Ben walked to the centre of the deck once more but on the other side. The Miss Love Duck had more space on the deck now. The distance between the sides was pretty great now. He walked and saw Conis, Maya and Saphir looking at the ocean. They all were smiling.
Conis was wearing a pink ruffled apron. The soft pink color complemented her blonde hair and fair complexion beautifully. The frilled trim along the edges and the little bow at the chest enhance the apron's delicate, feminine style. He could see straps of her V-shaped bikini going on her neck. The apron had a heart-shaped pocket. It fitted around her waist perfectly and saw her figure. It was backless. Conis was wearing her short blue skirt that just covered her bikini bottom. He also saw the flame on her back.
Maya was wearing a chic black-and-white checkered apron. The apron's design had a sleek black body contrasted by black-and-white gingham trim. The halter-neck tie and crisscross back straps emphasized her upper body. Her large chest could be seen. There were straps on her shoulder. The flared skirt went just above her knees. She was wearing a short white skirt underneath like Conis. Ben thought she had a flattering hourglass shape.
Saphir was wearing a sweet pink apron. The apron went from her chest down to her knees. It covered her up. There was a large pocket at the front. He could see some cleavage. It was backless. Ben could see the low-rise bikini bottoms had multiple narrow straps on each hip. Her ass cheeks were slightly exposed. Ben thought she looked beautiful.
"Hello ladies," Ben said.
Conis, Maya and Saphir all looked towards Ben. They saw Ben wearing just a red speedo. They could see the outline of his penis.
The three girls went slightly red. "Ben," Conis said. She thought he looked amazing. He had an amazing figure. She would often hear stories of warriors. She imagined them looking like him.
"Ben," Maya said as well. Her eyes widened. She had a red blush on her cheeks. She thought he was a God. His body resembled one. The Goddess had described him and Ben met the description. She panted.
"Wow," Saphir said with a big smile on her face. He did look amazing. She had seen him naked lots of times now and she still was amazed every single time.
Ben thought he might be distracting them and it might be inappropriate. "Should I wear something else?" Ben asked.
"No," they all said in unison.
Ben chuckled. "This must be very different for you all," Ben remarked.
"We have done lots together," Saphir responded.
"Yes but this is different like you said Ben," Maya responded. "But a good different," she added.
"I think so as well, it is a good different and thank you for letting us choose what we wear," Conis added.
"You can wear whatever you like," Ben responded. "I trust you all," he said. The girls smiled.
"Maya, it's your first time here at a party like this," Ben said. "Are you okay?" Ben asked.
Maya nodded. "I was a little nervous at first but my sisters convinced me it will be fine," Maya responded.
He thought his girls were the best wing men he could ask for. Ben smiled. "You are safe here," Ben said.
"I know," Maya responded and nodded and looked at Conis and Saphir and nodded.
"Maya, your dream to be a Battle Priest," Ben said. "I have been thinking about it, before you got your devil fruit you were able to perform rituals," Ben added.
"Yes, I remember that," Saphir said. She remembered the weather changing.
"I do, it happens in certain circumstances. It was something I was born with," Maya responded.
Ben thought there were many abilities in the world. While most can be classified or linked to haki and devil fruits others could not like Marianne`s paint powers or Elizabello II`s King Punch. He thought Maya might have something similar. "Okay, Maya you are strong but that ability is unique to you, we can work on it together and bring it out," Ben said.
Maya smiled. She thought back to the Goddess`s book which was given to her by her Grandma. There was a story of the Battle Priest who could invoke her powers to fight alongside her lover. "Thank you Ben. I will for you," Maya responded. She thought the Goddess would show her the way.
Ben smiled. "We can work on it later, I know your other dream was to marry me and be the Priestess when I marry the other girls," Ben said. "Vivi wanted a royal wedding and I was thinking Mary Geoise might be a good place," Ben added.
"That is where the Celestial Dragons live," Saphir gasped.
"Not after we are done with them," Ben responded. He punched his palm. "I plan on taking it over after 2 years," Ben responded.
"We will follow you Captain," Conis said.
Maya nodded. "It will be a fitting place for the Pirate Harem King to marry," Maya responded.
"That or Laugh Tale, the last island," Ben remarked.
"I will get stronger and defeat everyone," Saphir said as she pumped her fist in the air.
Ben chucked. "Yes you will," Ben responded. "You have already learnt two of the six techniques," Ben added. "You all have," she said.
"Kalifa is a very good teacher," Conis responded.
"She is," Saphir agreed.
Ben thought that was one reason. However, there was more. The girls were learning at an incredible speed.
"Conis, your first dream has been fulfilled to open a cafe," Ben said.
"And it was all thanks to you Ben. Thank you Ben," Conis said with affection.
"It was a team effort, I will fulfill all your dreams," Ben stated.
"And I am seeing this world with you and my sisters," Conis said. The flame on her back blazed.
Ben smiled.
He walked towards Conis and placed his hand gently on her cheek. Conis tilted her head, eyes sparkling. Then, Ben leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips. The kiss was tender, brief, but full of warmth. When they pulled away, Conis looked down shyly, a soft smile playing on her lips.
"What was that for?" Conis asked.
"Cant I just kiss my lover?" Ben chucked. Conis nodded.
Ben turned to Maya next. He stepped in, wrapped an arm around her waist, and brought her close. Their lips met in a slow, affectionate kiss. She leaned into it, her arms circling his neck briefly. When they parted, Maya brushed his cheek with her hand.
"I love you," she said quietly. She thought of the Goddess.
Finally, Ben turned to Saphir, whose blue eyes had been watching with quiet intensity. Ben kissed her next, his hands resting on her waist. Saphir's lips met his with a softness that lingered. When the kiss ended, she leaned her forehead against his.
"We're here because of you," she said. "And we'll stay with you, no matter what comes," she added.
Ben looked at the three of them, Conis, Maya, Saphir. His heart swelled with affection. "And I'll protect you all," he said. "With everything I have," he added.
The girls all smiled. "You should go see the others," Conis said. Maya nodded.
"Okay, I love you all," Ben said as he walked away.
