Once dawn had broken over the Grand Line, Luffy stretched himself awake in his bed. Today was a big day. According to Nami, it would be a little under two weeks to sail to Kyuka Island. He had three new crewmates and a princess in need to get up to speed on all the relevant details. But he could also tell that something needed to be done to truly ingratiate the crew. He had almost twenty under his command now, and that meant now more than ever that the bonds between them needed to be strong.
He emerged from his room and walked on deck, taking a deep breath of salty sea air. A smile couldn't help but form as he observed the open water, the Merry lightly bobbing on the waves. The Mini Melody was just alongside it, both ships looking content.
He then limbed the steps to the aft deck where Honey Queen was using her Devil Fruit powers to water the tangerine trees, Nojiko nearby keeping an eye on things. Nearby was Vivi passing the time by trying to catch fish. As soon as Luffy walked up behind her, the princess set down the rod and bowed.
"Good morning, Captain! I hope you don't mind, but I asked Makino if I could help in any way."
"Not at all! Come on, breakfast should be ready soon."
Vivi and Luffy filed in and the princess was surprised to see Mikita working in the kitchen alongside Reiju and Carmen. The blonde seemed so content as she mixed crepe batter in a metal bowl before pouring it onto a hot skillet while Carmen handled the eggs and Reiju checked on her quiche in the oven.
The main dining room table was already crammed full, to the point where they had to dig out a smaller picnic table from the cargo hold. Some eyebrows were raised at Kaya packing that onto the Merry but it had certainly come in handy.
Now there were close to twenty people crowded around the two tables. Clarisse had let her hair down and changed into a more fitting set of workout gear with her abs and biceps on display as she seemed to brag to Kuina and Alvida. Custard was mostly keeping to herself, only coming in once Reiju yelled that breakfast was ready.
After several minutes of enjoying the delicious food, with Mikita blushing from how many people enjoyed her crepes, Luffy decided it was time to reveal some things. First and foremost was Imu, something which all of the newcomers took in stride… Except for one.
Vivi's eyes went to pinpricks as she processed exactly what Luffy just told her. That the World Government, the organization Alabasta had been a part of since its founding, was actually being run by some malevolent creature from the shadows this whole time.
"N-No, that… That can't be true… The World Nobles… Th-They… They're the descendants of the founders, they're the ones who-!"
"I don't know all of the details, but those guys are just a bunch of props. Imu's the one who actually set the whole thing up, planted himself on Mariejois with the Elder Stars listening to him. I'm sorry, Vivi, but it's the truth."
"But… But what about me?! The Nefertari family were one of the twenty founders!"
"Wait, what?! Then doesn't that make you a World Noble too?" Nami gaped.
"No… My ancestors decided they didn't want to leave their home to live on the Red Line so they declined. The only one who declined, actually. And given how the Nobles… behave, I still thank them to this day."
The other ladies could only nod. Sally had firsthand experience at just how horrendous the Celestial Dragons were, still remembering her parents being two of the orchestrators behind the burning of Grey Terminal all for the sake of "impressing" one into getting the same status.
"But… My father… What will…"
"Let's focus on one issue at a time," Moodie told her, "We need to stop Crocodile first, then worry about Imu later."
"I suppose you're right… None of this matters until we can put the kingdom back in order."
Luffy nodded before continuing on, pulling out the Six Powers book and warning them to never let anyone outside of the crew get their hands on it. The former Baroque Works agents couldn't believe they were being trusted with something like this but that wasn't the end of it. He asked if Clarisse and Custard wanted to have a Devil Fruit power. And it was only because Mikita already the Kilo-Kilo Fruit that she was being skipped over.
"So many of my siblings have eaten one… I suppose it would only be fitting."
"Heh, if it means I can keep up with all of you, I'll take it!"
"Alright! Clarisse, you're up first!" Luffy placed his hand on the burly woman's forehead and let the power of Nika flow through him. She could feel her whole body tingle until Luffy stepped back and she revealed her Zoan transformation.
The already brawny woman grew up and out as her chocolate skin turned to a light grey, toughening into a leathery layer for all of her new muscle as her feet turned to rounded hooves and a large, single horn grew out from her nose.
"The Rhino-Rhino Fruit," she realized, opening her eyes and only now realizing her horn was scraping the ceiling. She quickly changed back before she could cause any real damage, but she could already feel the difference in her strength.
