Heh, Men!

Galette stretched lazily in the bath, exposing a breathtakingly pale cleavage.

"But that bastard really is powerful. He and Mama actually turned half of Cake Island into ruins, and even Mama couldn't do anything to him."

"Thinking about it, serving him like that a few days ago wasn't much of a loss. After all, he's a powerhouse comparable to Mama."

"Pah, pah, pah... Galette, what are you thinking? Do you have masochistic tendencies? He humiliated you like that, yet you're still making excuses for him..."

"What do you mean, humiliated? You were quite resistant at first, but didn't you start enjoying it later?" A teasing voice sounded. A spatial vortex appeared, and Nangong Yan emerged in the bathroom as Galette stared in shock.

In truth, Nangong Yan had not truly left. More precisely, he had only left Cake Island. Since he had come all the way to Totto Land, he naturally intended to enjoy himself to the fullest.

Nangong Yan changed his appearance and disguise, then visited the other islands for a thorough tour, sampling only the finest desserts each island had to offer.

By the time he finished eating, even after choosing only the best treats, it was already late at night. Since it was so late, Nangong Yan did not plan to leave in a hurry.

He casually caught a soldier, used the Mangekyo Sharingan to hypnotize him into revealing Galette's address, erased the soldier's memories, and then headed to Galette's home.

Nangong Yan intended to relive an old dream. In this world, the strong could do whatever they pleased anyway.

The fact that Nangong Yan had not insisted on taking her by force already showed immense restraint over his desires. The remnants of Earth's morality still bound him. Though those restraints had become faint, they truly still existed.

Seeing Nangong Yan suddenly appear before her, Galette's mind went blank before she instinctively tried to scream.

Nangong Yan leaned forward and swiftly covered Galette's red lips. His legs trembled slightly as he said in a somewhat carefree tone, "I'm not afraid of you screaming. You people can't do anything to me anyway. But with you looking like this, wouldn't it be a little inappropriate to call someone in?"

"How you choose is up to you."

After saying that, Nangong Yan released his hand from Galette's mouth. Galette lowered her head to inspect her current state and wisely chose to remain silent.

"You're quite sensible. I appreciate that."

Galette rolled her eyes and asked irritably, "Didn't you leave? Why did you come back? Are you plotting something?"

"You asked so many questions at once. How am I supposed to answer?" Nangong Yan lightly complained. "I came because I wanted to, and I'll leave when I want to. I went elsewhere to try some desserts."

"Big Mom may only be good at having children and nothing else, but her taste in desserts is quite good. The desserts are delicious."

"You're not allowed to insult Mama!" Like an enraged lioness, Galette immediately stood up from the bath and glared furiously at Nangong Yan.

"Alright, alright, I won't. Though it seems they've gotten a little bigger."

"What got bigger? That came out of nowhere." Galette rolled her eyes. Then she suddenly sensed something was wrong. Feeling a chill across her body, she followed Nangong Yan's gaze. Her head immediately buzzed, and she instinctively tried to scream.

Nangong Yan immediately wrapped an arm around Galette's waist, his lips covering her red ones and silencing her cry.

Galette's eyes widened as she immediately began struggling. She thought that she was no longer his captive, so she naturally could not let him do whatever he wanted.

Unfortunately, the gap in strength between them was too vast. Their strength was not even on the same level. One of Nangong Yan's arms was like an iron hoop, firmly restraining Galette.

Though Nangong Yan had not been an experienced veteran in his previous life, he was no novice either. He had some practical knowledge, though not much. As for theoretical knowledge, while he could not be called a master, he could certainly be called an expert. The vast collections of the broad and omnipotent netizens were simply too immense.

Several minutes later, Galette's ears and neck had been flushed red. She panted heavily, her eyes hazy. Her hands, which had originally been pushing against him, wrapped around Nangong Yan's neck instead as she began responding to him.

Rip... The sound of tearing cloth rang out. Nangong Yan's body shuddered, and his clothes instantly became scraps that fluttered through the spacious bathroom.

With a splash, water sounded continuously, milk-white ripples spreading outward as the panting in the bathroom grew increasingly intense.

"You bastard, what are you doing? Move that thing away," Galette said irritably, her tone carrying both anticipation and panic.

"Don't worry, I won't go too far," Nangong Yan promised with a foolish grin.

Hearing Nangong Yan say that, Galette stopped talking.

