The island wasn't far.
And they had plenty of time.
So, Ryuya wasn't in a hurry.
Night fell, the sly moonlight hung in the air, showering the sea with its light.
Illuminating the boundless ocean.
Ryuya and the women ate the sea king they had just killed on the deck.
The sea king's meat was indeed chewy.
After grilling it and sprinkling some salt, it was a delicious treat.
It was especially rich in nutrients, providing a significant boost in blood energy.
Making one's physique stronger.
Cavendish, at this moment, had also woken up from his unconsciousness.
Seeing the grilled meat with its rich aroma, he felt like he was in hell.
He was extremely weak and needed the sea king meat to recover.
But Ryuya, this devil, ignored him.
He even used an illusion to move him to another location.
Even more infuriatingly, a large piece of grilled meat was placed in front of him!
But he was completely bound and couldn't reach it!!!
On the other side, Ryuya looked at the women, cut a piece of meat, and brought it to Roran's mouth.
Roran leaned against Ryuya, enjoying the cool night breeze, looking incredibly comfortable.
"Have you heard of the Cursed Holy Sword legend?"
Roran sat up and looked at Ryuya, repeating, "Cursed Holy Sword? What's that? Is it delicious?"
"Roran, that's not something to eat. Don't think about eating everything."
"Oh~"
Roran responded, but immediately, her gaze was drawn back to the sea king meat.
The enticing aroma made her eat heartily.
Gently stroking Roran's hair, Ryuya saw the women shake their heads, then explained, "Thousands of years ago, a cursed sword wreaked havoc on the world!
This blade absorbed the resentment and blood of countless people, bringing unprecedented slaughter and destruction.
It doesn't belong to any famous sword series; it's a very special blade.
It far surpasses the category of swords; it's a demonic sword.
Anyone controlled by this blade loses their mind.
Because although this cursed sword grants them immense power, their own strength isn't enough to wield this evil sword.
Therefore, every time this evil sword appears, it brings countless bloodshed!
Especially during a Red Moon, when the Cursed Holy Sword unleashes its full power. At that time, the Cursed Holy Sword merges with its user.
It's said that with a single swing, it can cleave the earth, invincible!"
Hearing Ryuya's words, the women were astonished.
"So the Cursed Holy Sword is incredibly powerful!"
"Although it might assimilate the user, for those who lack talent but crave power, it's like a divine elixir."
"If the Cursed Holy Sword could be tamed, it would complement its user."
Among the women, only Ain knew a lot about famous swords.
But even so, Ain had never heard of the Cursed Holy Sword.
"Ryuya-sama, what happened to the Cursed Holy Sword later?"
Hearing Ain's question, Ryuya took a sip of sake, looked at the moon in the sky, and softly said, "Later, it's said that during the war caused by the Cursed Holy Sword, a Woman appeared, purifying the blood and hatred absorbed by the Cursed Holy Sword, even sacrificing her life.
And this cursed sword was completely sealed on an island by the Woman."
After Ryuya finished speaking, except for Roran, who was still eating heartily, the other women were stunned.
They hadn't expected that such a thing as the Cursed Holy Sword existed in this world.
Ain glanced at the sword at her waist, her hand tightening on the hilt, feeling the solid feedback.
Ain said, "Ryuya-sama, on our future path, I will never lose my heart! I will only be the sword in your hand, Ryuya-sama!"
Hearing Ain's declaration, Kaya immediately said, "Ryuya, I will always be by your side, learning from you for life. No matter how much medical skill I learn, my medical skills will always be used for my own people!"
Perona, floating in the air, said, "Anyway, I was brought here by the Captain. No matter what happens, I'm sticking with the Captain."
Stella's face flushed slightly, "I will also serve the Master for my entire life."
Hearing her sisters' words, Roran recovered from her meal.
She looked at Ryuya and said, "There's only you in my heart."
Only Ryuya was in Roran's heart!
It was destined from the moment she opened her eyes.
She didn't know how she came to be.
She was already a young girl when she opened her eyes, but she had no memories from before.
Only Ryuya was everything to her!
Ryuya looked at the women, a smile on his lips.
Taking a napkin, he wiped Roran's mouth and said, "Then, please give me your guidance. I can guarantee that as long as you don't betray me, no matter what happens, you can always come to me for help!"
He, Ryuya, was extremely protective of his people!
As Ryuya finished speaking, the atmosphere on the warship reached its peak.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
The weather was exceptionally clear, a brilliant blue sky, with occasional seagulls flying by.
Ryuya bought a newspaper from a news bird.
As soon as he opened the newspaper, Roran crawled into Ryuya's arms.
Her soft body nestled against Ryuya's, Roran also looked at the newspaper.
She was currently learning to read, and she stammered, "Doflamingo...will...hold...an auction...on...Boll..."
Because Roran was very restless, she only had a few minutes to study each day.
But even so, Roran's learning speed was quite fast.
However, she made many mistakes.
"Look, this sentence means: Doflamingo will hold an auction in Sabaody Archipelago.
There will also be an auction for the Devil Fruit, a Logia-type Devil Fruit!
It's an auction you absolutely can't miss!
As Ryuya finished reading the headline,
an idea formed in his mind.
He glanced at the date.
It was still the promotional period, and there was still some time before the auction.
Then, Ryuya wasn't in a hurry.
After looking at the other news, Ryuya closed the newspaper.
Because he had already seen the outline of Asuka Island ahead.
"Everyone, prepare. We're about to land!"