Custard then stood, wondering what kind of ability she would have. Her family was a living menagerie of ability from juicing anything in reach to manipulating cream and butter. Luffy had to get on a chair to properly reach her forehead and soon the turncoat Charlotte felt something flow down to her toes.
When she opened her eyes, the first thing she felt was something sitting in her stomach. Curious, she focused on it and felt something rapidly travel up her intestines and into her throat. Her gag reflex didn't trigger at all, allowing her to bring the strange object up to her mouth where she soon revealed…
"Cherries?!" the crew gawked. Custard looked down in surprise and saw that a pair of perfectly red cherries still joined at the stem were now sitting in her hand, like they had just been picked from the tree.
"Okay, that's a weird one… Even by my standards."
"Eh, if it means free fruit to work with, then I'll take it!" Mikita was about to collect them only for the little fruits to start blinking. She panicked before throwing them into the trash can… Which promptly exploded into a wave of wooden shrapnel that made the entire crew duck.
"WHAT THE?!"
"The Harvest-Harvest Fruit…" Custard told them, "I can feel more fruits like that in my stomach… And I can harvest them out of me like those cherries…"
"But all of the fruits explode?!"
"I don't know about y'all, but I feel gypped." Mr. 5 sighed from the wall, making the rest of the crew blanche. When did he even walk in?!
"Hey, any Devil Fruit can be helpful as long as you know how to use it," Luffy shrugged, "Alright, according to Nami we have a little under a week until we reach the next island. I want the two of you to train up, since we'll be going up against Baroque Works directly."
The girls all nodded, the former agents all looking down. They knew exactly how big of an enemy they had.
"But… I also want you all to take some time to get to know each other better."
The former agents and Vivi were all confused. It was one thing to train together but why would he specifically ask for that? But since they had six days, permitting the weather didn't turn completely insane on them again, what was the harm in trying to bond a little bit?
(Days to Reach Kyuka Island: 5)
"Okay, easy does it…" Kaya said soothingly as Mikita slowly walked into the cabin, groaning in exhaustion all the while.
"The guy… Is an animal… I don't get…"
"Sssshhh, it's okay, the first day is always the worst." She helped the former agent onto her hammock, dabbing her sweaty face with a cloth and handing her a glass of water. Mikita drained it in four gulps before sighing.
Luffy wanted to give her some one-on-one training to help her get a better handle on her Kilo-Kilo Fruit. It turned out that she could increase the mass of one specific body part, at the cost of now having to lug around and swing an arm or leg that suddenly weighed several hundred pounds. And that meant her muscles got really sore, really fast.
Once the pain died down from "OWWWW!" to "Yep, going to feel that tomorrow…", Mikita craned her neck up to see Kaya was gone to help someone else. She returned a few minutes later with a panting Vivi, apparently having learned the hard way to not offer to help Kuina with her spars.
Vivi was rested on the hammock next to Mikita, making the blonde clam up. It wasn't exactly easy to talk with the girl whom you outright tried to murder, after all. Her eyes instead went to Kaya who was flipping through an old medical textbook she brought from home and found something more curious.
"Hey, where'd you learn to be a nurse?"
"Oh, me? Taught myself, really. Not much else to do when you're sick in bed all day… Especially when you were poisoned."
Both resting girls blinked in surprise. Kaya explained all about "Klahadore" and how Luffy saves her and all of Syrup Village from being ravaged by the Black Cat pirates all so a maniacal pirate could inherit her estate.
"Gosh, that's horrible…" Vivi lamented, "To think he lived with you, acted like a member of your family. No wonder you wouldn't want to stay there."
"Yes, leaving was partially to escape the memories of him. I really trusted Kla- Kuro. I considered him my confidante. But there was more to it than that."
"Freedom?" Mikita asked.
"Yes, exactly! I finally felt like myself again, I wasn't some invalid confined to a room all day."
Vivi nodded along, admitting how she hated when she was shuffled around from meeting to lessons with no real break. She was also twice as grateful for him and the Guardians of Alabasta, men whom she trusted as much as her father.
Mikita, however, couldn't help but wonder something else. "So, you grew up in a big, fancy house?"
"Well, yes?"
"Personal staff, a huge trust fund when you turned eighteen?"
"Well, it was actually a will, but yes, I was the sole beneficiary."
