"But won't eating a Devil Fruit turn you into someone who can't swim? And you'll be afraid of water. Wouldn't that be dangerous if we encounter Water Release Ninjutsu in the future?" Konan expressed her concern.
"Don't worry, I'm preparing the top-tier Paramecia types for you. There are plenty of ways to deal with Water Release," Jin reassured her.
The Mera Mera no Mi's Ability Jin obtained from Ace didn't have the weakness of fearing water.
If Konan and the others ate Devil Fruits from the One Piece World, they would indeed have the weakness of fearing seawater.
But to be honest, Jin felt this drawback was insignificant.
Just look at the Admiral-level and Emperor-level Devil Fruit Users… which of them cared about the seawater weakness?
Not to mention, fruits like the Soru Soru no Mi and the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi allow the user to fly, which is enough to counter most Water Release attacks.
If Konan and Rin could train to Emperor-level, they wouldn't need to worry about such issues at all.
"The Soru Soru no Mi for Rin, the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi for Konan... You're really going all out. What about for Kurenai? It wouldn't be the Gura Gura no Mi, would it?" Nami commented from the side.
She was completely shocked by Jin's extravagance.
'Top-tier fruits were actually being given to these girls like they were free.'
"Not that far. Kurenai can't handle a top-tier fruit." Jin shook his head.
Hearing this, Kurenai immediately puffed up her cheeks in anger.
But being sulky was useless. Kurenai's strength was just at this level. In the original work, she only fought once, and that was when she got completely owned by Itachi.
To be honest, how dare this deadbeat girl Kurenai look down on Doflamingo?
If she could reach his level, she wouldn't have been tricked by that gold-digger into having a child and then become a widow just after turning thirty.
"By the way, Nami, is there any ability you want? Feel free to ask, don't be shy," Jin put his arm around Nami's fragrant shoulder and asked with a smile.
"No thanks, I don't want to become a landlubber," Nami calmly removed his paw.
However, her impression of Jin improved slightly.
To be fair, this guy was undeniably good to his own people.
In stark contrast was his cruelty towards enemies. Whether it was an Emperor's crew or Admiral-level Marines, he killed them without batting an eye.
Jin shrugged regretfully.
To be honest, he was somewhat looking forward to strengthening Nami and having her turn around to help him deal with the Straw Hats.
Although difficult, it wasn't impossible.
Doflamingo, whose wounds had mostly healed thanks to the Yang Release Senjutsu Chakra, climbed up from the deck, forcibly suppressing the fear in his heart.
He originally thought Jin was already arrogant enough for offending the Red Hair Pirates right after his debut, but he never expected him to now target not only the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi but also the Soru Soru no Mi.
And the user of the Soul Soul Fruit wasn't even dead yet!
'That meant he wanted to... deal with Big Mom...'
The Heavenly Yaksha couldn't help but break out in goosebumps.
Originally, he's planning to escape as soon as he regained mobility, but now, he changed his mind:
"Fufufu~ I've been to Tesoro's base, Gran Tesoro, several times. If you don't mind, how about I guide you there?"
Tesoro had business dealings with him, but at this moment, Doflamingo sold him out without hesitation.
In the New World, which was completely dominated by the Four Emperors, non-Emperor pirate crews needed a special skill to establish themselves.
Doflamingo relied on the vast network he built through the underground black market.
With his shrewd businessman's mind, he knew Jin's arrival would 100% break the balance maintained by the Four Emperors for over a decade.
Whether he could actually kill Big Mom or not, building a good relationship in advance was definitely not a loss.
"Woah~ That's great. But I'm not used to having men on my ship," Jin raised an eyebrow.
The rejected Doflamingo wasn't angry, or rather, didn't dare to be angry. He said with an awkward smile:
"Then, if you don't mind, could you grace Dressrosa with a visit? My ship is there and can guide you."
Seeing Doflamingo's boot-licking attitude, Hancock found it amusing internally.
'The Heavenly Yaksha, who jumped around like a monkey in front of Sengoku, was actually this cowardly.'
But Hancock wasn't in a position to mock Doflamingo either. Wasn't she quite unruly before? Now she's also... wilted?
...
After the agreement was reached, Doflamingo used his Ito Ito no Mi's ability to fly away.
Sunny continued sailing towards Dressrosa, arriving at Doflamingo's base two days later.
Jin didn't plan to stay long in this [Land of Love, Passion, and Toys].
Although the island was quite interesting, with the Corrida Coliseum, the toy factory, the Tontatta Tribe hidden on Green Bit, making it nice to visit as a tourist spot-
But right now, Jin was eager to take Hancock to Gran Tesoro to completely reshape her body and mind into his own form.
He didn't want to waste time here.
After the ship docked, Jin took out a Den Den Mushi, preparing to dial the number the newspaper king had left him.
