29 Chapter 28

We decided to take Xander with us for now and prepared to leave for Alabasta. Unfortunately, we have to reach it the traditional route, since both Eternal Poses pointing towards it were damaged in the fights. Thankfully our Log Pose had already recorded the magnetic field of the island, and we were ready to leave.

Xander seemed like a nice guy from what he has shown so far, but the only thing that we learned is that he was from the first part of the Grand Line, Paradise. He didn't want to comment on why he is after Crocodile though.

Igaram will be coming along as well since he has no other way of going back to Alabasta, and there is no point in him pretending to be Vivi.

Before departing, Xander wanted to have a spar with me to see how strong I was, and I was happy to comply.

We got into position, and Nami gave us the signal to start the fight. Before he could react, I appeared behind him using Soru and landed a kick on him. Xander went flying and spurted out blood.

"I didn't even see you move. I guess your bounty wasn't just for show." Xander turned into his iron form and started shooting me with various weapons he created.

I tried doing the same thing again and appeared behind him, but this time my kick went through his body. Initially, I thought he only had a solid form, but he seems to have a liquid form as well. After his transformation, no matter how I hit him, I wasn't able to deal any damage to him, due to him being a Logia user.

Xander wasn't strong physically himself, but when he was using his solid form, he packed quite the punch, although he was slow and couldn't hit me. His creativity though is on a whole different level.

Seeing he wasn't able to hit me with his projectiles, he increased the difficulty by creating human-like iron constructs and controlled them to attack me. Xander didn't stop shooting his iron weapons at me, but even the iron humans he made started firing projectiles. He was trying to swarm me and was having some success in doing so.

I was about to create a couple of clones to make it easier for me but decided against it. Recently I've been trying to feel when someone is attacking me, rather than sensing the attack, and Xander was the perfect opponent to practice just that.

Focusing on dodging his attacks, I was slowly starting to see them happen rather than sensing them. It almost seemed like I was watching myself from a third person perspective. I was beginning to get the hang of it until I felt danger from above.

Looking up, I saw a large iron ball floating the air, and it started shooting projectiles at me as well. After he increased the difficulty yet again, it felt like everything started moving in slow motion for me. I was able to see all the projectiles coming my way, and perceive exactly where they are going to hit.

I basked in the feeling for a minute or so while dodging all of his attacks. Deciding it's time to end this fight, I transformed into my hybrid form and created two clones to distract Xander for a moment. While they were taking his attention, I created a big stone box out of another of my hairs and used Soru to get behind Xander. Slamming the box on top of him, I was able to capture him underneath it.

"Can you hear me in there? I think that that's enough fighting for now." I knocked on top of the box and told Xander.

"I agree with you." I heard him from inside and dispelled the stone box.

"That was a great fight! This is my first time going against a Logia user, and it was a great experience for the future," I clasped his hand after our confrontation.

"It was! Now I'm sure we would be able to deal with Crocodile. I have to admit you are the first person to hit my body before I managed to turn into one of my Logia forms." Xander told me with a smile and looked happy after our fight.

I have to say Logia Devil Fruit users are annoying, but not as invulnerable as I believed. Xander also had two different forms, a liquid, and a solid one. His solid form wasn't unbreakable, but he was still able to regenerate from my hits. His liquid one didn't have many attacking capabilities but was a more versatile one.

Xander physical capabilities weren't something special as and he wasn't much of a close-range fighter, but looked more like a control type, with his ability to create so many things with his Devil Fruit.

Nonetheless, he was a great sparring partner, and I believe I finally managed to unlock my Observation Haki in our fight.

After having our spar with Xander, we prepared to leave Cacti Island.

There was a fog surrounding the island, but it was the perfect opportunity for Nami to test out her Devil Fruit on a larger scale. The Gust-Gust fruit gave her the ability to control and generate winds. Nami could now sense air currents to an even higher degree than before and showed control over the air as well. From everyone on the crew, she was the best fit for the Devil Fruit.

Spinning her staff, while slowly moving in a circle, winds started to generate around us. It took her a moment, but she was able to create a gust strong enough to clear the fog around us. Nami has had a lot of fun with the Devil Fruit, and she is very skillful at using, despite having it for such a short time.

She can generate small winds from under her and push herself in the air. Her control in the air isn't perfect, and she isn't that fast right now, but with practice that could be improved.

Nami can also create objects out of the air around her, shaping them in various forms, or remove the oxygen from a target area close to her. The further away from her, the harder it is for her to control winds or air, with her maximum limit being thirty meters currently.

