[144] Preparations for Leave

Chapter 144: Preparations for Leave

—

[~First Part of the Chapter is Smut]

After talking things through, Hashirama decided it would be best for them to cool off. Couple fights are best to end with a love-making session. So once they returned to their residence, instead of meeting the others first, he took her to the bathroom.

The two of them entered the room and saw the large bathtub filled with warm water. Hashirama couldn't resist the temptation and quickly undressed her, while she took off his clothes.

She wrapped herself with a towel, knowing too well that too would join the clothes soon after, Vivi stepped into the tub first, feeling the warm water enveloping her body as she sank into it. "Join me…"

Hashirama followed suit, his massive body filling up most of the space in the bathtub.

"Let me clean you up, as promised," He pulled her close to him and started kissing her passionately. His rough hands roamed over her body, making her moan and shiver with excitement.

They spent ten minutes kissing, cleaning every inch of their mouths while their hands roamed over each other's skin. Vivi liked how gentle he was when he touched her, but she also craved his dominance.

"S-stop being so gentle," She gasped out a demand, feeling him pause. I'm not a glass cannon, be rough with me… please."

He laughed behind her ears and granted her wish. His hand slapped the side of her ass, his fingers pinching her nipples, and his teeth biting down on her lip. Vivi could feel herself getting wetter by the minute as he ran his hands over her breasts and stomach.

Hashirama couldn't resist any longer. He pushed her up a little, making her pussy visible, and then slammed himself inside. He started pounding into her from behind, making her moan loudly as she felt him filling her up completely.

"Ooh, Shirara~" She enjoyed how rough he was being with her, it made her feel alive and loved.

For the next few hours, the two of them fucked in the massive royal bath, indulging themselves in rough sex. They switched positions multiple times, trying out different angles and depths. Vivi loved every second of it, feeling like she was his toy for him to play with however he pleased. Perhaps because she was used to getting beaten by him during training, but she liked it more when he did her like this instead of fucking her like a gentle lover.

After they were both satisfied, Hashirama pulled out of her and wrapped his arms around her. He kissed her forehead and whispered softly into her ear, "I am sorry about earlier, I didn't mean to label you as a subordinate."

Vivi smiled up at him, feeling content with how things had turned out. “I know. I am sorry too, for acting up earlier," she replied before snuggling closer to him in the warm water.

They stayed like that for a while longer, until the sun rose high in the sky, and they decided it was time to leave.

Hashirama and Vivi dressed up and went to meet the rest of the crew. The three girls and one duck were gathered in the living room, watching TV. Dressrosa had quite a good list of TV series, being the country of entertainment.

The three girls sat on a large couch and watched the TV on the wall, while Karoo sat on the floor in front of them.

"Hi, girls," Hashirama waved his hand as they walked in, and Vivi rushed to Karoo to pat her head. Hashirama did the same, "Hey, Karoo. How're you?"

Karoo was still a little irritated at him for cheating on her mother, but she didn't reject the pat. The duck gave in as her two parents ruffled her head, while the other girls in the room focused on Hashirama.

"Welcome back, Vivi. And dang, who did you bring with you? It's a celebrity." said Mikita jokingly, turning her head from the TV to take a look at his face. She looked salty, wearing a cute frown. "How was your day? Enjoyed your popularity?"

"There's nothing to enjoy, I am used to this sort of thing, you know? I am the savior of another country, too." He said and walked to her; he lifted her up and sat down on her seat, while placing her butt on his lap, her back against his chest. "How was your day, my swift girl? I saw how you defeated that Machvise guy, good job."

"Yeah," Mikita smiled, nudging into my hug. "He had a weight advantage, but I had speed. Gosh, if you never taught me how to enhance my speed like this, things would have been bad."

"You are welcome," he kissed her ear and had his arms wrapped around her waist. She nodded and closed her eyes, the back of her head resting on his chest. He was glad this girl was much more open-minded than his little princess; she didn't have much to complain about.

"How about you, Nami?" Hashirama put a hand on Nami's thighs. She was sitting right beside him, while Robin was on the other side. "You took out Gladius, I heard, and then some more. The poison is gone, yeah?"

