After pondering for a while, Stussy stood up from the sofa.
"Let's go. You lead the way. I'm going to meet this super rookie pirate!"
The abnormal situation had made Stussy extremely interested in Kaito.
Rather than continuing to make random guesses on her own, she might as well go directly to the source and inquire about the details herself.
"My lord, do you think our sisters dance beautifully?"
"The dancing is good, but the clothes aren't revealing enough."
"How could they be? Our outfits were custom-made by professionals."
"That only proves the person you hired wasn't professional enough!"
"My lord, don't just watch the dancing. Let's have a drink!"
"My lord, it's a little inconvenient to have fun here. Why don't we go to the hotel next door?"
"Yes, yes! The hotel next door is also run by us, and there are plenty of interesting props there."
"I'm exhausted, my lord. You're amazing!"
Inside the luxurious private room, the atmosphere became increasingly lively, and the temperature continued to rise.
The ten top-ranking women who had been hired were dressed more and more lightly as the festivities continued.
On the specially prepared stage, seven of the women swayed gracefully, displaying their dancing skills for Kaito, who was sitting on the sofa.
Kaito enjoyed the performance while receiving the attention of the other three women.
Two of them sat beside him, one on each side, occasionally offering him fine wine and snacks.
As for the last woman, she had a somewhat harder time. Since there was no room beside him, she could only kneel opposite Kaito and attend to him there.
"Don't think you can slack off just because you're saying that. Hurry up. You lost the game earlier, so according to the rules, you have to finish your task."
Reclining comfortably on the sofa with an arm around each of the two women beside him, Kaito looked down at the exhausted woman and laughed as he urged her to continue.
The woman had no choice but to wipe her cheeks before continuing.
Boom, boom, boom...
Enjoying the woman's attention while watching the graceful figures dancing on the stage, Kaito felt increasingly relaxed.
He even began to think that going to the hotel next door might not be a bad idea.
After all, one of the women had said there were plenty of interesting props there, which made him curious enough to wonder whether they were really as interesting as she claimed.
Just as he was thinking about it, someone suddenly knocked on the door of the private room.
"Who is it?"
Hearing the knock, one of the women beside Kaito couldn't help looking toward the door curiously.
She then slipped away from Kaito's side, walked naturally toward the entrance in her light outfit, and opened the door.
"Lady Stussy?!"
The moment the door opened, the woman was surprised to see the person standing outside.
She immediately recovered and respectfully bowed.
"Lady Stussy!"
When the other women in the private room heard the voice, they immediately stopped what they were doing and respectfully greeted the figure entering the room.
Yes.
It was Stussy.
Kaito, who was half reclining on the sofa, looked toward Stussy as she entered the private room, surprise appearing in his eyes.
"Mr. Kaito, I hope you don't mind me disturbing your pleasant evening."
After entering the room, Stussy's gaze immediately fell upon Kaito sitting on the central sofa.
Although Kaito was somewhat disheveled, with his pants hanging loosely around his calves, Stussy's expression remained unchanged as she greeted him with a smile.
"The Queen of the Pleasure District, Stussy. I didn't expect to find you here. What? Do you need something from me?"
Kaito was naturally surprised by Stussy's sudden appearance.
But surprise was all it was. He wasn't afraid of her in the slightest.
Instead, he looked at her with considerable interest.
He had to admit that although Stussy was a member of CP0, her appearance and figure certainly lived up to her reputation as the Queen of the Pleasure District.
Among all the women he had encountered so far, her appearance and figure were easily among the best. She was definitely the type he found attractive.
"Leave first."
Seeing Kaito's casual attitude—and especially the fact that he hadn't even bothered to pull his pants back up—Stussy frowned almost imperceptibly.
However, she controlled her emotions well and simply ordered the women in the room to leave.
The women naturally didn't dare disobey Stussy's orders.
One after another, they obediently left the private room and closed the door behind them.
"You sent them away. Does that mean you're planning to serve me yourself?"
Kaito slowly pulled up his pants and stood.
He looked playfully at Stussy across from him before leisurely walking toward her.
"Mr. Kaito, you're joking. Although I run Happy Street, I don't provide those kinds of services myself."
Stussy remained unmoved by Kaito's teasing.
Even when he approached her, she immediately shifted aside to avoid him.
Just as Stussy had said, although she was the Queen of the Pleasure District, she did not personally offer the same services as the women working under her.
She had come here because she wanted to use alcohol and conversation to gather information from Kaito.
"Heh. That's not up to you."
When Kaito saw her avoid him, the smile on his face grew wider.
It was true that Stussy's appearance had exceeded his expectations.
But since she had appeared before him, how could he simply let her leave?
The moment his words fell, Kaito suddenly transformed into an afterimage.
He instantly closed the distance between them and reached out with lightning speed, attempting to grab her.
A red light flashed in his eyes.
Stussy was obviously prepared for Kaito.
The moment he moved, her Observation Haki immediately sensed his movements.
Without hesitation, she displayed her agility and quickly dodged the right hand reaching toward her.
As she evaded him, Stussy was both shocked and furious.
What shocked her was the speed of Kaito's movement. She had almost failed to dodge it.
What angered her was the fact that Kaito had actually dared to attack her.
Not to mention her identity as a CP0 agent—even as the Queen of the Pleasure District, there were very few people who dared lay a hand on her.
Although Kaito's bounty had already reached 500 million Berry, such a bounty was not particularly impressive compared with the people Stussy had dealt with before.
"You—"
After dodging away, Stussy withdrew the smile from her face.
A cold expression appeared on her beautiful features, and she immediately prepared to reprimand Kaito.
But before she could continue, Kaito's right hand, which had grabbed nothing but air, did not stop.
He immediately pursued her and reached out to grab Stussy again.
This time, his hand moved far faster than before.
