Chapter 124: Wrapping Up
-Lemon Starts Here-
Robin moaned as Luffy sank into her depths, her back pressed against a random tree near the Alliance Dock. Her moans redoubled a moment later as his mouth found a nipple, one of his hands holding her up by a leg wrapped around his waist, even as the other held her wrists above her head, pinned to the tree. She whimpered as he failed to immediately move, instinctively grinding against him to try and quench the fire burning in her dripping sex.
The arousal effect of the pools had been subtle…at first. The longer they’d stayed in them to soak, the more obvious it had become, until a very flushed Hancock had bid them a good evening and hurried off. Telling to just how aroused Hancock had become, she hadn’t even bothered to escort them back. Of course, tellingly to how aroused they’d become, they hadn’t made it all the way back to the ship themselves. As soon as they’d come within sight of the Dock, Luffy had been all over her, and Robin hadn’t had any desire to resist.
He’d ripped her soaked thong off, practically shoving his tongue down her throat as he did, before pinning her to the tree, and she had no idea how he had the willpower not to start immediately thrusting. Thankfully for her sanity, he didn’t manage to hold out long, using his hands to keep her properly penned, even as he finally pulled almost entirely out…then slammed home hard, all the way to the hilt. Robin couldn’t help it, crying out as she came hard just from that single thrust, more lewd noises spilling out as he didn’t stop. Her lover hammered her through one orgasm and straight into another, without any sign of him cumming himself just yet.
Vaguely, she wondered if she was going to be able to walk the next morning. It was her last coherent thought before her third orgasm ripped anything but the all-consuming pleasure from her mind…
… … …
Hancock was only barely able to keep her own voice down as she watched Nico Robin hammered hard against a tree. Unlike most Kuja, she was a little too aware what went on between man and woman. But, for the first time she could remember, she wished it was her on the other end of that cock. Something not helped by the fact she had three fingers buried in her own pussy, roughly thrusting in time with the motion of Luffy’s hips, trying to stifle her moans so as not to give herself away. She had no idea if the Captain had enough focus remaining to have felt her following them, though she was confident Robin didn’t, the woman having been obviously and visibly even more affected by the pools than Hancock herself had been.
Which, given how she’d followed them, and was currently furiously masturbating to the sight of Luffy ravaging his lover, wasn’t to say Hancock had been unaffected. It had started subtly enough, but she’d quickly realized that the more aroused she became, the faster and more completely it had taken hold. Though she legitimately wasn’t sure just where the effects of the water ended and her own…appreciation…of both her companions began. She’d been far from unaware what could happen when she’d chosen to invite them for a dip and, at least in this exact moment, she almost wished she’d stayed longer to see if it would have overcome them all.
Almost.
While she was interested in the Captain in a way she’d never thought she could be in a man, she didn’t think she was quite ready for that. Even if the waters would have prevented certain complications, she was self-aware enough of her own traumas to know not to rush. Yet, she was certain she wanted to make the effort, after getting to know the Captain Luffy. The fact that he had multiple lovers, none of whom Hancock would mind having in her bed, was only the ‘cherry on top,’ as it were. Robin was almost as gorgeous as she was, if in a different way, and the other three were exactly the sorts that Hancock normally drew into her bed. Submissives by nature or choice.
The fact that she actually wanted to be in exactly Robin’s position, penned and helpless under Luffy as he ravaged her, was very new for more reasons than just his gender. She bit a knuckle to keep from crying out as visions of other things they could do swarm through her head, and she came harder than she ever had in her life! She’d done most of those things to other women, at some point or another, but she’d never imagined herself in those positions. Tied up in silk ropes, or bent over and sucking on…
It would only be as she looked back on the night in the morning, that Hancock became rather sure that she was experiencing the early stages of Love Sickness. Somehow, even when she realized it, she didn’t find herself with any desire to fight the fact at all. Not even knowing now that there was most likely a way to manage it.
-Lemon Ends Here-
… … …
“Well, that’s fucking hot, we should totally seduce her!”
Luffy rolled his eyes at the predictable response from Nami. Out of all his lovers, she was by far the horniest and most eager to add additional women to their bed. Short of an actual personality conflict, which had shown no signs of being present between Nami and Hancock, he’d already been sure what she would say about the idea that Hancock might be interested. At least in Luffy, and possibly in the others. Lesbian relationships were the norm on Amazon Lily, after all, and he’d seen the way Hancock’s eyes lingered just as much on Robin as on him.
