[60] Three Kisses

Chapter 60: Three Kisses

—

The sun was gently aloft over the blue sky; dotted with puffs of cloud. In the East Blue sea, the floating restaurant that was Baratie was basking under the morning sunlight.

There was the Sail of Ohara, the ship of the yet-to-be officially announced Senju Pirates. It was docked side by side with the Baratie, and currently, it was barren of any passengers.

Zooming into the Baratie, one would find the entire crew—excluding one duck—alive and working.

The wooden ship that was decorated with flowers of all kinds, now looked like it was made with richer woods. The entire facility looked better than usual, and it appeared as if it was built just yesterday.

There were no customers yet, as it wasn't opening hour, but the kitchen was active. The head chef, the sous chef, and the other chefs were all in their bedrooms. They were sleeping more relaxed than usual, due to the recent free upgrade their workplace had received.

Only the intern chef, Mikita, was in the kitchen as she was brewing tea for the crew. She served it in front of everyone, taking a cup for herself.

The four of them then separated, each focusing on their own things while drinking tea.

Robin read a book while sitting at a table. Vivi was at another table in the far, as she watched the sea while lost in thoughts.

Meanwhile, Mikita and Hashirama –the Main– were in another corner. As she stood beside a window, basking in the sunlight, where her skin shone, Mikita wore a cute chef dress and chatted with him.

"Hey, how is the tea?"

"Better than before. Barely, though. I think you need to work on the sugar level. You're too focused on trying to make it seem perfect–so while it is perfect in your super tongue, it's not the case in our peasant tongue."

"Mhm… all right, thank you for the feedback."

The two chatted for a while before Mikita went into the kitchen to cook breakfast. To her annoyance, she was followed by Hashirama.

"Why're you following me into the kitchen, butler boy? Shoo, you'll ruin the food."

"Damn, how rude."

"Heh, I'm feeling generous, so you can stay here. Don't disturb me."

Mikita giggled and turned her back on him. She began to cut veggies, and she took it slow as if she was waiting for something.

She hid a smile when something came to her in the form of two arms wrapping around her from behind. She felt his chest hug her back and his waist push on her butt, pressing on the soft flesh.

"People might catch us~ you know?" Mikita sang out a moan. "This is more dangerous than last night when Vivi nearly caught us making out."

"Yeah? don't worry about that. I've got my Observation Haki turned on this time."

Hashirama said and kissed her. He held her chin and turned it around to insert his tongue inside her. Mikita moaned and wiggled in his grasp, her body's warmth rubbing off on him as all the heat concentrated on his lower abdomen.

"Mhmm? W-What's Observation Haki?"

Mikita asked quite nonchalantly. Suddenly, the kiss ended, leaving a trail of saliva behind. That nonchalant comment made Hashirama gawk in shock.

"Yikes, you don't know what Haki is? After two years in the Grandline? Goddamn, what a weakling. You are such a boner killer."

"...?"

"Tsk, you're not joking? Bye."

"???"

Mikita suddenly looked confused beyond relief. She sweated nervously with an expression of stunned. Mikita stared at him walking out of the kitchen.

"What the fuck? Crazy bastard! You fucking weirdo!"

Hashirama didn't turn around.

….

It had been a few minutes since tea was served. So both girls outside the kitchen were done with their teas.

Robin looked at Hashirama walking out of the kitchen, leaving behind a shouting Mikita and wanted to ask what went wrong this time. But she decided against it when Hashirama stopped in his spot and looked wildly between her and Vivi.

As if deciding in his head, he moved towards Vivi, leaving Robin. He went to the dazed girl wearing a cute maid dress as she was staring out the window, at the sea.

She looked so beautiful like that.

Noticing his approach, Vivi gently turned her head to look at him. Her innocent face turned towards him to reveal her colorful bright beauty.

Sometimes Hashirama was glad he was born into this world. The reality here was so beautiful — the humans, though real-looking, had this charm to them as if they were running with 'RTX ON'. The luster of their skin alone was captivating, demanding to be embraced.

"Why are you staring like that?"

Hashirama was leaning on his left shoulder against the wall, his arms crossed as he focused on enjoying her beauty.

"You're creepy."

"Ouch."

"Joking."

Vivi laughed gracefully, covering her face with a hand and giggling. She was so tomboyish in the past, yet she was a finely graceful princess now. It was shocking how a person like her could rock that maid outfit.

Hashirama sat down beside her on a stool and cleared his throat.

"Princess of the sand, what's on your mind?"

"Huh? Well, this princess is longing for her sandy home. Also her lovely parents. Thanks to her fake prince who has kidnapped me."

"Does the princess want to talk to her parents?"

"No. If I talk to my parents and say I'm fine, which I'm sure they already know, they'd only be more worried. It will feel hollow inside their heart, and for me too. I would really want to go back if I heard their voice now."

"Hmm…"

Hashirama rested his chin in his hand and stared at her. Heading her soft voice explained gently.

"So I would rather miss them this much than let that feeling overflow out of my control. Mhm, maybe I will talk to them when I am confident in my willpower. I mean when I truly start to enjoy the journey and decide it's better in the sea than Alabasta."

"Can I kiss you?"

"...."

"I'm going to kiss you."

"W-wai-wait! What are you d-doing all of a sudden?! We were discussing emotional stuff- Kya- mhmmm!"

Hashirama pulled her by her waist and brought her to his lap. She sat on his lap, facing his face, as he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her deeply.

Naturally, the tsundere princess was resisting at first. However, that didn't last long as she gave in and started to kiss back. She was a life grumpy to him recently and will be the same for a long time, but it was true that she confessed her love for him—and he had said love you back.

