Chapter 52 Subduing the Honey Queen

On Nami’s side, Honey Queen’s paste-like body constantly shifted forms, sometimes turning into a giant wave to strike, and other times into sharp spikes for a surprise attack.

But no matter how she attacked, she couldn’t break through Nami’s perfect spherical Barrier.

“It’s useless; my Barrier can even block cannonballs.”

A victorious smile curled Nami’s lips as she suddenly clapped her hands together.

“Now it’s my turn!”

The Barrier sphere suddenly expanded and wrapped around in reverse, engulfing Honey Queen’s entire body.

Honey Queen realized something was wrong, but it was too late to pull away.

Nami seized the opportunity to quickly shrink the Barrier, completely confining the other woman within a transparent sphere.

“Let me go!”

Honey Queen crashed frantically inside the Barrier, but her paste body couldn’t break the Barrier ball at all.

Nami smugly snapped her fingers.

“Behaving yourself now?”

Nami discovered a shortcoming in her Barrier: Sea Urchin.

That was, when dealing with an intangible enemy like this, it was impossible to kill them.

Just like now, she had already filled the inside of the Barrier ball with spikes, but she still couldn’t kill Honey Queen.

“Hmph~”

Nami gave a cold, dissatisfied huff and held the Barrier ball in her hand.

“I was wrong~

Let me out~

Let’s have a good talk, okay?~

We don’t have any deep-seated grudges~

It was all a misunderstanding~”

Inside the Barrier ball, the pink paste condensed into a seductive face, feigning a plea for mercy.

Nami was completely unmoved; instead, she held the Barrier ball up to her eyes, squinting as she examined the liquid constantly changing shape inside.

“A misunderstanding? I didn’t see you saying that when you ordered them to fire just now.”

Nami sneered.

“Now you know how to beg for mercy?”

Just then, Nojiko finished off all the small fry, including Boo Jack, and landed beside Nami.

She looked at the Honey Queen trapped in the Barrier ball, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

“You finished it that quickly?”

“This Devil Fruit User is a bit troublesome.”

Nami shook the Barrier ball in her hand.

“My attacks are ineffective against her.”

“Let me try.”

Nojiko drew the Yubashiri from her waist, the blade’s edge cold and sharp.

“It’s useless.”

Honey Queen inside the Barrier ball suddenly revealed a charming smile.

“Ordinary physical attacks are useless against me~

Why don’t you just let me go?~”

“What an annoying woman. Let’s take her back to Kaguya and see if he has a way.”

Looking at Honey Queen in the Barrier ball, Nami felt a wave of irritation.

“Alright, let’s head back.”

Nojiko transformed into her Pteranodon form, Nami leapt onto Nojiko’s back, and the two girls flew toward the dragon soaring ten thousand miles.

Bored while waiting on the deck, Kaguya could only continue his race-against-time training.

When the two girls landed back on the deck, he had just finished five hundred weighted squats.

“That was fast.”

Kaguya set the barbell down and walked toward the two girls while wiping his body.

“She was easily defeated, but this woman is a bit of a problem. I can’t kill her. Do you have a way?”

Nami handed the Barrier ball to Kaguya.

Looking at the clump of slimy liquid inside the Barrier ball, Kaguya said with a smile, “Killing her would be such a waste. She’s a Devil Fruit User after all; let’s keep her.”

“What! You want to keep this woman!”

Hearing this, Nami immediately protested.

On the side, Nojiko glanced at Kaguya, then at Honey Queen in the Barrier ball.

She instantly knew her man had set his sights on another woman again.

However, her reaction wasn’t as intense as Nami’s.

Nojiko knew her place very well and knew that everything she had was given to her by Kaguya.

So, she never opposed Kaguya’s actions.

In truth, Nami wouldn’t oppose Kaguya’s decisions either, but her personality was such that she loved getting jealous.

Just like when Kaguya was hitting on Tashigi, she didn’t actually sabotage anything from start to finish, but she just enjoyed acting a bit jealous.

