"Captain Buggy, Devil Fruits can actually… make someone beautiful?"
The Swan sliced across the morning sea, but Sword-Shadow Flow was still stuck on what he'd just witnessed.
His chat—over fifteen million viewers now—had collectively dropped their jaws.
On the shared four-stream channel, all four other anchors had joined his feed.
Pinned comment:
[✨Grand Makeover Moment: Alvida's Metamorphosis!✨]
Even Kaka, Little Fisherman, White-Robe, and Net-Addicted Girl had paused their own adventures to gawk.
Kaka: [Wait—people weren't lying? Alvida really turned pretty after eating a Devil Fruit? Plastic-surgery-level transformation??]
Net-Addicted Girl: [I thought Fruits gave weird powers, not cosmetic surgery!]
White-Robe: [Never heard of such a thing in the lore!]
Little Fisherman: [Fake, 100%. I've seen Alvida—she's built like a tank. No way.]
Chat flooded in waves of disbelief and memes.
[Just wait, you'll eat your words soon!]
[Swear I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it happen live.]
[She was nightmare fuel before… now she's wife material.]
[Game devs, drop the patch notes, we need this Fruit IRL.]
Viewer count rocketed past 18 million.
Sea Breeze Company Headquarters
At headquarters, Li Jing pushed open the office door, still holding her coffee. "Are people serious? A Devil Fruit that beautifies?"
Her tone was skeptical, but curiosity gleamed in her eyes.
Even a beauty wanted to know how to become more beautiful.
Gu Feng chuckled, eyes on the giant screen. "See for yourself."
Inside the game, the ship's cabin door creaked open.
The chat went silent.
Buggy's crew held their breath.
Even Sword-Shadow Flow's voice faltered.
Across the ocean of comments, twenty million viewers stared at the same door.
Sunlight spilled through—
and a pair of impossibly long, smooth legs stepped out.
Alvida's towering frame remained, but her bulk was gone.
Her skin was pearl-white and gleaming, her hips wrapped in pink cropped pants.
A white bikini top hugged a body that no longer knew the word "fatigue."
For a second, the entire ship forgot to breathe.
Then the chat detonated.
[WTF]
[ABSOLUTE GODDESS]
[No way this was the same woman!]
[Her legs go on forever, step on me queen!!]
[From ogre to angel—Slip-Slip Fruit, I kneel.]
Even the four other streamers were struck dumb.
Kaka: [That's… that's not the same person. Right??]
White-Robe: [I think I just fell in love with an NPC.]
Little Fisherman: [I take back everything I said. Please forgive me, goddess Alvida!]
Buggy's jaw hung open, his crew speechless.
Sword-Shadow Flow could barely believe his luck—his viewer count had soared past 20 million. The man who once streamed to less than 100 k now stood at the top of the platform.
He took a deep breath and quipped with a grin:
"Brothers… youth doesn't know the fragrance of a rich woman."
He gestured toward Alvida.
"Five-million-bounty pirate queen, powerful and—well—loaded. My goddess!"
He didn't get far before chat drowned him.
[Oh shut up, you never called her your goddess before!]
[Typical man—now that she's hot you're simping. Too late, bro!]
[Back off! She's my goddess!]
[Join the queue, fool.]
Sword-Shadow laughed, letting the flood of chaos roll past.
Just then, a system prompt flickered before his eyes:
[Congratulations, player Sword-Shadow Flow!]
You discovered the Slip-Slip Fruit and allowed Alvida to consume it, strengthening the Buggy Pirates.
Reward: 10 000 Points.
He leaned back, grinning.
Luck, beauty, fame, and ten thousand points.
Not bad for a day's work.
