Early in the morning the next day, me and Braum are chilling sitting on a barrel while watching the sunrise. In our hand were mugs from which we slowly sipped a drink.
"This sight never gets old!" Braum smiles watching the sunrise.
"I think it never will, especially for someone who lives in the far north." Lynx
The door of the female cabin opens up, with the trio of girls making their way out.
"Huh? You two are already awake?" Nami looks suspicious.
"Just looking at the sunrise, heh! I rarely see the sun in the Freljord, not to mention such a beautiful and warm one!" Braum raises his mug, to which I clink my own.
"Well then, enjoy it as much as you want. But what are you two drinking?" Nami
"The best milk in the world!" I raise my mug as we clink them again and down the contents.
"Really?! You two are drinking that again?! What about the digestion problems?!" Vivi
"It doesn't do much to me. Is it the mustache? Who knows!" Braum plays with his mustache.
"I don't see your worries, this milk is awesome! It tastes good, it literally speeds up my recovery after training plus my skin and hair is silky smooth after one night! You should want to drink it!" I explain all my findings about the milk.
"Now you know why I have such beautiful skin and a glorious mustache! Heheheh!" Braum laughs.
We refill our mugs from the barrel we sat on, much to the girls horror.
"W-Where did you get that milk?! Didn't you drink it all?!" Mikita
"Oh? I just woke up craving more milk and asked Braum if he could get it." I point at him.
"And I gladly did it! Oh! Finally having someone who loves to share my poison... It brings a tear to my eye!" Braum slaps my back while wiping a tear.
*Bam*
"Damn you are noisy in the morning! ... What are you guys drinking?" Zoro tiredly kicks open the door until he sees us drinking.
"Braum got more fresh milk!" Braum raises his mug.
"... You got another mug?" Zoro
I just raised a mug that was beside the barrel and threw it at him. He catches it and starts grinning.
"Move over guys, need some of that sweet stuff!" Zoro
Nami became horrified after seeing even Zoro join us.
"Ah morning guys... ! There is more milk?! Gimme!!!" Luffy jumps only to be caught by Braum and put down gently.
"Drink like human, not rabid animal." Braum repeats himself.
"Okaaaay." Luffy.
"Oh? You got more of it? Give me a glass as well." Sanji comes to whom I just toss a glass.
"Damn the thing burns... But I want more." I toss a glass to Usopp that barely catches it.
"It's spreading!" Vivi has a shiver run down her spine.
"Oh stop whining and just try a damn glass! It's good, makes you healthy and pretty. With one glass the toilet trouble also isn't that urgent." I fill three glasses and give them to the girls hands.
They stare at the glasses while the guys stare at them.
"Join us! Join us! Join us! Join us!..." We start to chant until the girls finally down the glasses like a shot.
The girls stand still with closed eyes for a moment until they extend their hands.
...
"What are you waiting for?! REFILL THE DAMN GLASSES!" Nami
"WOHOOOO!" We all start to party with the girls getting hooked on the milk.
"*Sniff* I have never been so proud! You truly are my brethren!" Braum starts to cry happily as he hugs us in his giant bear hug.
"Ouch, it hurts Braum!" Usopp
"Ah! Sorry! Forgot you haven't drunk enough milk yet!" Braum chuckles.
...
After a few days of sailing I have the plans of my bow and shashkas in front of me. But there is a problem.
"Where can I get good materials for this... And a forge in the middle of the ocean?!" I rub my head in frustration.
"Let's say I can summon a black smith that doesn't need a whole forge and can use magic... What about the materials? Hm? Should I summon someone, get materials from him and then cancel the summon? Will I get the energy back?" I think about it and try my luck.
"Hey, everyone! I will soon be summoning and hopefully get someone good. Please hold Luffy so he doesn't jump at them and offend them." Lynx
"..." The girls all sent me a nasty glare as if they are trying to feel out who I will summon.
"YEEES! PLEASE SUMMON ANOTHER HOTTIE!" Sanji
"Ok extend it to include Sanji too." I facepalm at Sanji's reaction.
