Chapter 235: Plea
[Day 1]
"Nnnngh~! I feel so refreshed...!" exclaimed Yamato, following a nasally, arms-raised stretch.
"Mmn...happy I could help..." hummed Vahn, lying beside the inordinately large woman in his nearly three-meter-tall, notably muscular form. To his right, a naked Robin caressed his chest with a mature smile adorning her face before she took the initiative to kiss him when he met her gaze.
"Help...? Robin and I are lucky you didn't split us in two..." grumbled Nami, sporting a half-lidded but notably flushed expression as she lay to Robin's right, staring at the ceiling with her right hand atop her abdomen. She had spent the past month devoted to her training and research, so while she had secretly been looking forward to reuniting with Vahn, she was shaken by her ability to accommodate him even in his current form.
"Really? I honestly didn't notice much of a difference..." hummed Robin, resting her head against Vahn's shoulder, her narrowed eyes focusing on his battle-ready member. It was certainly ample, but as far as she could tell, it hadn't grown to match his muscular form. If anything, his physique had grown to match it.
"Truthfully, I'm impressed," chimed Yamato, sporting her usual broad and friendly smile as she eyed Robin and Nami, appending, "Though, from the few portraits I've seen, Lady Touki was also significantly smaller than her husband, Lord Odzen. Perhaps the women in our world are more adaptive than others?"
"That does appear to be the case," confirmed Robin, revealing, "This isn't too well-known, but the parameters we see reflected in our Statuses use humans as a baseline for comparison. And I don't mean humans from our world, but across all realities. That suggests that, on average, the humans from our world are ten times more adaptive—to borrow your expression..."
"I mean...it makes sense..." muttered Nami, absentmindedly tracing her right middle finger around her navel as she contended, "From what I've been able to gather, our planet, Bluestar, is considerably larger than the majority of habitable worlds despite possessing the gravitational pull of a much smaller planetoid. Then there's the Grand Line, Calm Belt, Red Line, and extreme changes in our weather due to deep-oceanic currents and significant disparities in the density of our atmosphere...if we weren't able to adapt, we'd have become extinct long ago..."
"I knew our world was amazing, but it sounds increasingly fascinating the more I learn about it...!" exclaimed Yamato, her orange eyes glistening like stars as she clenched and shook her fists excitedly.
"Then, once you've concluded your tenure as Wano's Guardian Deity, you should explore it," suggested Vahn, adding, "You could also join the Straw Hats when they reach Wano in a few years. Then you can tread the same path as Oden and witness the dawn of a new era and the advent of a new Pirate King."
"That sounds wonderful...!" bellowed Yamato, briefly raising her hands above her head before abruptly freezing, lowering them, and adopting a wry smile as she awkwardly scratched her right cheek and revealed, "But I was actually planning to join up with the Whitebeard Pirates once Wano had stabilized. I made a promise with their Second-Division Commander, Fire Fist Ace..."
