Chapter 308: Second Bikini Party (3)

Ben walked to the front and saw Kaya, Vivi and Saphir looking at the ocean. Kaya was wearing her black bikini bra. It had two set rings on each strap which linked the bra. She was also wearing high waisted bottoms which covered most of her ass. Kaya also had a transparent black cover up skirt. The skirt did not cover her bottoms, however it was cute. It was similar to Conis`s skirt however, this was transparent. 

Vivi was wearing her dark blue bikini top like before. It had a zig zag pattern on the edge of the top. Her large breasts were showing a nice amount of cleavage. The strap was held on through a yellow circular ring. The outline of the bikini top was yellow. She had a matching bottom as well.

He looked to see Saphir, who was wearing a different bikini. She is usually around in her blue bikini top. She was wearing a striking two-piece bikini in a vibrant royal blue. The halter-style top had a deep V-neckline. There were crisscross straps that wrapped around the midriff. Complementing the top, the low-rise bikini bottoms had multiple narrow straps on each hip. Her ass cheeks were slightly exposed. Ben thought she looked beautiful. 

"Hello, girls," Ben greeted as he approached Kaya, Vivi, and Saphir. The three of them turned to face him, each with a smile lighting up their faces.

"Hello, pervert," Kaya teased.

Ben chuckled, unfazed by her jest. "You all look stunning," he said, his voice warm with admiration.

Kaya sighed. "I can't believe you got us to wear these again," she remarked, glancing down at her outfit.

"I like it when Ben's eyes are on us," Saphir chimed in, her gaze meeting Ben's. "Do I look good?" she asked, a hint of nervous anticipation in her voice.

Ben's smile widened as he looked at her. "You look phenomenal," he replied sincerely, his eyes sparkling with appreciation.

Saphir's face lit up with a radiant smile, her cheeks tinged with a soft blush.

Vivi, nudged Kaya playfully. "It's kind of fun to dress up for Ben," she said, a mischievous grin spreading across her face.

Ben thought his princess was in support of this. He thought someone had been corrupting her. 

Kaya rolled her eyes but couldn't suppress her own smile. "Alright, alright. Maybe it's not so bad," she conceded. 

"So what brings up here Ben?" Vivi asked. 

Ben moved closer to Vivi, standing behind her and gently resting his chin on her shoulder. The scent of the ocean mixed with Vivi's subtle perfume, creating a calming effect. Vivi smiled softly, leaning into the comforting weight of Ben's presence.

Saphir rested her head against Ben's shoulder. She always thought being around Ben was nice. 

Kaya, feeling the warmth, leaned against Ben's arm. 

"Vivi, your dream to find a prince, do you want to have a royal wedding after that?" Ben asked.

"Well, I did but I am no longer a princess," Vivi replied. 

"I don't regret it, it was my decision," Vivi stated. 

Kaya and Saphir nodded. Ben smiled. "If it's not a royal wedding, we can give a grand wedding," Ben offered.

"With everyone, I want all the girls together," Vivi replied. She did not want anyone left behind. 

"Sure," Ben added. He thought that was the second wedding request, a lemon theme wedding and now a royal theme wedding. 

"I haven't forgotten our promise to support you in becoming the Pirate Harem King and growing your harem," Vivi said with a determined glint in her eyes.

Kaya sighed but her lips curled into a soft smile. "And I'm still on board with that," she added, leaning into Ben's arm for reassurance. She saw how happy she was and everyone was. 

"I'll help too," Saphir chimed in, her expression bright and sincere. Ben was the perfect candidate for it. He saved her and her two sisters. 

Ben smiled. He turned his attention to Saphir, curiosity piqued. "Saphir, what about your dream?" he asked gently.

Saphir's eyes sparkled as she looked out over the sea. She thought for a second. "My dream?" she repeated, almost to herself. "I want to find a place where I and my sisters belong, where I can be my true self without fear. Being part of this crew gives me a sense of family and adventure, but I also want to become stronger so I can protect those I care about," she explained. Saphir thought back to when she was under the thumb of Gad. The times where she had to escape her captors. When Emeraude had to heal people until she was unconscious. She felt powerless to help. 

Ben listened intently. "That's a beautiful dream, Saphir. We will help you get stronger," Ben stated.

Saphir smiled, feeling a sense of belonging and purpose. "Thank you, Ben. With you all, I believe I can make that dream a reality." She added, "You have already done so much, by giving my sister their happiness." 

