Sea Calendar 1518, January 1st. A new year, a new chapter.
Inside the master bedroom on the top deck of the Pegasus.
"Master, time to get up."
"BOSS, the sun is about to burn your butt."
Two mature, sisterly voices, one shy and one teasing, pulled Yami from his sleep.
Opening his eyes, Yami first saw the unfamiliar ceiling, two stunningly beautiful faces, and two pairs of beautiful eyes—similar in color, yet different.
"I have terrible bed head... unless you coax me, I'm not getting up."
Yami said with a sudden wicked smile, looking at Hancock and Robin.
Hearing this, Hancock and Robin's faces blushed slightly.
"BOSS, you're really bad."
Robin rolled her eyes at Yami, then brushed back her freshly combed hair and leaned down.
Seeing this, Hancock, who was completely obedient to Yami, quickly did the same.
Yami took the remote, opened the sunroof in the ceiling, laced his hands behind his head, and admired the blue sky and white clouds.
A long time later, Yami's "bed head" was finally extinguished by the combined efforts of Robin and Hancock. Then, with the two women's help, he got up, washed, and changed.
Scenes like this had happened frequently over the past six months.
That's right, Yami had completely "eaten" (conquered) Hancock, the World's Most Beautiful Woman.
After becoming Yami's woman, Hancock was now a perfect "wife," with only Yami in her eyes, heart, and mind.
Carina and the other girls had their own things to do daily. For example, Carina and Robin liked to train and read, Nami liked to draw, Perona liked to sew dolls, etc...
Hancock, however, spent every day only researching recipes with Nojiko, making all kinds of delicious food for Yami.
When Yami's brow furrowed, or when he showed a trace of fatigue, she would immediately offer him a lap pillow or a head massage, deeply satisfying Yami's "macho-ism."
In this respect, even Carina, Nami, and Robin, who had been with Yami the longest, felt inferior.
Hancock, the oldest, had also justifiably become their "big sister."
After washing up, Yami took over the helm, piloting the Pegasus to begin the return journey.
After playing outside for half a year, Yami's group had visited almost the entire New World. Nami, who dreamed of drawing a world map, Shirahoshi, who wanted to understand the surface world, and even Robin, who was searching for Poneglyphs, were all satisfied.
Even the shut-in Perona and the unambitious Nojiko had become much more cheerful.
This world tour had elevated the feelings between Yami and the girls once again, deepening the family atmosphere on the Pegasus.
But all things must come to an end, and the world tour was no exception.
Having visited most of the New World, Yami felt it was time to return to business and start a new chapter.
Carina and the girls, who had satisfied their curiosity about the outside world, had no objections.
Thus, the Pegasus, after more than half a year, finally flew back to the back mountain of Amazon Lily.
Returning to Amazon Lily, Yami quickly got busy.
He needed to organize his assets.
Not counting Gran Tesoro and his real estate around the world, Yami currently had several hundred billion Beri in cash alone.
Gran Tesoro had a treasure that attracted thieves, bounty hunters, and even pirates from all over the world.
This treasure was called the "Tesoro Treasure."
This treasure was 300 billion Beri in cash, existing in the vault.
What did 300 billion Beri mean?
To use Robin's words, it could buy a kingdom.
After killing Gild Tesoro, this Tesoro Treasure naturally became one of Yami's spoils of war.
With Gran Tesoro reopening, and Doflamingo consolidating Tesoro's industries worldwide, an astronomical amount of cash flowed into Yami's vault every month.
Adding the tens of billions of Beri in his bank card, Yami now had over 600 billion Beri in cash alone.
This didn't even mention the trillion-Beri cash cow that was Gran Tesoro, or his various industries around the world.
Yami now had more money than he knew what to do with.
This terrifying number also successfully changed Carina's and Nami's money-grubbing personalities.
Now they had long life, and endless money. The two girls had no other pursuits; just staying by Yami's side was enough.
Yami needed to spend this several hundred billion Beri.
The day after returning to Amazon Lily, he used the Doa Doa no Mi ability to enter his different dimension, then teleported to Totto Land.
Totto Land, also known as Whole Cake Island, was the nation founded by one of the Five Emperors, Big Mom, Charlotte Linlin.
It was both a country and the name of a sea region.
In this sea region, there is an archipelago of thirty-five islands.
Among them, thirty-four islands are centered around Cake Island, scattered nearby.
These thirty-four islands are managed by thirty-four Ministers, all of whom are Charlotte Linlin's children.
Besides these thirty-four "most outstanding" children, Charlotte Linlin has fifty-one other children holding various positions.
This shows just how fertile Big Mom is; she truly birthed an entire family by herself.
In Totto Land, Yami used his Clairvoyance and X-Ray Vision and quickly found this trip's target.
Squeak—
"ROOM—Shambles!"
Finding the right moment, he opened an air-door, expanded his "Ope-Ope Room" over a candy house, transferred the target from the house into his dimension, then grabbed the target's neck with a hand wrapped in black mist and squeezed.
Kacha!
As the sound of a throat crushing was heard, Charlotte Pudding—who was in her room one second and in a different dimension the next—had her three eyes, filled with terror and despair, instantly go slack. She quickly left this world.
After killing Charlotte Pudding, Yami skillfully extracted her Paramecia-type Memo-Memo Fruit, then dumped her corpse in the dimension.
That's right. Yami's trip this time was to seize the Paramecia-type Memo-Memo Fruit.
Like the Ripe-Ripe Fruit, this Devil Fruit was also not part of Yami's "inescapable in all aspects" plan. However, it was related to his next plan, and would allow the Ripe-Ripe Fruit to achieve a strategic-level effect.
