"Alvin, is this jet ski easy to drive?" Kalifa shouted, the sea breeze carrying her voice as her golden hair fluttered wildly.
She wrapped her arms tightly around Alvin's waist and leaned forward, her long legs encased in black fishnet stockings especially eye-catching under the sunlight.
Hearing her voice, Alvin released the throttle, and the jet ski traced an arc across the sea before slowly coming to a stop.
He turned his head, his gaze sweeping over Kalifa, a thought flashing through his mind: This scene of riding a jet ski really is incredible!
"Alvin, why are you looking at me like that again?" Kalifa said seriously, her gaze sharp behind her glasses.
"Ah? Sorry, but who can blame me when your legs look that good?" Alvin apologized casually, though his eyes were still smiling. Then he asked with interest, "It is very easy to drive. Do you want to try?"
"I will try. I have never driven this kind of boat before, and it feels like it would be really fun." Kalifa pushed up her glasses, a trace of eagerness hidden in her eyes.
"Alright, give it a try. I will teach you." As soon as he finished speaking, Alvin reached out and effortlessly lifted the 1.85 meter tall Kalifa in front of him as if she weighed nothing.
Compared to his height of 2.85 meters, Kalifa appeared petite and slender, completely belying the fact that she was two years older than him.
"Alvin, why are you doing that again?" Kalifa sat steadily and spoke in a calm, accusing tone.
"Oh, sorry. I will be more careful next time. Come on, hold the handlebars properly and pay attention." Alvin said as his hand naturally covered hers. "Press here to start."
Following his instructions, Kalifa pressed the button, and the roar of the engine instantly shattered the calm of the sea.
Under Alvin's guidance, she gently twisted the throttle, and the jet ski began to move forward steadily.
The sea breeze brushed against their faces, carrying the salty scent of seawater.
Alvin patiently explained the key points, and Kalifa, being intelligent, quickly grasped the technique. She soon drove the jet ski smoothly across the sea, while the splashing water shimmered brilliantly under the sunlight.
"Alvin, I have learned it. You can let go now, right?" Kalifa's voice came from ahead through the sound of the engine.
"Alright, Kalifa, you are really talented. Let us continue toward Chronos Forest." Alvin withdrew his hand, then naturally wrapped his arm around her waist.
Kalifa's body stiffened slightly. This was the first time in her life she had been held from behind like this. Yet this steady embrace somehow gave her a strange sense of reassurance.
"Speed up. The sky does not look right. Let us reach Chronos Forest as soon as possible." Alvin lowered his head and spoke close to her ear.
"I understand. Do not speak so close to my ear," Kalifa said with a composed expression, though the tips of her ears had turned slightly red.
"Oh, sorry." Alvin replied with a faint, teasing smile, still leaning close.
Kalifa said nothing more. Feeling slightly helpless, she directly twisted the throttle to the maximum.
The jet ski shot forward like an arrow released from a bow, sending waves crashing behind it and leaving a long trail across the sea.
Alvin leaned back comfortably, thoroughly enjoying the moment.
Kalifa, seated in front of him, wore black fishnet stockings, a tight black skirt, and high heels. Her golden hair fluttered in the wind as she drove, making her look both beautiful and commanding.
However, her slender waist, so narrow it could almost be encircled with one hand, made it somewhat difficult to hold onto her securely.
Alvin silently thought to himself that he should find an opportunity to have her gain a bit of weight in the future. Such a thin waist did not seem particularly healthy.
---
About two hours later, Alvin and Kalifa arrived at Chronos Forest.
After Kalifa brought the jet ski to a stop, Alvin casually stored it into his system space, a scene that once again startled the people at the port.
Alvin was already used to such reactions.
"Let us go. We will find a hotel in town first. After all, we will be staying here for some time," Alvin said softly.
Kalifa nodded and followed him toward the town. Being someone who valued cleanliness, she was already looking forward to a hot shower.
Perhaps the people at the port had fled and had not spread the news yet, because many in town developed improper thoughts upon seeing Alvin and Kalifa together.
"Hehehe, hey kid, hand over the woman beside you. Do that, and I might spare your life!" A large man, nearly four meters tall, along with several scar-faced subordinates, blocked their path.
"Alvin, may I handle this?" Kalifa asked calmly.
"Of course. Who is he? Does he have a bounty?" Alvin asked, looking at them as if they were already dead.
Kalifa nodded.
"The leader is the captain of the Blood Hand Pirates, Blood Hand Jason, with a bounty of 76 million Berries.
It is said that he enjoys crushing his enemies' heads with his bare hands.
Aside from him, there are three other officers in the crew with bounties, but they are not here. They should be somewhere else in town."
"Hehehe, little beauty, I did not expect you to know so much about me. Since that is the case..."
At that moment, Alvin's figure flashed forward. A streak of crimson sword light cut through the air at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
"Uh..."
Before Blood Hand Jason could finish speaking, his head was severed cleanly by Alvin's blade.
[Ding~]
[Bounty points + 76 million points!]
"Cap... Captain!" The remaining crew members were instantly overwhelmed with terror.
The surrounding crowd had not expected that the captain of the Blood Hand Pirates, who had only just arrived, would be killed in a single strike by this young man.
"Kalifa, these are yours. I will deal with the other officers of the Blood Hand Pirates." As soon as he finished speaking, Alvin's figure disappeared.
"I thought you would handle all of them." Kalifa said coldly, taking out her thorn whip, her chosen weapon.
"Run... run!" One of the pirates reacted first, screaming in panic as he tried to flee.
"Run!"
The others snapped out of their shock and attempted to escape as well.
But before they could get far, Kalifa's black thorn whip cut through the air, coiling tightly around all of them.
The barbs on the whip pierced their flesh instantly, and sharp cries of pain rang out one after another. Kalifa clearly had no intention of letting them off easily.
Soon, a bloody scene unfolded on the street. A beautiful woman in revealing attire stood there, wielding a black thorn whip as she mercilessly punished several pirates.
As if venting her emotions, Kalifa lashed them repeatedly until they no longer moved.
After finishing them off, she steadied her breathing, flicked the blood from the whip, put it away, and walked toward the best hotel in town.
When she arrived, she saw Alvin already waiting for her.
"In the future, if you can eliminate an enemy in one move, do it in one move. Do not give them any chance to escape or fight back," Alvin said calmly.
Kalifa paused for a moment, then quickly realized he was referring to her actions.
"I understand," she replied.
Alvin nodded. "Let us go. We will take a shower first, then find something to eat."
After speaking, he led the way to the top floor of the hotel. He had already arranged everything before Kalifa arrived.
This time, by eliminating all the bounty targets from the Blood Hand Pirates, he obtained 210 million bounty points. Combined with the remaining 41.7 million from before, he could strengthen himself once again.
