Luffy entered the kitchen with several women and children eating while everything seemed like chaos, but Reiju didn’t seem to care about it in her favorite place, and kept serving food on her tray around the room.

Luffy had purposely brought Elizabeth with him while the woman seemed a bit cautious, but still followed him.

He saw Hancock pointing something at Robin with a grimace while her eyes were white with rage, but Robin just replied with her typical smile, not seeming to care about the woman’s anger in front of her.

“Where are the S-Snakes?” Luffy muttered, not seeing any of the seraphim who should somehow be there. However, he simply didn’t search for them using haki and just kept walking to the table.

Uta was holding the baby in her arms while Makino also had another child of his. They were standing and seemed to refuse to take part in the chaos at the table, rocking the babies to keep them calm.

Uta glanced at Luffy and gave him a small smile, which he returned.

Besides Hancock and Robin at the table served by Reiju, all of his older children were present, and those who could speak better were shouting and laughing with one another. Their mothers were also there along with Hiyori, Shirahoshi, Lami, Nojiko, Monet, and Domino. All of the latter were pregnant, but there was also Nami, beside her sister.

Hancock started talking a bit more with Robin still making grimaces, and then heard Nami beside her. Suddenly she began to speak to the orange-haired girl.

“What are you talking about?! You're not even pregnant with his child! You shouldn’t be here to begin with! This is between the mothers of Luffy’s family!” Hancock started saying to Nami.

“I’m his wife too, I’ll get pregnant at some point, I’m just waiting for everything to be over, where I could raise a child safe from the danger of the sea!” Nami wasn’t one to listen and stay silent. She stood up and made the same face while pointing at Hancock with white eyes.

“Besides, my sister is here, I’m taking care of my nephew growing inside her, I have every right to be here. Don’t think you’re special just because you were the first to marry him and give him children. Luffy didn’t make you the boss here!” Nami exclaimed.

“How dare you?!” Hancock shouted, full of fury, as if she were about to clash with Luffy.

“At least her natural charm wasn’t affecting Nami, that would’ve been horrible...” Luffy couldn’t help but murmur as he got closer.

“What’s going on, huh?” Luffy now asked out loud, while everyone turned their eyes to him at that moment. Not that they hadn’t already sensed his presence, as some were already giving him loving smiles heading to the table.

Luffy stopped at the head of the table while his hand rested on Yamato to the right, caressing her face as the girl smiled tenderly, taking care of their daughter beside her.

“Lu-Luffy!!” Hancock was the first to react to Luffy, shifting from an angry grimace at Nami to a gaze with two hearts in her eyes as she suddenly started running toward Luffy and hugged him tightly.

“I missed you so much!” she said, pouting and beginning to kiss his entire face.

“Hey, we slept together last night.” Luffy muttered as she didn’t seem to care, continuing to hug and kiss him.

Elizabeth behind them looked at the scene with strangeness.

‘No wonder the S-Snakes were being controlled by him...’ she murmured internally, seeing how ridiculously in love Hancock looked. ‘They have the same weakness as the former Shichibukai... They’re completely in love with him... He’s their weakness, and hers too...’

She kept that thought to herself while recalling how she was defeated. She couldn’t help but frown slightly, remembering she should be careful. Elizabeth had found no pleasure in being turned to stone for months before Luffy freed her with his proposal.

“Daddy!!” They could hear Sinbad running from Vivi’s arms toward him, as Luffy gently pulled Hancock away.

“Let’s go see our kids, then we can get a little cozy.” Luffy said to Hancock before giving her a small kiss.

“Alright...” she replied, pouting at him.

Luffy stepped aside and saw his son running to him, catching him with satisfaction as he squeezed him tight. Few things in this world could truly give him more joy, and these children were one of them.

“Daddy! Big sis said she saw an angel outside!” he began, seeming anxious to go find it, while Luffy kept smiling at the boy, knowing that if he was curious, he’d really run off and no one would be able to catch him—this boy was very slippery.

“Good that you know... because I just brought her along with daddy.” Luffy said while pointing to Elizabeth, catching her off guard.

