"No." Feeling Yun Lie's sudden closeness, Perona's body instantly stiffened, and her face visibly turned pink, filled with a pitiful expression, like a startled little rabbit, she began to twist her body, trying to break free.
"Come, let's do something adults should do." Yun Lie's gaze swept over Perona's delicate face and her unique Gothic attire, and he suddenly realized that beneath her seemingly petite and cute figure lay surprisingly charming curves, a hint of surprise welling up in his heart.
Perona tried hard to resist, pushing against Yun Lie's chest with her hands.
But for some reason, her whole body seemed to lose all strength, every struggle appearing soft and weak, and she finally could only helplessly collapse into Yun Lie's arms, still muttering softly, "No… this won't do…"
Yun Lie looked down at Perona in his arms, feeling her body temperature, his heart even more shocked; he hadn't expected Perona's body to be so sensitive, that just some slight contact would elicit such a big reaction from her.
Especially her cheeks, which had turned rosy from shyness, added a different kind of charm to her.
"Stop, not there!" Perona's voice grew weaker and weaker, and amidst her constant pushing away and powerless resistance, it gradually faded into silence.
........
(One hundred eighty million words omitted here.)
A few hours later.
Perona on the bed, with tears still in her eyes, had fallen into a deep sleep, her breathing even and long.
Her hair was disheveled on the pillow, her signature Gothic attire casually discarded beside her, and on the floor lay fragments of Gothic Lolita dresses, silently telling of everything that had just happened.
And this so-called "Loli has three virtues: delicate body, soft touch, and easy to push over," Yun Lie had a profound experience of it in his time with Perona; her sensitive delicate body indeed brought him a completely different experience.
The wooden door let out a grating "creak," exceptionally clear in the silence.
"You jerk, you wore her out like this!" Nami pushed the door open without a care, looking at the sleeping Perona on the bed, her eyes full of tenderness.
Her voice carried a tone of reproach, the end of her words slightly rising, clearly quite displeased with someone's actions.
Yun Lie helplessly spread his hands, feigning innocence.
He considered himself gentle enough with Perona, and besides, didn't Perona also immerse herself in it and enjoy it later?
Nami stepped forward to check on Perona, and as her fingertips touched her skin, she heard Perona murmur groggily, "No, I can't take it anymore, no more."
As soon as she said this, Nami's cheeks instantly flushed, and a mix of shame and anger surged in her eyes.
She glared at Yun Lie, her look as if to say, "Look at the good you've done."
"Take care of her, I'm going out first."
Yun Lie smiled and raised his hand, gently stroking Nami's head, then turned and left the room. Nami gave him another fierce glare before stepping out and calling the maid Kalifa to tidy the room.
........
At the same time, on the Red Line, Mary Geoise, the atmosphere was so oppressive it felt like water could be wrung out of it.
Jaygarcia Satan Saint, a Celestial Dragon who had long held a high position and wielded great power, was currently furious because Yun Lie had hung up on him.
"That despicable Shichibukai Yun Lie, how dare he not put this old man in his eyes!"
He was so angry his face turned ashen, his voice filled with rage and unwillingness.
Marcus Mars Saint, the Environment God of War, seeing this, quickly spoke to comfort him: "He's just a person from the lower world, no need to get angry; the most urgent matter is to find out if Gekko Moriah is truly dead.
If that is indeed the case, we must immediately have the CP organization search for the resurrected Shadow-Shadow Fruit."
As he thought of the command that 'that adult' had given, not to provoke Yun Lie casually, his tone couldn't help but become cautious.
In their view, rather than being angry with Yun Lie, it was better to quickly deal with Gekko Moriah's matter and find that crucial fruit as soon as possible.
"Speaking of the CP organization, it is indeed time for a good rectification," Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro Saint, the Financial God of War, holding the first generation Kitetsu, suddenly spoke.
He caressed the hilt of the sword, his eyes showing a sinister glint, "CP9 member Kalifa was actually sent out as a plaything!"
The Celestial Dragons had long investigated the crew members on Yun Lie's ship, naturally knowing that Kalifa came from CP9, and even more clearly that she was a "gift" sent by Spandam to curry favor with Yun Lie.
But until now, Kalifa had not sent back any intelligence, which made them suspect whether she had already betrayed the World Government.
"I second that, the CP organization must be rectified!" Jaygarcia Satan Saint thought for a moment and immediately agreed.
Since they couldn't vent their anger on Yun Lie, dealing with a small CP organization officer was nothing more than a simple task for them.
Soon, Spandine and Spandam, who had not yet understood the situation, were urgently summoned to Mary Geoise.
What awaited them was a nightmare-like interrogation.
If it weren't for them finally revealing the news that Pluton was suspected to be hidden in Seven Water City, showing their value, it is likely that these two father and son would not have left this center of power alive.
Not only the CP organization, but even the Marine received orders from the World Government.
While fully investigating Gekko Moriah's life and death, they also needed to find a strong person to fill the vacant Shichibukai position.
This made Sengoku extremely busy and also very frustrated.
He had just warned Yun Lie not to approach the territory of the Shichibukai Gekko Moriah, and who knew that Yun Lie had solved Moriah in the blink of an eye.
What was even more critical was that this news was personally told to him by his direct superior.
Not only did the World Government not hold Yun Lie accountable, but the Marine had to clean up the mess as if they were wiping someone's butt; how could he not feel frustrated?
The Shichibukai system has always been key to maintaining the balance of power in the sea and has always been the focus of attention for various forces in the sea.
Gekko Moriah, as a Shichibukai for many years, held a crucial position in this sea area, even if he hadn't made a move for a long time.
Now that the news of him being killed by Yun Lie spreads, it will undoubtedly be like a giant rock thrown into a calm lake, stirring up huge waves in this sea area and breaking the existing power structure.
The fact that Shichibukai Yun Lie openly killed Gekko Moriah, who was also a Shichibukai, would certainly lead many forces to secretly speculate: who knows if the Marine had a hand in this?
Once such suspicion breeds, it spreads rapidly like a plague.
The Marine, as the direct military force of the World Government, also suffered a severe blow to its credibility as a result.
Other pirates will inevitably become suspicious; if even the existence of a fellow Shichibukai cannot be guaranteed, who can guarantee that they will not become the next victim?
This will undoubtedly make the Marine's task of finding a new Shichibukai to fill the vacancy even more difficult, and the balance of power across the entire sea will become even more precarious.
