Chapter 30
"Hehe, Captain Rorschach said he fell in love with at first sight, and he even specifically asked for to join his ship as part of the deal," Reiju said with a shy smile, resting her cheek on her hand as she continued to provocatively tease Nami.
"What?! Rorschach, you damn pervert! Always eating from one bowl while eyeing the pot! Don’t co looking for anymore!" Nami exploded in anger and tried to push Rorschach away to head back to the cabin.
Rorschach definitely wasn’t letting her leave. He imdiately pulled her into his arms and comforted her.
"That’s not true. Haven’t I always doted on you the most, Nami? I just thought we were a bit short on people, so I found a few more companions to keep everyone entertained."
Rorschach smiled bitterly and used sweet words to soothe her for a while.
In the end, the young Nami couldn’t resist Rorschach’s charm. Blushing, she fled back into the cabin. With her sister present and everyone watching, her thin skin couldn’t handle it.
"Reiju, you too. That kind of behavior doesn’t suit you. Once you spend so ti with Nami, you’ll see she’s not a bad person," Rorschach said.
"Hehe, then what kind of behavior does Captain Rorschach think suits ?" Reiju asked, becoming even more seductive.
"Your normal self is fine. Go explore the ship for now. I’ll take you back to our base later. We still have to stay here for three days anyway," Rorschach said as he released her. He was afraid he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from carrying her straight to the captain’s quarters.
"Yes, Captain Rorschach," Reiju replied with a light laugh.
"Hello, Sister Reiju. I’m Kaya, the ship’s doctor. Please take care of from now on," Kaya said with a smile as she stepped forward and took Reiju’s hand.
"So you’re Kaya. Rorschach ntioned you earlier. He said you’re the little angel on his ship — anyone who gets sick can co to you," Reiju said gently.
Kaya and Nojiko didn’t show the sa strong hostility toward Reiju as Nami had. They quickly beca friendly with her.
As expected of Reiju — gentle personality, elegant manners, and excellent social skills. She truly had the aura of a proper main wife.
"Hey, you didn’t actually fall for her and travel all the way to the North Blue just to get her, did you?" Karina walked over to Rorschach, elbowed him in the stomach, and asked quietly with curiosity.
"Heh, why state the obvious? Didn’t I do the sa thing with you back then?" Rorschach replied.
"I knew it. You really are a hopeless pervert. There are so many beauties on the ship already, but you still go looking for more outside," Karina said with an exasperated expression.
"Hehe, are you talking about yourself?"
"Speaking of which, I rember soone promised a reward if I carried her bags after shopping. But sohow that person forgot all about it," Rorschach said with a wicked grin.
Karina’s face turned bright red as she tried to retort.
"Ugh, it’s just one reward. What’s the big deal? I’ll make it up to you later."
"No, I want it now."
"Huh?"
"Sigh... The bathtub in the new ship’s bathroom is pretty big, but bathing alone is always so lonely. How about we take a bath together as my little reward?"
With that, he hoisted Karina onto his shoulder.
"Hey, can’t we change the reward? And it’s still dayti! Let’s wait until evening for the bath!" Karina said in a tiny, embarrassed voice right next to Rorschach’s ear.
"Too quiet, can’t hear you~"
Ignoring her protests, Rorschach carried her straight into the cabin.
Nojiko noticed what was happening but only smiled softly as she watched them go.
...
An hour later.
Rorschach opened the bathroom door. Steam filled the air as the two of them walked out.
Karina rubbed her sore cheeks, her face flushed red with a hint of shyness.
"I don’t know where you learned all these weird things from."
"Hehe, if you weren’t already tired, we could have stayed in there a few more hours," Rorschach said.
Karina rolled her eyes at him and turned to head back to her room.
Thanks to the Steel Balloon physique and his ability to store energy from food, in a fair fight he could battle a Yonko or Admiral for ten days and ten nights without issue. In fact, they would probably tire out first.
Looking satisfied, Rorschach changed clothes in his room and walked into the main hall.
Laughter and cheerful voices filled the hall. Reiju, Nami, and Nojiko were chatting about sothing, creating a harmonious scene.
Rorschach looked surprised. The Nami who had been so hostile toward Reiju earlier was now smiling and talking with her.
What’s going on? Rorschach thought in confusion.
Reiju noticed him first and winked at him.
As expected of soone with max social skills. The young Nami is still too green to compete with you.
The others also noticed Rorschach’s arrival.
"Rorschach, you’re back. Where did you go? We couldn’t find you, and Karina’s missing too," Nami said happily as she ca over.
"? I felt a bit hot so I took a bath. Karina was probably tired and went back to her room to rest," Rorschach replied.
"I see. Is it really that hot today? It feels fine to ," Nami said, a bit puzzled, but she didn’t dwell on it and continued chatting cheerfully.
"By the way, how did you and Reiju suddenly get along so well?" Rorschach asked.
Nami’s face suddenly turned red. She pushed him away and went over to Nojiko’s side.
"It’s nothing. It’s girl talk — you don’t need to know."
Rorschach looked confused as he sat down next to Reiju and quietly asked, "What did you say to Nami? How did you win her over so quickly?"
Reiju gave a mysterious smile and replied with almost the sa words Nami had used.
"It’s a girl’s secret. You’d better not get involved."
"Tch~ Fine, don’t tell then," Rorschach turned his head away.
"Big Brother Rorschach, co try the new pudding I made!" Kaya pushed a small cart over, carrying a plate of pudding.
"It looks delicious. Thanks, Kaya," Rorschach said, taking the plate and imdiately forking a piece into his mouth. A happy smile spread across his face.
"Sister Nami, you should try so too," Kaya said, handing out pudding to the others.
"Mmm~ Kaya’s skills have improved again. Your desserts are getting better and better," Nojiko praised generously.
"Indeed, this is the best dessert I’ve ever had," Reiju said, not stingy with her praise.
"No way, it’s still far behind Sister Nojiko’s cooking. After all, Big Brother Rorschach said Sister Nojiko has already reached high-level cooking, while I’m still at mid-level," Kaya said shyly.
"Speaking of which, I’m a bit curious — were all of you originally chefs?" Reiju asked.
From her earlier conversations with Nami, she had learned that everyone on the ship enjoyed cooking. She was curious why Rorschach had gathered so many chefs.
"We’re more like half-baked chefs. Rorschach has such a huge appetite that we had no choice but to learn cooking. Otherwise, Nojiko would be exhausted doing it all by herself," Nami said as she happily ate a spoonful of pudding.
"I see," Reiju said thoughtfully.
"Alright! Ti to start preparing dinner. Let’s head back to the island first!" Rorschach said after finishing his pudding. He stretched and walked out of the cabin.
"Hm? Is there another island nearby? Are we going back to Germa Kingdom?" Reiju asked curiously, turning to Nami.
"You’ll see soon. It’ll definitely blow your mind," Nami said mysteriously with a playful smile.
As Rorschach controlled the ship and flew higher, passing through thick clouds, they reached the top of the cloud layer.
When Reiju stepped out of the cabin, she was stunned by the sight before her.
"This... this is... a Marine base!"