The kilo-woman couldn't help but scoff. Vivi crossed her arms in offense only for Mikita to chuckle. "Sorry, I can't exactly relate. When, you know, your parents are both dead when you're fifteen, and they barely had a beri saved up since your dad, bless his stupid ass, decided to gamble on horse races every week instead of, you know saving anything for his daughter who might have wanted to go to the same culinary school as them! And then, when you have to close the shop they built by hand because you have no money left no matter how many ninety-hour weeks you work, so you go into odd jobs only for some ass to smuggle drugs into your purse at a secure port and you become the fall guy! And no matter what you do, you can't this urge of what a fucking idiot you are all because you-!"
Mikita blinked and realized both girls were staring at her, plus Clarisse, Nojiko and Makino poking from the door.
"Heh… Oops? Anyway, yeah, can't say I relate to having a killer butler. Still sucks that it happened, though, sorry…"
Vivi's hand rested on her shoulder. "I can't imagine all of that happening, especially when you were still a teenager. I'm so sorry…"
"Wha?! Why are you apologizing?! Don't you hate me?!"
"I hate Crocodile, but that doesn't extend to you. You were being used, just like the rebels and everyone else in Baroque Works. And, at least the whole kill-happy thing was just an act."
"…Mostly. I, eh, might have taken a little too much pride in my work."
"Hey, just don't sit on anyone here and we're good," Nojiko shrugged, making them all laugh before the onlookers headed back on deck and Kaya sat next to her fellow blonde.
"You might not have come from money, but that does carry it's own problems. It's exactly what made Kuro target me. But here, we can all trust each other and sleep easier. Luffy doesn't judge where you came from, only how you act."
"And the minute you heard Crocodile's real plan, you told his right-hand woman you wanted to quit. That's enough for me to let bygones be bygones."
Mikita could hardly believe it, her green eyes watering as she saw the honest joy in Vivi's gaze. "Wow… Thank you, Vivi… I, um, I don't know what to say."
"Well, if you want to make it up to me, I do really miss these special date tarts that Terra Cotta made when I was girl…"
Interested, Mikita headed with them to the kitchen as her helping hands. They emerged about an hour later with a tray full of delicious fruit pastries that the crew ate as a nice reprieve from training with Luffy gobbling down half a dozen himself and appreciating seeing the former bounty hunter so happy.
(Days to Reach Kyuka Island: 4)
Nami was humming cheerfully as she delicately picked another tangerine off the branch, inspecting it for any rot or invading insects. Satisfied with a shiny orange rind, she added it to the basket slung over her arm while Nojiko walked up with a full watering can.
"Still feels weird to see you picking the fruit for a change…"
"Hey, have to make up for lost time!" Nami handed the fruit off to her sister, where it would all be stored in the kitchen for later. She walked right past Custard sitting on a barrel sharpening her blade.
Nami thought nothing of it until she noticed the violet-haired woman was staring at her. "You need something?"
"I'm just curious… Nojiko is your sister, yes?"
"Yeah. What about it?"
"I just… Can't help notice that you look next to nothing alike."
"We were both adopted," Nojiko told her, "Belle-Mere took us when I was a toddler, and Nami was a baby. She's the only parent either of us have known."
"Ah, I see. I hope she was good to you both, and waits for your return."
When they both looked down, Custard almost tripped over herself apologizing. The sisters didn't mind and soon all three were seated around the same barrel with glasses of water, Custard listening to the story of the Arlong Pirates and how they "made an example" of Belle-Mere for not having enough money to cover the new tribute payment for herself and her kids.
"My god… That kind of selflessness… And to think she could've offed Arlong had she been quicker on the draw."
"Yeah, but then the rest of his crew would have done worse to her," Nami sighed, "But at least it's all over now. Luffy finally but that fish-bastard in his place. Belle-Mere can rest easier now that he's out of the East Blue forever."
"Heh, I can imagine. We had encountered our fair share of fishmen and mermaids, including my half-sisters Praline and Prim."
"Wait, half-sisters?" Nojiko quirked, "Same mom, different dad?"
"Of course. You didn't think the Charlotte Family got as big as it did with Big Mom practicing monogamy, did you?"
The thief and the farmer felt a chill run up their spines, and only got worse as Custard admitted that Big Mom had taken dozens of fathers over the years to produce her dozens of children. She, Cracker and Angel were one set of triplets, while the other eighty-two were half-siblings. From only children to a set of decuplets, the end result was the same. The children were raised to be part of the pirate crew, and the fathers were just sperm donors who were immediately brushed aside.
