Finally, the day of departure arrived. Given that the Executives needed to guard the kingdom, Doflamingo decided to personally escort Orochimaru to Sabaody Archipelago.
After all, a direct voyage to Sabaody Archipelago would take a week, and Doflamingo, being a Shichibukai, could take an internal route, avoiding Fish-Man Island.
Gazing at the seemingly carefree fellow, Doflamingo, uncharacteristically, sighed.
The 'ancestor' he had meticulously cared for these past two years was, in the end, to be sent away by him.
On the last day of the journey, in the Captain's private cabin, the dim candlelight flickered. Doflamingo leaned languidly on the sofa, his gaze, however, followed Orochimaru's every move like a hawk.
Orochimaru seemed to sense the intense stare and turned his head slightly. His hand, which was rummaging for clothes to wear, paused. After all, it had been two years since his last departure, and he needed a new outfit.
"Why are you staring at me like that?"
Doflamingo raised an eyebrow slightly, stood up, and pulled him into his arms. His hand rested gently on Orochimaru's waist, his fingers subtly caressing the delicate fabric.
"What... you're leaving, and I can't even look?"
Orochimaru slowly raised his hand, his fingertips sliding down Doflamingo's Adam's apple, resting on his chest, feeling the strong heartbeat.
"Overheated body temperature??"
Doflamingo heard Orochimaru's teasing and a dangerous smile played on his lips. "In these two years you've been by my side, when have I not been like this?"
With that, Doflamingo's hand tightened slightly, pulling Orochimaru's body closer to his own.
Orochimaru hummed softly. Snakes were cold-blooded animals, didn't he know he was uncomfortable? However, he didn't struggle. In these two years, he had realized that Doffy was all lust and no guts.
Anyway, it was Doflamingo who suffered.
Not everyone was like Orochimaru, with little feeling for desire.
"Then you can continue to endure it. I'm sure your new lovers will satisfy you well." Orochimaru's words carried a hint of teasing.
Doflamingo lowered his head, his nose touching Orochimaru's nose.
"Do you think just anyone can catch my eye?
I'm just enduring it now, but perhaps after half a year, don't forget.
After that date, your grandfathers and fathers probably won't interfere anymore, right?"
Orochimaru frowned. "My grandfathers are fine, please don't randomly associate me with so many unrelated people.
And what exactly do you want to do? I still need to prepare my clothes. Don't you know we're already a few days late? If we delay further, I'll be the last one to arrive. Don't delay my schedule!"
Doflamingo looked at this heartless snake, and a sudden wave of grievance rose in his heart. He secretly threw away the clothes Orochimaru had prepared.
"Why wear chainmail? Don't you know that's already too short?
You forgot, you've grown 6 centimeters in these two years. You're already 172 now."
At the mention of this topic, Orochimaru couldn't help but feel a momentary joy. This time, he finally wouldn't be the shortest one, right?
This was what Orochimaru liked most about Dressrosa! He had grown taller!! It must be due to the different environment.
After all, the people in Foosha Village were all short! It wasn't his fault!
Doflamingo looked at the person whose thoughts were wandering, his hand grasping the narrow waist, his chin resting on the person's shoulder.
"So all those old clothes of yours can't be worn. I've prepared clothes for you. What? Don't you trust my aesthetic?"
A subtle smile played on Doflamingo's lips.
Hearing this, Orochimaru looked at Doflamingo, somewhat hesitant to speak.
His gaze swept over the pink feather coat thrown aside behind him.
Then he thought about the floral shirt, floral pants, and slip-on shoes from the Marineford War, and his expression became a little awkward.
If it weren't for his looks and figure... that outfit could only be described as an eyesore... Although Doffy now looked 26 again and looked good in anything... but... Orochimaru carefully chose his words, trying to express his thoughts tactfully, though his tone sounded like he was coaxing a child... "Doffy... sometimes we need to accept reality... everyone has things they're not good at... right... since you're not good at it, then don't try it."
As Orochimaru's words fell, the air in the room seemed to solidify a bit. Doflamingo's hand froze in mid-air, his face full of shock, his incredulous expression as if he had heard something outlandish.
After a moment, he finally understood Orochimaru's meaning. Was he saying his clothes were ugly??
After a brief silence, he was like a lit powder keg, veins bulging on his forehead, yet his eyes also contained a hint of unwillingness and grievance.
He lunged forward, taking a few steps to Orochimaru's front, and with a strong pull of his arms, lifted Orochimaru entirely.
He patted him with a hint of punishment.
"Can't that mouth of yours say something I want to hear?" Doflamingo panted, his voice hoarse with anger and desire.
His fingers traced the marks on Orochimaru's neck.
"It's the last day. Since I can't devour you now, let me collect some interest in advance... This is a necessary part for lovers."
His gaze remained locked on Orochimaru, the heat in his eyes as if to consume the other party.
Orochimaru suddenly arched his back, his hands pushing against the person in front of him, stopping him from moving further.
"Wait... Doffy..."
Doflamingo looked at Orochimaru's reaction, a triumphant smile playing on his lips. The room was filled with the sounds of panting and caressing.
Doflamingo looked at the somewhat dazed person with satisfaction, then happily carried him to bathe, gently wiping his body.
"You see, you also have simple physiological needs. After all, it's the last day... so a little indulgence is fine..."
