章 47: Precious
"Moria-sama, thank you for your care till now."
Perona's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Moria. "I will leave now."
"Yeah..."
Moria also felt depressed and sad since Perona wasn't the only one who thought of himself as a parent since he also thought of her as a daughter.
This was why Absolom and Hogback, who were a pervert, had always respected and followed Perona's selfishness since there was no doubt that Perona's status in the eyes of Moria was above all of them.
Watching some of the zombies helping Perona's luggage to Masa's ship, Moria couldn't help but think of their first meeting and also felt angry, especially toward Masa, who had taken down his daughter-like existence.
'Bastard!'
Moria might not be a good person; he had killed and done many evil things in this world, but even so, he had feelings, and this was why he sought out zombies, an unkillable creature that wouldn't make him sad if he lost them, yet he realized how wrong this decision of his was.
Moria had become weak, and due to that, he almost lost everything.
Whether it was his crew, ship, or life, he would lose everything.
If it wasn't for Perona, who had attracted Masa's attention, Moria knew that they wouldn't be able to keep their lives.
It was a shame for him to live, or rather, he wished to die at that moment since how could he feel happy to have his life saved by sacrificing his daughter to Masa?
Yet, when he saw that Perona had to pay, he knew that he had to stay alive and become stronger, or else Perona's sacrifice would be meaningless.
"Take care of yourselves, Moria-sama. Don't forget to eat."
"...I know."
The more they talked, the more tears couldn't be stopped.
Yet, Masa didn't care about their interaction since he knew well that Perona was as good as fallen. Instead of someone who had taken care of her from childhood, she chose him, a man who was almost killed by her father-like existence, and someone who she had just met lately.
If there was something special between them, it was the fact that he was the one who took her virginity.
'Why is it like a hentai-plot?'
Masa felt conflicted, but when he was fishing lazily on the side of the pier of his ship, someone suddenly lay on his lap. He lowered his head and looked at Carina, who used his lap as a pillow lazily like a cat.
As she noticed his gaze, Carina looked at him meaningfully and asked, "Happy?"
"Yup."
Masa put one of his hands on Carina's head and softly caressed her. "Thanks."
"No problem." Carina let out a helpless sigh and said, "I will die if no one helps me after all." If she was strong, then she might have been able to handle Masa alone and wouldn't have shared him with anyone, but she was weak, okay?
Her body would be wrecked sooner or later, so she pulled Perona with her, as she could see Masa's interest in Perona.
Frankly, during their stay on the ship, Carina often tried to make the maids seduce Masa so she could have someone to help her, but unexpectedly, he didn't show much interest in those maids. Instead, he was more interested in Perona, who appeared quite unique.
'It seems his taste is quite special?'
Or did he only choose a special woman?
Carina might be weak, but even so, she had many talents, after all.
Perona's appearance might be unique, but she had eaten a Devil Fruit.
So, even if Masa was quite a pervert, he was quite choosy, Carina thought. Still, feeling his hand that held her hand gently, she smiled, thinking that it was good to be like this, but she had to say, it felt a bit strange when she could share him with others.
After all, there was no doubt Masa was her most precious treasure.
"It feels weird."
"What's so weird?" Carina looked at Masa curiously.
"Do you remember our first meeting?"
"...how could I not? You wanted to kill me, after all."
The beginning of their relationship was definitely far from good, especially when Masa wanted to kill Carina to hide his identity. It was just because she was lucky that she could escape from the control of his ability and because she was beautiful that she could escape and become his woman.
In the beginning, even if her heart swayed by him as he had taken her virginity, she also wanted to escape from him since it was impossible for her to fall for him so fast, even if his appearance was so handsome.
If there was a reason why she stayed, it was because she wanted to steal his money, as he had a lot of money.
Yet, the more she stayed with him, the more she realized how special it was, and everything changed after their meeting with the World Noble.
Watching him kill the leader of this world and also fight the admiral to let her escape, she couldn't help but fall completely for him. What kind of woman wouldn't fall for a man who would fight the world for her?
For her, he was almost dying.
Still, was it love?
Or was it his guilt since he almost killed her or due to the beginning of their relationship?
"Yes, because of that, I never thought that you had become an important existence to me."
Watching his gentle smile as he looked at her, Carina felt like crying somehow, but it wasn't her style to show she was weak. Regardless, she clung to his stomach for a moment, trying to calm herself, then said, "Hmph! You said that, but you just slept with another woman last night."
"..."
Masa was speechless, but who allowed him to sleep with Perona, then?
"Well, how about I sing for you?"
"Oh?" Carina looked at Masa in surprise. She might often sing for him, but this would be his first time to sing for her. "Can you even sing?"
"I have a talented singer by my side, so how can I not?"
"Okay, sing! Sing!"
"...now?"
"Now!"
Masa didn't expect such a strong reaction, but he nodded. "Okay."
If there was something good about his ability, it was the fact that he could share anything, including the memories of many famous works, whether it was a song, story, or many others.
As the three Masas could share anything, naturally, those famous works in their respective worlds weren't going to be ignored as they could become a source of income for them.
Moreover, those works could also be used to seduce women, like his current situation.
Sitting in front of the piano, Masa glanced at Carina, who looked at him in expectation, waiting for him to sing.
Naturally, Brook and the others were also curious since they didn't expect that Masa wasn't just strong but could also sing.
"It's my first time to sing. Don't laugh if I am bad at it."
"I won't, so hurry up and play."
"Be patient, okay?"
Masa took a deep breath, feeling a bit shy, but as he had made up his mind, he decided to sing, starting by playing the piano within the ship as his soothing, gentle, and melodious voice sounded.
"You laugh
I hear your voice
Sun goes down as it always does
You wave and say that you will see me tomorrow
Though it seems common, I don't take it as a given
Nothing can replace the days I spent with you
My special, special, special."
(Song: Funky Monkey Babys - Taisetsu).
As Carina looked at him with a gentle smile and slightly morbid obsession in her eyes, Perona, who was outside, also quickly came to join, leaving Moria behind.
"....."
Moria fell in silence, snorting inwardly, thinking for Masa to sing such a sissy song, yet inwardly, he sighed in relief, knowing that at least, while this guy was a beast, he felt that Masa could take care of his daughter, Perona.
"My special, special, special."
Nevertheless, when Masa sang, everyone was quiet and closed their eyes, enjoying his song with a gentle smile on their faces.

It's been a fight all the time, so let it calm down for a moment.