It was Robin herself that spoke up next. She’d added her own perspective on the encounter in the ‘enchanted baths,’ but hadn’t yet voiced an actual opinion one way or another. He was grateful she chose to speak up now, as she was actually the closest thing to ‘vanilla’ in tastes of any of the girls. Not entirely, having a strong voyeuristic streak among other things. But between being the one with the closest to ‘normal’ tastes and being the one with the most trust issues, she was by far the most likely to have an issue with the idea.
“I have to admit, I find Hancock quite attractive. If she’s truly serious, it might also serve to tie her more firmly and permanently to us as an ally.”
An extremely pragmatic view…which he could tell wasn’t entirely honest. Not from how much Robin’s arousal was spiking as she talked about the idea. He’d pulled up the visual indicators he rarely used for his System these days, just for this conversation, and to say Robin’s telltales indicated interest was a bit of an understatement. Clearly, she found Hancock more than just ‘quite attractive,’ which was understandable. Hancock was considered the ‘most beautiful woman in the world’ for good reason, after all. Luffy also suspected that the Kuja attitudes about nudity did more than a little for Robin’s voyeuristic streak, for that matter. Though he was hardly going to call her out on that. After all, it admittedly did something for him too.
Vivi was the next to speak, after a few long moments of pause.
“Robin isn’t wrong, though I don’t think that’s the best basis for adding someone to our…arrangement. That said, Hancock and I have gotten along quite well, particularly as we’ve worked together to mentor Princess Shirahoshi. I’m not against at least exploring the possibility.”
Well, that covered the two most likely to have any sort of issue. Everyone turned their gaze to Yamato, even if they could pretty much already guess what her view would be. Something proven when she smiled brightly.
“The fact that the Pirate Empress wants you too, is just more proof that you’re as manly as Kouzuki Oden was! It should only be expected that the most beautiful woman in the world should join you! I’m sure she’ll make for a fantastic concubine!”
Luffy winced at that final word, noting that he was going to need to have a talk with Yamato about never again suggesting that was what Hancock was. There was no possible way it would end well for anyone, given her past. Still, the answer had been pretty much exactly as expected. Yamato’s view of her role and the world in general was tinted heavily by her admiration of Oden. Since Oden had possessed a harem of willing women, obviously Luffy, who she thought of as her liege, would need one as well.
Shaking his head, he ruefully admitted to himself that he wasn’t too surprised by the result of this little talk. Vivi was a natural submissive from a culture where harems were common for the upper class, Nami was a pervert, and Yamato clearly considered powerful women being attracted to him as only natural. To be honest, the only one he’d been unsure about was Robin, and the way she’d gone along with the little bath adventure so easily had been a fairly strong signal there too.
“Alright. Well, we know where we stand. If, and only if, Hancock seems to be serious about it, then we’ll give it a chance. At least, so long as she understands she’s getting into a package deal with the whole group. Agreed?”
There were nods all around, and a cheer from Nami. Luffy rolled his eyes, but let his lips twitch into a smile as Nami immediately launched into ideas about how to best seduce the Pirate Empress. Apparently, she’d really enjoyed the whole seducing-Robin thing when they’d done that…
… … …
Luffy looked on with fond, if mildly exasperated, amusement, as Nami flirted with Hancock. They’d all agreed to take it slow with the Empress, testing the waters as they went. Which didn’t at all prohibit Nami from deciding to make it clear that some of them were interested, even dragging a very red-faced and mildly tipsy Vivi into it at one point. Thankfully, Hancock only seemed amused herself, even if the way her eyes had openly raked both Nami and Vivi’s bodies had certainly told Luffy she wasn’t exactly opposed to the flirting.
Though, of course, the reason Luffy was amused was due to how mixed the success of Nami’s endeavor was. Normally a Mistress of the Flirting Arts, half or more of her attempts were bouncing off the cultural differences, going completely over Hancock’s notice. The Kuja lacked body modesty to an extent that Hancock barely noticed the suggestive wardrobe Nami was using, just as one example, and the Kuja were far more…’social touchers,’ if that was a phrase that made sense. Making little gestures of touch that would have been intimate to most people seem entirely normal to most of the Kuja. Other efforts, of course, still landed. Certain types of compliments, or leading innuendos. At least a few of which had gotten Hancock to flush.
Honestly, watching Nami’s attempt was good entertainment as he sat a bit apart from the beach party that was going on all over the Alliance Dock and the beach around it. This was to be their last night on Amazon Lily for the Joint Training that had been arranged, and most of the Kuja had flooded the area to celebrate their ‘new friends.’ The crew had connected quite well with the tribe as a whole, by virtue of being both interestingly different, and Strong.
