At midnight, you get summoned to the deck once more, blindfolded once more, and have to run through the same damn movements once more. Or, well, a thousand times more. At least Klaus calls it quits after that, rather than making you move on to practicing a different attack.

So idea for training Kami-e if the right situation ever comes up: Standing on deck during a storm, or any other event that makes the boat rock, with swords out stretched and use Kami-e to keep them perfectly parallel to the deck, possibly while meditating on them. Might give good results/bonuses.

Tashigi is busy reading the day’s newspaper when you track her down (Xiaolong pirates have had their bounties increased, you notice), though she looks up as you approach. “Good morning!” Ugh, Why is she so chirpy? Doesn’t she know anything before midday is ‘shouldn’t be awake’ time?

You flop down in a seat beside her, scowling. “No. It’s a shit morning. The worst.”

“... It’s probably not that bad?”

You scowl harder at the Unfairness Of The Universe. “I can’t figure out metal-cutting,”

Tashigi hmms,looking disbelieving. “I thought you already had?”

“Sure, like... MOST of the time. If the metal’s thin or kinda of shit. I can use it in combat, but it’s not as reliable as it could be, you know?”

“Well...” She perks up a little. “How about I help you out with it, and... maybe you can help me with something?”

>important lessons in facial hair care

“Sure,” you agree, nodding seriously. “I’ll teach you how to draw stubble on better.”

Tashigi’s eyes narrow as she glares at you. You suspect she’s trying to figure out whether you’re messing with her or honestly dumb enough to think that’s what she wants, so naturally, you keep an innocent and enthusiastic expression, eyes guileless.

“That’s... not what I wanted,” she finally grumbles. “And the stubble was fine, anyway! I had everyone fooled!”

“Especially Yu...”

“Pardon?”

“Nothing! So, uh, what was it you wanted help with, then?”

She looks unsure now. “Well - you know how much I love Shigure. I’ve trained with her for so long now.”

Yeah, yeah, you don’t need sword backstory, you of all people don’t need to be told that a sword is a sweet, darling, stabby child that one develops a natural and loving connection with.

... Is this why Smoboss keeps calling you and Tashigi ‘sword-freaks’? Hm. A mystery, to be sure.

“But...” Tashigi looks almost ashamed now, head ducking. “The fact is, I’m not increasing my skills as... rapidly as I’d like to. Of course I’m still training as hard as I can, but - I’m thinking of learning dual-wielding with Kashu.”

Kashu? Oh yeah, the meito she won.

>honestly, a moustache would be better

“So you’re trying to copy me, huh? Understandable, I’m an incredible role model.“ Sure, you occasionally ditch your job so you go challenge princes to duels, or take down an enemy, let them go, eat ice cream and then neglect to mention said enemy to your boss, but still! You do your paperwork real well, and ain’t that the most important thing?

No?

Oh. Well, anyway.

“Well, I think that’s a great idea! You know what they say, a sword in each hand keeps the doctor away!” You pause to consider. “I’m pretty sure that’s right.”

“That’s... Yes, exactly.” You can see the exact moment Tashigi gives up. It’s beautiful. “So if I help with your metal-cutting, maybe you could show me the basics of dual-wielding?”

You finger-gun, because it seems appropriate. Or maybe finger-swording would be better? Is that a thing? Maybe you should ask Klaus, he’s the sword expert. “You’re on. To the deck!”

>80, 93, noice

Up on deck, you begin with metal-cutting, because Tashigi is nice enough to help you out first, and you take shameless advantage of that. Ha!

It turns out that you’re over-thinking things, which is... unusual for you. Standing still and slashing act bits of scrap metal turns out to be far less effective than actually pretending it’s a fight and focusing on your target as an enemy’s weapon, or an actual obstacle to be removed.

Higher-quality metal is still a problem, at least if it’s thick, but you’re pretty confident in cutting the average pirate’s blade now. A little more, and you’d call yourself ‘very’ confident of the same.

(Metal-cutting to B.4!)

As for Tashigi, she takes to wielding both Shigure and Kashu like a duck to eating bread and then choking on it. Or, uh, water. One of the two.

