Chapter 38: Rescue of Olvia
Vilin noticed the white-haired woman's slightly evasive gaze.
This made him show a strange expression.
When he saw her sexy lingerie exposed to the air,
he immediately took off his white shirt and draped it over her shoulders.
One could say she truly was Nico Robin's mother—even their taste in clothing was similar.
Seeing Vilin's gentle action,
the white-haired woman's pretty face flushed even deeper.
Looking at Vilin's exposed, muscular physique,
she unconsciously swallowed.
Vilin was unaware of her small reaction.
At that moment,
he was coldly staring at the pirates still climbing aboard via ropes.
Seeing several pirates reach the deck,
Vilin drew the black long sword at his waist.
With one casual swing,
a ghostly green slash cut through the air.
It instantly sliced the pirates in half.
The white-haired woman hiding behind Vilin was shocked by his overwhelming strength.
The pirates saw their comrades killed so effortlessly.
They immediately stopped climbing and scrambled back down the ropes toward their ship at full speed.
The Black Shark Pirates' captain saw Vilin unleash a flying slash from thin air.
His whole face began to tremble.
He raised a shaking arm, pointing at Vilin in terror, and shouted:
"S-Swordsman! He's a swordsman—retreat!"
"Get the ship out of here, now!"
Hearing the captain's order,
the helmsman immediately turned the pirate ship and fled in the opposite direction.
Vilin saw they were trying to escape.
He raised his black sword high toward the enemy ship's mast.
A green slash streaked across the sky.
Crack!
The Black Shark Pirates watched in horror as
their ship's mast was severed from afar.
With the mast gone, the ship could no longer sail.
At this moment,
every pirate looked at the tall, imposing figure with utter despair.
The white-haired woman saw Vilin casually cut the enemy mast from a distance.
Her wheat-colored cheeks instantly burned hot.
She felt her heart racing—she seemed to have fallen in love.
After severing the mast,
Vilin entered full slaughter mode.
He didn't stop until every last pirate was dead.
Only then did Vilin walk toward the white-haired woman.
"Hello, my name is Aitrias Vilin."
"And you are?"
Though Vilin had already guessed her identity, he pretended not to know and asked politely.
"Hello! I'm Nico Olvia!"
"Thank you for saving me!"
"No problem. I really hate pirates like them."
Vilin spoke earnestly to Nico Olvia.
"By the way, I haven't asked yet—where were you headed?"
"I was originally planning to go to the Alabasta Kingdom."
"But now… I don't think I will."
"Traveling alone is far too dangerous!"
"If it weren't for you this time, I might have died."
Nico Olvia stole a glance at Vilin,
then lowered her head with a slightly dejected look.
"Olvia, why don't you join my adventure crew?"
"Our next stop is Alabasta Kingdom."
"That way, you'll have our protection."
Nico Olvia heard Vilin inviting her to join his adventure crew.
A shy expression appeared on her face,
making her look even more charming.
"Thank you so much!"
While the two were chatting,
a fifty-meter medium-sized sailing ship appeared before Olvia.
The small ship was shaped like a bird,
decorated with gorgeous feather patterns on the exterior.
The deck had various entertainment facilities.
There was even a small fruit grove planted on board.
Seeing how luxurious Vilin's ship was,
Olvia's beautiful eyes instantly lit up.
Soon she noticed a group of women with varied and striking appearances standing on the deck.
They all looked very beautiful.
For a moment, Olvia felt a touch of inferiority.
Because she had been traveling constantly,
her skin had tanned to a healthy wheat color.
Vilin saw the Flying Bird arrive.
He wrapped an arm around Olvia's soft waist and leaped toward the deck.
Nico Olvia felt the warmth of Vilin's hand on her waist.
Her body went weak.
Her heart pounded wildly.
She couldn't help tightening her arms around Vilin's neck.
When the two landed on deck,
the Aitrias Pirates immediately gathered around Vilin.
"Everyone, go collect the spoils."
At Vilin's command,
several female crew members used Moon Step and flew toward the Black Shark Pirates' ship.
Seeing how powerful these women were,
Nico Olvia was momentarily stunned.
Rouge saw Vilin return with a new woman.
She swayed her round hips as she walked over.
Vilin saw Rouge approaching.
He wrapped an arm around her waist and introduced the two.
After everyone had greeted each other,
Vilin asked Aurora to take Nico Olvia on a tour of the Flying Bird.
Seeing Olvia follow Aurora to explore the ship,
Vilin lay back on a lounge chair with the seven-months-pregnant Rouge,
enjoying a warm sunbath.
Rouge rested her head happily on Vilin's chest and curiously looked up at him.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Rouge staring at him, Vilin couldn't help asking.
"Do you like Olvia?"
"I feel like the way you look at her is a little different from how you look at the other crew members."
"Ahem~"
Vilin didn't expect Rouge's senses to be so sharp.
"Hehe, I'm pretty good at reading people."
"How about I help you talk to her sometime?"
Seeing how understanding Rouge was,
Vilin looked at her with even greater tenderness.
He sighed inwardly:
To have such a wife—what more could a husband ask for?
But to build a powerful family in this world,
Vilin knew he couldn't have only one partner.
He couldn't let Rouge bear children for him every year alone.
That would make her nothing more than a breeding tool.
Vilin pinched Rouge's cheek, eyes full of gentleness.
"That kind of thing depends on fate."
Hearing Vilin care so much about her feelings,
Rouge's face filled with happiness.
She leaned up and kissed Vilin on the lips.
After a long while,
their lips parted.
Seeing this scene,
the female crew members on deck all showed looks of longing.
A man as outstanding as Vilin was extremely rare in the pirate world.
At this moment, they secretly hoped for the day they could become his woman.
At the same time,
Aurora, who was counting the loot, also looked at Rouge with envy.
Her eyes were filled with anticipation and desire.
As a former kingdom princess,
Aurora had long understood that an outstanding man like Vilin would never have only one woman.
She had already learned from Annie:
Vilin's dream was to build a powerful family.
That meant he couldn't possibly have only Rouge as his wife.
In other words,
any woman in the Aitrias Pirates had the potential to become part of this family in the future.
Aurora understood clearly:
as long as she remained the secretary of the Aitrias Pirates,
she would definitely become Vilin's woman one day.
Her position was extremely important to a pirate crew.
Thinking of this,
Aurora's heart couldn't help but race with excitement.
