"Makoto-kun, is this world very dangerous?" Ran walked up and asked softly.
Seeing their man patting his head and sighing, they couldn't help but feel this was a very dangerous world, making new players like Shirogane Miyuki and the Nakano Quintuplets nervous.
Even someone like Makoto found it difficult, how difficult could it be?
Don't mess around, big bro. Challenges should go from easy to hard. Why start with high difficulty?
"Not difficult. I'll protect you."
Makoto instinctively prepared to sit down, but there were no chairs around.
"Chainsaw-sama!"
Seeing this, Beam quickly ran behind Makoto and got down on all fours, allowing Makoto to sit comfortably on his back.
The others couldn't help but twitch their mouths at the sight.
'He really knows how to suck up.'
"Sycophant..."
Yu muttered.
Hearing this, Nayuta and the others rolled their eyes, 'As if you're any different.'
Makoto said: "Let's go buy a ship first."
Makoto didn't want to use his complete Susanoo to fly around… since he had come to the One Piece World, how could he not travel by ship?
Everyone patted their pockets. Sonoko took out a few black cards and said, "I usually pay by card when I go out shopping. It probably won't work in this world, right?"
Ran took out some Nishikawa Nation's banknotes with Makoto's portrait on them: "Mm... these probably won't work, right?"
Seeing this, Makoto thought for a moment and asked: "Ishigami, how far away is the nearest pirate ship?"
Yu immediately scanned the sea ahead. A few seconds later, he said: "Senpai, at eleven o'clock, about twenty kilometers away. There's a ship with a sail marked by a skull surrounded by nine snake heads."
Hearing this description, not just Makoto with his god's-eye view, but everyone else also guessed… Yu was talking about the Kuja.
Makoto stood up: "Let's go, Beam. We're going to steal that ship."
"Ha! Chainsaw-sama!"
Beam jumped three feet high with excitement… this seemed to be the first time he and Makoto were acting together.
Seeing this, Yu quickly said: "Senpai, this kind of trivial matter doesn't need you to handle personally. I can do it."
"Th-That! Commander Nishikawa, we can be of service too!" Haruno pulled her younger sister and raised her hand.
With her innate ability to read people, Haruno quickly identified the problem with this world… it was a world where the sea covered a vast area, as evident from the name [Pirate World].
That meant this was a water-type superpower user's home ground.
Her little sister would definitely shine here!
But judging from Makoto's expression earlier, this world's difficulty should be high, so it was still necessary to cling tightly to Makoto's thigh.
"No need. I'll do it."
Makoto glanced at Yu and signaled to Beam with his eyes.
As the nominal second-in-command confidant, Beam understood his boss's meaning with just a look. He instantly transformed into his shark form and jumped into the sea.
"Chainsaw-sama, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready!"
Makoto stepped onto Beam's back.
Then, Makoto raised his hand and pressed it to his heart.
Instantly, Pochita separated from Makoto's body.
"Woof?"
Pochita looked at his partner curiously.
Makoto said with a smile: "I won't need you to fight in this world yet, Pochita. Go have fun outside."
With that, Makoto gathered Chakra on the soles of his feet and rode Beam towards the Kuja Pirates' ship, the Perfume Yuda, in the distance.
"Wow! What a cute doggy!"
Nino and the others were seeing Pochita for the first time, and their maiden hearts instantly exploded as they crowded around, wanting to pet the little cutie.
"Ggrr!"
But Pochita wasn't having any of it, growling at Nino.
"How can you be like that..." Nino pouted pitifully.
Alice picked up Pochita with a smile, her face full of pride: "Only Makoto-kun's girlfriends are qualified to hold Pochita."
As she spoke, she threw a provocative glance at her cousin standing behind her.
Beside Erina stood Arata Hisako… yes, this time the transmigration had brought the little secretary along too.
Erina raised an eyebrow, walked up, and reached her hand towards Pochita.
"Hey, don't blame me if your hand gets bitten off," Alice warned.
Surprisingly, when Erina's hand touched Pochita's head, he didn't refuse.
Alice's eyes widened: "Why?!"
The main issue was that Alice's statement wasn't accurate… Pochita couldn't remember all of Makoto's women. There were too many.
