After leaving the stage, Luffy, worried that Hancock was still waiting, saw the crowd below still cooking in large pots, semen and vaginal fluids flying everywhere. But he was too anxious to appreciate the sights and flew towards the outer edge of the plaza at his fastest speed. In the blink of an eye, he reached the outer edge, where only Caesar stood, along with a few empty chairs and some leftover food. Nothing else was there.
Luffy: Huh? Caesar, why are you the only one here? Where's Hancock?
Caesar: Whoosh… Because you've been gone for too long, Empress Boa Hancock was getting impatient, so she sent the three of us to find you. Sigh… How are we supposed to find you with so many people and so many clones?
"I searched for ages but couldn't find her, so I came back to check. Maybe Iva and Mr. 2 have already found her and come back. I just got here myself and found this place deserted. I wonder where the Empress went. Did she get tired of waiting and go home, or was she... *whoosh*...
Luffy, before he could finish, channeled his Haki and punched Caesar so hard his head was turned into a pig's head, roaring, "Was she...what?!"
"My wife loves me deeply, she could never have a relationship with another man; it's all your fault! What kind of powerful aphrodisiac did you use? Did you think my wedding was a massacre?"
"You'd better pray to God that Hancock is alright, or I'll kill you!"
Caesar: "Waaaaah... I know I was wrong, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... The Empress will be alright, shall we go check on the new house on the mountaintop?"
Perhaps she's already home.
Luffy shouted anxiously: "Hancock, my darling, my wife, my sweetheart...where are you...?"
Just then, Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea, heard the calls and rushed over, saying: "Luffy, Luffy...I'm so glad I found you! Quick!"
"Hurry and help Princess Shirahoshi, her condition is bad!"
Luffy: "Princess Shirahoshi? What's wrong with her?"
Jinbe: "She feels feverish all over, and even diving into the deep sea can't calm the burning sensation. She keeps calling your name, telling you to come see her quickly. I don't know if she's been poisoned?"
Luffy: "Hmm...if it's poisoning, I can ask Chopper or Law. I'm not a doctor, what could I do if I went?"
Jinbe: "Sigh...do you remember the 'Battle of Ryugu Castle'?"
Princess Shirahoshi relied heavily on you back then, seeing you as her pillar of support. Even after you defeated Heidi and saved Ryugu Castle, years later, Princess Shirahoshi's tendency to cry hasn't changed; she still thinks of you first whenever she faces trouble. I don't know what you could do there, but at least you could put her mind at ease.
Caesar: Eh…uh…can I interrupt?
I think I know the reason, but you can't hit me when I tell you, okay?
Luffy, Jinbe: Tell us quickly!
Caesar: Swoosh…I think she's been poisoned by a double dose of powerful aphrodisiacs. There's no antidote; all she needs to do is find a man…Waaah…didn't you say you wouldn't hit me?
Why are you two hitting me together?
Jinbe: Damn it, you bastard! So it was you who orchestrated the mess of the huge pot of food! If I hadn't gone back to the sea on business after the wedding and missed the banquet, and if I hadn't noticed the air smelled strange when I returned and immediately held my breath, I probably would have fallen for your trick too. Would I not have beaten you up?
What do we do now?
Is there an antidote?
Caesar, rubbing the bump on his head, said, "Swoosh... I'm really fine. Just having sex with a man and releasing the pent-up desire will be enough. If I don't... maybe it'll be fine after the drug wears off at dawn, but the merfolk's body structure is different from humans, so I can't guarantee it'll be completely okay..."
Jinbe wanted to punch Caesar again, but Luffy stopped him, saying, "Forget it... hitting him won't do any good. Jinbe, Princess Shirahoshi is as tall as a mountain; I can't help her with that. You should go find a merfolk as 'big' as her or a giant."
Jinbe: "The giants left with me, and I even saw them off. Now we can't catch them. There aren't any merfolk that big. I think you should go comfort her; at least you can be her emotional support."
Luffy: "But... I..." "We still need to find Hancock. She's missing, and I'm very worried."
Jinbe: "Alright, Caesar and I will go look for her together. We'll explain things to you once we find her. You go and comfort Princess Shirahoshi, at least tell her not to be nervous."
Luffy: "Ugh... How did things turn out like this? Okay, let's split up..."
Luffy stretched out his arm, grabbed a tree branch, and quickly reached the large pool in the center of the plaza. He saw Shirahoshi writhing in agony, her massive body and fishtail splashing water like a tsunami. Men and women around the pool scattered in panic.
Shirahoshi: "Aaaaah! My whole body feels like it's on fire, and my chest feels so tight... What should I do... Waaah... Am I going to die... Luffy, Luffy... Waaah... Come save me..."
