Chapter 06: Saving Luu-Luu
-City of Feoh, (Restaurant, Night) -
At the moment we are in a restaurant several hours after the failed attack of the group known as the Black Dogs on Feoh.
Night had already fallen and although there were buildings and houses that needed to be repaired, the city was mostly in good condition.
That is if Beasley's mansion had been totally ransacked with everything of value being taken by the people of Feoh before Alicia gave the order that her mansion be burned until only rubble remained.
Needless to say, the blonde Warrior Princess wished to remove any trace of that Traitorous Minister whom she saw as a father figure but who betrayed her and the city, just so she could have her body.
Olga and Chloe had been escorted to the castle immediately before a stir started over the fact that they were here, although it could be seen from Alicia's servants and maids that they were not happy to have the Queen of the Dark Elves. and his assistant as 'invited allies'.
Luffy on the other hand decided to go out and explore the city since for now there was not much to do and he would get bored inside the castle.
In Luffy's case, people looked at him with smiles and admiration as the news spread that he was the one who ran through the streets at high speed defeating mercenaries and monsters.
Also, he was the one who sent Beasley's traitor and Vault's bastard flying, so in general, in Feoh there was a feeling of gratitude towards Luffy.
So a restaurant owner saw Luffy who was walking and looking at the city and proceeded to invite the boy in the straw hat to eat for free as a token of gratitude.
And so in this world, too people would begin to learn that offering free food to Monkey D. Luffy in general was not the best idea.
"Never in all my years of life have I seen someone eat so much." The owner of the place commented, impressed, that they had spent his years serving people who said they were very hungry, but those people never reached this level.
Luffy was sitting at a large table where different meat dishes were served to him.
With that Luffy only needed to stretch his arms to grab what he needed with his hands and then he threw it into his mouth.
Naturally, Luffy was allowed to eat for free, after all, he was the hero who had saved not only Feoh but also Alicia and Prim who were loved and admired by many.
Also, thanks to Luffy his daughter and his wife would be safe, the restaurant owner was more than willing to continue feeding Luffy even if he ended up keeping his empty warehouse.
It was the least he could do for the one who had saved the city of Feoh.
But since this world had never heard of Luffy's appetite then no one expected him to eat all that meat.
"Ah, I'm done." Said a satisfied Luffy who was stroking his stomach.
"R-Really?" The restaurant owner said relieved since he had no more meat left.
"Yes, now I have to go to sleep." And with that, Luffy got up from his seat and headed towards the exit of the restaurant. "Thanks! That meat was very good!" And with that, Luffy left the restaurant with a happy smile on his face for having been able to eat enough meat.
"By Celestine, his appetite must be as great as his strength." The restaurant owner's daughter said impressed. Still, there was not a hint of disgust towards Luffy, only surprise.
"But with him here we have nothing to fear, neither from the mercenaries nor from the Dark Elves." The restaurant owner's wife smiled as Luffy left.
That's right for the people of Feoh, Luffy had become hope.
-Streets of Feoh-
Leaving the restaurant a cheerful Luffy walks through the streets of the city now to find his way to the castle.
"Hmmm? Where was the castle?" He asked himself Luffy as he forgot where was the place he had to return to in order to sleep.
So our hero looked around until he noticed a certain construction that was clearly bigger than everything else.
"Oh right, the biggest place is where they are," recalled Luffy who saw how the castle was the highest there was in Feoh.
So he could go and walk towards that castle or just launch himself towards the thing that would be faster.
And deciding which would be the most fun option.
Luffy reached out one of his arms to grab the edge of the roof of a house and then pointed his direction towards one of the castle windows.
"Gum Gum Rocket!" And with that Luffy launched himself from the streets of the city towards the castle in what would be a trip through the air that would take him in a matter of seconds.
And so the direction in which Luffy would enter the castle would be through an open window, a window that was coincidentally the room of a certain Warrior Princess.
-Prim's room-
At the same time that Luffy is preparing his triumphal entry into the castle, we can see a certain Warrior Princess in his room.
As the season was warm she had decided to keep her window open throughout the night.
Prim Fiorire was sitting on her bed looking thoughtful about something. In fact, even she hadn't changed into her nightwear because Prim just wasn't sleepy yet and her mind was still focused on something else.
Her thoughts weren't even focused on the women who until very recently were enemies and who were now staying in this very castle.
Even she did not think about the attack Feoh had suffered recently where Beasley had revealed himself to be a traitor and where she herself was at risk of losing her purity.
No, her thoughts were focused on a certain boy in a straw hat.
"Mr. Luffy…" She muttered to herself the pink-haired one as she remembered the moment when Luffy had first appeared and when he saved her from Vault.
From that moment, Prim couldn't get out of her mind that boy who claimed to be a pirate but who acted totally different from what she had heard about how pirates acted and looked.
Not to mention her strange stretching powers that apparently came from a magical fruit.
What she did not expect was that by thinking about Luffy he would end up showing up.
From the window, a figure flew in and ended up impacting right in the center of the room.
Prim almost screamed out of reflex thinking that it might be a mercenary who came to kidnap her until she noticed a straw hat, which caused her to calm down instantly.
"S-Sir Luffy!" Prim finally managed to say that after coming out of her initial surprise to see Luffy coming in from the window.
"Oh, Prim," Luffy said normally, ignoring the fact that he had entered a princess room through the window.
If the situation had been different, Luffy at this time would have been chased by his guards or something like that.
"What are you doing here?" She asked, holding back her nervousness as she realized that now she was alone in the same room as that boy who had captured her interest.
"As the castle was far away I decided to launch myself from the city towards an open window," Luffy answered honestly.
"I see, that's why you ended up in my room." Prim nodded who now understood why Luffy had come flying from the window.
"Ah, so this is your room." Said Luffy who looked around and saw that it was a typical princess room.
As Luffy looked around her, Prim's eyes focused on Luffy's muscular torso and although she noticed that he had notable muscles in his stomach, it was a certain scar on his chest that was most notable.
Prim wanted to know the story behind that scar but she felt it was still too early to ask a question like that.
In fact, Prim wanted to know more about Luffy as she realized that even if she had an interest in him, she hardly knew anything about the boy in the straw hat.
"I'm going to go to my room to sleep," Luffy said.
Hearing that, Prim got nervous because although there were many things that she wanted to talk to Luffy about, out of all of them there was something that she wanted in particular.
So Prim knew that she had to act fast before Luffy left.
"Wait a moment please!" Prim exclaimed managing to stop Luffy from leaving.
Arming herself again with that courage that she rarely displayed, Prim decided to ask Luffy a question.
"Mister Luffy, if it weren't too much trouble." There Prim approached her bed took out a pillow and then turned to face Luffy. "Could you hug this pillow?" The pink-haired girl asked with some shyness and nerves when making a request that could be considered strange.
Fortunately, Luffy was a very simple person who would not search for the deeper meaning of those words.
