After leaving Amazon Lily, Yami quickly teleported to the West Blue.
However, Yami had forgotten where he had separated from Carina and the girls.
So, Yami took out a Vivre Card, looked at the direction it was moving, and used his Clairvoyance and X-ray Vision to search for the Pegasus.
Soon, Yami saw the Pegasus docked at the shore of an island and teleported onto the deck.
"Master, you're back!"
Nami was the first to spot Yami, and with an electric field teleport, she threw herself into his arms.
At the same time, Carina and the other girls, who had been busy with their own things, also gathered around.
"Huh?"
Carina walked over, just about to hug Yami's arm and act cute, when she suddenly furrowed her brows. She leaned in and sniffed Yami, then smiled meaningfully, "Ufufufu... A strange girl's scent. Master, did you find a new sister for us again?"
"Scent?"
Nami was slightly taken aback, then she also sniffed Yami and questioned, "Carina, did you smell wrong? Master doesn't have a woman's scent on him!"
"Nonsense. Can your sense of smell compare to mine?" Carina couldn't help but roll her eyes at Nami, saying scornfully, "Don't compare a human nose to my Mythical Zoan, Dog-Dog Fruit, Model: Nine-Tailed Fox's sense of smell."
"Alright, I almost forgot about your dog nose," Nami said, shrugging helplessly.
Normally, Carina would have inevitably started bickering with Nami again. But this time, Carina ignored Nami and looked at Yami curiously, asking, "Master, I'm not wrong, am I?"
"You're half right."
Yami gave Carina a head pat and said without hiding anything, "I went somewhere for a while and found a powerful Haki teacher for you. That's the scent."
"A Haki teacher?"
Carina was slightly taken aback, then she smiled mischievously, "Is she really just a teacher? Could she be one of my future sisters?"
"That depends on her choice."
Yami didn't deny it, smiling. "If she gets along well with you and is willing to join, then she'll be a future sister."
"If she can't let go of her status, then I can only wish her happiness."
This was a lie.
Yami, who had prepared numerous strategies, had a whole set of tricks to deal with the Pirate Empress if one plan failed to ensnare Hancock.
Only a fool would give up on a perfect helpmate who was also the world's most beautiful woman.
Yami was an egoist; he wouldn't be satisfied unless he got both the woman and her wealth.
Carina and the girls, of course, were unaware of Yami's thoughts.
After hearing Yami's words, Carina was once again stunned. "Let go of her status? Could it be that our next teacher is a person of very high standing?"
"For the Boss to personally go and ask for help, if she's not of high status, she must at least be an incredibly powerful individual," Robin analyzed slowly. "And if she's an incredibly powerful individual, she should be a very famous figure on these seas."
"Robin is right. You should all know her name."
Yami nodded and didn't keep them in suspense any longer. "Her name is Boa Hancock, one of the Warlords of the Sea, the Pirate Empress."
"What?!"
"The Pirate Empress... you mean the Pirate Empress known as the world's most beautiful woman?"
"In just a few days, Master managed to hook up with the world's most beautiful woman?"
"Hiss..."
With the exception of Nojiko, the jaws of Carina and the other girls indeed dropped in shock.
They all liked to read magazines in their spare time and were no strangers to various rankings.
Girls are naturally confident in their own beauty, so when the title of "world's most beautiful woman" was taken by someone else, they would subconsciously feel a sense of rivalry.
But aside from Shirahoshi of Fish-Man Island, no matter how confident a woman was, she would feel inadequate upon seeing a photo of Hancock.
The gap in beauty and temperament, which could be felt even through a photograph, made countless women's hearts flutter and feel inferior.
Carina and Nami, whose figures had not yet fully developed, were among them.
Even Robin's red lips parted slightly. She was both surprised and enlightened. "If it's the ruler of that nation of powerful Haki users, then she is indeed one of the best teachers on the seas."
"Let's not talk about this for now. Where is Capone Bege?" Yami asked, changing the subject.
"He's in the cage in the lower cabin. We've locked him up with Seastone cuffs," Carina said quickly. "I'll go bring him up."
"No need. I'll do it—ROOM!"
Yami shook his head, raised his hand, and created a spherical, transparent light shield, then expanded it to envelop the Pegasus.
The next second, a man in a suit—unharmed but with his hands and feet bound by Seastone cuffs and iron chains, sitting limply on the floor with a cloth stuffed in his mouth—appeared out of thin air in front of Yami and his crew, along with a normal-looking fruit.
"Teleporting from a distance?"
Carina's and Nami's eyes widened again.
Then, Carina reacted instantly and asked, "Master, is that light shield the ability of the Paramecia-type Op-Op Fruit?"
"Yes."
Yami nodded. He looked at Capone Bege, whose eyes were wide and who was making muffled sounds as if trying to say something. He wasn't in a hurry to extract the Devil Fruit and asked curiously, "This guy doesn't have a single scratch on him. How did you capture him?"
"Ufufufu... It was all thanks to Perona."
Carina said with a grin, "Sister Robin and I were in charge of gathering intelligence and finding this guy's base. Nami was in charge of tracking his movements, and Perona was in charge of capturing him."
"Yeah, I was worried I might accidentally kill him. It's a good thing Perona was there," Nami nodded in agreement, praising her. "Perona's ability is too unbeatable and too useful. This guy and his subordinates had no way to resist at all."
"So that's how it is. Well done!"
Yami had a moment of realization, then he gave a thumbs-up to the blushing Perona.
"Hee hee, I'm not that amazing!"
Perona cupped her face and said with a shy smile.
In reality, her heart was filled with happiness and a sense of accomplishment.
Because she was finally able to help.
Crack!
At this moment, Yami also crushed Capone Bege's throat. The Worst Generation had lost another supernova.
A thick darkness was released, and with practiced movements, Yami extracted the fruit's ability.
When the black mist dissipated, the fruit that had appeared out of thin air with Capone Bege had transformed into a Devil Fruit with special spiral patterns—the Paramecia-type Castle-Castle Fruit.
