One Piece: Grand Harem Adventures

Ben stepped out of the shower. The steam was curling off his skin as he toweled his hair roughly. The warm water felt good. He thought back to the last night where he made love with Carina and had an intense session with Belo Betty. It was then followed up in the morning with Maya. He thought today he was going to train. He pulled on loose training shorts.

Ben walked to the deck of the Miss Love Duck. He could see the morning sun. The sea glittered like scattered diamonds. Ben stretched his arms high overhead until his back popped satisfyingly. He exhaled. He thought the girls had been learning the Six Power techniques and they had been mastering them very well. They were making significant progress.

Ben smiled. He thought as their Captain, he should not be falling behind.

At that moment, Ben heard a soft melody. He thought it was the voice of an angel. He looked around and saw Uta appeared from the starboard side. She was dressed in a sleek gym outfit. She had a red sports bra with silver accents and matching high-waisted shorts that hugged her curves, and lightweight sneakers. Her long hair was tied back in a high ponytail. It swayed as she walked.

Ben's lips curved. "You look beautiful, Uta,” Ben said. He thought she looked stunning, like a goddess. She had a confident smile.

Uta stopped. Her cheeks went slightly red but her smile was bright and genuine. "Thank you, Ben," she said. She looked at Ben who was topless. She saw his core was impeccably defined. His abs were sculpted into a perfect six-pack. He had a broad, muscular chest. She licked her lips. She thought he looked handsome.

She then shook her head. “Thank you for letting me join you,” Uta said.

“The honour is all mine,” Ben responded. “I am glad you are with me,” he added as he looked at her long legs. She had a thin waist.

“Is there something on me?” Uta asked as she saw him looking at her body.

“Just admiring your beauty," Ben responded with a smile.

Uta smiled back. “Admire all the way,” Uta said as she took a step forward. "What are you planning today?" she asked.

"Training," he replied simply. "I'm going to learn Shave,” Ben added with a smile on his face. “Everyone else seems to be mastering it so I need to catch up," he said.

Uta's brows lifted. "That's one of the Six Powers techniques which Kalifa explained,” Uta responded. “I have been trying to do it, however it's not easy,” she added.

“They are not meant to be easy,” Ben responded. “They take years to master for some people,” he added.

“But everyone else seems to have learned it on their first go,” Uta replied. “So I thought I could as well,” she added.

“Everyone is different,” Ben responded. “We will learn at our own pace,” he added.

Perona then drifted down. She had her arms crossed and had a pouty expression. She wore a pink cropped hoodie which showed her cleavage and matching booty shorts. Her shorts had a small ghost picture. Her pink hair was tied in twin tails.

"I'm breaking my back trying to learn this stupid thing," Perona complained. "But I'm not making any progress at all. It's like my body refuses to cooperate," she added.

“That is a nice outfit, it suits you well,” Ben responded.

“Focus on the main topic,” Perona remarked as she floated towards him.

Ben looked at her cleavage. “I am,” Ben teased.

Perona scoffed. She thought he was impossible.

Ben chuckled. “Like I was saying to Uta, everyone learns at their own pace,” Ben said. “Some learn quicker while others a bit slower, everyone is different and unique,” he added.

“I know but with everyone making progress, I just feel a little left behind,” Perona remarked.

Ben reached out and grabbed Perona and hugged. “Dont be, I like you the way you are,” Ben said. He felt her large breasts on his chest.

“Get off me,” Perona said as she floated away. Her face was flushed. She looked at Ben who was topless and licked her lips. “Cute,” she muttered.

“I have such an interesting Captain,” Uta remarked. “When I was sailing with my dad, there were some people like you but you are different,” she giggled.

“Shanks was your dad?” Ben questioned.

“Yes, I sailed with him for a few years singing on the ship,” Uta replied as she spun on her heel. “But they said their journey will get dangerous so they left him on an island,” she added.

“Did you meet Luffy?” Ben asked.

