Chapter 210: Peculiar
Following a lengthy discussion, Vahn concluded the easiest and fastest way to prove his assertions while simultaneously giving Yamato a taste of freedom was by letting her see and experience another world, specifically the beach of his resort in DB-0769(Dragon Ball).
"Incredible! Such a vast and calm sea! And the air is so fresh! I've never experienced anything like it...!" exclaimed Yamato, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath with her hands on her hips, causing her already large chest to appear even more voluminous.
"It's also markedly safer than the seas and oceans in your world," stated Vahn, revealing, "The largest sea creature present is a blue whale with a length of twenty to thirty-five meters. There are Saurians and even a few species of Dragons here on the surface, but they're generally not a threat to trained warriors or Samurai."
"Really? Then it's a shame I've consumed a Devil Fruit. I would have liked to take a dip and explore it," stated Yamato, maintaining a broad smile but exhaling from her nose with her hands on her hips.
"Here, take this," said Vahn, opening a Trade Interface, causing another to appear before Yamato.
"Hmm? What's this...?" asked Yamato, her dark orange eyes gleaming with intrigue. Vahn had explained most of the Tower System's functions to her, but she had yet to use them.
"The window is called a Trade Interface, used to facilitate exchanges or sales between Ascendees without having to physically produce the items or currency being exchanged," explained Vahn, appending, "And the item I'm gifting you is a special drysuit that allows Devil Fruit users to enter the sea without having their power inhibited."
"Aha! To think such a thing would be possible...!" exclaimed Yamato, her eyes glistening with even greater intensity as she eagerly accepted the trade and, rather abruptly, started stripping down.
"Don't forget about the Equipment function," stated Vahn, calmly noting, "Since it's considered an undergarment, you can drag the drysuit into the slot currently occupied by your fundoshi. There's no need to strip naked, though I wouldn't mind seeing you do so."
"Hmmm? Vahn-dono wishes to see me naked...?" asked Yamato, staring back at Vahn with a puzzled expression. She initially found the admission odd, but when she recalled that Vahn viewed her as a woman, she faced forward, crossed her arms under her breasts, and raised her gaze to the sky with a serious, deliberative expression.
"No need to overthink things or force yourself on my account," said Vahn, stepping forward and patting Yamato's left shoulder before stepping past her, his yukata dispersing, replaced by a pair of two-layer swim trunks as he stated, "If you're more comfortable being a man, that can be arranged. The most important thing is that you're comfortable being yourself. Oden already lived and died how he pleased. The best way to honor and be like him is by doing the same."
