Mansherry's transformation was nothing short of miraculous. After consuming the Devil Fruit, she had blossod from a tiny girl into a statuesque beauty, her delicate features now frad by a taller, more mature figure.
Nami, too, seed to be experiencing a growth spurt, her height increasing at an almost unnatural rate, as if she had been given so magical elixir.
Koala sighed, looking down at her own unchanged body. At eighteen years old, she was beginning to suspect that even a second growth spurt wouldn't add much to her stature.
"I'm dood to be the family's shortest mber," Koala lanted, suddenly throwing herself forward to wrap her arms around Mansherry's slender waist. Tears stread down her face as she wailed, "Waaah! Even you've grown taller, Sherry! I'm going to be the smallest one from now on!"
Mansherry's eyes widened with panic at Koala's unexpected outburst. She gently patted the smaller woman's back, her touch soft and comforting.
"Hey, um, Koala..." she said hesitantly, "if you want to be taller... maybe I could try sothing with my new powers?"
Koala froze mid-sob. "Huh?" She lifted her tear-streaked face, eyes suddenly bright with hope as she gazed up at Mansherry. "Your new ability can affect other people too? That's amazing! Show how tall you can make !"
Mansherry smiled warmly at her "little sister's" excitent. With a gentle nod, she placed her palm against Koala's body and focused her powers.
In an instant, Koala's height began to expand like a balloon being inflated. From her original 160 centiters, she stretched upward until she towered at an impressive 190 centiters. Her black-stockinged legs, which already made up most of her height, beca even longer and more slender after the transformation.
Koala gasped, looking down at her new body in amazent. "Is this... is this how Sister Hancock sees the world?" She straightened her back, a new confidence flowing through her. "No wonder her attitude is the way it is! It feels like everything in the world is beneath , all living beings bowing at my feet. I am the queen of this world!!!"
Hancock, who had been observing the scene with mild amusent, raised an eyebrow. "How ignorant," she comnted dryly. "You've only grown a little taller, and already you think you've beco royalty?"
Koala scratched her head in embarrassnt, sticking out her tongue playfully. "Hehe, I'm just excited! But this perspective really is sothing else. It feels like I can look down on everyone now."
A mischievous glint appeared in her eyes as a new idea struck her. "Wait a minute... Hancock, you and Yamato-nee are both tall. Could it be that you both awakened your Conqueror's Haki because of your height?" She grinned triumphantly. "If that's the case, I'll stay this tall until I awaken my own Conqueror's Haki!"
"Don't be ridiculous," Hancock scoffed, imdiately seeing through Koala's ploy. "If Conqueror's Haki were related to height, then Vice Admiral Gion and all the giants would possess it." She fixed Koala with her signature imperious stare. "Don't think you can use such a flimsy excuse to stay like this. Change back to normal."
Koala hung her head, her expression dejected as she pouted dramatically, filling the room with an aura of playful grievance.
anwhile, Yamato had been watching the transformation with growing curiosity. Unlike Koala, however, she was interested in experiencing the opposite effect. The oni-woman approached Mansherry eagerly.
"Can you make smaller?" Yamato asked, her eyes sparkling with childlike enthusiasm. "I want to know what it feels like!"
Mansherry nodded happily, never one to refuse such a harmless request. With another gentle touch, the towering Yamato began to shrink rapidly. Her impressive 263-centiter fra diminished until she stood at less than one ter tall—smaller than even Mansherry had been before her own transformation.
As her perspective shifted, everything in Yamato's vision seed to magnify. The living room now appeared vast and imposing, furniture looming like mountains. Delighted by this new viewpoint, she began darting around the room with unbridled excitent, like a husky puppy let off its leash for the first ti.
Koala's interest was piqued further by Yamato's transformation. She turned to Mansherry with renewed enthusiasm.
"Make even taller!" she pleaded. "I want to know what it's like to be as tall as an admiral!"
Hancock watched the three of them with a mixture of amusent and exasperation. She shook her head, unable to suppress a small smile despite herself.
"Are you all children?" she asked rhetorically. "You're grown won acting like toddlers with a new toy." She turned, seeking out the one person who might restore so sanity to the situation. "You should talk so sense into them, Luffy."
As she spoke, Hancock looked around the room, but Luffy was nowhere to be seen. Her brow furrowed slightly in confusion.
Just then, the door to the innermost room swung open. Luffy erged, his black hair still damp from a recent shower, dressed casually in a short-sleeved shirt and shorts.. In his hand was a cold bottle of cola, which he took a long swig from as he entered.
"Ahh!" he sighed contentedly. "Nothing beats a cold drink after a hot bath."
As he stepped into the living room, he paused, blinking at the strange scene before him. A tiny Yamato, a gigantic Koala, Mansherry with her hands glowing softly, and Hancock watching it all with barely concealed amusent.
"Huh?" Luffy's eyes darted between Yamato and Koala. "What are you doing? Shouldn't your heights be the other way around?"
The four won stared at him in stunned silence, all thinking the sa thing: "When did he finish bathing?!" It had only been a few minutes since he'd disappeared into the bathroom, yet here he was, already showered and refreshed.
Ignoring their surprised expressions, Yamato refocused on her tiny new form. She bounded over to Luffy with surprising agility despite her diminutive size.
"Look, Luffy!" she exclaid, twirling in a circle. "I've turned into a dwarf! Isn't it amazing?"
Not to be outdone, Koala, now towering at over three ters tall after Mansherry's second enhancent, strode over with ground-shaking steps. She stood over Luffy, hands on her hips, looking down at the Vice Admiral with exaggerated superiority.
"Hehe," she grinned mischievously. "Luffy, I'm now as tall as an admiral! I wonder which of your Marine colleagues will dare laugh at now?"