The latter was important to the Kuja society, and all of the Strawhat crew qualified at this point. Chopper and Perona were the two weakest members of the crew, and both were still above average for the normal Kuja. Enough so that they would have been at least considered for the Kuja Pirates. Chopper, of course, also had the inherent advantage of being ‘cute.’ Meanwhile, Perona had legitimately found herself with a bit of a following as one of the only members of the crew that could talk ‘fashion’ with the locals. They weren’t a huge fan of Perona’s personal style, but it turned out the goth-ghost girl legitimately had a solid grasp of fashion in general. Nami was perhaps the only one on the crew more knowledgeable, and many of the Kuja shied away from her due to her status as an ‘Officer’ of his crew.
Of course, that status didn’t quite match with how most pirate or Marine crews treated Officers. The Discovery of Storms had always had a low crew requirement, and Dis becoming aware had reduced that even farther. In reality, the only members of the crew whose Officer status really mattered much these days were Luffy, Kuina, Nami, and Nojiko. Since ‘officers’ tended to be the more powerful members of pirate and Marine crews, the fact that Yamato and Zoro barely had anything like official positions was unusual to say the least. Still, the fact that Nami was nominally the third in command for the entire crew, behind only Luffy as Captain and Kuina as First Mate, made many of the normal Kuja a bit reluctant to approach her. Which meant the local, growing, fashion cult had glommed onto a rather surprised Perona as their source for all things ‘outsider fashion.’
Robin, who had been hovering around the edges of the party herself, watching more than participating, found her way to him and sat on the log he’d turned into a bench. She’d brought a new drink for him with her, and he smiled in thanks as she settled in next to him, both of them watching the rest of the mixed group mingle. Eventually, she hummed, leaning into him as she spoke, with Luffy automatically resting an arm around her waist.
“This was a good idea, it seems. Our crew and the Kuja have formed surprisingly firm bonds, given how insular the Kuja have traditionally been.”
Luffy nodded, sipping the mead that he’d been surprised to discover was a local staple. It was the first time he’d found it in this life, having barely encountered it in his first, and he’d quickly decided it was his new favorite alcohol. He’d never quite understood drinking just to drink, and found most alcohols off putting for their harsh taste as a result. Mead was quite smooth and tasty in comparison, with the local version still being quite a bit stronger than typical beers or ales. Unsurprising, given Kuja constitutions.
“Yes, I have to admit I didn’t expect it to go quite so smoothly, even if they were largely friendly before. I believe Vivi achieved far more than even she realized here, long-term. Not only will these people be extremely good allies to us, but the Alliance she forged is going to be nearly impossible for the Marines to break without doing as much or more damage to themselves as the Whitebeard War did. Which, given how they’ve been forced to practically retreat from the New World and half of Paradise while recovering, isn’t something they’ll be eager to accept again.”
Robin nodded, practically oozing satisfaction at his observation. While she’d never been actively trying to bring down the World Government, she certainly took a certain schadenfreude in their troubles. As did most of the rest of their crew for that matter, even Hina.
“And Hancock’s offer to be a regular sparring partner? As well as have specifically you and certain other members of the crew visit as often as we want to ‘use the baths.’ Quite an interesting selection of people she made the offer for~.”
Luffy chuckled at that. Nami hadn’t been around for it, or she might not be trying to signal her interest quite so hard. Particularly given how much Hancock was blushing when she’d made the offer for ‘sparring and use of the blessed baths.’ An offer that pointedly extended to Luffy as ‘the only male worthy of escorting me’…along with Robin, Nami, Vivi, and Yamato. None of them had ever made an attempt to conceal their relationship, at least from allies, so the list was rather telling.
“It will certainly be interesting, won’t it? I admit I’m quite curious to see what the effect of the bath will be on Nami and Vivi in particular. One doesn’t seem to have an off switch for ‘horny’ half the time, and the other turns such delightful colors when she starts getting worked up.”
Robin’s laugh, when you could get it out of her in full instead of just chuckles, was delightfully musical. Luffy was pleased to get it out of her now, even as she snuggled in closer to him.
“You really should stop teasing the poor girl. Though her eighteenth is close, isn’t it? I don’t quite get why you felt that was important, but I do suspect you’ll give her an entertaining…breaking in. I’m certainly looking forward to when you bring her to the rest of us, too. You are right about just how fun the colors she turns are~.”
Luffy chuckled again, even as he flushed at how husky Robin’s voice got at the end. Something told him that he was going to have an interesting time in the shared Captain’s Cabin tonight. He was once again grateful that Dis had expanded and farther sound-proofed for them, given the number of people now regularly sleeping in his bed…