"Just do it, I'll look after curly brows." Zoro
"Go to hell mosshead!" Sanji bites back.
I prepare to first get my material guy.
"I summon in my name! Durin the first!" Lynx
This time I even feel my energy forming a lasso and disappear into empty space. After a few seconds, a short but stocky figure lands on the deck. He is about 1,5 m tall, his muscles are bulging, and his beard is long, red and braided meticulously. His head was adorned by a battlecrown adorned in mithril, gold and jewels. On his body was silvery armor covered in runes and a big battleaxe in his hand.
Everyone stops seeing the new arrival. The girls make a relieved sigh, Sanji looks heartbroken, Braum admires the beard, Zoro feels an itch to fight, lastly Luffy and Usopp look at the man with shining eyes.
"Woho-Ack!" Luffy was about to jump when Nami delivered a punch to his head, leaving him a bump.
The next words he speaks are not understandable.
"_!$:&$/%"#" Durin talks in dwarvish.
I hold my hand up as if telling him to wait. I feel the lasso around him before sending some knowledge over. Durin is shocked for a moment before he closes his eyes.
"Be willing to help us in anyway." I softly mutter the command.
Durin opens his eyes and says.
"Alrighte! Who of ya summoned me?" Durin talks in the same language as us.
"That would be me. Nice to meet you! I'm Clawe D Lynx, but call me Lynx." I extend my hand for a shake.
"Thee names Durin! At yer service! What do ya need from I?" Durin grips and shakes my hand.
"Well actually can you wait for a moment? I plan to summon one more person and I'll explain it at the same time." Lynx
"Sure, go ahead! But then ya better explain us what ye called us for." Durin
"I summon in my name! Hephaestus!" Lynx
This time a tall, well endowed woman with short red hair appears. She has a big eyepatch over her right eye, a white shirt, long black gloves extending to her upper arm, black pants with a belt and black high boots.
'I want her to be my crafting master and helper, so what to say in the command? Ah I know!' Lynx
"Be my fire that helps me create." I mutter softly again, before sending information into her head.
"Alright, I'm here. Now who summoned me?" Hephaestus puts one arm on her hip while glancing at all of us.
"SHE IS GORGEOUS!" Sanji wiggles like a noodle but is then hit by Zoro's sword sheath.
Nami, Vivi and Mikita stare at the new arrival. Trying their own breasts and feeling unsatisfied they send a death glare toward Hephaestus.
"My mother told me that the Freljord cow milk causes the breasts to grow~ My mother had the biggest breasts, comparable to a cow!" Braum smirks at the jealous women.
The three snap their heads at Braum.
""Bring more milk tomorrow!!"" All three yelled, to which he burst out laughing.
"Alright! I'm Clawe D Lynx, but Lynx would do. Now I summoned you two to help me attempt to make the best weapons suited for me. This is Durin, one of the first dwarves of middle earth, the king of Khazad-dum with the nickname the Deathless.
This here is Hephaestus, the goddess of smithing of another world. She can make anything and is the best in her craft." Lynx
"So yer a goddess of smithing, ey? Never though I'd see any females besides dwarves in smithin'." Durin laughs and extends an hand.
Hephaestus looks him up and down before smiling and shaking hands.
"Never thought I'd see a dwarf king getting his hands dirty with smithing." Hephaestus
"Ha! I was thee one who taught other dwarves how ta smith and craft! No better pleasure in thee world!" Durin
"Glad you get along, so what do you think of these plans?" I hand over parchments of paper with the designs on them.
[The first things are two identical shashka sabres. The blade is curved with 100 cm long single edge curved blades, special shaped grip and pommel without a guard.
Second item is a layered metal turkish shortbow about 150 cm long.]
"What are ye, an dwarf-elf mix? Everything metal but light arse weapons only elves use?" Durin
"Hm, they are a nice design, but do you have the right metals to make this?" Hephaestus
"That's the thing, I want to trade with you Durin. Can I get some mithril for the base and ithildin for the engraving of runes?" Lynx
"Hmm? I can help ya with that. But what do ya have to offer back? Any special materials ya can offer?" Durin
"Usopp, go fix the damn steering stick! I need my baton!" I yell up at Usopp.
