Chapter 73: Aftermath.....

Fishman Island, New World:-

Seeing Noah was still trying to move towards Shirahoshi, Luffy snorted and cut off the space around Noah. Immediately after that, the ship stopped struggling and became motionless.

After that Luffy, went to take care of Vander Decken. Luffy found him in a abandoned ship and without a second thought killed him.

He ordered the Devil Dragons to take care of Hody Jones and his men to avoid any unnecessary problems for future.

Otohime and the royal guards took care of the rest.

....

Night time.

Otohime's eyes closed, she was dead tired, her head found Luffy's shoulder as she slept. Luffy couldn't blame her. The day was tiring, suppressing an uprising.

And dealing with this tragedy. Luffy praised her resilience, she was truly a worthy ruler of her people.

" Well, let's take this cheeky Queen to a bed. " Luffy lifted the mermaid and the soldiers led them to a room where there was a bed, they were happy to lead Luffy about the place. He had gained their utmost respect for what he did to save their Kingdom.

Luffy put the 12-foot mermaid on the longer bed, and pulled the blanket over her. Her eyes, even closed looked dead tired, she deserved a long rest. Even after seeing her in this vulnerable state, she sure was stunning. But soon Luffy's gaze wandered off her body. And he removed himself from the room.

....

When the next time he came to visit Otohime in her room, she was already awake and was very affectionate toward him and he reciprocated in kind.

They talked for a while, as Luffy sat down on the floor beside her bed. Their flirting reached a point where she raised her head and pecked his lips, biting on it.

" Otohime, it's best if you don't go any further. I have my adventure to go on, I can't be by your side. Also... I am not a monogamous person, I have sex with a lot of women, and I also personally can't count on my hand the number of women I actually have feelings for. So if you can't handle me loving other women then it's best to stop right here…." Luffy explained, before his sexual urges demanded to dominate this mermaid.

She was dear to him so he didn't wish for her to suffe. Because he would be constantly 'cheating' on her if they did decide to go any further.

Otohime stared at him, her baby blue eyes glittered, " I don't care, I saw how you eye the women in your crew, the way you eye our mermaids, the way you eye my daughter. I don't care if you end up having sex with 1 or 100 women I just want your love. "

Luffy widened his eyes, and glared at her, a grumble was heard from his throat, " As you wish… Don't regret this. "

His lips met hers and he started kissing her making her whole body feel electric, it was like fireworks, and the way he explored her mouth made her tail curl.

Luffy gently grabbed her golden wavy hair as he deepened the kiss. But both were separated after a while, their mouth having a trail of drool between them, " You're a good kisser Otohime. "

" Why thank you. " She grinned, that happy expression on her face was a sight to see.

" Stick out your tongue for me Otohime-chan. " Luffy sucked on her tongue as his hands explored her breasts. They weren't as large as her daughter's boobs who were the size of a small hill, but they were pretty big.

Otohime was a tall woman at 12', and her endowment was multiplied by her size, her boobs were the size of his head.

" Ahn~, you're playing with my chest, it feels so good~ "

" Your chest is big Otohime, they feel like pillows. " he whispered in her ear while attacking her neck.

Luffy removed her bikini that she always wore, and her pink nipples were revealed as her bosom jiggled. His hands grabbed them and started kneading them, up down and around, he loved playing with breasts.

Otohime arched as she was feeling pleasure by having her boobs played with. She raised her head and started kissing the side of his head and his neck.

Finally, he grabbed her erect nipples and started playing around with them.

" Ahn~ my nipples, don't pull them~ else I~ " Otohime cried in pleasure.

" Or else, what? "

" They're really sensitive, if you continue, I'll cum. I'll cum from my nipples being played with. "

" Hmm? " Luffy had a smirk and pulled both nipples making her arch again, he traced the areola, and twisted both of them. He passed his thumbs over each of them, dragging them up and down. It was too much she was really sensitive, her back tensed and she orgasmed while moaning.

Otohime's hand grabbed his crotch, his cock was swelling from playing with her breasts, it was now a tube-like bulge straining his shorts. She undid the button and pushed the zipper and the underwear down, revealing his massive length.

Luffy walked closer to her face, as she opened the foreskin, and started licking the tip. She licked the side and finally started bobbing her head up and down.

Since she was 3 times the size of a normal woman she didn't have to struggle much to get his cock down her throat.

She bobbed up and down while playing with her breasts. And finally he unloaded six jets of hot cum right down her throat. It rushed to her stomach and mouth, filling her with his precious semen.

As she swallowed his load, both grinned at each other. They had to stop here, because Luffy knew she was dead tired. So he put a blanket over her and gave her goodnight in the form of a kiss on her forehead.