"Hmmm? Well..." Said Luffy who, although he didn't see much sense in it, also didn't see anything wrong with Prim's request.
So he hugged that pillow for a few seconds and gave it back to Prim.
"Thank you very much." Thanked a smiling Prim.
Even if Luffy didn't understand much at least that girl looked happy and that was enough for him.
She and Olga were enemies from what Luffy understood but Prim was willing to put that resentment aside to work together to defeat the Black Dogs.
Bottom line, Prim was on Luffy's list of people who liked him.
"For nothing, now after eating and fighting it made me want to sleep." And with that, Luffy ran off to find what would be her room.
The door to Prim's room closed when she closed it herself.
And now that she was finally alone, Prim proceeded to give that pillow a big hug and fall onto her bed.
"Ahh… the scent of Mr. Luffy…" She muttered to herself as she smelled the pillow that she had asked Luffy to hug.
Right now for Prim that scent had an effect that made her head feel light Luffy's scent could be described as meat along with sweat and the scent of a man.
Realizing what she was doing to the pink-haired woman, she couldn't help but ask herself a question.
"Is this... Love?" The pink-haired girl muttered to herself.
Even though she had had many people who were suitors, Prim had never felt her heart beat like it does now… except sometimes with Alicia where her heart beat strangely too.
What she felt for Alicia was brotherly love Prim finally realized it.
Prim Fiorire had a crush on Monkey D. Luffy.
"Yes, I fell in love with a pirate." A smiling Prim muttered to herself as she hugged her pillow in such a way as if she was hugging Luffy in her imagination.
It really did look like one of those fantasy books that she loved to read where a brave man appeared out of nowhere to save the princess and take her away to make her his lover.
In fact, Prim was even considering asking Luffy if he was willing to take her on her boat wherever he wanted to go.
And with thoughts like those Prim Fiorire fell asleep hugging the pillow that had Luffy's scent and that she fell asleep with clothes on her bed.
But at least she was the first to admit those feelings even if it was to herself.
-Castle of Alicia and Prim, (The Next Day) -
On Feoh a day had passed since Kuroinu's failed attack. The city had managed to make a stable recovery even if there was fear of a possible second attack.
The bodies of the mercenaries and monsters that Luffy knocked out had been burned.
In addition, an announcement was made to the city that Olga Discordia and her assistant had agreed to help fight the mercenaries of Kuroinu and that they would stay in the castle.
Needless to say, instead of feeling happy, people started screaming for the deaths of Olga and Chloe, since their crimes against humans had not been forgotten at all. Yet Alicia's words had been final and the Dark Elves were to be regarded as allies.
Olga and Chloe had not set foot outside the castle as they had been warned that they might be attacked by the guards or the citizens of Feoh. They would clearly defend themselves and with that, a conflict would break out.
It seemed that at least Alicia managed to hide that Luffy was an ally of Olga since she did not want the spirits of the people to fall if it was known that the hero who had saved them was an ally of the enemy of humans.
But what would appear to be a calm day would turn out to be a more chaotic one.
-Luffy's room-
At this time, in the direction of the room where Luffy was sleeping soundly, Alicia was heading to wake him up.
While Alicia would have liked to talk more with Luffy yesterday it was simply too busy for her who had to help control everything after the mercenaries attacked.
That's why she went to wake him up herself even though she may have left that job to a castle maid. Alicia planned to speak alone with Luffy (an idea that in itself for some reason made her happy).
However, when she opened the door to her room she was surprised.
The reason why Alicia was so shocked?
Luffy was sleeping, that was not unusual at all since this was his room that had been assigned to him.
But he was not alone.
Sleeping to her left and using her left shoulder as a pillow was Olga Discordia who was sleeping with a smile on her face a confident smile, as if sleeping next to Luffy made her feel more safe.
And surprisingly on his right side was Chloe who also slept using Luffy's shoulder as a pillow and if you looked closely you would notice a tiny smile on the face of the Half-Dark Elf who surely also felt safe when sleeping next to Luffy and in the same bed as her Queen.
Alicia Arcturus stood still for a few seconds trying to process the scene in front of her eyes, until her mind succeeded.
"What are you doing here?!" Shouted Alice who was referring to the two Dark Elves.
Alicia's voice was enough to wake Olga and Chloe who, being alert for that scream, immediately threw the sheet that covered the three of them to the ground, thinking that an enemy had appeared.
There Alicia blushed when she saw that Olga and Chloe were naked.
At least by removing the covers she could see that Luffy was still wearing his shorts.
"You were given your own rooms." Alicia said seriously, recovering from her blush. "Why are you here and not in them?"
"As the reaction of your servants was what I expected from humans, I thought sleeping alone in our rooms was a bad idea." Explained Olga who was still sitting on the bed and seemed to have no intention of getting up.
There was no shortage of people who held hatred and resentment towards the Dark Elves due to the war, and all those negative emotions were sure to intensify with the Queen and her helper.
As it was another woman who was looking at her, Olga did not feel ashamed to have her body exposed to her and if she had been a man then she would have eliminated it with a spell or by giving the order to Chloe.
Although of course, Luffy was the only exception she would make to that rule.
So Olga decided that she and Chloe needed to sleep in the safest place possible, which was clearly next to Luffy.
After all, after saving Feoh and displaying enormous power, Olga knew that they would not dare to try something dangerous in her room.
And since she and Chloe were intact, Olga's plan to survive the night in a castle full of people who hated her had worked well.
Strangely enough, Alicia might have reacted so explosively because of jealousy.
Since Luffy looked like a prince charming who had saved her and Prim when everything seemed lost maybe Alicia had taken a certain affection for the Captain of the Straw Hats.
And that was remarkable because Alicia had never given a man that kind of attention before.
"The powerful and feared Olga Discordia sleeping with a human," Alicia said in a tone that she deliberately used to irritate Olga. "I never thought that the day would really come when something like this would happen." And since it was clear a single night did not it would change the negative opinion that Alicia had about Olga.
However, those words weren't enough to irritate Olga and Chloe on the other hand.
"Be careful what you say." Chloe threatened even being naked and without any weapon. "Remember that it is my Queen you speak to like this besides that we are allies." Chloe smiled as she reminded Alicia in her face that now they were allies, which the Half-Dark Elf deliberately said to irritate Alice.
The expression on Alicia's face showed that she didn't have an answer for that so she decided to change the subject a bit.
"In any case why are they naked? Are they trying to seduce Luffy?" She said that last in an accusing tone.
"We Dark Elves as a species have a habit of sleeping naked." Olga reveals. "It makes us feel closer to nature."
And as if it were pure instinct, Luffy chose that moment to wake up, he sat on the bed, yawned, and passed his forearm across his eyes.
Then he could see that in the same bed as him there were some naked Dark Elves while from the door was an Alice who seemed to be irritated.
"Were they very hot?" Luffy asked who neither blushed nor said anything perverted even having two beautiful dark-skinned beauties naked in the same bed as him.
If seeing Boa Hancock naked did not cause anything then this would not either.