There’s a bit of trouble at the beginning, but she’s learned to wield Shigure with her off-hand in a pinch, so that helps. You wouldn’t call her ready to dual-wield in actual combat, but by already being an excellent swordsman with a single blade, that’s about three-quarters of the issue already gone.

By the end of the lesson, Tashigi can at least parry strikes close to her with Kashu, even if she can only attack with Shigure. Once she can attack or defend with both at the same time without difficulty, you both agree she’ll be ready to kick ass in an actual fight, but for now, regular-one-sword ass-kicking only.

Okay, so you’re at... +45 for swords usually. Then plus 4 for each when dual-wielding (so +8 total), so +53. Wow.

Assuming Grand Line mooks (stronger than Blues), I’d say you can beat... 16 without any real trouble? After that, start rolling. This is of course assuming mooks, not pirate officers, etc.

That’s for swords, lower numbers for fans, jitte, etc.

>31, absolutely appalling, I expected better. where are ace abs? where is garp?

In the afternoon, as several of the men lean over the railings, placing bets on Yu and her training (you've found out who demanded a harpoon gun get put on the supply list), you find yourself told of a terrible and monstrous trouble that has befallen your precious ship.

"It looks like the ship's cat managed to get off at Renaisse, sir," a spiky-haired infantryman tells you bluntly, with the haggard eyes of a man who's had to crawl onto every nook and cranny on the damn ship to find a missing cat. "The rats are going to be a problem soon."

So this is how you die. Eaten in your sleep by rats. Well, that's just how it is.

You fold your arms. "Well, Spikes -"

"It's Cyril, sir."

"- I think there's only one thing to do."

"Put poison out?"

"... Oh. Yes, that's... that's exactly what I meant."

Spikes eyes you cautiously. "Of course, sir."

"And if the cat gets found, we arrest it for dereliction of duty!"

"Didn't you also run off in Renaisse, sir? Twice?"

"... Shut up, Spikes."

You spend the next hour helping to measure and lay out poisons and traps, and trying not to sulk.

Can't wait to tell him how much progress we've made on observation haki.

Mr Speedy rings several times, recently sated with lettuce, before you pick up. The caller is, against all odds, Doctor Lighthouse.

Is he finally ready to seek JUSTICE for whatever terrible crime was committed against him? Has he remembered he didn't tell you not to give the book to anyone, and you've got to either lie your ass off or beg for mercy? Is he just really drunk and lonely?

None of these, apparently.

"The paper says you won the Renaisse Duelling Tournament, kid," he says bluntly, not even bothering with a greeting. "How much did you use Observation for it?"

Doctor Lighthouse, you may have the combined skills of a doctor and lighthouse keeper, but apparently neither of those include politeness.

He pauses. "You didn't use any. At all."

"That was another Ensign on my ship, Tashigi. She wanted to compete, but it's men only, so..." You shrug, even though it can't be seen. "I DID duel and beat the champion of the previous two tournaments though, if that makes up for it."

Doctor Lighthouse make a vaguely interested noise. "You really have a habit of getting into trouble, huh? Your Captain sure didn't exaggerate."

"Yeah, well, my Observation is detecting that Smoboss is a filthy liar," you grumble, in a mature and professional manner. You hear what you think MIGHT be an amused snort from the doctor, but it passes too quickly to be sure. "... I gave the book to him, by the way."

"And?"

"... I just... figured I should tell you? Because you gave it to me?"

"Yeah, I gave it to you. It's yours. You can do whatever you want with it. Hell, throw it overboard, if you want, as long as you're done with it. I take it you ARE done with it?"

"I might reread it again, when I'm more advanced, but... I think I'm doing okay for now?"

"How far have you got with Observation?"

It sounds more like a demand than a question.

>>3415971
>I can sort of predict a bunch of different actions and reactions in a fight now. Can pick up on emotions as well, though I can’t really tell exactly what’s coming from who, if there’s a bunch of people around.

>>3415971

>>3415971
>>3415980
Support

>>3415980
>>3415971
Support this.

But also maybe add that we still struggle with splitting headaches if we overuse it? Maybe the doctor can give some advice to help with those.

