Nico Robin remained silent for a long moment, her sharp eyes fixed on the man standing before her. She was a woman who lived in the gaps of history, a survivor who had decoded the secrets of the world and the blackest intentions of men. She was used to lies wrapped in poetry and cruelty masked by justice.
But Li Ke was a new kind of enigma.
He had just promised her a sanctuary the World Government couldn't touch and a resurrection that defied the laws of life and death. It was the kind of vow a hero makes at the climax of a legend. Yet, he had punctuated it by admiring her "assets" and giving her a thumbs-up that radiated the cheerful energy of a neighborhood handyman.
Even though the words themselves weren't technically wrong—he had just proven he could bring back the dead—they somehow sounded completely off.
"I see," Robin finally murmured, the corners of her mouth twitching with a mix of exhaustion and dark amusement. "So my 'security' is entirely dependent on the continued appeal of my backside?"
"Practicality is the soul of any good contract, Robin," Li Ke replied, his grin as unabashedly honest as a shark in open water.
Robin sighed, a hand drifting to her forehead. She had spent her life running from monsters, only to find herself striking a deal with a man who was arguably more dangerous because he didn't even bother to pretend he was a saint.
"Never mind. Talking about this with you is clearly a failure on my part. I still have to steer the ship today, so you can just hold onto this instead."
Robin snapped her fingers. In the next instant, a limbless, headless torso appeared directly on top of her gloved hand. She tossed it casually toward Li Ke.
He caught it and immediately noticed that while the head, legs, and arms were missing, the rest of the body was fully formed — complete with a steady heartbeat and natural body warmth.
"Uh… at least give me the head, maybe?"
Li Ke stared at her, utterly speechless. This thing felt no different from some high-end silicone doll.
It was an exact copy of Robin's body, yet the whole situation felt incredibly weird.
"Well, it's your own fault for not giving me any real affection," Robin said, tilting her head slightly. "Besides, even with my ability, creating an entire perfect copy of a person is far too difficult."
She turned back to her book.
"Anyway, go get some sleep. Remember to take over at six. I can't stare at the ocean forever."
With that, Robin resumed reading as if nothing had happened.
Li Ke shook his head in resignation and carried the torso Robin had created back into the cabin.
He had to admit — even without the other parts, the girls in the One Piece's world really had incredible waists. It made him wonder if they even had internal organs in their abdomens.
Once inside the cabin, he tossed the body onto the bed without ceremony. With a casual wave of his hand, a stream of cool, clear water flew out from an opened bottle of mineral water and plunged straight into the torso, swirling inside to provide lubrication.
Outside on deck, Robin instantly clamped a hand over her mouth. She could feel it with perfect clarity — something cold and relentless spinning and stretching inside her most intimate channel.
That bastard!
Her legs gave out. If she hadn't grabbed the ship's wheel in time, she would have collapsed face-first onto the deck.
But the next moment, the same intrusive sensation hit her from behind.
And not only that — Li Ke had used some unknown method to force the cool water deep into her intestines, pushing it higher and higher.
Robin pressed both hands tightly over her mouth, biting back any sound.
Meanwhile, Li Ke admired the way the torso's abdomen had begun to swell slightly under the control of his Water Bending. He gave himself a mental pat on the back.
There was no way he would ever do anything like this to an actual pregnant woman — no matter how scummy he could be. But with a copy like this? No problem at all.
It couldn't actually hurt Robin, so he didn't feel any guilt.
Besides, he really was a genius!
He still couldn't use water bending for direct attacks yet, but he could already control flowing water at a short distance and make it move exactly as he wanted.
Li Ke — the genius.
He pulled out a plug about four centimeters in diameter and pushed it firmly into place, making sure none of the water would leak out. Then he began his assault on the torso.
As for Robin…
"I'm going to die… I'm really going to die…"
She had completely collapsed onto the deck. Pain and an overwhelming, desperate urge to release battled inside her, crushing her spirit and willpower. The stark contrast with Li Ke's usual gentlemanly behavior only made the sensation hit harder.