"...Yeah," Nami's eyes looked down at his hand on her thigh and then shot to look at Vivi's back, as the girl talked to her pet. She hesitated and then gently pushed his hand away. "Let's not do that…"

She was more worried about Vivi than she was about cheating with him. How odd. If he worked around the situation a little, then he might be able to pin her down soon.

Nami wasn't his immediate target, though. It was the other girl on the couch, Robin, who was reading her book.

Hashirama didn't look at her, nor did he talk to her. He had greeted everyone but Robin. The others didn’t really notice that, but Robin did. Though she didn’t think much of it, Hashirama might have just forgotten. Later, she’d realize that no, he hadn’t forgotten, he had intentionally left her out, after he continued ignoring her.

Nico Robin had teased him a day ago, by calling him out in front of Viola. Telling him on her, and pushing him towards danger. It may have been funny from her perspective, but really, it was annoying to him. Though yes, it wasn't annoying enough to draw a dramatic reaction from him that would make him ignore her, but he was going to pretend like it was. He had to play smart to win her over, so he was going to act. He's going to help her realize over the next few days that— no, even as a joke, her "betraying" him again will not be tolerated.

"So when will we leave?" Nami cleared her throat and asked. "Or are we planning to spend a bit more here?"

"Good question," Hashirama answered her. "If you girls have nothing else to do, we are going to leave tonight."

"Huh?"

"Wait, really?"

Vivi and Mikita asked simultaneously, and Robin turned to look at me.

"Yeah, there isn't any reason to stay here since there's a high chance that an admiral, or worse, Garp might come here. So we'll have to leave right away." He explained. "If you guys are all right with it, of course."

"It's fine, I guess," Robin replied. "Safety is of higher priority than enjoying a trip in this foreign land."

"She's right," Nami nodded.

"By the way, who will be joining us this time? Your sister, and anyone else?" Mikita asked after that, looking curious.

The others also looked curious, even Karoo looked interested. Naturally, a new member of the crew was an important thing.

"Yeah. Tsunade will join, and so will that redhead, Marianne. She's my cousin, by the way." He dropped the news as the girls paused. "Other than that, I'm also launching a Senju Grand Fleet consisting of pirates of many kinds. Mainly, the Happo Navy, the crew of that old man Chinjao."

"Oh," the girls looked surprised by that one. "A Grand Fleet… man, I feel like a big pirate now, and I don't even have a bounty on my head."

"I am sure all of us will soon," Vivi said. "Maybe even Robin. I saw some Marines looking at her suspiciously before they left. Maybe they noticed something?"

"..."

"Bounty is a good thing, look forward to it. Power is the real thing that matters in this world, but in general, Bounty is great for dealing with people without any need for violence. If we have a super high bounty, no-named pirates would run instead of wasting our time." Hashirama explained.

That made sense to the girls, even if a few of them, especially Nami and Robin, were unsure about becoming wanted. They knew this would come to be one day, and here it was.

"By the way," Mikita, from his lap, said. "You said your sister and cousin will be joining us… but what about your two new love birds? The princesses, I mean."

The room fell silent at that. Vivi looked away from the discussion and focused on parting Karoo, pretending to not care, while the other girls stared at him.

Hashirama sighed. "They probably won't join us even if I ask. Their country is in shambles, as you saw, they need to stay here to fix it. And even if they do want to come, I personally think it's better for them to stay here and fix stuff. Maybe a few months later when the country is alright, I might bring them in if they want, but otherwise no, they would be staying here."

The girls nodded, and Vivi looked slightly happy. Even if she did accept this situation, she would still rather be his only princess, it seemed. Though Hashirama was pretty sure she wouldn't project any denial when the time for them to join him would come.

"Alright then," Hashirama kissed Mikita on her neck, turning her head to him and placing one kiss on her lip too, and got up. "I'll finish some last-minute preparations. You girls do some shopping for supplies and then pack your bags. It's noon now, we'll be leaving at night. Not much time left."

After ruffling Karoo's hair one more time, Hashirama left the house to go meet with Viola and Rebecca, to bid them goodbye. It'd be months before they see each other again, after all.
