Seeing the information about the two people projected by the Sea Emperor, Gu Ding was somewhat surprised. "These two are incredibly strong! But why did they invite us to this banquet?"

"We've been making headlines lately, so it's not surprising that you invited us, is it?" Sea Emperor countered.

The story goes like this: early that morning, Gu Ding received an e-invitation with only one sentence written on it:

Welcome to my birthday party, all members of the Gu Ding Pirate Crew!

Then there's a signature:

Tanya Beauty Pirate Crew

That's why Gu Ding looked up information about Tanya, and Sea Emperor also projected information about the guy named Kenz.

"Actually, there's something I don't understand. This guy named Kenz is clearly much stronger than this guy named Tanya, so why is he only a vice-captain?" Elsa raised another question.

"Kenz is probably the strongest in the Shallow Sea Zone, no weaker than the two giants of the Shallow Sea Zone Duncan and Lorin. The only reason he stayed with the Beauty Pirate Crew is Tanya," the Sea Emperor explained.

"That's what I was thinking too. Men are competitive creatures; with his strength, how could he be content to be just a vice-captain?" Liliath nodded, resting her chin on her hand. "But, should we go to this banquet or not?"

"Of course we'll go. The banquet will definitely be a lot of fun!" Gu Ding was the first to agree.

"Besides us, who else did they invite? Sea Emperor, can you find out?" Miko asked.

"I just checked. Besides us, more than three thousand people received invitations, all of whom are well-known figures in the Shallow Sea Zone. But they are mainly veteran powerhouses; there are relatively few newcomers like us. They only invited less than twenty teams of newcomers." Naturally, this kind of thing could not escape the Sea Emperor's investigation.

"That shouldn't be an operation targeting us, I think we can go." After hearing what the Sea Emperor said, Miko also gave her opinion.

"Tanya's birthday party is held every year, so there's no need to worry about that. Although they are Interstellar Pirate, they won't use that as an excuse to rob the people attending the party," the Sea Emperor explained with a smile. "Moreover, it's said that Tanya especially enjoys watching arena duels, and she holds an arena competition every year. The winner receives a generous reward."

"This sounds good. You guys don't need to participate, let me do it." Dokter was itching to try it out.

"I want to participate too!" Elsa hadn't had a satisfying battle in a while.

Even Gu Ding was eager to try, saying, "If there are good opponents, I wouldn't mind going up and fighting a few matches."

"Should we go or not?" Sea Emperor continued. "Make a decision as soon as possible. If we go, I'll need to adjust the course slightly."

Gu Ding, Elsa, and Dokter immediately gave their affirmative opinions.

"It's been a long time since I've attended a banquet, I might as well go and take a look," Liliath said, seemingly reluctantly.

"I have no objection." Bigge shook his head.

"It doesn't matter to me where I go," Robert without objection.

"I'll just follow you." Miko actually a little excited, as he had never left Norman Star before.

"Whatever." Tagore, who was resting on Gu Ding's shoulder, lifted his eyelids slightly, then closed his eyes again to sleep.

Blue stared wide-eyed, looking around, completely unaware of what everyone was talking about.

"I think it's worth a look, it's not far anyway. So now it's nine votes in favor, Blue abstained. Let's head to Tanya's base right now— Tanya Star!"

The Tanya Star wasn't called that before; it was renamed after Tanya took over the planet.

Tanya is a beautiful woman, but she is also extremely narcissistic. Therefore, she often names things she likes after herself, such as Tanya Star, Tanya Fruit, Tanya Flower, Tanya Cake...

Of course, when she names things of the same type, she adds numbers to them. For example: Tanya's Devil Fruit Number One, Tanya Fruit Number Two, Tanya Fruit Number Three...

Before Tanya occupied it, the Tanya Star was a very beautiful tourist destination, which is why Tanya named it after herself.

Meanwhile, on the Tanya Star, in the Tanya Palace, a woman dressed in an elegant long dress was sitting on the edge of a large golden bed, holding a wine glass.

She was indeed a beautiful woman, her skin as clear and translucent as a gemstone, reflecting a hazy glow in the night. Her large amber eyes were slightly dreamy, her cheeks were flushed, and fine beads of sweat glistened on her smooth, jade-like nose. Her lips were painted a vibrant red, yet it didn't look out of place at all. Her long chestnut hair cascaded down to her waist, gleaming beautifully in the moonlight.