He mainly decided whether to allow someone to touch him based on whether they had Makoto's scent on them. In this regard, he was just like Makima.
And Erina naturally had it… after all, she had already performed fellatio for Makoto.
Erina returned her cousin's provocative look, 'It seemed I wasn't too far behind after all.'
"Why do you think Makoto-kun insisted on going himself?" Reze asked curiously, watching the figure of their man disappear completely into the distance.
Utaha tossed her beautiful hair and said with a pout: "Need you ask? He definitely wants to see what these 'Idols of the Sea' who can drive men crazy look like."
Sonoko, Airi, and the others also rolled their eyes and nodded… although they were used to the ever-increasing number of women around Makoto, they were still a bit displeased when a new member appeared.
Moeha, who had moved from second year of middle school to third year, pursed her lips.
'Damn, why wasn't I born a year earlier? Then I'd be sixteen and could be eaten!'
But this time, Utaha and the others truly misunderstood Makoto.
He did want to see what those Kuja Pirates women looked like in real life, but purely out of curiosity, not lust—
Or rather, it wasn't his 'little head' wanting to see, but his 'big head'.
He was mainly curious about what the Supreme Great Succubus, who single-handedly initiated the 'Great Age of Suppression', actually looked like.
How did she manage to turn great pirates like Whitebeard, Roger, Shiki, and even Rocks, who dominated their respective regions, into fools?
The climate of the Grand Line was always unpredictable, even extremely harsh… one minute it could be blazing hot at forty or fifty degrees Celsius, the next it could be heavy snow.
But currently, it was still calm with gentle winds and clear skies.
So when Beam was traversing the sea at speeds exceeding 200 kilometers per hour, surrounding ships easily noticed him.
"Gloriosa-sama, something is approaching us."
On the lookout platform of the Perfume Yuda, a young girl with short black hair, around the same age as Megumi and the others, shouted through binoculars.
She was the former Amazon Lily's Empress before Hancock, Tritoma. Currently, she was a rookie pirate in the Kuja Pirates.
Gloriosa, who had been reading news related to Roger, immediately stood up and walked to the stern.
Then she saw a man standing on a giant shark, rapidly closing in on them.
"That man is standing on a shark."
"Is it his pet?"
"He's pretty handsome."
"Captain, can I capture him? Let me have some fun tonight."
"I want some too. Save some for me."
The women of the Kuja Pirates looked curious but not particularly surprised… after all, Devil Fruit abilities were varied, and being able to control animals wasn't unheard of.
These tough female pirates' attention was mostly focused on Makoto himself, speaking all sorts of lewd words.
After all, every Kuja Pirates expedition resulted in many crew members getting pregnant and returning to give birth… that should tell you about these women's modus operandi.
Arriving at the stern of the Perfume Yuda, Makoto looked at the female pirates in animal skin clothing and chuckled lightly:
"Give me your ship. And call your first mate out so I can see her."
"Tch!"
Hearing this, the female pirates on the ship were instantly disappointed, thinking he was just another sycophant of the first mate.
After all, their first mate's beauty was known across the seas, enough that even Rocks, the King of the Lower Seas, had to avoid her.
"Damn! Another one of Shakky's admirers. Clearly, I'm cuter!"
Gloriosa, who hadn't yet transformed into the short, ugly old woman of later years, snatched a bow and arrow from her subordinate, coated it with Armament Haki, and aimed at Makoto, letting the arrow fly—
The man she admired, Roger, was completely smitten with Shakky, which already pissed her off. Now there was another simp?
"Die!"
Facing the incoming arrow, Makoto raised his hand and flicked it back with his finger, startling Gloriosa and the others on the ship.
Although Gloriosa's strength wasn't top-tier in the whole sea, she was quite proficient in Haki.
Being able to so effortlessly block her arrow was impossible unless he was a great pirate with a bounty over one billion.
"They're pirates. No need to hold back."
With that, Makoto leaped into the air.
"Yes! Chainsaw-sama!"
Beam shouted, keeping his upper body in shark form while his lower body transformed into human legs, and leaped into the air.
"Zoan!?"
Seeing Beam like this, the Kuja women were startled again.
He had a mix of animal and human features… wasn't that the Beast Form of a Zoan-type user?
But the problem… he had just been swimming in the sea, right?
Wasn't he affected?!
