One Piece: Grand Harem Adventures

Ben thought the sea was rather calm. He walked towards the Dining Room and entered it. He looked to see they were dressed in daring Amazonian-style outfits. He thought they all looked stunning and beautiful.

“Good Morning,” Ben said with a smile on his face.

They all turned their heads and looked at Ben. Their faces lit up. “Morning my love,” Alvida said. She was wearing her wide-brimmed white hat decorated with two reddish-pink feathers. Her top was structured in a bikini-style bra made of brown material with gold trim. She had a beaded gold necklace and matching armbands. The lower half of the outfit consists of a decorative leather loincloth which was held up by a series of thin straps and a prominent belt featuring a large, sun-shaped gold buckle. She wore leather bracers on her forearms and tall, gladiator-style sandals that lace up to the mid-calf with gold buckles.

Ben walked towards her. “You look like you are ready to slay a dragon,” Ben remarked.

“I will slay anything for you my love,” Alvida responded with a smile.

“Dragons sound scary,” Marianne said as she ate a cookie. She was wearing a wide-brimmed reddish-orange hat with green and red stripes. Her top consists of a brown cropped utility vest with a central zipper and multiple buckles, worn over a simple black undershirt. For the lower half, she had sports brown cargo shorts secured by a heavy-duty black belt equipped with a small pouch. She had sturdy brown lace-up boots with thick socks.

“I heard they go for cute girls first,” Robin said as she was wearing a revealing, gold-trimmed bikini top fastened with a metallic clasp. She had a high-cut loincloth featuring a subtle gold emblem. Over her shoulders was a floor-length, high-collared cloak with a thick gold border She blue strappy high-heeled sandals.

“They do?” Marianne questioned as she looked a little scared.

“They go after everyone,” Ben said. “But I will protect you all from it,” Ben stated. He thought Kaido was a dragon and there may be more.

He looked at Robin and thought she looked elegant, like a queen.

“Ben, there is a space between Perona and Vivi for you,” Zala said as she gave a piece of toast to Robin. Zala was wearing a red bra and matching red panties with black boots. She had a small white cape around her neck which went to half her back. Ben thought she had a nice butt.

He walked towards Zala and gently smacked her butt. “You look good,” he teased.

Zala yelped in surprise. “Ahh,” Zala remarked as she felt his hand on her ass. She smiled.

“Is he like this?” Uta questioned with a smile on her face. She was black lace-covered corset secured by five antique brass-toned swing arm clasps. She had matching black lace-trimmed bottoms and black fishnet stay-up stockings that boast a wide, ornate floral lace band at the thigh. She had a black rose and gold-tone gear necklace. Her signature yellow and blue headphones were on her ears. She had sleek black high-heeled ankle boots.

“Most of the time sadly,” Kaya responded as she took a bite of her toast. She was wearing a snakeskin-patterned bikini top secured by a golden snake-shaped clasp. It showed some cleavage. She also had a leopard-print loincloth layered over dark fur which was held up by a green rope belt and a decorative gold coin belt. She also had a vibrant red sash hanging from her hip.

“She is just jealous her butt was not spanked,” Nojiko giggled. She was wearing a deep burgundy two-piece set with gold embroidery and white fur trim along the bustline. The top was a cropped, sweetheart-style bodice, while the high-waisted skirt featured a dramatic side slit and a pattern of golden, serpent-like swirls. She had large gold hoop earrings, a golden snake coiled around her torso and arms, and burgundy ankle boots.

“I am not,” Kaya responded as she went slightly red. She looked at Ben and his hand. She paused for a second. “I am not,” she added.

“That is sexual harassment," Kalifa said as she touched her glasses. She was wearing a deep red bandeau top adorned with a golden snake-like emblem. It was paired with a matching flowing loincloth skirt held by a brown leather belt with a circular gold buckle. She had a high-collared purple cape over her shoulders. She also had a choker, armbands, bracelets, and anklet.

“I was not offended,” Zala said with a smile on her face. “You can smack it again Captain,” she teased.

Ben cleared his throat. “Well, maybe I should have not but it was too tempting,” Ben said as he made his way to the head of the long table and slid into a seat between Perona and Vivi.

Perona was focused entirely on her breakfast. She was wearing a deep plunging crop top with short, rolled sleeves. The top had a white ghost symbol printed on the left chest. It showed off her cleavage. She paired it with matching high-waisted pink shorts. Her long legs were exposed. She also had sleek pink strappy heels, “You are all sometimes too noisy, not cute,” she remarked as she ate her cereal.

Vivi was eating a fruit. She wore a form-fitting, sweetheart-neckline bodice paired with a skirt featuring geometric patterns and decorative brown tassels. She had a long, sweeping hooded cape in a matching deep blue over her shoulders. She had large hoop earrings and wore blue high-heeled pumps.

Ben thought they both looked stunning. Without a word, Ben reached out and slid his hands firmly around both of their waists.

"Hey," Perona and Vivi both yelped in unison. Perona thought his hand was around her. She thought how bold and.

