Ain Stakes Her Claim, the Empress Falls Ill! (Continued)

A bunch of idiots.

In this situation, the Pirate Empress only needs to think a word, and everyone will be instantly turned to stone without any resistance.

Ultimately, the combination of Love-Love Fruit and a top-tier beauty is indeed a bit too much for men.

Even women like Ain looked at the Empress with a hint of amazement, not to mention the male marines.

What a beautiful woman!

"Royal sister! Have a safe journey!"

On the shore, the Empress's two younger sisters were saying goodbye to Empress.

Only Boa Hancock herself was conscripted; no one else was allowed to accompany her, just as during the Paramount War.

"Sonia, Mari, I'm counting on you two for the country!"

Although Boa Hancock was arrogant and willful, she cared a lot about the country she ruled, and carefully gave her two younger sisters instructions before leaving.

"Leave it to us!"

The two younger sisters responded loudly.

At the same time, Binz, who had finally recovered from the shock of the Empress's beauty, suddenly thought of something.

He turned around and looked at Naito, whose expression was calm.

Just now, did this Pirate Empress address Naito as—

Naito,

After saying goodbye to her two younger sisters, the Empress walked over, dragging her luggage.

The woman's already flawless face, which had previously exuded an air of arrogance, had now completely vanished, replaced by a faint blush like the warm winter sun.

Her eyes, as she looked at Naito, were filled with the joyful excitement of a fawn in the forest.

"I'll be relying on you from now on."

Right!

This is it!!

Binz screamed inwardly.

The Pirate Empress affectionately calls Naito "Naito"!

Didn't she just get a good beating from Naito? Why is she calling him by his first name so affectionately now?

Is she a masochist?

"Care?"

Naito smirked. "The only thing I'm doing for you is to behave yourself on my ship."

"What a cold-hearted man."

The Empress bit her lip slightly, her eyes flickering with a hint of grievance. "Now that things have come to this, how could I possibly continue to act recklessly in front of you?"

So cute!

Even Ain had this thought in her mind at that moment, and she even wanted to say something to comfort her.

But immediately, Ain felt a chill run down her spine.

What a terrifying woman! No wonder Naito wouldn't let the Marines face her!

But.

Ain immediately realized something else.

Why is the Pirate Empress so kind to Naito?

No, this attitude is not friendly.

Ain stared intently at the Empress.

That look, that expression... it's so familiar!

"Hey, Naito— "

Binz placed his hand tremblingly on Naito's shoulder, his voice tinged with anxiety.

"What do you mean by 'it's come to this'? You absolutely mustn't make a mistake!"

There was indeed some jealousy, but more than that, there was concern for my good brother.

Naito has a bright future ahead of him; we mustn't let him get into trouble because of messing around with women.

Naito rolled his eyes slightly. "Ain, take her to the room we arranged for her."

"Good."

Ain nodded slightly.

Fortunately, Naito's attitude was normal.

"Um?"

Hancock's gaze finally shifted from Naito and gradually settled on Ain's face.

The Pirate Empress's expression changed abruptly, her eyes instantly becoming wary. "Naito, who is this woman?"

Without changing her expression, Ain stepped forward and calmly said, "I am Vice Admiral Naito's secretary, Lieutenant Commander Ain of the Marine Headquarters Marine Guerrilla Unit Force."

"Secretary?"

"So, Naito's men, right?" Hancock said.

"That's true, but I have another identity."

With that, Ain turned around decisively, grabbed Naito's collar, and kissed Naito lips on tiptoe.

Wow! Sister Ain is so bold!

Sanji sincerely praised it.

As expected of Sister Ain!

They showed no weakness in the face of threats, and launched the strongest counterattack ever!

Hey! You stinky woman! What are you doing?

Hancock panicked instantly, quickly walked over, and reached out to pull Ain away.

Naito, with his arm around Ain's slender waist, casually turned to the side, avoiding the Empress's hand.

"Naito!!"

The Pirate Empress's eyes widened in fury, and Return two steps, her face pale.

The innocent Empress had no idea what was going on; all she knew was that she watched that woman kiss Naito, and Naito wouldn't let her stop him!

Her heart was breaking.

The woman's expression instantly turned tearful, and tears almost immediately fell.

Binz was completely dumbfounded.

Even a fool could tell something was wrong with this woman's reaction.

Wait, Naito, are you a succubus?

How come beating this woman has somehow made her fall deeply in love with him?

Naito then released Ain, his tone still calm, "No kissing your boss during work hours. Don't do it again."

Ain blushed slightly. "Understood, Vice Admiral Naito."

Then, Major Ain, with a slight smug smile, looked at the tearful, defeated woman and said, "Alright, Pirate Empress, please come with me. I'll take you to your room."

"Naito..."

The Empress's voice trembled, her eyes glistening with tears, "Is this woman your wife?"

Even the Pirate Empress, who isn't very clear about matters of the heart, knows that only the closest people can kiss.

So, is this woman Naito's closest person?

But why do I feel so sad inside?

Before Naito could answer, Ain smiled and said, "Not yet, but it will be in the future."

Not yet!

For some reason, Hancock felt a little happier; some color returned to her pale face, and her tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

I suddenly felt much better.

But Naito didn't reject the woman's kiss...

"Alright, how long is this farce going to go on?"

Naito was getting impatient. "Boa Hancock, now come with Ain to your room and stay there quietly. Don't come out unless you have to. Someone will bring you food every day."

Sanji immediately looked at Naito with even more admiration.

It has to be Brother Naito!

Even when faced with a woman like the Pirate Empress, he remained completely unmoved!

"Naito..."

The Empress bit her lip, looking somewhat aggrieved, and said, "I don't want this woman to lead the way. You lead me there yourself."

Naito frowned immediately. "Are you ordering me around? I said no one is allowed to act recklessly on my ship. Do you remember your answer?"

"Hmm—"

Boa Hancock lowered her eyes, her vision blurry with tears, and nodded gently, like a wronged wife. "I understand."

She looked at Ain resentfully, "Lead the way!"

Ain's lips curled slightly. "Please follow me."

As she spoke, she reached out and took Naito's hand, then turned and walked into the cabin.

The Pirate Empress dragged her luggage, looking at Naito with reluctance, wishing Naito would call out to her.

But no, Naito didn't even lift her eyelids; she could only slowly follow Ain into the cabin.

"Hiss—hiss—hiss—"

Binz gasped repeatedly as he circled Naito, his eyes darting furtively over Naito's body.

Are you a vacuum cleaner?

Naito, impatient, kicked the guy in the butt, sending Binz sprawling face-first into the dirt.

"Naito, could it be,"

Binz didn't seem to care. He turned around, his face serious. "You're not actually Devil Fruit User?"

"Oh?"
