only Nami had an intimate relationship with him.
The other three girls, Karl hadn't made a move on them yet.
Suddenly, in front of partners with whom he had a normal relationship, he uncontrollably lost control of his size.
Karl almost couldn't stop himself from self-destructing on the spot!
A dark past, definitely a dark past!
Unless he made them all truly his, this dark past would probably never be washed away.
Karl wanted to cry but had no tears.
He had kept a low profile for over a year, and thankfully there were no News Coo taking secret photos from the sky, otherwise Karl would definitely eat two News Coo to vent his anger.
"A new characteristic?!"
Hearing Karl's explanation, Nami and the girls were slightly stunned.
Nami immediately thought of Karl's Absolute Comprehension.
Robin recalled Nami's words from half a year ago.
"He gains a new characteristic with every evolution. A monster blessed by the sea?" Robin sighed faintly.
"Karl, is that your second, no... your third characteristic?"
Nami, recovering her senses, immediately asked impatiently: "Is it like just now, allowing your body to become as big as Shirahoshi?"
Nojiko and Shirahoshi also cast curious and excited gazes at Karl.
The former was purely curious, while the latter, after recovering from the shock, had a look of excitement.
If it's really like that, then couldn't she also hug Lord Karl, just like Sister Nami?
"Just like you saw..."
Karl shrugged and said: "My third characteristic is called As-You-Wish Size. Besides getting bigger, I can also get smaller."
Before Nami and the girls could ask further, Karl used As-You-Wish Size again.
But this time, not bigger, but smaller!
Karl's body was seen shrinking, as if it had been washed.
In just a few seconds, his body went from 1.95 meters to one meter.
His originally tight clothes instantly became loose.
"Ah... Kawaii!!!"
Looking at the shrunken Karl, Nami and the girls let out another scream.
Nami pounced instantly, hugging the Tama-sized Karl in her arms, excitedly rubbing her face against Karl's chubby cheeks.
Just like how getting bigger weakens speed and increases strength, getting smaller has the limitation of weakening strength and increasing speed.
When Karl became big, apart from his body and bones changing, his appearance didn't change at all.
But after becoming small, a huge change occurred.
Just like the side effect when Luffy first used Gear Third.
The shrunken Karl was like he had reverted to childhood; his skin and appearance both turned into those of a child.
It's just that this child, who looked to be only a few years old, possessed the terrifying combat power of an overlord of the sea.
Looking at the child-like Karl, not only was Nami excited.
Even Nojiko, Shirahoshi, and Robin's beautiful eyes were shining with a golden light.
Especially the calm and composed Robin, who almost couldn't stop herself from pushing Nami aside and hugging Karl tightly in her arms.
Robin had zero immunity to cute little animals and children.
Karl's childhood appearance...
It had to be admitted, it was definitely at a level that was universally charming to all ages and genders.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able, at only a few years old, to steal Carina's heart, making her abandon her partners at the orphanage to roam the East Blue with him.
Short golden hair, emerald green eyes, a small face full of baby fat—he was simply the most perfect little shota in the world.
"Idiot, stop rubbing!"
Karl, whose face was being incessantly rubbed by Nami, reached out and pushed the little thief cat away.
Then he looked down at the hands extending from his long sleeves and said with great interest: "Even my skin has become smooth, and my voice... has actually become childish too."
"This characteristic is really not as simple as I thought."
How is this just controlling the body's size!
If it weren't for the fact that when he got bigger, Karl found his appearance didn't change, he would have felt that this As-You-Wish Size ability should be controlling his age.
But Karl's physical fitness didn't revert to a child's stage, which proved that As-You-Wish Size didn't control age.
Karl, in his child state, was consuming a certain amount of physical energy every second.
Of course...
This bit of consumption was completely insignificant to Karl, who had completed his third evolution.
After a brief estimate, Karl felt that if he didn't fight, he could maintain his current state for ten days.
If he replenished his physical energy by eating during that time, Karl could maintain it for as long as he wanted.
"A good ability." Karl nodded in satisfaction.
"Kawaii!!!"
However, Karl's serious, thoughtful appearance once again captured the hearts of Nami and the girls.
This time, Robin moved before Nami, pulling Karl into her embrace, rubbing his face hard, a satisfied expression on her face.
"Sister Robin, let go of me..."
Karl's small face was distorted from Robin's rubbing, his childish tone imitating that of an adult.
This voice immediately made Nami and Nojiko, who had been hesitant to approach, finally unable to resist joining in.
Shirahoshi sat behind Nami and the other two, looking moved but too embarrassed to speak, only twiddling her index fingers, biting her lower lip hard, and watching with envious eyes as the three girls "tormented" Karl.
It's unknown how long he was "tormented" by the three women, but Karl finally returned to his normal state, only then escaping from that hell.
From then on, Karl never dared to become small in front of the girls again...
