Picking a fight

"W..what should I do?" Nojiko's words caused a great stir in Caroline's heart, Eragon was her everything she couldn't imagine herself living without him anymore.

"I agree, we have to do something, we can't leave things like this to luck…" Nami chimed in while putting a hand on Caroline's shoulder to show her support. She stopped stretching a while ago so she could listen to Charline's and Nojiko's conversation. She also started to have concerns after everything she heard.

Nojiko had a look of sympathy in her eyes as she sighed "I'm afraid it's not so simple, according to what I heard last night and today, you two can't satisfy Eragon's libido completely, so it's already set in stone he would search for an outlet someplace else…"

Looking at each other, Nami and Caroline were at a loss. Eventually, they returned their attention to Nojiko and asked "You know how men think, what do you suggest we should do?"

Looking at their hopeful expression, obviously counting on her to provide them with a solution. Nojiko put her hand on her chin to think and after a short pause of deliberation, she said "Well, the only solution I can think of is…

"This…" Listening to Nojiko's plan made Caroline feel uncomfortable, and as she looked at Nami's expression, she could tell she didn't like it either. However, remembering how Nojiko has been right so far, Caroline started to hesitate.

The girls spent the next couple of hours debating with one another, in fact, it was Nojiko who did most of the talking. Until eventually she managed to convince her sister and Caroline she is right.

Subsequently, that night when Eragon returned to his room, he had the most bizarre conversation he ever had with Caroline and Nami "So let me see if I get this right, you are fine with me sleeping with other women, but as a condition you want me to always tell you about it? Is this some kind of a joke?" Looking at the two women sitting in front of him with a serious expression on their faces, Eragon couldn't help but ask incredulously.

"This isn't a joke, we really don't care if you sleep with other women as long as you never try to hide it from us!" Nodding her head, Nami confirmed.

From the side, Caroline quickly piped up "We don't mean you must sleep with other women, it's just that if you do then we want to know about it…"

Not able to detect any signs this was a prank on their faces, the muscles on Eragon's face started twitching, he couldn't understand where the hell this was coming from. After last night, he believed they were heading in a good direction, but now? he would be a fool if he believed there wasn't a trap somewhere.

Knowing that whatever he agreed or disagreed with them it would be a bad decision, he decided to not answer and ask a question instead. Folding his hands on his chest, he put a hurtful expression on his face "Where is this coming from? Do you think I am cheating on you or something?"

"Humph, Don't change the subject, you don't enter this bed until you promise us!" Nami pursed her red lips slightly and said while looking him dead in the eyes.

Seeing that Nami didn't fall for it, he still tried again. Putting the most pitiful expression he could, he looked at Caroline with doggie eyes "Can you please just tell me why?"

Biting her lower lip with her teeth, Caroline averted her eyes so she won't look at Eragon and remained silent. It seems she was already prepared so she didn't fall for his tricks.

It didn't matter what Eragon said or did, Caroline and Nami really didn't let him enter the bed until he promised them he won't sleep with other women and try to hide it from them. But even after that, they still didn't say why they asked this of him, leaving him frustrated. It didn't even occur to him it was all part of Nojiko's idea, there simply wasn't any reason to suspect her.

After the little saga, things finally calmed down for the night. Deciding he made a fool of himself enough for the day, Eragon didn't ask any more questions and instead, he transferred his frustration to the form of sex. And soon enough, the sound of moaning sounded in the room with wet slapping sounds.

Days passed swiftly and a form of routine was made, they would train during the day while at night they would have sex. These past few days made it clear that not only Nami's and Caroline's looks have changed, but their strength has also gone through a complete metamorphosis. Their strength, speed, endurance and all their other physical aspects in general, were enhanced significantly. He couldn't be certain but he believed even their thinking speed became a little faster!

Caroline and Nami were over the moon after experiencing the obvious improvement in their physical capabilities during training. The only thing that left them unsatisfied was the fact they still couldn't produce chakra in In their body despite their physical change. Even after Eragon poured his chakra into their bodies to give them a feeling of what is chakra, they still could not produce chakra on their own...

And in the blink of an eye, the day of their departure arrived. Eragon simply stuffed everything he needed into a sealed paper using the Enclosing Technique, he only carried a small briefcase so that it will not arouse anyone's suspicion. After thinking about it for some time, Eragon decided not to tell the girls about the Enclosing Technique. Since chakra was required to put and extract things from the sealed paper, he shuddered when he imagined Nami dragging him all over the city going on a shopping spree every day.

Currently, Eragon and the girls were standing on the beach under the hot, summer sun, waiting for the marine ship that was supposed to take them to Marineford to arrive. Looking to the side, he could see Caroline sweating profusely, her clothes sticking to her body tightly, accentuating her curves. The two sisters standing next to her were in the same sweaty state.

