Instantly, the girls' eyes turned dangerously towards Makoto.
If he handled this poorly, it would be a total relationship battlefield!
But Makoto never feared a relationship battlefield. How could something this minor make him crash?
Under the girls' watchful gazes, Makoto said unhurriedly: "That depends on what type of Devil Fruit we get. Whoever it suits best will eat it."
"Airi, you specialize in Fire Release and Lightning Release. If we get a Wind-type Devil Fruit, of course I wouldn't give it to you."
"Someone like Ran, who primarily focuses on Taijutsu and the Eight Gates, doesn't need a Devil Fruit for the time being. Otherwise, it would just be gilding the lily."
"And Megumi is suited for a support-type fruit with maxed-out stealth, not a direct combat type."
"I will distribute the fruits based on your fighting styles."
Makoto's words made a lot of sense, but the girls weren't very satisfied.
After all, they wanted to take this opportunity to see who carried more weight in Makoto's heart.
Unfortunately, Makoto's answer was watertight... they couldn't find a single flaw.
While waiting, Makoto remembered something. He said to Nayuta, who was sitting in his lap: "Nayuta, go sign a contract with him."
With that, he pointed at Roger, who was standing not far away.
Although Makoto's group hadn't handcuffed or tied up Roger, since most of his crew was under control, Roger didn't dare act rashly.
The Kuja female pirates nearby were stunned, 'Contract? What was that?'
Hearing this, Nayuta jumped out of Makoto's lap and went to stand before Roger.
"Wh-What do you want?" Stared at by Nayuta's strange golden ringed eyes, Roger, for some reason, felt an oppressive force no less than Makoto's.
"Say, 'I am willing to enter into a contract'."
Nayuta's words seemed to possess a strange, bewitching power, making Roger pause for a moment.
The next second, under the astonished gazes of the Roger Pirates and the Kuja Pirates, Roger, as if hypnotized, lowered his head and repeated Nayuta's words with blank, unfocused eyes.
"I am willing to enter into a contract."
The legendary cave adventurer, Gaban, felt a strong sense of foreboding and shouted: "Hey! Little girl, what did you do to Roger?!"
Bang!
Beam gave Gaban a smack from behind: "Quiet! Chainsaw-sama didn't tell you to speak."
Makoto then had Nayuta sign contracts with every member of the Roger Pirates.
Yes, this way, there were guaranteed blood bags.
The players naturally knew why Makoto had Nayuta do this... after all, in the real world, Nayuta's abilities had been shown through the live stream.
But for new players like Miyuki and Saeko, who had limited relationships with Makoto, their understanding of Nayuta's abilities was just the tip of the iceberg.
Seeing the Roger Pirates, those great heroes, one by one, kneeling motionless like soul-deprived puppets, the Kuja Pirates' women were also dead silent.
Gloriosa leaned close to Shakky and whispered: "What is that child doing?"
Shakky shook her head.
But she instinctively felt it was nothing good.
Just then, the Roger Pirates regained consciousness, looking around in confusion: "Wh-What just happened?"
Makoto smiled: "Nayuta, want to try out your newly acquired power?"
Nayuta raised an eyebrow. With a shing, she drew Roger's beloved blade, Ace, from his waist.
Everyone except Makoto was stunned, watching the little girl lift Ace, a sword taller than herself, with one hand, wondering what she was about to do.
The next second, Nayuta raised the Supreme Grade Blade Ace behind her head… this familiar stance made Rayleigh, Gaban, and other Roger Pirates crew members' eyes change.
"That posture..."
Swish!
The next instant, Nayuta's small body swung the sword, unleashing a red sword energy slash that directly split the sea in two, carving a deep trench.
Seawater poured into the gap from both sides, failing to close for a long time.
Divine Departure!
That's right! Roger's signature move… Divine Departure!
"Wh-Why does that little girl know that move?"
'And its power was in no way inferior to Roger's.'
Not to mention the natives like the Roger Pirates and the Kuja Pirates, even Makoto's women like Megumi, and people like Kokoro who usually spent even more time with Nayuta than Makoto did, were left speechless with shock.
Although they already knew Nayuta could transfer all damage she received to her contractors through the contract, this was the first time they had seen her pull off a move like this.
"M-Makoto-kun, i-is this also this child's ability?" Yukiko asked, swallowing nervously.
Makoto smiled and nodded: "Yes. Nayuta can use all the abilities and experiences of her contractors and exert power at the same level… whether it's Ninjutsu, Devil Fruit abilities, swordsmanship, etc."
At these words, as they looked back at Nayuta, who had tossed Ace aside and curled back into Makoto's lap, not only the natives, but even the players were dumbfounded.
'Wasn't this ability just too overpowered?'
"There's more than one monster..." Gloriosa murmured quietly.
She had thought Makoto was the ace of this team.
But now, it seemed the real ace might be someone else.
"As expected of Chainsaw-sama!" Beam, never missing a chance to suck up, flattered, "You had the Control Devil contract with the strong of this world, and then created a new, invincible Control Devil, right?!"
At these words, the faces of the Kuja Pirates and Roger Pirates changed dramatically once again.
If that was the case, they couldn't even imagine how strong that little girl curled up in Makoto's lap would become.
"It's not that extreme." Makoto waved his hand.
He really didn't have that intention.
The main reason he had Nayuta contract with the Roger Pirates was as a precaution, to give Nayuta some extra blood bags.
Secondly, Nayuta could monitor the contractors' status through the contract at any time… after all, he was about to sell Roger off, and if Roger didn't father Ace, the Reincarnation System's quest couldn't be completed.
So Makoto decided to keep an eye on things, just in case Roger accidentally kicked the bucket.
"Boss, we're back!"
Just then, shouts came from the rear town. Everyone turned and saw the Four Gay Bros arriving with a Marine in a blue and white uniform.
During this time, Makoto's group had caused quite a commotion on the island, but since they hadn't attacked civilians, the Marines had turned a blind eye.
Of course, more importantly, they knew they couldn't handle it.
Seeing the Roger Pirates kneeling in a row, the leading officer, wearing a Marine coat with insignia indicating he was a captain, nearly dropped his jaw in shock.
'A group capable of subduing the Roger Pirates had appeared!?'
"Yo-You... hello." The lead Marine Captain saluted Makoto and introduced himself: "I'm Captain Comil of the Malad Island Marine Branch. I heard you wanted to contact our Fleet Admiral?"
'Comil?'
Makoto paused for a moment.
After racking his brain, he vaguely remembered this as the name of a future Marine Vice Admiral.
But after all, there were quite a few Marine Vice Admirals, and most of them were just speed bumps.
Unless they were Admiral candidates like Momousagi and Chaton, Makoto didn't have a deep impression.
Makoto didn't dwell on it. He raised his thumb and pointed at the Roger Pirates: "I want to make a deal with your Marines using them. Someone qualified to talk to me would probably only be the Fleet Admiral, right?"
Comil swallowed, nodded, and said: "No problem, but with my rank, I can only contact an Admiral. Please wait a moment..."
With that, Comil took a Den Den Mushi from his coat and, turning his back to Makoto's group, made a call.
Morgans chimed in: "The current Marine Admirals are only Kong. Of the two Admirals from the same era, one was killed by Rocks a few years ago, and the other retired recently due to old age."
"Oh, the Desk Admiral." Makoto said with little interest.
Morgans and the others looked bewildered.
'Huh? What the hell is the Desk Admiral?' (T/N: In China, Desk Admiral is often refer to characters who, due to poor combat record or being easily defeated in battle, are jokingly referred to by readers as 'desk personnel with the rank but not the strength'.)
