One Piece: I'm Destined to Be the Son-in-Law King!-Chapter 102: Scent of a Woman

Night fell over the East Blue Dormitory.

All the officers of the East Blue base were still caught up in the excitement of the day's duels, too thrilled to fall asleep.

"Hey, where'd Black Hair Bro go?"

"He's probably out on a date with Vice Admiral Doll."

"Heh, I'll tell you the truth, I knew those two were up to something a long time ago. That kid's always been batting his eyelashes at Vice Admiral Doll."

"Guess he won't be back tonight, eh?"

"Unforgivable! How envious!"

The officers' eyes were filled with envy, but not much jealousy. The gap between Black Hair and them was too great; he was beyond the level where jealousy was warranted.

Black Hair deserved this.

"Hey, should we go take a peek?"

"Yeah, let's go, let's go!"

----

Doll's quarters.

The interior had clearly been carefully arranged. The furniture was brand new, the curtains had been replaced, and a fluffy carpet had been laid on the living room floor.

Under the soft light, two sets of clean plates, bowls, knives, and forks were set on the dining table, along with an unopened bottle of Sherry.

Doll was alone in the kitchen, wearing a deep red backless evening dress with an apron over it, frying prime steaks and preparing a delicate dinner.

"Knock, knock."

A knock sounded on the door.

"Coming," Doll responded softly, eagerly opening the door, her eyes lighting up when she saw Roya in his suit.

Roya stood in front of the door, wearing a well-fitting charcoal gray suit with a white shirt and dark red tie. His hair was neatly combed, and even his stubble had been carefully trimmed.

He looked much more mature than usual.

Handsome enough to make her heart race.

Roya smiled and took out the bouquet hidden behind his back. There were no flower shops on the island, so he had specially picked these flowers in the Forest.

"For you."

"Thank you, I love them."

Doll held the bouquet, her eyebrows curved into a smile. She took a gentle sniff, feeling very content. The look in her eyes as she gazed at Roya became even more affectionate.

"Come on in."

"Okay."

Roya smiled and said "Okay," then went to sit on the sofa, quietly admiring Doll as she busied herself in the kitchen.

Soon, dinner was served.

"Clink!"

The two gently clinked their glasses.

Roya took a sip, gazing into Doll's eyes.

"You look beautiful tonight."

"Thank you."

Doll blushed and avoided his gaze.

That little rascal, why is he so sweet-talking tonight?

I'm about to lose my cool!

The woman feigned composure.

"Let's eat."

"Okay."

Roya smiled as he picked up his knife and fork, savoring the gourmet food the woman had carefully prepared, his mind drifting back to the three-month Training Camp.

It wasn't easy.

The two ate in silence, occasionally exchanging a few words, both enjoying the atmosphere, even finding it extravagant.

Joining the Marines, especially after being promoted to an Officer, meant being essentially cut off from romance. Responsibility and love were often at odds.

Doll rested her chin on her Hand, quietly watching Roya.

She hadn't thought about having any future with Roya. As a Headquarters Vice Admiral, she had her own pursuits and responsibilities, and she couldn't give up everything for Roya.

She only wanted one thing.

To cherish the present.

----

When dinner was over, Doll stood up, turned on the music player, and wrapped her arms intimately around Roya's neck, her alluring eyes seeming to drip with water.

"Roya, let's dance."

"Okay."

Roya's Hands climbed onto the woman's waist.

Accompanied by the elegant tango melody, the two moved in the living room, sometimes slowly, sometimes with quick, intricate footwork.

As the music swelled, the woman went from reserved to completely relaxed, no longer suppressing her emotions, and constantly laughing with joy.

"Roya, you Dance Skills are so good."

"I can do even better."

Roya pulled Doll into his arms, their chests pressed tightly together, and lowered his head to gently sniff the scent of the woman's neck.

Then, they separated.

Roya took Doll's Hand and flung the woman outwards, then forcefully pulled her back into his embrace when their Hands were taut.

"Haha..."

Spinning, crisscrossing steps...

Passionate and fiery!

If there weren't so many curious onlookers outside the window, perhaps the atmosphere in the Room would have been even hotter.

When the dance ended, Roya bit the woman's earlobe.

"We should turn off the lights."

"Okay."

"Finger Pistol!"

"Shatter!"

The lights went out permanently.

At the same time, a small, smoking hole appeared in the window.

The officers all wore dejected expressions.

"Lights out."

"Let's go, let's go, back to the Dormitory!"

"Tsk, tsk, didn't expect Black Hair Bro to have such great Dance Skills."

"No wonder he can get Vice Admiral Doll."

"Vice Admiral Doll looked so beautiful Tonight!"

"After I get back, I'm going to learn how to dance too!"

The officers left, feeling sour. They had seen what they could see, so they were satisfied. The rest of the time was for the two of them. They knew their place.

----

The night was long.

The next morning, Roya returned to the Dormitory, feeling refreshed.

"Hey, what happened to you guys?"

"Nothing."

The officers all had dark circles under their eyes, and the looks they gave Roya were full of resentment, like abandoned little wives.

We're all here to suffer through the Training Camp, so why are you the only one living so freely? Getting first place and showing off is one thing, but you even get Vice Admiral Doll's favor.

Damn it, they weren't jealous at all!

When it was time to gather,

"Hey, Vice Admiral Doll isn't here today?"

"She's on leave."

"..."

Everyone looked at Roya.

Bastard, you're hiding things well!

Roya calmly turned and left.

He had almost lost his stamina last night, even being pinned down at one point, but he had "The World". In the second round, he had the woman eating out of his hand.

On the way to the Island Training Field, many Students stopped and paid attention when they saw Roya, their eyes full of respect.

"Dao Force Value: 842!"

After yesterday's Duel, many Students had been constantly monitoring the Dao Force rankings. When Roya's Dao Force jumped to first place, it immediately set off the entire Training Camp.

No one had come close to that in the last ten years!

Even the Students who disliked Roya admired him from the bottom of their hearts. Although his personal conduct was quite bad, his strength was enough to earn their respect.

This was a Military Camp, and strength spoke for itself!

When he arrived at the Forest Training Field, Ain approached Roya.

"Black Hair, Teacher Zephyr wants to see you."

"Understood, Ain."

Roya followed Ain to the nearby Camp. Zephyr was sitting at his desk, organizing the Students' Documents.

In recent days, Zephyr had not rushed to guide the Students in their Training, but had focused on observing them. The performance of each Student had been recorded.

Looking at the Documents piled high on the desk, Roya couldn't help but admire Zephyr's dedication. Even Students with ordinary Talent were treated with care.

That's what you call professional!

"Instructor Zephyr!"

"Mm."

Seeing Roya's arrival, Zephyr's face broke into a smile. "Roya, I want to ask if you want to become my disciple and train under me."

"Disciple?"

Roya paused.

"Instructor Zephyr, does that mean you want me to join the Headquarters New Recruit Camp?"

"Not just that."

Zephyr shook his head with a smile. "You have extraordinary close-quarters combat talent. If you can receive good guidance, your future will be limitless. Therefore, I want to pass on all the techniques I've mastered to you!"

"..."

Roya took a deep breath.

He wants to take me as his apprentice!
