[We can't let anyone find out]
Right in front of me stands Nefertari Cobra, the 12th king of Arabasta. He seems different from the first time I met him. Now, he looks more at ease, as if a heavy weight has been lifted off his shoulders.
By simply smiling more, he began to shift how many people viewed him. It's interesting how his friendly demeanor sometimes can make others forget that he's a king.
One more thing I admire about him is how he bounced back from his slump in no time. Because of Mister 2, also known as Bon Clay, who used his devil fruit powers to impersonate him, the people of Arabasta experienced a deep trauma regarding their king. In response, Nefertari Cobra worked tirelessly to rebuild their trust and mend the rift that had formed.
"He is an intriguing old man," I remarked softly, watching Nefertari Cobra bid farewell to my girls. But it seems like someone is listening. Out of nowhere, Vivi appeared right next to me and said:
"He's stubborn. I've lost count of how many times I've told him to take a break, but he just won't listen."
Vivi let out a soft sigh and continued, "Umm, Luffy, before you head out, could we chat for a minute?"
"Feel free to open up. I'm here to hear it all-" Just as I was about to wrap up my sentence, Vivi slipped out of the bustling throne room, leaving the noise and chatter behind her. She glanced back one final time before her silhouette faded away into the distance.
With no other option in sight, I decided to follow her. As I stepped outside, I was completely captivated by Vivi's stunning smile. She took her time to smooth down her light blue hair, but as the wind picked up outside, she quickly lost her motivation, feeling a sense of uncertainty wash over her.
Since it was a formal event, she decided to wear her princess outfit, and I have to say, it suited her perfectly. A white and pink dress with suspenders fit snugly against her slender figure, accentuating her curves and drawing attention to her breasts in a subtle yet striking way. The white high-heeled sandals, adorned with shimmering gold ornaments, made it clear to everyone that she was the most stunning jewel on this desert island.
With her hands clasped behind her back, Vivi shot me a look that clearly said it was time for me to join her by her side. We both fell quiet for a bit, soaking in the vibrant atmosphere of the sprawling city in the distance.
"I know I've said this many times, but I really am so grateful to you and your friends," Vivi finally expressed what had been on her mind, though there was a hint of something more as her cheeks began to flush a soft shade of red.
"How many times do I have to remind you that we're just fulfilling our duty as marines?"
Vivi simply nodded, as if she thought I was just being humble and didn't want to add to her concerns. I wouldn't say she's entirely off base in her thinking, but I've got my sights set on something much larger than simply saving her kingdom.
But for the time being, she doesn't need to know about that.
"I think that our meeting at Whiskey Peak was meant to be. You wouldn't believe how many marines have shown up in our kingdom, yet they haven't really made a difference. So, when I first heard you wanted to lend a hand, I was skeptical."
The sparkle in Vivi's eyes grew even brighter, a mix of confusion as she tried to figure out where to focus her gaze. Eventually, she chose to lower her head, and just like that, the atmosphere fell into a quiet stillness once more.
"Don't get too happy just yet. You know Crocodile is likely still out there, right?" I didn't want to stress Vivi out, but I figured I could at least bring back a touch of seriousness for her. "So, you need to learn to be a strong princess that everyone can rely on. If there ever comes a day when your kingdom faces danger again, you'll know exactly how to handle it."
"Somehow I feel like you are mocking me, but I assure you, I won't allow anything harmful to come to my cherished kingdom again."
It was just the two of us out here —I didn't even spot a single guard anywhere around. I decided to step out of my comfort zone and do something bold. My fingers gently brushed against hers, and then I took her hand in mine, holding it firmly.
Vivi kept her hand right where it was, though I could tell she was surprised by my actions. Her eyes grew wide as she looked at me, and then the familiar flush of redness crept back into her cheeks.
"Since I pretty much let Crocodile slip away, I guess I'll take the blame," I said with a grin. There was no need to stress about Vivi not paying attention. She was completely focused on me.
"H-Hehh... H-How are you planning to take responsibility?"