"You see it, Chloe?" Said Olga who had a small smile on her face. "Luffy really isn't like the men you know?"
Although clearly, a part of Olga was a bit upset that Luffy had no reaction to her body, a body that many had lusted for.
"Y-Yes..." A blushing Chloe managed to say that she tried to cover her body using the sheet, even though Luffy was someone without lustful desires for her body, the Half-Dark Elf was still ashamed because a man was looking at her.
Ironically, when she was younger, she had received lustful looks from men that caused her disgust and resignation because she could not do anything but accept those looks Luffy's look that did not contain those wishes only caused shame.
"No, I can believe it." On her side, Alicia was also incredulous after seeing how Luffy had no reaction whatsoever when he saw Olga and Chloe's naked bodies.
For Alicia, men, in general, were brutes who only sought pleasure, perhaps part of that thought was due to the perverted looks that the men of the city gave her when they believed that she was not looking and the matter with Beasley only worsened her vision of men.
"Hey, Alicia." Said Luffy who focused her attention on the blonde.
"Y-Yes?" She said surprised at being addressed to him by her words and also being referred to so casually when everyone (Except Prim) spoke to her with respect.
"Is breakfast ready?" Luffy asked expectantly with a bit of saliva dripping from her mouth showing that he was hungry.
Hearing that question, Olga and Chloe sighed knowing that Luffy was going to eat food in large quantities again.
Alicia just looked at Luffy wondering how his brain worked and how he could be serious in battle but at the same time so simple in moments like this.
However, anything here was interrupted by Prim's voice.
"Sister, it's an emergency!" Prim's voice could be heard nearby.
And in no time she opened the door to Luffy's room just so she could see the state of our hero in bed.
"W-What's going on here?!" Shouted a Prim who covered her eyes when she saw the two Dark Elves naked and sitting on the bed with a Luffy who was alone in her pants.
"Ah, Prim." Luffy greeted amiably. "What's wrong? Is it breakfast time?" He asked with an expectant tone of voice since after the night's sleep he had gotten hungry that's why he kept insisting on breakfast.
"N-No." Replied she who looked away from the bed. "An informant has told us that the mercenaries are mobilizing to attack Rad with large numbers and that at this moment Luu-Luu would have been captured." She said in a manner that worried Prim.
"That!?" Alicia shouted in disbelief since if they went towards Rad her only objective would be Luu-Luu.
Prim knew it too and that's why she went to the edge of the bed where Luffy was sitting.
"Mister Luffy..." Prim began to speak and surprisingly got to her knees despite her status. "Please she's our partner! She has to help her!" Now Prim added in and she was looking at Luffy with eyes that were on the verge of tears knowing that Luu-Luu could end up being tainted by those guys.
That mental image was just very unpleasant for Prim.
"She has to go save Luu-Luu, please!" The pink-haired girl begged. Prim knew that if anyone could stand up to a large number of mercenaries and her monsters that person was Luffy.
Yes without a doubt he could rescue Luu-Luu.
"Alright!" Luffy said after thinking about it for a second. "Besides Bulk will be there so that's reason enough for me to go there." Said a certain Luffy.
Prim instantly smiled upon hearing that.
"Good, Luu-Luu will be safe." She said with a tone of happiness and relief since she did not doubt that Luffy could without a doubt save Ruu Ruu.
Alicia on the side of her gave a sigh of relief as she was also relieved that Ruu Ruu could be saved from the horrible fate that almost happened to herself.
"Not only will you go Luffy." Olga's voice was heard. "Chloe and I will also go with you."
The Dark Elf Half nodded too. "If it's to fight against those mercenaries, I'll gladly be there." Chloe didn't forget that they almost caused her to be raped by some ogres and she was going to take revenge by killing a few mercenaries and monsters she could.
"Are you really going to help a Warrior Princess?" Alicia asked suspiciously since the Warrior Princesses who commanded the Alliance of Seven Shields were Olga's main enemies during the conflict prior to the Black Dogs' rebellion.
"Well since that princess is not a human but a Halfling I have no problem with her," Olga said calmly.
Right, even being part of the Seven Shields Alliance of all, Olga could say that Princess Luu-Luu was the one that she had the least reason to despise for the simple fact of not being human.
"Even if I were a human I would go rescue, I would not like it but denying the pleasure to the scum that are those mercenaries takes priority over my contempt for an inferior species." Olga said calmly who had no problem calling humans a 'species bottom 'still in front of two Warrior Princesses and Luffy.
But then she immediately looked at Luffy.
"Although I must admit that there are exceptional humans." She said to the surprise of the others except Luffy who, not being from here, really didn't understand how great it was for Olga to say something like that. "Humans that don't bother me at all that they are Close to me."
To emphasize those words, Olga Discordia wrapped her right arm around Luffy's in an identical way to how couples would do it, and she was still naked.
Alicia looked at that with irritation because Olga was practically announcing that the human who was capable of facing armies by himself was an ally of hers, although perhaps a bit of that irritation had also been from seeing Olga so close to Luffy.
Chloe on the side of her saw that with a little jealousy and a bit of surprise since she didn't feel as jealous as she thought she would feel seeing her Queen acting so close to Luffy. At the same time, Chloe wanted to grab Luffy's free arm to do the same as her Queen.
And finally Prim, she looked like she was going to start crying when she saw the position Olga was in with Luffy.
The pink-haired girl really wanted to be the one next to Luffy in such a close way.
"See, she will help us." Smiled Luffy who seemed not to notice the reactions of the others when he saw how Olga was holding her arm.
Of course, Olga sighed when she heard that since she couldn't see any blush or show of discomfort from Luffy when any other man would be drooling with lust.
While she was happy that Luffy wasn't a pervert maybe it was a bit frustrating how he didn't seem to see his charms.
Deciding to accept that a hated enemy would be helping to rescue Luu-Luu was the only thing she could do, Alicia simply nodded at Luffy which earned Olga a smile to Alicia's irritation.
"Here every second is vital, We have to leave immediately, there is no time to gather more people." Alicia decided and then looked at Luffy. "Also if your power is so great as to face monsters and mercenaries without major problems then It only remains to trust in that power."
After hearing from the mouth of her soldiers how Luffy had moved through the city sending each enemy to fly, whether it was a mercenary or a monster, he did with extreme ease as if he did not even try.
That is why Alicia did not see the idea of following Luffy in what would be a combat in Rad against the superior numerical forces of the Black Dogs.
"And I want to go too!" Prim said after gathering the courage to say those words.
"Hey?!" Alicia responded with surprise at the words of her younger sister.
Alicia's surprise was justified since they were going to go to a battlefield where at least Luffy, herself, Olga Discordia, and her assistant had the skills to face opponents.
But Prim was the only Warrior Princess without offensive capabilities.
"I know I can't fight or use magic, but I am also a Warrior Princess and Luu-Luu is my friend." She said with the greatest determination she could muster.
It was very clear that Alicia was going to respond with a negative response to that request, so Luffy spoke first.