"What. The. FUCK. Is wrong with that woman?!" Nami barked, "Seriously, she considers candy more important than her kids, except when their following her orders, and she uses men like her baby factories?!"
Nojiko was just taking a loooooong swig of her drink, especially since at no point during that whole explanation did Custard say that the union of Big Mom and her father was consensual…
Custard could only bitterly chuckle. "Yes, and let's not get into the children who have deserted the family. Lola and Praline have been marked for death. We're supposed to apprehend them so Big Mom can personally punishing them."
"Wait… Wouldn't that include you?"
"Yes, and I can say with absolute certainty that these last few days have been… Fantastic."
Nami and Nojiko stared at each other in shock, then back to the swordswoman as her face grew ten years younger with her smile. "I was sparring with Luffy yesterday and he… complimented me. Said he was amazed at how I already had Haki down, and that I was already learning the fundamentals of the Tempest Kick. I couldn't believe it. If I make mistakes, he doesn't berate me or laugh at me. I can actually speak my mind, can spend time how I want, can actually sleep comfortably…"
The sisters moved next to her, an arm on each shoulder. They swore that they would never let any of the Big Mom Pirates bring her back, a sentiment that was made more and more clear. Whether she was sparring against Kuina, practicing her Devil Fruit, or simply chatting and unwinding after a long day, Custard felt more at home here in a week than almost four decades of living on the Totland Archipelago.
(Days to Reach Kyuka Island: 3)
The decks of both the Going Merry and Mini Melody were bustling as Luffy ran his crew through drills. To practice Moonwalk, he was having the more experienced girls jump from one deck to the other about five feet apart. He had promised to stretch down and save any of them before they could fall into the ocean, but none had needed rescue so far.
The others were going through the rest of the Six Powers. Carmen was helping Clarisse learn the Tempest Kick, Mikita was dodging Kaya shooting gems at her to learn Paper Arts, Custard was trying to learn Finger Gun, and Honey Queen was mixing her Devil Fruit with Shave to learn she could leave syrup trails that could slip up anyone pursuing her.
All in all, another productive day that was going smoothly. That is, until Carina yelled down from the crow's nest.
"Baroque Works ships spotted! Two of them, coming from the west!"
Alvida led Clarisse, Carmen and Honey Queen onto the Mini Melody while the rest of the Straw Hats battened down the hatches and prepared for battle on the Going Merry. The smaller ship was soon steered alongside the caravel with Alvida soon veering off to outflank the attackers.
The Straw Hat Pirates could now see two galleons, both brandishing the jolly roger of Baroque Works: a grinning skull sitting atop feathery purple wings with a pair of rapiers crossed behind it.
"Those wouldn't happen to be your guys, would they?" Kuina asked.
Clarisse shook her head. "Nah, they're all left behind on Whiskey Peak. These are just a bunch of mooks that are in line to become Frontier Agents now that we're out."
"Great, so they'll be gunning for a promotion…" Desire said, working out the cricks in her neck. The enemy ships were now advancing towards them, leading Carina and Moodie to start loading up the front cannon and waiting for the order.
The battle was kicked off when the Baroque Works ships fired on the Merry, Desire summoning a barrier to block the shots from hitting the hull. As soon as it dropped, the Straw Hats returned fire with the bow cannon that landed right between the enemy vessels. As Nami quickly tried to reorient them, Alvida drove the Mini Melody off their right flank and fired her cannons straight into the left ship.
The crew all watched the Millions scurry for lifeboats as their ship began to sink but Luffy felt something was off…
"TAKE COVER, NOW!"
The girls all hurried behind whatever they could before a metallic whirring filled the air and soon the deck was riddled with bullets. Luffy glared up and saw it, a flying vulture wearing an aviator cap with two small machine-guns strapped to its back. Riding the bird was an otter in sunglasses and a silly-looking onesie.
"The Unluckies, just great…" Custard sighed, "Someone must keep an eye on Vivi, they'll be especially eager to take her out."
The princess grumbled but shuffled below deck for the time being as the Merry pulled alongside the remaining Baroque Works ship. Now it was sandwiched between the two vessels with Alvida boarding with a grappling hook while Makino and Kuina led the girls off the Merry.
On the purple-hulled ship were about fifty men and women dressed in everything from cardigans to swimwear, all brandishing guns, chains, knuckledusters, and more.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the traitor bitches! I'm gonna love being the NEW Miss Monday!"
