Title: The last game being played (1)
....
I opened my eyes slowly under the shining light.
“Uaam...” Vaporized slowly, I noticed it was morning.
This is the third day of my journey with the Kuja Pirates. It took us three days since we left at night.
Scratching my tight stomach, I got out of bed and walked closer to the bathroom. The bathroom is smaller than the one in my temple, but I think it's okay.
'Amazon Lily is 287 kilometers from here, I can feel it. It'll take a few more hours.' Thinking like that, I took the brush and rubbed it onto my beautiful teeth.
While looking in the mirror, where a naked man was looking at me, I spent my time brushing.
'Sleeping naked is so much fun. If only someone had accompanied that night— had not. Don't do this again.' Breathing out unconsciously. "I've been acting too relaxed lately."
To be honest, my battle with Kaido only served to raise my fighting spirit, nothing more. Or at least not show up.

After dressing myself, I went to the deck where the dining table was prepared for me.
"Ah, young man, you're here." The old woman was sitting on one of the chairs as she greeted me and I nodded in response.
At the table with 5 seats, 4 were already occupied by the old lady, Hancock, and two other Boa sisters.
I walked forward and sat in the seat in the middle, across from Hancock. While looking at me with an indifferent look in her eyes, Boa Hancock was wearing a red kimono that showed her cleavage. It makes me let go of a happy smile.
'Should I...?' A thought crossed my mind. I'm not worried anymore about teasing her, because even if I cross the line, she won't mind.
"Pirate Empress, you look as charming as ever with your arrogant and indifferent appearance." As I said this, Hancock's eyes grew slightly as she avoided eye contact and ignored me.
Of course, this might seem strange after I said I didn't chase him on the first day, but it didn't matter to him. His mind is broken. It's a bit scary how quickly this woman changed her wishes – which is why I took the initiative.
To my surprise, Hancock opened her mouth, "You don't have to be formal with me. Calling me Hancock."
I immediately smiled. 'Perfect.'
Deciding to carefully choose my next words, I used my weak one to search for words. It didn't take more than 3 seconds of silence for my side when I found a few words.
"If you ask, Hancock." It was a simple sentence but I saw the immediate effect as his body trembled slightly. I continued in an informal tone. "Although I was curious, where did you disappear yesterday."
Boa Hancock looks stiff. "I'm not feeling well, so I'm resting in my room."
'Of course.'
I clearly know what's going on. She did feel unwell, it was an early symptom of 'love disease'. However, he had somehow managed to pressure himself not to be crushed. I must admit, it was a strong spirit.
Thinking that this was the perfect opportunity to advance, I stood up with a worried face and walked over to him.
"Are you-"
Before the shocked Boa Hancock could react, I touched her chin and raised it towards my face.
"Indeed, I see some redness on your cheeks. That's not good. If you are sick, you need to see a doctor. Not to brag, but I have pretty good skills in this field." As I continued to speak, Boa Hancock's indifferent face shattered into dust and a red hue appeared on her face.
The other three people had different reactions. The two Boa Sisters looked furious, while the old madam was calm.
The old lady, Gloriosa said, "Ah, yes. He refused to see another doctor, saying it was embarrassing. Maybe you can find what's wrong with him."
I'm nodding. It seemed that Hancock had not told the old grandmother her symptoms. Sadly, things will progress more smoothly like that.
I took my hand off Hancock's cheek as I was about to turn around, "Wait a minute, I'll bring you some medicine—"
However, before I could fully turn around, Hancock snapped.
He aggressively stood up from his seat and glared at me. I put on a 'caught on guard' face when I saw him startled.
"Never touch me without asking again. Being a sea Emperor alone doesn't give you that qualification!" He just turned around and started walking away. While the other two Boa Sisters tried to run towards him, he looked at them. "Don't follow me, I'm losing my appetite."
As the morning sun shone brightly over our heads, the grumpy Boa Hancock left the deck of the ship.
However, my eyes were still fixed on him, while jumping onto his bed and covering his face in embarrassment.

'W-What's wrong with me?!' Boa Hancock thought as her body temperature rose as she lay on her bed.
He covered his forehead with his arms while clenching his heart with his other hand. His face was as red as a tomato as he exhaled hot and heavy breaths.
'Why do I feel like this? Why do I feel pain in my heart when I speak rudely to him?' Boa Hancock felt all her pride crumble. 'He was just another man, so why did I feel pain when I saw the shocked expression on his face?'
Boa Hancock was at the tip of the horn, almost losing herself to the pain in her heart. This is a rumored love sickness, and to be honest, it's really dangerous if one doesn't 'cure it' as soon as possible.
A few minutes passed, a knock fell on the door.
"Sister girl? Are you all right?" It was the voice of Sandersonia, the greedy-haired Boa Sister.
Hancock regained a bit of her wits as she raised her head and looked at the door. 'Sandersonia...?'
"Sister, we have been together forever, through hardship and happiness. You shouldn't hide it from us if you're sick. We don't want to lose you!" The more Sandersonia spoke, the more conscious Hancock became.
'That's correct... I still have to ensure the safety of my sister.' Hancock releases******* weight when the redness on her cheek appears to shrink.
He said, "Sandersonia, I'm fine now. No need to worry anymore. I'll eat my food at night, I just need a little sleep. Is that okay?"
Sandersonia's cheerful voice rang out, "Oh really? Then, rest, brother. I'll come and wake you up at night. Though I think it's most likely that we'll reach Amazon Lily at night. "
He then said, "Then I'll go."
His gradually fading footsteps entered Hancock's ears as he sighed.
He looked at the table in the room and walked over. Of the many things on the table, he took out a bottle of sleeping pills and took a breath.
"I hope this helps me calm down... At least until I reach Amazon Lily.' He opened the lid and put some tablets in his mouth, then took a glass of water and drank it.
Hancock realized she would not be able to withstand the heavy feeling in her chest after reaching Amazon Lily and ensuring the safety of her people. So he's scared... How exactly would he survive then?
From another room on the ship, Amon grinned as he read his thoughts.
«...★...»
It was night. Raki was at the house of the short red-haired Kuja he saved.
"Nm .... Is this really okay?" The red hair's sweet voice rang out as she covered her chest with her hands. "Although I don't mind being naked with my other sisters .. I feel like there's something different about you."
Yes, that woman is completely naked right now. Raki tries to 'teach her' how the bond between two sisters can grow deeper.
"Haha, try not to feel ashamed." Raki laughed as she walked up to him, still in his clothes. "Shame is not a true emotion. In ancient times, people were always naked, there was no shame in shackling their feelings. And that's how it's supposed to be."
Raki slowly raised her hand towards the red head's chest and said with a mischievous smile. "Well, will you help me open—"
Just as Raki was about to finish his sentence, a loud voice flowed through the air.
"!! All of them! The Pirate Empress is back! He's really back!!" It was a demonic fruit from Kuja that allowed him to speak in a very loud voice.
A wrinkle appeared on Raki's face as she retracted her hand.
"We'll continue one day.let's meet the Pirate Empress now." He said in a sad voice and was a little annoyed as he turned around.
Raki walked out of the room while stepping on her path, leaving the confused red-haired Kuja behind.