"She's going with us," Luffy said with a tone of finality. He had seen Prim's determination to go into battle even though she was scared and not very strong.
Luffy respected those kinds of wills besides that it reminded him of Ussop in the sense that someone weak got up the courage to go to the battlefield.
"But…!" Alicia tried to protest only to stop when she saw Luffy's determined gaze.
"I have to say that she goes with us and it's final." Again the tone that Luffy used showed that there was no room for arguments.
That same tone that he used to give the final word when he was the captain of his ship.
Even a Warrior Princess who wasn't a subordinate to him, even she couldn't challenge that tone of voice.
"Okay, Prim will go with us," Alicia said in a resigned tone as she looked at the ground, she was surprised at the power of that boy's words and at the same time ashamed of herself for not finding the strength to initiate an argument with him.
Hearing that, Prim gave Luffy a look of gratitude.
"But!" Alice said gaining everyone's attention again. "If she is hurt in battle then you and your Dark Elves will leave Feoh." She said with a finality tone, In the end despite any possible attraction to Luffy in these moments Prim was still the most dear to Alicia.
"Very good." Luffy nodded and looked at Olga. "Olga and Chloe, please protect her." The Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates asked.
While Luffy wasn't one of the smartest at least he was a genius when he came to battle. As a battle, it was the place where he along with the other girls were going to be transported to a battlefield with many enemies who would surely attack Prim for being the only one who did not have offensive capabilities.
"Are you leaving Prim's safety in the hands of those Dark Elves?!" I shout angrily Alicia. It could be that Olga and Chloe were 'allies' in this alliance against the Black Dogs but nevertheless, that did not mean that Alicia trusted them in any way.
Since in the end, the crimes that Olga Discordia committed against humans were not the kind that could be forgiven just by being on the same side.
"I assure you, I am not at all excited to have to protect a human." Chloe replied who then looked at Olga and sighed knowing what her Queen would say. "But as Luffy ordered us to do so."
Before that, Olga nodded with a slight smile when she saw that Chloe understood.
"Normally as a Queen, I would not take orders from anyone, much less a human." Olga Discordia began to speak who then closed her eyes. "But since Luffy is a special human I am willing to make an exception and follow his orders." She revealed to Alicia's surprise.
Despite her reputation each time Olga Discordia showed that at least she was free from her prejudice against humans towards Luffy and in fact, she respected him enough to allow
"Monkey D. Luffy, just who are you?" Alicia for her part could not believe that all this (Defeating the Kuroinu and getting Olga Discordia as an ally) was achieved by a single person.
When she heard that he was a Pirate, Alicia prepared for the worst.
But Luffy was definitely different from all that scum that were the pirates that were on the shores of Serenus.
However, right now Luu-Luu was in danger and Alicia knew that she had to act fast to save her… questions could come later.
"Alright, let's go save Luu-Luu!" Alicia declared raising her new sword in the air since she had to get a new one for which Luffy broke her yesterday.
Beside her Prim nodded with absolute determination.
Prim had a high regard for all the other Warrior Princesses as they had accepted her as part of the group despite not having any offensive abilities. That is why she would go with them even when she could not fight, She was also one of the Warrior Princesses and she would make sure that her partner was okay.
"So stay still I need to focus to mentalize Rad," Said Olga who closed her eyes and began to gather magic energy for her spell. She and Chloe had already put on their clothes and were ready to continue ruining Vault's plans.
Beneath them, a magic circle formed.
And so...
"Ruura!" Olga announcement. And so Luffy along with Olga, Chloe, Alicia, and Prim head towards the City of Rad traveling at incredible speeds to arrive on time.
The place they were headed would be a battlefield as far as they knew. But in order to save Luu-Luu they would go, maybe almost all with different reasons but the truth was that they all accepted that Kuroinu should be stopped.
Will Vault's plan be enough to stop Luffy?
Or maybe it's just another failure that ends with your group again defeated and with less reputation.
The only thing that was certain was that the mercenaries were going to once again end up in a battle against Luffy to keep his dreams of the Empire of Sex alive, which was getting more and more complicated with Luffy targeting them to defeat.
-City of Rad-
On the other hand, at the moment things were not going well at all in the city known as Rad, because a great attack had occurred where they had been defeated due to a massive attack by the mercenaries known as the Black Dogs.
The defense forces of the city and the Warrior Princess of Rad fought bravely but in the end, there was no case.
That is why now we are in the middle of the main square of Rad where on a small stage built for the situation there was a little girl with orange hair with a hat, that girl was very short and her clothes barely covered her body and finally, she had a tail.
That girl is Luu-Luu, a Halfling and the Warrior Princess of Rad.
Luu-Luu was a Halfling, a half-human species of small, childlike beings. One peculiarity of them was that the Halflings was that they were born almost exclusively female and they could mate with any other species.
The Halflings themselves lived far from the cities and places where humans were, but since Luu-Luu was a Warrior Princess she was the exception to living in a city surrounded by humans, which also served to show the commitment of her race to Eostia.
Out of all the Warrior Princesses, physically speaking Luu-Luu was the strongest. Which combined with her personality that she enjoyed battles and her powerful ax made her someone to fear on the battlefield.
However, even she was unable against a large number of enemies and was eventually defeated.
That is why now she was here in Rad's main square on a small stage that the mercenaries had built.
In front of her were the inhabitants of the city who had been forced by the mercenaries to stay and witness what was going to happen so that they would have an idea of what happened to all those who disobeyed Kuroinu.
The other inhabitants had been ordered to stay inside their houses as Vault planned to unleash a very dangerous beast, so many dead people meant fewer women to amuse themselves after having achieved their goal of killing Luffy.
Lastly, her mercenaries were safe on the outskirts of Rad as Vault did not want to expose them to that beast and lose even more men but when it was all over they would all enter to enjoy Rad's women along with the sweet victory.
That's why only he, Kin, and the three monsters that he planned to use to rape Luu-Luu were present, plus the beast that he planned to use to kill Luffy which was hidden but ready to be used.
"You have already been defeated." Vault said to an irritated Luu-Luu who refused to accept defeat at the hands of such trash. He had in his hand a chain attached to a necklace that she had put around the orange-haired girl's neck as a sign of her defeat. "That means I can do whatever I want with you."
Hearing those words Luu-Luu visibly became discouraged and that challenge towards Vault disappeared when she saw that nothing could be done anymore.
"Why? My body is small compared to humans." Luu-Luu said with some pity.
She knew that unlike all the other girls men would not feel much attraction towards her small body.
"The Empire of Sex is absurd." To Luu-Luu Vault's dream just didn't make sense.
"Just so you know you'll soon be serving my empire once I clear a certain obstacle." And with that Vault gave the Ogre a signal to approach.
Said beast (with his manhood showing) took a frightened Luu-Luu upon seeing the size of that member Clearly the Ogre was going to use that huge member to violate Luu-Luu's small body.
