Chapter 25
After hearing my words, the people on the ship were still stunned—probably didn't understand what "robbery" meant.
I suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. I finally came up with a cool line, but it didn't have the effect I wanted.
Looking around, there were about twenty men on deck—all rough, foot-picking brutes with fierce looks, now paired with dumbfounded expressions.
I instantly felt deflated and roared again: "Hand over everything valuable you have!"
At the same time, I stomped the deck. A shockwave burst from under my foot, spreading outward along the ground. Wherever it hit, everyone was launched into the air—but they didn't fall. Instead, they all froze mid-air in bizarre poses, as if time had stopped. Of course—this was the power of my telekinesis fruit.
"Got it now?!" I stomped again. Everyone crashed back to the deck.
Now they finally understood—this guy was here to rob them. But after witnessing my ability, these ordinary pirates completely lost any will to resist. One by one, they timidly started moving, carrying out gold, jewelry, and cash from the cabins.
"That's more like it." Ignoring the busy worker bees, I turned to Tashigi. "How about it? Feel impressed? Am I awesome?"
Tashigi's expression wasn't good. The stronger I seemed, the worse it was for her.
"Cut the crap. If you're going to kill me, do it now—no need to humiliate me!" She bit her lip, closed her eyes, looking ready to die heroically.
"I'm not planning to kill you. On the contrary—I want to recruit you. How about it? Become my crewmate. Join my ship and adventure with me. I'll take you to collect famous swords." I spoke to Tashigi with a sincere face.
Unfortunately, Tashigi wasn't buying it. She glared at me with hatred.
"You're just a despicable pirate. I'll never stoop to your level. Just kill me already." Tashigi looked utterly righteous and indignant.
I was speechless for a moment, awkwardly scratching my head. Well… guess I'm officially the villain now.
While I was feeling awkward, a big guy ran over.
"Um… we've brought out everything valuable on the ship…" The man who seemed like the leader spoke cautiously, fearfully looking at me.
I turned and saw a small pile of glittering gold, jewelry, and cash on the deck. Though divine sense showed more hidden in the cabins, I didn't bother. With a sweep of telekinesis, I pulled the pile to me and stored it in my spatial ring.
"Thanks for the generous donation, bosses~" Under everyone's shocked gazes, I grabbed Tashigi and shot into the sky—disappearing over the horizon.
...
Back on Loguetown's main street, I strolled around with great interest.
I hadn't restrained Tashigi in any way. She followed behind me like someone who had accepted her fate.
Because I told her: every time she tried to escape, I'd strip off one piece of her clothing. After two escape attempts, her jacket and gloves were already gone. Now she only had a floral shirt left on top.
I secretly hoped she'd run again—so I could watch her walk the streets in just a bra.
Having money changes everything—I spent without hesitation. Actually didn't buy much—mostly food. With the Desire Space, I lacked nothing. Mainly just enjoying the atmosphere.
Soon I brought Tashigi to the central square. Looking at the tall execution platform in the middle, I couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"So this is where the Pirate King died…" Roger, oh Roger—where exactly is that treasure you mentioned? My main quest has zero clues.
While I was staring blankly at the execution platform, Tashigi tried to run again. Her target: a nearby Navy patrol squad.
"Hurry! Call for backup! There's a 50 million Berry criminal here!" Tashigi shouted while running toward the soldiers.
"Ah—it's Sergeant Tashigi!" Hearing her, the patrol immediately became alert.
Just as Tashigi was about to reach them, her body froze in place.
Then I appeared beside her.
"Decided what to take off this time? Shirt or pants?" I leered at the immobilized Tashigi.
"Hurry—call for backup! Quick!" Ignoring my teasing, Tashigi continued shouting at the squad.
The patrol leader—though confused—pulled out a Den Den Mushi and called for reinforcements.
"Made up your mind yet? Shirt or pants? Which one? Or maybe the glasses?" Ignoring the soldiers, I pressed.
"Hmph—just wait. Our reinforcements will be here soon." Tashigi finally saw a glimmer of hope—her voice gained confidence.
"You think I'm afraid of your backup?" I reached toward the soldiers and telekinetically lifted one into the air.
Condensing mental power into a blade, I sliced off his arm. Instantly—amid a heart-rending scream—blood sprayed everywhere.