"Dibs on the pink ones!"
"What's this dumbass thinking? Is he a pirate or a gigolo?!"
"Who cares, KILL THEM!"
Unfortunately for the Millions, they grossly underestimated the Straw Hats. Despite the forty or so goons getting backup in the form of their allies climbing aboard from the now sunken ship, they were still grossly outmatched.
A few of them had the brilliant idea to sneak onto the Going Merry… Only for Nami to swaddle them in a blanket of clouds before zapping them with her nimbus staff. Mikita soon found herself floating over the whole skirmish, keeping an eye out for any oncoming attackers including a certain pair of assassins.
"Captain, four o'clock!"
Luffy turned to see that the Unluckies were flying right at him, the vulture's guns already spinning to life while the otter was armed with two spiked clamshells at the end of its stubby flippers. The pirate just grinned as he stretched his arms back, coincidentally knocking down several bounty hunters that were trying to outflank him.
"Gum-Gum Bazooka!"
The machine gun rounds bounced right off his rubber limbs, making the assassins pale in shock before they were blown down by Luffy's attack. The duo clattered to the ground of the Merry, quickly being pinned down by a half-rhino woman.
"Don't even blink, or you're dead."
Once the Millions were sent packing, but not before Carina looted their haul for a quick payday, the rest of the Straw Hats returned and circled around the fallen assassins with Luffy's glare full of so much rage that it made even the two animals sweat.
"Go send a message to your boss: He wants to fight us, get down here and do it himself. If you two ever pull a stunt like this again, you won't live long enough to regret it. Got it?"
The duo nodded furiously before Clarisse moved aside to let them go, flying away over the horizon. Vivi watched them disappear from sight and felt a weight lift from her shoulders.
"Luffy, that was incredible! Without the two of them, we have a huge issue gone!"
"Heh, thanks, but we shouldn't get cocky. These guys were the small fries, right?"
"Yes, the Millions are the lower-level workers under the Frontier Agents. The Billions are under the Officer Agents and are much tougher. I just wish I could do more…"
"You'll get your chance when you blow the whole operation open. For now, focus on techniques like Shave and Observation Haki so you can escape any trouble and notice it ahead of time."
The princess nodded, going over those techniques with Kuina less than an hour later like they weren't just attacked.
(Days to Reach Kyuka Island: 2)
It was important to appreciate the sights on any journey, even one with a time-crunch like this. Vivi couldn't help but agree as she and several of the other Straw Hat Pirates leaned against, sat on, or stood near the railing of the Merry and admired the gorgeous sunset. Rays of orange and pink with purple shadows stretching over the clouds as the sun itself began to dip beneath the blue horizon, making the whole sea shine a brilliant shade of gold.
Luffy was some distance away on his "special seat" atop the Merry's figurehead, relishing the sight for himself while giving his crew some space. He could only let out a sigh of contentment. This was the life he had always wanted, and once Alabasta was sorted out then who knows where'd he go next? He couldn't wait to find out!
It was only when he heard a clatter of something falling that he looked towards his crew. Vivi was quickly lifting herself off the ground, her face beet red and her eyes as wide as saucers while the others all looked confused.
"Hey, what's going on?"
The princess all but tripped over herself before reaching him. "L-Luffy, I just heard the wildest rumor about you! Nami said you had slept with…"
He quirked an eyebrow as Vivi stumbled through her words for a bit before admitting "…Almost everyone here…"
"Yeah, that's not a rumor."
Vivi's eyebrows almost flew off her face. "Wha?"
"Yeah, it's true. I have an open relationship with most of the girls here."
The sun completely set beneath the horizon, many of the girls admiring the last beautiful rays before Vivi reacted with a deafening shout.
"WHAAAAAAAAAT?! Y-Y-You…"
"Jeez, calm down!" Kuina snapped, "Yeah, he fucks all of us, big deal!"
"But! But! But! I just… WHY?!"
"Why not?" Nojiko shrugged, "I'll admit, I was shocked too especially when it involved Nami. But hey, he's happy, we're happy, what's the problem?"
"Wait a minute, how did you only just find out?" Luffy asked, "All of the other girls got told right after they joined."
Makino could only blush. "Sorry about that, Luffy! We've been so preoccupied that it totally slipped my mind!"