"Jin-nii, someone's coming over there," Konan, standing by the ship's rail, suddenly pointed towards the dock and shouted.
Jin stopped dialing and turned to look.
He saw a person clad in a light gray cloak, completely wrapped up, only vaguely revealing half a chin, as if straight out of an Assassin's Creed set, walking up to Sunny and saying:
"May I ask if this is the Uchiha Pirates? I am Violet, an executive of the Donquixote Family. By Young Master's order, I am here to welcome Jin-sama to the palace."
As she spoke, the visitor removed her hood, revealing a face whose beauty was no less than Nami's, even exuding a more mature, charming aura.
The term 'Milf' seemed tailor-made for such a woman.
Although she called herself 'Violet', Jin knew well that this woman's true identity was Viola, the second daughter of Dressrosa's former king.
"This doesn't seem right, does it?" Jin chuckled lightly.
"I already agreed with the newspaper king to set off for Gran Tesoro immediately after meeting in Dressrosa. I didn't agree to go ashore."
Upon hearing this, a flicker of unease passed through Violet's eyes, but she quickly hid it and explained:
"Y-yes, Young Master has urgent matters to discuss with Jin-sama, so he requests your presence on the island."
"Is that so? Then there's no need to enter the city. I'll call him to come here," Jin said, starting to dial the number on the Den Den Mushi.
"Don't!" At this point, Viola couldn't hold back anymore.
Her wheatish skin turned pale, and she made a stopping gesture towards Jin.
Jin placed the receiver back on the Den Den Mushi's shell, resting his arms on the ship's rail.
"Just say what you came for directly."
Violet bit her lower lip hard, hesitating for a few seconds before saying tangledly:
"C-can we talk alone?"
Jin exchanged glances with the girls, then beckoned Violet aboard and led her into Luffy's room.
Nami was a bit worried.
After she and Jin got up from that room this morning, they hadn't cleaned it.
'Would there still be a smell?'
'Forget it, as long as Luffy couldn't smell it in the future.'
After following Jin into the room, the salty, fishy smell in the air, similar to seawater, made Viola's expression somewhat strange.
They were all adults, so those who understood, understood.
Forcing down the restlessness in her heart, Viola spoke again:
"Actually... 'Violet' is just my code name in the family. My real name is Viola, 'Riku Viola'!"
After revealing her true identity, Viola told Jin everything that happened ten years ago on that hellish night for the Riku royal family in Dressrosa.
It took a full ten minutes for Viola to pour out the nightmare-like experiences of the past decade. She almost treated Jin as a therapist.
However, when Viola looked up at Jin, she found his head nodding, clearly on the verge of falling asleep.
"Ah? Finished?" Noticing Viola's expression of anger she dared not voice, Jin yawned and asked in return:
"So, what about it? Do you want me to pity you?"
"Th-the day before yesterday, when Doflamingo returned and held a family meeting mentioning you, I could feel... he's afraid of you..." Violet clenched her fists, mustering the courage to look directly into Jin's eyes, "So, I want to ask you..."
"To help your Riku Family reclaim this country? What's in it for me?" Jin said lazily.
"You used your Giro Giro no Mi's Ability to find out Sunny's landing spot and came to see me secretly behind Doflamingo's back, right? No wonder you were so nervous earlier. But I'm really curious, what makes you think I'll help you? You probably know about my past actions. From which aspect did you deduce that I'm a kind person?"
Viola was left speechless.
She silently unbuttoned her purple-and-white spotted sleeveless top, unleashing her ultimate weapon, possibly even a size larger than Hancock's, before Jin.
Whether Jin was helpful or not, Viola didn't know. But she knew this man definitely had a taste for this.
Kidnapping the Pirate Empress was already world-wide news, and in just a few days, the Straw Hat Pirates' Cat Burglar and the legendary Mermaid Princess had joined the ship.
Even if Violet had never seen Jin in person before today, she could more or less deduce his interests from these clues.
However, unfortunately, Viola misjudged this time.
After appreciating it for a few seconds, Jin leaned back in his chair and said calmly:
"Put it on."
Viola's pupils constricted sharply as if struck by lightning.
'N-no... This shouldn't be the case!'
"Wh-why?" She was very confident in her assets. She had even secretly compared earlier, and Hancock was probably one or two sizes smaller than her. Nami was even smaller. As for Shirahoshi... well, naturally, there was no comparison.
"You overvalue yourself," Jin's plain expression carried a hint of mockery, making this beauty, who is two years younger than Hancock but exuding a stronger mature woman aura, turn pale.
To put it more bluntly, she's not worth that price.
Jin stated that his greatest virtue in business was honesty. With the dead guys in the group, he always delivered before taking payment.
How can Viola think that just by spreading her legs, she can get Jin to help her with such a big favor?
Is her skin made of gold, or are those weapons filled with diamond?