"I hope you decide before I kill them all." Saying so, I sliced off his other arm too.
"Nooo!" Seeing her comrade injured, Tashigi burst into tears in panic.
The smell of blood strangely excited me. Ignoring Tashigi's cries, I swiftly cut off both his legs at the knees.
"Next is the head. Still haven't decided?" I finally looked at Tashigi.
"I'll take it off! I'll take it off! The shirt! I'll take off the shirt!" Tashigi cried hysterically, tears streaming.
"Good girl~" I released Tashigi's restraints and watched her slowly unbutton her shirt.
Looking at the innocent soldier lying in a pool of blood, I remembered that strange sadistic urge earlier. That definitely wasn't me—what was that? I touched my chest—was it the magic array's influence?
Using telekinesis, I reattached his limbs. With dual effects of Horm-Horm Fruit and Energy Infusion, the innocent soldier escaped permanent disability—restored to normal.
After all—I'm not a cruel person.
Turning back, I immediately got excited again. Tashigi had already removed her shirt—now only wearing a plain white bra. The style was ordinary, but on this young woman's body, it made me desperately want to rip it off.
Tashigi's figure was unexpectedly impressive. Ignoring her gaze mixed with fear and hatred, I leered at that deep cleavage. Even though she desperately covered herself with her hands, she couldn't hide the overflowing spring scenery.
Quietly using the Horm-Horm Fruit, I raised Tashigi's estrogen levels several times—turning her into an extremely easily aroused state.
"Let's go—continue our stroll." With a wave, I knocked out the entire Navy squad. Then I continued walking into town with half-naked Tashigi.
After the earlier incident, the street was packed with onlookers—various gazes landing on me and Tashigi.
Tashigi felt her face burning. Exposed skin felt strangely sensitive—as if countless eyes were licking her all over. Covering her chest, head lowered, tears flowing, she followed behind me. She already knew the consequences of disobedience.
I brought Tashigi into a bar. Her revealing outfit immediately drew gasps.
Calmly walking to the bar counter, I motioned for Tashigi to sit beside me. Tashigi's tears never stopped. Head lowered, she silently sat next to me.
When her butt touched the chair, Tashigi realized her lower body was soaked. She was absolutely sure she hadn't lost bladder control. The virgin girl had no idea what this unknown liquid was.
The drenched panties clung to her skin—making Tashigi feel extremely uncomfortable. Her pretty face turned even redder.
Tashigi's changes obviously didn't escape my eyes or divine sense. I ignored it—ordered two beers, placed one in front of Tashigi, and drank by myself.
Tashigi never touched her glass—just sat there uneasily in silence. During this time, I used divine sense to scare off several guys who tried to hit on her.
Tashigi stayed silent. I drank alone. Unknowingly, several mugs emptied.
Feeling full enough, I was about to take Tashigi and continue strolling when a large group of Navy soldiers rushed into the bar—clearing everyone out and surrounding me and Tashigi.
Then Smoker appeared at the bar entrance—still with that arrogant cigar-chomping look.
"Hey kid—let Tashigi go." Even his tone was arrogant—making me want to beat him again.
"Captain Smoker!" Hearing Smoker's voice, Tashigi immediately turned her head. Then—as if finally finding an outlet—she burst into loud crying.
"What's wrong, Smoker—tired of living again?" I finished the remaining half mug of beer, stood up, and looked at Smoker mockingly.
"Kid, you're too arrogant. Last time I was careless—this time you're definitely going to lose." Smoker took another Seastone baton from his back. Looked like they were mass-produced.
Too lazy to listen to more nonsense, I formed a telekinetic barrier around him and began squeezing hard.
Turning to smoke didn't help—at least his physical body could resist the barrier's contraction.
Even with preparation, Smoker lost from the start.
Colorless and invisible telekinesis was impossible to defend against. By the time Smoker realized, it was already too late.
"Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!" I accelerated the barrier's squeeze—Smoker curled into a ball, screaming from pressure and pain.
"Die in this pathetic state!" This time I genuinely intended to kill.
"No! Captain Smoker!" Tashigi couldn't sit still anymore—she grabbed my collar desperately.
"You bastard! Let him go!"