Having grown up beside Big Mom, Galette naturally had high standards from a young age. Ordinary men simply could not catch her eye.

Now that she had encountered a super powerhouse comparable to her mother, Galette's resistance was not so strong. The fact that he had not forcibly taken her was already not bad.

A quarter of an hour later, a sudden scream rang out, sharp and piercing as it instantly echoed throughout the villa.

Nangong Yan secretly felt pleased, praising his own foresight. Fortunately, before entering, he had used the Mangekyo Sharingan to trap the surrounding guards in an illusion. Otherwise, even if they had been hypnotized, this sound might have jolted them awake.

"You big bastard, you liar, didn't... didn't you say you wouldn't go too far?" A crimson color spread through the snow-white milk. Galette's body stiffened as she collapsed into Nangong Yan's arms, tears in her beautiful eyes as she accused him.

"Well, sorry. I was young and hot-blooded, so I lost control for a moment," Nangong Yan said somewhat guiltily.

"You bastard!" Galette cursed angrily.

"Fine, I'm sorry. I admit it, Galette, you're too beautiful. I couldn't hold back." Nangong Yan's words were as sweet as honey as he praised her.

Heh, men!

Hearing him call her beautiful, Galette felt a burst of delight. Though she was still somewhat upset, what was done was done, and Nangong Yan had already softened his stance.

His willingness to soften was already giving her enough face. The law of the jungle was the rule of this world. Galette, who had grown up in a pirate crew, understood that deeply and had seen far too much of the dark side of the world. At the same time, a strange sensation rose within her, making her unwilling to pursue the matter any further.

"Forget it. Giving myself to a man like you isn't exactly humiliating..." Galette said, her face flushed.

That night, a beautiful melody echoed throughout the villa.

That night, the battlefield constantly changed. The sofa in the hall, the kitchen, before the windows, the bedroom, and even the rooftop were all left with traces of battle.

As a ray of morning sunlight spilled into the bedroom, Galette held a pitch-black dagger and stared at Nangong Yan with a complicated expression. After a long while, she sighed, returned the dagger to the bedside drawer, and lay down to sleep.

Once Galette had fallen asleep, Nangong Yan opened his eyes. His scarlet Mangekyo Sharingan looked mysterious and sinister. He rose, glanced at Galette, and said softly, "You really are a sensible woman. You made the most correct choice!"

After putting on a fresh set of clothes and leaving behind a note, Nangong Yan's body turned illusory and vanished into a spatial vortex.

Becoming his woman was not so simple. It was not something that happened after merely spending one night together. After one night, Nangong Yan would only take somewhat better care of her. But a woman whom Nangong Yan truly acknowledged as his own would gain the right to speak to him as an equal and receive his wholehearted protection.

That morning, while Galette was still asleep and Nangong Yan was leaving Totto Land, intelligence sent by spies had already reached the desks of the Navy's upper ranks and the World Government's high officials.

The Navy's upper ranks and the World Government's high officials all looked displeased. Not only had the culprit who had caused the World Government and Navy to lose so much face gone unpunished, he had even become famous across the seas. It was a blatant slap in the face.

The World Government and Navy hurriedly raised Nangong Yan's bounty. The enormous bounty of one hundred million Beli drove countless people mad. At the same time, they dispatched a large number of intelligence agents to secretly monitor the Demon Emperor Pirates. The moment an opportunity appeared, they would strike like thunder and eliminate Nangong Yan and his subordinates in one fell swoop.

Ever since Nangong Yan had kidnapped a Celestial Dragon, extorted the World Government, and remained at large, several people who did not know their own limits had tried to imitate him. Their endings had naturally been deaths without burial places.

Though there had been no losses, could the precedent of kidnapping Celestial Dragons and extorting the World Government be allowed to stand?

Countless news birds flew through the Four Blues, the Grand Line, and the Red Line, spreading news throughout the world that Nangong Yan had fought Big Mom evenly, had his bounty raised, had established the Demon Emperor Pirates, and had occupied the seas near Fragrant Rice Island.

For a time, the world was shaken. If Nangong Yan had previously become famous because of an undeservedly massive bounty, he was now famous because he truly deserved it.

Though Nangong Yan had already proven his strength, the world never lacked blindly confident and wildly ambitious people. Countless individuals secretly eyed Nangong Yan's head.