“Yes as a kid,” Uta responded. “I know you are best friends with him,” she added.

“How?” Ben questioned. He thought maybe through the newspapers.

“Girls Talk,” Uta simply replied.

“Of course,” Ben responded.

Kalifa then walked towards them. She wore a fitted black tank which showed significant cleavage and yoga pants. She had white sneakers. Her glasses were perched on her nose with a clipboard in hand.

"It's odd," Kalifa said. "Uta and Perona's progress is practically nonexistent compared to the others. Even Ashivra is struggling more than expected,” she remarked.

“See,” Perona remarked. “Even Kalifa, says we are not making progress,” she added as she looked a little sad.

“Kalifa is making an observation and like I said everyone makes progress at different paces,” Ben said.

“That is correct Captain,” Kalifa replied. “I apologize if I said something upsetting,” she added as she bowed slightly.

“No, no,” Perona said. “That is not cute,” she added.

Ben smiled. He thought Kalifa apologising would be unheard of.

Kalifa turned to Ben. “Sexual harassment," she remarked as she touched her glasses.

Uta giggled. “This is a lively crew,” she said.

Ben thought it was too lively at times. He turned to Kalifa. "Well, we can practice together,” Ben said.

Kalifa adjusted her glasses and looked at the clipboard. “You definitely require progress, you are at the bottom of the list with a zero everywhere,” Kalifa said. “I expected more from you,” she added.

Ben felt his heart get struck by arrows. Her words were harsh. “Could you explain to me how Shave works?” he asked.

“You clearly did not listen either,” Kalifa said in a harsh tone as she wrote something. "Shave is pure speed born from explosive leg strength. You kick off the ground repeatedly in rapid succession and use the force to propel yourself forward at blinding speed,” she explained. “Shave is about stepping so fast the air itself seems to crack. You should focus your strength on your legs, compress it, then release it in bursts. Too much force and you'll overshoot however too little and you'll barely move,” she added.

Ben nodded. He planted his feet. He took a breath. He had seen Alvida, Maya and Vivi all do it. “Shave,” Ben said as he vanished in a blur of motion. In the blink of an eye, he reappeared further ahead. He skidded slightly to a stop.

Kalifa's eyes widened fractionally. "Okay form on the first try,” Kalifa said as she made a note on her clipboard.

“Wow,” Uta remarked. “That was impressive Captain,” she added as she clapped.

“You can as well,” Perona grumbled.

Ben panted. His hands were on his knees. "That was tiring. It felt like my legs were on fire,” he added.

"Try it a few more times," Kalifa instructed calmly. "Build endurance. Shave drains stamina quickly at first," she added.

“But Perona and Uta, like I said, everyone learns at their own pace,” Ben said. “I will be there to protect you both,” he firmly stated.

Perona and Uta blushed and nodded. Uta smiled. “I am not weak, I can take care of myself,” Perona remarked.

“So can I,” Perona added as she crossed her arms.

Ben nodded and smiled.

“We should let Ben practise,” Kalifa said as she walked away. Perona and Uta nodded and followed her.

“See you later Captain,” Uta said as she added an extra sway into her step. Her ass swung left and right.

“See you,” Perona said as she floated away.

Ben straightened. He rolled his ankles, and went again. “Shave,” he said as he vanished and appeared forward. Then again he said, “Shave.” Over the next few hours he darted across the deck in bursts. He thought each one was smoother, faster and longer. There was sweat pouring down his face and chest. His muscles were glistening. He then collapsed onto his back and stared up at the sky. His chest was heaving up and down.

"Damn, this is harder than it looks," Ben remarked. At that moment, he heard footsteps approaching him. Ben turned to see Mikita and Zala walking towards him.

Mikita wore a bright yellow cropped tank top with a deep scooped neckline that highlights her toned physique. There was ample cleavage on display. It was paired with matching form-fitting yellow shorts. Both pieces feature a delicate, tonal floral and vine design across the fabric.