>>3415971
>In combat, I can use it reliably enough to tell what my enemies will do, though when I fought the champion, there were so many possibilities, it just hurt to watch. I can also tell what people are feeling, though it's pretty vague.

>>3415971
I can use it more often than not. I can sense hoe people feel and I can predict what people will do in a fight. It does hurt my head after a bit though

>>3415971
>>3415980
Support, but same as the guys above, a mention about the headaches would be a good idea.
If it's supposed to be a common problem for people learning Observation, one would expect there to be a solution. Or at least we can confirm IC that it will go away for good once we do git gud.

You try to gather your shiny awesome progress into a short summary. "I can sort of predict a bunch of different actions and reactions in a fight now. Can pick up on emotions as well, though I can’t really tell exactly what’s coming from who, if there’s a lot of people around. If I use it for too long, or if my opponent's too good, I start to get a headache though. Same if I try to look more than a couple of moves ahead."

There's a longer pause this time. "The headaches are normal," he finally says, almost dismissively. "Don't try to overuse it though, your brain'll slowly get better at handling Observation Haki, but too much at once'll cause serious problems."

You bite your lip. "What kind of problems? How serious?"

"... Your brain'll explode."

"WHAT?!"

"Just kidding."

You manage not to topple to the cabin floor from mingled relief and rage. "Don't scare me like that!!"

"Well, seriously, you'll get a bleed and probably die anyway, so don't do it. If it starts getting more than you can tolerate, shut it straight down and don't use it for a while. Think of it like a muscle that you need to build up."

"Got it. What about, um, painkillers or something?"

"Afterwards, sure. That's just masking the pain though, not removing the damage, so don't think you can pop a couple of pills before a fight and then use however much Haki you want." His tone is lecturing. Definitely a doctor. "And if there's any lingering effects a while after you've deactivated it, you call me immediately."

"Shouldn't I talk to the ship's doctor first?"

Mr Speedy glares at you.

"... I guess that's a no," you decide.

"Looks like it hasn't quite destroyed your brain yet. Good. Now... calmness is important to Observation, as I'm sure my book hammered into you, so try practicing it out of combat as well. Prediction or emotion-sensing, whichever, getting better at one will help your brain process the other."

You nod. "Aye, aye, Doctor!"

"And your brain needs all the help it can get."

"... Your bedside manner is kind of awful."

"Better my bedside manner than a Marine doctor's undoubted incompetence, boy."

>(Anything else?)

>i didn't think you guys would vote for this, but good job on picking best route

"Thanks for all the help anyway, doc," you say, reassured not to be having your head explode. "So how have things been with you?"

There's audible confusion on the other end. "Me?"

"Yes? You?" Is it really that weird? Man, he definitely doesn't do politeness, huh?

After a brief silence, Doctor Lighthouse talents, begrudgingly filling you in on the few recent moments of interest - a pirate ship that nearly smashed to pieces getting over the Mountain but just barely made it, the recent happiness of a nearby island whale, a storm that ended in a hail of salted haddock (unusual even for the Grand Line).

By the time the call ends, he sounded almost comfortable, complaining about the idiots who pass by (or occasionally try to rob the lighthouse). Obviously not comfortable enough to ask for JUSTICE, but it's kind of nice anyway. Plus, he clearly loves the whale, no matter how much he complained about it's enthusiasm.

All in all - good call. And you got some decent doctor-y orders out of it, too.

Sorry, this is a roll for Klaus' own style, also known as Squeaking Rat, Splintered Toothpick style.

>84, not too bad

At midnight, you find yourself once more on the deck, once more blindfolded, once more moving through the same simple techniques, with a single sword.

The repeated movements are simultaneously mind-numbing and frustrating, and you constantly have to drag your mind back from thoughts of the day ahead, food, kicking Roronoa in the dick, techniques, your friends, shoving Klaus overboard (you get a suspiciously large rock to the back after that one, and decide a different fantasy is in order), and what to call your rapier.

You're kind of considering naming it after Roronoa, mostly for the pun.

In any case, you snap to attention when Klaus calls out you've completed the set, to find that the sword was once again almost forgotten, your body running through the movements without thought.

