Very Soft and Very White

Sig had only just learned that vodka could be drunk by the bottle by the person.

After a few rounds of drinks, under Sig's guidance, a tipsy Whitey Bay, having completely let down his guard, began to reveal his "secrets."

However, Sig was so drunk that he could barely hear what Whitey Bay was saying. He had to use his "Telepathist" ability to force himself to have some "memory" Psychological Suggestion, just to ensure that he could remember some things later...

"Captain, you've had too much to drink..." Sig said to the Captain's hat on the table.

"We're not on a ship, no need to call the Captain!" Whitey Bay waved her hand casually.

Then Whitey Bay suddenly wrapped her arms around Sig's neck, her fair skin now flushed. "Seven, are you really not considering getting on the ship?"

Sig kept shaking his head...

Because his consciousness was already hazy and he didn't sense any hostility, he naturally didn't try to force himself to stay awake. So Sig didn't notice that Whitey Bay then seductively licked her red lips.

"How about we do something fun?"

Upon hearing the word "interesting," Sig instinctively became more alert—he hadn't practiced yet today!

Is there anything more interesting than "cultivation"?

But then, Sig felt a soft touch on his lips...

September 29, 1507.

I didn't write in my diary or practice meditation yesterday.

When I woke up in the morning, I was lying in an empty hotel room with my clothes scattered all over the floor.

Even though I slept for a long time, I still feel a bit tired...

Only after activating my deliberately reinforced instinctive memories did I vaguely recall what happened after I went to the tavern last night.

Hmm, it's very white and soft, but not very cold.

There weren't any other "losses," but... the Eternal Pose of Water Seven was taken away!

Fortunately, after thinking about it carefully, I realized that Whitey Bay had mentioned it last night: this is one of the islands preceding Water Seven. As the "Water 7," it is the intersection of seven routes, and the magnetic fields of the seven islands all correspond to that place.

While chasing them to the port now might catch up with the Ice Witch Pirates who haven't left, there's no need to do that. We can just find any ship to tag along with later...

Looking back now, when she finally asked me if I wanted to stay on the ship, she had "ulterior motives."

It's common knowledge that there's no need for love on a pirate ship; if love seeps into a pirate crew, it will only make the team dull.

I also recalled how the atmosphere reached the final stage—under the influence of the "close brother" persona, I actually managed to ask some things that Whitey Bay had always been reluctant to discuss.

The reason she left the Whitebeard Pirates was because when Silver Axe accepted the World Government's investiture and Whitebeard resolved to expel him from the New World, he dismissed all the women on the ship before the final battle...

Although she was Whitebeard's "daughter" and understood his personality, Whitebeard's excessive male chauvinism angered and disappointed Whitey Bay, and Whitebeard subsequently "disappeared" at sea for a time.

It wasn't until recently that I finally figured it out and decided to form my own pirate crew to teach "Old Man" a lesson!

Thinking about Whitebeard's crew, there really weren't any female captains. In fact, as far as I can remember, the Whitebeard Pirates didn't even have any female combatants in the original work. The reason I remember this is because I saw a "spoiler" on a forum and learned that Izo was actually a man. Someone in the post also mentioned that it seems there were no women in the Whitebeard Pirates after the nurses in the medical team were dismissed.

It now seems that before the great battle, Whitebeard not only disbanded the medical team, but also all the women!

This kind of "protection" would indeed make any female companion feel indignant.

However, Whitebeard never treated his crew members as comrades, but rather as his own children—daughters. They were not allowed to participate in dangerous battles. Whitebeard was simply that "annoying".

Of course, if it were someone else who dared to join Whitey Bay in cursing Whitebeard last night, they probably wouldn't be lying in an inn right now, but rather lying dead in the street...

But as a "Telepathist," even when I'm drunk, I instinctively avoid making mistakes, effortlessly navigating between Whitey Bay's "complaints" and Whitebeard somewhat weak "excuses."

Besides, I was drunk at the time, so I didn't think much of it, but now that I think about it, it all feels so off—how could Silver Axe make Whitebeard so serious?

After a brief analysis, I estimate there are two possible reasons...

Firstly, the Navy was likely involved in that battle, since Silver Axe was the only one among the Shichibukai great powers of the New World to accept the title of Shichibukai, and the World Government probably didn't want him to be driven out.

Since Silver Axe ultimately failed, the World Government's involvement would certainly have been downplayed in the "news" at the time, so it's normal that I didn't know about it before.

Secondly, the Silver Axe might not be as "weak" as I feel...

Although I can say that Silver Axe was killed by me, I never thought Silver Axe was weak, but... I never thought he could be compared to Whitebeard.

But considering the Golden Lion's future in the original work...

For Great Pirate who has already achieved fame and success, the blow of "defeat" can be truly devastating!

Or, to put it another way, once a "belief" is shaken, even a top expert can easily regress to an ordinary first-rate level...

After all, all Three Types of Haki are ultimately related to willpower, and a newcomer on the rise is unlikely to have their beliefs shaken by a single failure.

However... for those who have already achieved great success, every failure can deal an irreparable blow to their beliefs.

Indeed, comparing the old bounty posters, it's clear that the Giant Axe Pirates have suffered significant losses among their officers. Previously, Sitoon was at most ranked seventh or eighth in the Giant Axe Pirates...

The Silver Axe of that time, and perhaps the support of the Navy, might have truly convinced Whitebeard that this was a force to be reckoned with and would require a fierce battle.

"Hey, why are you writing for so long today?" The Prison Demon looked at Sig with a mixture of impatience and curiosity.

"Nothing special..." Sig replied somewhat guiltily.

"Then why did you specifically use Psychological Suggestion to shut down my consciousness last night?"

"Why are you so weak even though there was no fighting last night?"

Where did your new Captain go?

The Prison Demon relentlessly pressed for answers.

"If it were a Logia Devil, would it be so nosy?" Sig retorted.

"Huh? What do you mean? Who said Paramecia are inferior to Logia!"

The Prison Demon was successfully swayed...
