December 14, 1500, Age of the Sea Circle
Two days had passed since Orion and the others had arrived on the island where Gladius was. During that time, Orion had had the chance to observe the Named Character in question, and he had even interacted with him through a brief conversation.
In the end, Orion had reached the conclusion that Gladius was not someone he wanted to recruit. The young teenager, only thirteen years old at the moment, had severe personality issues. And it was not exactly a mental disorder like Giolla's had been, but rather a deeply ingrained trait of his character.
Whenever he looked at Gladius, Orion could not help but recall Rob Lucci, since they shared quite a few common traits in their personalities. While it was true that Gladius's talent was truly remarkable, Orion considered it would be a pain in the ass to have to deal with someone like him.
At present, there was great harmony and unity among his subordinates, and Orion did not want to risk introducing such a dangerous variable as Gladius into the equation. The benefits he might gain from recruiting him probably did not justify the efforts it would take to keep him under control, so Orion had practically discarded the idea of taking him in as a subordinate.
Once the thought of recruiting him was out of his mind, Orion had to face another dilemma: should he eliminate him?
With the talent Gladius possessed, and considering his personality issues and psychopathic tendencies, it was highly likely that he would become someone terrible in the future. However, when Orion had used his Prism Eyes to analyze him, the boy's morality had appeared gray, since up until now he had lived a fairly quiet life.
It could be said that Gladius was a ticking time bomb, but for now he had done nothing to justify Orion simply erasing him. For this reason, Orion had been hesitant about what to do for the past two days, but he had finally decided that he could not judge someone for things they had yet to commit.
Had Orion read the original story in his past life, and known whether Gladius had committed atrocities or not, perhaps he could have reached a different decision. But with the limited information he had, he had not been able to act against the teenager.
After all, it could very well happen that Gladius grew up into a restrained psychopath, causing little harm, though the chances of that were not very high.
In any case, Orion decided that, for now, he would give this boy the benefit of the doubt and would entrust Karasu with keeping him informed of Gladius's future movements. If one day Gladius began crossing the line, Orion would come and end him with his own hands.
Once the idea of recruiting Gladius went down the drain, Orion simply waited for Doflamingo's arrival, planning to ambush him together with the Northern Army and steal the Buki Buki no Mi. Kuma had already gone to fetch Karasu and his men and brought them to the island, so now all they had to do was wait for the future Warlord to arrive in order to act.
However, right now there was something else entirely occupying Orion's mind, something of vital importance. Anyone who saw the determined look in his eyes, a look unusually serious, would know how important the matter was.
Baby 5 was wandering the island along with Kuma and Garride, which meant Orion and Reira had finally found a moment to be alone. The time had finally come to take the final step with the masochistic pirate!
Thinking of Reira's curvaceous body, and of her arrogant expression one moment and subservient the next, Orion felt the blood in his body begin to boil.
"What are you staring at me with those filthy eyes for?!" said Reira, arrogantly lifting her chin.
Orion did not answer her question and instead approached her with an aggressive gaze, pulling off his shirt and revealing his defined muscles, which made Reira's expression falter for an instant before snapping back to normal.
"Heh, so you're finally showing your true face, huh? You're like a rutting beast. Do you really think you can lay your hands on me? Know your place," the young pirate continued, her gaze turning colder at Orion's vulgar movements.
Orion kept advancing with his aggressive grin, stripping off his pants and standing completely naked, proudly displaying his manhood.
Reira swallowed hard, her legs beginning to rub together involuntarily, but she did not break character. In this roleplay, they had to be completely committed to the act in order to maximize the pleasure.
"Stay away from me! Beast! I belong to a noble family, and a mere commoner like you thinks he can lay hands on me?! Stop dreaming!"
Reira, who had been sitting on a chair beside the bed, suddenly stood up with the intent of leaving, but before she could take two steps, Orion grabbed her arm and yanked her hard, throwing her directly onto the bed.
"Ah!" the beautiful pirate cried out as she landed roughly on the soft mattress. Then she lifted her gaze with an angry expression, only to see Orion standing before her once more, his hands reaching for her clothes.
"No! Stay away from me!" said Reira, moving her body from side to side in an attempt to escape Orion's grasp.
However, it was completely useless, since Orion was absolutely determined to go all the way and would not let her escape.
With a sharp sound, Reira's clothes were torn apart in a single pull by Orion, leaving her white, soft skin exposed, although curiously, some scraps of fabric still managed to cover the most secret parts of the beautiful pirate.
Reira's eyes suddenly filled with tears, because pleasure was starting to take hold of her. Yet she knew it was not the moment to give in, so she once again put on an angry expression, suppressing her truest feelings.
"Do you think you can break me like this? You're just a pathetic animal! You'll never have me. Even if you force me, my heart will never be yours!" Reira said, staring directly into Orion's eyes with an expression of indignation and confrontation.
"You talk too much, bitch. It's time I taught you how an obedient bitch should behave," Orion said in a deep voice, covering Reira's mouth with one hand to silence her, while with the other he pinched one of her nipples hard, making her writhe from the painful pleasure spreading through her body.
