89 A Night To Remember

After leaving Marineford in paradise the Z pirates continued their journey towards the New World.

The alliance members had already left for their own adventures after pledging allegiance to the Z pirates. It was a known fact that there were only two ways to survive in the new world.

The first one was to pledge allegiance to an emperor of the sea and then gain their protection!

The second one was to bring down an emperor of the sea and then become an emperor yourself! This was obviously out of the question when the alliance members had clearly seen Mark's abilities and his crew member's powers.

Only three ships of the Z pirates remained because the marines had somehow managed to destroy the rest of them before departing from Marineford which was some kind of revenge for killing a navy admiral.

Mark was currently staring into the night sky with shining stars, Capone Bege stood behind him with his hands in his pockets while smoking a cigar.

"How many islands surround the Astigos island?" Mark asked as he stood on the deck while looking at the boundless sea.

"Nine islands surround it, with a different form of authorities. Big mom owns two of those islands." Capone Bege reported when he heard Mark's question. He already knew the status of every nearby island close to the Astigos island.

"Alright, let's capture those islands who got different authorities governing it, first," Mark said indifferently as he looked at the fresh and cool night sky.

"Roger that, we will arrive at the infant island soon." Capone Bege answered undisturbed as he looked up ahead at the visible island turning clear and clear in the darkness.

Some of the Z pirates could be seen in the background minding their own business as they sat at the corner of the deck and played board games while also trying to keep Jumbo Jim in check.

Jumbo Jim grabbed one of the Z pirate members who sat in front of him and threw him towards the sea as he took his seat and tried to play the board games.

The Z pirates were terrified as they got up from their seat and ran away. Some even tried to ambush Jumbo Jim from behind but unfortunately, they were a sent flying to the open sea.

"Save them!" A Z pirate member screamed as he jumped into the sea to rescue his fellow crewmen.

Satyr Jr, Alice, and Jewelry Bonney could also be seen sitting at the table in the middle of the deck while staring at Mark's firm back.

Alice gave Mark a faint smile as she kept staring at his back with different emotions going through her head.

Mark turned around and nodded towards her as he took large strides, slowly but energetically towards the deckhouse where Yuri resides.

Alice looked at Mark's disappearing back with a tinge look of regret clearly showing in her eyes. His was clearly going towards Yuri's bedroom.

Satyr Jr shook his head when he saw Alice downcast and saddened look. This girl has been through too much! He gave her a reassuring smile, to let her know that they would help her with her problems.

"I'm alright, thank you, Satyr." Alice got up from her seat as she walked over to Satyr jr and gave him a pad on his shoulder and then proceeded towards her own room.

The rest of the commanders were all inside their own rooms as it was currently night time.

*Knock knock*

"Can I come in?" Mark calmly asked as he knocked on Yuri's door carefully.

After a rather long wait, it was as if the person inside had mustered her courage to speak as she slowly answered

"Yeah..." A sweet and beautiful voice entered his ears. Mark opened the door and looked inside, as he immediately found himself gobsmacked.

Yuri could be seen sitting on her bed in her nightgown as she looked at Mark nervously. She looked extremely seductive and sexy as Mark felt his bottom part of his body heat up.

"What are you doing here?" Yuri asked nervously as she fidgeted with her hands timidly while looking at him with crystal clear eyes.

In the next moment, Mark pulled Yuri to him in one swift motion. "Come. Come over here."

Yuri froze. She felt him pull her wrist and bring her into his embrace.

Yuri's head was leaning on his shoulder. He placed his hand gently on her back. Thereafter, he lowered his head and closed his eyes as he took a whiff of the scent of her hair.

Yuri still wanted to move, but she heard him say softly into her ear, "Don't move; let me hug you for a while."

Yuri froze there. Her body was slightly stiff as he hugged her like this. She could still feel his hand on her back as he caressed it gently.

The heat from his large palm made her feel warm at the moment, without feeling any desire at all. However, an embrace like this made her feel so good. It was as if time had stopped here for them and made her feel reluctant to part from him…

As Mark embraced her, he felt as if she had some bizarre medicinal effect on him. It did not take a long time for his heart to follow suit and quiet down.

All of sudden, he cupped her head with his hands and deepened a kiss.

With great force, he squeezed between her lips with the boiling-hot tip of his tongue. Mark grabbed Yuri by her waist as he pulled her into the bed.

"I think it's best if I leave now..." Yuri said nervously as she tried to push Mark off her and leave the room. She didn't know exactly why she kept pushing him away, it could be because she was afraid of experiencing the pain of losing her virginity.

"What if I say that I won't allow it? I won't allow you to leave," Mark's deep voice resounded.

Yuri looked up. Her head was still hazy but her eyes were clear. She looked into Mark's intense and burning eyes.

His eyes were like the ocean, so full of life yet so uncertain. He pushed Yuri onto the bed and held her down. He stared at Yuri's small petite face with his hands on her shoulders. He lowered his eyes as he moved his hands towards her hands and caressed them softly.

The man who pressed her down made Yuri almost unable to catch her breath. But the way he forcefully held down her hands and pushed them into the bed gave her an indescribable feeling.

In the next moment, Mark's kiss firmly fell on her lips. Yuri felt that she was fainting; she was fainting in his arms from his passionate kiss. It was unavoidable…

Mark removed his shirt slowly as he kept kissing Yuri passionately. His body looked well trained as his bulging muscles could be seen. A body that just worked out was like a beast that just awakened and felt wild.

His originally beautiful muscles were now more prominent, exhibiting. One could not resist touching them. His huge hands held her ten fingers. When he kissed her, salty sweat trickled into her mouth.

At that moment, Yuri felt a shudder moving upward from her lower abdomen as if she was floating.

He pulled away. She licked her lips longingly as if shamelessly asking for more.

"Mark… You're too hot. Let go of me." Yuri still had some fighting spirit in her as she pleaded slowly but her actions told a different story as she moved her hands towards Mark's private "property" slowly.

"Now you say that! But it's too late!" Mark looked at her dazed eyes and in that instant, wanted her right there.

Her petite body made one feel the urge to charge into it.

"No, you're pressing down on me. It hurts…" Yuri said while small pounds of sweat began to form on her forehead from the battle there was going on.

"Good, it won't hurt in a bit!" Mark's lower area stirred. Didn't this woman know exclaiming pain like that was a deadly lure for men?

"But…" Yuri wanted to say something but Mark immediately cut her off.

"Be a good girl; it won't hurt. It won't hurt in a while…" Mark held onto her as his hand gravitated downwards on her.

Passionate sounds and mourns rang throughout the first Z pirate ship...

"Seriously..." Capone bege couldn't help but remark as he sat down before Satyr jr.

"Fight! Mark!" Jumbo Jim jumped up from his seat as tried to run towards the place where the mourning sounds came from. He could clearly hear Mark's voice!

But before he could take anymore steps the slash of a sword came rushing towards him while forcing him to take a couple of steps backward.

Issho could be seen sitting on the mast with his swords sheathed.

"If you're looking for a fight, I will gladly entertain you," Issho said towards Jumbo Jim who currently found himself in a miserable state.

"Fight!" Jumbo Jim didn't back down as he rushed towards Issho.

The two clashed.
