June 10, 1503, Age of the Sea Circle
Using Geppo, Orion approached Broyé's ship and descended openly onto the deck of the enormous vessel, drawing the surprised gazes of the pirate crew present.
Broyé, who had been carefully watching Orion as he drew near, stepped forward with a confident smile and an innate air of superiority. As one of the older daughters of the Charlotte family, she was used to being in a position of power no matter where she went, and over time that had shaped an innate arrogance almost carved into her very bones.
Even so, Broyé had a rather serious and calm personality, and she was undoubtedly among the most "normal" people within Big Mom's pirate family. Although she carried herself with an arrogant posture, she still maintained a notably diplomatic attitude wherever she went, making her one of the most well-regarded members of the family in the eyes of the outside world.
"Good afternoon. What brings you to my ship today, sir?" Broyé asked with a polite smile, though her gaze was sharp.
She was prepared to enter combat at any moment if Orion made even the slightest suspicious move.
Orion, who had been about to greet Broyé in a friendly way, found his words stuck in his throat as he stared in surprise at the beautiful pirate. However, he quickly understood that Broyé had not recognized him, since the last time they had seen each other, he had been in his natural form—a small child.
Now Orion stood before her in his adult form, altered by his "Age Change" ability, so it was understandable that she hadn't recognized him. Even if he had presented himself in his current natural form, she still wouldn't have known who he was, since his body had already entered adolescence and, aside from a few childish facial features, he carried the frame of a grown man.
Not wanting to cause unnecessary trouble over a misunderstanding, Orion simply took out the Vivre Card she had given him many years ago from his inventory, waving it in front of her as he said,
"Sister-in-law, don't tell me you've already forgotten me. I'm Orion, from the South Blue. Remember you gave me this Vivre Card after I rescued Galette?"
Orion's words completely stunned Broyé, who would never have expected that the mysterious man standing before her was the gravely injured child she had encountered in the South Blue years ago.
However, as she looked at his handsome face and his body carved like stone with impressive muscles, Broyé subtly furrowed her brow in uncertainty. Could that child really have turned into this man in such a short time?
His development seemed a little… exaggerated.
Orion immediately noticed the inquisitive look in the beautiful pirate's eyes and easily deduced what she was thinking. For that reason, he simply dispelled his Age Change ability, allowing his body to return to its natural state.
He instantly shrank by about twenty to thirty centimeters, and the maturity in his face vanished, revealing instead a somewhat awkward look, as he was in that strange transitional age between childhood and adulthood.
Additionally, Orion opened a door in the air and, reaching into his Pocket Dimension, took out two more items: the chest she had given him years ago and the Den Den Mushi with which he could contact her if he ever needed something.
"Now you should believe me, right? If you want, I can tell you everything that happened that day—I even remember the kind of underwear you were wearing!" Orion said, flashing a slightly provocative and playful smile that made Broyé appear surprised for a brief second.
However, her surprise lasted only a moment before she began to laugh coquettishly, stepping forward and placing a finger under Orion's chin.
"There's no need to say so much. You really are that little boy… Look at how you've grown," Broyé said with a slightly sensual demeanor that Orion hadn't seen from her the last time.
Although Broyé was a rather serious and calm woman, she was still a pirate, and she could certainly be quite liberal when she wished. At the moment, she was returning home after a tedious diplomatic visit to her husband's kingdom, so Orion's presence was like a breath of fresh air arriving just in time to distract her a little.
"And you shouldn't lie about those things," Broyé said with a playful smile, and leaning close to Orion's ear, she whispered softly,
"That day, I wasn't wearing any underwear."
Orion felt a jolt run through his body, but before he could say or do anything, Broyé had already stepped back, putting a prudent distance between them once more.
"So then, my dear brother-in-law, why have you come this time? Do you want me to take you home so you can make Galette your wife? I must warn you that it's not very likely my mother would allow it," Broyé said, looking Orion up and down.
Feeling her scrutinizing gaze, Orion activated his Age Change ability again, returning to his adult form—the one he felt most comfortable in. Then he cleared his throat and answered,
"Ahem, no. I was simply in the area and decided to come greet you and ask about Galette and Poire. How have they been lately?"
"Ahem, no. I was simply in the area and decided to come say hello and ask about Galette and Poire. How have they been lately?"
Upon hearing Orion's words, Broyé's expression softened a little, losing the last trace of alertness she still carried. Then, with her usual calm, she explained the situation regarding her two younger sisters and what they had been doing throughout the past few years.