With practice, I believe she would be able to create devasting hurricanes in the future, but right now, she doesn't seem to have the control to pull it off.

I was hoping to get to meet Robin here, but no one has boarded our ship, or at least I haven't heard someone do so. I wanted to meet her here and possibly make her join my crew right now. I'm just as interested in the Void Century as her, and I wanted to know what happened back then.

Nevertheless, we did get a new crew member in Miss Valentine and a new companion in Xander.

Miss Valentine formally introduced herself as Mikita. She had baked some sweets for the crew earlier and is currently chatting with Johnny.

Mikita had requested to use the kitchen and Sanji was more than happy to have a female with him there. Unfortunately, she was not interested in him and hit it off with Johnny instead. I was starting to feel bad for Sanji and how unlucky he is with females, poor guy.

After eating my share of sweets, I decided to practice my Observation Haki. Something that I noticed is that my clones were unable to use it, but at least they were able to help me practice it by attacking me in unpredictable ways.

Using Observation Haki does put a small mental strain on me, but it wasn't enough to bother me so far. I have been using it for the past hour since we departed from Cacti Island and it was still bearable for me. I've also found out that using Observation Haki in my hybrid form is far easier for me, and almost has no strain at all.

Using it to observe the world around me was a novel feeling. Everything had a certain aura around it, especially living beings. Each person on the board has a unique aura around them, and I made sure to remember all of them.

It was getting dark, and most of the crew had already gone to their rooms, while I was still practicing on the main deck. I felt Aisha walking out of the Captains Room and make her way towards me. Turning around I saw her in a gorgeous black dress, ending right above her knees.

"Luffy, wo-wo-would you like to go on a date with me. I-I-I know we don't have that much time to go somewhere else, but I have prepared you something to eat in the kitchen." Aisha was looking at the ground while pushing her index fingers against each other.

"I would be happy to go on a date with you." I brought her in for a passionate kiss, and since there was no one around, she wasn't embarrassed like usual.

Aisha grabbed my hand and led me to the kitchen. There was food already served on the table, with a few candles burning as a background. We sat down and started our date.

"Wow, the food is amazing!" It was really good, and I had to compliment her. Not only was the food great, but I also felt the emotions she put in while making it for me. Once Aisha heard my praise, it felt like the room got brighter from the smile she had on her face.

After eating the food, we spent some time just the two of us together while enjoying our company. At some point, Aisha grabbed my hand and led me back to the Captain's Room.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Once we entered inside, I could barely hold myself looking at how the dress was hugging her amazing body.

The moment we closed the door, I grabbed her and carried her to the bed. I removed her black dress carefully not to tear it apart and was met with the black lingerie she was wearing. We started kissing, and her small tongue was dancing around mine, making my body tingle.

She unbuttoned and removed my vest, while I removed her bra. Aisha might have been shorter than Nami, but her tits were just as big and were incredibly soft, yet firm.

"Ahh." She moaned when I started massaging and playing with them. I started sucking on her tits, which caused her to moan even more and made me even hornier. I felt that her panties were already wet and I was about to remove them, but she stopped me and swapped positions with me.

"I want to make you happy tonight," Aisha said seductively and started removing my pants. She held my erect penis with her hand and slowly started to move it up and down. Her soft hands touching it felt incredible, but when she put in her mouth, it felt like I was in heaven. Aisha started bobbing her head on my penis while making sure to lick it at the same time. I couldn't control myself, and in just a few minutes, I finished in her mouth.

"That tasted great." Aisha swallowed it all down and had a hungry look on her face.

"Stay." I was about to swap our positions, but she held me down. She slowly removed her panties and placed my penis between her thighs, while gently grinding her pussy on it. Moments later she positioned herself better and put my penis inside of her. Aisha had an extremely tight pussy, but that made it even better. My penis was squeezed inside of her, and I felt like I could already cum again.

Aisha was riding me, and her tits were jiggling while doing so. Seeing this, I couldn't hold myself anymore and swapped our positions. I started ravaging her tight pussy as fast I could while sucking on her tits.

"YES, YES just like that! Don't stop!" Aisha screamed out at me, and I felt her hot liquids on my penis.

"Please continue. I want more!" She pushed me away and got up on all fours, with her butt sticking out. I couldn't refuse and continued pounding her pussy as hard I could.

"I feel like I'm gonna cum again," I told Aisha, and she immediately turned around and started sucking my penis again with a hungry look on her face. Pushing her head even further and feeling my penis going down her throat, I finished once again.

Both of us being Zoan users gave us a lot of stamina, and we continued doing it after that for four more times before Aisha passed out in my arms.
