[Task: Win the hearts of two women]
[Current Affection Level for Domino: 888/500 (Achieved)]
[Current Affection Level for Aili: 400/500 (Not Achieved)]
Vivian: ???
He raised his hand and gave Domino a hard slap on the butt.
"Ah!" Accompanied by a moan.
[Current Affection Level for Domino: 890/500]
Vivian: "..."
"Can you get along with Aili from now on?"
"I..I.."
Slap!
[Current Affection Level for Domino: 893/500]
"I can do it.."
"Hiss~" Vivian took a deep breath.
This actually works?
If he had known this earlier, he would have done it sooner.
Look at her now, enjoying it. The harder Vivian hit, the more she enjoyed it.
This was not like hitting her at all; it was more like giving her a massage!
"I never thought that besides being a yandere, Domino is also a masochist," he thought to himself.
This attribute... is maxed out!
So, under Aili's extremely shocked gaze, Vivian rolled up his sleeves, and soon the sound of "slap slap" filled the entire room.
After an hour, Domino lay in the bed with a happy expression, fast asleep. Only then did Vivian sigh in relief and went back to the living room, holding Aili.
First, he had Aili wait for a while. Vivian spent about twenty minutes, working quickly to prepare a meal of three dishes and one soup. He then served the food on the table, filled a bowl of rice for Aili, and used one hand to serve her food while the other hand supported his chin. He smiled at her, his eyes filled with affection.
As expected, feeling Vivian's loving gaze, Aili immediately lowered her head, her face flushed with embarrassment, almost burying her head in the bowl.
[Current Affection Level for Aili: 402/500 (Not Achieved)]
This girl is quite easy to win over.
Vivian was overjoyed inside, but his expression remained unchanged. He then walked behind Aili, pulled out a hair tie from somewhere, and tied up Aili's long hair.
"Eat slowly, don't choke. Oh, by the way, I heard that people on your ship aren't very good with chopsticks. Should I feed you?"
Vivian said, not waiting for Aili's response. Under her blushing face, he picked up a piece of meat and brought it to Aili's mouth: "Ah~~~"
Aili: o(*///▽///*)o
...
The girl shed her innocence, completing her transformation in the dark night.
When Aili still had tears in the corners of her eyes, her entire body tightly wrapped in the blanket, and she fell into a deep sleep, Vivian sat on the edge of the bed. He lit a cigar and began to puff away.
[Current Affection Level for Aili: 520/500 (Achieved)]
[You have completed the current task]
[Reward calculation in progress..]
[Congratulations, you have randomly obtained a special skill: Meditation]
[Skill: Meditation]
[Effect: After sitting still, you can recover 10 points of energy per minute]
"Wow."
Ten points of energy per minute?
Because it's very difficult to increase the "spirit" attribute each time, his total energy is just over a hundred. Therefore, it only takes ten minutes to fully restore his energy. This special skill… is really amazing.
However, it's not very useful in combat. After all, which enemy would stop fighting and wait for you to meditate on the ground to restore your energy before continuing to attack you?
"So, the issue with these two women is temporarily resolved…"
But in the future, will things always develop as he expects?
He sighed with some melancholy and then turned to look at the brilliant night sky.
"I really want… to jump to the finale already…"
…
A month and a half later.
"The Straw Hat Pirates have regrouped, destroyed two Pacifistas on the Sabaody Archipelago, and then entered the deep sea to Fish-Man Island."
"With a bounty of 400 million, Straw Hat Luffy officially enters the New World!"
"After Loget Larvin, another new generation force has emerged. Will Straw Hat Luffy have a place in the New World in the future?"
The headlines on the newspapers kept coming.
Similarly, because the existence of the Pacifistas was exposed on the Sabaody Archipelago two years ago, it was also reported. Now, almost everyone knows about these war machines, and the world government and navy institutions have even increased their authority, making their dominance more stable.
"The Straw Hat crew has finally entered the New World?"
Vivian tossed the newspaper aside and then opened the scouting interface in the system.
"Hey, Luffy, ahead is Fish-Man Island!"
"Yahoo——!"
Soon, the shouts of the Straw Hat crew reached his ears.
After watching for a few more moments, Vivian yawned, rested his head on Aili's lap, and began to nap in the sunlight.
At the same time, the warship sailed slowly on the sea, occasionally sounding its horn, as if announcing its presence to the surroundings. However, after several hours, not a single pirate or sea king was seen. The bored marines on the deck wiped the sweat from their foreheads and occasionally glanced at Vivian, who was napping, with a hint of envy in their eyes.
"Captain Vivian is really amazing…"
"Yeah, not only is he sleeping on the lap of the new female marine, but even Captain Domino is willingly fanning and wiping his sweat…"
"Two women serving one man?"
"Captain Vivian is really lucky…"
"Indeed, with Captain Vivian's looks, which girl in the navy wouldn't like him?"
"And he's so strong…"
"Although he can't beat Loget Larvin, that guy is second only to the Four Emperors, the strongest recognized in the New World today. It's normal not to be able to beat him."
They nodded vigorously as they chatted.
Just as everyone was enjoying their conversation, a flock of sea swallows suddenly flew over from the front. As they were about to pass the warship, they flapped their wings and circled above.
"Hmm?"
The marines looked up.
The next second, a series of chirps were heard, and one of the sea swallows descended vertically, landing in Vivian's left palm, to everyone's astonishment.
"Chirp chirp chirp… chirp chirp chirp…"
"Mm, mm-hmm, go on."
"Chirp chirp chirp, chirp chirp…"
"Oh? What did you say? There's a large shipwreck ahead? Where?"
Vivian gently stroked the sea swallow's feathers, asking with great concern.
The marines: ???
