19 Chapter 18 (1/2)

As soon as Njiko lifted her hands, all the uprooted tangerine trees slowly got up, like they were alive. Once they were all up, she slammed her hands on the ground. The trees slowly started connecting back to their roots or forming new ones. The scene was magical, the trees moving on their own and Nojiko's nicely developed butt.

Despite doing it so many times with Nami, I still felt slightly horny. I also didn't know what it felt like to have sex and I hadn't seen a naked woman before. After yesterday, my eyes were open to a whole new world, and there was no way I would miss something in front of me like that.

”So, did you like what you saw?” Nojiko turned around and asked me with a smirk.

”It was incredible.” I'm not sure exactly what her powers are just by that display, but I believe it's not a Zoan nor a Logia fruit. It's probably a 'Wood' related Paramecia type, and I was thinking of possible ways to use it when Nojiko startled me.

”Was? I'm pretty confident in my figure, you know.” She winked at me at the end. I nearly stumbled after hearing her, but I kept my cool, despite feeling my cheeks warm up.

”Your ass is fantastic.” I wasn't sure what to say, but the past few days, Nami has been teasing me a lot, so I have gotten slightly better at dealing it, by teasing her back. I'm not sure what got to me this time, but I acted very boldly. I saw Nojiko blush, but she smirked at me again and started laughing.

”Very daring are we now, going after both of us sisters. Aren't you bitting more than you can chew with going after me as well?” She asked me after she finished laughing.

”I probably will be if I was, but I am not going after you. Don't get me wrong, you are beautiful, but Nami is special to me. Since the moment, I saw her I wanted to make her happy. Nami has grown a lot on me, and I wouldn't betray her, no less with her sister.” Nojiko looked pleased by my response, judging by her smile. She looked at me from top to bottom and made her way towards the house. When she was going past me, she slapped my ass.

”Nice ass and I never said anything about betraying.” Nojiko left me there, mulling over what she said. I couldn't help myself and took a peek at her, and she was smirking at me, while she positioned herself, so her but sticks out more. I was embarrassed by her action, so I quickly made my way towards the village. I need to find something to eat to distract myself.

When I got to the village, I found Sanji smoking a cigarette and not doing much. He saw me and made his way towards me.

”Shitty Captain, you better make sure you treat Nami like a princess because if I see her cry, I will personally kill you.” He kicked me the moment we were next to each other with a pissed look.

”Shishi, you don't have to worry about that. I will make sure she is happy.” I told him with a grin.

”Did you wake up so early, so you can tell me that?” He was waiting for me here, but I don't believe it was just for this.

”No, Zeff called to check up on us yesterday and to give us some interesting news. Zeff told me that yesterday a ship from the Asena Kingdom visited the Baratie. That's normally not a surprising thing since the kingdom is not that far from where the sea restaurant usually stays. Once or twice a week, some of the rich families would visit the sea restaurant, but this time they were escorted by two Marine ships, and they were specifically asking if anyone has seen a white-haired woman. The Marines were caring a bounty poster for Aisha with her picture. Her bounty is two million Berri, but only if alive. The marines were a hundred percent sure, that she was there, despite her never leaving the ship and visiting the Baratie. After they were unable to obtain any information, they decided to rest for the night there. I spoke with Zeff again today, and he said they have departed in our direction already.” The situation became a bit more complicated with this, but I am confident we should be able to deal with this. We are still in East Blue, so there shouldn't be something more dangerous than what we already experienced, right?

”No worries, we will deal with them when they come. Since the Marines are already on the way, it would be better if we leave this place now. We don't want to cause trouble for the villagers. We should also talk with Aisha and see what she wants to do. Initially, I wanted to leave her here, but seeing how the Marines are hot on her trail, she would have to stay with us for a bit longer.” Sanji agreed with me, and we both made our way towards the rest of the crew to inform them of our departure. We notified everyone, except Nami, and they all started preparing to leave.

I wanted to speak with Aisha, so I made our way towards the Going Merry. She should be sleeping in the Captains Room. Once I got on the ship, I saw Aisha on the deck watching the sea.

”Good Morning Aisha.” Once I was close enough, I greeted her politely.

”I know it's still early, but we need to talk about your plans for the future. I wanted to stay in Cocoyasi Village for a couple of days and possibly even leave you here if you liked it, but my plans have changed.”She was slightly scared at my statement and didn't dare look at me in the eyes. Since Aisha didn't say anything, I continued speaking.

”Zeff, the owner of the Baratie, contacted us to inform us that a ship from your kingdom and two Marine vessels have been searching for you at the sea restaurant. They were unable to obtain any information, but they are currently on their way here.” At this point, she looked terrified.

”Please don't leave me here, I promise I won't be a burden anymore, and I won't stay in your room all the time. Please don't leave me.” Aisha grabber my shirt with tears in her eyes. Ever since our first conversation, she hasn't spoken more than a few words to me or any of the men from the crew.

”Don't worry we won't abandon you. You are already a friend of ours, and we will never throw our friends to the wolves. The whole crew wishes to help you, that I can guarantee you.” Aisha probably thought that we are abandoning her, I tried reassuring her, but she was still sobbing.

”Don't leave me, please, I don't want to be left alone. I promise I can be useful. I can wash your clothes or clean the deck. Please, take me with you and don't leave me.” She buried her head in my chest while grabbing my shirt. I hugged her and started rubbing her back.

”The crew will be more than happy if you want to join us. I promise you we will always be there to help you, and we will never turn our backs against you.” I saved her from that ship, and I sure as hell won't leave her to be offered as a sacrifice. She continued sobbing for a bit, before calming down.
