Chapter 531 - 371

Chapter 372: Attachment!Mornings in Dressrosa were always particularly gentle.Golden sunlight, slipping through the cracks of the ornate windows, fell like feathers, quietly landing on the messy, large bed.Luffy woke up nestled within fragrant, soft bodies.He didn't even need to open his eyes to clearly feel that blissful happiness, the kind that could make all Emperors kneel.In the crook of his left arm was Nami, curled up like a kitten.Her signature orange hair, soft as the finest silk, was spread across his chest, tickling him.Even in sleep, the corners of her mouth were upturned in a smile as sweet as could be, like a little demon whose scheme had succeeded.In the crook of his right arm was the intellectual and elegant Robin.She slept very quietly, her breathing steady and long. That mature, beautiful face of hers was peacefully nestled against his shoulder. That utterly unguarded dependence and trust made his whole heart feel like it was melting.Even after going crazy all night, he didn't feel tired at all.On the contrary, after thoroughly responding to his two lovers' overflowing possessiveness in the most primal way, he felt the power within his body, that Conqueror's Haki aura of supreme authority, seemed more tangible and more complete.A true King isn't just about conquering the seas.It's also about conquering the hearts of the women willing to give everything for him.Luffy opened his eyes, lowered his head, and gently kissed Nami's forehead.Then, he turned his head and placed an equally doting kiss on Robin's smooth cheek.As if sensing his movements, the two peerless beauties woke up almost simultaneously."Mmm... Idiot Captain... Is it morning already?"Nami rubbed her sleepy eyes, her voice hoarse as if from a hangover and still a bit lazy. She gave a dissatisfied, yet completely powerless, punch to Luffy's chest."You monster... don't you ever get tired?"Her face flushed red instantly, remembering the utterly insane sensations from earlier that morning, her body involuntarily heating up again."Hehe~~~"Robin beside her stretched elegantly, her perfect curves in the morning sunlight were simply lethal.She covered her mouth with a light laugh, her eyes that seemed to see through everything now dewy and full of captivating charm."Our Captain's capacity, whether in battle or in other areas, is truly bottomless.""It seems, if we want to satisfy our Captain in the future, just the two of us will have to work hard."The implied meaning in Robin's words made Nami's face instantly turn a shade of red that could drip blood."Robin! You... what nonsense are you saying!"Watching the two women flirt and bicker in his arms, Luffy grinned, his smile one of utter contentment.He suddenly stretched out his arms, pulling the two of them tightly into his embrace again, planting a firm kiss on each of their equally beautiful faces!!"Alright!! Time to get up!! We're setting off today!!!"...By the time the Straw Hat crew assembled once again on the deck of the Thousand sunny, the sun was already high in the sky.The entire Dressrosa seemed to have come alive.Countless citizens, spontaneously, poured out from every corner of the city, gathering at the harbor, surrounding the sea where the ship would depart until it was packed solid.On every face was the most genuine, heartfelt smile and gratitude.The cheers, like a tsunami, came wave after wave, crashing towards the Thousand sunny and the hearts of everyone on board."Luffy---!!!!""Hero---!!!!""Bon voyage---!!!!"Zoro leaned against the ship's railing, arms crossed over his chest, watching the scene of the entire city turning out. The corner of his mouth unconsciously lifted."Hmph, he really did... cause quite a stir, our Captain."Franky struck his signature pose directly, tears of emotion glistening in his eyes."Wahhh... This is... SUPER hero treatment!! It's so moving!!!"At the front of the crowd seeing them off at the harbor was the Riku family.King Riku straightened his royal robe and bowed deeply towards Luffy at the ship's bow, his eyes full of respect and gratitude.Viola stood beside him. Her eyes, capable of seeing through hearts, held a complicated look when she saw Nami and Robin standing radiantly by Luffy's sides, left and right, clinging to him like mistresses of the house.And Rebecca stood quietly at the very back of the crowd.She was no longer wearing that gorgeous princess dress, but had changed into neat, practical, easy-to-move-in casual clothes.She didn't cry, nor did she shout.She just stood there quietly, using her eyes, now brighter from being steeped in last night's tears and love, to stare unblinkingly at the man who had completely filled her heart.As if their hearts were connected.In the sea of people, Luffy's gaze accurately met hers.He saw the reluctance in her eyes, the love in her eyes, and even more, he saw that unique strength and pride belonging only to his woman.Luffy grinned at her, his smile brighter and more confident and domineering than the sun.He didn't make a sound, but mouthed two words to her."Wait for me."Rebecca's eyes instantly reddened.But she held back fiercely, not letting the tears fall.She just nodded forcefully, then raised her arm high, waving vigorously towards the lion ship about to sail into the distance.No need to say goodbye.Because, they would definitely meet again."Set sail!!!"With Luffy's command, Jinbe turned the helm. The Thousand sunny, amidst everyone's cheers and blessings, rode the wind and waves, leisurely sailing towards that vast, endless sea full of unknowns and adventure!Dressrosa's coastline gradually became a small black dot in everyone's eyes.The atmosphere on the ship instantly switched from the sadness of parting to infinite anticipation for the future!"Hey! Torao!"Luffy turned around and hooked an arm around the shoulder of Law, who was leaning against the railing, lost in who-knows-what daze."The Vivre Card for Bepo and the others! Hurry up and take it out to look!"A bit unaccustomed to Luffy's sudden intimate gesture, Law's eyebrow twitched.He took out a small, carefully kept fragment of a Vivre Card from his chest and handed it to Luffy.The Vivre Card in Luffy's hand, as if finding its anchor, began to tremble intensely, pointing firmly in a clear direction.He suddenly jumped up, landing on the Thousand sunny's iconic lion figurehead. Facing the oncoming sea wind, he spread his arms and announced to all his crewmates behind him in his voice brimming with infinite vitality and infectious energy:"Listen up, everyone!!!""Our next destination is decided!""Turn the helm towards that direction! Full speed ahead!!!""Target —""Zou!!!"(Dressrosa Arc — Concluded)