"Ah right away!" He runs and replaces the baton.
I take it and hand it over to Durin and Hephaestus.
"This here is seastone. It's almost unbreakable, it blends in with the ocean aura, so you can hide from sea monsters if you coat the hull of a boat plus it can hit living but intangible things like ghosts or elemental beings." I briefly explain it to them.
"Hooh? This thing is a nifty material! Ya know how to make it?" During cops a feel of the baton.
"Don't know how to make it. Another faction has the technology and they keep it top secret. I risked myself against someone stronger to steal this baton from that faction." Lynx
"Hahaha, atta boy! And we can trade this. You get yer metals while ya steal more of this and maybe the knowledge too! Ghosts have been pesky recently in thee mines. Enchanted weapons are a bit of a waste to give tens'o thousands of miners." Durin.
"I will help you in exchange for this material too. I will crack the way to refine it in a jiffy." Hephaestus.
"Alright! I will send you back so you can gather your stuff and I'll summon you in a five days again at noon. When we come across some more seastone, we will steal it. Deal?" Lynx
"Ya got yerself a deal!" Durin
"Let's meet then... But do prepare a better place than a ship for forging." Hephaestus
"Will do. See you later!" I unsummon the two and face the others.
The girls are glaring at me with the guys having good or bad reactions.
"Well, now I got only one more lasso available for now!" I feel the quantity of the energy.
'I will now call it Soul energy!'
…
The next day I re-summon Braum. But to my surprise, he appears with three barrels of milk.
"... Why did you suddenly up the quantity of milk?" I question him confused.
"Make way! Make way! Thanks Braum!" Nami
"Yes, thank you!" Vivi and Mikita.
The girls took away two barrels and retreated back into their room with desperate grins across their faces.
"... What just happened? They didn't want to drink at all a few days back. Did something happen?" I ask Braum suspiciously.
"Heh heh, no time for worrying! You will need to find out yourself!" Braum chuckles.
"Okay?" I shrug my shoulders and start to drink.
…
*Two days later
I am woken up in the dark storage area with two soft bodies rubbing against me.
"Ah? What's the occasion? You were ignoring me for a few days." I question the two girls.
"We just needed to make a decision! Either continue with the ceasefire with no progress… Or claim you as your women, so you won't be able to go to even more women!" Vivi
"That was quite mean, claiming me as your property, but then not doing anything~ I was rather insulted! Is my body not developed enough for you after seeing that redhead?" Mikita
"Uh, no? I didn't want to force you two seeing that you fought at every occasion. If you wanted me to do more, just give me the okay sign." Lynx
"What is the okay sign?" Vivi
"Drag me somewhere private? But I doubt you will be able to outlast me~" I grin at them challengingly.
"Oh you are on! Get his clothes off!" Mikita
"On it!" Vivi
They push me down with me facing the ceiling. I notice a crack and an eye gazing at me. I wink at the eye that quickly scrambles away.
'Hahaha! This voyage will be interesting!' Lynx
(R-18 content will be a separate chapter.)
...
*Two days later.
"There is no mistake!! After Whisky peak, the next island on our course is that one!" Nami
"There it is! The second island of the Grandline!!!" Luffy points at a giant island of vegetation.
As we close up to the island we again head with the river inland. As we go deeper roars of giant beasts are heard in the surroundings.
"W-w-w-what was that?! Are there monsters here?!" Usopp is shaking like a stick on water.
"Don't say anything about a disease of not entering the island. We didn't restock on Whisky peak, so we need provisions desperately." Sanji
"Wow, this island is practically uncharted and overgrown." Nami sees the difficulty of charting the island.
"The island's name is Little garden." Lynx
"That crazy. Who would give a name like that to a place like this? There is nothing little here!" Usopp
"They named it that because you are the little thing here. It's an island stuck in prehistoric times with giant mammals being the small thing here. The bigger animals are actually d-." I explain while enjoying the view. Vivi and Mikita come flank and hold my arms.
