When the Snipe and the Clam Fight (continued)

Oh no, I was so excited I completely forgot that this was even a possibility!

What to do? Pick the lock?

Making too much noise might attract attention from others.

Are we supposed to go around through Naito's window? But there are marines patrolling outside the villa!

What to do?

Just as Ain was deep in thought, another door next to Naito's room opened.

"You wretched woman, what are you doing!"

Wearing red pajamas and carrying a pillow, Hancock swaggered out of her room and immediately spotted Ain standing in front of Naito's door.

In particular, she got a good look at Ain's attire.

The Pirate Empress was instantly enraged, "You woman, are you trying to harass Naito? I will not allow it!"

Ain suddenly gritted her teeth.

Damn it!

That stinky woman still found out!

"This is none of your business! Go back!"

Ain turned around and stared intently at Hancock.

That stinking pirate is still clutching his pillow, so he really wants to attack Naito, huh? Damn woman, you're committing a crime! You should be sent to Impel Down!

Hancock didn't back down, striding over and looking down at Ain with her height advantage. "I'll say it one last time, Naito is mine. You woman, stay away from Naito, or I won't hesitate to turn you to stone!"

"Go ahead and try!"

Ain did not back down.

Don't underestimate my romantic heart!

Just because you're stronger, you expect me to give up?

What a joke! That's the mindset of a weakling!

"So, what are you all doing making noise here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

Naito, who was remotely controlling World, opened the door expressionlessly and looked at the two women arguing in front of it.

"Naito!" x2

Both women turned to look at Naito at the same time.

"Yeah, it's certainly getting lively. I thought a fight had broken out."

At the corner of the corridor, Gion, dressed in her pajamas, Vice Admiral against the wall, her expression one of great interest.

Naito glanced at her sideways.

Gion- senpai, who is usually very gentle, seems a bit strange now.

"Naito, I want to sleep with you."

Hancock immediately moved closer to Naito.

Naito grabbed her face and shoved her away. "Don't talk nonsense."

Sengoku did indeed ask him to take care of this woman, but to take care of her in bed seemed a bit unreasonable.

"Hmm! Still not working? What a cold-hearted man!"

Hancock lamented.

"Naito, let me in."

Ain's expression immediately calmed down, and she looked up to look directly at Naito.

Perhaps this is what they mean by having a thunderous mind but a calm demeanor—worthy of being a general. Ain, you have the makings of a general.

"Naito, let little Ain go in."

A quiet path Vice Admiral Gion.

You wouldn't believe it until you see it; just look at the dress Ain is wearing now, and you'll know how much determination she put into it.

Don't even think about it!

Hancock suddenly sprang to attention, grabbing Ain's hand and dragging her towards her room. "Naito, we won't disturb your sleep! Get some rest!"

Hey! You stinking woman! What are you doing!

Ain immediately began to struggle violently.

Is this woman trying to drag herself down with her just because Naito rejected her?!

"We're heading to the New World tomorrow, you brat, don't disturb Naito's rest!"

Hancock's words were righteous and forceful.

But her exquisitely beautiful features were now somewhat distorted. Damn woman, how could I allow you to enter Naito's room!

Ain was far too weak for Hancock, and she was almost dragged into Hancock's room. She could only plead with Naito for help, "Naito— "

"Have a good rest."

Naito said calmly.

Sleeping with Ain is fine, but if that happens, Hancock definitely won't let it go tonight.

Since that's the case, Ain 'm sorry to have troubled you.

"Naito!"

Hancock dragged Ain into her room, threw Ain onto her bed, and locked the door behind her.

"You vile woman! I'll kill you!"

Ain immediately flipped herself up, and peach-pink flames erupted from her hands.

"Bring it on!"

Hancock leaned back, looking down her nose at Ain, "I will never let you disturb Naito's rest!"

"..."

Ain was practically gritting her teeth.

Such a great opportunity tonight, and we missed it all because of this bastard woman!

She extinguished the flame in her hand, sat back on the bed, and stared intently at Hancock. "You're not leaving tonight either!"

"Tsk."

Hancock plopped down on the sofa in the room, clearly annoyed. She had indeed considered sneaking out while the woman was asleep.

But it seems that opportunity is no longer available.

So she looked at Ain as well.

She couldn't give this woman any chance.

The two began to stare at each other.

The two of them focused all their attention on each other.

Outside the door.

"You're really popular, Naito."

A quiet path Vice Admiral Gion.

Naito glanced at her. "At this point, is this still something to lament?"

"Yeah, he's Naito after all."

Gion nodded slightly.

Go to bed early.

Naito prepared to close the door.

"Ain, you're very brave, aren't you?"

Gion's voice came again.

"Um?"

Naito's hand, which was closing the door, paused, because Gion was walking over.

Under the dim light, the woman's expression was somewhat ambiguous.

"I've never hidden my feelings for you, and I confessed directly. Tonight, I even wore a sexy dress, hoping to take things further with you."

Gion's voice was very soft, like a gentle breeze brushing past Naito's ear.

"But actually, I'm quite brave; it's just that I realized it a little late."

Naito calmly observed the woman.

Ugh, this never ends.

"After G-14 Base is rebuilt, I'll be serving as the deputy base commander for Professor Zephyr, while you'll be leading the Marine Guerrilla Unit on patrols. It'll be difficult to see each other again, right?"

Gion raised her head, a sly glint in her eyes on her beautiful face. "Naito, you said you wouldn't refuse any girl you don't dislike who expresses her feelings for you."

Without waiting for Naito's reply, the woman wrapped her arms around his neck and gently kissed his lips.

Naito paused slightly, but didn't react.

Gion slowly released Naito, her face already flushed, but her watery eyes remained fixed on Naito. The beauty said coquettishly, "Really, this was my first kiss! Are you really going to be so calm? At least be proud a little! You're the man who made me, and even Marine Vice Admiral Momousagi, fall for you."

"You're the one who should be proud."

Naito remained calm as always, "To receive my kiss."

"What an oblivious man!"

Gion couldn't help but want to laugh, but she held it back. "But there's nothing I can do. Love is just so irrational, isn't it? When we were fighting against Golden Lion together, I knew I was doomed. To be honest, I was incredibly nervous just now. What if you pushed me away? What if you hated me too? But thankfully, you didn't."

"I feel a little sorry for Ain, but she didn't date you, did she? You're such a jerk, you don't discriminate."

"And,"

Gion's voice gradually lowered, almost a murmur, as she gently placed her hand on Naito's chest. "It's all her fault. I didn't intend to do anything; she was the one who tried to run away first."

"I'll have no choice but to do something greedy."

As she spoke, she tried to push Naito into the room.

But who is Naito? Her main strength is stability! She can't easily push him around.

Gion's face stiffened.

Immediately, the usually gentle woman's face hardened. "You filthy man, do you think you can escape? Tonight, you're mine!"

She lunged forward, throwing herself into Naito's arms and knocking him into the room.
