Chapter 122: Hina's Confusion

“Damn it, Tashigi clearly resigned from the Marine, why say she’s a Marine traitor!”

Nami said, speaking up for Tashigi.

The others also frowned.

“The Marine is really too overbearing. Does leaving the Marine mean betraying it?”

Dezaya also said with an angry face.

“The Marine has always had this style~”

Robin put away her bounty poster and said in a calm voice.

“I’m really starting to hate the Marine more and more.”

Nami pouted dissatisfiedly.

“Sister Robin, how much is your bounty?”

Kaya looked at Robin with a curious face.

Robin smiled and shook her head.

“Not much~”

“Give it here, let me see how much it is.”

Nami, with her extensive experience in thievery, suddenly pulled the bounty poster from Robin’s arms.

“One, ten… hundred million. Two hundred million! Why is Robin’s bounty two hundred million!”

“What!”

“Two hundred million!”

The other girls were also shocked.

Because Robin’s strength couldn’t even make it into the top three on the ship, yet her bounty was higher than the others.

“Maybe it’s because Robin can decipher the poneglyphs. She’s a great threat to the World Government.”

Kaguya, who was comforting Tashigi, spoke up and explained.

“Then that’s too high. Even Robin has two hundred million. Kaguya, what’s your bounty? It wouldn’t be lower than Robin’s, would it?”

Nami looked at Kaguya and teased.

“This guy’s bounty is five hundred million.”

Makino, who knew Kaguya’s bounty, spoke up.

“Five hundred million!”

Nami immediately snatched his bounty poster from Kaguya’s hand.

Everyone gathered around to look, and it really was five hundred million.

“Now our Flower Heart Pirates is really going to be famous…”

Nojiko looked at the bounty and murmured.

In fact, that was indeed the case.

The bounties of Kaguyas Group appeared on the sea, immediately causing a huge stir.

Aside from the Big Mom Pirates who wanted to capture Kaguya to be Big Mom’s 44th husband, as well as Whitebeard and the Red Hair Pirates who were paying some attention to Kaguya.

Some Bounty Hunters roaming the Grand Line also turned their eyes toward this Pirate Crew whose bounties had suddenly skyrocketed.

However, Kaguya and the others were still unaware of this, and even if they knew, they wouldn’t care.

After pasting their bounties back in their rooms, everyone began training desperately again, because they all knew that the dangers in the future would only increase.

At night, after dinner.

Kaguya had intended to go to Hina’s room as usual to hold her to sleep, but as he passed Kaya’s room, he was directly pulled into the room by a fair and tender little hand.

The room was pitch black. Just as Kaguya was pulled in, a fragrant and soft body threw itself into his arms.

Kaguya was about to speak when the person in his arms tightly hugged his neck, half-hanging off him, and then kissed his lips.

Kaguya felt Kaya’s slightly trembling body in his arms and her clumsy yet passionate kiss, and his heart couldn’t help but soften.

He gently wrapped his arms around Kaya’s thighs, responding tenderly to her passion.

In the darkness, the breathing of the two gradually intertwined, and only the sound of heartbeats and slight panting remained in the room.

After a long time, Kaya reluctantly let go of him, her cheeks burning as she buried them in his chest, her voice as faint as a mosquito’s buzz: “Brother Kaguya… I like you…”

Kaguya felt the girl’s shyness and heat in his arms, gently stroking her hair, and said softly.

“I like Kaya very much too.”

Hearing this, Kaya’s body trembled slightly.

“Then why haven’t you touched me all this time…”

Kaguya was stunned for a moment, then gave her a doting kiss on the cheek.

“Before, I was concerned about your constitution. I didn’t expect to make you wait so impatiently. In that case, tonight Brother Kaguya will take good care of our little Kaya.”

Kaguya carried Kaya toward the bed.

Kaya was so ashamed that she buried her face deep into Kaguya’s chest, her small hands nervously hugging Kaguya’s neck… While Kaguya was doting on Kaya.

Hina lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

These past few days, Kaguya had forcefully held her to sleep every day, and she had already gotten used to the feeling of being held by him.

With that warm embrace suddenly missing tonight, Hina actually felt empty in her heart.

Hina turned over irritably and buried her face in the pillow.

The sea breeze blew through the porthole, fluttering her hair, but it couldn’t dispel the restlessness in her heart.

“Damn it…”

Hina bit the corner of the quilt, her fingers unconsciously clutching the sheets.

She suddenly realized she was looking forward to that bastard’s arrival, and the thought made her flush with shame.

Hina didn’t understand why she would have such contradictory emotions toward the man who kidnapped her.

Reason told her she should hate Kaguya, but her body betrayed her will.

Footsteps suddenly came from the hallway, and Hina’s heart rate suddenly accelerated.

She held her breath, looking forward to that familiar sound of the door opening.

However, the footsteps grew distant and eventually disappeared completely.

A sense of inexplicable loss welled up in her heart, and Hina sat up abruptly, angrily tugging at the seastone cuffs on her ankles.

After venting for a bit, she suddenly gave a self-deprecating laugh.

“What on earth am I thinking…”

Hina climbed out of bed and dragged her weak body toward the door.

She didn’t know why she was doing this, but she just wanted to know where Kaguya was and why he hadn’t come.

Hina walked out of the room with difficulty; the bright hallway was quiet, and everyone’s doors were tightly closed.

She walked slowly toward the end of the hallway.

As she passed Kaya’s room, she vaguely heard strange noises.

She immediately pricked up her ears and pressed them against the door, and when she distinguished what that sound was, her face instantly turned pale.

Hina bit her lower lip hard, a sour feeling spreading through her chest.

“So that’s how it is… No wonder he didn’t come tonight…”

Hina murmured to herself, her voice carrying a bitterness she hadn’t even noticed.

Hina stumbled back a few steps and turned to flee, but heard Kaya’s sobbing, flirtatious voice from the room.

“Brother Kaguya… gentler…”

This call pierced her heart like a sharp blade.

Under the light, Hina almost bit her lip until it bled.

She leaned against the wall trembling; at this moment, she was lost.

She was clearly a kidnapped Marine Captain, yet at this moment, she was actually jealous of the woman being held in Kaguya’s arms like a discarded woman.

Hina stumbled back to her room, and after closing the door heavily, she leaned against the door panel and slowly slid down to sit on the floor.

The seastone cuffs made a crisp clinking sound on the floor, sounding particularly harsh in the silent room.

She didn’t understand where this unspeakable bitterness came from. Clearly, that man was the culprit who forced her to stay here, and clearly, she should hate him.

“Hina… is such a fool…”

The sobbing self-murmur echoed in the empty room.