Zala was wearing a two-piece athletic set in a charcoal grey fabric. The top was a racerback sports bra featuring a deep V-neckline and breathable mesh paneling along the straps for ventilation. This was paired with high-waisted compression shorts and running shoes.

"You look exhausted," Mikita said as she leaned forward. Her cleavage was on full display. She had a smirk on her face.

Ben gave a weak laugh. "It's harder than it looks,” he said.

Zala snorted softly. "That is not the only hard thing,” Zala said as she looked at his bulge. “Or maybe its natural size,” she added.

Mikita crouched beside him and poked his abs. “This feels like you can grind meat on it,” she said.

“Your big ass can grind on it,” Zala remarked with a chuckle.

“Ben would love that,” Mikita fired back as she poked his abs.

Zala moved and touched his bulge gently.

“Ladies,” Ben said.

“Yes?” Zala and Mikita said at the same time.

Ben smiled. “How is your training going?” he asked. He thought Mikita and Zala were teasing him. He leaned forward and touched their ass with a hand each and squeezed it.

“Ben,” Mikita remarked as she smiled. She thought his hand felt good.

“What a naughty person,” Zala added as she felt her butt being squeezed.

“Well this proves you have been training,” Ben remarked as he let go of their ass.

Mikita smiled. She laid down next to Ben and touched his chest with her fingertip. "You know, Ashivra, Perona, and Uta still haven't been with you. Not even once," she said.

Zala laid on the other side. “It's true. They've been training hard but still have not figured out the first steps,” she added.

Ben stared at the clouds. "Are you suggesting that our love making and training go hand in hand?” Ben suggested.

“The results speak for themselves,” Zala replied as her palm glided over his bulge.

“Well it could be a coincidence,” Ben responded. He thought they might be right. Ben thought back to conversation with Kaya who said even without medical help, most girls had recovered at an incredible pace.

“We thought that but right now, it is only them who are slightly struggling,” Mikita responded.

“Well, I am not going to force them to do anything they do not want to,” Ben said. He felt Zala resting her hand on his crotch. Mikita's finger tip was moving on his chest.

“They all are deeply in love,” Zala responded.

“Ashivra does not hide it,” Mikita added.

Ben smiled. “We do have the quest to do,” Ben said.

“Quest?” Zala questioned.

“Oh, I forgot to tell you all, yesterday when I was talking to Belo Betty a quest appeared,” Ben responded.

“Ben,” Mikita said. “You should tell us all immediately,” she stated in a serious voice.

“I was going, to in the evening,” Ben responded. He saw their serious facial expressions.

“Spill it,” Zala simply replied as she moved her palm on his bulge.

Ben explained the quest to the girls. He gave information on each girl as well.

“Interesting,” Zala replied. “We will tell the others about the quest, so we can plan,” Zala added.

“Impressing the empress,” Mikita remarked. “Do you have a plan for that?” she questioned.

“I do and I was going to tell in the evening,” Ben replied.

Zala and Mikita looked at each other and nodded. They got up and smiled. “We are going to tell everyone about the second part of the quest,” Mikita said.

“There are going to be a lot of happy sisters hearing that part,” Zala chuckled.

“Ben, you can tell the first part and your plans later,” Mikita said.

“See you late Captain,” Zala said. They both walked away.

Ben felt like he did something wrong. He thought he should have said something sooner however he thought oh well. He pushed himself and wiped sweat from his brow. He thought he should do some training. Ben thought he should do some Haki training.

Ben closed his eyes. He is centering himself. He remembered the battle against the fake Shanks and how he'd instinctively coated his fist in black Armament Haki. He thought back to Simon where he used it.

He exhaled slowly. "Armament Haki." Ben said as he extended one arm. He clenched his fist. A faint black sheen flickered along his skin. He focused on it. He tried to keep it. He clenched his fist harder and the coating thickened and hardened. He kept it for 20 seconds and let go. He panted and thought that was hard.