"Didn't I promise to bring you happiness?" Ben teased, a playful glint in his eyes.

Saphir's lips curved into a soft smile. "You did," she replied warmly. Leaning in, she brushed a gentle kiss against his lips, her touch tender and affectionate.

As she pulled back slightly, their eyes met, and Ben could see the sincerity in her gaze. "Every day," Saphir added softly.

"Pervert," Kaya commented. 

Ben smiled. "Kaya, I know your dream is to be a doctor. Do you have any other dreams?" he asked. 

"Well, I said I was going to help you become Pirate Harem King," Kaya replied.

Ben smiled. He thought that was sweet, however there has to be something else. "I know you will but what is your dream, something for you," he asked.

"That is it," Kaya stated. She looked at Ben with conviction. 

"Okay," Ben responded. He turned around and kissed forehead. 

"Hey," she blurted out with a smile on her face.

"Ben," Vivi commented. 

"Sorry, how could I forget you," Ben replied as he leaned in and kissed her lips. Their lips locked. Vivi and Ben enjoyed the kiss. 

Ben let go and looked at Vivi with her eyes closed. He thought it was adorable. 

Vivi opened her eyes and smiled. "Can we enjoy the ocean?" Kaya asked. 

"Sure," Ben replied. They stayed together for about 20 minutes enjoying each other's company and the views of the vast ocean. 

Ben then said, "I am going to check on the others." The girls nodded. Ben let go and walked to the centre of the deck.

Ben was making his way toward the back of the ship when he accidentally collided with Nojiko. The impact caught them both off guard, and Nojiko lost her balance. He saw she was wearing a red bikini top and bottom like before. The bikini top had two straps over each shoulder. There was ample amount of cleavage shown. The bra had a knot added to the front making it look cute. Her bottom covered her ass and only showed bits of her ass cheeks. With quick reflexes, Ben reached out and caught her just before she could fall. He pulled her into a secure embrace.

"Careful," Ben murmured, his voice soft with concern. He looked down at Nojiko, their faces inches apart.

Nojiko's heart raced, not just from the near fall but from the sudden closeness. "Thanks, Ben," she said.

Ben smiled, his hold on her gentle but firm. "It's okay," he replied, "I've got you."

They stood like that for a moment, the sound of the ocean around them and the gentle sway of the ship almost forgotten. Nojiko felt a warmth spread through her.

"This does feel nice," she replied. 

"I was going to see you," Ben said.

Nojiko moved her finger tips towards his open chest. She pressed it on his chest and moved it in a circular motion. "I wonder what for?" she teased.

"I know your dream is to sail the Miss Love Duck and navigate the ship in all the oceans," Ben said. 

"And, to support you in becoming the Pirate Harem King and growing your harem," she added.

"Okay, is there anything else you dream of?" Ben asked.

Nojiko paused for a second. "That is a serious question," she replied, playing with her finger on his chest. "I dream like old times to be with my mum and sister together," Nojiko said. 

"I know BM is not mum but she is the closest and me and Nami have accepted that," Nojiko added. She continued, "I want Nami, BM and I together just like old times for a day." 

Ben thought it must have been hard for her, her childhood under Arlong, seeing her sister do all those things. "I promise I will make that happen," Ben stated. He added, "Although Nami does not like me much," he joked. 

"She loves you like me," Nojiko stated. She added, "She is a bit stubborn sometimes." Nojiko pouted. 

"Well I have you right now," Ben said. 

Ben and Nojiko stood close, their eyes locked into each other.

Without a word, Ben gently cupped Nojiko's cheek, his thumb brushing softly against her skin. She leaned into his touch, her breath catching as their gazes deepened.

They moved closer. Nojiko's lips parted slightly, her eyes fluttering shut as she tilted her head up towards him. Ben leaned in, closing the small distance between them. Their lips met in a tender, lingering kiss. 

Nojiko's hands found their way to Ben's shoulders, gripping them lightly as she kissed him back. The kiss deepened, each of them savouring the closeness, the warmth. For a few precious moments, they were lost in each other. They finally pull apart. 

Nojiko smiled. She pulled away from Ben. "You have others to see," she remarked. She smiled and skipped away. "Bye," she said. 

Ben smiled. She has energy for sure. Ben looked to the other side of the deck where he saw Conis, Honey, Alvida, Mikita and Marianne eating together. They looked like they were having fun. He walked to the back of the ship.