"DAMN YOU RIAJUU! GO DIE!!!" Sanji jumps screaming at me with a kick.
Ducking down he flies over and lands in the river. Standing up I glance bored at him.
"You cooled yourself enough?" Lynx
"You bastard! I hate you!" Sanji climbs on again totally wet.
"Today is the day I summon Hephaestus again~" I smirk at him.
"I LOVE YOU! PLEASE INTRODUCE ME!" Sanji is already bowing in front of me like a knight to his king.
"..." The looks of disgust the girls made while looking at him was hilarious.
'Well, they did feel jealous of her, so him showing his hornyness for her, made the girls look badly at him.' Lynx
"GRAAAAAAU!" A dinosaur roars very close to the river making the girls, Carue and Usopp jump in fright.
"WHAT WAS THAT?!" Nami
"Aw Nami~ You are so cute when you are scared~ Don't worry, I'll protect you." Sanji
He might have even sounded reliable if he didn't behave like that before. But he is doomed to fall in their eyes.
The next moment a tiger comes into view as it collapses from it's bloody wounds.
"What kind of monster could attack a tiger like that! They are kings of the jungle!!" Nami
"AHEM! Like I was saying before I was rudely interrupted by Sanji. The island is inhabited by dinosaurs. You know, the giant lizard ones." Lynx
"DINOSAURS!!! Sanji! I need a lunchbox!!!" Luffy
"A lunchbox?" Sanji
"A pirate lunchbox without vegetables! I smell an adventure!!!" Luffy
"Wait a minute, you! Where do you think you're going?!" Nami yells at him.
"On an adventure! Hehehe! Wanna come with?" Luffy
Nami just walks away crying from feeling hopeless at the captains antics.
"Sanji! My lunch!" Luffy
"Okay, okay. Keep you hat on." Sanji walks into the kitchen.
"Um, can I come too?" Vivi
"Yeah, sure!" Luffy
"Not you too!" Nami
"Why not? I'll just brood here and be annoyed by that boob bitch. This will keep me busy while the log pose resets." Vivi spares me a glance while I am looking at the watch.
"Ah, I can understand that. Well just be careful out there!" Nami
"Hey? Are you going already?" I ask Luffy and Vivi.
"Yep!" Luffy
I go towards Mikita and whisper into her ear.
"Go with them. You old partner bombugger and mr 3's group are on this island. Oh if there are any barrels with ale, don't let anyone drink it, since they are laced with explosives." I whisper dead serious.
Mikita's smile turns serious.
"How accurate is the information?" Mikita
"At least those three are here, maybe more, so be on a lookout." Lynx
Mikita nods and suddenly turns cheerful.
"Heey! I'm coming with you!" She runs towards Luffy, Vivi and Carue.
"Yeah! Let's go!" Luffy marches out with his group.
"Meh, I got time to kill, so I will take a walk too." Zoro
"Take a walk?!" Usopp
"Wait Zoro! We are running out of food, so if you come across anything edible, bring it back!" Sanji
"Huh? Will do. I will bag something you could never kill." Zoro
"HOLD IT! A bet? That you could get something bigger than me?"Sanji
"Definitely!" Zoro
"I CHALLENGE YOU TO A HUNT!" Sanji
The two start walking into a jungle.
"Hey Zoro! Sanji!" Lynx
"What is it now?" Zoro
"If you come across a building made of wax, take the denden mushi and eternal pose there. It's important!" Lynx
"Ok! Got it!" Sanji and Zoro leave, leaving us to be the group of four.
A silence descends.
"At least we have you two!" Usopp and Nami stick to me and Braum.
"Oh and why do we need that eternal pose?" Nami
"Because the log pose on your wrist would need one year to reset on this island. Well, I have the other pose for backup." Lynx
Nami and Usopp paled at the revelation.
"I LOVE YOU!" They both jump on me and kiss me… Well Nami, I slapped Usopp away since I don't want my eyes poked out!
