The Papers were scattered across the mahogany desk, two chairs slightly pushed away haphazardly, and the once-tidy files looked like they'd been through a storm.
And at the center sat Luffy, a lazy yet satisfied grin plastered on his face, while his muscular arm was still wrapped snugly around Hina's waist.
Hina, flushed, disheveled, and thoroughly spoiled, lay against his chest, her uniform unbuttoned and slightly disorganized. Her lips were still slightly swollen from their heated exchange earlier, and her eyes carried a dangerous mix of satisfaction and longing.
"Mmm..." Hina hummed softly, her fingers drawing circles on his chest. "Hina doesn't want to move..."
Luffy chuckled, running his hand through her silky pink hair. "You say that, but you'll have to let me go, you know."
"Hmph..." Hina pouted, clutching him tighter. "Luffy can't just mess Hina up like that and then leave so soon."
Her voice was sweetly accusing. "You still haven't made up for last night."
"Oh?" Luffy raised a brow, his mischievous smirk deepening. "I think I did a pretty good job messing you up just now."
His hand drifted lower, giving her plush rear a firm, audible smack!
"Ahn~!" Hina's body trembled, her face turning crimson. "L-Luffy!!"
"Hehe~" Luffy chuckled darkly, watching her squirm in his arms. "You're getting too comfortable, woman. You'll make me wanna keep you all to myself."
"And what's wrong with that?" Hina turned her face up to meet his gaze, her half-lidded eyes shimmering with desire. "Hina doesn't mind being kept..."
Luffy's heart skipped slightly, and for a brief moment, the urge to drag her back to his room and have his way with her almost overwhelmed him. But—
"Tch... Damn it," Luffy shook his head, his primal urge barely suppressed. "I can't stay tonight. I have something to do."
Hina's face immediately fell. "What?"
"Yeah," Luffy exhaled, shifting her off his lap, much to her dismay. "I'm heading out tonight. I probably won't be back until tomorrow."
"Hmph!" Hina folded her arms, glaring playfully. "Luffy always runs off after messing with Hina. Is Hina not enough for Luffy?"
"Oi, oi..." Luffy laughed, fixing his slightly ruffled coat. "Don't get it twisted. If I stayed any longer, you'd break. You're already addicted, aren't you?"
"Tch..." Hina scowled, her cheeks burning. "Hina doesn't want to admit it... but yes, she's addicted."
Luffy's grin widened devilishly. "Heh. Good girl."
He suddenly leaned down and captured her lips in a fierce kiss, his tongue dominating her mouth, making her knees turn weak.
"Mmmph..." Hina moaned into his mouth, her nails digging into his chest. "Damn you, Luffy..."
After a moment, he pulled back, a string of saliva still connecting their lips. "I'll be back, don't worry."
"Tch..." Hina bit her lip in frustration. "Where are you even going?"
"Business," Luffy shrugged. "And no, I'm not telling you because you'd get curious and follow me. So be a good girl and wait for me, yeah?"
"Hmph..." Hina scoffed, fixing her uniform while still glaring cutely. "Fine. But you owe Hina two nights of making up for it when you return."
"Hehe~" Luffy grinned. "Deal."
As Luffy stepped out of the Marine Base, he squinted up at the sky. The sun was still shining harshly, casting its intense glare upon the island. Yet, his mind was already racing elsewhere.
"Tch... I'd better get moving," He muttered. "This thing's bothering me way too much..."
With a deep breath, Luffy activated his Rumble-Rumble Fruit. Electricity immediately crackled around his body, tiny blue streaks flickering around his skin.
Luffy grinned. "Alright... let's get this over with."
BOOM!!
In the blink of an eye, his body disintegrated into pure lightning and shot into the sky like a thunderbolt. The loud CRACKLE and BOOM of his departure caused several sailors to stumble back in awe.
"Holy shit!!"
"Did you see that?!"
"How did lightning fall on this clear day!!"
As Luffy soared through the sky, his mind was already elsewhere.
"Let's go and meet my other spoiled girl," He muttered. "Who knows how long it will take before I meet her again?"
Back at the Marine Base, Hina stood on the balcony, watching the sky where Luffy had disappeared. Her heart felt oddly heavy despite the fact that she knew he'd return.
"Tch... Damn you, Luffy..." She muttered, her nails digging into the railing. "You didn't even tell Hina where you were going..."
A soft voice suddenly interrupted her. "Commander?"
Hina turned to see one of her subordinates, looking hesitant. "Yes?"
"Uh... I-Is Rear Admiral Luffy... gone again?"
Hina's jaw clenched as she forced a smile. "Yes. He had something urgent to do."
The sailor sighed. "Man... I don't blame you for falling for him. That guy's practically a walking demigod."
"...Shut up." Hina's face burned, but deep inside, she didn't deny it.
She sighed heavily and rested her palm against her chest. "Hina is really in trouble..."
------
Luffy's body zipped across the sea like pure lightning. His speed was ungodly — fast enough to make the very clouds tremble as his crackling form shot through them.
"Hehe..." Luffy smirked, the wind howling around him. "Man, this power is great..."
Traveling from island to island in minutes, Luffy's mind was laser-focused as he covered the large distance in a matter of seconds.
Soon, his destination came into his view, and a smile appeared on his handsome face.
The air was thick with the scent of blooming hibiscus and the salt of the ocean. The island, small and seemingly unremarkable, held a secret so precious to Luffy that his heart thundered with anticipation.
After his swift lightning travel, Luffy arrived on this remote island, a place he had burned into his memory ever since he found her.
He didn't want to scare anyone, so he decided to land in the forest.
Dressed in his Marine uniform, Luffy didn't hesitate. With a soft sigh, he slipped off his Rear Admiral coat, folding it neatly before tossing it into his inventory. He knew it would only complicate things if he showed up in uniform.
Instead, he now wore his casual plain t-shirt and loose black pants, exposing his chiseled muscles.
With a confident stride, Luffy approached the small yet cozy house nestled at the edge of the village. It wasn't extravagant, but it was perfect — built for two. His lips curled into a possessive smirk as he placed his hand on the doorknob. Without knocking, he simply pushed it open and walked in.
"Tch. You left it unlocked again," He muttered to himself. "This woman really doesn't fear anything..."
