Once they left the Moby Dick, Isabel noticed that Veyron's mood was a bit different from when they arrived; his countenance was ugly and complex.
"Veyron, are you okay?" She very naturally placed her hand on his shoulder, and he took it in reassurance.
"Yes, it is okay, I just didn't like that Teach guy".
"Hmph, what is there to like about a pirate?" She harrumphed for a second, thinking his mood would resurface, but it didn't. The grasp he had on his shoulder tightened and she ended up sighing.
"Just now you lied, didn't you?".
"Heh?".
...
Back in the Moby Dick, while Marshall D. Teach laughed, Whitebeard looked at Veyron with interest.
"How do you know about Teach, Veyron?"
Teach wasn't the strongest or the wisest or even the most relevant among his children and he knew that very well. For Veyron to directly call Teach's name, it surprised him as he was convinced the brat was not acquainted with any of them aside from himself and Marco.
!!!
"You're a Yonko, it is only natural that I'd study your crew for future reference" Veyron laughed it off as Whitebeard frowned.
...
"At that time, you lied... you're not familiar with Whitebeard's crew, but from the moment that man Teach raised his voice, your expression changed completely. Who is that Teach?".
"Well, you'd probably like to know that his whole name is Marshal D. Teach" Veyron said casually.
"D?!"
Isabel frowned, and even a bit of killing intent left her body inadvertently. Killing intent that she reigned in once Veyron glared back at her.
"I know some things about him... but I can't say them yet... all I can say is I would have killed him if doing so wouldn't have triggered Whitebeard".
"Y-You'd kill a member of the D. Clan...?"
Now, there was no anger, just confusion.
'If his purpose is to overthrow the goverment, then why...?'
"He's not like the rest of the D Clan, Isabel. You and I will need to have a deep conversation about the D Clan soon".
She bit her lips and evaded his gaze, "About the void century, I can't tell you anything..."
"Oh? Are you sure you're not going to tell me?~" He hooked his arms around her waist to pull her closer, but Isabel was adamant in refusing to stare at his eyes.
"If you fancy me... if you want what we have... you're not going to make me go back on my word as a Knight, Veyron... there is nothing in this world that's more painful to me".
"Spoilsport".
He let her go, but she still harrumphed and took his hand, "Understand me..."
Although he couldn't understand a Knight's code of action, he could understand how important it was for her to keep her word as she had done for a whole lifetime.
"I don't need you to tell me. I will have Robin discover the truth and then tell me".
"That's another way to go about it. The poneglyphs were left behind for a reason... it would be boring if I just told you, wouldn't it? Besides, it is not that interesting a story, trust me," She murmured, a bit downcast.
"I wonder about that..."
"Where are we going next? I will take you~" She flew along, happy about the technique she had developed.
"You're quite confident in your flight, huh?"
"No, I can teleport us there, then we can fly... do you know a rough location?".
The young man took out a vibrecard; it was Gion's.
"She should be stationed around Sabaody as we speak, or maybe she already sailed to the New World" He couldn't be certain, but the vibrecard was pointing towards Sabaody in the Grandline.
"She...? Very well, I will take us there" Her tone was uncharacteristically dull when she said 'she'.
...
Isabel teleported us to the sky above Sabaody. It was my first time teleporting, and I felt a huge headache and to my surprise, so did she.
"Even you are affected by this?" Veyron asked her.
"It is not something that can be controlled. The longer the distance, the more difficult it is to perform; however, this is the only backlash".
"How far can you teleport?" He asked again.
"I can teleport to any place I can see or any place I have previously been... the longer the distance, the more it takes for me to recover" She disclosed this information casually, trusting him completely.
Watching the city from above, Veyron's eyes darted between it and Isabel who stared at the city longingly.
"I will go and see someone, if possible... do you want to hang out here for a while?" He asked her, a bit awkwardly, then pointed at Sabaody. It should be very comfortable for her, considering world nobles frequent this island, or so he thought.
But upon doing so, his grandma made a bit of twitch with her tongue.
"... who are you going to see? It is a woman, isn't she?"
"Admiral Shironeko" He answered with a bit of sweat at her tone.
