As the flames surged into Sinan’s palm and touched that layer of white halo, they dissipated and transformed into pure energy that Sinan absorbed.
Instantly, Sinan felt his nearly depleted stamina being replenished.
This was yet another ability Sinan displayed after generating vibrations, discharging electricity, and releasing the lubricating halo—energy absorption.
Rather than calling it energy absorption, it was more like charging and powering up.
Ordinary elements like vibration, electric shock, lubrication, and charging might not seem like much on their own.
But combined together, and considering the Devil Fruit was pink and shaped like a cucumber, it inevitably brought some highly wicked things to mind.
And this wasn’t even the entirety of his powers.
Sinan felt that once he got familiar with his abilities, he could unleash even more functions.
It wasn’t unheard of for a single Devil Fruit to possess multiple abilities.
For example, the Op-Op Fruit came with a whole set of surgical skills.
It was just that the applications of Sinan’s powers were slightly…
indecent.
The energy absorption ability could absorb various types of energy and convert them into the user’s stamina.
The types of energy he could absorb included, but were not limited to, kinetic energy, electrical energy, light energy, thermal energy, physical slashes, flying slashes, and shockwaves.
The absorption ability seemed invincible, but it came with two major limitations: absorption efficiency and storage capacity limit.
Attacks that were too powerful couldn’t be fully absorbed, meaning high-intensity attacks could still injure the user.
Furthermore, absorbing too much energy beyond his limit would also harm him.
The raging flames were completely absorbed by Sinan in just a few breaths.
Before he could make another move, an impatient Nami dashed straight into the captain’s cabin, which looked like it could collapse at any moment.
Soon, Nami’s delighted laughter echoed from inside the captain’s cabin.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
Nami walked out carrying a treasure chest even larger than herself.
There was absolutely no sign that she was a weak girl; clearly, the power of money was limitless.
Bang!
The chest slammed heavily onto the deck, making the entire floor tremble.
As a professional thief, Nami possessed superb lock-picking skills, and she effortlessly unlocked the chest.
Because the chest was reinforced with thick iron and the fire hadn’t burned for too long, both the chest and the treasures inside were perfectly intact.
The faint firelight illuminated the chest.
The gold inside gleamed brilliantly, causing Nami to scream in sheer joy.
Based on her experience, Nami roughly estimated that the gold and cash inside were worth at least 20,000,000 Berries.
This meant that she only needed to pull off one more heist and earn another 10,000,000 or so.
Combined with her savings over the years, she would soon be able to buy Cocoyasi Village and finally gain her freedom.
“This is amazing, Sinan!” Thrilled, Nami instantly hugged Sinan, burying his face straight into her cleavage for an accidental motorboat.
This completely caught Sinan, who was still healing the prostitute, off guard, leaving him with no idea what to do.
Warm, elastic, and incredibly soft.
Feeling the wonderful sensation pressing against his face, Sinan was absolutely certain that while Miss Nami might look young and green, her massive, bountiful fruits were definitely no smaller than the papaya-sized tits of the prostitute.
After giving him a tight hug, Nami immediately went back to counting her money.
Seeing Nami happily counting her cash, and having confirmed that the prostitute was temporarily safe, Sinan walked over to her.
Even though there was a massive amount of cash in the chest, it was mostly in small bills, along with some gold bars and gold jewelry.
Sinan wasn’t Nami, so he couldn’t estimate exactly how much all of this was worth, but that didn’t stop him from feeling elated.
After all, he had never seen so much money in his life.
“Nami, I contributed quite a lot.
You should at least give me half!” Sinan suggested.
As they say, talking about money ruins relationships.
The moment she heard Sinan asking for a cut, Nami instantly bristled like an angry cat.
“Impossible!
Don’t even think about it!
It’s all mine.” With that, Nami threw her arms around the treasure chest and sprawled across it to protect it from Sinan.
She shot him a vicious glare, acting as if she would fight him to the death if he even tried to snatch a single coin.
Glaring at Sinan, Nami fiercely declared, “I saved you from the ocean!
Between your food, drinks, and boarding for the last two days, you owe me 22,000,000 Berries!