You're not sure whether that's good or bad, but Klaus seems cheerful and you're way too tired to ask.

(+1 to Klaus' style!)

Clearly your grandfather was a prettyboy like you, and your mother inherited his ~pretty~ genes to pass on to you.

... Do I now have to work out who the hell your grandfather was?

>>3416213
WELL, NOW
Dem Charlotte genes are coming through strong...

>>3416213
...is it Mina's?

Oh god, if we're related to Charlotte Linlin, what if Mina's actually our cousin/sister?

>>3416219
I mean, you have to factor in Who and What exactly are grandfather was and the chances of him taking a pirate as a lover. Espessially one of Charlotte's brood.

>>3416220
Mina isn't related to you, and her DF isn't candy based. I kind of want to dump a candy based Fruit on you now, wtf dice.

>>3416224
Yeah, I mean he'd have to have 'interesting' blood somehow, either by being non-human, or someone important/powerful enough that Linlin wanted either the genetics or the political power attached to the guy. Probably a pirate, as that seems to be norm for her partners, I think.

eeeeeeeeeh let's see who ends up being Flashman's biomom before about our maternal grandfather, though if Big Mom ended up recognizing Flashman because he looked like his grandpa but blonde that would be neat.....wait

>"Maybe I should take the pretty boy for myself, it's been a while since I had some eyecandy to play with..."
Fucking hell, I hate my brain

>>3416232
No I mean Our grandfather was a World Noble, so there is no way he fucked and impregnated a Pirate, and there is no way Linlin managed to force or trick a marrige there somehow. The WG would never allow it nor would the other Celestial Dragons/Elder Stars.

>>3416232
>I kind of want to dump a candy based Fruit on you now, wtf dice.
I know some Anons don't care for having a DF, but if you come up with a sweet Devil Fruit I'll not scoff at it!
And if Anons are worried about not being able to swim we just need to find someone to teach us Geppou so we can air-walk/hop over bodies of saltwater.

>>3416239
Anon we're talking about our grandfather on our mom's side, not our dad's side.

>>3416239
Paternal granddad is WN. BPQM’s talking about /maternal/ granddad

>>3416237
[PUKING INTENSIFIES]

>>3416239
... uh, the spoiler is on your FATHER'S side of the family. We don't know yet what's going on with the mother's side, but I doubt you have (spoilers) on both sides. That's statistically too stupid even for me.

>>3416244
that still circles around to our dad actually marrying the kid of one of the most infamous pirates in the world who is also infamous for using her kids marriages as ways to secure alliances and powers.

Grandfather would never marry someone related to a pirate because of his station.

>>3416252
*circles around to our granddad

fucking typos

>>3416232
>>3416250
I am still up for having some Mink blood somewhere, like 1/8 of it or something. It's not too outlandish with the Charlotte family isn't it?

>>3416252
Our dad didn't marry anyone, it was a one night stand and we were just a happy little accident.

>>3416252
.... Anon, Flashy's dad never married anyone. Flashy is the result of a one night stand (possibly a drunken one).

And while your PATERNAL grandfather certainly never married a pirate, we know sweet f' all about your maternal one.

>>3416257
Normally I would say mink is too weird, but honestly, if anyone in the One Piece world would yiff for a cause, it'd be her. I mean, it's up to anons, and not for a while yet anyway, but I guess it's possible.

>>3416260
It's more for shenanigans during future arcs than to have any visible result on Flashy. But as I said before you do you, just pick something that works.

>>3416260
OP, I put in an edit message right below that saying I meant our grandfather.

And let me clarify this.

Homing, our paternal grandfather, married a woman. This woman, was judged to be of good enough standing, that she would be granted the privilege of marrying one of the Rulers Of The World.

Do you HONESTLY think, that he was going to marry her, his would be wife and her family wasn't examined from top to bottom for 'tainted blood' and shit?

People can meme all they want, maybe our dad did fuck a random Charlott, but there is no chance in hell our WN granddaddy married someone who was the kid of a pirate, or a nonhuman.

>>3416272
that you think works*
>>3416275
Bruh, we talking about maternal lineage.
As in father of our mother.