Vault smiled knowing that at any moment that boy should appear, after all, it was one of his undercover subordinates in the form of an informant in Feoh to warn of the planned attack on Rad and even the hour in which he planned to see how purity was taken from him.
This invasion was also a trap to kill Luffy with his grand plan to use a powerful beast against him.
He even said the exact time he planned to do this to Luu-Luu to be better prepared for when Luffy appears.
"Yes, in any moment." Mentally Vault could not contain the anticipation of him, on the one hand, if that boy did not arrive in time he could see how the huge limbs of the creatures that he had selected violated the small body of the Halfling.
'Please someone help me!' He mentally begged Luu-Luu to whom it was only enough that the Ogre decided to lower her arms to lose his virginity.
But apparently, Vault's wishes for revenge and Luu-Luu's shouts of salvation worked.
From the sky, a light descended a short distance from the stage where Luu-Luu's rape was to take place.
The light was such that everyone covered her eyes and even the Ogre that had Luu-Luu did not move.
And from that light, a fist shot out at high speed!
And the place where it hit was the manhood of the Ogre that was about to rob Luu-Luu's purity.
"GYAAAAH!" He yelled at the Ogre feeling how his manhood had been broken with a single blow. In fact, a sound similar to that of a bone breaking could even be heard.
With that also his grip on Luu-Luu weakened which caused the Halfling to fall to the stage.
"Ouch…!" She complained as she fell with her butt on the stage.
But at least she was free from the hands of the Ogre that was what mattered, so Luu-Luu focused her attention on that light that appeared out of nowhere and had apparently saved her.
As that light dissipated, Luu-Luu felt relief when she saw the familiar figures of Alicia and Prim since they were allies.
However, said relief did not last long when Luu-Luu also realized that next to them were Olga Discordia and her assistant Chloe who were their enemies. Confusion was caused in the Halfling by seeing how her allies stood side by side with the enemies without starting to kill each other.
And finally hope when seeing how the fist that had saved her surprisingly seemed to belong to a boy with a straw hat who had stretched said fist.
"Was I saved by that boy?" Luu-Luu said slowly, seeing that finally, the most important thing here was that that fist had hit the Ogre hard and at the same time protected her virginity.
At a time like this, it was difficult to keep her head focused but Luu-Luu could at least avoid losing to her nerves by focusing all of her attention on Luffy.
"I finally found you Bulk." Said a serious Luffy seeing that Vault was there in front of him. "This time I'm going to kick your ass and defeat you once and for all." And for emphasis, Luffy thrust his knuckles.
But Vault was about to laugh when he saw how everything was going perfectly.
"Hahahahaha!" Vault laughed triumphantly at the sight of those in front, "I already knew you were going to fall right into my trap!"
"If this is your trap then I think the latest defeats really started to make you lose your mind," Olga said in a cold and deliberately arrogant way, looking at Vault as if he were an inferior being.
Although of course, for her the humans themselves (minus Luffy) were inferior beings, Vault was in a special category by itself.
"You..." An angry Vault muttered when he saw how the woman he was supposed to rape was now in front of him looking at him in such a way.
Finally, a reunion between them had occurred. Certainly, since they did not see each other during the attack on Feoh this was the time where Vault finally saw Olga and Chloe again.
"Although it costs me to admit it she is right," Alicia said who also gave Vault a look as if he were trash. "If those monsters are all you have then you are underestimating us." She was especially referring to Luffy who had shown enough power to be possible to think that he could only defeat those three who were the Ogre (who was still kneeling on the ground in pain) the Minotaur and the Cyclops.
"Hmm, is that girl Luu-Luu?" Luffy asked when he saw the girl with orange hair and short stature standing on that stage, he could tell that she was looking at him intensely.
"Yes…" Prim nodded nervously. "But Mr. Luffy please don't call her that, she's the same age." Everyone who made comments about calling Luu-Luu a 'girl' ended up quite hurt.
That sort of thing was a sore spot for the Halfling.
"Hmm, I can take care of you any other day," Vault commented, not giving much thought to Alice, which irritated the Warrior Princess.
"Do you want to try?" Alicia was ready to draw her sword and go fight Vault.
"Listen, before of you my first target is that Queen." Vault replied. "Since I missed the opportunity to take her virginity, there has not been a night that I did not dream of deflowering her."
Hearing that Chloe had to clench her teeth to avoid running to stab that bastard in the neck.
However, Olga remained impassive at those words and simply with her gaze gave her answer to Vault.
She scum like you could never put a finger on me, she was hinted at by the look of those beautiful amber eyes.
"Oh… I'll enjoy fucking you all night until you lose your sanity." Vault said with a wicked smile as he imagined that enormous will and pride being destroyed by him and then by his mercenaries.
"Someone as disgusting as you have no right to even touch Olga-sama's hair." said a very hostile Chloe who was seconds away from throwing her knife into Vault's eye.
"Don't think I have forgotten about you." Vault smiled with the same perversion when he saw Chloe. "The remaining Ogres are eager to use your body until you break."
"Hey, Bulk!" It was heard from Luffy who until now had been a bit sidelined in this confrontation "Don't forget that I'm here too!"
"But how could I forget the biggest cause of my failures?" Vault smiled. smile that showed barely contained fury when speaking to Luffy.
"I'm warning you, this time I'll kick your ass and stop you!" Luffy declared.
"No, it will be here that you will die and finally one of the biggest problems is eliminated," Vault replied.
"You are too trusting if you think that with what you have you can beat us," Chloe said looking at Kin and the three monsters that by Vault's order were not moving.
"I already ordered my men to evacuate," I reveal an unsuspecting Vault. "After all I don't want to expose them to great danger by the method I will use to kill you."
"No matter what you throw at me, I will defeat you!" A Luffy declared that did not show any fear.
"Those are the best last words! For an asshole!" And with that Vault gave the signal to Kin who had gone unnoticed by others until now.
"Lift Invisibility!" Kin said.
By doing that, it could be seen that in the square there was a huge monster hidden all the time.
A huge being that had been captured by several chains with magic seals on each one.
People could only stare in terror as a monster that only inhabited certain parts far away from civilized places appeared.
"Grrrr...!" Because the chains were also over his mouth that being could only give that suppressed growl instead of a full one.
"Th-That's a Behemoth…" muttered a scared Alice when she saw one of those feared beasts firsthand.
(For an image, take as a reference the monster from Yu Gi Oh: Behemoth the King of All Animals)
So everyone (except Luffy and Vault) looked at that monster with varying levels of fear.
"If it weren't for Siamhaza making those special stamps this wouldn't have been so simple," Vault commented without much thought.
That was a mistake he made due to his overconfidence in this plan to use the Behemoth since he had said the name of an ally of the Black Dogs.
A name that one of the girls could recognize.
"But that name..." muttered Prim who recognized the name of that person and more specifically who was close to this 'Siamhaza'
She had to make an effort to avoid giving a very visible reaction since if she did, Prim was afraid that Vault would realize that she had recognized that name.
