Chapter 45
At the Aitrias Pirates' camp.
At this moment, the crew members of Aitrias had spontaneously formed a protective circle around Rouge's tent.
They surrounded the tent, each one especially excited.
They waited quietly like this for the birth of the first little baby in the Aitrias Pirates.
Vilin was anxiously pacing back and forth in place.
But what Vilin didn't expect was that only half an hour passed before a loud infant cry rang out from inside the room.
"Captain, the child has been born."
"What a lively little rascal!"
Hearing that his child had been born, Vilin excitedly rushed straight into the tent.
Soon Vilin saw Rouge gently teasing the child in front of her with a tender face.
Her face was full of the radiance of maternal love.
When Rouge saw Vilin walk in, she excitedly handed the child to Vilin.
When the little guy was held in Vilin's arms, everyone was surprised to see the child rubbing its head against Vilin's chest in his embrace.
Seeing this scene, Vilin was somewhat dumbfounded and amused.
After holding the child for a while, Vilin let all the crew members hold this cute little guy.
The crew members of the Aitrias Pirates, seeing how adorable the little one was, couldn't bear to let go.
Only after all the crew members had seen the little guy did Vilin send the child back to Rouge's arms.
Seeing that—thanks to the Smooth-Smooth Fruit—Rouge's body had already returned to its original state, Vilin looked at the now even more voluptuous Rouge with eyes full of intense heat.
Rouge saw Vilin's expression that looked like he wanted to eat her and playfully blinked at Vilin.
Tonight was destined to be another sleepless night.
The two would release all their longing and love for each other in the most primitive way.
This night, in the silent camp,
a series of beautiful "songs of life" echoed.
Listening to this wonderful music, the crew members of the Aitrias Pirates couldn't help but clench their thighs tightly and toss and turn restlessly in their beds.
The next day, Vilin walked out of Rouge's tent feeling refreshed and invigorated.
When he saw the many resentful gazes coming from the camp, Vilin felt extremely embarrassed.
He had no choice but to pretend not to see them and walk toward the interior of the island, wanting to take a walk to relax his body.
In the dense forest, as Vilin ventured deeper, he suddenly wanted to check if any undiscovered Devil Fruits had appeared on this island.
Vilin activated his ability and controlled the surrounding plants to scout.
He was pleasantly surprised to discover a Devil Fruit hidden in a stone wall.
Although it looked like it might be a Zoan-type, Vilin was still quite satisfied.
If it turned out to be a good-looking animal, Vilin decided to give it to his crew members.
Vilin was very fond of Haidi and Hu Yue, these two beast-eared girls.
As for Aurora, Vilin still decided to find her a suitable Paramecia-type fruit.
For Olvia, Vilin absolutely had to prepare a Devil Fruit with strong defensive power for her. The best would be the Barrier-Barrier Fruit or the Glint-Glint Fruit.
The Aitrias Pirates rested on this small island for another month.
Only then did the Flying Bird, under Sophia's command, set sail toward the next island.
Vilin's next target was Long Ring Long Land, located around Water 7.
Vilin remembered that the Slow-Slow Fruit seemed to have appeared here.
Vilin felt it was still necessary to collect that fruit.
During the three months the Aitrias Pirates had disappeared,
several promising pirate crews had also appeared in the Grand Line.
But none could compare to the Roger Pirates.
Because the Roger Pirates could always break through the encirclement of Vice Admirals.
Because Roger took great care of his partners, he recruited a fighter named Jaba.
The strength of the Roger Pirates became even stronger.
The Navy was also troubled by this.
For the Navy, the only good news was that the Five Elders had already agreed to the Navy's request for expansion.
This made Kong very excited.
He could finally try to reclaim the territory the Navy had lost in the New World.
While the Roger Pirates were entangled with the Navy,
a major piece of news once again attracted the attention of all forces.
Because the Aitrias Pirates had finally reappeared.
Upon receiving the news that the Aitrias Pirates had reappeared,
the Navy—already short on manpower—could only helplessly watch as Vilin continued heading toward Water 7.
New World, Beehive Island.
A bar named Kiro.
This place attracted a large number of pirates every day.
This also caused business here to be extremely hot.
But this was not the most important role of this bar.
Its biggest role was to collect intelligence.
In a room inside the bar, Shakky, dressed in revealing clothes, was lying on a soft sofa reading the newspaper.
Soon she discovered information about the Aitrias Pirates in the corner of the newspaper.
When Shakky saw Vilin's heroic side profile again,
she couldn't help but reveal a charming smile.
Upon learning that Vilin would soon enter the New World, Shakky took a drag from the thin cigarette between her jade fingers.
Alabasta, inside the royal palace.
Titi stared blankly at the familiar face on the newspaper in her hand.
By now, Titi had already investigated Vilin's past thoroughly.
Upon learning that Vilin had previously been a slave of the nobility, she was completely stunned.
Titi never imagined that a man with such a gentle smile had once suffered such a tragic fate.
Even when she saw that Vilin had directly killed the prince of the Ronmel Kingdom to protect Annie,
Titi felt happy for Vilin's bravery.
This also allowed her to understand Vilin's character more clearly from the side.
Because of this, Titi became even more unable to forget that solid figure.
"Hehe, you just wait for me."
"A person who dares to stand up my princess can't possibly escape from the palm of my hand."
Great Route – first half, Long Ring Long Land.
The Flying Bird was sailing toward Long Ring Long Land.
According to navigator Sophia's calculations, with the Flying Bird's speed, they would arrive in only two days.
Upon hearing this news, the crew members who had been on the ship for a month showed delighted expressions.
Although the Flying Bird's configuration was already very luxurious, it still couldn't eliminate everyone's fatigue.
In the cafeteria,
all the crew members of the Aitrias Pirates gathered together eating the delicious food made by Manly's chef team.
While everyone was immersed in the deliciousness of the food,
urgh~
Olvia suddenly dry-heaved at the food in front of her.
Soon all the crew members turned their gazes toward Olvia.
As someone who had experienced it, Rouge of course understood that Olvia must be pregnant.
So Rouge congratulated Olvia:
"Olvia little sister, congratulations, you're pregnant with Vilin's child!"
Upon hearing that Olvia was also pregnant with Vilin's child,
everyone present cast envious gazes one after another.
This instantly made Olvia the center of attention.
Seeing everyone looking at her,
Olvia shyly buried her head in Vilin's embrace.
"That's great! Our little Naz is going to have younger brothers and sisters!"
"He probably won't be lonely anymore in the future."
Vilin also smoothly pulled Rouge into his arms and said.
Seeing Vilin so gentle and considerate,
the two women happily rested their heads on Vilin's chest.
Only little Annie looked at Vilin very angrily.
There was no helping it—seeing everyone else become Vilin's wife, while she was only twelve years old now.
Regarding Olvia's pregnancy,
Vilin had already anticipated it.
But Vilin was still very happy and started a banquet on the ship.