Metal cutting in the morning goes... okay. Ish. But the seas were rough, and you didn't get much sleep after your first damn bout of training, so...

"Seriously, prettyboy," Klaus sighs, after you swing Ka-tan and somehow miss the cracked piping you were aiming at. "Go get some sleep."

"Mmmgngngh," you say, the voice of reason.

"... Yeah, I'm not even gonna try to pretend I understood that," Klaus decides, eyeing you weirdly. "Look, you've already given it a shot - a not entirely shit one, even - so go sleep."

You give in and stagger off back to the cabin for a quick nap. You obviously need one - you even hallucinated you saw a rat peek out of Klaus' coat pocket, which is clearly ridiculous.

(Metal Cutting to B.45!)

I could just be remembering this wrong...

>>3416281
>>Talk to Mina and see what she's going to do in Alabasta

>>3416275
These are two completely different sides of the family (if there's anyone who somehow doesn't know Flashy's father's heritage, please SKIP PAST THIS COMMENT, I can't be bothered to spoiler).

Homing and his wife were CDs (or he was and she was something else, but whatever). They had Dofla and Rosi. Rosi had Flashy. That is Flashy's paternal line, which includes NO Charlottes.

Assuming we go the Charlotte route, Charlotte Linlin (Big Mom) gets with a guy who WE HAVEN'T DECIDED ON, but who is NOT a CD, and has a daughter (probably an original character, as yet uncertain). This daughter meets Rosi and they do the horizontal tango. This is Flashy's MATERNAL lineage, which has no CDs.

Rosi had no idea who he was banging, and his own father was way too dead to care.

>>3416285
Huh?

>>3416275
Are you literally retarded or something or is this just some shitty bait?

>>3416293
You were, but this then changed ICly because ~weather and supply issues~ and OOCly because I decided it worked better this way.

As QM, I have the incredible power to change shit on the fly when I decide I prefer something, mwahaha!

>>3416232
Let's see, candy and food based Devil fruits...

So far, we've seen:
Pero Pero no Mi, eaten by Perospero (Candy creation and manipulation)
Bisu Bisu no Mi, eaten by Cracker (Biscuit creation and manipulation
Kuri Kuri no Mi, eaten by Opera (Cream creation and manipulation)
Bata Bata no Mi, eaten by Galette (Butter creation and manipulation)
Mochi Mochi no Mi, eaten by Katakuri (Mochi creation and manipulation)

And in Non-Canon from the Fourth movie, the Ame Ame no Mi, eaten by Gasparde (liquid candy Logia).

So if you wanted to give us a candy-based Devil Fruit, there's still lots of options. Chocolate, bubble gum, pop rocks, marshmallow, you name it.

>>3416281
Mina, what's your DF powah (slurred due to our lack of sleep shortly before passing out

>>3416295
Seconding. See if we can't also ask what her DF power is.

also, threadly reminder for QM to tell us when to stop voting

>>3416285
All three sources, soon to be four, look the same. Without counting the mental image she has of herself she looks like a giant maneating venomous spider would look like with none of the cutesy stuff. Even if you count the mental image her appearance doesn't really change across mediums either way.

>>3416303
This is useful, thank you! Was there also a syrup fruit at some point, or am I missing it up with something else?
Also there's always ultimate basic of candy fruits - a Sugar DF.

But whyyyyyyyyy

Because both you and the spider somehow manage to come across as cute via just text.

>>3416329
Anytime! The closest thing to a syrup fruit would be the Ame Ame no Mi from the fourth movie, but there hasn't been anything in canon so far.

Also, a sugar DF!? QM, do you WANT us to steamroll the Big Mom pirates? (but seriously, I'd be totally down for a sugar DF, you do you QM)

>>3416329
>syrup fruit
Wasn't that the liquid candy one?

>Sugar DF
Not against it, but how would it work? What could Flashman do with it?

>>3416329
Could give him a fruity drink Fruit.

>teeny sis smolboss

After a couple of hours catching up on lost sleep (you're not avoiding duties, you're performing essential maintenance yourself. Via naps.), you go to find Mina.