That contrast left her utterly helpless. She had to endure the intense pressure of needing to expel everything while simultaneously fighting the violent pleasure of his thrusts repeatedly slamming against her cervix.
Her hands trembled as she tried to undo her shorts to avoid soaking them again, but the next second—
"Hmm, maybe add a little more?"
Li Ke summoned another stream of water and directed it into the one passage that had never been designed to have anything inserted — the channel meant only for releasing waste.
While still moving against the torso, he forcefully pumped the water inside.
On deck, Robin's head snapped up as she let out a sharp, broken cry. She frantically yanked her shorts down. Her trembling legs could no longer hold back. A powerful jet of liquid sprayed violently from her body, soaking the deck around her.
Hearing her cry, Li Ke rushed out of the cabin without even pulling his pants up properly. He arrived just in time to see Robin lying there with her legs spread wide, gushing like a fountain.
He stared in bewilderment at Robin — whose eyes had rolled back slightly — then glanced back at the cabin where the torso was now spraying from all three openings after his water control had vanished. Finally, his eyes returned to the real Robin, who was still spurting from two places.
"So… you can actually feel it?"
Robin's body kept twitching uncontrollably. Whatever Li Ke said right now barely registered. The overwhelming shame, the three different expulsion sensations, and the mortifying fact that he was seeing her like this pushed both her body and mind to their absolute limit. She desperately wanted to stop reacting, but even after the main stream died down, the most sensitive spot continued to pulse and leak rhythmically, showing no sign of stopping.
Li Ke quickly pulled off his shirt and used it to shield Robin's lower body from view.
Robin, mortified, covered her face with both hands.
Even though Li Ke had already seen everything he possibly could, and she had even created a body for him to use, her real self had never been exposed to him like this before. The unique shame that came only from her real body left her completely unsettled.
Worst of all, she had only taken her shorts off to prevent an accident — and then she had failed to hold it in, letting him both hear and see everything.
So she couldn't even answer his question. She simply kept her face hidden, too embarrassed to look at his expression.
Besides, his pants still weren't pulled up. She really didn't dare look at the thing that had just brought her to the brink of collapse.
"You should've told me earlier… If I'd known you could feel it, I wouldn't have gone that far."
Li Ke quietly pulled his pants back up. If he had known the copied body would transmit sensations this strongly, he would have limited himself to just the enema instead of going so overboard.
Robin didn't reply. She simply focused on steadying her breathing. When the silence between them grew heavier, she slowly sat up.
"It's fine. You can do whatever you want. Even if I can feel it, it won't actually harm my body, so no matter how extreme you get… it doesn't matter…"
As she spoke, she quietly picked up Li Ke's discarded shirt and, without any hesitation, fully exposed her lower half to him again while pulling her shorts back on.
Unfortunately, the fabric was now soaked through and clung uncomfortably to her skin.
"Uh… I'm not really in a hurry today…"
But Li Ke felt extremely awkward. Getting caught in the middle of such a perverted act made it impossible for him to casually go back and continue. Although he had plenty of experience, this kind of intense, taboo play was still relatively new to him — he was still young, after all.
"It's okay."
Robin picked up the book she had dropped earlier and held it up to cover her nose, mouth, and most of her expression.
"After all, this is part of our exchange, isn't it? No matter how difficult it gets, I can endure it. So go ahead, Li Ke. Since you said you don't like lying, you should properly fulfill what you promised. Go do it."
"But… that…"
"I'm fine. Besides, you're still hard… Do you want me to use my mouth? Or do you want to do it with the real me? It's not impossible, but please wait until we don't need someone on watch."
Robin's voice was completely serious.
"Alright then."
Li Ke spread his hands and headed back toward the cabin, while Robin waited until he was gone before letting out a soft, relieved sigh.
She had almost cried just now!
After that sigh of relief, she noticed Li Ke hadn't continued. Almost unconsciously, her hand drifted to her lower abdomen, then lower still, gently touching her most sensitive spot.
Even though she had acted like she didn't mind…
Robin bit her lip. She felt a subtle, hard-to-describe dissatisfaction toward Li Ke's thin skin.
Dissatisfaction.
Sexual frustration.
