East Blue.

Unnamed, Uninhabited Island.

This Island had a special feature. Quite close to its beach, a large forest continued to float within the sea. A large, well-structured wooden house was built in the center of this forest and a bonfire could be seen lit on the beach with the sound of merry laughter echoing.

"Truly, what a day it has been," Nojiko bit onto a rose yet the taste of well-cooked pork greeted her mouth, making her utter a pleased groan through her lips. Others were in the same situation as Carmen had a field trip with the materials that grew on Pinky. While she was called All-Meat due to her circumstances, she grew what she ate. As such, All-Meat, being a chef's best friend, could grow any spices and herbs, too, something Carmen wished to put to good use!

Of course, Brody wanted a Rum Pond, too!

"So? How is it, Carmen? Able to forgive me for lying?" Brody questioned with a sincere smile as Carmen bit onto her food with a grin, "Captain, it's only been days since I got on this crew but I was never angry!" And that grin turned into a devil's glower, "I was outraged!" Then she went back to laughing, "But it's all fine now!"

"I see, now that is out of the way!" Brody narrowed his eyes before suddenly shouting as he unsheathed Tashigi's sword, "Bastard! How dare you kiss my girlfriend?!"

Others blinked before Tashigi, tied and still in her hunger strike, shouted, "Don't use my blade for your selfish needs!"

"Shut up!" Brody pouted and then looked at Carmen, "So? Any last words?"

With her lips twitching, Carmen couldn't help but retort, "I was poisoned and I didn't even know when it started and ended! Everything happened too suddenly!"

"Oh, so that's what happened when I used my devil fruit," Nojiko looked interested.

"Excuses! If you're poisoned, die!"

"What kind of logic is that?"

"Shut up! Nobody touches my girlfriend but me!" While it was clear that Brody was 'joking' given how the duo still hadn't brought the actual culprit, Reiju, to justice since she was still peacefully eating given that all she did was do her job, Nami couldn't help but interject when Alvida claimed— Break a Leg.

"Brody... listen. Before we enter Grandline. We need to discuss the future of our crew."

"Ah," setting the blade on the ground, eliciting a whine from Tashigi since she was too hungry to shout, Brody nodded, "I want a swordsman, musician, a shipwright, an author, a king, a queen, and a—"

"Brody," Nami interjected, "Be serious." Since she was well aware that he had enough maturity and just liked to live with a devil may care attitude, something that become evident today more than aware, she continued, "We deserve to know what you have in mind without an ounce of a lie. If Reiju-san and you are indeed in a relationship then we can come to an understanding that all this flirtation is purely playful, right?"

Sitting down near the flames as the fiery glow flickered over his serious face, Brody remarked quietly, "I... keep my promises. To my mother, I promised this— I'll have at least 100 offspring."

"Why would you promise something like that?" Alvida frowned.

"I was 12 years old at the time," Brody replied.

"And she made such a young child promise that?" Nami frowned while looking toward Reiju, "Did you know that?"

"Well, I know as much as you guys but the rest comes from my own situation, something I wouldn't like to share if possible," Reiju shrugged.

"So... all this is really just harmless—"

"No," shrugging, Brody answered, "It's my promise. It's my burden. If you wanna join then join. If you don't, then when the hell have I ever forced you all? It's not like I'm in a hurry. As promised, I'll live forever so I have no urgency. Truly... you make it sound like it's some super serious decision."

"Isn't it?" Nojiko questioned.

Smirking, Brody stood up and under everyone's confused stare, lowered his pants.

"Hmm~"

"What the hell are you doing?!"

"Um..."

"I'll peel it!"

"Hello, Captain~!"

"It's shameful behavior!"

Yet, they came to a conclusion. It looked dense... and certainly girthy.

"All of you look at it carefully!" Brody grinned broadly, "Do it through the gaps of your fingers if you must! Now you know what it looks like! See? Not a hard decision. If you're in, you're in! But unlike my father, I don't intend to run off to find All-Milk so that's that. Truly," pulling his pants up, Brody muttered, "You guys are saying as if I don't understand the charm of an all-women crew."

"Do you?" Nami inquired after a brief moment of silence.

Deadpanning at her, Brody scowled, "Hey, just because your tits aren't worthy of gawking doesn't mean I don't like tits!"

"I'll kill you, bastard!" Nami hissed and picked up Tashigi's katana!

"My... sword..." The marine grew tearful.

"I think she meant, you invited Sanji and others, too," Nojiko smiled and shook her head.

"Oh, that? I wanted a different ship full of men so that they can admire my glory when I'm with women!" Brody grinned.

"That's evil," Alvida smirked, "I love it!"

"Here, no need to go hungry over some pride," Carmen picked a mushroom and stuffed it against Tashigi's mouth as she struggled to spit it out but the next second, she grew silent and then inhaled it whole!

"Wait... so your advances? What did that mean? All that spooning that heals?" Nami blinked.

"Well, you think I'd not want every one of you? Man, you're an idiot, right?" Giving Nami a condescending stare which was simply ironic given his earlier words, Brody continued, "But spooning increases the pace of healing. Reiju told me."

"Oh," Calmly sipped on her tea, "I lied."

"Ehhhhhh?" Brody looked hurt and betrayed.