"And is she your lover?"
"... yes".
"Do you need privacy?"
"Well, I haven't spoken to her casually for a while, and we probably will... you know..." He darted his eyes away, and she understood.
"It is not like I am a little girl. I know exactly what you're going to do, naughty boy".
"If that's the case, go ahead and hang out here for a bit–"
"Take me there".
!!!
"Are you out of your mind?" He asked with a deadpan.
"Take me there".
"I need privacy!"
"Take me there..."
"You're just like mom–"
"Veyron, take... me... there".
"... are you going to watch?"
"Yes~".
"No!" He said resolutely, but she pulled his sleeve.
"Yes~".
"I will make barriers", He threatened.
"I can easily cross those barriers~" She threatened back.
"What's your problem?! How can you be so inconsiderate!" He felt troubled, after all... if this woman wanted to see, he really didn't have a way to stop her.
"As your Grandma, I have to make sure you're engaging in healthy sexual practices".
"Oh, shut up–"
This woman liked to be called Grandma only when it was convenient for her.
"Hush you!~"
She snatched the vibrecard and pulled him along, decided to see. As for Veyron, he frowned and made up his mind, "Don't complain to me later".
If she wanted to see, he would let her see.

[Veyron's POV]
We followed the vibrecard. Sure enough, she wasn't far away from Sabaody. An Admiral Ship was there as if waiting for pirates to sail to Fishman Island.
I landed on the deck alongside Isabel... the reactions were a bit different from when we landed in Whitebeard's. Soon, all the marines were pointing their guns at us.
'Understandable'.
"L-Lightning God Veyron, don't do anything funny!" They screamed with shivering legs and fingers on the trigger that weren't really locked in.
"I won't...hurry up and call Gion, I need to talk to her", I said with a sigh. I wonder why they're so adamant in following protocol even though they're aware I can just shatter this boat until not even cinders remain.
Someone did go to call Gion, the woman is already aware I am here... she's just tidying up her office a bit.
"Dracule Veyron. I recall telling you last time to at least announce yourself before showing up" Tsuru arrived shortly after with her characteristically old, grumpy face. In this whole big marine boat, and overall, among the marines, she's the only one who knows mine and Gion's relationship.
She knows that I am not here just to 'discuss' things with Gion.
"There is no need for Drama, Granny, I just came to give something to Gion and talk about something with her in private, it is regarding the New World".
When I said that, the atmosphere around us froze a bit, we both paled and felt the Haki eroding the ship.
"Granny... why are you calling her granny?" Isabel's visage was hideous.
!!!!
"S-Saint Esquivel..." It seemed only now Tsuru realised who was standing next to me.
"Long time no see, Tsuru... I see you're a few steps out of the grave".
"It pleases me to have a normal lifespan, thanks" The old lady took the insult with a thick skin; in a way, Isabel did feel the jab.
"Why are you calling her granny?" Isabel asked again, as if I had just insulted her.
"No need to be jealous~" I whispered next to her, and she harrumphed.
"Don't be calling other people Grannies when I am around you, okay?"
"... Hai".
Most of the Marines didn't know who Isabel was, but they noticed I was acting a bit submissive with her. What can I say? You're supposed to respect your elders... I respect her, Garp and Tsuru quite a bit. Isabel just happens to be a bombshell, too.
...
"What is going on here".
Eventually, Admiral Shironeko came alongside Vice Admiral Hina. For some reason, she looked nervous, as if she had been doing something when I arrived.
"Dracule Veyron. I presume you didn't come all the way here just to get arrested" She acted as per our agreement. To the outside world, she's supposed to be my nemesis.
Akainu, Kizaru, Aokiji and Shironeko... they're supposed to be the only marines capable of holding me down. Whenever there is an incident related to me, that's the only time they're all going to be dispatched together.
In fact, by rule, there should only be three Admirals...
Three Admirals together are able to counter or even overpower a Yonko's crew. However, since they knew only three could not contain me, they made an exception and made Gion an Admiral after she secured her spot with power.
