Uchiha Puppet Master, Starting from One Piece.

She was indeed telling the truth.

Rangiku Matsumoto's figure was undoubtedly quite impressive among everyone present. It wasn't the kind of beauty that was subtle and required careful appreciation, but rather a kind of overwhelming presence that couldn't be ignored.

She has a good figure and a large frame, but she doesn't look bulky at all. Instead, her perfectly proportioned curves make her look exceptionally alluring.

Her breasts were the most exaggerated among all of them, like two ripe fruits, hanging heavily on her chest, rising and falling slightly with her breath. Their contours were round and full, without the slightest sign of sagging. Even gravity could not shake their proud uprightness.

Her collarbone was partially concealed by her voluptuous curves, appearing and disappearing only to add to her allure.

Although her waist wasn't as slender as Violet's, it possessed a voluptuous beauty, with her waistline smoothly connecting to her full bust and rounded hips, outlining a breathtaking S-curve.

Her hips were full and firm, like two full moons, forming a perfect transition with her long, straight legs.

The proportions of her legs are almost perfect, with smooth and powerful lines from the top of her thighs to her ankles. Her thighs are round and plump, her calves are slender and firm, and her kneecaps are small and delicate. Every detail can withstand the scrutiny of the most discerning eye.

"How was it?" Matsumoto Rangiku twirled around, her long hair flying in the air and water splashing everywhere. She laughed freely and flamboyantly: "My body has absolutely nothing to be ashamed of."

“…It was truly breathtaking,” Artoria said honestly, her voice carrying a hint of envy that she herself didn’t even realize.

If Matsumoto Rangiku's figure is a passionate and unrestrained flamenco, then Robin's figure is an elegant and composed classical melody.

Robin's curves from waist to hips are particularly smooth and full. Her hips are not as voluptuous as Matsumoto Rangiku's, but they have a firm and perky beauty, like two plump peaches, forming a perfect transition with her long and straight legs.

Her legs were incredibly long, with slender and toned calves, rounded and elastic thighs, delicate and petite kneecaps, and ankles so slender they could be grasped with a single hand. Every detail exuded a unique charm that blended intellect and elegance.

Her skin was porcelain white, like a solidified moonlight. Her long hair fell to her waist, with the ends gently swaying in the water. The contrast between her hair and her porcelain white skin made her skin appear even more like solidified cream and her hair as black as ebony.

"Sister Hua's overall presence and temperament are the most harmonious among all of them."

Although her proportions weren't perfect, every part of her body blended together just right, creating... how to put it... a serene beauty that comes with age.

"and--"

Robin's gaze fell on Unohana Retsu's voluptuous yet graceful curves: "Retsu's skin texture and figure are the most relaxed of all. There is not a trace of deliberate effort or tension. Every line tells a story of being completely at ease. This state is the most difficult to achieve."

After listening, Retsu Unohana smiled gently and shook her head: "Robin, you've praised me too much."

"I'm just telling the truth."

Robin said seriously.

"Although Miss Knight Wang's figure is not as voluptuous as the others present, she has a very unique beauty."

Artoria opened her eyes and looked at Robin with some surprise.

"You have a small frame and delicate, slender bones, which makes you look very petite overall."

Robin continued, her gaze slowly lingering on Artoria: "Her collarbones are beautiful, with clear and graceful lines, like two outstretched butterfly wings. Her shoulders are rounded and delicate, her waist is so slender that it could be grasped with one hand, and the lines of her ribs are faintly visible, yet she does not appear thin at all."

"and--"

Robin paused for a moment: "Your muscle firmness is actually quite amazing. Although you look thin and small, every inch of your skin is like steel that has been carefully forged, smooth and elastic. This kind of small and firm beauty is a unique advantage that people with large frames can never have."

"and--"

Robin's gaze lingered on Artoria's chest for a moment, and his smile deepened: "You're still growing. Your current state is just a process, not the end. There's no need to feel anxious because you're not fully developed yet."

Artoria's face flushed instantly. She opened her mouth to retort, but found Robin's gaze too sincere, so sincere that any rebuttal she made would seem like she was being unreasonable.

"……Thanks."

"Alright, alright—" Matsumoto Rangiku clapped her hands, drawing everyone's attention back to herself.

"Robin's evaluation segment is now complete. Next—"

She blinked, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.

"Shouldn't we call Bai Yujun over?"

The air suddenly became quiet for a moment.