Her dress was blue, and the hem extended all the way down from the edge of the bed to a man's feet.

He was a tall, muscular man, nearly two meters tall, with muscles bulging like a beast's, rugged and resolute features, and a thick, black beard that exuded a wild, masculine charm. But in front of the woman, he simply lowered his head, seemingly not daring to look at her even once.

"Kenko," the woman called softly, then stretched out her foot. This was her nickname for the man.

On her feet were a pair of black, Hate-the-Heavens High Heels. The heels were at least seventeen or eighteen centimeters long.

The man knelt on one knee, gently lifted the woman's foot, and slowly removed her shoe. His movements were extremely gentle, as if afraid of hurting her. After removing the shoe, he even gently massaged it in the moonlight. His gaze was as soft as a tranquil lake.

After taking off one shoe, he bent down and took off the second shoe.

"Kenko..." the woman called again, handing over the wine glass.

The man took the wine glass and placed it on the cabinet beside him. Then he walked to the bedside, lifted her up by the waist, and gently laid her down in the middle of the large bed. He covered her with a white fleece blanket before turning to leave.

"Don't go..." The woman was half asleep, but she didn't know why she uttered these words.

The man paused, then turned and sat down beside the woman on the bed. Looking at the moonlight illuminating her serene face, his gaze softened even more.

After a long while, the woman fell into a deep sleep. He stared at her blankly for a moment, then, coming back to his senses, he quietly stood up. Just as he was about to leave, he noticed a wine glass on a nearby cabinet. He walked around to pick it up before quietly leaving the woman's room.

After gently closing the door, he stood in the doorway and his gaze fell on the wine glass.

There was a red lipstick mark on the rim of the cup. He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't resist touching his lips to the mark. He could also smell the faint lingering fragrance of the woman on the rim of the cup. He slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, as if trying to imprint the scent in his mind.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but the aura finally dissipated, and he finally came to his senses. He glanced at the wine glass again and poured all the amber liquid inside down his throat.

After leaving the palace, he returned to his own residence.

An elderly man with gray hair, dressed in a black suit, came forward to greet him. "Sir, you're back."

"Find me twenty women! And bring them over right now." The man, reeking of alcohol, strode into the house.

The old steward shook his head helplessly, sighed slightly, and then instructed the men to go out.

Soon, one woman after another was brought into the man's room.

All night long, the voices of women could be heard throughout the mansion.

The man didn't emerge from his room until dawn the next day. He took a shower, changed into a suit, and made sure to greet the old butler before leaving. "They can leave whenever they want. This time, pay double the price of last time."

The old butler watched the man's retreating figure until he was far away, then shook his head helplessly.

"Uncle Carlton, why does the master always call so many women when he comes back from staying in the palace so late?" A boy who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old couldn't help but ask. He was a newcomer.

"You brat, don't ask questions you shouldn't!" The old butler glared at the boy and turned to walk towards the man's room.

Inside the room, twenty women lay scattered on the floor, none of them awake. Their clothes were torn to shreds, a sight that made Carlton blush slightly.

Inside the Tanya Palace, sunlight streamed through the windows onto the golden bed. The woman in the blue dress You You awoke, glanced at the blanket covering her and the long dress she was still wearing, and knew what had happened the night before. She looked around, but saw no one, and a hint of disappointment crossed her eyes.

After taking off her clothes and showering, she changed into another dress. Just as she finished combing her hair, there was a knock at the door. She knew who it was and called out lazily, "Come in."

A man in a formal suit pushed open the door and entered, but he never looked up.

"Kenko, am I pretty?" The woman turned around and smiled at him.

The man then looked up at Su, who had been looking down, and exclaimed, "Beautiful!"

"Have all the invitations been sent out?" The woman walked towards the man step by step.

"They were all sent out yesterday. I checked, and nothing was missing." The man nodded.

"I wonder how many more birthday parties like this can be held. Without you, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to have one even once..." the woman sighed.

"I will always be by your side," the man said, his eyes burning with determination.

Thanks to Lao Jianzi for providing the minor role of "Jianzi"; writing about masochistic male characters is really difficult. Also, thanks to Shi Chenhai for providing the minor role of "Tanya"; I've always been good at playing tsundere female characters. I hope everyone will actively participate in this minor role thread. The settings should ideally be as simple as possible so I can better integrate them into the story. Actually, I have a few really good settings, but they're too detailed for me to fit into the story, so I've kept them on hold...