Mina is... practically bouncing, obviously ecstatic, and apparently Smoboss gave her permission to tell you why, though it's still a general secret.

She said yes to the adoption.

"It's gonna take a while," Mina pouts, although working in the office has taught her a healthy respect for the pure but slow processes of bureaucracy. "Cap- He says even if it's hurried, it'll still take a couple of weeks."

"That's, uh, pretty damn fast, actually," you say, raising an eyebrow. Either East Blue adoptions are much smoother and faster processes than the ones back home, or Smoboss is totally pressuring- yeah, he's terrifying them into making it snappy, isn't he?

Mina sulks at you anyway, demanding commiseration rather than excuses, so you promptly hug her and have a deep and meaningful conversation about her comic books.

... Okay, so you argue over who could beat up who. Whatever.

The debate comes to an end.when Mina, fidgeting, asks, "Should I call him dad?"

You don't fall for her cunning ruse to deflect from the argument that you're totally winning, but as a mature adult, you allow the subject change. Because you won, so ha.

"Well, it might be kinda weird if you keep calling him Captain or Smoker," you admit. "Dad. Daddy. Papa. Pops. Father is kind of formal. Decide on what you feel comfortable with, I guess. I mean, it's guaranteed to be weird at first, right?"

Mina stares at her comic book before putting it aside. "Flashy?"

"Mina-y?"

She looks up at you, eyes uncertain. "Can I tell you a secret? Sm- Daddy said I wasn't meant to tell anyone, because it might get me or them hurt, but you're strong, right?"

>I'm the strongest! (FLEX) ... Except for Smoboss. (sad, lesser flexing)
>If Smoboss told you not to tell people... you probably shouldn't.
>You probably shouldn't tell me, but do it anyway. I pinky swear I won't tell.
>Other?

>>3416338
I'm very confused, but okay?

>>3416360
I'm both a hyper-masculine lumberjack and a pink spider, according to 4chan. Gotcha.

>>3416389
I literally have no idea, just the first thing that sprung to mind when I thought 'sweets'. Could be either a Paramecia or a Logia I guess, but no idea about details.

Besides, I know most people either don't want a DF, or want a certain spoilery one from their heritage.

>>3416389
Well drowning a man in molten caramel or stringing them up in cotton candy are the first things to leap to mind.

>>3416397

>>3416397

Not really a fan of getting a DF. We could make it work if we have to, but it doesn't really feel like Flashman to me.

I guess I'm just worried that Sugar powers would be a bit too similiar to Perospero's Candy Powers - because let's face it, that fruit basically DOES manipulate sugar.
A bit of brainstorming could keep them separate enough of course, but it might be better to come up with something else that Sugar.

>

There's only one response to that.

BRAGGING.

"I'm the strongest!" You flex your bicep, showing... some movement under the sleeve. Oh, yeah, you've got a short and jacket on. "... Except for Smoboss," you add in a mutter, attempting to flex again.

Mina giggles, the traitor. "Okay! I'm going to tell you, but you can't tell AAAAAANYone else. Promise?"

You salute. "Marine's honor!"

Leaning closer, Mina's face turns determined, hands fisting in her lap. "I've got a Devil Fruit."

"... Yeah, I know."

"Ah! Really?!"

Were you not meant to? "Well... when we first met, you had seastone on, so..."

"Oh. Okay." She promptly drops back from surprised to serious. "But! You don't know what type it is, right?"

You shake your head, making sure to look solomn in the face of a tiny child trying to be mysterious.

"Good! It's a big secret, so listen up. It's a really, really cool and strong fruit, and S- daddy's been teaching me how to use it when we're alone, 'cause I'm not allowed to use it on people. Wanna see it?

>Show me!
>Maybe just tell me what it is, for now.
>Other?

>>3416471
Understandable, but IF you guys decide to use a DF, that's a long way off anyway. We'll revisit potential DFs some other time, I'm just throwing ideas around for now.

... It can't be the ice cream fruit though, or Flashy will commit suicide via eating himself.

No one wants to be Ranma. Not even Ranma wants to be Ranma until he learns how to use it to trick people into buying him food.