Luffy: "Shirahoshi, why are you still such a crybaby after all these years?" "What's wrong?"
Shirahoshi, overjoyed to see Luffy, grabbed him, crying, "Waaaaah... Luffy, you're finally here! I... I feel so awful, like I'm on fire! Am I going to die? Waaaaah..."
Luffy quickly shook his head: "No, no... You won't die! You've just been mildly poisoned. You'll be fine by dawn. Quick... let go... you're squeezing me to death..."
Shirahoshi: "Waaaah... Poison? What poison? Who did this? Will I really be fine by dawn?"
Luffy: "Wh... what poison? Who did this?... Eh... There are so many people here. If I say 'someone,' they'll kill me. What should I do?"
"I've got it! Shirahoshi, turn right later, to the other side of the island, around the corner?"
"That's a primeval forest, so there's no one there. I'll chat with you, tell you what kind of poison you've been given, and then tell you about my adventures over the past few years—it'll be very interesting! Because you have to swim across the pool connecting to the sea, I can't go directly with you; I have to go by land. Don't worry, you'll be fine in a little while."
Shirahoshi: "Waaah... um... hehe... okay, I'll wait for you at the corner of the island."
After Shirahoshi left, Luffy immediately rushed towards the corner of the island from the land...
--------------------
On the other side of Women's Island, by the primeval forest beach, Shirahoshi chose a small cliff by the sea to wait for him. Her lower body was submerged in the sea, and her upper body leaned against the cliff. If her proportions were shrunk to human size, she would be the epitome of perfection. When Luffy arrived, he was at about chest height. This way, the two could talk more easily.
The naturally optimistic Luffy first told her about the "powerful aphrodisiac," then launched into a long and detailed account of his adventures: Enies Lobby, Sky Island, Impel Down, the Marineford War, Whole Cake Island… and how he met the Pirate Empress, fell in love, and got married… Shirahoshi listened with rapt attention to all sorts of extraordinary adventures and love stories. Shirahoshi also shared incredible tales from the sea. The two, one big and one small, chatted and laughed, but the burning sensation didn't subside despite their distraction; instead, it intensified. As time passed, Shirahoshi's body turned red.
Shirahoshi: Uh… ugh… Luffy… my body still feels like it's on fire, especially down there, it feels so itchy, what should I do…?
Luffy sighed, stood up, and took off his clothes, saying: Hey… why is it still burning?
Sigh… I can't help it, Shirahoshi, would you like to make love to me?
Shirahoshi blushed even more upon seeing Luffy's naked body, and stammered, "Oh...oh dear...why did you suddenly take off all your clothes...and...and ask me that...Actually, I've liked you for a long time, and I'm willing to 'offer myself,' but you're human and I'm a mermaid, and our 'sizes' are so different, there's nothing I can do..."
Luffy chuckled, using Gear 3 to enlarge his arms and reach near Shirahoshi's buttocks to stroke them. He felt the fish scales around her buttocks were wet and slippery, with a peculiar texture, but he couldn't find her vulva anywhere.
Luffy: "Uh...hehe...Shirahoshi, I want to touch your vulva, but where can I find it?" Shirahoshi blushed and said, "Ugh...you're so annoying! Who asks so directly? It's...it's...here..."
Shirahoshi, still blushing, surfaced from the water. Luffy saw a small fish scale near the center of her buttocks, lifted up like a skirt, revealing a pinkish vulva and anus. Luffy craned his neck to look, and touched the vulva with his giant fingers, saying, "Wow...I really couldn't find it if you didn't show it. It looks almost like a human vulva, but it's completely smooth with no pubic hair, and the labia look like fish fins. The vulva smells like the sea, it's so unique...but why is your private part hidden under a fish scale?"
Shirahoshi said shyly: Well… back then, because there were so many strange things in the sea, like fish, coral reefs, human trash, shipwrecks, etc… so fish scales grew "over there" for protection. Every fish has them. You're probably the first human to know this secret, ahhh… how did you suddenly "drill" into my pussy…?
Luffy, inside my pussy: Haha… ever since I first had sex with Hancock, and then with many other women, I've discovered that every woman's pussy is different in structure and smell. Now that I have such a big pussy in front of me, how could I not "come in and take a look"?
Shirahoshi: Ee… ugh… you're treating my pussy like a "tourist attraction"?
"Someone's moving inside my pussy, this feeling is so strange..."
Luffy: "Hmm... It's pitch black inside, I can't see anything, and it's so slippery all around, what should I do... I've got it, I'll focus my Haki on my eyes and then I can see."
