One Piece: Ultimate Villain

Chapter 17: 17. Scoundrel! What you-



Night was falling.

Fresh from a bath, Marsh lay comfortably on the bed. Though he'd spent plenty of time in beds during simulations, the soft mattress beneath him now was a rare and real comfort.

Around the corner outside, Sadi tugged on the hem of her peculiar outfit, though no amount of pulling could make up for its mere few centimeters in length. The chilly night air made her exposed lower half feel a bit cold.

She shot a disapproving glance at Gion, who was leaning casually against a lamppost, pointing at the room in front of her.

Sigh.

When did the lieutenant commander develop such a mischievous streak?

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

Hearing the knock, Marsh leaped out of bed and opened the door, only to find himself at a loss for words.

Sadi had changed into that classic pink leather outfit from the original anime. Actually, outfit might be a bit generous, it was more of a leather bikini!

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her figure exuded a certain warmth and allure.

"Um…Marsh, you told me to come find you."

'Yes, I did ask you to come find me.'

'But I didn't tell you to dress like this!'

'What was wrong with the navy uniform you had on earlier?!'

Could she have a split personality? Normal by day, transformed by night?

"Lieutenant Sadi, I apologize, but I'm exhausted today. Could we reschedule?"

Up on the rooftop, Gion's face darkened.

Wait, no!

Given that scoundrel's character, shouldn't he have already dragged Sadi into the room?

"Huh?" Sadi was taken aback, but remembering Gion's order, she steeled herself. "My shoulder really hurts. Since you could tell at a glance that it's injured, you must have some medical skill. Could you treat it?"

Indeed, before Isekai'd, Marsh had learned massage techniques to impress his crush.

Over time, he had gotten good enough to recognize shoulder issues just by observing someone.

But still!

"Let me be honest, Lieutenant Sadi. I was too forward today, and it's inappropriate for a man and woman to be alone in a room at night. And with you dressed so...um...lightly, it wouldn't be good for your reputation if word got out." Marsh said, a bit awkwardly.

'Huh? Is he...concerned about me? What a considerate man.'

Sadi felt a warmth rise in her heart.

But Gion, eavesdropping on the rooftop, sneered.

'Playing the gentleman, huh?'

"But...but you're not a bad person! As long as we're innocent in our hearts, it's fine!" Trying to avoid Gion's wrath, Sadi insisted.

"All right, come in then." Marsh relented, stepping aside to let her in.

'Halfway there!'

Once he makes a move on Sadi…

She'll barge in and catch him red-handed!

Gion's spirits soared.

...

A few minutes later.

"Ow! That hurts!"

"The first time is always a bit painful. You'll get used to it with practice."

"R-Really?"

"Yeah. Hang in there, I'm about to apply more pressure."

"All right, please...go easy."

"Don't worry! I'll control the force. Just relax."

What the hell?!

Gion's face turned red as she listened in from the roof.

What on earth are they doing in there?!

Marsh being a scoundrel is one thing!

But Sadi!

You're usually so formal and proper!

Could that outfit have unlocked her hidden personality?

Forget it!

She can't let Sadi fall prey to that scoundrel!

Gion drew her sword, Konpira, from her waist. Gripping it with both hands, she swung it horizontally at the room below!

A powerful slash sent a fierce wave of energy that instantly sliced off half the building!

Then she leaped down!

"Scoundrel! What are you doing to Sadi?!"

But the scene before her made her freeze.

Sadi was indeed lying on the bed.

But fully clothed, in fact, she'd even changed out of the scandalous leather bikini into her navy uniform.

And that scoundrel, Marsh, had his hands on her right shoulder, massaging it gently.

Seeing the roof and walls half-destroyed, along with Gion's sudden entrance, both Marsh and Sadi were stunned.

After a good two minutes, Gion finally broke the silence. "W-What...what are you two doing?"

"M-Massage?" Sadi stammered, her face turning red. "I told you earlier he offered to massage me! And...wasn't it you who told me to come here?"
