Uchiha Puppet Master, Starting from One Piece.

"Do you need my help?"

"What kind of help?"

Bai Yu asked.

"Should I help you push them away?"

Robin asked the question seriously, but his eyes clearly showed a hint of amusement.

Or rather—

She put down her wine glass, bent down, placed her hands on the back of Bai Yu's chair, and wrapped her arms around him from behind.

"Should I join too?"

Bai Yu's breath hitched.

It wasn't because I was nervous, but because several different scents suddenly filled my nostrils.

Robin's breath was very close, so close that he could feel the warm breath she exhaled as she spoke brushing against his ear.

Your ears are red.

Robin whispered in his ear, his voice so low it sounded like a sigh.

"Is it because you've been drinking, or because—"

She didn't finish her sentence, but just chuckled softly.

The laughter, like a feather, gently landed on the nerve endings of the white feather.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?"

Mirajane's voice came from the other side of the table.

She stood up, leaning on the table, and walked over the haphazardly placed bottles.

"You've all moved over there, I want some too."

As she spoke, she walked straight over, pounced on Bai Yu from the front, wrapped her arms around Bai Yu's neck, and hung on him.

The sudden weight caused Shiraha's chair to tilt backward, almost tipping over, but Yachiru and Rangiku simultaneously reached out and steadied it.

Three women surrounded Bai Yu from all sides.

Artoria sat there, a dried squid still in her hand, watching the scene with a blank expression.

"Aren't you going?"

Rangiku tilted her head and asked her.

Artoria took a bite of the dried squid, chewed it slowly, and only spoke after swallowing it.

"I am a knight, I do not participate in this kind of drunken chaos."

"Oh--"

Rangiku smiled meaningfully.

"Then why are you blushing?"

Artoria didn't answer, but silently turned away from everyone and continued to gnaw on her dried squid.

But her ears were indeed red, clearly visible in the moonlight.

Mirajane hung around Bai Yu's neck, looking up at him.

Her face was so close that Bai Yu could see the curve of her eyelashes, the starlight reflected in her pupils, and the luster of the wine on her moist red lips under the moonlight.

"White Feather."

Mirajane called his name, her voice soft and gentle.

"Ok?"

Chapter 225 A Hot Night

Bai Yu responded, his voice a little hoarse than he had expected.

"Thank you for fishing with me tonight."

Miraja said.

"I enjoyed the fishing process very much."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Mirajane smiled, her eyes softening further.

"However, seeing your back as you carried Kanna into the cabin, I was thinking..."

She paused for a moment.

"If you really had a child, you would probably be a good father."

Bai Yu remained silent.

Rangiku said something on his right shoulder, but her voice was muffled and unintelligible.

Robin was behind him, his breathing steady and warm.

Mirajah was right in front of him, within arm's reach.

The five people, with Bai Yu at the center, formed an inseparable whole.

The sea breeze continued to blow, carrying a salty and slightly cool scent.

The starlight continued to fall, landing on everyone's faces and making the intoxication even more hazy.

The boat rocked gently, like a cradle, making one feel drowsy.

Bai Yu didn't know when he relaxed his tense muscles.

It might have been the warmth of Mirajane's body, the tranquility of Yachiru, the intoxication of Rangiku's sake, or the laughter of Robin in his ear that broke down his last line of defense.

In short, he gradually relaxed.

He put one arm around Mirajane's waist to prevent her from slipping off in front.

He placed his other hand on Rangiku's back to steady her.

Yachiru moved even closer, pressing her entire body against him as if she wanted to melt into his body.

Robin's hands reached over his shoulders and wrapped around his chest.

The combined body heat of the five people created a small, warm stove in the slightly chilly night.

"It's so warm."

"Um……"

Rangiku gave a mumbled response, her voice already sounding like she was talking in her sleep.

Mirajane buried her face in the crook of Baiyu's neck, her breathing becoming long and even.

Robin rested her chin on Bai Yu's head, her eyes closed, a faint smile on her lips.

Time lost its meaning at this moment.

I don't know how much time has passed—

It could be a few minutes, or it could be half an hour.

Those who should be awake are already asleep.

Rangiku's breathing became heavy, her breath brushing against Shiraha's collarbone, tickling him.

Yachiru's head slid off his shoulder and rested on his chest.

Mirajane nestled in his arms, clutching his clothes with both hands, refusing to let go even in her sleep.

Robin relaxed her grip on him a bit, but her arms were still wrapped around his waist like a gentle chain.

Bai Yu was surrounded by four women and unable to move.

He tried to move his numb arm, but as soon as he did, Mirajane grunted in dissatisfaction and gripped him even tighter.

Rangiku's hair fell down and rested on the back of his hand, tickling him.

Robin shifted behind him, nuzzling his head twice with his chin, as if searching for a more comfortable position.

He looked down at the women in his arms; their faces were soft in the moonlight, unlike their appearance during the day.

There is no sharpness in battle, no laughter in daily life, only the purest tranquility.

Kanna fell asleep in the cabin.

Artoria and the others fell asleep on the deck.

Bai Yu was the only one who was still somewhat awake.

He leaned back in his chair, looking up at the starry sky.

The Milky Way stretches across the sky, with countless stars twinkling, some bright, some dim, some near, and some far.

Just like the people around me.

Some are close at hand, while others are far away.

But at this moment, at this specific point in time, they are all here.

Bai Yu closed her eyes.

The sea breeze continues to blow.

The waves continued to crash.

The stars continue to shine.

The boat continued to rock.

Length of night.

But Bai Yu felt that it would be nice if time could stop at this moment.

I don't know how much time has passed.