“What is she doing here?!” Hancock suddenly exploded, and Luffy could feel how her eyes were conflicted with internal emotions exploding between rage and fear.

She caught everyone by surprise, because even when arguing with Nojiko and Nami, no truly negative feeling had come from her.

Luffy sighed and took a few steps toward Elizabeth. “Take care of him for now.” Luffy simply placed Sinbad in Elizabeth’s arms, while she looked surprised.

Despite glancing cautiously at Hancock, she knew the woman hated her in some way. She had looked right past her when entering the kitchen with a gaze like she could burn someone alive. Elizabeth could imagine many of her reasons—after all, her people weren’t exactly loved around the world. People mostly hated and feared them more than loved them.

Luffy then turned his attention to Hancock. “I’ll be right back. I’m going to talk to my wife first.” Luffy said, while Luna and Aurora, who were running toward the two, stopped.

“Daddy... Mommy?” they murmured.

Luffy grabbed Hancock by the waist and threw her over his shoulder at that moment. He caught her by surprise, but the passionate humor wasn’t there this time. The negative emotions still lingered.

“I’m going to settle a few things with mommy, I’ll be back soon.” Luffy said to his daughters.

“Why don’t you keep talking with Luna while you sit at the table?” Luffy asked Elizabeth, who was torn between caring for Sinbad, Hancock’s rage, or the attention everyone was giving them.

Luffy didn’t care anymore and once again headed outside, carrying Hancock to the door and leaving through it.

“He didn’t even talk to us...” Nami pouted beside her sister as Luffy had already disappeared.

“Hey, come join us!” Yamato said to Elizabeth with a friendly smile as the blonde finally snapped out of her internal thoughts, looking at Yamato who was making room for her. Sinbad was watching her closely, which made her blush a little, and the two girls also wanted to talk to her after taking their eyes off the door where their parents had disappeared.

“Sure...” Elizabeth murmured.

“Hey, my sister said you’re an angel! Did you come from heaven to take care of us?” Aurora shouted after hearing it from Luna. Their mother didn’t like that very much.

“I...” She began cautiously while everyone paid attention to her.

Meanwhile, somewhere else, Luffy left the Black Pearl with Hancock and headed to a secluded spot in Kiri.

“I thought you didn’t want to get cozy...” he heard Hancock say from over his shoulder.

“That’s not it, I had to get you away from her, after all we need to settle some things.” Luffy said with a sigh.

“Why do you keep someone like her near us...?” Hancock murmured as soon as Luffy landed near a waterfall, with some strange animals from Wano moving away as soon as they saw him, his aura visible to their eyes, signaling he wasn’t something to mess with.

“I can understand your fear... are you okay?” Luffy asked cautiously as he placed Hancock in front of him. “You don’t have the mark anymore, and even if you did or didn’t, do you think I’d let anyone touch you or that they’d dare try anything? We have a few marked people in our territory, and even so, they don’t try to demand we hand them over...” Luffy spoke in a loving tone to his wife.

“I... I’m okay... but I can’t help being afraid... afraid for myself... for my sisters... Aurora... and Luna... Luffy, I’m so scared for our daughters, I don’t want them to have the same childhood I did... Would you blame me for thinking like that... I hate the Tenryuubito, I hate that Tenryuubito.” She started crying the next moment.

Her reaction wasn’t different from Hugo’s, who had also questioned him for keeping Elizabeth on the ship as a crew member.

“I wouldn’t say Elizabeth would hurt any child...” Luffy hugged Hancock and let her cry on his shoulder for a few minutes before finally speaking those words with a calm smile.

“How can you be so sure... I’m not going to ask you to simply throw her out when you clearly trust her... but I want her far from our daughters...” Hancock said with sadness. It was obvious she wanted Elizabeth gone—this prejudice was more than valid, considering Hancock had been a slave to them as a child.

“I won’t deprive our daughters of being with who they want, Hancock... I know it may sound harsh, but I trust Elizabeth. I know the weakness she has for children... it’s no coincidence that her copies made by the World Government were turned to stone... you don’t need to worry, the S-Snakes will continue taking great care of our children.” Luffy said, caressing the face of one of the most beautiful women in the world.