"I wouldn't mind being arrested if it's you, Shironeko", I winked at her. She could keep her act all she wanted. It didn't mean I had to follow.
"S-Stop your useless banter and tell me what you're here for", She hissed, albeit with a slight blush, and even took a hold of her Katana as white lightning sparks resurfaced.
Her insulting manner may be fake, but her desire to fight me is real. Aside from Mihawk, Gion is also a swordswoman who enjoys fighting me. No doubt, it could be before or after making a lot of love... but we'd surely have a duel.
"I need to talk to you about something in private" Usually, I'd come up with an excuse, but the truth is, I only came here to see her and spend some time with her; giving her back her eternal log pose was just my excuse to make the journey.
"What is there that you need to talk to me in private?"
As if she enjoyed putting me in a pinch, she licked her lips and smirked.
I didn't have many options, so I pointed at Isabel, "It is regarding her..."
For a moment Gion lost her composure, much to my glee... watching a Knight of God next to me, she must have thought I really had something important to talk about, maybe regarding the Liberators.
"Saint Esquivel, it is a pleasure to have you on my ship".
"Cut to the chase, Veyron needs to talk to you privately, so allow him".
Much to my surprise, my Granny assisted.
"Come... you all, go back to your duties!".
"Ha!"
"Hina, you're in charge".
"Yes, Admiral. Dracule Veyron, don't try anything funny... I will cage you" the pink-haired hottie said to me. It wasn't much of a threat... she didn't know of my relationship with Gion, but she knew I was not hostile towards the marine.
"Hai hai~".
**
**
The group entered Gion's office, which was mainly a lot of books regarding marine conduct, the sea, tales, records of criminals, logs of activities and so forth... She actually had a lot of work as an Admiral.
She locked the door behind them just as Isabel entered and turned to Veyron with a serious expression.
"What is it that you need to– uhm!~"
Just at the moment the doors closed, Gion felt herself get pinned to the wall in shock as her lips were taken, sending her into a state of disarray and confusion.
"Wha–"
Her sealed lips were not the issue, but she couldn't help but see that Isabel was standing there, watching them nonchalantly but with shining eyes.
"W-Wait, Veyron!" She pushed weakly.
The young man took the chance that her mouth was open to kiss her harder and stick his tongue inside. Seeing his passion, Gion's eyes fluttered slightly before she answered in kind, turning them around and kissing back harder. It wasn't until they were both out of breath that she pushed him to the wall, essentially pushing herself away, cleaning her lips.
"W-What is this...? What are you planning? Why is she watching us?"
There were too many things going on that she didn't understand. Veyron coming to her always meant that she would finally have some stress relief, but then he came with visitors, shattering her expectations.
Yet now, once more, she was getting what she wanted, but with a bystander!
"It wasn't a part of my plan for her to watch, but... this is how it turned out~" He said and threw something her way. She took it. It was the eternal pose that Dressrosa borrowed before.
"I'm giving it back".
"Is that what you came here for...?"
"Of course not, I came to spend some time with my woman too".
Gion blushed, bit her lips and put the log pose away, then stared at Isabel, who had just gotten comfortable, sitting on a chair not far away with her legs crossed.
"You don't need to mind me, do what you want to do... I am just an... spectator".
"I don't like having spectators here, though!"
Veyron smirked. He walked slowly and sat on her desk, then he unashamedly unhooked his belt, and then, to their joint disbelief, Veyron Jr popped out.
!!!
Gion was already used to his raunchy manners around her, but it was Isabel's first time seeing it. She gulped and darted her eyes so slightly, only to end up staring at it once more.
"Come here, Gion" He called her with a finger.
The admiral came just as he asked, feeling very helpless and confused still. It was fun to him how, in her various states of nervousness, her white hair morphed from white to black as the spots changed continually. She had the mythological zoan of the white tiger, byakko, a tiger whose fur changed continually.
Even as he shamelessly fondled her breast through the shirt, eventually bypassing it and exposing her breasts, she still held his long member with a lot of reluctance and internal battle.
For one, she wanted to completely gobble it up, but then... she didn't want someone else to watch that side of hers that was desperate for her lover.