And what’s even more unforgivable is that you hogged an entire Devil Fruit for yourself!
You actually owe me 500,000,000 Berries!” Well, it felt like his debt had just multiplied exponentially.
Sinan felt he had been utterly blinded by greed, touching a completely raw nerve.
Not only did he fail to get a single cent, but he somehow ended up owing her an astronomical amount.
But Sinan still argued back, “Didn’t you say it was 11,000,000 Berries this morning?!
How did it turn into 20,000,000?!” “Sorry, the price went up!” Nami replied like a true money-grubber, her eyes completely filled with giant $$ symbols.
Seeing Nami’s money-crazed expression, Sinan knew it was impossible to get any cash out of her.
In fact, he might literally have to work as her slave to pay off his massive debt.
After packing up all the loot, Nami searched the pirate ship one more time but failed to find another Devil Fruit.
So, Nami added yet another charge to Sinan’s tab, claiming that because Sinan had punched Butcher Bakal right into the ocean, they couldn’t turn his head in to the Marines to claim his bounty.
Sinan took another innocent bullet.
And just like that, an operation that was originally meant to be a stealthy theft perfectly concluded as a violently explosive robbery.
The prostitute was also very lucky; her two female companions hadn’t run away.
Of course, the main reason they hadn’t fled was because Butcher Bakal hadn’t paid them yet.
Every trade has its rules.
Since Bakal had fucked the whores, even if he was dead now, someone still had to pay up.
The night deepened.
Although Sinan and Nami had caused a massive ruckus, the docks were far from the residential area.
It wasn’t until the next morning, when the port workers arrived, that they discovered the infamous Butcher Bakal was dead and his pirate ship burnt to a crisp.
The Butcher Pirates were completely wiped out, instantly causing a massive uproar.
…
She had originally just come to Bahama Island to gather intelligence, yet unexpectedly made an absolute fortune.
Watching the treasures pile up in her chest, Nami’s face bloomed with a joyous smile.
Looking at the loot inside the chest, Nami then glanced at the locked cabin door.
She knew Sinan was sitting right outside.
Thinking back to how much effort she spent fishing Sinan out of the waves yesterday, Nami felt it was the greatest investment she had ever made.
The sum she earned today would have taken her at least half a year of hard work to gather, or maybe even a whole year if her luck was bad.
That idiot Sinan eating the Devil Fruit had cost her a hundred million Berries, which still seriously pissed her off.
But she had also gained a free muscle enforcer.
Sinan had single-handedly slaughtered Butcher Bakal, a grand pirate with a 15,000,000 Berry bounty.
Just thinking about it made Nami feel extremely delighted.
With Sinan around, Nami felt she would never have to sneak around like a petty thief again.
She would very soon gather the 100,000,000 Berries needed to buy back Cocoyasi Village.
Arlong’s bounty was only 20,000,000 Berries.
As a ridiculously strong Fishman and a former underling of Jimbei, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, this bounty was indeed a bit low.
Arlong’s true strength was on a completely different level than a guy like Bakal.
However, with Sinan’s powers, dealing with Arlong shouldn’t be a problem.
Just with his energy absorption ability alone, Arlong wouldn’t be able to hurt him.
Yet, Nami unconsciously ignored this option entirely, showing just how massive of a traumatic shadow Arlong had cast over her heart.
After observing him for two days, noticing how he didn’t try to force himself on a beautiful girl like her and even went out of his way to heal a wounded prostitute, Nami realized Sinan was actually a pretty decent guy.
Leaving him outside the cabin to freeze in the cold sea breeze made Nami feel like she was perhaps being a little too cruel.
But none of that was the most important thing.
The most crucial part was recalling Sinan’s current face.
He had completely transformed into a perfect being.
Just thinking about him made Nami’s heart pound wildly out of control.
Remembering how the eyes of those two prostitutes had practically popped out in the shape of hearts the moment they saw Sinan, looking as if they wanted to violently throw themselves onto his dick, Nami felt incredibly annoyed.
Outside the cabin, compared to Nami’s complex thoughts, Sinan’s mind was much simpler.
He was just curiously experimenting with his new abilities.