She avoided his gaze the entire time while listening to his words. Until she finally raised her eyes, looking directly into his.

“You trust her? It’s been such a short time, Luffy... only three weeks since you took her in.” Hancock looked at her husband, hoping he was absolutely certain, which wouldn’t be a big surprise since Luffy valued his children’s safety above all else.

“I believe she’s trustworthy now... I feel her sincerity. She’ll have a bounty on her head from the World Government as soon as they find out she’s alive... and it won’t be a small one, as she holds the power to destroy devil fruits...” Luffy said with confidence, pausing before continuing.

“You could say she also has a soft spot for children... We’ll be fine with her.” he concluded with a smile.

She remained silent, looking into his eyes with slight caution until she looked away and pursed her lips forward.

“I also don’t like the way she’s looking at you now...” Hancock pouted as she said it with a hint of embarrassment.

“You don’t like any woman in the world looking at me.” Luffy laughed with amusement.

“That’s right, after all, I don’t like that you have a harem when I’m your first wife. I could very well satisfy all your needs on my own...” she murmured.

“Hancock...” Luffy said, still in good spirits.

“I know... but I can’t help wanting you just for myself.” she said at last.

“I’m a man full of loves... and you’re one of them. Don’t think I have more affection for this one or that one. I don’t want to hurt the women I love—I couldn’t just send them away or reject their love... You could say I’m a big scoundrel... but I want to love them all.” Luffy said in a calmer tone.

“You are a big scoundrel...” she murmured.

“And yet you love me...” She gave another smile.

“I can’t help it...” she said. Luffy laughed before kissing her, and she returned the kiss. They hugged in silence for a few minutes. Luffy decided to break it.

“How about you start trusting Elizabeth—not liking her, that’s not necessary... But don’t insult her, or make our daughters avoid her. Trust me, Hancock. I’ve seen her soul is clean, and she has no ties left to Mary Geoise. I believe in her.” he said in the end.

“Alright...” Hancock murmured.

Luffy nodded and turned his attention to the waterfall before them.

“You know... I remember the lake where we made love for the first time. You hated me back then.” He laughed as he said it, while Hancock also looked back at the waterfall.

“You left me naked when we arrived on that island. I thought you wanted to use me... I thought you were like any other man...” she murmured, looking somewhat guilty—after all, today she loved Luffy and what he had given her more than her own life.

“You’re not wrong, your power would’ve turned me to stone. I had a strong desire for you...” Luffy said. He had to dodge the attacks from the Love-Love Fruit... He wasn’t as thick-headed as the original Luffy—he had desired Hancock from the moment he saw her, even though he always kept his mind clear and didn’t act like a love-struck fool.

Hancock looked at him a bit surprised. Luffy had never admitted he wasn’t immune to her charm.

“What I did wasn’t nice, but I wanted to show that I could help you back then... I already knew about the mark and knew you wouldn’t easily accept my approach, so I made it clear by doing that that we were bound. I wanted your alliance, but you didn’t leave the island—you had locked your arm directly onto the shackle I used for training...” he said.

“It was the best thing I ever did.” Hancock didn’t deny it, and Luffy kissed her.

“I agree now...” he laughed. “I was thinking... You want to grow our family... I know you only have girls, but I want a few more daughters... what do you think?” Luffy said.

“You want another child?” she asked, surprised.

“Wouldn’t we have more?” Luffy laughed.

“I thought we were fine with just Aurora and Luna...” Hancock murmured.

“Do you want to have more daughters?” Luffy asked with a more serious look. She had to agree to it.

“Of course, Luffy! I’d love to have lots of children with you!” she exclaimed, hugging him.

“Then let’s have them... but we can’t spend more than 30 hours having sex again.” he laughed.

“Alright... but we could start with a quickie, what do you think?” she asked, beginning to open her dress right there.

“I think we can spare a few minutes here...” Luffy couldn’t help but say with desire as he watched her body being revealed to him, while he picked her up, removing his clothes and carrying her into the water.
