"Mmm… Lynn-nii~!"
In the dim underground cellar, Lynn was performing mouth-to-mouth on Kaya.
While it wasn't exactly polite to take a girl's first kiss this way… he was just too worried. (Definitely not because he was craving it. Nope.)
Thus, Kaya was woken up by being thoroughly "devoured." From initial resistance, she slowly weakened, and eventually… started enjoying it.
By the time he let go, she had completely collapsed into Lynn's arms, her head dizzy as she listened to his shameless explanation.
"Kaya, you suddenly fainted, so I had no choice but to give you CPR. You're not mad, right?"
Kaya: "…"
CPR... needs a tongue? Unbelievable!
"No answer? That means you're not mad. Don't worry, Kaya. I'll take full responsibility."
Lynn's eyes were intense, predatory, locked onto the blushing girl like he wanted to devour her whole.
But really, it wasn't entirely his fault—his Yinglong Form came with a special R18+ buff:
[Innate Dragon Lust (R18+ Passive)]A real dragon never does drugs or gambling—only indulgence! Let the ancient dragon's primal aura roam free!
Lynn had no idea what "primal aura" meant. All he knew was—Kaya right now looked way too tempting.
Lynn: "Welp, so much for keeping my cool.jpg"
Kaya: "..."
She said nothing, just blushing furiously.
I nearly died being kissed!
But... something about Lynn seemed different.
Even in the faint light, she could see enormous golden wings bursting from his back, tearing through his shirt. His transformation made her heart race.
His already-handsome features were now downright celestial. His piercing gaze seemed to pull her very soul in.
If there's a most beautiful man in the world, he's it…
"Lynn-nii… what's happening to you?"
"Just the power from the fruit," Lynn replied calmly. "Thanks to your gift, I finally have the strength to aim for the summit."
Then, he casually kissed her again.
"Mmm—!"
Kaya whimpered in a daze, then melted into his embrace.
"As long as Lynn-nii's happy," she whispered.
"Very happy," he replied.
Scooping her into his arms, Lynn pulled his wings back in and strode toward the surface—his face lit with a cocky Uchiha-level smirk.
The dark cellar was illuminated by his aura alone. His silver-grey hair and godlike presence radiated a pressure that swallowed all light.
Even his Conqueror's Haki had awakened.
"One in a million? Please. There are hundreds of Conquerors in a world of billions."
To Lynn, Conqueror's Haki was no special gift—just a VIP ticket to the real game.
"True power lies in Advanced Conqueror's Coating… only then can you take a seat at the emperor's table."
He stepped into the light, silver hair glowing, his breath radiating a masculine heat that ignited the feminine mind.
"So... so handsome…"
Kaya blushed uncontrollably, clinging to his neck.
"Nii-san… I feel strange…"
The dragon's aura was silently taking hold.
He was her hero, and now her desires were unraveling.
The girl gave in... completely.
Lynn said nothing—he carried her straight to her bedroom.
Kaya's face turned beet red.
She knew exactly what was about to happen—but made no move to resist.
In fact, her grip on his neck… tightened.
Meanwhile, on the shoreline of Syrup Village…
A small boat lay docked. The Straw Hat Pirates had gathered, staring toward the distant mansion in silence.
There was a meat-loving glutton, a green-haired swordsman who always got lost, a long-nosed braggart, and a red-haired girl lost in thought.
"If a guy wants to leave, just let him," Usopp boasted. "With me—Captain Usopp—joining your crew, I'll fill his place perfectly. You'll se—OW!!"
Before he could finish, Luffy smacked him across the head.
"You idiot! Why'd you hit me!?"
"I never agreed to let Lynn leave! Don't talk nonsense!" Luffy shouted, eyes blazing.
Usopp shrank back, rubbing his head.
"Even if you didn't agree, you can't stop him…"
Luffy ignored him and got up, walking toward the mansion.
"Where are you going?" Zoro asked, hand on his sword.
"To apologize. You guys misunderstood Lynn. I'm sure he just said that out of anger. I'm not letting him go!"
Zoro frowned deeply and stepped in front of Luffy.
"You didn't do anything wrong. As captain, you don't owe him an apology. If he wants to leave, let him."
"No! I won't let him stay behind! Absolutely not!"
"Luffy, if someone's already decided to leave, there's no convincing them," Zoro said. "You should give up."
Tension mounted between Zoro, Luffy, and Usopp by the coast.
Only Nami stood silently, staring toward the mansion with a conflicted look.
Compared to this fragile crew, she would rather stay by Lynn's side…
But she couldn't.
Because she couldn't afford to bring danger to him.