"Veyron... s-somebody is watching, now is not..."
Rather than back off, Veyron pressed forward, his hand that had been fondling her boob slowly unbuttoned every button of her shirt one by one, undid her skirt, slid the zipper down, hooked on her panties and took everything down in one clean motion that left her breathless.
'God of Lightning indeed, he's so fast~'.
Despite their circumstances, she couldn't help but be happy at her lover's skilled hands.
"Let her watch... it has been so long since you, and I got a bit intimate... didn't you miss me?"
"I did, B-But..."
He went for a kiss, but not on the lips but rather her cheeks, which were more intimate and impactful to her.
"Every time we are outside, I have to suffer how you treat me coldly and keep pretences... even now... are you going to treat me coldly even now?"
She couldn't resist the eyes. Gion bit her lips and knelt down; a part of her felt she needed to make things right. After all, it was the truth; she did treat him very coldly when others were looking because she couldn't bear to be discovered by the higher-ups. If it were known that she, of all people, was in a relationship with him, it wouldn't just destroy her career as a marine.
She would be put down as a traitor for the rest of history.
So deep inside, she felt she was wronging Veyron.
"I am sorry... You know we have no choice", She gave his member a long lick from the base up to the tip that made Veyron shiver.
"I will make it up for you" she mumbled with hearts in her eyes, perhaps even she herself was unaware of how deep she had fallen to the point she'd make excuses and see herself as the perpetrator.
"But you know I love you... I do all this for your sake," She mumbled while giving pecks along his length.
She, a woman three times this boy's age, had been so hopelessly conquered... even when in the past she could only see Veyron as some pesky brat that was unaware of what the actual responsibility of his powers was.
"Oh yes?~ I remember how we were once like water and oil. Do you really love me? I can't feel it~".
Veyron decided to push it a bit, but he failed.
Seeing how he was pushing it, Gion growled and took his balls within her palm, squeezing them hard.
!!!
"G-Gion!"
"Don't try to play the victim and force me into a disadvantageous position, brat! I am here all alone while you're there with all your lovers, spending your life day in and out in a laboratory. It is you who hasn't come to see me until now!"
"I am sorry, I am sorry!"
As fast as lightning, the tables turned, and Gion remembered that the one who was wronged most of the time was herself! Her lover had a sea of women to please, and somehow, because of their situation, she'd usually get the least attention.
The stress from work, and the stress of knowing that somewhere at some point anywhere in the world, her man was getting taken... produced a never-ending influx of distress.
She caught him and threw him to the sofa, not too far away from Isabel. The sudden violence surprised her, making her jump on her little sofa in the corner of the room in awe. Veyron landed on the sofa, a bit dazed.
Gion caught up as she discarded her garments, throwing them along the office until she remained only in an open shirt that scraped along her proud nipples, looking way too delicious.
She yanked his trousers away, no mercy.
"Give me your cock–"
"Wait, Gion! I wanted something more romantic".
"Romantic? Do you know how pent up I am? I had to get scolding after scolding after scolding, all because of that national tribute... you're going to have to deal with the stress your woman has caused me... that's what lovers are for, right?~"
Isabel covered her eyes, but not really; she watched it all in amazement.
She knew what sex was, but it was her first time watching somebody else do it. Let along, things didn't go the way she thought. She thought Veyron would dominate the admiral with overwhelming strength... nothing further from the truth.
Veyron gulped. He saw how, in her horniness, Gion's eyes turned into slits, her hair grew longer and whiter as she crawled on top, landing on him and claiming his lips.
"I want all of you, Veyron.... every... single... bit", She said amidst their muffled moans.
Like a tiger climbing atop the mountains, she mounted her lover on the sofa, claws on his shoulders, lips and tongue taken.
Shironeko Gion gave one slightly look to Isabel while taking Veyron's sturdy member and rubbing it against her wet vagina until it was all coated and sweetly lubricated. No need for any foreplay, her insides were already screaming to be filled from the moment she knew he had landed.
Resolving herself to ignore Isabel's presence, the tiger dug into her long-awaited meal with a moan that more resembled a growl.
"AHN!~"
