Cultivation, the Thoughts of the Women

On the deck, Moya was training his physique, Haki, swordsmanship, kicking techniques, and Fishman Karate; he was involved in everything.

"Are you blaming me for not killing Arlong right now?"

"How could I dare!! Captain has his own plans, and I trust you, Captain!"

Hearing Nami call him Captain repeatedly, Moya remained silent.

"Nami, stop calling me Captain, or believe it or not, I'll punish you severely tonight!"

Moya threatened her fiercely.

"You! Hmph~ I don't blame you for not killing Arlong, but why did you allow Nojiko to board the ship! Tell me, do you have designs on my sister too! You stinking man! You playboy! You big pig's trotter!"

Nami said indignantly.

So that was it; Moya was speechless and spread his hands helplessly.

"Nojiko volunteered to board as a gardener, and since she is your sister, how could I refuse?"

Moya would never admit to his own little ulterior motives.

Right, the bold starve the timid, while the brave are stuffed to death!

Besides, Moya suffered from a collection syndrome regarding anime beauties, adhering to the principle of "better to capture wrongly than to let one slip away!"

Regardless of whether they were useful or not, he would collect them first.

Ever since he awakened his Conqueror's Haki, this symptom had become even more pronounced.

A king's decision is unshakable!

"You dare say you don't have other thoughts! Don't I know you well enough! My Captain Moya!"

"Then I'll have to get to know you deeply as well!"

Seeing Nami acting jealous, Moya forcibly pulled her into his arms and hummed softly.

"You!..." Seeing the shameless Moya, Nami felt quite helpless.

"Whew~" There was still a long way to go before he could touch the concept of space.

Since Whitebeard's Gura Gura no Mi could shatter space, then my Slip-Slip Fruit should be able to cause spatial landslides and massive spatial collapses; under an absolute spatial collapse, no one would be able to resist.

It was just that to reach that level of spatial manipulation, his body would need to make even greater breakthroughs.

Not thinking too far ahead, he took it one step at a time; Moya continued to train his body, as the body was the most important foundation.

Only with a sufficiently powerful body could he have the qualifications to compete with monsters like Big Mom, Kaido, and Garp—monsters even more monstrous than monsters.

Taijutsu, swordsmanship, Devil Fruit abilities—Moya studied them all.

Although this meant he lacked the time to train, causing him to not be proficient enough in any single area, he knew that to dominate the first half of the Grand Line, one must at least master one, and to enter the New World to contend with the Four Emperors, one must master at least two; only by mastering three could one suppress the world.

A king's heart would never allow Moya to shrink back; if he was going to do it, he had to be the best and the strongest.

Moya held a standard steel sword, swinging it repeatedly; he could not yet fully comprehend the Heart of a Swordsman or the Breath of All Things.

He could only swing his sword in the most primitive way, engraving the habit and the sensation into his bones and his consciousness.

Drawing from Zoro's swordsmanship training and the few hours of guidance from Hawkeye, he used the most effective and simple way to swing his blade.

Watching Moya training diligently on the deck, "Captain Moya is either training or spending time with Nami; what are we supposed to do?"

Maddie asked Kaya quietly. Maddie was also confused; she wondered why she hadn't just disembarked and gone home after boarding the ship.

"We have to show our value! Only then will the Captain look at us with new eyes. Nami has superb navigation skills, Nojiko has rich gardening experience, and I am learning medicine. But what about you, Maddie? What are you interested in?"

Kaya tilted her head cutely and asked in return.

"I~"

Maddie hesitated. She had originally boarded the ship for fun, and it was only because of Moya's invitation that she had felt a moment of heartbeat.

But now, Moya was always busy training, as if he had forgotten about her, and she had no combat power or special talents.

With a bitter smile, Maddie walked back to her room in low spirits.

"Maddie~"

"Sister Maddie~"

Kaya and Rika pleaded, trying to make her stay.

Rika looked at Maddie's retreating back and spoke with earnest determination.

"I will learn Fishman Karate and Silent Step. I want to become a helper to Brother Moya. I am no longer a child, and Sister Maddie can do it too!"

"Can I really? Perhaps I should just return to my family?"

Maddie clenched her fists tightly.

These girls all seemed capable of turning their lives upside down for the sake of those they cherished.

In truth, Moya had seen all of their changes; before, he had purely been a collector of anime beauties.

But from the moment Moya's soul fused with the seed of Luffy's Conqueror's Haki.

The dream he had secretly harbored back on Earth—of having multiple wives and concubines—was infinitely magnified. To put it bluntly, he was a selfish, possessive scumbag.

Moya intended to cultivate every one of his women into a figure who could stand on her own.

If they lacked martial prowess, he would cultivate other abilities, such as management.

If they truly lacked the talent for cultivation, then being a canary or a decorative vase would suffice.

That night, in Moya's room, Nami sat beside him, while Kaya, Maddie, Rika, and Nojiko sat on either side.

"Since you have all boarded my ship, I have an obligation to protect you and make you stronger. Of course, that is on the condition that you have the resolve to become stronger!"

Hearing this, the girls beamed with joy, while Nami let out a "hmph" and turned her head away.

"Brother Moya, can Rika also become stronger?" Rika asked seriously.

Moya looked at the little girl Rika; she was truly adorable.

"Of course! With Brother here, you can."

"I'm afraid that a certain big pervert wouldn't even spare Rika, would he!"

Nami gritted her teeth, speaking with bitter resentment.

"From now on, Nami will take the lead. You should all take her as your example!"

Moya said to the girls.

"On what grounds! I am Nami's sister; I am the big sister here!" Nojiko said with her head held high.

Nami had been feeling a bit jealous, but hearing Moya place her in a position of honor gave her some comfort.

However, the detestable Nojiko actually dared to come out and snatch the top spot. This was intolerable.

"Right now, it's because I am Moya's officer, and are you? Nojiko, none of you are anything to Moya yet!"

"I have decided: whoever becomes strong first and gains Moya's recognition will have the higher status!"

Nami said with a haughty air, simultaneously throwing the conflict back at the other girls!

Upon hearing Nami's words, the girls' expressions shifted, and they all looked at Moya in unison, their eyes filled with an indescribable meaning.

Watching the girls' gazes, Moya felt a surge of immense satisfaction. Nami was truly a god-tier assist!

Yet, on the surface, he remained extremely calm.

"Fighting is a man's business, but you all need a bit of self-preservation ability."

"You can develop your own careers based on your interests. Study medicine, commerce, or cooking—anything is fine."

"Nojiko, you can learn long-range skills like sniping or archery. When the time comes, I'll take you to a plant-based island for advanced training."

"Kaya, we will encounter a famous doctor on our route for you to study under."

"Rika, I will find another chef in Loguetown, don't worry."

"Nami, you will go to Weatheria to study and strengthen your navigational knowledge."

"As for Maddie, you can study business management and intelligence gathering."

After the girls nodded, they returned to their rooms, each lost in her own thoughts.

Nami stayed behind, and then, a storm of passion ensued.