Orion listened attentively, imagining the daily life of his two nominal fiancées within Big Mom's crew. Finally, after a few minutes of recounting, Broyé finished reporting the main points about the current condition of her little sisters and concluded by saying:
"Anyway, they're lucky that my mother hasn't decided to arrange a marriage for them yet, although they probably won't have that luck for much longer."
After that, Broyé paused briefly, looking at Orion with a deep gaze, and added:
"So if you truly plan on taking them as your wives, you're going to have to increase your power, and fast. Otherwise, it will be too late."
There was a hint of melancholy and resignation in the young woman's voice, although it wasn't because of her younger sisters' future arranged marriages, but because of her own. Just like many of Big Mom's children, Broyé was not happy with her arranged marriage, but she had no choice but to accept it since it was a direct order from her mother.
After hearing the pirate's warning, Orion nodded slightly, not showing much emotion. He already knew the situation of the famous Charlotte pirate family, so Broyé's words were nothing new to him.
In truth, he had already mentally prepared himself for the fact that he would have to visit Big Mom and confront her directly in the future if he truly wanted to fulfill his promise of marrying Galette, and he was ready to do so when the time came.
Although at the moment his power was nowhere near high enough to even consider presenting himself before the legendary pirate, he believed that in five or ten more years he would have the strength necessary to at least make himself heard.
As for what would happen if Big Mom decided to arrange a marriage for Galette before he was ready to confront her, Orion tried not to think too much about it. If such a case occurred, he would have no choice but to take emergency action under unfavorable conditions, so he hoped it wouldn't come to that.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. If it really becomes necessary, I have no problem presenting myself before your mother and facing her," Orion said with an aggressive smile, unconsciously releasing a bit of his Conqueror's Haki.
Broyé opened her mouth in surprise, looking at Orion with shining eyes as if she were seeing a treasure, and for a moment she thought that he was the kind of man she would have needed at her side, instead of her cowardly husband who didn't even dare to hold her hand.
As soon as this thought appeared in her mind, Broyé couldn't suppress a cascade of similar thoughts that emerged from the depths of her being. For years, she had been repressing her emotions and most basic desires, so once those thoughts were slightly freed, it was like a domino effect inside the mind of the beautiful pirate.
In an instant, the way she was looking at Orion changed drastically, and she began to notice that Orion in his current state was a truly attractive man who matched her personal tastes…
On the other hand, Orion didn't notice the change in Broyé, since his mind was now focused on the system screen.
He had come here only to greet his sister-in-law and obtain information about Galette and Poire. Now that he knew both girls were doing well, he didn't have much reason to stay, so he was already thinking about the next route to take to continue his journey.
However, while Orion was immersed in his thoughts about his imminent trip, Broyé signaled to her subordinates who were standing around, and they immediately withdrew from the place in a rush as if fleeing in terror.
Only then did Orion notice that something strange was happening, and when he turned to look at Broyé, he saw that she was completely naked!
The tight dress she had been wearing just a moment ago was now on the ground, and the splendid curves of the pirate were displayed in their full glory.
Orion couldn't help lowering his gaze and focusing on Broyé's huge, seductive breasts, which had small pink nipples hardened by the sea breeze.
Swallowing hard, Orion tried to control the fire rising within him, lifting his gaze again to look Broyé in the eyes with an inquisitive expression.
"Do you like what you see, Orion?" Broyé said as she took a step forward, causing her breasts to sway in an almost hypnotic way.
Looking at the pirate's crotch, which was neatly trimmed, Orion sighed once more, thinking that he had once again found himself in a difficult situation.
Given his lascivious nature, it was impossible for him not to react at all when a beautiful woman like Broyé presented herself to him so openly, but even so, she was his sister-in-law, so he didn't know whether he should move forward and embrace his desire or not.
Even in the chaotic world of pirates, there weren't many rules, so Galette and Poire wouldn't have any issues even if Orion were to take Broyé as his wife as well. However, Orion didn't want to push things too far with Big Mom's daughters.
Taking one of her daughters as a wife was one thing, taking two might be problematic but still acceptable, but taking three… that was practically a provocation against the legendary pirate herself, since it was well-known that she often arranged marriages for her children to expand her sphere of power.
In Big Mom's eyes, her daughters were not only family, but valuable assets with strategic and political worth.
Broyé saw that Orion wasn't reacting to her direct attack, and she assumed he thought she was either pretending or testing him. For that reason, she decided to be even more straightforward, and stepping forward, she threw herself into his arms and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"You know, the last time we saw each other I was single, but now I'm a married woman," Broyé whispered softly into Orion's ear, causing that electric current of desire and pleasure to surge through his entire body once again.