>>3416533
To this day I will never understand why he didn't just go back to the drowning pools to fix his problem. He knows there's a drowned man pool, he was still in China for a few months after that, AND he could have always worked to afford a ticket and go back to China to fix it at any point in the series, and the same could be said for every other character that had the same curse. Seriously I loved the series growing up and still do, it was one of the first manga I ever read, but it was so damn stupid.

>>3416559
Plot reasons
Strangely it was my first manga too. Hell I still go back and read it sometimes even twenty-ish years later. It is a fun story but in no way a solid one.

>>3416533
He enjoys it well enough and even uses to it do "unmanly" shit he couldn't before.
>He once boasted that his female form had a larger bust than Akane, despite that she was happy about her own growing bosom.
>Apparently Ranma takes pride in his strength, skills and basically being a man, while in female form she takes pride in her beauty, but still takes her pride as a martial artist seriously.
>Perhaps most prominently, he routinely uses his shapely female form, combined with a fabricated innocent persona, to convince hormonal boys to treat him to food, or buy something he is attempting to sell. Ranma also does this to set up simple traps for Happosai or as part of schemes to fool, make fun of, or play with Ryoga's feelings.
>He has often used his female form to conceal his true identity from others, most notably Ryoga and his mother, Nodoka. Other times he has used it to obtain favors from Kuno, or other situations when being female would benefit him. Sometimes, he's even taken pride in that his girl form is more attractive than Akane. In the anime, he enjoys ice cream Parfait, although he is always female when she eats them because he considers it somewhat embarrassing for men to consume.

Poor Flashy would try to use it as a disguise, only for no-one to notice any difference.

>here it is

"Maybe just tell me what it is, for now." In case she turns into an elephant zoan and breaks the room, for example.

"Okay!" Lowering her voice (even though you're in her cabin and no-one's going to overhear you), she whispers, "I ate the Blood Blood Fruit."

....

The what now?

You stare at her blankly, and she scowls. "Well?!"

>Wow, that sounds really scary, Mina! I bet you'll kick a load ass with it! (headpat)

The only reason they never did it was because something stupid happened every time Ranma was about to.

One hell of a coincidence that she ended up wielding the blunt weapon. Unless she's a Logia or something, then holy hell is that going to be terrifying to watch.

Also holy, fucking, shit. That is scary as hell.

My brain is now trying to hear all her lines in a Transylvanian accent.
It's weird.

Also, using her logia intangibility to phase through attacks must like terrifying

Eh, I'm iffy on that actually working with the full spring instead of as with the instant powder considering Pantyhose Taro. Apparently Rumiko has said something about whether it would actually work or not but I haven't been able to find it last time I searched.

>>3416592
Oh shit, she's a blood bender. At least, I think that's the gist of it.

>That's awesome!

>edgelady supreme

You make sure to sound appropriately impressed. Wow, that sounds really scary, Mina! I bet you'll kick a load ass with it!"

Sounds more edgy, to be honest. You hope she isn't going to start wearing all-black and composing depressing poetry.

Whatever the case, you give her a good headway while she looks pleased at the praise, snuggling up in satisfaction.

You were kind of hoping she'd be a puppy zoan, but whatever makes her happy, you guess.

>(Anything else?)

Because I am super curious as to what the fuck a Blood Blood fruit can do.

Ask her if she ate the Devil Fruit before or after she was sold. I've been wondering if she was sold because she is a devil fruit user or not...

>You said you've been practicing with your dad, right? What sorts of things can you do with it so far?
>Just remember, Mina - there's no such thing as a weak Devil Fruit. When people say that, they're actually talking about people who aren't creative enough to realize how useful their fruits actually are. The strongest Devil Fruit users are the ones who try things with their fruit that no one else would even consider, and really think outside the box! And with a fruit like yours, I bet there are all kinds of amazing things you can do if you think hard enough!
>(Serious Flashy) But talk to your dad about ideas you have before you actually try them, okay? This is very, very important. I don't want you to accidentally hurt yourself or someone else.

K current metal cutting is B.2 before this update linked.

After is it B.25 or B 2.5 Because we have a bonus at B.5 and this seems like a large jump from 2 to 25 here
