Sabaody Archipelago, Island 41.
In the living room of a three-story villa, a red light flashed, causing ripples in space, and a spatial folding door quietly opened.
Sephiroth and Domino stepped out from the world within the door and entered the villa's living room.
"Your Devil Fruit ability is really convenient!"
Domino first looked around the furnishings of the living room. When she saw the bubbles rising from the ground outside the window, she instantly understood that they had arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago from Marineford.
"It's alright, but there are actually many limitations..."
Sephiroth smiled and didn't explain further, casually sheathing the butcher knife.
Vegapunk's technology for making weapons eat Devil Fruits is still limited to Zoan types and cannot make Paramecia or Logia types be eaten by weapons. And in the Marine, many people know that the butcher knife Sephiroth uses was given to him by Kong, a very ferocious cursed sword. Some people in the Marine had tried using it before, but because the drawbacks were too great, they basically returned it to Kong shortly after using it...
Therefore, even if others knew Sephiroth had spatial movement abilities, people subconsciously attributed it to his own fruit ability and didn't associate it with the butcher knife.
Sephiroth said as he walked towards the kitchen:
"What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
Domino sat lightly on the long sofa in the living room. She tilted her head and thought for a moment before speaking:
"Actually, anything is fine!
However, I'm a bit craving noodles..."
"Alright, I'll go make it now..."
Hearing this, Sephiroth smiled and nodded, turned around, and walked into the kitchen. He opened the refrigerator and checked the ingredient reserves, finding some oysters, shrimp, sea cucumber, and abalone inside.
Finally, he decided to make seafood fried noodles with the existing ingredients!
Domino stood up from the sofa and walked to the wine rack in the living room. Looking at the bottles of wine placed on it, she turned her head and asked in the direction of the kitchen:
"Sephiroth, do you want red wine or white wine tonight...?"
Sephiroth, who was processing ingredients in the kitchen, said without turning his head:
"Either is fine."
"Then let's have red wine!"
As if feeling guilty, Domino glanced towards the kitchen again before taking down a bottle of red wine, a decanter, and two wine glasses from the wine rack.
When she walked to the dining table and opened the cork of the red wine bottle, she furtively took out an exquisite small crystal bottle from her clothes pocket.
Domino looked at the ultra-strong drug contained in the bottle and couldn't help but fall into a dilemma, hesitating whether to pour it into the wine.
According to information she inadvertently obtained while interrogating the most heinous prisoners in Impel Down, the underwater great prison, this drug called "Aphrodite's Temptation," if just a few drops are added to wine, would turn both men and women into beasts...
Would using this drug on Sephiroth be too underhanded?
However...
In Domino's mind, she suddenly recalled the scene on the training ground where Sephiroth had been with Ain.
An ordinary woman like her, with nothing special besides her looks, would probably never get close to Sephiroth without using some special methods!
Now, while they were still teaching at Marineford Military Academy, it was already like this. Once the teaching period ended and they went their separate ways in the future, she'd likely have even less of a chance!
So, having finally made up her mind, Domino immediately opened the cork of the small bottle and aimed it at the mouth of the red wine bottle.
Considering Sephiroth's physical fitness was beyond ordinary people, and a normal dose might not be effective, she simply poured the entire bottle of drug into the wine bottle!
In the kitchen, Sephiroth felt the living room suddenly quiet down. He turned his head and glanced at the living room, just in time to see Domino adding the drug to the wine bottle.
A skilled hunter often appears as prey.
Seeing this scene, Sephiroth couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. He felt like he'd been counter-hunted...!?
After pouring the drug, Domino put on an expression as if nothing had happened and began to slowly pour the red wine from the bottle into the decanter.
Soon after, Sephiroth came out of the kitchen holding a tray with two plates of seafood fried noodles, which he placed on the dining table.
Domino first took a deep breath of the aroma wafting from the seafood fried noodles, then she eagerly picked up her chopsticks, took a mouthful of fried noodles, and began to chew gently.
Immediately, a look of intoxication unconsciously appeared on her face, and she sincerely exclaimed:
"Wow! It's so fragrant! I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good, Sephiroth! The dishes you make are no less impressive than those of top chefs!"
"That's natural..."
"...Cooking is a man's cultivation!" Sephiroth said with a smile.
In terms of hobbies, besides pretty girls, cooking was his favorite thing.
Having Blood Recall, which allowed him to quickly learn any skill and knowledge, he had naturally put in a lot of effort in cooking, learning the techniques and knowledge of many top chefs.
Domino looked at the young man sitting beside her, her heart rate suddenly quickened, and her gaze unconsciously drifted towards the 'enhanced' red wine on the dining table.
She picked up the decanter and poured a little red wine into each of the two wine glasses, placing one of them in front of the young man.
"Thank you!"
Sephiroth smiled and nodded, casually picking up the wine glass. He brought it to his mouth and made a motion as if to drink.
However...
He suddenly sniffed the red wine in the glass and frowned. "Hmm!? Why does the smell seem a bit off..."
"Did it go bad?"
Domino's eyes darted around, and her tone was slightly flustered. "Ah!? It shouldn't have, right? I just opened it... How about you try a sip first? If the taste is off, we can get another bottle?"
"Well..."
Sephiroth swirled the red wine in the glass, a look of appropriate contemplation on his face.
Gulp!
Seeing this, Domino had no choice but to pick up her wine glass first. She tilted her head back slightly and drank the red wine directly down her throat.
Immediately after, she spoke. "Mmm! The wine tastes very good; it hasn't gone bad..."
"Oh! Alright then! No need to change it..."
Sephiroth nodded. Under Domino's stunned gaze, he casually placed the wine glass to the side, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat the seafood fried noodles.
Domino: "..."
Aphrodite's Temptation had an unexpectedly good effect. As soon as Domino finished the glass of wine, a raging fire seemed to rise up in her lower abdomen.
In just a few minutes, her breathing quickened, and her eyes seemed filled with mist, gradually becoming hazy.
Compared to the delicious food in front of her, Domino felt that Sephiroth sitting beside her was more tempting and delicious. She unconsciously leaned her upper body against his arm.
"Sephiroth, am I beautiful...?"
"Uh!? Very beautiful."
"Do you want me?"
"You seem very off right now... Come eat something to calm down!"
Saying that, Sephiroth used his chopsticks to put a piece of sea cucumber into Domino's mouth...