“The Paste-Paste Fruit is actually quite good. Although it’s a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, it has Logia-like characteristics.

If developed well, it’s a decent combat asset.”

“Ara~

Handsome young man~”

Inside the Barrier ball, Honey Queen suddenly twisted her paste body, her voice so sweet it could drip honey.

“So you’re the one in charge here~”

Kaguya looked at this special ‘captive’ with interest, his fingertip lightly tapping the surface of the Barrier.

“The Paste-Paste Fruit’s ability is indeed interesting, but your development direction is too limited.”

Nami stood with her arms crossed without saying a word, glaring at Kaguya crossly.

“Follow me from now on, and I’ll help you increase your strength. Isn’t that much better than following that bear?”

“You know our Captain?”

Hearing this, Honey Queen’s seductive face showed a look of shock.

“Of course I do. By the way, are you and Great Bear King a couple?”

“A couple?

Ara ara, not at all~”

Honey Queen winked charmingly and restored her body to human form.

“You shameless woman, turn back into paste, or I’ll kill you!”

Nami threatened angrily.

Because the human-form Honey Queen was stark naked, her perfect figure exposed brightly before the three of them.

Nami, who hadn’t fully developed yet, instantly lost her composure.

“Ara~

It’s not like I’m showing it to you~”

“Not a couple? One of you is a Queen and the other is a King; it sounds a lot like a couple.”

“I’m just his subordinate~

I’d never be interested in that ugly freak~

Although that bear has some thoughts like that about me, I’m a paste person~

He has no way to handle me at all~

Handsome young man, do you have thoughts about Big Sister?”

Honey Queen asked in a flirtatious voice while swaying her body.

Beside her, Nami watched her with gritted teeth.

Her fists clenched until they creaked.

“With a beauty like you, of course I’d have thoughts. So, how about following me from now on?”

“Following you?~

It’s not out of the question~

After all, you really are quite good-looking~

But, is there any benefit to me following you?”

Honey Queen licked her lips with bedroom eyes, pressing her body against the Barrier to squeeze out an exaggerated curve.

“Benefit? The benefit is sparing your life.”

“Sparing my life~

But, you can only trap me right now; you have no way to kill me~”

Honey Queen twisted her body and said disdainfully.

“Oh? Are you sure?”

Kaguya raised an eyebrow.

A sudden chill surfaced in Honey Queen’s heart.

The next second, she heard Kaguya say, “Nami, throw the ball into the sea.”

Nami’s eyes lit up at the words, and she made a move as if to hurl the Barrier ball into the ocean.

“Wait! Don’t!”

Honey Queen finally panicked.

“I surrender! I’ll listen to whatever you say!”

Even though she usually soaked in a pool, that was all fresh water.

She knew very well how much seawater countered her.

If she were really thrown into the sea, she would truly die.

“Heh, so you know fear now.”

“Aiyaya~

I was just joking with you just now~

What a man who doesn’t understand romance~”

Honey Queen returned to her charming posture.

“Nami, let her out.”

Nami pouted and withdrew the Barrier imprisoning Honey Queen.

The moment Honey Queen came out, she threw herself into Kaguya’s arms.

“Now I am yours; what do you want to do to me?~”

Honey Queen took Kaguya’s hand and placed it on her ‘conscience’.

Kaguya gave it a squeeze; the feel was quite good.

Veins popped on Nami’s forehead, and Nojiko also felt a bit uncomfortable.

“Alright, I don’t have time to deal with you now. Nami, find her some clothes.

You put some clothes on too; we’re going up to Clockwork Island.”

Knowing earlier that Nami and the others wouldn’t leave any survivors, Kaguya hadn’t stopped Nami from going to battle in a three-point bikini.

But that wouldn’t do now.

There were so many people on Clockwork Island; he didn’t want his woman to be stared at.

“Fine~

Stinky woman, come with me!”

Nami grabbed Honey Queen’s arm, pulled her out of Kaguya’s arms, and then headed toward the cabin.
