"She's fine. More importantly, that's the mansion, right?" Luffy asked, redirecting Usopp's attention toward the estate.
"Thanks for showing us the way. You've been a big help."
"Uh... yeah, sure. Well then..."
Luffy thanked him for the guidance, and Usopp found himself dismissed, unable to accompany them any further.
He watched Luffy walk normally toward the mansion gates while Nami followed with an unsteady, wobbling gait. Something felt off, but he decided against prying into strangers' affairs. He turned to go find the trio of boys who looked up to him.
"Hm...? Ugh, what the hell is that smell...?!"
Then he noticed a puddle on the ground—viscous, glistening, and reeking of something foul and primal. A visceral disgust crawled up his spine. "Damn stray dogs must've pissed here," he muttered, dismissing it without a second thought.
From behind, Luffy watched the retreating Usopp, a smirk barely contained on his lips. He glanced down at Nami, who was crouched low to the ground.
"Lucky you. He didn't realize that puddle was your leaking cum."
"N-No more..." she whimpered.
When Luffy had stopped Usopp and turned him toward the mansion, Nami had reached her absolute limit.
The thick load she'd been clenching inside her holes had finally slipped free, splattering onto the dirt. Usopp would never have imagined that the quiet girl beside him wore no panties beneath her skirt and was currently dripping fresh semen onto the path.
Nami, on the other hand, had experienced a light climax the moment it escaped her. The sheer humiliation of the act—the degrading exposure—had sent a shameful thrill through her core.
She hated herself for it, but even that self-loathing was twisted into a perverse pleasure.
"Oh my... is everything quite alright?"
"Ah."
Both of them looked up to see a butler with the gentle, rounded features of a sheep. Luffy introduced himself. "We're the ones scheduled to discuss purchasing a ship tomorrow."
At the explanation, the butler—Merry—nodded and ushered them inside. Nami's crouched state was easily explained away as "fatigue from the long voyage," an excuse Merry accepted without question.
"Nevertheless, you've arrived earlier than expected," Merry noted.
"We caught a favorable wind," Luffy replied. "We know the actual transaction is tomorrow, but we wanted to at least introduce ourselves."
Merry explained that due to their early arrival, the ship wasn't quite ready for presentation. Luffy assured him they understood. Just then, a knock came at the door, and a stern-looking butler with slicked-back hair and glasses entered.
"Pardon the wait. Lady Kaya will see you, but she remains in frail health. I'm afraid she must receive you from her bedchambers, if that is acceptable."
"That's fine," Luffy said. "We're the ones who showed up unannounced ahead of schedule. If it was too much trouble, we would have come back another day."
"Klahadore," Merry addressed the other butler. "I shall escort our guests. Please see to Lady Kaya's meal."
Klahadore acknowledged the order and withdrew. Merry then led Luffy and Nami deeper into the mansion.
They were shown to a bright corner room on the second floor. There, propped up in a large bed before a sunlit window, sat a young woman.
"…!"
"Hello. I am Kaya, the owner of this estate."
Luffy's eyes flickered with recognition the moment he saw her face, but he kept his composure. "I'm Luffy. And this is my companion, Nami."
Kaya's gaze lingered on him. "Luffy...?" she repeated, a strange note in her voice.
"Something wrong?"
"Ah—no, nothing at all. Um... yes, about the ship. Merry, are the preparations in order?"
"Yes, my lady. After we received Commodore Purin-Purin's request, we saw to its maintenance. It can be handed over as early as today, if desired."
Though it was a ship they had little use for, leaving it neglected would have caused problems at sea. The staff had kindly refurbished it. Yet Luffy shook his head. "Sorry, but we can't take it just yet."
"The payment was supposed to come from the bounty of a certain pirate we captured," Luffy explained.
"The Marines said it would take some time to process the funds, so we arranged for the money to be delivered here."
"The Marines are going out of their way...?" Merry mused, puzzled.
Arlong had carried the highest bounty in all of East Blue. That kind of sum wasn't something the Navy simply handed over in cash on a whim. Initially, Luffy and Nami had planned to wait in Cocoyashi Village until the paperwork cleared. But Commodore Purin-Purin, when advising them on the ship purchase, had offered to deliver the bounty payment to Syrup Village while transporting Arlong to custody. They had gladly accepted the arrangement—only to arrive a full day early.
"I see. Well, this is a quiet village, but it has its charms," Kaya said with a gentle smile. "Please, rest here for the day. We can finalize everything tomorrow."
With the formalities settled, the matter of lodging arose. They could simply sleep on the boat moored in the cove, but since they were here, a proper inn seemed more appealing.
Kaya, ever gracious, insisted. "Merry, please escort our guests to the village inn."
'Kaya, huh... That reaction... Was she the one in the forest?'
As Merry led them back outside, Luffy's mind churned. The blonde hair, the pale skin, the subtle flinch when he'd said his name, it all matched.
The naked pervert he'd glimpsed masturbating in the woods... it had to be Kaya.
If his suspicion was correct... a slow, predatory grin crept across his face. Neither Merry nor Nami noticed the dark amusement in his eyes.