"What? I just love it when you curl around me..." Reiju spoke with an innocent tone before smiling.

"So... you're alright with it?" Carmen looked confused.

Revealing a deeply exhausted expression, Reiju's smile grew the one of untold addictive 'misery', "You'll be, too."

"I don't know what happened but I'm scared..." Nami whispered.

"So... hypothetically," Nojiko cleared her throat, "If I were to sleep with you..."

"You'll be mine," Brody nodded.

"What about Reiju?" Nojiko inquired.

"Still mine." Brody blinked.

"Wait, if Reiju kisses me, what happens now?" Carmen inquired.

Putting on a smile as if a child taking ice cream, the devil revealed his 'purest' debauched and greedy thoughts, "Mine?"

Tashigi's lips parted. She always thought that Brody rejected that notion with her while implying his desire for his crewmate to cover the fact that he was afraid of marines. But he wasn't afraid...

He just didn't find her attractive.

And it hurt. But not as much as her blade touching the sand without any protection!

"Sheathe my sword at once!"

"Ah, sorry," Nami smiled.

"See? Idiot. Everyone knows to treat a sword gently," Brody lay back on the sand.

"Sigh... whatever, I'm too tired and want to sleep." Sheathing the sword, Nami walked over to Brody and lay next to him before giving him a look that prompted him to curl behind her as she turned to look at Reiju mischievously only to find her leaning back on the chair and sleeping soundly, too, in a matter of seconds.

"Good night..." Brody yawned and others sighed weakly, "Yeah..." before laying back on the ground, too.

"So... I'm to stay tied?" Tashigi whispered as the fire was waning and she tried to move but when she saw a pair of red eyes glowing from under the shell facing her, Tashigi's breathing hitched up before she continued to remain silent and eventually fell asleep.

"This is all we could do without an actual shipwright. We still don't have a lot of facilities but it should do," Reiju stood next to Brody as he gazed at Pinky with a satisfied smirk. The 'hut' had been upgraded be it in terms of size or look. But as Reiju said, they had their own specialties which did not include actual mechanic work and ingenuity to equip Pinky with some serious-level of better technological items that would improve the quality of their lives.

Soon, Pinky set 'sail'. In fact, they wanted to actually erect a mast and a sail over Pinky to increase her speed even further but all of this... would be taken care of at Grandline.

One thing that did decorate the house with a tall pole was a flag with a Jolly Roger drawn over it. Instead of the usual skull mark, it had two giant red eyes placed at a rather considerable distance. In fact, the shape of the 'eyes' was too peculiar as if Brody had seen these very eyes before. Not only that, underneath the eyes was a wide, edged-out smile. It resembled a devil's face but... it clearly wasn't that.

Yet, anyone in their right mind would realize that this wasn't a trader's ship.

Finally, Brody christened the edge of Pinky's shell with— Meat Heaven. Their ship on top of her.

And as they neared Grandline, a pelican flew over to Pinky, and before she could bite it to taste it, Brody smacked her jaws shut before eagerly paying for the newspaper.

"Oh? Luffy," Kaku called out while enjoying tea as the Straw Hat's ship, Going Merry, continued on a peaceful route, "Isn't Brody your friend? There's news on him."

"Already?" Luffy's head hung down from the top of the crow's nest as Sanji, Zoro, and Usopp gathered around.

Reading through it with a strange expression, Kaku commented, "Brody Hanma defeated Commodore Smoker and escaped the encirclement of an entire marine branch. Not only that, he is in possession of the Feasts of World Nobles. Yet, Brody outdid himself by managing to beguile many women, of them, some have betrayed their very origins..." Kaku moved to the next page and blinked, "This is their new bounty."

The sight of which made Sanji's and Zoro's expressions strange.

---

"W-what are you planning?" Tashigi hissed as under everyone's stunned expression, Brody untied their 'captive' before smiling, "You made it. As your captain, I'm proud of you!"

"What?" Tashigi frowned defensively as Brody handed her a page of the newspaper which she held and began to read with a huff, "Of many women 'Ruin' Hanma has beguiled... one of them is Tashigi, a former marine, who now sides with Brody Hanma? What?!"

Tashigi's forehead was quickly matted with cold sweat while she gazed at the newspaper with shock!

"Men, we got new bounties even before we entered Grandline!"

Brody announced as Tashigi collapsed on her knees while Reiju had the honor to announce them.

"Hmm, let's see. Starting from the lowest.

All-Meat Sea King. Only Alive— 1,000,000 B.

Nojiko. Dead or Alive— 1,500,000 B.

Tashigi. Dead or Alive— 5,000,000 B.

'Iron Mace' Alvida. Dead or Alive— 20,000,000 B.

'Poison Pink' Vinsmoke Reiju. Only Alive— 70,000,000 B.

Brody 'Ruin' Hanma. Dead or Alive— 99,000,000 B.

Alvida grunted, "Why the hell do I have less bounty than you... although, they really increased my bounty by 15,000,000..."

"Well, Vice-Captain, work hard," Reiju smiled and drank her coffee calmly.

"Nami~ I got a bounty! It's so exciting!" Nojiko beamed brightly, truly nowhere close to her calm persona.

Meanwhile, as if kissed by death, Tashigi stayed on her knees for hours to come.