"Oh, then sorry about that…" Luffy scratched his cheek. He most certainly didn't see anything wrong with the setup, but he couldn't blame a prim and proper princess for being so freaked out. Thankfully, Sally placed a comforting hand on the young royal's shoulders.
"Vivi, I understand what you've probably been raised like. Lots of tutoring, constantly being guarded, going to all of these important functions from a young age. It's more than a full-time job, isn't it?"
"Yes… It was all a lot of hard work, especially having to learn Alabasta's history and so many foreign customs."
"And that means you've had the expectations of marrying a suitor or a fellow royal for as long as you can remember, yes?"
Vivi nodded. Her father had thankfully held off any courting attempts until she was properly coronated as crown princess which had now been delayed two years while she was undercover for Baroque Works.
"So, I imagine any sort of relationship beyond that would be strange to you but let me assure you this: I am far happier now than I ever was with my husband. Luffy is kind, empathetic, and truly cares about us as people."
Nami then moved to her other side, adding how Luffy kept anything sexual until after they dropped anchor for the night. He goes up to each woman and asks if they would like to join him for the evening.
"…And if we say no, that's the end of it. No whining, no pressuring, no pulling rank on us. Sometimes it's just one or two, sometimes it's a lot more. And every time, he kisses us goodnight and tells us he loves us. I can't tell you how happy it makes me whenever he says it."
Several of the others nodded. They had never imagined sharing a guy with another woman, let alone with so many at once, but Luffy seemed to have more than enough affection to go around.
"Goodness… Wait, you're married?"
Sally just chuckled. "Oh, on paper, yes. In reality, though… Have you any idea who King Stelly is?"
Vivi's eyes narrowed. "You mean that pompous, elitist blowhard that my father explicitly warned me to never act like?" She then blinked before frowning. "Oh my gods, I am SO sorry…"
"Don't be, he's no doubt still steaming about it. At least he proved useful for one thing…"
"Heck yeah he did! That thirty-carat diamond wedding ring got me three million beris in Loguetown's finest pawn shop!"
The rest of the crew burst out laughing, none more so than Luffy. That jackass had gotten exactly what he deserved, as far as he was concerned. Now that night had fallen, he decided to turn in and do his usual routine. Several of the girls turned in themselves, with Vivi indeed being impressed when he respected their wishes and let them leave.
He then walked to the captain's quarters with Nami, Kaya, Desire and Alvida behind him… Alongside two more. It was only when Luffy turned around that he noticed Honey Queen and Mikita had decided to follow.
"Oh? You two want in?"
"You've proven nothing but a gentleman to all of us," Honey Queen sighed sweetly, "I feel you've more than earned it, for all the kindness and knowledge you've given me."
Mikita, however, just shrugged. "Yeah, you're a pretty good guy but honestly it's just been way too long for me."
"Oh, you two are in for a treat…" Alvida walked behind them, locking the bedroom door before standing behind her beloved captain, leaving a long tender kiss before whispering in his ear.
"Go on, Captain. Claim them as you did all of us…"
(Cue Sex Scene)
Luffy's cock sprung free from his shorts, making the two blondes gasp in surprise. No wonder he had so many women! He stepped towards Honey Queen first, capturing her lips in a passionate kiss as Mikita watched with eager anticipation. She then noticed his exposed dong was available and decided, why not?
She knelt down and crawled along before grasping the base of his shaft, making Luffy double-down on his makeout session. Honey Queen mewled in delight as he teased her breasts under her tight leather top, while Luffy appreciated the enthusiastic handjob. Once Honey Queen came up for air, Luffy gestured to his bed. Mikita stood up herself, but not before getting a long, wet kiss of her own as thanks.
Once he sat down, he had the blondes lay side by side before hooking a hand underneath their panties and beginning to stimulate their dripping wet pussies.
Luffy turned to the side and was delighted to see the other four all waiting patiently for their turn, having all stripped down to their underwear and fingering their pussies. Even Kaya, the proper blonde who was so averse to the idea, was now clearly enjoying herself.
His eyes turned down to the eager duo beneath him, his hands resting on their plump, squeezable asscheeks. He primed his cock behind Honey Queen. "You ready?"
"Yes, Luffy! Give it to me!"
He thrust deep inside her tunnel in one hard push, making the blonde shriek in delight. She slammed her hips back in time with her new lover, adoring every second of being filled to the brim with his fat cock. But just as she had her first of many orgasms, he pulled out and rammed into Mikita.
