The two younger sisters regained their liveliness. However, when they tried to transform into their animal forms again, their bodies gave out slightly— they realized that while their fatigue had disappeared, their stamina hadn't directly recovered. 

"Rest is still necessary," Liam reminded them. B.I.B. emerged from his body and, with a flick of his hands, sent the miniaturized 'Yin Healing Injury Balls' ejected from the two sisters flying off into the distance. 

"Oh…" The green-haired and orange-haired sisters obediently nodded, watching in amazement as the purple-red orbs that had come from their own bodies vanished without a trace. The whole process felt magical to them. 

Robin, now feeling much better as she massaged her arm, gazed into the distant sky and asked, "Where did you send those things?" 

"How would I know?" Liam replied indifferently. "Whoever's lucky enough to encounter them, I'll just congratulate them in advance." 

Robin speculated, "Maybe they'll hit a passing News Coo. The poor bird dies and falls into the sea, where it's eaten by a Sea King…" 

Sandersonia turned to her, shocked. "Princess Jolyne, saying that out loud is a little scary…" 

Robin continued, "Or perhaps it lands on some island and gets absorbed by someone, causing their blood vessels to rupture and their entire body to rot away in a pool of blood…" 

Marigold covered her face in horror. "That's even scarier!" 

"It's not that bad," Hancock commented nonchalantly. 

"Not that bad?" thought the two younger sisters, exchanging glances but not daring to voice their thoughts. 

... 

B.I.B. inserted its left arm into Liam's chest, extracted a chip, transferred it to its right hand, and returned the Paw-Paw Fruit to Kuma by pressing it back into his body. 

Kuma immediately felt the familiar power of the Paw-Paw Fruit returning to him. 

"Thanks!" Liam cheerfully patted Kuma's large frame. 

Kuma looked down at him, his gentle voice carrying a rare note of curiosity. "This should be your first time using the Paw-Paw Fruit. How…?" 

Earlier, Liam had used the ability on himself and then on Hancock's younger sisters, expelling their fatigue and injuries and casually sending the resulting balls flying away. His proficiency was startling, almost as though he'd been practicing for years. 

Dragon had similar doubts. 

If Giorno had learned a few of Kuma's techniques during their earlier sparring, that would've been understandable. But for Liam to replicate Kuma's abilities so quickly and flawlessly upon obtaining the fruit, especially techniques like the 'Yin Healing Injury Ball', seemed far too extraordinary. 

"How did you immediately know to use it like that?" 

"Uh?" Liam gave a puzzled look. "Was it supposed to be difficult? Back in Kuja, you explained the Paw-Paw Fruit can repel anything, right? So isn't repelling fatigue from the body completely logical?" 

Logical? 

The Snake Princess and others had question marks floating in their minds. 

No! It's 'definitely' not logical! 

The two younger sisters shook their heads furiously. 

Zoan fruits might be straightforward to use, and as Mythical Zoan models, their abilities were slightly more advanced. However, Liam's technique wasn't something basic— it was a high-level application! Their elder sister had spent considerable time mastering her unique Medusa fruit powers. 

For someone to think of ejecting something like that from their body— and succeed on the first try— would normally require intentional development and experimentation! 

Robin chuckled to herself. 

She was already used to this. 

Liam had an uncanny knack for mastering Devil Fruits. He could wield their powers almost immediately after obtaining them, a phenomenon she'd witnessed countless times. 

When he first borrowed her 'Hana Hana no Mi (Flower-Flower Fruit)', he didn't just grow flowers everywhere; he instantly developed "disguise" techniques and soon after created "flower clones." 

With the 'Shiro Shiro no Mi (Castle-Castle Fruit)', he quickly transformed his body into an intricately designed inner fortress. 

And with the 'Gasu Gasu no Mi (Gas-Gas Fruit)', he effortlessly generated high-concentration oxygen to repel enemies from the start. 

"What's with those looks? Are you doubting me?" Liam glanced around at the Snake Princess, Dragon, Kuma, Haredas, and Boa's younger sisters. Finally, his gaze settled on Hancock. 

