Kairo was kinda nervous, but Luffy didn't seem all that nervous as he questioned Robin about stuff. She seemed quite trustworthy with her words.
"So, can you read this?"
Robin looked at it. Yeah, she could read it. That was nice. When she asked if Luffy wanted to know where Pluton was, his answer was a simple "fuck no." He said no—the "fuck" part was just added for dramatic effect. He had no purpose for such a weapon; he wasn't adventuring for power. He was there to have a fun adventure and become the King of the Pirates.
So Pluton didn't really align with his goals, or whatever that thing was.
Anyway, the talk there was... heh... at best.
Kairo took a deep breath. Jeez, he had no problem speaking with Nami or Vivi, so why the hell was he acting like that for her? He clearly had no problem talking to women—for fuck's sake, he'd been deeper inside women than most men.
He was a surgeon, and some of his surgeries involved removing organs to look deeper inside the patients. So yes, he had been deeper in a woman than most men could claim.
But yet, this woman with dark humor was having him act like this. Outside this area, the tension had already fallen. Kairo would have made some hand seals.
He waited a bit, and it began to rain. Somewhere in the country, Sanji and Chopper were currently burning rain powder, and not only in this city but practically everywhere else in the country.
Chopper was a real genius, finding a way to modify the recipe for rain powder, spreading the effect so vast, reducing the side effects a bit. By spreading it so widely over such a long distance, the only side effect was that it would take a day longer for rain to start again than originally planned.
So hey, better. Though he wondered how the fuck Chopper did that in only a few days, while the ninja pills were taking so long.
Practically everyone had contributed to this, even Usopp. As small as his contribution may have been, Kairo may need to spend some one-on-one training with him, since he was falling behind so much.
Maybe feed him the sand fruit... actually, it would fit him.
As Kairo was about to teleport away to the ship, Luffy grabbed him.
"Where you going? The party's starting. There will be plenty of food."
Well, it seemed like his choice had been made. He sighed a bit, looked at his hand and the sand he could summon. It really felt like if someone ate this Devil Fruit it would be a shit-ton harder to do.
His power sounded quite OP—being able to resonate with Devil Fruits. He felt like as long as he himself did not eat a Devil Fruit, he would keep this ability. He was like an empty vessel. Think of One For All in My Hero: if you had a quirk before getting it, shit would kill you, but if you were quirkless, it would be a magical fit.[his guess is wrong, he resonates work differently]
TL;DR, acting like a semi-host for them. Though saying "host" like that sounded off; he didn't know how to exactly explain it. Well, he could study the fruit, and he wasn't really a sand man, so he wouldn't eat that shit even if it were the last thing he did.
A few hours later, Vivi returned. She seemed glad that the war had ended and that her people would finally be at peace for once in their lives. She was so happy, thanking them for their hard work.
The Strawhats seemed glad they could help.
"Anything for you, Vivi dearest," Sanji said, of course being a simp. You couldn't go 20 seconds without hearing his simpy dialogue.
Vivi seemed happy that they were all there. She didn't know how to thank them for their help.
And Luffy's ass was like:
"Meat... plenty of meat."
So food. Basically, he wanted food. Kairo had a clone transferring Crocodile's funds to himself right now, taking all his gold and so on. The man was dead; it would be nice if he could just take his stuff and use it for himself.
Usopp was bragging about his ingenious tactics and how he totally defeated Crocodile.
Kairo gazed at him.
"You still haven't shown me how good your Observation Haki is."
Usopp froze. Fuck, shit, mother of pearls. He was going to get caught in a lie once more.
"Enough about training, more meat!" Luffy said with the biggest smile on his face.
Usopp breathed a sigh of relief. Oh thank God, he was safe... for now.
But the way Kairo looked at him, he knew his ass was finna run a mile when this was done.
He had a face that basically said, I am fucked, Luffy please help me, this guy will ruin me.