Chapter 186 Mixed Bathing

Artoria's body froze again, this time more noticeably than before, her entire being resembling a statue suddenly frozen in time.

Her face turned red at a visible speed, spreading from her cheeks to her ears, from her ears to her neck, and even her collarbone was tinged with a light pink.

"You, you—" Her voice trembled, "Are you serious?!"

Artoria's reaction was very real...

"Of course I'm serious!"

Matsumoto Rangiku tilted her head, looking completely innocent: "Didn't I just say that I was going to ask Shiraha-kun to come along later?"

"I thought you were joking!"

Artoria's voice suddenly rose eight octaves.

“I never joke about things like this—” Matsumoto Rangiku said with a smile, “Should I call him over now? Shiraha-kun certainly won’t refuse.”

"don't want!!!"

Artoria almost screamed and nearly jumped out of the water: "Rangiku, stop messing around!"

"I wasn't making a scene—"

Matsumoto Rangiku looked completely innocent: "Shiraha-kun is the one who created us, the one who gave us a second life. Isn't it normal to ask him to come along?"

"What's normal about that?!"

Artoria's face was flushed crimson, and her voice trembled slightly, almost cracking: "We look like this now—"

"We're all girls, after all—"

Matsumoto Rangiku waved her hand dismissively: "Shiraha-kun has seen us in swimsuits before."

"How can this be compared to a swimsuit?! We're not wearing anything right now!"

"People don't wear clothes in the hot spring pool anyway—"

Matsumoto Rangiku retorted confidently, "Is wearing clothes while soaking in a hot spring considered taking a bath? That's called washing clothes!"

"you--!"

Artoria was speechless.

Violet couldn't help but chuckle as she watched this scene.

She raised her hand to cover her lips, but laughter escaped through her fingers, carrying a hint of uncontrollable joy.

"Rangiku, stop teasing her—"

“I just wanted to see the King of Knights look shy—” Matsumoto Rangiku said with a grin.

"He usually looks so serious and proper, but I never expected him to be so cute when he's shy."

"Rangiku!"

Artoria was both ashamed and angry, wishing she could sink to the bottom of the water.

"Now, let Bai Yu come quickly."

Violet changed the subject, speaking with some anticipation.

Artoria looked at Violet in disbelief: "Violet?!"

"What's wrong?" Violet tilted her head, a half-smile playing on her lips.

"Does Artoria not want to see Shiraha-kun?"

"I--"

Artoria's voice caught in her throat, her face flushed red, and she couldn't utter a single word.

“Violet is right—”

Matsumoto Rangiku immediately chimed in, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "We've been soaking here for so long, isn't it a bit much to leave Shiraha-kun all alone here?"

"and--"

Nicole Robin spoke slowly, her voice still calm and elegant, yet carrying a meaningful smile.

"Bai Yu-jun has been busy all day and must be very tired. Soaking in a hot spring is one of the best ways to relax. Since we've reserved a hot spring pool, let's invite him to come along... it'll be a good way for him to unwind."

Artoria was completely speechless.

She looked at Robin, then at Violet, then at Matsumoto Rangiku, and finally her gaze settled on Unohana Retsu, who had been quietly smiling.

"Sister Hua—"

Unohana Retsu raised her eyes, a faint smile playing on her gentle features.

"I think..."

She spoke slowly, her voice as gentle as water: "Rangiku is right."

Artoria's last hope was shattered.

“Shiroha-kun really should relax a bit,” Retsu Unohana continued, her tone calm and natural, as if stating a perfectly normal fact.

"and--"

She paused for a moment, her gaze passing over the misty water vapor to the soft glow of the luminous pearl by the pool.

"Baiyu-kun—! Are you there—?"

"Yes, Rangiku, what's wrong? Did you feel uncomfortable soaking in the hot spring?"

"No, no, it's very comfortable—"

Matsumoto Rangiku's voice held an uncontrollable chuckle: "However, we felt it wouldn't be right to leave you alone, so—"

She deliberately dragged out the last syllable.

"Would you like to come and soak in the water too?"

Bai Yu fell silent for a moment. Could such a good thing really exist?

This silence was even longer than before, so long that Matsumoto Rangiku couldn't help but call out several times in Shiraha's direction, "Shiraha-kun? Shiraha-kun, are you still there?"

"……I am here."

Uchiha Hakuba's voice finally rang out.

Are you sure?