"What are you looking at me for?" Hancock asked warily. 

"Well, since no one believes me, let's do another experiment!"

Liam grinned at her, revealing sharp teeth as the pitch-black armor over his shoulders extended forward. Reaching into Hancock's body, he extracted a triangular chip with swirling serpent patterns. 

Hancock froze for a moment, then scoffed, realizing what he was trying to do. "What are you up to? Don't tell me you can actually…" 

B.I.B. embedded the 'Medusa Mythical Zoan' chip into Liam's body. 

"…directly use it…" Hancock's words slowed as she witnessed Liam's transformation. His features grew… alluring? No, they became downright enchanting. 

His jet-black hair, which was already somewhat long, suddenly morphed into writhing serpents that hissed and spewed plumes of poisonous mist. 

"That technique…" Hancock murmured in disbelief, "…could it be?" 

Liam chuckled, flashing a sly smile. "So this is what the poison's about!" 

Tendrils of venomous mist coiled around Hancock's stunning face, and despite her efforts, she inadvertently inhaled it. In an instant, the radiant sparkle in her beautiful eyes dimmed slightly. 

"You… scoundrel…" Hancock gritted through clenched teeth. Her lips barely moved, and even the fury simmering in her now-dimmed gaze would have been imperceptible without close scrutiny. 

"Elder sister, what's wrong?!" The Boa sisters cried out in alarm. 

The Snake Princess herself seemed mildly surprised, glancing between the frozen Hancock and Liam, whose snake-like hair swirled wildly around him. 

"Now then, future 'World's Greatest Beauty', Hancock," Liam said with a devilish grin, crooking his finger at the immobilized empress. "Give me a strut!" 

Hancock's eyes glinted with shame and fury, but her body betrayed her, moving against her will. She walked forward automatically, each step precise and graceful. 

Robin observed, murmuring to herself, "I see now… 'The Eyes of Medusa': petrification of the body. 'Medusa's Venom': enslavement of the mind…" 

"Stride with boldness!" Liam commanded, laughing. 

Hancock marched forward with purpose. 

The Snake Princess couldn't help but marvel at the sight, her eyes shimmering with admiration. "What a formidable ability this Mythical Zoan possesses. Hancock's potential as the next Kuja Empress is extraordinary…" She felt a surge of pride, imagining her successor surpassing her someday. 

"Stride with speed!" Liam added, his laughter growing louder. 

Hancock pivoted and returned, her movements fluid and swift. 

The younger Boa sisters exchanged worried looks. They couldn't bear to watch their elder sister being humiliated like this, and yet, they dared not interfere. They could only hope Hancock wouldn't take her embarrassment out on them later. 

"Stride with grandeur! 'Hahaha!'" Liam's boisterous laughter filled the air. 

Hancock, utterly unable to control herself, was forced to follow his every command. For someone as proud as she, this was an unprecedented—and utterly humiliating—experience. 

Yet, under the influence of the Medusa venom, she found herself oddly detached from her shame. 'If it weren't for the venom, my face would surely be burning red right now… How embarrassing would that be?' 

As she walked past Liam, he suddenly slapped her hard on the backside. With a playful force, he sent her tumbling off the edge of Skypiea into the endless cloud-filled abyss below. 

"Ahhh—!" Her scream faded into the distance. 

"Elder sister!" The younger sisters cried out in terror. Turning to Liam, they saw him grab Princess Jolyne and leap after Hancock with a loud yell. 

The scientist Haredas clutched his long mustache in shock. "That lad… he's using the girl's 'Medusa Mythical Zoan' power, isn't he? But without the 'Gasu Gasu no Mi' he had earlier, leaping off like that… Is he out of his mind?!" 

They were falling from a height of ten thousand meters! 

The roaring wind buffeted their descent, making it almost impossible to open their eyes. 

Robin, cradled in Liam's arms as they plummeted straight down, could hear only the howling gale around her. Squinting against the wind, she barely managed to form words, petals blooming near Liam's ear to create delicate lips that spoke: 

"I'm not afraid…"
