Chapter 104
After enjoying two days of leisurely time on Sabaody Archipelago.
During the day they explored the islands, and at night Rorschach practiced "physical techniques" with the eight girls. It had to be said that both his body and mind were incredibly relaxed right now.
Inside the hall of the Ryūyū’s cabin.
Rorschach was holding a giant chocolate donut specially made by Mikita. This was a new special flavor she had developed after recently advancing to a top-class chef.
He was sitting on the sofa with Perona in his arms. With a mischievous smile, he held the donut in front of her.
Perona’s eyes sparkled. Her little nose twitched a few times as she caught the rich chocolate aroma.
"Want some?" Rorschach asked with a grin.
"Mhm! Ahhh~~~"
Perona nodded eagerly and opened her mouth wide to take a big bite, but she bit nothing but air.
"Hm?"
She turned her head and saw Rorschach laughing as he lifted the donut higher.
"I can’t just give it to you for free. If you want it, you need to give me a little reward first. Understand?"
Rorschach tapped his own cheek and leaned in closer. His intention was obvious.
"Hmph, no way," Perona puffed out her cheeks, still holding a grudge from being teased earlier.
"Oh really? That’s too bad. Mikita’s special chocolate donut... I guess you won’t get to eat it then."
Even though Perona was angrily puffing her cheeks, Rorschach remained calm. He took a small bite of the donut and sighed in satisfaction.
"Mmm~~ Mikita’s skills have really improved. The chocolate tastes better and better."
Rorschach showed a pleased smile as he commented on the donut’s texture and the richness of the chocolate.
"Hmph, I’ll just go ask Mikita to make me one later. I’d rather jump off the ship than beg a big bully like you."
Even though drool was starting to leak from the corner of her mouth, Perona stubbornly turned her head away, determined to get her own from Mikita later.
"Eh, what a shame. Mikita can only make one of these special chocolate donuts per day. How am I going to eat such a delicious treat every day? What should I do?"
Rorschach gave a playful smile. Only one per day — he knew she wouldn’t be able to resist.
"What?!?!" Perona’s eyes widened into an "O" shape. She then gritted her teeth and muttered quietly, "How despicable." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Her little nose kept twitching as she smelled the rich chocolate scent, which constantly tempted her taste buds.
In the end, she couldn’t hold back anymore. She closed her eyes and leaned in.
"Now can you give it to me?!" Perona said with a red face, reaching out her hand.
"Here you go."
Having achieved his goal, Rorschach generously handed over the donut.
After taking it, Perona bit into it eagerly and showed an expression of pure bliss (the classic "it’s so good" face).
It seemed Mikita’s special donut perfectly suited her taste and had completely conquered her palate.
Aside from the two "divine attendants" and Robin, most of the crew had been teased like this by him in the beginning. It was his way of getting closer to them.
The two divine attendants were basically freebies, so teasing wasn’t necessary. In fact, they were usually the ones serving him.
Robin, being a mature older-sister type, didn’t fall for this. She would always reject him with a sly smile, and Rorschach’s helpless expression always amused her, making her laugh softly every time.
Unknowingly, their relationship had grown much closer this way, and Rorschach considered half his goal already achieved.
Reiju, another mature older-sister type, was the complete opposite of Robin. No matter what seductive tricks Rorschach used, she would accept them all without hesitation and even seduce him back.
Especially after returning from their two-year separation, Reiju had become extremely "giving." Rorschach had almost no resistance against her now. A little temptation from her and he would follow obediently.
Out of the twelve crew members, eight had already been "conquered." Robin was the hardest to deal with, while Vivi and Perona were the easiest to fool.
Kalifa had already taken on the role of Rorschach’s secretary. Though she was called a secretary, Rorschach barely had any actual work for her to handle.
Bang.
Suddenly, the sound of a door opening rang out.
Nami pushed the door open and walked in.
"Rorschach, I heard there’s going to be an auction on Island 1 today. Do you want to go check it out?"
Nami waved a few newspaper-like documents at him. She and Karina had obtained them while gathering intelligence in the Underworld.
They contained various news and information about Sabaody Archipelago, including details about some of the auction items on Island 1.
"Oh? An auction? The human auction on Island 1. If I remember correctly, that’s Doflamingo’s territory, right?"
Rorschach took the papers and looked through them, then rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
Island 1 was the location of the human auction, but it also featured famous swords, Devil Fruits, and other rare items.
"I heard it’s mainly a human auction, but this time there’s a major item — an unknown Devil Fruit!"
Nami excitedly told Rorschach the information she had gathered in the Underworld.
Every time a Devil Fruit appeared, it caused a huge stir at the auction.
Although items had listed prices, Devil Fruits were always in short supply.
The same went for rare creatures like mermaids, which appeared very infrequently — sometimes not even once a year. Whether one showed up was purely luck.
But every time one did appear, it would shake the entire Underworld of Sabaody. Countless nobles and even Celestial Dragons would personally come to compete.
"An unknown Devil Fruit? Sounds interesting. Since we’ve already explored most of the fun places on Sabaody, we might as well go check it out."
Rorschach put away the papers with an intrigued look.
"I knew you’d be interested in that Devil Fruit," Nami said with a bright smile. Then her nose suddenly twitched a few times as she looked at Perona, who was wearing a blissful expression.
"Hm? Perona-chan, what are you eating? It smells really good."
Nami had caught the rich chocolate aroma and asked curiously.
"This? It’s Mikita’s super special donut that she can only make one of per day! It’s incredibly delicious!"
Perona happily explained to her friend.
"It does smell great. This is a new creation Mikita made after becoming a top-class pastry chef. Want to try some?" freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Rorschach nodded and took out a whole plate of donuts from his storage space.
"Eh?! You big meanie Captain! You said she could only make one per day! So you were lying to me!"
Perona, who had just been lost in happiness after finishing her donut, was stunned when Rorschach suddenly pulled out a whole plate. She then turned into an angry shark-toothed expression and grabbed his collar.
"Well, don’t get mad. These are made from leftover scraps mixed with other chocolate. They’re still very tasty, but not quite as good as the one you just ate."
Rorschach patted her head and chuckled lightly.
Perona huffed and grabbed another donut. Sure enough, while it tasted good, it wasn’t quite as amazing as the first one.
She now realized she had misunderstood Rorschach. He hadn’t lied to her.
Realizing her mistake, Perona lowered her head and quietly apologized.
Rorschach didn’t mind. He smiled and gently stroked her head.
