Chapter 224: Trafalgar Law (Part 1)
Pouring the pink liquid from the bottle, the viscous liquid gradually took the shape of a woman on the floor of the training room, with a curvaceous figure that fully showcased the female advantages in the pirate world.
Eric couldn't help but mutter a poem he had once learned: "On the sea, the bright moon rises..."
Receiving a deadly glare from Kurumi, Eric had no choice but to stop.
Upon hearing Eric 's line, Sweetheart Queen, sitting cross-legged on the ground, quickly covered her headlights.
Without the headlights' glare, Eric sighed, "Sigh..."
Sweetheart Queen bit her enticing red lip, lowering her eyelids painted with purple eyeshadow. Her wine-Akame filled with fear, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, but she didn't dare cry out, afraid of angering the monsters who could kill without blinking.
"What's there to be shy about?" Eric shrugged. "Weren't you just bathing in front of so many people? There's no men here, I made sure to get rid of them all."
Akame, Esdeath, Kurumi, Scáthach , and many other women turned their gaze to Eric 's face.
"Oh, so there's still one here..." Eric scratched his head, realizing his deception had failed.
"What should we do with this one? Kill her? I'd love to hear her screams," Esdeath suggested.
As expected from Esdeath, when an enemy falls into her hands, there's only one result.
Sweetheart Queen trembled all over, her fat jiggling like waves.
Not caring about shame anymore, Sweetheart Queen dropped into a proper kneeling position and begged Eric for mercy.
The fleeting high-definition scene that was briefly exposed left Eric savoring the moment, his mind now completely consumed by...
"I poke!" Kurumi's index and middle fingers separated, and she sharply poked Eric 's eyes again.
"Posture!" Eric covered his eyes, rolling on the floor.
Akame squatted down, poking Sweetheart Queen's alluring naked body with her finger.
"Looks like this glue can't be eaten..."
The others were speechless at Akame's insatiable appetite: "Hey..."
Akame replied, "I was just joking."
Kuina whispered, "No, Akame, your gaze just now clearly looked like you were eyeing food!"
"Ha..." Eric , who had been relieved of his pain, closed his eyes tightly. "You know, we've already killed all four of your Poker Brothers, don't you have any thoughts of avenging them?"
Sweetheart Queen shivered and stammered, "N-no, I don't dare!"
"Is it because you don't dare, or because you don't want to?"
"I don't want to!" Sweetheart Queen had seen the four others defeated without a chance to fight back, witnessing the terrifying power of the Dawn Pirates, and couldn't even muster the thought of revenge.
"Master, can you see this one's future?"
"I'll try." Scáthach 's eyes flashed red, and after a while, she said, "This one won't betray us, Eric , the decision is yours."
"Is that so?" Eric felt relieved. If there was any chance of betrayal, he'd have to take decisive action, he couldn't keep a ticking time bomb by his side.
Since Sweetheart Queen won't betray them, Eric decided to take her in, and there would be more timely benefits ahead...
"What are you thinking about again?" The haughty young lady with piercing Akame stared at Eric .
"No, I'm just thinking, what about making this one your maid?"
"Not your maid?"
"I'd rather see you in a maid outfit... Ahem." Eric , who accidentally let his thoughts slip, coughed to cover his embarrassment.
"Ah, Eric -, you're impossible." Kurumi covered her mouth and laughed, her eyes filled with pride as she mischievously glanced at Esdeath.
"Heh..." Esdeath sneered, grabbing Eric by the collar and yanking him back.
"Again?!" Eric exclaimed in surprise.
"Mm..." A slightly cold pair of lips sealed Eric 's words.
"Esdeath's kiss tastes like vanilla ice cream—sweet, creamy, and fragrant..." Eric resisted Esdeath's kiss verbally, but his body was honest. She was really too sweet...
Kurumi, furious, puffed up her cheeks again, looking like a pufferfish.
Seeing the fight between the two end, Eric gave Sweetheart Queen an order in a tone that left no room for argument: "From now on, you'll be the maid of the Dawn Pirates. Feel honored!"
"Yes!" Sweetheart Queen eagerly sat up, her legs still on the ground, kneeling. "I'll work hard to become a qualified maid!"
And so the benefits arrived...
Sweetheart Queen noticed Eric 's gaze and flushed, covering herself with her arm.
Kuina muttered quietly from the side, "Now I know why there are so many women on the ship." She turned to Porche and Perona, "Were you two also brought here by Eric ?"
The two of them nodded nervously.
Kuina furiously turned to Eric , "Eric , I've misjudged you! What did you do to Porche and Perona?!"
"Ha?" Eric replied with confusion, "What could I possibly do to these shriveled little radishes?"
"What?!" Porche and Perona were furious.
"I heard from them that it was you who brought them onto the ship."
Eric spread his hands, "Porche was won fair and square from the Foxy Pirates during the Davy Back Fight; Perona was a subordinate of Moonlight Moria, and before he died, Moria entrusted me with taking care of her."
He then glared at the two, "You two, if you keep spouting nonsense, I'll make your behinds bloom."
The troublesome duo hurriedly ran off, forgetting to pursue the issue of Eric 's earlier comments on their figures.
...
Just over 20 days later, the Undaunted appeared off the coast of an island in the North Sea.
During this time, it had been a full month since Kurome's summoning, and to improve Kurome's physical condition, Eric had raised her physical attributes to six stars. Her pain had significantly diminished.
Thanks to their little secret, Kurome's affinity had also increased considerably during this time.
Genos , due to Da Vinci's modifications, had upgraded his Devil Fruit abilities to six stars. Along the way, he witnessed Akame and Esdeath's swordsmanship and Scáthach 's spear skills, and he finally made the decision to stay with the Dawn Pirates, training diligently to increase his strength in order to take down those evil pirate crews.
'Instead of training, you should go lick Da Vinci's boots and let her give you a full equipment upgrade,' Eric thought, feeling a bit speechless. Here was a cyborg who was always thinking about increasing his strength with physical training, when he should be focusing on enhancing his capabilities through tech upgrades.
The residents on the shore looked at the approaching steel warship. Their expressions shifted from curiosity to confusion, then to solemnity, and finally to horror.
"The Dawn Pirates have arrived!" A shout suddenly rang out, and all the residents began to scatter in panic.
"Four Emperors... why are they here in the North Sea?!"
Stepping onto the land, Eric stretched and yawned, "Trafalgar Law is right here."
