Chapter 1187! Sympathy...and Invitation
Chapter 1187! Sympathy...and Invitation
……
Shortly after, Perona came out of the bathroom after taking a shower.
However, when she came out, Perona's expression was clearly somewhat unnatural.
Besides feeling a little jealous, inferior, and envious, there was also a hint of shyness.
because……
"Isn't there a single piece of clothing here that fits me?"
Perona looked at the oversized top she was wearing, which was big enough to be worn as a dress, and felt depressed.
When the bear slammed her down, all she had on her body, besides her cute tutu, was a small lace parasol. However, the parasol had sunk to the bottom of the sea, and her original tutu had been damaged to varying degrees during the battle, so she had to wear Nami's and the others' clothes.
Naturally, because of her height, clothes like Robin's and Kalifa's were ruled out first, so the clothes she's wearing now are the smallest sizes that Nami, Vivi, and Lily had to rummage through their closets to find.
However, what was the smallest size for them was still surprisingly large for Perona.
What's even more serious is that, besides their height, their bust, waist, and hip measurements are also very different. The smallest size bras that Nami and the others wear are still huge sizes for Perona, making them impossible to wear. So, Nami and the others had no choice but to find Perona a relatively thicker garment, because only in this way could Perona avoid showing any nipples when she wore it...
Yes, Perona is currently topless...
At this moment, Shen Ye, who was standing alone not far from the bathroom, was unaware of this matter, because he would never participate in the women changing clothes. He had sent all the women away so that he could talk to Perona alone.
However, he was suddenly stunned when he saw Perona coming out of the bathroom.
It wasn't that he was amazed by Perona after she had just come out of the bath. Although the "young girl" was beautiful, she was far from being able to make him stare in awe. It would be more like Alice, Tifa, or even the Empress.
His stunned silence stemmed primarily from his extensive experience; he could clearly see that Perona's outer garment concealed nothing beneath...
Perona was also taken aback. When she saw Shen Ye standing not far from the door, her eccentric and unpredictable personality caused her to blush involuntarily. She then quickly raised her hands to cover her chest.
However, seemingly feeling that such a gesture was a bit too obvious, she then lowered her hand, looking around nonchalantly, but she just didn't dare to look at Shen Ye.
Shen Ye could certainly see the legal loli's guilty conscience, but he was also a little embarrassed. Although Perona was an adult, she looked far too young...
"Ahem... Do the clothes fit?" After a while, Shen Ye coughed lightly and asked.
"It's...it's alright," Perona replied, glancing away.
"Okay, that's good... Um, Robin has prepared hot soup for you, come with me."
With that, Shen Ye turned and walked towards the restaurant, having long since forgotten about his idea of talking to Perona.
Anyway, she can't cause any trouble.
……
"Your name is Perona?"
"Ok!"
"Who are your parents?"
"I don't know, I'm an orphan."
"poor child……"
Inside the restaurant, Shen Ye and the other girls, whether sitting or standing, all had their eyes on Perona, who was sitting at the table, elegantly sipping hot soup with a spoon.
The conversation just now was between Robin and Perona.
However, after listening to their conversation, Shen Ye glanced at Perona. He had calmed down by now and was quite disdainful of Perona's half-truthful answer.
Of course, he also knew that Perona wasn't exactly lying, since she was adopted by Gecko Moria and didn't even know who her biological parents were.
But it must be said that a tragic background can easily win a woman's favor, especially the women around Shen Ye.
Characters like Nami, Robin, and Kalifa all have tragic pasts. Robin is relatively fortunate, as she at least met her mother when she was young. However, Nami and Kalifa, like Perona, do not know who their biological parents are.
So after listening to Perona's words, Nami and Kalifa thoughtfully added a bowl of soup for her.
At this moment, Lily, who was over eight hundred years old, also felt a little emotional. Perhaps older women are more sentimental. Sitting opposite Perona, she turned to look at Shen Ye, who was leaning against the door frame, and said, "Can we let her stay?"
"Do as you please." Shen Ye shrugged. He knew Perona's background very well. Although she had a strange personality and a princess-like temper due to the education of her adoptive father, Moonlight Moria, her true nature was still childish and mischievous.
It's not that it's great, but it's not that it's bad either; it's even a bit naive.
After all, being able to be scared to tears by cockroaches is really beneath a villain's dignity.
Of course, the main reason is that Perona looks really cute. There are plenty of mature women and young girls in her family, but not many legally cute lolis...
Seeing that Shen Ye didn't object, Lily winked at him happily. Then she turned to Perona, who had already finished eating but was still drinking her soup with a frown, and said, "Our respected captain has agreed, so, Perona, would you like to stay?"
In fact, she was the only one among the women who could tell that Perona was a Devil Fruit user, but in her opinion, such a cute little girl could not be a bad person. In addition, given Perona's tragic background, she wanted to keep her on the ship.
As for whether she would fall into someone else's hands after staying on the ship, she couldn't be bothered to think about it. There were already enough women on the ship, so one more or one less wouldn't matter... She seemed to have forgotten her idea of becoming Shen Ye's last woman back in the Queen's City of Spring...
Faced with Lily's invitation, Perona naturally hesitated, after all, she still preferred to return to her adoptive father's side.
However, having spent so much time with her adoptive father, she also harbored rebellious thoughts and longed to see the outside world.
So, after glancing at Shen Ye's expressionless face, she put down her spoon, nodded slightly, and said, "I'm willing."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lily and the other girls smiled at the same time, and then Nami added another bowl of soup for her.
"Welcome to our team, Perona. Please have another bowl of soup. This is a seafood soup that Robin has carefully prepared."
"Th...thank you." Perona managed a weak smile. She had already drunk two bowls, which was her limit as a lady.
However, a lady would not refuse the kindness of others, so, seeing Shen Ye's gloating expression, she picked up the spoon again.
