9 Chapter 9: Shell Island

Shell Island a small island in the East Blue Sea. The island is covered in power plant-shaped towers that shoot cannons. The island is also home to a large population of seashells, which is where the island gets its name.

The main town of the Island is called "Shell Town". It has a population of around 1,000 and its home to just a few shops, a bar, and a restaurant.

Alvida had just disbanded her crew causing them to shed tears but they still wished her the best of luck and gave Ben the stink eye for stealing their Captain.

Ben smiled back. Luffy laughed.

"Okay Luffy, let's head to get your cremate," Ben said. Luffy had stormed off without Ben. 

"Why are you helping him so much Captain?" Alvida asked. 

Ben replied, "Do you know about the Will of D?"

Alvida shook her head. 

Ben followed up and said, "Neither do I for sure but he will reach great heights. We both will turn the world upside down."

Alvida was not sure what he meant by that but knew she would follow her lover everywhere until the very end. 

"Let's go," Ben said. 

Ben and Alivda were walking through the town, looking at the town stores and merchants. It was a small town and not much there. He remembered Koby should also be with Alvida and Luffy in their first encounter.

"Alvida, did you see a small marine boy with purple hair on your ship?" Ben asked.

"No, my love, why?" Alvida replied. This was strange. Koby should have been here, I wonder where he was.

 "Nothing, let's go to the bar there," Ben pointed to. 

Ben and Alvida entered the bar. The bar in Shells Town is a small, dingy establishment with a few tables and chairs. They head to the counter and are greeted by a woman. 

"Hello, what can I get you?" asked the women. 

 "2 beers for me and my love," Alvida replied.

The bartender gave the two beers. Ben and Alvida walked to a table in the corner and sat down. Ben could see Alvida was nervous. 

"I have been noticing you saying love and lover around me." Ben said.

Alvida blushed and replied, "I can stop if you want."

Ben smiled and said "Dont, I don't mind but can I ask why? You don't know anything about me and yet you are following me around, leaving everything behind."

Alvida thinks for a moment and says, "The first time I saw you I felt my heart skip a beat. I wanted to be with you. It was love at first sight. When you challenged me to a fight, I couldn't fight you, I want to be with you at whatever the cost. I love you." 

Ben knew it was on those lines, however hearing that from her, still surprised him. 

He smiled and replied, " I am speechless, you are a very beautiful woman. The more I know about you, the more we are together. I will start to fall for you. I already am."

Alvida, heart started to beat faster. She got up and leaned toward Ben. Her face got closer and closer until finally her lips met his lips. Alvida's heart was going crazy at the touch of her lips with his. 

The kiss was soft and tender, and it lasted for a few moments. Alvida pulled away, they were both smiling.

Ben was shocked to some extent to see how bold Alvida was. Her red lips were on his. He smiled and saw the beautiful blushing. He thought it was cute. 

"Im…" Alvida was about to say until Ben leaned in and gave her a quick kiss on her lips and then put his finger on her mouth. 

"Don`t," Ben said with a smile. 

Alvida`s heart was pumping fast. Her brain was melting. Her lower parts were wet. She was going to need new panties after this. 

"Let's go and see where Luffy is," said Ben. 

Alvida nodded. She paid for their drinks. Ben followed her to the bar. He then asked the lady, "Is Captain Morgan still around?"

The lady and the entire bar were shocked and had a fearful look in their eyes.

Ben knew the answer. He left the bar and Alvida followed him.