At least Prim knew that another Warrior Princess was in immediate danger!
"Maybe they weren't so useless after all." And although she hurt Olga she had to give the mercenaries a bit of credit as capturing a Behemoth was not an easy thing.
Even the creatures behind Luu-Luu stared with clear terror at the Behemoth for them it was pure animal instinct that made them fear such a superior power.
Chloe for the part of her began to look worriedly at Luffy since she knew of the reputation that the Behemoths had as killing machines.
She was worried about Luffy.
"Don't worry Chloe." said a calm Dark Elf Queen who was the only one who wasn't intimidated by the Behemoth. "Even a Behemoth is no match for Luffy."
Hearing her Queen saying that the Half-Dark Elf girl calmed down. She remembered that Luffy was not a mere human who would die at the hands of a Behemoth.
But why had she cared so much in the first place?
"Behemoth, that boy is your target!" Vault indicated pointing towards Luffy.
Said creature only looked at Luffy for a few moments and then growled at him in a threatening way. Thus it was confirmed that the Behemoth thought of Luffy as his new target to destroy.
"After the Behemoth kills you it will just kill everything in its path, but by then me and my men will be gone." It would be unfortunate that they couldn't take any of Rad's women if that plan worked but at the same time, they would get rid of the biggest obstacle.
And if Luffy really managed to defeat the Behemoth then Vault could use his Plan B to fry it with electricity to kill it, then kill the defeated Behemoth and thus enjoy the women of Rad and more specifically the Dark Elves and Warrior Princesses.
Thus Vault in the background hoped that Luffy would be able to use Plan B.
"Release Chains!" Declared Kin who pointed to the seals of the chains that held the beast.
The beast was finally free.
"Behemoth! Kill that boy!" Commando Vault pointing at Luffy with his sword.
Said the huge beast gave a growl upon finding his prey and with great agility for his huge body that feared beast launched itself towards Luffy.
The Behemoth was among the most feared and powerful beasts in Eostia, although it was not the strongest it was still very formidable.
But Vault just didn't understand.
Vault just couldn't understand how powerful Luffy was compared to Eostia's power standards.
Before starting his training in Rusukaina the Behemoth would have given Luffy trouble in a battle where he would have had to use his two Gears to achieve victory, but this was a Luffy who had trained in a place with much worse beasts in Rusukaina.
"Gum Gum Jet Pistol!" Luffy replied.
With great strength and speed, Luffy threw a very powerful punch courtesy of a Second Gear activated only on his right arm but what no one saw for the speed of the attack was how that fist was even more devastating as it was covered in Armament Haki.
The Behemoth was hit directly in the nose the effect was immediate, and the beast stopped running and stayed still.
Even one of the huge teeth of the beast ended up being destroyed and smashed to pieces.
The Behemoth, the feared creature that only lived to kill and that almost all monsters feared had been defeated in one fell swoop.
That massive body was now inert on the ground.
The inhabitants watched in total silence as that legendary beast lay defeated that easily.
Alicia and Prim did as well since with this they could finally begin to imagine the magnitude of the power that Luffy possessed.
Olga and Chloe on the other hand, who had personally seen Luffy kill off a group of mercenaries and ogres (In addition to seeing Luffy use his Third Gear) this result was not really that surprising although the ease since they thought that the Behemoth would give more fight.
However what surprised the Dark Elves was the fact that Vault still had the composure of.
They didn't know but he still had plan 'b' from him.
"I didn't think this wouldn't happen!" A confident Vault replied and looked at Kin. "Now do it!" Order the Leader of Black Dogs.
"Yes!" The Vault wizard replied with his open book and pointed his palm at Luffy.
"Electric shock!" Kin declare.
From his palm, a magic circle of form and electricity formed and a blue-colored beam ended up being shot toward Luffy.
"Mr. Luffy!" Shouted Prim who felt tears beginning to form in her eyes after seeing her lover being attacked with electricity.
"Luffy!" Alicia yelled in a similar state to Prim.
"No..." And finally, the one who said that was Chloe who saw with horror how that electricity had fully hit Luffy.
That level of electricity was not something humans could handle. Luffy wouldn't survive that.
So why did the idea of that human dying bring her such an enormous pain in her heart?
He. Was. A human!
But of all of them, the only one who was not the least affected was Olga Discordia.
After all, she knew that something like that would be no problem for the human she had decided to trust.
That's why she didn't show surprise when after the electricity stopped an intact Luffy was seen standing there.
It took the others a few seconds to process what had happened basically, someone had survived that great electric shock.
"B-But how is it possible?!" Shouted a horrified Kin. "No human could survive such electricity!" It just didn't make sense to him.
Vault on the part of him was beginning to see Luffy with less hatred and more fear.
"Are they stupid?" Said Olga who gave an arrogant smile when she saw the confused faces of the mercenaries. "Since when does electricity affect rubber?" And with those words, the mercenaries finally understood Luffy was immune to electricity.
"N-No… all is not lost!" Said a clearly desperate Vault who had to think quickly as he saw how his two big plans had failed in a matter of seconds. "People can still be used as hostages!"
But Olga, who had already better recovered her magic, was not going to allow that.
"Asutoron!" It was Olga's response who raised her scepter in the air to cast that spell.
And before the astonished gaze of Luffy and the mercenaries, all the inhabitants of Rad along with Chloe, Alicia, Prim, and Luu-Luu turned to steel.
"Wow!" Said an impressed Luffy who had stars in his eyes when he saw the effects of that spell. "What did you do?!" An excited Luffy asked Olga who felt nice to have that kind of look directed at her from Luffy.
"I turned every non-member of Kuroinu into very high-strength steel," Olga revealed feeling quite satisfied seeing Vault's horrified face to see that they had lost the advantage of using Rad's inhabitants as hostages. "You can try to attack them but They won't be harmed until in ten minutes my spell loses its effects." And to Olga's credit, she was just breathing a little heavier than normal as a sign of the effects of that spell.
"Ah, with this I can fight without problems." Said a happy Luffy who no longer had to worry about his enemies trying to use hostages.
Now Vault was beginning to tremble at the thought of having to fight one-on-one against that monster with the straw hat.
"K-Kin... c-create a b-barrier!" The Black Dog's Leader said quite urgently to his magician with glasses who was also trembling in fear.
"Y-Yes..." Kin managed to answer who with trembling hands tried to search for a protection spell.
But Olga would not miss this opportunity.
"Luffy, could you wait a moment?" She said to our hero. "I need to do something before you can fill Vault with blows."
"Hmm? Sure!" He nodded smoothly, if Olga wanted to fight too then he wouldn't mess with it.
"Minadein!" It was what Olga said who pointed her scepter at Kin.
From Olga's scepter, a great beam of electricity shot out that left the one Kin wanted to use against Luffy to shame.
And so Kin (Kuroinu's best wizard and Vault's right-hand man) could only see how a magic attack much more powerful than something he could use was heading towards him.
