After the suicide bomb attack by the “terrorist” Candy Man, Lilith’s ship form needed reconstruction, and Eust was badly injured. Fortunately, there were no irreparable damages. They landed on a deserted island that day to recuperate.
With Eust’s fishing skills, they could easily ensure a plentiful supply of food even by fishing at the shore, making survival easy.
The main tasks were Eust’s recovery and providing Lilith with the energy needed for ship reconstruction, both of which required time.
Upon landing on the island, Eust took charge of food supplies for everyone. Despite his severe injuries, Eust was restless and couldn’t stay still, so he ended up taking on this role.
Lila, unscathed from the explosion, resumed studying navigational skills while Sunny’s mission space proved invaluable to them.
Sunny, still in the recovery phase from her battle mode transformation, could talk and move lightly but needed time to fully recover.
During Lilith’s recovery, she consumed most of the seafood, except for Eust’s preferred catches.
The next day, Lila worked on tasks related to Sunny’s mission fruit ability, while the others continued to rest and adjust.
Lila’s current task was similar to previous ones, focusing on navigational knowledge with rewards enhancing her strength. She felt she had been a burden during the Candy Man incident and was determined to quickly improve her strength.
Eust didn’t say much, but Lila decided to increase her strength using Sunny’s mission fruit, allowing her to learn navigation and complete tasks for rewards simultaneously.
Previously, Lila split her task rewards between navigation and strength, but after this incident, she shifted entirely towards strength enhancement.
Lila had a solid foundation in navigation, surpassing even the quick-learning Eust. Her talent was extraordinary.
Lila constantly studied and analyzed navigational knowledge, ensuring smooth sailing in the East Blue.
Eust discussed with Lila his true adventure plans for the Grand Line. However, exploring the East Blue was essential for gathering companions, accumulating strength, and gaining experience, all of which required time.
For Lila, enhancing her strength was now more critical than navigation skills.
Of course, Lila didn’t neglect her navigation studies, aiming to master it further to aid Eust and herself.
On the third day, Eust and his crew continued resting and adjusting. Eust, the fishing king, had already caught enough seafood for Lilith to reconstruct her small fishing boat form.
The new form was much larger than the original, providing more energy and safety for Lilith.
By this day, Sunny’s injuries had healed, and the side effects of her transformation had mostly disappeared, rejuvenating their team’s strength and reducing the threat from pirates.
On the fourth day, Eust and his crew felt more relaxed.
Eust’s injuries continued to heal, allowing him to return to fishing.
With a bountiful catch, Lilith was delighted. She was a true foodie, happy with ample food.
Lila completed a new life task and proudly informed Eust, “Eust, I’ve grown another centimeter! Whether it’s due to my strength increase or eating the Lilith fruit before, I like this result.”
“As long as Lila is happy, people won’t think I’m kidnapping children anymore.”
“Eust, I’m not small! I’ll definitely be taller than you one day.”
Eust noticed Lila’s look and received a bump on his head, swelling from her strike.
On the fifth day, Eust and his crew continued resting, feeling even more at ease.
Eust’s injuries continued to heal, and he caught enough food for Lilith to construct her small sailboat form.
Lilith successfully completed the sailboat construction by evening, moving closer to full recovery.
Sunny focused on unique training for the Strategist Cat tribe, saying, “Meow, Eust, my tiger claw attack in battle mode was strong, but it couldn’t hurt that weird Candy Man. It was so frustrating.”
“Sunny, don’t be angry. I felt more awkward when my Iaijutsu debut didn’t go well against that Candy-Candy fruit user’s armor. It was so embarrassing.”
“Meow, true.”
“Sunny, don’t rub it in. Iaijutsu should be powerful, but I’ve only just begun to master it and can’t unleash its full potential.”
“Sunny, let me explain the power of Iaijutsu. Shano taught me an improved version with incredible speed and power. Even with my initial grasp, it should be two to three times more powerful than a regular slash. Hey, where are you going?”
“Meow, Eust, stop bragging. Your Iaijutsu didn’t hurt Candy Man any more than my tiger claw attack. Bragging doesn’t make cows fly.”
“Sunny, I can’t believe you’ve become so sharp-tongued. My sweet Sunny has turned sassy?”
“Meow, I learned all these weird terms from you, Eust. Saying I’ve gone bad is unfair.”
“So, it’s my fault, but I don’t want to take the blame!”
