Chapter 639 - 884 – You Won’t Twist Around, Will You, Kalifa?

"Damn! Captain really isn't going to upload that photo of me, is he?"

Kalifa looked at the spot where Arton had disappeared, then glanced toward the place where his clothes had vanished as well. She spoke nervously to Raki beside her.

"Even if I wanted to say otherwise, unfortunately, that's exactly what happened."

Raki shrugged.

At that moment, the copy of the Sea Diary in front of her was already open.

She could clearly see that Arton had uploaded nearly thirty photos of Kalifa begging for mercy.

Looking at all thirty, Raki could not help feeling a little envious.

After all, there were only photos of Kalifa here—none of her.

Raki stared at the thirty pictures of Kalifa with her hands clasped in supplication and wondered whether, if she struck the same pose, Arton would be willing to photograph her continuously too.

The pictures themselves did not award as many points as videos, but thirty photos added together were still worth far more than a typical short video.

The more she thought about it, the more Raki regretted not striking the same pose earlier to stir Arton's desire to take pictures.

Even though she had already obtained plenty of points before, who would ever complain about earning more when those points could make someone stronger so quickly?

I hope that next time I pose like that, Captain will still be willing to photograph me.

Raki thought to herself.

"Thirty photos? I'm rich!"

Kalifa gasped and sprang up despite how weak she already was.

Clearly, those thirty photos had given her a tremendous boost.

More precisely, it was the points corresponding to those thirty photos that had stimulated her.

Raki looked at Kalifa and found her reaction completely understandable.

"Excited? Those thirty photos are enough to make you much stronger."

"Aren't you excited too? Arton took those pictures of you begging for mercy."

Raki asked with a smile.

"Of course I'm not excited just because someone saw my begging-for-mercy photos."

Kalifa lifted the corners of her lips.

Though if getting photographed while begging earns me points, then having Arton take pictures of me kneeling and licking might not be impossible either.

"Speaking of which, do these pictures count as the most explicit photos Arton has ever uploaded to the diary?"

Raki sat cross-legged beside Kalifa as she spoke.

"Now that you mention it… maybe they really do."

Raki raised a hand to her chin and nodded thoughtfully.

Although they had done some extremely stimulating things with Arton before, Arton had always been too immersed in the moment to take pictures.

Whenever Arton photographed or recorded them, it was usually under relatively ordinary circumstances.

This time, Kalifa's hands-clasped begging pose might normally have counted as a fairly ordinary photo too.

The problem was that Kalifa was not wearing even a scrap of fabric.

Through the photos, Raki could clearly see the beautiful scenery in front of Kalifa.

Without exaggeration, these were indeed the boldest photos Arton had ever taken.

"Won't you feel embarrassed that other people can see you through the Sea Diary?"

Raki asked.

"Hehe. So what if they see? They're just pictures of me begging for mercy, aren't they?"

Kalifa waved dismissively.

To her, these were all trivial matters, hardly worth caring about.

She believed that when other people saw the thirty photos, they would not think she had embarrassed herself.

On the contrary, they would probably envy her for being photographed by Arton.

After all, those thirty photos were practically a fortune.

For someone whose strength was hovering around the threshold of nine-eight-seven, those thirty photos could very well push them up another level.

At the very least, Kalifa felt that relying on those thirty pictures might let her own strength advance another step.

She was already highly proficient in the Marines' Six Powers and often felt as though she were standing right on the threshold.

With just a little more effort, she might be able to cross that crucial line and become an expert like Rob Lucci, one who had integrated all Six Powers into a higher level.

Of course, Kalifa had no intention of spending those points on training the Six Powers.

Compared with using them to refine the Six Powers, she would rather use the points to improve her physical abilities.

After all, Raki and Conis had both said that using the power of the Sea Diary System consumed stamina.

For that reason, Kalifa planned to build up a solid foundation first, so that when Arton eventually handed her the Sea Diary ability for her to use, she could learn it quickly.

In fact, Kalifa felt that spending points on improving the Six Powers was not even as worthwhile as using them to develop her Devil Fruit powers.

The Bubble-Bubble Fruit certainly could not compare in raw power with the Sea Diary ability Arton might eventually give her, but it had plenty of entertaining possibilities and enormous potential for creating ways to make both herself and Arton happier.

Under those circumstances, Kalifa naturally wanted to develop the Bubble-Bubble Fruit properly.

If she could awaken its power, all the better.

Kalifa could almost imagine it—after awakening her Devil Fruit, Arton becoming even more delighted, and then using the Sea Diary more frequently to record her everyday life.

The thought alone made her even more excited.

"Um, although I don't know what you're thinking about right now, I should still say what I'm thinking."

"I'm not asking what everyone will think after seeing you beg for mercy. I'm asking whether you're worried about them seeing your body."

Raki asked.

"Oh, so that's what you mean."

Kalifa smiled.

"Don't worry. I'm not worried about that at all."

"Why?"

Raki asked curiously.

Could it be that Kalifa really was that uninhibited?

"Because everyone here is a woman."

"And besides…"

Kalifa puffed out her chest.

"My figure is pretty good, isn't it? Even if everyone sees it, I wouldn't feel embarrassed. Hehe."

"I see."

Raki gave Kalifa a thumbs-up from the bottom of her heart.

"As expected of Ms. Kalifa. You really do have quite the personality."

She had to admit that Kalifa really did have an excellent figure.

With a body like that, there really was no need to be afraid of showing it to other women.
