Chapter 87: The Amnesiac Streusen
Under the curious gazes of the crew, Charlotte Linlin conjured golden, glowing orbs from her palm and infused them into a pair of jet-propelled shoes.
Suddenly, the shoes sprouted eyes, ears, a mouth, and a nose, becoming animated. They let out joyful cries and began flying around on their own in perfect synchrony.
"From now on, you will follow Shakky!"
Linlin chanted a soul-binding spell, commanding the shoes to recognize Shakky as their new master. Though they would obey Shakky, Linlin, as the wielder of the Soul-Soul Fruit, retained ultimate authority. Shakky, however, was granted secondary control.
The shoes immediately flew to Shakky's feet, slipping onto them and lifting her into the air. She tested them out, soaring up and down, speeding forward and slowing down at will.
Antonio, Silva, and Crocus watched in amazement. It seemed they needed to bond with this new crewmate—her abilities could be extremely useful!
"Have you ever seen a poison-dispensing clam? A seawater-spraying shellfish? How about an automatic sniper rifle?" Antonio grinned. "I bet she can bring all sorts of crazy ideas to life!"
Without hesitation, Antonio eagerly led Charlotte Linlin to her room, openly admiring Shakky's new shoes. Linlin, seeing his excitement, wasted no time in imbuing his jet shoes with a soul as well.
Linlin was delighted with the massive pink-themed room Antonio had prepared for her. Meanwhile, Silva and Crocus exchanged glances, both considering how they might ask for a favor of their own.
...
"Oh no, I almost forgot! Brook, hurry up and bring Streusen and that seahorse aboard! We can't leave them behind!"
