"Let's begin."
While Gion was still lost in wild thoughts, Ross had already risen to his feet.
Since Gion had agreed, it was time for him to take the initiative.
He slowly walked over to Gion. Before long, pieces of clothing fell to the floor one after another, and heavy breathing filled the room.
C-rank defeat completed! Strength +10000 Special reward: Observation Haki (C-rank)
Hearing the pleasant voice by his ear, Ross sped up even more.
In particular, his newly awakened Observation Haki allowed him to sense that Kake was still standing outside the door.
"Those one-meter-eighty long legs... This feels too damn good. I could play with them for half a lifetime..."
Hearing Ross mutter softly and feeling those scorching hands moving up and down, Gion's already flushed face turned even redder.
Outside the room, Kake heard the sounds of pleasure coming from within and quietly clenched his fists, but in the end, he dejectedly lowered his arms.
After his expression shifted several times, he silently chose to leave.
If he stayed any longer, he feared he would lose control and rush inside.
That was the love of his life!
An hour later, Stella and Zany walked out of the room and closed the door for Ross.
According to the fruit's feedback, Gion held no emotions related to killing intent or anger. They could finally rest easy.
Another hour passed, and the room was already a complete mess.
Ross leaned leisurely against the headboard, holding Gion's smooth, fair body in his arms.
Feeling his arm wrapped in softness, Ross lit a cigarette and took a deep drag, his entire body radiating satisfaction.
In his previous life, he had not even known any girls who were one meter eighty tall. Now, he could enjoy Gion's long legs. The feeling was simply too good.
Being a Celestial Dragon really did tempt people into depravity.
Ross's hand rubbed over Gion's plump thigh, still able to feel the tautness of her skin.
"After this Buster Call ends, I'll prepare a Great Grade Sword for you. I'll also have Zephyr continue serving as your instructor until your strength reaches its limit."
After he finished speaking, Ross could clearly feel Gion's body relax a little more.
Ross squeezed Gion's perky buttocks and continued striking while the iron was hot, intending to win her heart in one go.
He had always believed in the school of fusion. If their bodies had not fused, how could there be any heartfelt connection?
Once they had fused, however, opening their hearts to each other became simple—especially afterward.
"By the way, if I let you choose a Devil Fruit you liked, which one would you choose?"
"As long as it can make me stronger."
Gion spoke softly, a trace of tenderness flashing through her eyes.
Ross had taken her purity so easily, and it had happened the first time they met. She was deeply uneasy inside and felt no sense of security at all.
Now that Ross was willing to talk to her about the future and about what he would give her, it at least showed that he truly cared about her. That was already enough.
"Between a Logia and a Mythical Zoan, which would you prefer?" Ross asked.
Gion was the first future powerhouse to take the initiative, so naturally he would not brush her off carelessly.
When the future came, Gion might very well become the greatest safeguard by his side.
Ross had already thought of two powerful fruits: one Logia, one Mythical Zoan.
Though those two fruits were not in his hands, he knew where they were. He would most likely be able to obtain them.
"There's actually a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit?"

Upon hearing that she could choose a Mythical Zoan, Gion could not help crying out in surprise.
Although she had previously said before Ross that female powerhouses could also carve out a place for themselves on the seas,
Those women, without exception, had been monsters from birth and were almost all born strong.
Within the Marines, examples of women becoming admirals were exceedingly rare. The last one had appeared a hundred years ago.
Gion knew that her physical talent fell short of true monsters. What she could rely on was only her fairly good talent for swordsmanship, paired with decent physical qualities. Only then might she have a chance to touch the threshold of admiral level in the future.
But if she could eat a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, her physical qualities would no longer be a weakness. She was confident she could join the ranks of the strong within two years.
"There is a Mythical Zoan, but its situation still isn't certain. After the Buster Call, go there yourself."
Ross nodded slightly. Thanks to his knowledge of future events, he possessed quite a bit of information regarding Devil Fruits.
Many fruits currently had no owner. There were several Mythical Zoans among them, and he even knew the rough regions where some of them would appear.
The one he had mentioned to Gion was the Bat-Bat Fruit: Mythical Zoan: Vampire Form.
Since this world had "Count Red" Baroric Redfield, it certainly had to have the Vampire Fruit.
For a top-tier powerhouse like Redfield, this fruit only provided eternal youth and limitless recovery. It was not that the fruit had been wasted, merely that it had not been put to its fullest use.
Redfield had already been a powerhouse on par with Whitebeard and Roger. Even with the Vampire Fruit, he could not surpass them.
But if Gion ate it, the Vampire Fruit's limitless recovery through bloodsucking would be enough to nurture a top-tier powerhouse no weaker than Redfield. That would be making full use of it.
Besides, Ross was rather interested in the Vampire Fruit's awakening.
By harvesting lifespan through bloodsucking, one could remain forever young. That was practically immortality.
If it awakened, could that ability be used on other people?
If the Vampire Fruit could grant immortality, Ross could put all his other life-extension plans on hold.
That was why Ross had high expectations for this fruit and would not allow anyone else to lay a hand on it.
If the fruit in the World Government treasury had not been more appealing to Ross, he would definitely have eaten this one himself.
But even if he did not eat it himself, he would give it to one of his trusted subordinates.
At present, the best candidate was Gion in his arms.
Once he fully cultivated Gion, he would have a genuine admiral-level powerhouse under his command. Unlike Zephyr, whose values had already taken shape, Gion was still a blank sheet of paper and could be freely dyed in his own colors.
"A Mythical Zoan Fruit... Master, I'll work hard!"
Gion tightened her hold around Ross's arm, even feeling somewhat fortunate about her choice.
If she had not been so proactive and decisive, how could a treasure of this level ever have fallen to her?
A powerful Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit was enough to create an admiral. It was an even greater aid than a Logia Fruit.
"You don't need to address me like they do. To the outside world, you'll be my first wife," Ross said calmly.
Since he had decided to let Gion eat the Vampire Fruit, he would naturally give her the highest status.
It was no great matter for Celestial Dragons to marry ordinary people. Some Celestial Dragons even had dozens of wives. The main reason was that descendants born from unions between Celestial Dragons and ordinary people were not considered true Celestial Dragons, only people with Celestial Dragon blood.
Many of the World Nobles in Mary Geoise had ancestors with half Celestial Dragon blood. As those bloodlines multiplied over time, they gradually became the main force controlling the World Government.
Ross, however, did not care about any of that. If Gion bore him a child, he would absolutely raise the child according to the standards of Celestial Dragon elites.
"A wife..."
Gion did not understand any of those matters. Simply hearing that Ross wanted to take her as his wife—and his first wife at that—was enough to wrap her in warmth.
Her best imagined ending had been for this lofty Celestial Dragon to treat her as a subordinate with slightly higher status.
She had never expected Ross to give her far more than she had imagined.
This outcome did not seem so bad.
Perhaps her choice had been the right one?
