Chapitre 61: Lucky Bastard.. again
The sunny skies reflected off the ocean as the Straw Hat Pirates sailed toward a new island, where rumors spoke of an ancient treasure hidden deep within the mountains. But as usual, there was one thing on Kikidori's mind that didn't have much to do with treasure.
"Boo," Kikidori groaned from where he was lounging on the deck of the ship, staring up at the clouds. "Treasure again? I want something *different*."
Nami, who was flipping through a map, rolled her eyes. "We're pirates, Kikidori. *Treasure* is our thing. Stop being so dramatic."
Kikidori smirked, his arms tucked behind his head. "Yeah, yeah, whatever. But can we stop by a hot spring? I could really use a nice soak. Get all the stress out of my muscles, you know?"
Nami sighed, clearly annoyed but ultimately agreeing. "Fine. We can stop by a hot spring, but we're not making this a regular thing."
Within twenty minutes, the crew had docked at a peaceful island, dotted with lush forests and hot spring resorts. They had no time to waste, so the crew quickly made their way to the bathhouse at the foot of a large mountain. After a brief discussion, the group decided to separate into male and female sides, as was the custom.
Kikidori, having no clue what the word "modesty" meant, was already headed toward the men's side, excited to unwind. But as he was walking in, he realized something: the *smell* of hot spring water was far more inviting than he had originally thought.
"I should just explore this place," he muttered to himself, thinking about the peaceful bath and how it would help him forget about the chaos of being a Yonko for a little while.
However, as fate would have it, Kikidori, completely oblivious to the layout of the bathhouse, managed to get distracted halfway through his quest for the perfect spring. With his mind on nothing but relaxation, he ended up wandering into the wrong section of the building entirely—straight into the **women's** hot spring.
The moment Kikidori stepped through the curtain, his eyes widened.
"Whoa..." he gasped, his gaze immediately locking onto the steaming water where the women were already relaxing, completely unaware of his presence.
There was **Ere'ana**, her long hair flowing down her back, eyes closed as she soaked in the warmth, unaware of the boy in the doorway.
And then, there was **Nami**, who was leaning back against the rocks with her arms spread out, a slight smile on her face.
And of course, **Robin** and the others—he could barely believe his luck. Or maybe, at this point, his **bad luck**.
Kikidori froze, his face turning bright red, and a giant nosebleed instantly erupted from his nose. He was about to fall forward into the water when he caught himself on a nearby rock, trying to stammer out a sentence.
"Uh… I... I didn't—uh—mean to—uh...! Sorry!"
It was too late. The noise he made instantly got the attention of the girls, and their heads snapped toward him.
"*KIKIDORI!*" Nami, Robin, and Ere'ana all shouted in unison, their faces immediately turning crimson with shock and embarrassment.
Kikidori, still completely stunned by the sight in front of him and having no idea what to do, quickly turned around to escape, but not before his **second nosebleed** started to gush like a fountain. His body jerked, and he stumbled over his own feet, trying to retreat out of the hot spring area as fast as possible.
"I—*I'm sorry*! I didn't mean to—!" Kikidori's voice was high-pitched and strained, his mind barely processing what was happening.
But of course, it didn't stop there.
"What do you think you're doing, pervert?!" Ere'ana shouted, leaping out of the water to chase him down.
"YOU'RE DEAD!" Nami screamed, hopping out of the spring and ready to chase after him, too.
As the girls chased him out of the bathhouse, Kikidori could barely see straight with his nose practically pouring out blood. "I swear, I didn't mean to... it's just... *boobies* and... butts..." he mumbled to himself, clearly not helping his case.
From behind a tree, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji had been watching the entire ordeal, and they couldn't stop laughing.
"*Kikidori is a man of culture,*" Sanji said between fits of laughter, wiping away tears.
"*He's got a death wish,*" Zoro muttered, shaking his head. "He's lucky he didn't get knocked out right there."
Luffy, on the other hand, grinned widely, his arms stretched out like always. "You should've seen his face! It was like a tomato!"
Meanwhile, Kikidori was doing his best to escape the wrath of the women, still covered in nosebleeds as he dashed down the hill toward the ship, leaving a trail of blood behind him. His thoughts were all over the place, but the one thing he couldn't stop thinking about was the **fact** that he had just accidentally walked in on all of them.

Back on the Sunny, Kikidori returned, barely able to look at anyone, his face still bright red from his embarrassing mishap. He was met with an array of cold glares from the girls, particularly Nami, who had stormed up to him with steam practically rising from her ears.
"You idiot!" she snapped, her fist clenched. "What the hell is wrong with you?!"
"I—I didn't know! It was an accident!" Kikidori stammered, still rubbing his nose.
"That's no excuse!" Ere'ana shouted, though there was a small smirk on her face, clearly amused by Kikidori's flustered state.
Robin, despite her normally calm demeanor, couldn't help but smile a little at Kikidori's expense. "I think you've learned your lesson, Kikidori," she said dryly, making sure he knew how embarrassed he should be.
Kikidori rubbed his neck, still trying to save face. "I didn't die, did I? So… I think I came out okay!"
Luffy, ever the carefree leader, patted Kikidori on the back and laughed. "Don't worry about it! That was hilarious!"
Despite the fact that Kikidori had caused chaos in the hot springs, the Straw Hats knew how to bounce back from a good laugh. But for Kikidori, it was a moment he would never forget.
