Chapter 49

"Shakky, 2 bottles for us." Rayleigh said as they walked in the bar. Vox sat at the bar with Rayleigh. Shakky put two bottles of their best drink in front of them each as she also went to join the conversation.

After some drinking and pointless talk, Vox decided to get down to business. He emptied his bottle and looked Rayleigh in the eyes.

"Join the war in 5 days time." he bluntly said. If Rayleigh joined, he would be able to kill all 3 admirals with dragon as well.. The real threat were garp and Sengoku, he had to hold them off as well. Assuming the Whitebeard pirates will hold off 1 admiral, he fights 1, whitebeard himself fights one, Dragon fights Garp. He needs someone to delay Sengoku and Enel.

Rayleigh looked at him with a thoughtful expression for a good while before shaking his head. "No."

"Mind if I know why?" Vox really had not much hope, but he really wanted to have him. Rayleigh emptied his bottle as well and said a simple answer. "We are not ready." Which made Vox frustrated but he held it in. This was a powerful fighter that was better as an ally.

He did not say that he did not want to fight anymore or some bullshit. Which means, he will fight in the war against the WG.

"Then prepare yourself for the fight against the WG. It is not long gone. Ah, I will come to Amazon Lily after the war. Make sure you somehow convince Luffy to train.

As Vox said, he walked out. Although he did not manage to get him to fight in the war, he made the first introductions.

'All I need is Shanks and Whitebeard, then train every capable fighter and take over the marines. Let's see what you will do afterwards, damn Celestial Lizards.'

Time passed fairly fast and it was already the night before the War. Whitebeard was already here costing his ship, Vox did not go meet him, he didn't need to since he will make a bigger impact tomorrow. The first impressions are all that count.

Inside his tent, Vox was sitting with Night Wing and Bonny. He sent someone to get her here.

"Bonny, you will go and train with your pirate group. Leave you group on an island to train and I will put you with a capable trainer."

"Yes, Master."

"Night Wing, Send her out." Vox said as he saw how much Bonny was trying to seduce him.. 'Why couldn't she be gay as well.. so much trouble. Wait... if I use this change of heart on gay male.... Yea.. No. Never doing that.' Vox instantly had cold sweet. He could not even deal with a woman with looks like Bonny, he definitely did not want to deal with a man as well.

As Bonny was reluctantly was dragged out of the tent, Vox finally relaxed. He stood up and started changing his clothes off to sleep. As he was taking off his pants, Night Wing came back in. When she saw him her cheeks became a bit rosy but she did not take her eyes of him. She kept eye contact and Vox did the same. Creating an awkward silence.

Seconds become minutes as they stood there like statues, the only thing they could hear was their own raging heartbeat threatening to explode. In the end Night Wing was the first to brake contact with her head completely red.

"Sorry Master, I did not know you were changing." She looked to the side in an attempt to cool herself down, only to fail hard when she heard what Vox said next.

"Night Wing... I never asked you about your name... Could you tell me, please?" Vox felt so stupid just then, she was his oldest summon and his first card made alive. Yet he never asked her for her name. He was just too used to calling her By her Shortened card name, Night Wing Sorceress. 'Great job idiot, you did not even ask the one you love for her name....' he cursed himself for his lacking braincells sometimes.

"My name is Reniares Augoselos." She said meekly, she did not know why, but she felt that her Master was different today, no, ever since she became alive, she felt him look at her differently. Like...how Psy looked at Samuel...

Her eyes went Wide and a beautiful smile dawned on her face as she looked Vox in the eyes. So he did love her, he did care for her.... If she could explain her feelings in words she would. But she honestly could not. She was happy, relieved, scared, anxious, and many more she could not make them out.

"Reniares... such a beautiful name..." Vox walked over to her, still in his underwear and gave her a big hug, which made Reniares cry as she hugged him back.

Both of them were aware of each others feelings, there were no words needed to be spoken. That hug said all it needed to say. Vox pulled back a bit after a few minutes hugging and cupped her face in his hands.

'How soft.' he thought, her rosy cheeks were burning, like a slightly hot marshmallow. He let his hands wander down her body to her hips and he pulled her into him. their face next to each other.

The breaths mixing, the loving gaze Reniares was giving off made it hard for Vox not to seal her lips. As he grew close to her and their lips were about to connect.

"Big brother, is sister Night Wing here..." Inara rushed in his tent just to freeze there in shock. He head became red like a tomato when she saw them. Especially when she caught sight of their position and how little Vox was clothed.

"Uhm...eh.. Sorry for the...uhm.. Bye!" She tried to apologize, but just ran off. Her reaction made Both Vox and Reniares chuckle at her antics.

"My dear master, let's rest. We have a war to fight tomorrow." She said as she broke of their hug and walked out of the tent. She still needed to know what Inara wanted.

"Did I just get cockblocked...?" Vox said outloud but no one was there to answer.

"I guess I should rest... But I don't think I will be able to in my condition...." Vox though when he looked down.. the little friend down there was quite excited right now.

"Let's do as dad used to say when we were kids, If the snake awakes, think of your mother's friend Helga and it will go back to sleep." Helga was a friend of his mother, she was... a heavy eater... and not much of a exercise fan. So the end result was that she could hardly walk.

As he imagined her, his friend went back to sleep, and making Vox release a sign of relieve. If it did not work, he might have to ask Reniares to help out. He could go to the brothels, but ever since he realized his feelings for Reniares, he made sure to stop all those activities. No more one night stands, bo more pleasing married woman, no more princesses needing to be made woman. He let that for someone capable, after all, he just did it with whoever wanted to relieve himself. A man has needs.

But when the said man has a woman he loves and cares for him, he really did not even feel anything. 'It seems like dad's lessons are not in vain.' Vox shook his head. His dad was many things, but one thing he was best at was being a husband and a father.

One lesson of his still rings inside his head.

"Why pay for a whore when you have a loving wife at home? Or why sleep with someone that doesn't know you when your woman knows how to please you best."

Shaking these thoughts out of his head, he laid down on his bed and went to sleep. For tomorrow is an eventful day.