"Honestly, Ben," Vivi huffed, though a smile played on her lips. "You still have this much energy?" she questioned.

"Always," Ben responded with a smile on his face. He held their waist firmly. He thought Perona and Vivi put up no resistance.

“That would be an under statement,” Mikita responded as she stretched her arms. She was wearing a halter-style bikini with overlapping yellow leaf-like scales that resemble flower petals held together by thin brown straps. Below, she wore a frayed yellow loincloth patterned with whole lemons and green leaves, which was secured at the hips with brown circular rings. She also had yellow high-heeled pumps and simple gold hoop earrings.

“He has a lot of energy,” Honey said. She wore a leopard-print outfit. She wore a string bikini featuring a classic spotted pattern. It had thin white straps. She had knee-high boots in a matching leopard print. She had a thick multi-layered choker necklace and matching solid gold bangles on both wrists.

“He is nothing but energy,” Mikita remarked once more.

“Someone can't keep up,” Zala said as she poured tea into Robin`s cup.

“Neither can you,” Mikita fired back.

“Touche,” Zala said.

“He is expectational,” Raki said as she laid back on her chair. She was wearing a purple bikini top and bottom with sandals.

“He must be a monster,” Uta remarked. She looked at him and licked her lips.

“He definitely is a monster,” Ashivra said as she thought back to last night and winked at him. She was wearing a black corset top showing significant cleavage and a bikini bottom with black sandals and coil around her arm.

“Our monster,” Saphir remarked as she looked at her spear and smiled. She thought it was the best gift she could have received. She wore a halter-style crop top in deep indigo and teal, This was paired with a matching layered mini skirt and a thick, braided belt. She had blue strappy sandals with rope-like ankle wraps,

Vivi giggled and picked up a knife. She sliced an apple and held a piece to his lips. "Open wide, Captain,” she said. “You need your strength for what’s coming," she added.

Ben opened up and ate the apple. He thought Vivi, the princess, was feeding him. He thought this was called life.

Across the table, Nojiko leaned her chin on her hand and watched them with a smirk. "That is just too cute. Look at that, Robin, our Princess is hand-feeding the Captain," she teased.

"It is a charming sight," Robin agreed as her eyes twinkled over the rim of her coffee cup.

Vivi’s face went bright red. She muttered something under her breath, but the rest of the girls giggled.

“Maybe I should feed him,” Conis remarked. She was wearing a structured metallic bikini top. She had a pair of matching bracers on her forearms and an armband on her upper left arm. Her lower half consisted of a high-low pleated skirt in a shimmering yellow-gold hue. She had gladiator-style sandals with vertical straps.

“He is old enough to eat,” Perona remarked as she ate her cereal.

“Indeed, he is getting lazy,” Kalifa said as she wrote something down.

Zala leaned over and calmly poured a fresh cup of tea for Marianne. "The tea is perfect,” Marianne remarked. “Do you want some?” she asked as she looked at Ben.

“Sure,” Ben responded. He looked around. “How is everyone feeling after yesterday`s training?” Ben questioned.

"Good to go," Mikita chirped. “I am filled with energy,” she said as she swung her leg over her other leg.

“Yes we are fully rested,” Maya added. She was wearing a blue bikini top and blue short skirt and sandals. She had prayed last night to ensure everyone had good health to the Goddess. She thought back to her village and how her Grandma talked about the Goddess protecting them all.

Ben nodded. "Where exactly are we?" Ben asked. He felt it was very smooth right now.

"We are sailing through the Calm Belt right now,” Nojiko said.

“The Miss Love Duck is a truly exceptional ship,” Robin remarked.

“She is,” Marianne agreed.

“I thought in these waters, sea kings would target you,” Vivi said as she gave another piece of apple to Ben.

“The Miss Love Duck has sea prism at the bottom of the ship therefore the sea kings wont notice us,” HQ explained.

“It must be part of the upgrades,” Honey remarked.

“It was,” NT replied as she stepped into the Dining Room.

“NT,” Vivi said as she looked at her.

“You are here,” Ben replied. “Did BM go back?” Ben asked.

“She did,” Nojiko responded as she ate a grape. “She told us last night,” she added.

Ben nodded. “Okay, good to have you here,” Ben said. “How is Emeraude, Rubis, Cherry and Ivy?” Ben asked.

“My Emperor, they all have been missing you,” NT replied.

“I should go and see them soon,” Ben remarked. “Are they all still heading to Alabasta?” he asked.

“No my Emperor, they had taken a detour and now are heading to an island called Rainbow Island,” NT responded.

Ben`s eyes slightly widened. “Rainbow Island is not a safe place,” Ben responded.

The girls all looked at him. “Why what happened there?” Conis questioned.

“Nothing yet but soon there is going to be a conflict there,” Ben replied. “The Kingdom will be attacked by Drayke Pirates to claim a lost power,” Ben added.

“A lost power?” Robin questioned as she put her cup down.

