Perona said to Ryuya with a pout, "Captain, those commoners actually called me a ghost, and they ran faster than anyone else!"
Hearing Perona's words, many of the researchers couldn't help but chuckle.
Seeing this, Perona gave each of them a Negative Ghost.
The Negative Ghosts passed through their bodies.
Their hands instantly slumped onto the ground, looking incredibly dejected.
At this moment, Sentomaru said to Ryuya, "Admiral White Dove, most of the island's residents have been evacuated. Should we leave?"
"Yes, evacuate. Return to Marineford."
"Yes, Admiral White Dove!"
Sentomaru saluted and began giving orders.
Perona came to Ryuya's side and said, "Captain, where did you find that girl?"
"Picked her up."
Ryuya ignored Perona and jumped onto his warship.
Rolling her eyes, Perona followed Ryuya onto the warship.
However, as soon as they arrived, Perona saw Caesar.
"Captain, this guy is..."
"The culprit behind the explosion. We'll hand him over to Fleet Admiral Sengoku once we return to Marineford."
Ryuya didn't want to say anything more about someone as intensely jealous as Caesar.
The warship quickly returned to Marineford.
However, this time Ryuya sent an illusionary clone to report the events.
His physical body carried the girl and Perona back to his room.
In the room,
Stella had just finished making dinner.
Seeing Ryuya return, she quickly came before him, "Master, welcome back."
"How was your training? Did you take the herbal baths?"
"Master, we took the herbal baths every day."
"Good. Make sure to take them after training, otherwise, you'll have hidden injuries."
Perona was now in her physical body. She acted as if she were in her own home, choosing her room.
"Master, this is..."
Stella hesitated.
"A future companion."
"And this..."
Stella looked at the girl in Ryuya's arms.
Ryuya smiled slightly, softly saying, "Family."
"Don't worry, Master, I'll take good care of her."
Just as Stella finished speaking,
the girl in Ryuya's arms slowly opened her eyes.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Ryuya.
Ryuya's image was imprinted in the girl's eyes. She murmured, "Papa~"
Her voice was soft, but the room was unusually quiet.
Even the softest sound could easily be heard.
Stella's mouth twitched involuntarily. She looked at Ryuya in disbelief, "Master, is she your daughter?!"
Seeing Stella's expression, Ryuya knew she had misunderstood.
Ryuya used the same excuse he had used on Perona, "Picked her up."
Did he really pick her up?
Regardless, Stella knew this girl was the luckiest girl in the world.
The girl blinked, and a blue flame bloomed from her body.
The flames transformed into wings on her back, like a Byakko.
A terrifying aura soared into the sky!
Anyone with sufficient strength
could sense this overwhelming aura.
"That direction is Admiral White Dove!!!"
"What happened to Admiral White Dove? Why is he releasing such a terrifying aura!"
"Did something bad happen?"
...
In the highest office in Marineford,
Sengoku stood before the large window, looking in Ryuya's direction.
"What is that guy doing, releasing such an aura?!"
"Who knows? Maybe he found the key to Devil Fruit advancement."
"That's right, it looks like Devil Fruit awakening!"
Sengoku and Garp discussed this.
But they were completely unaware of Ryuya's shock.
In the room, Ryuya looked at the girl, clad in his justice cloak, fluttering before him.
Even he couldn't hide his shock.
If it weren't for the fact that they were all his own people, Ryuya might have even considered silencing them!
After all, a newborn girl, less than a day old, awakened her Devil Fruit ability immediately after waking up.
If this news got out, it would cause a huge uproar on the Grand Line.
Ryuya would become a target!
After fluttering around the room for a while, the girl, perhaps tired, threw herself into Ryuya's arms.
She kept calling him "Papa."
"Papa, Papa, I'm hungry."
The girl looked at Ryuya with her innocent eyes, then at the food on the table.
Ryuya said, "Hungry? Then eat."
The girl nodded vigorously, a smile on her face.
A pair of small blue wings sprouted from her back, and she flew to the table, beginning to eat heartily.
If the previous events were shocking,
then what followed was even more astonishing. As the girl ate,
her body began to develop rapidly.
She stopped growing only after reaching the appearance of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old.
Even the cloak couldn't hide her amazing figure.
Stella murmured in shock, "Master, does she have a name? Where did you find her?!"
Ryuya shook his head helplessly.
He hadn't expected this girl to be so overwhelming.
She awakened her Devil Fruit ability the moment she opened her eyes!
She grew up as she ate!
This was incredible!
Thinking of this, Ryuya decided to erase Vegapunk's memories of this girl.
It was enough that only he knew how this girl came to be.
Thinking this, Ryuya immediately used an illusion to find Vegapunk and implanted a false memory using the illusionary powers of the Bijo Bijo no Mi.
Whether this would damage Vegapunk's brain didn't bother Ryuya.
After all, his current scientific research abilities were superior to Vegapunk's.
Ryuya no longer valued Vegapunk's importance.
After dealing with Vegapunk's memory, Ryuya gave him a few tasks before dismissing the illusion.
In the room, Ryuya looked at the girl as if she were a treasure.
He decided to take an immediate vacation and take the girls out for training!
Of course, the so-called training was merely an excuse for a vacation…
