Uchiha Puppet Master, Starting from One Piece

"Bai Yu-kun is quick on his feet; he's already prepared the watermelon?"

Rangiku was the first to approach, sweeping over the watermelons and sand pits on the beach.

"You were running around in such a hurry, so you were preparing a show here? But you're not the one doing the watermelon-hitting, you're the one hiding next to it. Kanna will do the hitting, and we'll direct her, okay?"

Bai Yu was taken aback by her words and was about to refuse when he saw Kanna running towards him from a distance with her short legs. Her hair was messy from the sea breeze, a few grains of sand clung to her swimsuit, and she clutched a seashell in her hand. She looked up at him with her round little face and tugged at his clothes: "Brother Bai Yu, Kanna is going to hit a watermelon! Kanna is really good!"

Retsu Unohana chuckled softly, her voice as gentle as the sea breeze: "Why don't you play with Kanna-chan, Shiraha-kun? This is a nice way to play."

"It should be very interesting. Don't worry, Shiraha-kun, we will give good command."

With all three people and the child staring at him, Bai Yu had no way to refuse. He could only resign himself to walking to the shallow sand pit, squatting down inside, with only his head and shoulders showing. Beside him was a watermelon placed steadily on the sand, its emerald green rind touching his cheek, carrying the coolness of seawater.

Rangiku immediately picked up a piece of black cloth, walked up to Kanna, and blindfolded her. She then took a wooden sword that was taller than Kanna and handed it to her, saying with a smile, "Kanna-chan, don't peek! Follow our instructions to hit the watermelon, but don't hit Shiraha-nii!"

"Toothbrush Mai... If Connor really hits me, I'm afraid I'm done for."

Kanna gripped the hilt of the wooden sword, her small hands barely able to hold it, and her little head, covered by a black cloth, nodded slowly: "Kanna knows! I'll definitely hit the watermelon!"

Bai Yu squatted in the sandpit, watching Kanna sway after being spun around three times. His heart involuntarily jumped. Although he knew that Robin and the others were still reliable, he was still a little flustered. He could clearly feel the coolness of the watermelon next to him, and he could see Rangiku and the other two standing not far away, with smiles on their lips. When their eyes fell on him, their smiles were wicked.

"Kanna-chan, take two steps forward! Walk straight ahead!"

Rangiku's voice rang out first, and Kanna did as she was told, but she wobbled a little to the left, her short legs making a soft rustling sound on the sand.

Shiraha subconsciously shrank to the side, her cheek almost touching the watermelon rind, but then she heard Unohana Retsu's gentle voice: "No, Kanna-chan, move a little to the right, and walk quietly. Watermelon-kun is waiting over there."

"Sister Hua, don't teach me wrong, it's on the left!"

Rangiku laughed and retorted, then called out to Kanna.

"One more step to the left, raise the wooden sword!"

"Kanna-chan, grip the hilt firmly."

"Take just half a step forward, and the watermelon will be right in front of you."

Three voices mingled in the sea breeze, leaving Kanna completely disoriented. Her small body swayed from side to side, and the hand gripping the wooden sword also wobbled back and forth.

Bai Yu watched as Kanna's figure drew closer, her small face covered by a black cloth facing him, the tip of her wooden sword faintly pointing at his shoulder, and beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

"Kanna-chan, get ready!" Rangiku's voice suddenly rose. "Swing! Swing it down hard!"

Retsuya Unohana softly echoed, "Yes, now, Kanna-chan."

"Hit the target on the first hit."

The moment the words left her lips, Kanna's small body suddenly sank, and with all her might, she swung the wooden sword down hard! In that instant, Bai Yu only saw a blur as the wooden sword came crashing down with a whooshing sound.

next second.

"Snap—Bang!"

A deafening roar exploded in their ears. The seemingly light wooden sword struck the middle of the watermelon with tremendous force. The emerald green rind shattered instantly, and the bright red flesh mixed with sweet juice splashed everywhere. A stream of cool, sweet liquid instantly splattered all over Bai Yu's face, even his eyes, nose, and mouth were covered with watermelon juice and bits of flesh. Watermelon seeds clung to his black hair, and red juice streamed down his cheeks, making him look extremely disheveled.

After swinging her sword, Kanna tore off the black cloth, looked at the watermelon shattered on the ground, and then at Bai Yu, whose face was covered in watermelon juice: "Are you alright, Brother Bai Yu...?"

Bai Yu stood frozen in the sandpit, taking a long time to react.

I got hit by a watermelon...

He raised his hand and wiped his face, his fingertips covered in melon juice and pulp, and even the corners of his mouth were stained with red juice. The sweet smell lingered in his nose.

Meanwhile, Rangiku was already doubled over with laughter, her golden curly hair swaying violently with each movement. She had one hand on Robin's shoulder and the other clutching her stomach, laughing so hard she could barely breathe: "Sorry, Shiraha, I didn't expect Kanna to be so strong..."

Robin smiled, her eyes full of laughter. She took a tissue from the beach chair next to her, walked slowly to Bai Yu, squatted down, and gently wiped the melon juice off his face.

Her fingertips were cool and delicate. When she brushed against the corner of his eye, her movements were as light as a feather. She was also very careful when she wiped away the melon seeds stuck to his eyelashes. Bai Yu could clearly feel the touch of her fingertips and her breath, which was close to his, carrying a faint floral fragrance.

Meanwhile, Retsu Unohana stood to the side, the smile on her lips gradually fading, a genuine surprise flashing in her eyes. She slowly walked to the broken watermelon, bent down and gently touched the flesh that had been split in two, then looked at Kanna's small body, her eyes full of inquiry and astonishment.

The force of that sword strike just now not only cleaved the watermelon in two, but even caused a small section of the sand to sink in. The moment the wooden sword struck the watermelon, she even felt the shockwave. Such a small body contained such immense and powerful strength. Although she had never seen Kanna's true form, she now believed that Kanna was a dragon.

She walked up to Bai Yu and watched as Robin wiped his cheeks and reached out to brush the melon pulp off his shoulder.

With a tone of amazement, she said, "I never expected that someone as petite and cute as Kanna-chan could possess such astonishing power. It truly makes me look at her in a new light."

Kanna tugged at Bai Yu's clothes, still clutching a piece of watermelon pulp that had fallen to the ground in her little hand, and held it to his mouth: "Brother Bai Yu, eat some watermelon, it's sweet."

Bai Yu opened his mouth and bit into the watermelon flesh. The sweet taste melted in his mouth, easing his slight dishevelment. He helplessly rubbed Kang Na's little head, looked at the three smiling people in front of him, and then looked at the watermelon juice and flesh all over the ground. A smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

Robin wiped away the last bit of melon juice from his face, gently touched his flushed cheek with her fingertips, and whispered, "Luckily you didn't hit him, but you gave me quite a fright."

Looking at the smile and tenderness in her eyes, Bai Yu felt as if his heart had been gently tickled by a feather.

"Let's play volleyball later, go apply sunscreen first."

"good……"

"Oh, I'll wipe Kanna and Captain Unohana first. Shiraha-kun, I'll leave Robin to you."

Rangiku winked at her, then smiled and pulled Unohana and Kanna away.
