Inside a bright room with a pink main theme.
Kaya, by the bed, clenched her pink fists, appearing slightly uneasy.
Although it was for treatment, this was her first time bringing a man into her boudoir.
It felt a little strange.
"Relax, it's all for treatment."
Noticing Kaya's nervousness, Reno gently reassured her.
He wasn't lying.
Given Kaya's current physical condition, she couldn't endure several hours of his 'guidance' at all.
The priority was to cure Kaya's illness first.
Only then could they proceed with the normal process.
"Mm." Kaya nodded obediently.
Due to shyness, a rare blush appeared on her sickly pale, pretty face.
"Mr. Reno, I've seen many doctors, and they all couldn't do anything for my illness. Do you really have a way?!"
Having calmed down, Kaya looked at Reno, both nervous and full of anticipation.
Reno gave Kaya a reassuring look, and a green Devil Fruit suddenly appeared in his right hand, which was clasped behind his back.
The Healing-Healing Fruit.
Reno, like a magician, pulled the Healing-Healing Fruit from behind him and presented it to Kaya.
"Mr. Reno, what is this?!" Kaya blinked, asking confusedly.
Reno cleared his throat and said seriously: "Kaya, actually, there's a Healing Power within my body. By expending a certain amount of lifespan, I can materialize this Healing Power in the form of a Devil Fruit. As long as you eat this Fruit, you can not only recover completely but also gain this Healing Power."
"I spent five years of my lifespan to condense this Fruit; you should eat it."
"Ah?! Mr. Reno, how can I?!"
The kind-hearted Kaya believed him, waving her hands in refusal.
Although she wanted to cure her chronic illness, it couldn't be at the expense of harming others.
If Nami were here, she would definitely scoff.
What a naive little girl, so easy to trick.
Reno hooked Kaya's nose with his finger and smiled: "Silly girl, the Fruit has already been materialized. If you don't eat it, wouldn't it be a waste?!"
Kaya froze.
It seemed to make some sense.
Seeing Kaya still hesitating, Reno continued to press: "Kaya, haven't you always wanted to cure illnesses and save people?! Once you're better, you'll be able to use the Healing Power within you to help others."
"Really?!" Kaya exclaimed in surprise.
Her biggest dream was to become a doctor, saving the injured and helping the dying.
This truly struck a chord with her.
"Of course, it's true." Reno nodded in affirmation.
"Then I'll eat it." Kaya's voice was firm.
But after saying it, she looked at Reno with some heartache: "Reno, I'm sorry to trouble you."
After all, that was five years of lifespan.
Reno immediately put on a stern face: "Call me Brother."
Kaya was startled, then lowered her head, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz: "Reno."
"That's right." Reno's expression cleared, and he placed the Healing-Healing Fruit in Kaya's hand, softly saying: "Hurry and eat it."
Out of absolute trust in Reno, Kaya didn't hesitate, opening her mouth and taking a bite.
"So sweet..." Kaya's eyes lit up.
This was the sweetest fruit she had ever eaten.
Reno smiled; after all, the system had removed all the side effects.
As Kaya swallowed the first bite of the fruit, a peculiar power suddenly surged within Reno's body.
Reno knew that the ability sharing was working.
Just like Kaya, he now possessed the Devil Fruit Ability of the Healing-Healing Fruit.
Not only that, but Kaya's complexion visibly brightened.
Her former sickly paleness was rapidly disappearing.
Reno could clearly sense that Kaya's physique had significantly strengthened.
Of course, this strengthening was a transformation from a weak patient to a normal person.
"It's really better?!" Kaya also noticed the changes in her body, her expression somewhat dazed.
The chronic illness that had plagued her for years was cured just like that?!
But thinking that this was exchanged for five years of Reno's lifespan, her expression became downcast again.
Such a great kindness, she truly couldn't repay it.
Could Reno really be sent by heaven to save her?!
He not only exposed Kuro, that bad guy, but also cured her illness.
Kaya stared blankly at Reno, her eyes misty with tears.
"Thank you, Reno." Kaya actively took Reno's hand and gently placed it on her face.
Reno's face showed a very pure smile.
"This is a happy occasion, why are you crying?!" Reno gently wiped away the tears from Kaya's eyes.
"Your chronic illness is completely cured. Now let's try out the other abilities."
Kaya nodded.
She understood what Reno meant.
The moment she ate the Healing-Healing Fruit, she felt a power appear out of thin air within her body.
A Healing Power.
What a magical fruit it was.
Reno really hadn't lied to her.
At Reno's request, the two left the room and headed to the kitchen.
During this time, they met Nami and Makino, who had just finished eating.
When they saw Kaya again, their mouths dropped open in surprise.
They still vividly remembered Kaya's sickly pale complexion from before.
How could she look like a normal person after such a short time?!
After learning that Reno had truly cured Kaya's illness.
Nami looked at Reno with a strange expression.
Makino, on the other hand, thought of something and lowered her head in shame.
It turned out that Reno had really gone to Kaya's room to help her with her illness.
She was so ashamed that she had been thinking such things earlier.
Out of curiosity, the two followed them to the kitchen, wanting to witness the Healing Power Kaya spoke of with their own eyes.
Reno found a chicken and directly made a cut on its body, causing blood to flow immediately.
The chicken cried out in pain.
Kaya suppressed her psychological discomfort, extended her right hand, and aimed it at the chicken's wound, and a white light immediately appeared.
A magical scene unfolded.
Under the astonished and bewildered gazes of the three girls, the cut wound visibly disappeared, quickly returning to its original state.
Even the chicken was stunned.
If not for the blood remaining on the ground, they would never have believed that the scene just now was real.
After a brief moment of shock, Kaya said happily, "Reno, I succeeded! This ability is too amazing!"
"From now on, I can cure any patient, right?!"
Kaya's small face was filled with joy.
Reno also nodded with satisfaction, then chuckled and said, "Don't always worry about others; you need to take good care of your own body too."
