NOVEL NEXT Chapter 161: Cosa Nostra I
Our little -not one nor two but three weeks- honeymoon came to an end because Stussy had to leave in haste and Robin was also worried about Alabasta. She was supposed to stay for two days maximum… she stayed for three weeks as a result the government and I too lost millions of Bellies. I wouldn't mind if it could get her some respite, but the government did care about their money.
With all our private matters sorted, it was time for business, she had a vessel of her own docked at Rusukaina with a list of orders and goods to be shipped. Dials, engines, batteries, and the most important product for me...
"Three thousand lightning rods?" I couldn't help but smile at the big number that was ordered this time around. Stussy checked the stuff out of her list as I moved everything with my psychokinesis into her ship.
"Yes, this is the biggest order we have received so far. It seems the world government has decided to increase their measures against you. Every kingdom affiliated with the world government is obtaining a batch of these… also, the key merchant spots for Marie Geoise's supplements are obtaining extra security. The majority of the budget has switched places from the marine and into national security".
"Gion won't like that".
"I already spoke to her and she does indeed not like it. But there is nothing we can do, that's part of our plan~" She giggled and a few minutes later everything was in her vessel.
I looked around and noticed that she was on her own. Usually, she'd have her entourage... but because she stayed more than she had to, they had already departed on her orders.
"You should get an assistant. I don't want you overworking yourself. Are you sure you can sail on your own?"
"This is nothing, master. Taking on your big thing every day for the past three weeks was a lot more difficult~".
"... you didn't have to say that" I blushed at her vulgarity, it didn't seem to be an issue for her though as her palm started to rub me down there, involuntarily or not, I don't know.
"Too much is too much".
She coughed a bit in grief after I slapped her hand aside
"Too much is never enough~ but anyway, I'm happy that you're satisfied with the shipment this time. If orders continue like this, in a few years this world will be yours, master" Instead of outright fondling me, she opted for a hug which I returned.
"I never said I wanted to conquer the world".
"But you could if you wanted" She whispered by my ears temptingly, "They're so enthusiastic, purchasing Lightning Rods just so they can stop the Lightning God's retaliation were it to come for them. Those corrupt Kingdoms, isn't it amusing?~"
"Purchasing the lightning rods I've created to stop ME from ever invading or causing damage, hilarious indeed".
"They don't know it is you that's selling it, master. Also, it is such a pity that those lightning rods are transformers that transform electric energy into kinetic energy~"
"A pity indeed~"
After sharing a diabolical laugh, Stussy kissed me one last time, sticking her tongue inside as far as it could go and jumping on me unrestrained for a long makeout session. Once she was satisfied, she sailed.
She's my slave… as per her request but I'm thankful that after doing the deed, she has gotten a lot bolder. Although I go along with her play, I don't like 'owning' a slave... the same principle I'll apply to Sugar and Monet. Once they've gained enough merits to be forgiven, I'll allow them some freedom, but they will still be mine until they die.
I watched her go and I don't know when we're going to meet next but I promised to visit to give her a huge and thick load of love every so often, perhaps take her on a few dates and let her know that being my lover is way better than being my slave.
With her sorted, now I have to send off my little snakes.

Once I dropped Stussy at the docks I returned to our palace, the first thing that greeted me was my mom reading her newspapers as always, but something wasn't right, I heard the noise of screeching pigs ready for slaughter coming from upstairs.
Hawkeye noticed my confused gaze and pointed her finger upwards.
"Go sort them out".
I headed upstairs to see what was happening and then I saw it. Hancock begging for her life, and that sir or miss, doesn't happen often.
"Mom, please don't do this to me!".
"Stop playing the victim! I have been doing your work all this time, I'm not having it anymore! Three weeks of paperwork, do you think I'll do it? You're out of your mind!"
"At least help me!".
"No! You have two vice chiefs there to help you... right?~" The elder of Amazon Lily looked at both her lovely giantesses she had as daughters, both of whom pointed at themselves in confusion.
"Me?" (Sandersonia & Marigold)
"You!"
"No way! Little brother, save us!"
"Veyron, there is no way I can sit for days in front of a desk!".
"Darling!".
Sandersonia, Marigold and Hancock came to me since their mother was merciless, they begged like never before amidst tears, all I could do was give the three of them a kiss on their foreheads which briefly subsided their cries, alas.
"You can do it girls, I trust you~"
"..."
Their heartbroken expressions were all I saw before they were ruthlessly pulled away by Primrose who kissed me with the brightest of smiles after getting my permission.
"Thanks, Baby~ I'll make sure that our territories are properly managed".
"I'm sure you will..."
"Let's go girls... we- no, you have work to do~"
Without even sparing me another word she put her three daughters in the nearest flying vessel heading to Amazon Lily. She's a workaholic and she's going to turn them into that too. I don't have to worry about them... once they're stressed I'll just go and relieve that stress in ways only I can.
...
"Are they gone?"
"That's right, albeit reluctantly".
I lifted her and sat down on her chair, placing her on my lap. I kissed her neck a few times and wrapped my arms around her waist. She didn't complain and just continued reading, getting comfortable.
"Anything interesting on the news? It always leaves me awed how you can read nonstop".
"If I don't read newspapers, I'd be thinking about you all day".
"..."
She just took a sip after saying that, like it was the most casual thing in the world.
"The girls are off and you have to go to Alabasta to drop Robin off, it is time I go on my way" She stood up from the confused me and walked to the side before picking up Yoru and her coat, placing the newspapers that she was just reading, in her jacket.
"Mom?"
Lastly, she picked up her hat and fixed it for me, "I already spoke to Robin, she knows what to do. I'll see you tonight~".
She dropped a delicious kiss on my lips and walked away towards the docks, leaving me astounded and expectant... I wonder what she's going to do~
