Title: Final game at play (1)

....

I opened my eyes slowly under the radiant light.

"Uaam..." Yawning slowly, I noticed it was already morning.

This is the third day of my journey with the Kuja Pirates. It took us three days since we left in the evening.

Scratching my tight abs, I got up from the bed and walked closer to the bathroom. The bathroom is smaller than the one in my Shrine, but it's fine I guess.

'Amazon Lily is 287 kilometers from here, I can sense it. It will take a few more hours.' Thinking such, I picked up the brush and rubbed it against my beautiful teeth.

While staring at the mirror, where a naked man was staring at me, I spent my time brushing.

'Sleeping naked feels surprisingly good. If only there was someone to accompany the night— no. Not this again.' A sigh escaped involuntarily. 'I am acting too laid back these days.'

To be frank, my fight with Kaido only served to boost my fighting spirit, nothing more. Or at least it's not showing yet.

After dressing myself, I went to the deck where a dining table was prepared for me.

"Ah, young man, you are here." The old lady was sitting in one of the chairs as she greeted me and I nodded in response.

In the table with 5 chairs, 4 were already occupied by the old lady, Hancock, and the two other Boa sisters.

I walked forward and sat on the chair in the middle, opposite Hancock. While staring at me with an indifferent look in her eyes, Boa Hancock was wearing a red kimono that was showing her cleavage. This made me release a blissful smile.

'Should I...?' A thought crossed my mind. I wasn't worried about flirting with her anymore, because even if I cross the line, she won't mind it.

"Pirate Empress, you are looking as charming as ever with that arrogant and indifferent look of yours." As I said this, Hancock's eyes grew ever so slightly as she avoided eye contact and ignored me.

Of course, this might seem strange after I said I wasn't after her on the first day, but it didn't matter to her. Her mind's already corrupted. Kind of scary how fast this woman changes her desires – which is why I am taking the initiative.

Surprising me, Hancock opened her mouth, "You... don't need to act formally with me. Calling me Hancock... is fine."

I smiled immediately. 'Perfect.'

Deciding to carefully choose my next words, I used my weak <Future Sight> to look for words. It didn't take more than 3 seconds of silence for my side as I found some words.

"If you ask, Hancock." It was a simple line but I saw the immediate effect of it as her body shook ever so slightly. I continued in an informal tone. "Though I am curious, where did you vanish yesterday."

Boa Hancock stiffened visibly. "I-I was feeling unwell, so I was taking a rest in my room."

'Of course.'

I obviously knew what happened. She was indeed feeling unwell, it was the early symptom of 'love sickness'. Yet, she somehow managed to suppress herself to not break down. I have to admit, that's a strong spirit.

Thinking that this was the perfect opportunity to progress forward, I stood up with a worried face and walked closer to her.

"What are you-"

Before the surprised Boa Hancock could react, I touched her chin and raised it towards my face.

"Indeed, I see some redness in your cheeks. That's not good. If you are sick, you need to see a doctor. Not to brag, but I have quite good skill in this field." As I kept talking Boa Hancock's indifferent face crumbled to dust and a blush appeared on her face.

The other three people had different reactions. The two Boa Sisters seemed infuriated, while the old Lady was calm.

The old lady, Gloriosa said, "Ah, yes. She refused to see any other doctors, saying it was embarrassing. Perhaps you can find what's wrong with her.'

I nodded. It seems Hancock hasn't told her symptoms to the old granny yet. Sad, things would have progressed much smoothly that way.

I removed my hands from Hancock's cheeks as I was about to turn around, "Wait for a second, I will bring some medicines—"

"That's enough!"

However, before I could fully turn around, Hancock snapped.

She aggressively stood up from her seat and glared at me. I made a 'caught-of guard' face as I looked at her surprised.

"Never touch me without asking, ever again. Just being an Emperor of the sea doesn't give you that qualification!" She simply turned around and started to walk away. While the other two Boa Sisters tried to run to her, she shot them a look. "Don't follow me, I lost my appetite."

As the morning sun shined brightly above our heads, a grumpy Boa Hancock left the ship's deck.

However, my eyes were still on her, while jumped in her bed and covered her face shamefully.

«...★...»

– General Pov –

'W-what's wrong with me?!' Boa Hancock thought as her body temperature rose while she was laying on her bed.

She was covering her forehead with her forearm while clenching her heart with her other hand. Her face was as red as a tomato as she breathed hot and heavy breaths.

'Why do I feel like this? Why did I feel pain in my heart when I talked harshly to him?' Boa Hancock felt all her pride crumbling. 'He is just another man, so why did I feel pain when I saw that shocked look on his face?'

Boa Hancock was at the edge, almost losing herself to the pain in her heart. This was the rumored lovesickness, and frankly, it really was dangerous if one doesn't 'cure' it as soon as possible.

As a few minutes passed, a knock fell on the door.

"Big sister? Are you alright?" It was the voice of Sandersonia, the greed-haired Boa Sister.

Hancock regained a bit of her almost-lost sense as she raised her head and looked at the door. 'Sandersonia...?'

"Sister, we have been together forever, through hardships and bliss. You shouldn't hide it from us if you are sick. We don't want to lose you!" The more Sandersonia talked, the more Hancock regained her senses.

'That's right... I still have to ensure my sisters' people's safety.' Hancock released a heavy sigh as the redness in her cheeks shrunk visibly.

She said, "Sandersonia, I am fine now. No need to worry anymore. I will eat my food at night, I just need a little bit of sleep. Is that fine?"

The cheerful voice of Sandersonia sounded out, "Oh really? Then please rest, big sister. I will come and wake you up at night. Though I think we would most likely reach Amazon Lily by evening... anyway, take a rest."

She then said, "Then I will be going."

Her gradually fading footsteps entered Hancock's ears as she sighed.

She looked at the desk in the room and walked closer. From the many things on the desk, she picked up a bottle of sleeping tablets and took a breath.

"I hope this helps me calm down... At least until I reach the Amazon Lily.' She opened the cap and put a few tablets in her mouth, next grabbing a glass of water and drinking it.

Hancock was aware she wouldn't be able to suppress this heavy feeling in her chest after reaching Amazon Lily and ensuring her people's safety. So she was scared... How exactly will she get by then?

From another room of the ship, Amon smirked as he read her mind.

«...★...»

It was evening. Raki was in the house of a short red-haired Kuja that she saved.

"Um.... Is this really alright?" The sweet voice of the redhead sounded out as she covered her chest with her hand. "Although I don't mind being naked with my other sisters... I feel like there is something different about you."

Yes, the woman was completely naked now. Raki was trying to 'teach' her how bonds between two sisters can grow deeper.

"Haha, try not to feel embarrassed." Raki laughed as she walked closer to her, still in her clothes. "Embarrassment is not a true emotion. In ancient times, people were always naked, there was no embarrassment to shackle down their feelings. And that's how it should be."

Raki slowly raised her hand towards the red head's chest and said with a cheeky smile. "Now then, will you help me undres—"

As Raki was about to finish her line, a loud voice flowed within the air.

"!!Everyone! The Pirate Empress is back! She really is back!!" It was the devil fruit of a Kuja that lets her talk in a really loud voice.

A frown appeared on Raki's face as she drew back her hand.

"We will continue it... some other day... let's meet the Pirate Empress now." She said in a dejected and slightly annoyed voice as she turned around.

Raki walked out of the room while stomping on her path, leaving a confused redhead Kuja behind.
