Chapter 175: What should we get?
"Hee-haw!"
"So sexy! Let me touch those butts!"
"Guwahaha! Let's drink more!"
Yes, for the prisoners, this place was a paradise since not only could they eat, drink, and gain their freedom as much as they wished to be within this inescapable prison, but for Masa, this place was much more horrifying than Thriller Bark, especially when he saw many men in lewd women's outfits, showing their hairy legs, and bulges without care as they dressed as transvestites.
If Luffy and Mr. 2 Bentham appeared in this place, it would probably appear more tame and peaceful, as no one would show a close, intimate exchange of the same gender on a teen show, and more importantly, as a comedic scene, it was impossible for such a scene to appear.
Yet, this was a reality, and Masa could see how horrible this place was, especially when all of them were gay.
"...let's go back."
"Okay." 3x
They could tell that Masa couldn't stand this place, so they didn't force him, but they also understood why. More importantly, they didn't want him to have trauma, so they obediently followed his wish as they asked him in concern.
"You know what? That guy's head on the stage is so huge!"
As Masa stayed on the quiet corridor within this secret floor of the Impel Down, Perona couldn't help but think about the transvestite with a huge head.
"That's Emporio Ivankov." Masa somehow calmed down, and he started to wonder whether he should get the two Devil Fruits that could be discovered on this secret floor.
"Who?"
"The Queen of the Kamabakka Kingdom, the Okama King, and the Miracle Person."
"...queen? That guy is a woman???"
"He is an okama, okay?"
In other words, a transvestite.
Still, considering the status of such gender in the current society, even if Masa couldn't accept it, he knew that he couldn't say much about it.
Frankly, it was kind of fine before, but somehow, along the way, as everything became mainstream, this kind of thing made it hard for him to accept.
Regardless, Masa quickly threw away this meaningless topic in this story and thought about the two Devil Fruits that existed on this Floor, which were owned respectively by Inazuma and Emporio Ivankov.
Ivankov aside, Masa thought of Inazuma, a female with half-orange and half-white clothing and hair color, whose Devil Fruit was Choki Choki no Mi.
The ability of this Devil Fruit was simple as it just allowed the user to turn parts of their bodies into that of scissors. While it might seem simple and might not appear that special as there were many Paramecia-type Devil Fruits that modified the body of the user, such as Supe Supe no Mi and Buki Buki no Mi, unlike the two, this Devil Fruit could turn those which it cut into a paper property.
So, if a piece of concrete was somehow cut by the scissors of this Devil Fruit, the user could move or fold the cut concrete like paper.
Was it powerful?
Frankly, Masa didn't think that it was powerful; at best, it was mid. More importantly, it was better for him to get the Buki Buki no Mi, which allowed him to create all types of weapons, than only the Choki Choki no Mi, which allowed him to create scissors.
While the Choki Choki no Mi might have an extra effect, Masa could imagine that he could recreate a similar ability if he got the Buki Buki no Mi.
Unfortunately, Masa didn't have much of an interest in the Buki Buki no Mi; the owner was different, though.
So, Masa decided to pass on the Choki Choki no Mi, and Inazuma was lucky.
Meanwhile, Horu Horu no Mi, which was eaten by Ivankov, attracted Masa's attention, as he knew well what kind of a miracle one could do when one could control a hormone.
Beauty, health, aging, healing, recovery, and physical ability could all be improved with a hormone, and for someone who ate the Horu Horu no Mi, naturally, they could control all of the hormones inside their bodies to enhance every function and quality of one's body with hormones.
More importantly, with this Devil Fruit, one can develop many unique abilities, such as changing one's gender and making people fall in love.
The changing gender aside, by using a hormone, one could make others fall in love with ease, turning them into an obedient slave that would listen to one's words, as a feeling of love was also created through a hormone.
There was even a possibility of living a long age by manipulating a hormone.
However, because of that, Masa decided to refrain from taking this Devil Fruit.
Changing a gender might be an interesting ability, but it wasn't something that could be used to defeat others, and it was just a harassment type of ability.
As for living for a long time, Masa was also a devil who was practically immortal, so he didn't care much about the long age that could be gained from manipulating a hormone.
Lastly, and most importantly, by using the special martial art of this world, Soul Return, Masa felt like he could control a hormone, too, since as he developed this martial art further, he should be able to control his own cells, so a hormone should be possible, right?
So, in the end, it was meaningless for him to stay on the 5.5 Floor, and he didn't plan to get the Horu Horu no Mi and Choki Choki no Mi, so—
"Let's go back."
"Okay."
"Can you make a door to go back to our room, Carina?"
"Sure."
As long as it was within the place that Carina had been, it was possible for her to create a door that connected to the place she wished to be, and naturally, she could create a door that led them to their room in the castle on the Drum Kingdom, which showed how perfect fit the Doa Doa no Mi was for her.
So, when the door was created, Masa left Impel Down as he completed his goal successfully.
Naturally, the residents of the 5.5 Floors knew nothing about the hidden danger and continued their party.
"Hee-haw!"
Only when Masa disappeared, whether it was the residents of the 5.5 Floors, all the guards, whether it was the warden, vice warden, or everyone else, were dumbfounded and shivered in horror when all the criminals on Level 6 had completely vanished without a single trace as if they were swallowed by something dark, mysterious, and fearsome.
"...what is happening?
Yet, no one could answer, and everything was hidden by a dark veil that was impossible to open unless the perpetrator of this situation revealed everything.
Meanwhile, as soon as Masa arrived in the room, Carina, Perona, and Kalifa walked out of Masa's body, and the four of them let out a long sigh as they rested on the sofa and bed.
"I won't go there anymore."
"Once is enough."
"It was kind of fun, though."
There was no need to go to Impel Down anymore, but they couldn't help but talk about their experience, including the 5.5 Floor, which they had seen previously.
"By the way, Masa, don't forget to use your fallen angel form tonight, okay?"
As Perona climbed on top of Masa's chest with a lewd blush, pressing her soft body, rubbing it against his with an expression that grew lewder and lewder, Masa took a deep breath and said, "How about all of us take a bath first?"
"Okay~!" 3x
Washing all parts of their bodies, the four of them had fun, but Masa, naturally, didn't forget to go to the white space to discuss the eighth Devil Fruit he should get.
Still, the answer was obvious.
"Wapu Wapu no Mi. Get this one."
"..." Masa.

In the past, it was kind of funny to watch Ivankov, but somehow, with many movements that happened in the world after COVID, it was hard for me to write this one, so... I am sorry.
I am straight.
