Walking to the room on the top floor of the hotel, Andy gently pushed open the door and stepped inside first.
His gaze quickly swept across every corner of the room; the furniture was neatly arranged, the bed was as clean as new, and the air was filled with a faint scent of disinfectant.
Andy nodded with satisfaction, a subtle smile playing on his lips.
"Andy, get my clothes out, I want to wash them first…" Kalifa had quietly approached Andy, her head slightly tilted up, her face bearing its usual calm expression.
"Why don't we wash together? That way we can save water." Andy blinked his innocent eyes, his face full of seriousness, staring intently at Kalifa.
"No way~! You unreasonable fellow, hurry up, I want to take a bath." Kalifa refused Andy's suggestion without hesitation, her brows slightly furrowed, a hint of playful annoyance on her face, her tone firm and undeniable.
"That's truly a shame." Andy showed obvious regret, letting out a soft sigh, "Here, I don't know which set you want to wear later, so find it yourself."
With that, he gently flicked his wrist, and a spatial ripple appeared, bringing Kalifa's luggage onto the floor.
Opening the suitcase, besides various dresses and underwear, it was mostly filled with colorful stockings and pairs of high heels, each one polished to a shine, reflecting a faint glow.
Kalifa squatted down, rummaging through the suitcase, and soon pulled out a long black silk slip nightgown, several bottles of beautifully packaged bath products, and a pair of black high-heeled slippers.
She stood up, turned, and quickly walked into the bathroom, her figure swaying gracefully, her high heels clicking crisply against the floor.
Watching Kalifa's retreating figure, Andy gently sat on the soft sofa, leaned back, and let out a long sigh: "As a secretary, her ability, figure, and appearance are all top-notch, it's just that sometimes she's a bit irritable, a bit of a natural airhead, and her eyesight isn't very good."
As Kalifa reached the bathroom door, her steps abruptly halted upon hearing Andy's words, and a blush instantly spread across her face.
She bit her lip tightly, then quickened her pace into the bathroom, slamming the door shut. She was afraid that if she listened any longer, she would lose her temper again.
Andy comfortably lay down on the soft sofa, closed his eyes, and his Observation Haki instantly spread out like a tide, making him aware of every movement around him.
He slightly tilted his head, looking at the Log Pose on his wrist, which was slowly rotating, indicating an extremely slow rate of magnetic charge storage.
It seemed that to store enough magnetic force to reach the next island, it might indeed take at least 10 days, just as Kalifa had said.
Andy pondered his next plan for a while, just then, the bathroom door slowly opened, and Kalifa emerged wearing a black slip nightgown.
Her golden long hair was wet, with a few strands clinging to her fair cheeks, adding a touch of allure.
She was holding her changed clothes.
"Andy, your gaze is sexually harassing me." Kalifa's brows slightly furrowed, and she said in a flat tone, then walked towards the laundry area with her clothes.
"Appearing in front of me dressed so provocatively, I wonder who's really doing the sexual harassment." Andy muttered softly.
Though his voice was low, Kalifa still heard it, and her steps paused again, the blush on her face deepening.
After speaking, Andy got up and walked into the bathroom.
When Andy came out of the bath, Kalifa had already changed out of her nightgown.
Now, she wore a yellow stand-collar top, its collar slightly open, revealing just the right amount of fair skin. A black hip-hugging mini-skirt tightly embraced her hips, perfectly outlining her figure, paired with black over-the-knee high-heeled boots, making her appear even taller.
Her hair was now dry, and this time she had styled it into an updo, revealing her slender neck, exuding a mature, older sister-like aura.
The moment Andy saw her, his heart skipped a beat.
"Cough, cough… Let's go, Kalifa, we'll go to the bar to eat something first, then look at the next plan." Andy coughed twice, averted his gaze, then put Kalifa's luggage into his spatial storage, and turned to walk towards the door.
Kalifa immediately followed, her high heels making crisp, pleasant "tap-tap-tap" sounds on the clean floor, like a beautiful melody accompanying their steps as they walked out the door.

Walking on the somewhat chaotic streets, Andy and Kalifa's freshly cleaned appearance seemed a bit out of place with everything around them.
News of the Blood Hand Pirates being wiped out had already spread, and some people recognized Demon Blade Zhu Chi, so the people here already knew that Red Hawk was the one who took action!
Now, wherever Andy and Kalifa walked, the people here avoided them like the plague, fearing to provoke this terrifying great pirate.
"Kalifa, the shipbuilding company you mentioned applying to, you must be talking about the Galley-La Company in Seven Water City, right?" Andy asked as they walked.
Kalifa was startled for a moment, but quickly regained her composure. She raised a hand to adjust her glasses and asked in confusion, "Andy, how did you know? Do you also have intelligence channels within the World Government?"
Andy didn't answer the question, but continued, "You must be very familiar with the current forces in Chronos Forest, right? Introduce them to me."
"Okay." Kalifa nodded, "Due to certain reasons, the forces on Chronos Forest are now divided into three factions. These three are the only remaining shipyards on the island.
It's just that because fewer and fewer people are coming here to place orders, these three shipbuilding companies are on the verge of bankruptcy.
Lucci and my missions are different; their mission is to find a precious type of wood, while my mission is to acquire these three shipyards for the Galley-La Company.
This is also one of the conditions proposed by President Iceburg; only by completing these two things will President Iceburg accept our application."
"Oh~" Andy nodded, his voice drawn out, a meaningful expression on his face.
Suddenly, he stopped walking and looked at Kalifa beside him, a thoughtful look on his face.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I'm wearing?" Kalifa saw the look on Andy's face, and her round, delicate forehead furrowed slightly.
"Nothing, what you're wearing looks great. I just feel like something's missing." He said softly.
Then he resumed his steps and walked towards the bar.
"Something's missing?" Kalifa was momentarily stunned. She looked down at herself and didn't feel like anything was missing.
What was this pervert talking about?
Andy, walking ahead, thought to himself, should he have Spandam send over the Bubble Fruit? Kalifa with the Bubble Fruit seems complete.
And she loves taking baths and always wants to keep her skin smooth, so she should really like the Bubble Fruit.