As it turns out, Nojiko has joined them on their way to Marineford. He didn't plan to take her along, but yesterday night Nami started acting cute and all, saying she didn't want to leave her sister after they finally reunited. Not seeing a reason to refuse, he agreed to bring her sister along if Nojiko wanted.

And evidently, she did...

Wiping the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, Eragon shot an annoyed glance at James. Looking at him sitting under the shade of an umbrella while waving the fan in his hand in an attempt to generate some breeze, his anger spiked "Fu*k! It's all your damn fault you piece of shit! We are waiting for two hours already for that ship to arrive!!"

Glancing at Eragon from the corner of his eyes, James's face remained unperturbed as he wasn't bothered about the allegations thrown at him "How was I supposed to know headquarters will send a vice admiral to pick you up? Besides, they said they would arrive in the morning, it's not my fault they are late" It's true that James was not the one to blame, it was Commodore Brannew who feared Eragon would run into pirates on the way to Marineford. Especially after Zeus attacked and killed an entire marine ship, as a result, Brannew had to call a vice-admiral who was coincidentally in the area on vacation and asked him to make a detour to pick Eragon in passing.

There were many new devil fruits being discovered every day, but this was the first time a devil fruit that controls the sea was discovered. Hence the reason for the importance that Marine's higher-up placed on Eragon.

Hearing James answer rendered Eragon utterly speechless for a moment before he snapped "You take me for a fool?? You brought an umbrella and a fan for god sakes!"

The more he looked at James sitting there, the more sorely tempted Eragon felt to kick his ass. Luckily, just as he was about to do something, Caroline exclaimed in a loud voice "I think I see a ship!"

Turning his attention to the distant horizon, he could indeed faintly see a black dot. Circulating his chakra and concentrating it towards his eyes, Eragon's eyesight sharpened greatly and allowed him to see a marine battleship sailing in their direction speedily.

'That marine ship looks a little weird, if I'm not mistaken it's that vice-admiral battleship!' As time passed and the marine ship got closer to the beach, the more certain Eragon became his guess was right 'It actually makes perfect sense, from all the vice-admirals I know, the one who hangs around East Blue the most is definitely him…'

A few minutes later, the battleship stopped a short distance from the beach and a small wooden boat paddled in their direction soon after. Turning his attention back to James, he noticed the surprise on his face, apparently, he didn't know which vice-admiral was coming.

"I have seen plenty of bizarre pirate ships, but this is the first time I've seen such a weird marine ship, does the ship's captain have a weird fetish with dogs, perhaps?" To his side, Nami was having a thoughtful look as she also examined the ship's figurehead and Eragon couldn't agree with her more. The ship's crow nests were shaped like a dog house and the figurehead was a dog head, which has a bone in its mouth. There were many sails for this ship, with the masts shaped like bones with dog-paws.

"I suggest you won't speak like that when you are on the ship, young lady" Standing up, James packed his things before he turned to Eragon "Well, my job here is done. I hope your sail be smooth and I wish you good luck at the special training camp, hope the next time we meet will be between fellow officers, goodbye!"

'The next time we meet, I will definitely outrank you, and then… hehe' While Eragon was imagining all the things he will make James do as he abused his authority as his superior, the wooden boat arrived. Putting their luggage on the wooden boat and boarding it, the young marine who was on the boat quickly paddled and it wasn't long before they were already standing on the battleship's deck.

Frowning, Eragon could see the marines on the battleship checking the girls with heat in their eyes. So he did what any man in his situation would do, make an example of someone and let them witness the consequences should any of them have any thoughts about his women again. Scanning the man around him, his gaze soon fell on a tall, tanned, broad-chested, muscular old man. He had a small white beard and a scar over his left eye and he was wearing a white coat with the word 'Justice' written on his back. Eragon Immediately recognized him as vice-admiral Monkey D. Garp, Luffy's grandfather!

Garp was also scanning him with his eyes before he poked his nose with his finger and said in an indifferent tone "You must be the brat Brannew didn't stop blabbering about, saying you ate a never before seen devil fruit or something"

'If I want to create a deterrence, I might as well bet all in!' For a fraction of a second, the corners of Eragon's mouth twitched upwards, matching Garp's gaze with his own Eragon laughed as he spoke "And you old man must be the ship's butler, would you mind showing us to our rooms please?"

Following his words, the surrounding marines' expressions changed instantly, before everyone around him began to laugh like they had just heard the funniest joke ever.

"Haha he called the captain a butler!!"

"Haha this is the first time I heard that one for sure"

"I like this kid, he has guts!"

Caroline and the girls looked at Eragon in shock, clearly not expecting him to say something like that.

Not minding the laughter, Eragon watched as Garp's expression turned blank as he seemed to process what he just heard. Subsequently, a smile that could only be called evil spread on his face as he clenched his right hand into a fist and rubbed it with his left hand "Oh, It seems a fist of love is in order"