She gave him a good night and went to sleep still tired of the events that happened, but now relieved and happy that the man she loves, loves her back.

.....

The next day.

Luffy stepped into the palace, finally regrouping with his crew and Shirahoshi. As the feast preparations were being made. The group gathered on a balcony. As they discussed their adventures, and what they found cool about the island and its culture.

....

The waves hit the beach on the merchant city of Coral Hill. There was a lot of noise from people working.

" Did you catch anything?! "

" We got a major haul! " A Lady Fish woman had a huge basket on her head full of giant-sized fish.

" Gut the fish and take him to the Palace they're going to have a huge feast for the Devil Dragons. " said a man with a mustache. Carrying the same load as the woman.

" I hear they love sea beast meat! " A man carried a huge animal 30 times his size but he wasn't alone 10 Fishmen were working together to carry the beast.

" Well they'll love this we got 7 of them to serve their crew! "

" Man, how long does this feast gonna last with that much food? "

" Don't know, but Neptune's marriage was a 60-day long feast, a whole two months of nothing but party it was crazy back then...! "

" I heard they are going to have that Kraken as a main dish, but can they eat that thing? It is 300-foot-tall, that thing is massive! "

" Hmm, there are rumors that the Devil Dragons appetite is unmatchable. Remember that lady with the pink shirt black skirt and swirly eyebrows? She already dragged the Kraken to the palace. And is currently cooking it. "

" Man that crew sure works fast! "

" Yeah, so we can't afford to lose face! " The man said with a smile as they carried the beasts.

" We've got sweets and cakes! "

...

" Thank you for coming, Luffy and friends! " A soldier bowed to them. " We will speak inside, during the festivities! " He pointed at some flat giant fish. " Ride those long flounders to the ballroom of the Ryugu Palace! "

There were two of those long flounders. There were bubbles along the top of those fish that protected them from the water. They entered a dark room full of water that was too big for words.

" It's a pitch-black room full of water. " Nami was surprised by the size of the room.

" Is this such a good idea? Now I'm getting a bit nervous. "

" Nyu… I've never been to the palace. " Hachi said.

Camie faced him with a smile, " It's exciting right? " Hachi nodded, the nightmare was over, they could finally relax.

" What is this place? " Luffy looked down, seeing signs of a lot of people.

" This is the ballroom Luffy, it was used a lot when Neptune's father was still alive, I have a lot of memories in this place. "

" Luffy-sama, I remember it was here, when brother reached 21 years old, there was a huge birthday party here. " Shirahoshi was simply too big to sit on the fish, she was swimming by their side.

Luffy spent most of his time after the party talking to Shirahoshi. In fact, right now he was in her bed. She was laying down, with an interesting face as he recounted the tales above the sea.

Of course, she was interested in his tales. After all, she barely left the room in ten years and hadn't at all left the palace at that time.

To Luffy, she was beautiful. And in this conflict, she gained a strength of heart. She would be alright, she had the inner strength and resolve to face any obstacle. Luffy eased her heart thus they connected more and became closer.

Luffy had warned her about becoming romantically involved with him. As he liked to have regular sex with other women. But again this family surprised him. Shirahoshi was very understanding and wanted to have a relationship with him. His polygamy problem included.

.....

The Next Morning.

Zoro woke up in a large bed.

He groaned and yawned awake. He walked over to the foot of the bed and put on some clothes. He looked to the bedding, and there were some odd 11 mermaids all splattered around.

He didn't remember much of the night, other than copious amounts of booze he'd drunk, so he yawned once more and grabbed his blades, and walked out of the room, leaving the naked mermaids behind in his bed.

...

Two Days later.

" Waaah! must you truly leave, Luffy? And just when I had finally encountered my true love! can't you stay just one more week? No, one more month…? No, one more year? "

Luffy consoled her about leaving. He was sitting on her hands, wearing an expensive short and an open shirt. Sure enough, she was a mess crying over him leaving.

Luffy smiled, " Don't worry, Hoshi-chan i will return very soon. Besides most of my crewmates are here, so you can spend your time with them. "

Otohime was also quite sad that Luffy was leaving them so soon. However, she knew he will return back soon, so she didn't voice out her concerns.

Shirahoshi wasn't satisfied yet, she was still obsessed with Luffy and that obsession was growing steadily. It was Luffy who showed her all these things, Luffy was a special light in her world. She had the last word and made him promise her when they meet again, he will take her to the surface and they would visit a real forest this time. Luffy was her special person… there is no doubt there was no error in her judgment, he was her destined partner.

The ship left port with a farewell. Luffy was looking forward, his heart ripe with excitement the thought of reaching Marineford and wrecking havoc.

Only Zoro, Yamato and Luffy were present. Luffy left the rest, as they were not ready to participate in the war.