Reira's eyes filled with tears again, her cheeks flushed, and even her breathing quickened. It was clear she was in a state of undeniable arousal.
Suddenly, Orion raised his hand and brought it down violently on Reira.
Slap!
The red imprint of his palm remained on the white skin of her ass, giving it an even more tempting look. Reira's body was truly beautiful—not only were her breasts large, but her ass was also very prominent, and any normal man who saw it would not be able to avoid fantasizing about all sorts of things.
Now, Orion was indulging in doing what so many had only dreamed of—and even more—and he was enjoying it immensely!
"Ah! Stop right now! That's an order!" Reira screamed.
However, in Orion's ears, such words were nothing more than a desperate plea for him not to stop.
Slap, Slap, Slap!
Orion's hand kept descending on the pirate's beautiful ass, the red marks spreading quickly. With every new blow, Reira let out small moans of pleasure that made Orion's blood boil even more.
If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to maximize the pleasure they would experience on this first night together through this role playing, Orion would have already thrown himself on her to begin a fierce battle.
Finally, Orion stopped striking Reira's plump ass. She looked at him with tears streaming down her cheeks and an intoxicated expression. Right now, it was difficult for her to maintain her arrogant aristocratic-girl persona.
Originally, they had planned to extend the role playing for quite a while, moving from slaps to insults and finally to the special whip Orion had purchased from the system shop for this occasion, but seeing Reira's current state, Orion thought they might not be able to follow their original plan.
Perhaps it was because she knew that this time they would take the definitive step and have sexual relations, but she was showing herself to be much more sensitive to stimulation than usual.
Seeing the situation, Orion decided to change plans—there would be time for more role playing later. Without losing his aggressive smile, he brought his face close to Reira's, who immediately puckered her lips to immerse herself in a kiss with him, as they had done on other occasions.
However, at the last moment, Orion grabbed her hair, and with a firm pull made her kneel before him. Then, without any delicacy, he thrust his burning member into Reira's mouth, taking her by surprise and almost causing an accident.
"What are you doing, you useless bitch? Don't you even know how to please your master?" Orion said aggressively, while beginning to move inside Reira's mouth.
The pirate's body visibly trembled, but she immediately fell into the proper rhythm, using her tongue to please Orion obediently, all while letting out seductive moans that forced Orion to focus as much as possible not to lose the battle too soon.
Holding Reira's long blonde hair with one hand, Orion enjoyed the movements of her tongue and the warm pleasure her mouth gave him. On the other hand, Reira seemed possessed, completely devoted to her task, having entirely forgotten about the role play. Right now, she was letting her true self and her deepest desires emerge, and she was enjoying it even more than Orion.
Reira began moving her head with great speed, becoming more and more skilled at the task of pleasing Orion with her mouth. Orion placed both hands on the pirate's head, guiding her intense movements, until finally the climax came. He held her head in place, letting her receive all his love directly.
Reira shut her eyes tightly, feeling her entire body tremble as the thick liquid filled her mouth and slid down her throat. Finally, Orion finished his climax, but Reira was still immersed in hers, feeling once again a shudder rising from the very depths of her being.
Orion sighed with satisfaction, and as he looked at Reira—who had collapsed onto the bed like a puddle of mud, still trembling from her orgasms—he felt his manhood harden once more, ready for another battle.
Without wasting any more time, and not allowing Reira to recover from her previous climax, Orion took her in his arms and, with a swift movement, flipped her over so that the sexy pirate's face was pressed against the soft pillow.
Instinctively, she raised her hips, revealing an unmatched and breathtaking sight that made Orion's breathing quicken, while his heart began to pound harder, adjusting to the heat of the moment.
Unable to contain his desire any longer, Orion gripped her firmly by the hips, pressed himself against the moist, inviting entrance that was staring back at him temptingly, and thrust forward with strength, thus completing his first union with the masochistic pirate.
Reira felt Orion invade her with force, her head sinking deeper into the pillow while her ass lifted even higher, like a true bitch receiving her male.
Orion immediately abandoned all rationality, violently rocking his hips and making Reira experience a pleasure she had never known before.
The sound of their fierce movements echoed through the Pocket Dimension for a long while, and it wouldn't be until many hours later that their first encounter finally came to an end.
…
December 15, 1500, Age of the Sea Circle
The following morning, a door suddenly opened in midair, and Orion emerged from the Pocket Dimension with a radiant smile. After a long night of exercise, his condition was perfect and his mood was triumphant.
Kuma, Garride, and Baby 5 were there, waiting for him to appear, and as they saw him step out of the Pocket Dimension, they all looked at him with curiosity. Garride especially gave him a complicated stare, chewing on the red rose he held in his mouth.
Truth be told, he could never openly admit that he had never thought about having "something" with Reira. After all, they had grown up together and later decided to abandon their aristocratic lives to become pirates side by side. He knew Reira had no interest in him, and as a result he had instinctively refrained from trying to change their relationship.
Even so, Reira's sexy appearance and the closeness they had shared since childhood had made Garride wonder more than once what might happen if their relationship did change. Perhaps, in some distant future, if Reira failed to find what she was seeking in the world of pirates, then maybe he would have his chance.