I could sense her nervousness, and it only intensified as my hand gently stroked hers over and over. The vibe shifted around us, becoming more ambiguous as the lively chatter and activity of the throne room slowly faded away.
"I'll swing by every now and then to check in on you. Does that work for you?"
Her lips shimmered in the sunlight, constantly moistened as she couldn't help but lick them, while her eyes grew misty and unfocused. I have to admit. It was hard for me to stay completely calm when the princess in front of me started making those adorable faces.
From her hands, I could sense the warmth beginning to spread, enveloping me in a comforting embrace. I could tell she felt the same way. When I moved in closer, it was like she had been anticipating my next move all along.
Not wanting to wait any longer, I leaned in and pressed my lips to hers. At that moment, a rush of emotions surged through me, filling my heart with an overwhelming warmth. I never imagined I could form such a close bond with her. I felt utterly lost just gazing at her beautiful face.
"U-Umm, I'm sorry, i should have known we shouldn't-"
What nonsense is she talking about? I can't just let her walk away with that silly little kiss. So, I quickly interrupted her by kissing her again. My hands gently cupped her cheeks, and I was reluctant to let go of this blissful moment so soon.
With my hands gently resting on her neck and the back of her head, I leaned in to give Vivi a deep kiss that left her forgetting to breathe. The only opportunity she had came when I softly bit her full lips and playfully sucked on her tongue. Despite that, she still struggled to catch her breath.
I realized that this kiss was overwhelming for the innocent Vivi. her life as a princess kept her distant from experiences like this. She even had that look in her eyes like she was on the verge of tears, but I didn't hold back. I wanted her to truly understand just how much I desired her.
When I finally came to a stop, Vivi's expression was a mix of shock and confusion. The saliva dripping from her mouth only added to her pitiful state, yet she remained blissfully unaware of how aroused it made me feel.
"You look so hot, Vivi," I said, and I couldn't help but notice her ears turning a bright shade of red in response. She didn't appear angry, but there was this unmistakable vibe that made me sense she wanted to take a step back.
"Luffy, I believe that I-"
Of course, I wasn't about to let her just walk away and leave me hanging here. So, without a second thought, I took her hand and guided her back into the palace. I decided not to take her back to the throne room just yet. I wanted to savor our time together, just the two of us.
"Princess Vivi, where are you? Everyone is looking for you... Ma~ma~ma~..."
As we rounded the corner in the hallway, we caught the sound of Igaram's voice echoing as he called out for Vivi. The old man with the powdered wig was a real piece of work, always managing to get under my skin. But honestly, I can't entirely fault him. After all, his princess vanished during a crucial moment, and that's bound to rattle anyone.
I'm pretty sure he's fuming right now, and there's not much he can do except stay angry. After all, not only is Vivi by my side, but I'm also planning to fuck her virgin pussy hard.
"We can't let anyone find out," I murmured softly into Vivi's ear. I wrapped my arms around her to keep her from doing something impulsive that might alert Igaram to our presence. "So, which room is yours?"
Once Vivi shared the location with me, we began to tread more cautiously down the palace corridor, our footsteps echoing softly until we finally reached her room. Out of nowhere, she caught me off guard as she quickly locked the door and said:
"Listen Luffy, we can't do this. I don't think I'm ready for this."
Vivi leaned her body against the door, her gaze fixed on me, filled with a mix of uncertainty and curiosity. With the previous euphoria fading significantly, she could think clearly once more. I could tell she was already aware of our next steps as her body continued to tremble, hinting that she still craved more.
"Are you asking me to wait until our next meeting? You know I can't keep it in for too long, and I'm pretty sure you feel the same way," I replied with a playful tease. As soon as Vivi struggled to find the right words, I stood before her.
As I leaned closer to her neck, the unique aroma of Arabasta's signature perfume blended with her natural scent, creating an intoxicating mix that was hard to resist. My hand softly glided over her chest before I let it travel down to her crotch with a gentle touch.
"You don't understand… If we go through with this, you will be forced to marry me. Being a princess since birth, I can tell that you might not enjoy the whole nobility scene."