"AAAAAIIIIIEEEEE! LUFFYYYYY!" The other blonde hollered, her brain short-circuiting from pleasure. But Luffy didn't ignore the other blonde, shoving three fingers into her cunt to keep her entertained.
The other ladies all watched on, growing more hot and bothered as Luffy pistoned into one blonde with his dick while fingerbanging the other. They couldn't see the enraptured look of ecstasy on Luffy's newest lovers, but they could hear their breath hitch and their squeals grow higher and more frantic as they hit orgasm after orgasm.
"Grah, fuck, I'm gonna cum!" Luffy warned, "You two are driving me crazy!"
"Cum in me, Luffy! I want it so BAAAD!"
"No, cum in me! My pussy wants a nice, hot shot of cum!"
"Ladies, there's no need to fight!" Nami giggled, "Luffy's got big enough balls that he'll just paint you both white!"
And indeed, the captain hit his peak before long and both blondes were awash with spurt after spurt of thick, frothy sperm that coated their pussies and asses while he rammed his hands so deep into their cunts that it made them see stars.
Once he was done, both blondes turned and gasped. Luffy was just as hard as when they started! But that was the least of their concerns as both of them found themselves being licked. A pair of hands coated in sticky white gold was placed in front of them.
"Go on, girls, give it a taste," Alvida purred, her tits dangling in front of their eyes, "You'll be drinking this stuff before long…"
Mikita and Honey Queen obeyed, moaning in delight as the flavor hi their tongue. Meanwhile, Desire and Nami were moaning themselves as they licked every drop of gooey deliciousness off of the pair's succulent asses.
That left Kaya, of all people, to give Luffy a blowjob. The younger blonde looked up with adoring eyes as she sucked his cock, as if asking that she was doing it right. The captain just rubbed her head tenderly. "You're doing great, Kaya!"
"Th-Thank you, Luffy… I just didn't want to presume…"
"Don't worry about it, it feels awesome! And if you want to get better, don't be afraid to ask."
The heiress could only smile before wrapping her lips around his erect rod, savoring the flavor and feeling. She couldn't imagine doing this to any other man except Luffy. Strong, yet kind. Rugged, yet with a gentle soul. All the more reason for her to fall in love with him like so many.
They would keep going hours into the night, only ending when all of the girls stumbled back to their hammocks but not before Luffy gave them that goodnight kiss.
Once they were back in their room, Custard asked, "How was it?"
"Better than I imagined…"
"The best I've had in ages!"
(End Sex Scene)
(Days to Reach Kyuka Island: 1)
Makino hummed a little tune to herself as she poured out enough tangerine juice for everybody. She appreciated having the kitchen to herself for a change. Between Carmen, Reiju and Mikita, there was always somebody cooking or baking away.
She stepped out of the galley with a tray full of glasses and couldn't help but feel a bit nostalgic. But instead of her tavern, she walked on the deck of the Going Merry and began handing juice out to her fellow crewmates.
The entirety of the Straw Hats were mingling across the deck, going through the plan for tomorrow. Kyuka Island was going to be intense, a direct confrontation with two of the more notorious Officer Agents. But with each glass she handed out, she couldn't help notice several things.
The smiles on everyone's faces. The serious discussions intermingled with jokes and sarcastic banter. The offers to help each other, like Carmen offering to help Clarisse with her Zoan transformations or Kaya making gem shards that Custard could use as target practice for her exploding cherries.
And, even though they would be arriving on enemy territory tomorrow, there was Luffy simply sitting up on his special seat to admire the open sea. Anyone passing by would assume he was on a pleasure cruise, not going into battle with an underworld gang.
"Fancy a drink, Captain?"
"Oh, thanks!" Luffy drained the glass in one large gulp before sighing, "You nervous about tomorrow?"
"Not too much, with so many friends with us. Do you remember when it was just the two of us?"
"Heh, yeah, can't believe that was only a coupla months ago." They both turned to see Vivi laughing alongside Carina and Moodie, looking infinitely happier than that night on Whiskey Peak a week before.
Both could only smile with Makino falling in line as Luffy gathered everyone together for a group training session. He would run them through everything they had learned, paired them off to train, then the crew would retire early for dinner and bed. The captain would sleep alone that night and planned to wake up at the crack of dawn. He wanted everyone at their best for tomorrow.
