Chapter 49: Release

Chapter 49: Release

With the last vestiges of his self-restraint thoroughly quashed, Thomas surprised Vivi by picking her up by the pits of her arms and placing her on the bed.

"Lay on your back...I'll take care of the rest..." said Thomas, his voice deep and expression fiery.

Though she suddenly felt a lot more nervous, Vivi gave a curt nod before lying on her back and habitually covering her breasts. This was her first time, so while she was confident she had made the right choice, she was still a little worried...

Peeling away Vivi's pure white panties, Thomas took a moment to admire her faintly glistening vulva and sparse blue pubes before squatting down and prying apart her legs. He used to hate going down on women, but he had gotten over such inhibitions during his time with Caenis. She refused to suck his dick unless he returned the favor by eating her out, so he had gotten fairly used to having the bronze-skinned beauty sitting on his face.

Surprised by Thomas's actions, a startled "Hyaaaaan...!?" emanated from Vivi's throat as she instinctually grabbed his hair. She had 'researched' the relations between men and women, but it still felt wrong to have someone put their mouth and nose near the place she peed...

Despite her misgivings, Vivi did not attempt to stop Thomas. She trusted that he knew what he was doing, so she did her best to endure, even as his tongue invaded her folds. She instinctually closed her thighs around his head, but Thomas was able to pry them open without much effort, holding her in place until the sounds emanating from her throat became tinged with pleasure.

Though he didn't bring her to climax, Thomas spent several minutes ensuring that Vivi's immaculate pussy was prepared to receive him. He was also beginning to feel a little impatient, so he rose to his full height, surprising the blue-haired beauty as he shed his pants and whipped out his cock.

Seeing Thomas's penis, Vivi's eyes widened as she softly inquired, "I-Isn't that a little too big...?"

Adopting a smoldering look, Thomas replied, "I'll be gentle..." as he began lubricating his cock against Vivi's glistening folds. She eventually propped herself onto her shoulders to get a better look, so Thomas took his time ensuring his dick was coated thoroughly before parting her vulva with his glans and sinking a few centimeters into her surprisingly accommodating depths. There was a brief sensation of rigidity around his glans, but Thomas pushed through it with unexpected ease, prompting Vivi to issue a faint, "Whoa..." as her eyes widened in shock.

As it was his first time having sex with someone native to the world of One Piece, Thomas was just as surprised as Vivi. He had expected the loss of her virginity to be a bloody and painful affair, but he managed to sheathe himself in her pussy in a single go. She was pleasantly tight, as could be expected of a virgin, but it was almost like her body was made to accommodate even larger appendages...

Attributing the peculiar revelation to 'anime logic,' Thomas began to move his hips while supporting Vivi's legs. The ease at which he had penetrated her caused most of her apprehensions to evaporate, so she laid back with a smile, her purple eyes focused on him as her fleeting discomfort quickly turned to pleasure.

Catching Thomas a little off guard, Vivi's smile became more prominent as she calmly remarked, "You don't have to be gentle..."

Moving his hands from Vivi's thighs to her waist, Thomas began pistoning her with greater but controlled force, causing a satisfying 'clapping' sound to echo through her room. As he did so, Vivi took the initiative to raise her legs in an M pose, linking her hands behind her knees to make it easier for him to move before extending her tongue and giving him a playful wink.

"..."

As he wasn't knocking against Vivi's pelvic wall, Thomas decided to stop 'playing around,' surprising the blue-haired Princess by lifting her from the bed, stealing her lips, and fucking her in a standing position. The sudden transition caused her pussy to clench, but it did little to hamper Thomas's movements.

Without missing a beat, Thomas replied, "I was gathering information and hashing out the details of our plan with Miss Wednesday. The person we'll be taking down is one of the major players in Paradise, so it never hurts to be cautious..."

Though she narrowed her eyes slightly, Nami didn't call Thomas out and divulge what he was actually doing. Instead, she stated, "I already gave everyone a barebones explanation of the plan. Any idea of the response time of our enemies...?"

Nodding his head, Thomas replied, "The lower-ranking members each possess steam-powered paddle ships, so they could reach us within seven days if departing from the nearest base. If they decide to play it safe and form a blockade, however, we're looking at a timeline of around a month."

Hearing 'one month,' Lucy's expression immediately morphed into a frown as she replied, "I don't want to wait that long. We should just set sail and fight them as they appear. If they don't, we'll beat them up once we reach Alabasta."

Instead of trying to argue that it was 'safer' to wait, Thomas adopted a smile and replied, "Few plans survive contact with the enemy, so I don't mind going with the flow. It's ultimately your decision to make, Captain."

Adopting a toothy smile, Lucy immediately shouted, "Then let's set sail! I'm not going to become Pirate King by sitting on my butt and waiting for the enemies to appear! Let's go, go, go~!"

Before Lucy could get too excited, Nami interjected, saying, "According to that Igarappoi fellow, it takes five days for the Log Pose to attune to the next major island. He gave me an Eternal Pose that can take us directly to Alabasta, but our ship is too small, and we would run out of supplies long before we reached it."

Nodding his head, Thomas appended, "That will be a recurring issue until we upgrade or acquire a new ship at Water 7. Entering the second half of the Grand Line with a Caravel is impossible since we'll need to dive under the Red Line to reach it. The currents in the deep sea are too strong for any ordinary ship, so we'll need something made from Adam's Wood if we want to avoid a watery grave."

Though he was originally going to protest the acquisition of a new ship, Usopp swallowed his words when he heard Thomas mention how they would be entering the New World. Fortunately, Thomas had factored in his protests, adding, "If our new ship is large enough, it might be able to house the Merry within it. If that proves impossible, we can incorporate some of its parts into our new ship or moor it at Water 7 until we complete our journey. It all depends on how much money we have saved before we reach the legendary shipyard."

Hearing there was a possibility of incorporating the Going Merry into their new ship, a contented smile developed across Usopp's face. At the same time, Lucy issued one of her characteristic 'Shishishi~' type laughs before remarking, "You think of everything, don't you, Tom?"

Adopting a smile of his own, Thomas replied, "I just want everyone to be happy and to make the most of our time sailing together. Besides, Merry is as much a member of our crew as everyone else. Even if it's just a piece of her keel, I'm sure she would like to accompany us till the end."

While Nami adopted a somewhat thoughtful expression in response to Thomas's words, Zoro, Lucy, and Usopp smiled approvingly. The former wasn't nearly as attached to the Merry as Usopp was, but the thought of abandoning it just because it was 'weak' made him uncomfortable. As for Lucy, the Going Merry's sheep-themed figurehead was her favorite place to sit. If given the chance, she would gladly recycle the wood to make an actual chair...