Ben caught his breath. “Again,” he said. "Armament Haki." Ben said as his hand went black again. Ben trained for the next few hours. He thought he was making some progress however it was limited. He could hold haki however only in short bursts.

After a few hours, Alvida stepped into view. Her hips swayed. She wore a sexy gym outfit that left little to the imagination. She had a tight pink sports bra that strained against her generous chest and had matching high-cut shorts that hugged her thighs and ass like a second skin, and sleek pink sneakers. A light sheen of sweat glistened on her skin. Her dark hair was pulled into a high ponytail that bounced with each step. Her cheeks were flushed.

“My love,” she purred. “You’ve been training hard,” she added as she looked at his abs which were glistening.

Ben looked at Alvida. She looked stunning. He saw the sweat tracing down her cleavage, the flush high on her cheeks, the way her chest rose and fell. “You have as well,” he replied.

Alvida’s smile turned wicked, pleased. She crouched beside him, close enough that he could smell the clean salt of her sweat mixed with her signature sweet perfume.

“I have,” she agreed. “Zala and Mikita told me about the quest,” she added.

Ben winced slightly. “I was going to tell you myself,” he started.

She pressed a finger to his lips. “I know. And it’s fine,” she said. Her eyes softened,“I trust you, my love. Completely,” she stated.

She added, “Carina, Helsing, and Nojiko left a few hours ago with Super Tortoise.” “They said they'd be back soon,” she remarked.

Ben nodded. “Okay. I know they’ll be fine,” he responded. He thought he was not going to need Super Tortoise right now.

Alvida nodded. She looked at Ben and touched his crotch. “Your lovemaking sessions, they do have greater power,” she said.

Ben raised an eyebrow. “Is this about Ashivra, Perona, and Uta?” he questioned.

“It’s more than that,” she said. “But yes, partly. I worry they might burn themselves out,” she said.

“Should I have a chat with them?” Ben asked.

Alvida smiled. “Go to the captain’s room,” she said quietly. “Someone’s waiting,” she added.

Ben smiled towards her. He leaned closer and their lips met. Their lips locked together. He kissed with passion. Alvida pressed her lips and kept kissing and then pulled back.

“Love you,” he said simply.

“Love you more,” she shot back, smirking as she watched him go. She thought there was much more to her love ability.

Meanwhile, on the deck of the Hawkins Pirates' ship, the Grim Reaper, Hawkins looked in the distance near the archipelago when a sudden splash shattered the quiet. Hawkins didn’t flinch. He simply tilted his head, listening to the frantic shouts that followed.

“Captain! Man overboard,” he shouted.

Hawkins exhaled through his nose. “Retrieve him,” he ordered.

Several crew members scrambled. There were ropes thrown and hooks lowered. A few moments later, they hauled the man aboard. He was limp and dripping in seawater. His long, trumpet-like hair was plastered to his face. He was bleeding and there were multiple holes in his body.

“He is unconscious,” one shouted.

Another one of the men knelt. “He looks like he has taken a beating,” he added.

“But he is breathing, the first one shouted.

“Who is it?” another question.

“It is Scratchman Apoo,” a man replied as he dropped his bounty papers.

Hawkins stepped forward slowly. He crouched beside Apoo and pulled a fresh card from his deck without looking. The Death card stared back at him, upright. He turned it over once, twice, then tucked it away.

“He is not destined to die today,” Hawkins said quietly. “Our paths will cross again. For now… he lives,” he added.

The crew exchanged uneasy glances but said nothing.

“We drop him off at the next island,” he remarked.

A younger crew member piped up from the back. “Captain, next stop is Sabaody. Archipelago,” he said.

Hawkins didn’t turn. “Fate has already shuffled the deck. Whatever hand Apoo draws next, it is no longer ours to play,” he said as with a flick of his wrist, the cards vanished into his sleeve with a soft snap. “Set course,” Hawkins ordered.