Those had been his unconscious thoughts, but now the current situation forced him to abandon such fantasies. Not only had Reira found the person she had been looking for, but that person was his very own boss!
Just as the system had indicated, just as Reira carried the disposition of "the ultimate slave," Garride carried that of the ultimate subordinate. Once he had chosen someone to follow as his leader, it was almost impossible for him to change his stance, and he would faithfully serve that person for the rest of his days.
Orion did not know the reason behind these traits in them, or whether it was the very world of One Piece itself shaping them in such a way, but he had simply decided to accept it and try to ensure that they would not suffer because of the peculiarities of their personalities.
Now that they were his subordinates, Orion would make sure they lived well, though he was unaware that this time, his decision to take Reira as his concubine had caused a faint sadness in Garride.
Even so, Garride's personality was so deeply ingrained that when he realized his boss was the one who had finally conquered his childhood friend, he felt genuinely happy, thinking that only his boss could tame someone like Reira, and that this was how things were meant to be.
Orion did not notice the fleeting unease in his subordinate, who continued chewing the red rose in his mouth as he usually did. Orion's mind was now focused entirely on his next task: the imminent confrontation with the pirate Doflamingo.
Opening the system screen to check Doflamingo's current position and that of his men, Orion discovered there were new unread notifications. Immediately, he opened the notification panel to review the updates.
*Ding*
*The host has formed a new bond*
*Analyzing the new companion, "Reira"*
*Analysis complete. Reira does not meet the requirements to become a concubine*
*Reira has been registered on the companion screen as "Lover"*
*You have obtained 200 SP*
*Reira has been registered as a Pseudo Named Character*
Orion read all the notifications, his expression thoughtful.
Currently, on his companion screen, there were three women registered: Giolla, Christina, and Olive. Christina was listed as a concubine, while Giolla and Olive were registered as secondary wives.
Now, Reira had been added to the companion list, but she was categorized under a new designation. Orion did not know what the system's guidelines were for classifying his companions, but he did know compatibility played a crucial role.
A compatibility of over 90% allowed a woman to be registered as a main wife, while the lower ranks required much less. Still, Reira's compatibility was 61%, which was not low at all.
Christina, who had a similar compatibility, had been registered as a concubine, while Reira had not met the requirements. This indicated to Orion that there were other factors at play when the system categorized his companions, and that compatibility alone was not everything.
Although he hadn't obtained complete information on the matter, Orion was quite pleased to have new data that allowed him to further increase his understanding of the system. After all, the system was his main source of power, and the more he knew about it, the better it would be for him.
For the moment, Orion didn't dwell too much on the system's new categorization regarding his companions and simply made a mental note about it. In the future, it would be good to gather more information on this, though he had no intention of going out of his way to seek women just to experiment.
Even though Orion's libido was far greater than that of a normal person due to the influence of the system and his passive abilities, he tried to maintain certain basic principles when dealing with the women he knew, instead of simply surrendering to his instincts. Although… he wouldn't refuse if an opportunity presented itself in front of him…
While Orion was briefly immersed in these thoughts, Baby 5 ran up to him and threw herself into his arms.
"Orion! Where were you? I thought you had left and abandoned me!" said the little girl with teary eyes, pouting.
Orion lifted her up in his arms and set her on his shoulders.
"I was doing a very important mission with Reira, but we're done now. Anyway, Carla, I don't want you to ever think like that again, I'll never abandon you! But you have to understand that I can't always be by your side either," Orion said, explaining patiently.
"Why can't you always be by my side?" Baby 5 said in a tearful voice, refusing to accept that Orion wouldn't want to be with her.
"It's because I have many things to do, and many times I'll have to go to dangerous places, so you can't come with me."
"Then… if I become really strong, I'll be able to go on missions with you, right? Just like Reira, who went on a mission with you today, right? If I grow up and get strong like Reira, you'll take me on missions like you take her? That way we wouldn't have to be apart!"
Baby 5's words spilled out of her mouth like a machine gun, and Orion didn't have time to interrupt her. However, thinking about the kind of "mission" he had carried out with Reira the previous night, and looking at Baby 5's bright, innocent smile, Orion couldn't help but avert his gaze guiltily.
There was absolutely no way he could explain to her what kind of mission he had carried out with Reira!
With no other choice, Orion had no option but to force a slightly awkward smile and say,
"Of course… If you become strong in the future, I'll take you on missions too, but for now you don't have to worry about that, it's still not time for you to start training!"
With Baby 5's talent, it was impossible for her not to become an elite warrior if given the proper training, but that would have to wait until her body developed a bit more, since she was only four years old, though she would soon turn five.
She would probably need at least another year or two before she could begin training in the Six Techniques (Rokushiki) alongside Kalifa and the others in Pacific Kingdom.
Once he calmed the little Baby 5, Orion checked Doflamingo's position on the map and saw that he was about to arrive. Finally, the confrontation with this dangerous pirate was about to begin.
With Baby 5 still on his shoulders, Orion walked over to where Kuma was, and patting him on the back said,
"Kuma, let's go see Karasu, it's time to act."