Though they didn't get engaged as planned, people could say they were dating right now. So it was natural for Hashirama to kiss her, and it was just as natural for Vivi to kiss him back.

….

Hashirama was horny. He was blue balled by Vivi last night when he was making out with Mikita. He wished to push Vivi a bit further, but she was too shy and fled out of the restaurant to their ship.

Sad and horny, Hashirama went to talk to the last awake person in the restaurant. Nico Robin, who was now sipping juice as she read a book.

Seeing him, she took the straw out of her lips and stared at him as he took a seat in front of her, placing a cup of tea on the table.

"...What are you doing?"

The maid-Robin asked seriously.

Her eyes narrowed at him, and seeing him let out a gentle smile. He put his elbows on the table, his fingers interlocking with one another, and rested put his chin on top of it.

"I bought you another cup."

"What do you want?"

"How rude you are to your captain. I am hurt."

"You were making out with Vivi just now. You can't have good intentions coming to me now that she has run away."

"Oh my,"

Hashirama gasped seeing her giving him a suspicious look.

"It couldn't be…! You were spying on me! You were spying on two barely adults making out! Creep!"

"S-shut up!"

Robin's super serious and skeptical facade broke as she blushed a little. She quickly pointed a finger at him and accused him.

"It's your fault! I was making sure you weren't forcing her!"

"Can you make a better excuse? She and I are clearly in love, yet you-!"

"D-don't say it! Stop! You're making me look bad right now, you scheming and manipulating boy!"

Hashirama broke into a teary laugh and nearly fell from his chair. His laugh brought Robin back to her usual self after she took heavy breaths and calmed herself.

Yanking the tea cup before her, she took a loud sip and sighed.

"That wasn't funny."

"My hurt stomach says otherwise."

"I really was just checking on her. It was a short glance, too. Just enough to make sure the situation was right."

"Really?"

"Yes."

Robin and Hashirama exchanged words in short and serious words. Robin wore a professional expression and stared at him.

"By the way,"

Hashirama stood up and walked behind her. Robin got worried and turned her head at him. Hashirama pointed at her back.

"Isn't this too seductive? Vivi's isn't that revealing. Perhaps you're trying to seduce me?"

Robin's face twitched as she visibly controlled her expression to not show her weak side. She instead turned her chair body around and faced him properly.

"You're a pervert; not my type. If I really wore this to seduce somebody, it wouldn't be you. Also, I am not into cheaters."

"Oh? Who's your type then?"

Hashirama ignored her dry insults and grabbed a chair from the side and sat on it oppositely. With a smile, he continued talking to her.

"Why should I tell you? Just because you're my captain doesn't mean I have to tell you my preferences."

"Just captain? I'm your owner, too."

"...."

"Property, remember? I should get to know what my property's personal preferences are in a man."

"You're such a dirty player," Robin said dryly but answered his question right after. "What if I say I'm into blonde-haired people? So you're not my type."

She was saying she was trying to seduce either Sanji, Zeff, or Mikita. Obviously, Zeff was in his 60s and Robin probably wasn't into old men. He couldn't be sure about Mikita—since they indeed have been partners for two years. And if she really wanted to seduce Sanji, she knew well that there was no need to wear revealing clothes. Sanji was too easy even with baggy clothes.

So all that was a lie. Robin was just trying to misdirect him. It was most likely just her bad luck that the dress of her size was revealing. But since she didn't say that from the get-go, Hashirama decided to tease her a bit more.

"Mhm…"

Hashirama shook his head, and just as he did that, his black hair turned blonde. In a blink, it happened in a split second, causing Robin to freeze.

"Hey, is this good enough? I can also give myself blue eyes if you like."

"…Why did fate give such power to a scheming person like you?"

"Ah right, you're more into little kids, right? That's why you were spying. Wait a second."

Hashirama ignored her stupefied glare and just stood up. Using the same Jutsu that he achieved blonde hair with, he turned himself into himself from a few years younger.

It was a young, blonde Hashirama, wearing a waiter outfit.

"...."

Robin stared at him dryly, and he stared back.

"...You know, you can't seduce a person looking like that. You look cute like a toy."

Now it was Hashirama's turn to go silent.

"Did anybody tell you how girly you used to look? Haha, you look like you are cross-dressing."

"...."

Robin crackled up. "Awww, what a cute little thing. That look of yours makes me want to go up there and knead your cheeks."

"You know what? Fuck you." With a frown, Hashirama gave her a middle finger.

"What a foul-mouthed little girl. Those cute lips shouldn't be cursing." Robin grinned and spread her arms. "Here, come to big sister, I'll teach you how to be a good boy."

"No, seriously, fuck you."

Hashirama pointed a finger at her and she grew more amused.

"Now now, let's not say that. People will think you're a bad girl. Shut up and come give this One-chan a tight hug, I will pat your head."

Hashirama opened his mouth to say something. But he closed it. Rather, he walked over to her.

Robin blinked in surprise, but her grin only widened. It'd be funny if he really did hug her.

Unfortunately, unlike her thoughts, the Shota-rama leaned over, slid his hand under her chin to push hair away from her face, and put a quick kiss on her lips.

"...?!"

Robin's eyes went wide.

Her amused expression vanished as she flinched and jumped back, while he stood straight up and gave her a smirk.

"Cute lips, you said? That's the third time these cute lips kissed a girl in the last half an hour. See you later, glaring and blushing 'Onee-chan'."

The Transformation Jutsu canceled as Hashirama returned to his taller and toned self and walked away while whistling in happiness.

In such naughty and mischievous manners, the days continued passing for Hashirama –the main– and the girls. While far from them, the story of Nami unfolded with Karoo and Clone-rama.