“What type of power?” Honey asked.

“It is called the Rainbow Eye,” Ben responded. “It is said to give its user the power to take over the world,” Ben added.

“Another one?” Mikita sighed.

“We seem to be running into them,” Zala added.

“Should we go there and help them?” Maya asked.

“My love, Carina, Helsing and Naomi could reach them if they slowed down,” Alvida replied. “We need to trust in the power,” she added.

Ben thought he had to deal with the upcoming war. He nodded. “Okay, let them know about it and since we have the teleporter we can help anytime,” Ben added. He thought stretching everyone would be risky. He sometimes had to choose battles.

They all nodded. “I know Emeraude and Rubis have also been training,” Saphir said. “They will be able to handle it,” she added.

"How long until we hit Amazon Lily?" Mikita asked.

"A few hours, tops," Nojiko replied.

Raki leaned forward. "It is an island filled with warriors,” she remarked. “What's the plan, Ben?” she questioned. “Are we docking right at the front gates?" she asked.

Ben took a deep breath. "I’m going to go in by myself first,” Ben responded. “I have a plan,” he added/

A chorus of "No!" erupted instantly. Kaya, Maya, Conis, Marianne and Honey all looked at him with sharp frowns.

"That sounds like a bad plan,” Conis said.

"You're walking into a lion's den,” Robin chuckled as she peeled a banana. “The island is known for its man hating rules,” she said as she smiled. “They will probably shoot you at sight,” Robin said.

"Captain, let us come,” Ashivra said.

"If they lay a finger on you, I'll turn the whole island into a ghost town," Perona threatened. Her eyes widened. “I mean,” she said as she blushed slightly.

The girls giggled.

"I have a plan to earn their trust," Ben insisted. "I need to do this alone to prove I’m not a threat. You’ll be close by, if things go sideways,” Ben added. He thought that was probably not needed however he thought having an insurance plan is always a good idea.

Alvida crossed her arms. She nodded. "That's fine. We trust you my love,” Alvida said.

“We do,” Vivi firmly stated.

“The princes always trust the Captain,” Nojiko remarked as she smiled.

“I feel more worried about them than Ben,” Zala commented.

“Monster,” Marianne said.

Everyone else nodded.

"There's another reason," Ben added. "The quest I got has certain objectives and one of them is the need to make Boa Hancock fall in love with me," he said.

Perona snorted. "With you? Not exactly a difficult task, is it? You've already got a ship full of us,” she responded. She thought she was in love with him by just a picture and those vague dreams. She shook her head.

"Sounds like a Captain`s task," Conis remarked.

“That I agree with,” Mikita chuckled.

"Sexual harassment,” Kalifa sighed as she adjusted her glasses.

"Pervert," Kaya teased as she smiled.

"Pirate Empress Boa Hancock, a Warlord of the Sea,” HQ remarked. “She has a bounty of 80,000,000 Beli,” she added.

“Ben and Alvida have a higher bounty,” Marianne remarked.

“It is the same bounty as yours Robin,” Conis added.

“Since she joined the Warlords, her bounty has been frozen,” Ben responded. “It is more likely above a billion,” Ben added.

They all gasped. “Is she really that strong?” Raki questioned.

"She is a famous man-hater," Robin said.

"Ben can do it," Vivi said firmly as she placed a supportive hand on his arm.

Ben cleared his throat. "There’s a reason she hates men. Boa and her sisters... they were captured by Celestial Dragons when they were children. They experienced brutal slavery, branding, torture and they were even forced to eat Devil Fruits for the entertainment of their masters," he explained.

An angry, heavy silence fell.

Uta gripped her fork so hard it bent. "Slavery,” she said.

“Torture,” Ashivra whispered as her hand tightened into a fist.

"They were just children," Kaya said in shock.

“Their cruelty knows no bounds,” Kalifa commented.

"That explains the hatred," Raki remarked.

"We have to help her," Vivi said. "No one should have to carry that weight alone," she added.

Honey leaned in. "Is the mark permanent?” she asked.

"It’s like a tattoo," Ben replied.

Nojko looked at her tattoos and Nami`s tattoo. She changed her tattoos when she could.

"If she has a mark of a slave, I can help hide it," Marianne offered, "My Colors Trap can mask almost anything from the naked eye," she added.

"Master can remove it entirely,” HQ said.

"Really?" Ben asked. He thought his devil fruit had that power.

Alvida smiled. "She's right my love," Alvida said,

Ben nodded. "The quest also involves protecting the sisters' dignity. I have an idea for a situation that will help them reveal the truth, but I have to be the only witness. It might involve a fight. I actually had a dream about it," he remarked.

They all nodded.

“One more thing, the Marines might be nearby so make sure we stay South of the Island and out of their line of sight,” Ben commanded.

“Yes Captain,” Nojiko responded.

“And on top of that there are Sea Kings,” Ben warned.

“We are not dolls,” Conis replied.

Ben smiled. “Okay, then I will move soon,” Ben said.
