Chapitre 46: Every king has an eunuch
Wealth, knowledge, skills, and many other things.
Masa felt satisfied with everything and even more satisfied when he looked at the two women on his bed.
Carina slept soundly like a sleeping princess, but Perona slept in an ugly manner and even drooled on his pillow as she muttered in her sleep with a strange expression, "Beast... large snake... but... it's kind of cute."
"....."
Masa decided to ignore Perona and went to take a bath, ready to start the new day.
Thriller Bark was over, and his destination was Water 7. Naturally, on this trip, he believed that he could gain many things. Nevertheless, it didn't mean that everything was over in the Thriller Back since there was something that he had to solve first.
"Hyohohoho, did you have a good sleep last night, Masa?"
When Masa entered the kitchen, Brook, who was enjoying a morning tea, greeted him enthusiastically, but his words contained some hidden meanings.
"Yup."
"...how lucky."
Masa didn't say anything, but he also knew that Brook's trouble was clear; this guy was all bones, and Brook had lost all of his flesh, including that "part."
If there was something that Brook could be grateful for, it was the fact that Brook still had his hair, but then, what made Masa curious was how this guy could still poop even if Brook was all bones.
This was the mystery of the world, he thought.
Frankly, there were many things that couldn't be explained in the world of One Piece, and even his "Achieve" ability was so magical that it could barely be explained with logic.
Nevertheless, Masa looked at Brook and asked, "What do you plan after this?"
"I..." Brook hesitated for a moment as he looked at Masa, even though he had no eyes. Frankly, at that moment, he was in a dilemma since he had to admit that it was comfortable to stay with Masa, but then, his past identity made him feel quite inferior.
Pirates.
Unlike Luffy, who became a pirate to have an adventure, while as a pirate, Brook wasn't cruel and still had humanity within him that he didn't attack the weak; he knew his past wasn't that good either.
Masa wasn't such a good guy either, yet even so, Brook felt that this young man was blinding as he knew that Masa had something to achieve, and this something must be interesting.
Brook wished to follow, but inwardly, was it even okay for him?
As for women?
Well, he was satisfied that he could tease the maids around as they looked at him like trash.
It was a strange feeling, but he had to say it was nice!
Brook felt like he had awoken something.
As for Carina and Perona, Brook wasn't an idiot, and he knew what he could and couldn't do. Well, he didn't have a tool, so all he could do was just tease, which made him somehow become depressed and cry.
"...what's wrong?"
"N-Nothing!"
Brook might not have eyes, but he can cry. Still, he thought of Masa's problem quietly, thinking what he would do after this. He had lost all of his comrades, alone on this dark sea for so long, and to be honest, he wasn't sure what to do.
If there was something or someone that he wanted to meet, it would be Laboon, the child whale who followed him and his crew at that time.
Yet, as so much time had passed, was Laboon still alive?
Brook didn't know, and because of that, he didn't know what to do, especially when he was all alone in this world.
"Do you want to follow me?"
"..."
Brook looked at Masa in a daze and asked in disbelief. "C-Can I?"
"Yeah, come with me."
Masa felt like it would be terrible if there was no fighter among them.
Carina and Perona, those two women, he didn't count them to fight, especially when he also knew their desire to fight was almost zero.
Carina aside, while Perona had a good Devil Fruit, this woman didn't have much of an interest in working hard to train, so Masa also didn't intend to expect her, and it was just enough for her to help him to calm his stress whenever he needed her, especially when he had to say, it was quite fun to hold her pigtails.
'Moreover, those long legs...'
Masa felt like he wouldn't get bored no matter how long it was to hold those long, slender legs.
'Moria, you have a good daughter.'
"....." Moria.
Nevertheless, Masa also knew that it was necessary to have a good follower, and Brook was a good candidate. This guy was loyal even if this guy was a bit perverted, but then again, were there any men that weren't a pervert?
More importantly, even if Brook wanted to, this guy didn't have that part on his body, so... well... what could he do, then?
Still, precautions also needed to be taken since everyone was a man, and all men had a nature that couldn't be suppressed. Even King Arthur, who was loved by many, was betrayed by his closest knight, Lancelot.
However, for Masa, who could control anyone as he wished to, there was no need to fear.
Lastly, and more importantly, Brook didn't have that part, okay?
In other words, this guy was an eunuch!
Like the king or emperor in the Middle East or China, each of them had eunuchs by their side.
Masa thought that he could do the same.
"But I am a pirate..." Brook felt that he wasn't worthy to follow Masa.
"You are all bones; who can tell that you are one anyway?"
"But if someone knows, then I will bring you trouble."
"I don't lack money. I can redeem your bounty and turn you into an innocent." Masa looked at Brook and said, "Don't underestimate the power of money."
For someone like Brook, who cared about his comrades dearly, Masa felt that there was no need to hesitate to bring him into his group.
Moreover, Masa also wanted to learn more about Brook's Devil Fruit as the power that made people able to live once again was rare, and it would be amazing if he could duplicate Brook's Devil Fruit.
As for Luffy, sorry, Masa didn't care.
"...."
"You really are..."
Brook looked at Masa with a helpless gaze, but then he stood up and kneeled in front of Masa.
"I will do my best to serve you."
"...don't be so exaggerated, but I am glad to have you, Brook."
With that, Masa had Brook; then what about Moria and his group?
Just kidding, Masa didn't care about them except for Perona, and he also didn't plan to make a lot of crews within his ship since his power was enough. Nevertheless, it might be a great idea to make them an affiliate group that could help him take care of the small fries that annoyed him since if he handled everything on his own; it would be too troublesome, right?
Still, he was going to be busy, but he didn't hate this busyness, he thought.
At the same time, he couldn't help but remind Masa from DxD to devour the holy property so their light power could become even stronger.