"Ahhh!" He yelled as he felt a huge amount of volts fry his body. Even the trustworthy magic book of his that Kin always carried with him ended up on fire due to the intensity of Olga's attack.
And so Kin ended up dead because of Olga's spell.
"Kin!" Vault shouted when he saw how the best wizard of his group had ended up killed with a single spell from Olga Discordia.
"Out of all the humans I have killed with my magic that will hold a special place in my memories." Olga smiled as she remembered hearing that magician with glasses talk about how he would use his magic to help break her.
Now that second-rate wizard was only a scorched body.
"And now take your pet!" And with that Luffy kicked the unconscious Behemoth in the stomach, which was sent flying directly towards Vault.
The beast was sent flying with such intensity that Vault could not even react when that huge body was already in front of him ... and the worst thing was that the sharp claws of the Behemoth's right leg would be the first thing that would impact his body.
"Ahhh!" Vault screamed in pain as he felt his torso being damaged by the Behemoth's claws.
Those claws were sharp and made specifically to kill, the damage had been deep in his torso.
Those scars would undoubtedly be permanent if he survived.
But luckily for Vault that impact with the claws ended up throwing him a few steps back instead of condemning him to death under the weight of the Behemoth.
Sadly, Vault had been saved from death.
Fortunately, he was lying there, absolutely injured and unable to move on his own.
And there Luffy saw the opportunity to definitely defeat him by giving him a knockout blow since Vault barely managed to stay awake.
But.
The Ogre, the Minotaur, and the Cyclops pounced on Luffy at the same time after seeing that the Behemoth would not move again.
They could be simple beasts but they knew that Luffy had taken away the pleasure of raping Luu-Luu's small body unless they took it upon themselves to kill him.
The Ogre in particular wanted to tear Luffy apart for that fist that literally broke his manhood in two.
"Get off!" Said an annoyed Luffy. "Gum Gum Gattling!" And with that simple attack, three monsters that were formidable to many in this world had fallen totally defeated.
But in those monsters that didn't even deserve the use of Second Gear to gain more speed, Luffy lost a few seconds.
Seconds that a being who had seen everything was not going to waste.
From one of the roofs where no one had paid attention since everything was focused on the square a creature shot towards the wounded Vault and with its claws grabbed him by the shoulders to immediately take flight.
A Gargoyle being that could fly very fast. Although Vault is convinced of his plan in the end, Kin believes that it is possible to fail that's why he secretly had a gargoyle watching over everything with orders to take Vault if everything went wrong.
In the end that precaution had ended up saving the leader of the Black Dogs.
Thus it was that a bloody and furious Vault retreated through the skies of the city of Rad.
Olga pointed her scepter towards where the gargoyle was, however after a few seconds of concentration she lowered her scepter.
"Damn, I still have no power left for a final spell." Olga sighed knowing that if she tried a spell now with her remaining power she would not be enough to reach that gargoyle.
The only thing that would come out would be a weak spell that would disappear mid-range.
Vault had done it for practically nothing but in the end, he had escaped.
"Hmm, because he always manages to escape." An irritated Luffy grumbled who watched as the injured leader of the Black Dogs went further and further into the sky and again he had escaped.
At the moment only Luffy and Olga were the ones who could move since the rest of the people together with Prim, Alicia, and Chloe were still steel at the moment.
"Don't worry Luffy." Olga said with a kind smile that was now only reserved for Luffy and Chloe. "That trash barely escaped alive, Next time I don't think it will escape." And then Olga Discordia again did something that was he thought impossible She caressed Luffy's cheek as a sign that there were no problems.
Because the Queen of the Dark Elves acted so affectionate towards Luffy that could be seen by everyone. But since they were turned to steel right now they couldn't do anything except watch.
Prim felt like someone was squeezing her heart of the pink-haired girl right now she wished she was the one who was caressing Luffy's face.
Alicia on the part of her felt a great fury within herself and also wanted to drive her new sword into Olga and also be the one who was touching Luffy that way.
But on the part of her, Chloe instead of feeling jealous or something similar just felt the desire to be next to Olga caressing the other cheek of Luffy.
Luffy on the part of him still felt annoyed that Vault had escaped him again, but seeing Olga's attitude he was able to eliminate that annoyance.
"If you are right." Replied Luffy who returned to his usual good spirits. "Next time I will not escape."
Seeing how Luffy regained his good spirits, Olga couldn't help having a look of happiness in her amber eyes.
"I think my hunch is correct and you are the reason my powers are returning," Olga said.
"Me?" Asked a confused Luffy who pointed at himself.
"As you know my powers for some reason started to decay some time ago to the point of being nothing more than a pale shadow of what they once were," Olga said to which Luffy nodded.
He remembered hearing something like that.
"However my powers have started to recover after meeting you I don't think it's a coincidence." Olga smiled.
"Hmm, I don't know anything about magic." Answered a thoughtful Luffy. "But if you're getting your powers back then that's fine." He said happily for Olga.
"Hmmm… you really would be the only human happy with something like that." She thought with some humor since for any other human the idea that she was recovering her magical powers would simply make them feel terrified.
In that instant, the steel bodies that had given protection to Rad's people began to glow.
"Ah, it seems like it's time." Olga said as the effects of her spell wore off.
And indeed within a few moments, the steel bodies that were given to the others had disappeared to reveal her original human bodies.
Now many surprised humans were present.
All of them had seen how one of the most feared beasts of all had been defeated like an insect and how the supposedly invincible group of mercenaries was once again defeated and forced to flee.
With this defeat, Kuroinu's reputation had taken a very deep blow. Certainly not just anyone would be willing to join them now.
In addition, Vault was in a critical state, and without Kin to make the potions it could take several days for the remaining magicians in Kuroinu to replicate such effective potions. Basically for now the mercenaries couldn't make any big moves until Vault recovered.
"As expected, Olga-sama's Asutoron is still as effective as ever." Chloe said casually since she already knew that technique.
"W-What was that?" On the side of her, Alicia was not so calm after being turned into a motionless statue of steel without warning that she could see and hear everything.
I mean she just felt too weird.
"My body turned to steel..." Prim muttered who remembered that despite not knowing very well how it happened, she at least felt very safe in that state.
And finally, the inhabitants of Rad only looked at each other in clear confusion because of what had happened to them.
"As I already said, Asutoron is a defensive spell that turns whoever I want to protect into steel so that they are not harmed by anyone," Olga explained again but this time with a little more detail. "Despite its effectiveness, it has a limit. of time and I can only use it once a day."
"I can already remember why you were so feared." Alicia muttered to herself with magic like that it was natural that the war had lasted so long.
On the other hand, Prim immediately went to see a certain immobile girl who was still on stage.
"Luu-Luu, are you okay?" A worried Prim asked when she saw that Luu-Luu was simply there motionless continuing to look at Luffy with eyes full of astonishment.
But hearing her name being called by Prim's voice the orange-haired girl regained her senses.
