Ship, Wind-Fire Liquid Metal

Harbor.

"Captain, look. This ship is 170 meters long and 32 meters wide. Its exterior is coated in Windfire Liquid Alloy, which I synthesized from the Terminator robots' liquid metal and my highly regenerative Windfire Alloy. Without an extremely high-intensity energy or physical attack, it simply cannot be damaged.

"I designed both sides of the ship in the shape of hands, with an eye embedded in each palm. The two eyes on either side are equipped with the Terminator robots' particle cannons and my Windfire energy cannons respectively.

"As for the bow, I modeled it after the shrine from the skill called Domain that you use. The largest bull skull beneath the shrine is fitted with a Windfire particle energy cannon created by the Terminator robots and me. Its power is absolutely terrifying.

"Captain, what do you think? Isn't it imposing and badass?" Standing beneath the enormous vessel, Windfire Wheel stood with his hands on his hips and proudly introduced it to Rody and the others who had come to inspect it.

"Wow! Is this going to be our ship from now on? It's incredible!" Leo and Jose praised Windfire Wheel.

"Yeah! Great work, Windfire Wheel!" Mike and the others gave Windfire Wheel a thumbs-up as well.

"Haha... While it's all true, everyone should stop praising me. Keep going, and I'll really start getting proud." Windfire Wheel listened to their praise with a smug look, and his words could hardly have been less modest.

"Not bad. I'm very satisfied with the ship's exterior. Windfire Wheel, take us aboard and let us have a look." Rody was quite pleased with the vessel's appearance. It was both imposing and full of personal character.

"Yes, Captain." Windfire Wheel turned and led everyone toward the ship.

"Captain, this is the elevator used to board and disembark from the ship." A broad elevator appeared as one side of the ship opened. Windfire Wheel led everyone aboard, and they took it to the ship's third deck.

"This level's lawn was laid according to your instructions, Captain. Those ten orange trees over there were transplanted at Lady Nami's request, while the flowerbeds here were transplanted at Lady Robin's request. Both the orange trees and flowerbeds are equipped with intelligent irrigation systems. If either lady forgets to water them, the system will automatically take care of the irrigation." Windfire Wheel introduced everything to Rody, Robin, and Nami one by one.

"Mm, very good. I'm satisfied." Rody nodded approvingly.

"Windfire Wheel, what are these?" Leo asked, pointing at a row of machines on the deck.

"These are self-propelled laser cannons. They were originally intended for nighttime patrols, but now that the Terminator radar scanning system has been installed, they're not very useful anymore," Windfire Wheel explained to Leo.

Windfire Wheel led everyone through the ship's training room, testing room, library, kitchen, dining hall, armory, storage rooms, and more.

"Alright, Windfire Wheel. Have the Terminator robots take everyone to their own rooms now."

Rody took Nami and Robin and followed a Terminator robot with the number one marked on its clothing toward the captain's quarters.

A light screen popped up on the door to the captain's quarters. It scanned the three of them, then the door opened.

"Lord Rody, the captain's quarters are equipped with facial recognition and iris recognition. Other than the three of you and Princess Vivi, no one else is qualified to enter without your permission," Terminator One said.

Upon entering the captain's quarters, Rody found the entire space remarkably spacious. There were three bedrooms and a living room inside. The master bedroom was especially large, with a four-by-four-meter bed, while the two secondary bedrooms were somewhat smaller.

"This mirror is really nice." Nami struck all sorts of seductive poses before an enormous full-length mirror, fully displaying her graceful figure.

"It's not just the mirror. I think the entire layout of the captain's quarters is perfect, don't you?" Rody dropped onto the broad, soft sofa and smiled at Nami in front of the mirror.

"Of course Mr. Rody thinks it's perfect. Out of the three bedrooms, only your enormous master bedroom has a bathtub and shower system—and the shower room's glass is transparent." Robin poured herself a glass of red wine, slowly walked over, sat beside Rody on the sofa, and took a light sip.

"Exactly. It's just as you wished now. With a bed that big, you must be feeling awfully pleased with yourself." Nami sat down on Rody's other side and pinched his cheek.

"What's there to be pleased about? You're both my women. Wasn't this bound to happen sooner or later?" Rody spread his arms and pulled Nami and Robin into his embrace.

"Yeah, we're both your women. I just wonder how many more women a fickle man like you will have in the future." Nami stroked Rody's throat and sighed softly.

As the first woman Rody had after coming to the world of pirates, Nami had believed it was only a transaction and that she and Rody would never develop feelings. Given the brutality Rody had displayed when they first met, she had thought she would merely be his plaything—discarded once he grew tired of her, or perhaps even killed. But later, she discovered that was not the case. Rody actually cared about her feelings and opinions, though he would not necessarily listen to them. Perhaps this was what people meant by love growing over time.

"I can't make any promises about that, but you will always be the most special to me." Rody gently stroked Nami's back, not even knowing whether his own words were true or false.

"Oh? I'm special too? I thought only Nami was the most special to you. Besides, Nami often deliberately—or not so deliberately—shows off to me that she was your first woman!" Robin winked at Rody and smiled at Nami.

"When have I ever shown off? I really was Rody's first woman." Nami wore an innocent expression as she looked at Rody and winked as well.

"Rody, look at Nami. She's acting like this and still says she wasn't showing off." Robin looked toward Rody, a hint of coyness appearing in the gentle gaze on her mature, intellectual face.

"Alright." Seeing the usually poised and elegant Robin act so coyly, Rody could not help feeling his blood heat up.

"Mm~"

Nami was startled by Rody's sudden kiss. Robin was still right there, but then she stopped caring whether Robin was watching or not. Wrapping her arms around Rody's waist, her eyes filled with astonishing allure as she passionately kissed him back.

"Honestly, you're far too impatient. We haven't even prepared yet... though perhaps being unprepared is the best preparation." Robin's eyes were seductive as she wrapped both arms around Rody's neck and directly kissed his Adam's apple.

"Don't... there..."