Even so, Orion made no move to respond to Broyé's advances. Although the pirate's words made the situation even more enticing, his morality wouldn't allow him to take another man's wife.
It wasn't that Orion was a saint, but he had set certain limits for himself so he wouldn't lose himself entirely to pleasure. After all, one needed a certain amount of control to avoid becoming no different from a wild animal.
Broyé could guess exactly what he was thinking—he practically had it written on his face—and with a seductive smile, she continued speaking.
"See this crown I'm wearing? It's the symbol of authority that identifies me as the queen of the kingdom where my husband is king."
Orion lifted his gaze and looked at the exquisite crown on the pirate's head. At this moment, the crown was the only thing she wore on her naked body, creating a powerful contrast that was difficult for the lustful Orion to endure.
"My mother wanted to take control of my husband's territory and his great army, so she simply ordered me to marry him. The wedding ceremony was two years ago…"
Broyé recounted her experiences with a distant look, recalling everything that had happened back then. Meanwhile, she continued embracing Orion with her naked body, rubbing against him sensually while keeping her arms wrapped around his neck.
Orion lowered his head slightly and inhaled the sweet scent of Broyé's body. In the magical world of One Piece, it wasn't strange for all sorts of inexplicable things to exist, and one such thing was that pirates who spent their lives at sea—like Broyé—could still smell so pleasant.
And after breathing in the scent of the naked woman in his arms, his body reacted involuntarily, as if responding viscerally to the stimulus before him. Perhaps it was the pheromones of the beautiful pirate, who was now in a state naturally inclined toward union with Orion.
"Even though I didn't want to marry that king, I had no choice but to accept my mother's orders. If you saw the pathetic man I have as a husband, you'd immediately understand why, despite being married for two years, I'm still pure," Broyé said while lightly biting Orion's ear.
Orion couldn't help swallowing hard again, though he still didn't respond to the pirate's advances. Even so, his resistance weakened with every word that resonated in his ears.
With his Observation Haki, he could tell she was telling the truth; otherwise, she would have to be an actress even better than his wife Victoria Cindry—which was extremely unlikely.
"After our wedding, I returned to my territory on Meringue Island. I only need to go once or twice a year to my husband's kingdom for diplomatic visits, although they're really just an excuse to collect the tribute he must pay my mother as protection money."
Broyé, now breathing slightly heavier, released one of her hands from the embrace she had around Orion, and after caressing the toned muscles of his chest and abdomen, she let it travel downward until she finally reached the burning member of the man before her.
Orion felt Broyé's delicate hand slip inside his pants and begin to caress him sensually, and he gritted his teeth as he waited to hear the rest of the pirate's story. He was waiting to hear something that would convince him to take that final step
From what she had said so far, he had already understood the nature of her marriage—it was basically a staged arrangement—but he was still waiting for her conclusion before deciding whether or not to make her his.
"Orion, I'm going to tell you a secret… My mother told me that if I ever find someone strong who can produce better offspring… then it's fine to have children with that person…"
Orion finally reached out and placed his hands on the pirate's plump ass, which immediately trembled with pleasure at finally feeling the touch she had been longing for. She became wet between her legs, and her eyes glazed over with a fine mist of tears, brimming with desire.
"In fact, my husband agreed to that arrangement… He has his own concubines in secret, so you don't have to worry about his honor. Honestly, he knows he's nothing more than a pawn on my mother's chessboard, and that his relationship with me is nothing but a farce.
He might secretly desire my body… but he would never dare show it, because he's a coward."
Orion moved his hands over the beautiful pirate's butt, squeezing that seductive ass tightly and sliding his hand into Broyé's most private place, causing her to bite her lip as she felt her legs lose strength.
Finally, she knelt on the floor in front of Orion, and with a sure movement, she pulled down his pants and exposed the manhood of her casual lover. Seeing Orion's imposing size, Broyé's eyes went wide with surprise, and she revealed an even more lascivious smile.
Then she looked up at Orion from her kneeling position, which made her appear particularly sensual.
"You know, Orion… my husband is a coward, and I hate cowards… So, you're not going to be a coward too, right?"
Hearing Broyé's provocative words, Orion finally couldn't control himself any longer. Taking hold of the pirate's head, he made her accept his hot cock into her mouth.
Then, he began to move at a slow rhythm, enjoying his sister-in-law's service, while preparing for a long session of pleasure with her. If Broyé truly wanted to take that step, Orion wouldn't hold back. The time had come to show her the full potency of his abilities and passive buffs!
While Orion and Broyé were enjoying their spontaneous clandestine encounter, a new notification appeared in the system, though Orion paid no attention to it since he was far too occupied with his sensual activities.