The first thing she did was put on her underwear (which wasn't much and she was in full view but those were Eostia's standards) and then she started running towards Luffy.
Luffy saw how she ran towards him but when he did not feel any hostility and remembered that she was Alicia's friend and Prim he decided to stay still her instinct told him that it was the best.
And then Luu-Luu jumped onto Luffy's chest which she hugged as if her life depended on it. Any other man with the full strength of Luu-Luu would have broken his ribs in that hug but for Luffy, it was no problem.
"T-Thank you!" Not being able to anymore, Luu-Luu began to cry in Luffy's chest after being saved along with her virginity.
The very thought of that monster with her huge member forcibly taking her virginity was too terrifying for the Halfling.
The inhabitants stared in utter amazement at a totally unknown facet of the Warrior Princess who always had an air of confidence around her.
Alicia realized from the looks that she was earning that scene so she had to act fast to protect her friend's reputation.
"All of you go make sure there are no injuries!" Command Alicia to the civilians who were watching the scene.
Knowing that Alice was a Warrior Princess whose authority was comparable to that of Luu-Luu the inhabitants of Rad instantly accepted those orders.
So now Luffy had been left alone in that square along with three Warrior Princesses and two Dark Elves.
Oh yeah, and the three monsters he had defeated were still unconscious.
Now the only sound that could be heard was that of Luu-Luu's crying who wouldn't let go of Luffy.
Alicia couldn't help feeling a slight pang in her chest when she saw how Luu-Luu was hugging Luffy, almost as if she wanted to be the one hugging the Pirate's chest herself.
"I never expected to see Luu-Luu acting like this." She couldn't help but comment on Prim who surprisingly contained the desire to want to be in Luffy's arms as well.
Usually, Luu-Luu was one of those who had great confidence even more so on the battlefield. In fact, this was the first time she had seen the Halfling cry.
Yet Prim could understand what it felt like to know that one's virginity would be taken by force and there was nothing one could do to stop it as she felt when Vault said he was going to rape her during the attack on Feoh.
"Y-You really have my g-gratitude." She said through tears Luu-Luu.
"Okay, you're friends with Alicia and Prim so you're also my friend." He said with his typical Luffy smile. "Besides since that bastard Bulk was here I was going to come kick her ass."
Having been turned into steel, the only thing that Luu-Luu could do was see how everything progressed and how that boy defeated the monsters who planned to rape her and then cause damage to Vault.
So the enemies were gone and she was fine.
Yet even she would be terrified and emotionally fragile after a misfortune almost occurred. That is why she immediately embraced the figure that had saved her at the right time.
However, this situation was interrupted by a certain voice of a person who had already thought about what the next step should be.
"I will send a report of the whole situation to Celestine-sama," Alicia said. "At this point, it is better to unite the Alliance of the Seven Shields to end the threat of the mercenaries."
Next to her Prim nodded seeing that at this point that was the best option. If all of them were together then surely something could be done to end the danger faster and even more if Luffy along with Olga and Chloe also participated.
"Celestine Lucross," Chloe repeated softly, That was the name of the Elf who was supposedly the reincarnation of a goddess and the leader of the Seven Shields Alliance.
Chloe had never seen her in person but from rumors she assumed that Celestine had enormous power but even if she went against Celestine, Chloe would continue with her mission to protect Olga.
"Sounds good to me." Olga finally said those words after some thought. "While I don't like the idea of directly seeing Celestine right now, your help will be essential to crush that trash once and for all."
One could clearly tell that Celestine did not seem to be Olga's favorite person for reasons not even known to Chloe herself.
"Hmm… So is that Celestine the leader of her group?" Luffy asked Alicia as if the fact that Luu-Luu was still hanging on his chest didn't matter.
"Right," Alicia nodded. "I'm sure she'll know what to do." From the way she said it, Alicia had genuine confidence in Celestine.
"And it's not just that," Olga added.
That earned a look of confusion from the others.
"As we could now be considered allies of two of the Warrior Princesses," Olga said indicating to Alicia and Prim. "I believe that someone like Celestine will allow us to enter their castle if we are considered allies of you." And more than a question that was a declaration by the Queen of the Dark Elves.
"Knowing Celestine-sama, I think she will." Prim nodded knowing how kind the Seven Shield Alliance Leader was and that she would definitely let Olga and Chloe into her castle if she found out about the help that she was giving. They gave in repel the attacks to Feoh and Rad.
"In that case in the great library that she owns for sure, there will be information about the island that you are looking for Luffy." Said Olga who was still seeking to fulfill her promise because of her pride as her queen.
"Awesome!" Luffy said.
Those who weren't Dark Elves didn't know that Luffy was planning to leave, they didn't know that Luffy's time in Eostia was merely temporary.
"Then we will need a place to stay," Olga said. "I don't have enough energy left to use another Ruura that I sent to Feoh."
That's when Luu-Luu stopped hugging Luffy's chest and finally separated from him having already cried enough.
"Y-Yes, everyone can stay in my castle." Said nodding with a smile The orange-haired girl besides that she would feel safer if Luffy slept in the same castle.
Even being someone with a strong personality, Luu-Luu could not simply recover from an experience like that but at the same time being someone so strong she with only one night's rest would be as good as new the next morning.
"Very good." Luffy nodded who didn't see any problem. "But first there's only one thing I need to know." He said in a serious tone of voice.
Hearing Luffy's serious voice, the Warrior Princesses and Dark Elves tensed a bit wondering what Luffy could say with that tone now that the enemies had been repelled.
"Can I eat that one?" Luffy asked with a slight trickle of drool as he pointed at the Minotaur.
Instantly a drop of sweat appeared to everyone present who believed that Luffy was going to say something important even though food was important to him.
But at least that meant that Luffy was as usual and with a Luffy who was as usual everything would be fine.
AUTHOR'S NOTES:
Well Luu-Luu has been saved and with that another of the Warrior Princesses ends up with Luffy.
In the end I don't know if the development was the best and if the events of saving Luu-Luu deserved a chapter focused exclusively on that but I still feel that it was a good thing. But if it wasn't, please tell me so I don't make this same mistake.
Predictably, Vault's plan failed in quick succession. In the end, a beast like that was no match for a Luffy who had advanced so much in Rusukaina and already has a very good command of Haki.
I know he may disappoint some but that short battle is meant to show Vault that if he wants to defeat Luffy then he would need a greater power regardless of the risks. So this is planned.
Plus I promise you something more extensive the next time Luffy has to fight.
Also since he lost his best wizard and now he will be out of action for a while maybe the end of Kuroinu is drawing near or more desperate tactics are coming.
Well, since another battle has taken place, I have thought that the next chapter may be one where Luffy begins to have a scene with each of the respective girls to show those ties.
Also since Celestine has been mentioned maybe we can even see her.
And not only that, as Prim realized the identity of another of the traitors, then it goes without saying who will be the next Warrior Princess that Luffy will meet.
I thank everyone for the support that has been given to this story. I did not think it would go so far: 3
