Chapter 25 - Responsibilities

[Fish-man Island]

The group of Marines decided to stay at Ryugu palace for a bit longer as the matter of their mission is still under discussion. Henry Hornigold and his crew were captured, but handing them over to Marineford will only lead to their death by Celestial Dragons or public execution. Neither option was ideal as a war between man and Fish-man would break out.

After a long discussion with the Neptune family, the best course of action is to report their death during battle.

"Are we really going to forge a report to Sengoku?" Gion sighed, rubbing her temples.

Sonya looked at her," It's the best we have." She dragged her cigarette.

Doll leaned against a pillar, looking at her peers," This is the only way to implement justice. "

"Justice? How so?" Sonya snorted.

"We're not blind to the truth of the government...we serve the Celestial Dragons not the ones in need," Gion admitted, clutching her blades sheath.

Nobody made eye contact, drilling in their decision to their minds, defying orders, lying to their superiors, and protecting criminals from the law. All these are felony charges, but as Garp says, "Justice is made by the Marine who carries the symbol on their back." His voice annoyingly reminded them.

Doll turned her head both directions, Where's Ramos?" She asked.

The Vice-Admirals noticed his been gone since morning.

"Damn Ramos." Sonya groaned.

[Fish-man café]

Ramos found himself in a very compromised position. He came to the cafe to look at the menu, but to his luck, he was recognised by the mermaids who worked there. He tried to dismiss their praises for his heroics, but they led him to the back, face-to-face with a beautiful Mermaid named Sharley. A shortfin mako shark. She wears a hoodie with her ample cleavage showing. Ramos is completely ruined by what he sees.

"It's great to finally meet you Ramos~"

Sharley, hummed his name.

Ramos nodded," It's a pleasure to meet you S-Sharley." He stammered, he heard tales about her abilities.

She chuckled at his nervous state," ", I've heard about your upcoming date with the Princess."

"Yeah, we're getting to know each other. " Ramos rubbed his neck.

Sharley flashed her fang, "Well, Ramos, as you know, you have quite the list of admirers. " Sharley purred, reaching to caress his face.

Ramos stiffened at the contact, frozen like a kid caught being naughty. " S-sharley..."

"Shhhh." She covered his lip with her finger, tracing around it.

"Does my being a mermaid make you uncomfortable?"

"N-no, of course not," Ramos responded.

"Ohhh –my. The marine that looked a leviathan in the eyes, is afraid of women. " She chuckled.

"Hey! I'm not afraid of anything." Ramos barked, face flushed with embarrassment, and he approached the mermaid.

They stood a touch away from each other, eyes roaming the other's face, memorising each other's features and inhaling the intoxicating scents of attraction.

Ramos couldn't stop staring into her entrancing eyes, every breath he took was lost in growing heat.

"Sharley..."

"What are you waiting for Ramos–kiss me."

With that confirmation, he smacked his lips to hers, tracing her jawline in the process. He licked her teeth, impatiently, wanting entry to her mouth. She complied and opened her mouth wider, tongues meeting in a tangle of intimacy.

Sharley let a moan travel from her mouth to his, holding him by his broad shoulders, her nails tearing into his shirt, seeking closure.

Ramos rubbed his hands on her snatched waist, digging into flesh with the same greed he does with food, his hold was strong and possessive. They stayed locked in the heated kiss, the interracial taboo was beyond amazing, thoughts of being caught left their minds as he picked her up by her round, firm ass.

"Ahhh~" She moaned, at the contact, looking into his eyes with lust-filled vision.

She held him closer, trying to mould their bodies together, " Ramos–please...the heat is too much." She pleaded, grinding her lower body against his groin.

"Fuck –Sharley. " He groaned, positioning the mermaid, back first to the couch, he loomed over her, staring into her flushed face.

"You ready?" He asked, waiting for the approval to initiate the final stage.

"Keep going." She urged.

Their moment was far from over.
