Chapter 119 Breaking Hina

As soon as Gumir unfastened his own chains and seastone cuffs, his first priority was to use the antidote to awaken the Marines on the ship.

Once everyone had regained consciousness, Gumir breathed a long sigh of relief, but he quickly discovered a problem.

“That damned bastard! He didn’t release Hina!”

Their mission this time was to rescue Hina. Not only had they failed to save her, but the Marine had also lost a Devil Fruit in the process.

Gritting his teeth, Gumir dialed Sengoku’s number.

“Hello, Gumir?”

Sengoku’s voice came through the den den mushi.

“It’s me… I’m sorry, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I’ve let you down.”

Gumir’s voice carried a hint of dejection.

“As long as you’re safe. Where are you now?”

“I’m not sure; we were unconscious the whole time.”

“We don’t know our current location.”

“It’s fine. Confirm your position as soon as possible. Aokiji and Momonga are at Drum Island; you can go there to rendezvous with them.”

“Admiral Aokiji is here too!”

“Yes. Originally, they went to round up Kaguya and his lot, but that brat Kaguya was too slippery and left ahead of time.”

“Understood. I’ll confirm our position immediately and rendezvous with Admiral Aokiji.”

“Good. Go on then.”

Just as Sengoku was about to hang up, Gumir immediately spoke up to stop him.

“Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I have one more thing to report.”

“Colonel Hina has not been released! That bastard Kaguya only released us, but kept Colonel Hina!”

Gumir’s voice trembled with rage.

“Hina?”

“Yes, it was precisely to rescue Colonel Hina that we engaged in battle with Kaguyas Group.”

Sengoku fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, the brow mimicked by the den den mushi furrowing deeply.

“I see… It seems that brat never intended to release Hina from the start.”

His voice carried a suppressed fury.

“Rendezvous with Aokiji first. I will handle this matter personally.”

The call was disconnected, and Gumir began commanding his subordinates to confirm their position and heading.

Meanwhile, aboard the dragon soaring ten thousand miles.

Hina sat by the window, gazing distantly in the direction where the warship had disappeared.

Kaguya pushed the door open and entered, seeing Hina’s lonely silhouette.

“Miss Hina’s mood doesn’t seem very good~”

Hina snapped back to her senses and turned her head to glare fiercely at Kaguya.

“Exactly what will it take for you to release Hina?”

“Miss Hina, don’t even dream about returning to the Marine.”

“I told you, I’ve taken a liking to you.”

“So from now on, you can only be my woman.”

A flash of anger and humiliation crossed Hina’s eyes. She stood up abruptly, only to stumble, tripped by the seastone cuffs on her ankles.

Kaguya was quick to catch and support her, but she violently shoved him away.

“Don’t touch Hina!”

She gritted her teeth, her voice carrying a suppressed tremor.

“The Marine won’t let you get away with this.”

Kaguya smiled dismissively and pulled over a chair to sit down.

“That old man Sengoku is probably jumping mad right now, isn’t he? But he can’t do anything to me.”

He crossed his legs, observing Hina’s stubborn profile with interest.

“Instead of thinking about escaping, why not consider how to adapt to your new life?”

Hina gave a cold laugh.

“Hina would rather die than submit.”

“So stubborn…”

Kaguya sighed.

“But for a beauty like Miss Hina, I’d be loath to let you die~”

“I have plenty of time; I can wait slowly for you to change your mind.”

Hina turned her face away, ignoring him.

Kaguya wasn’t annoyed either; he chatted with Hina intermittently, teasing her from time to time.

He didn’t believe he couldn’t tame this pink-haired beauty.

After sailing at sea for a week, Kaya finally finished developing her potion during this time.

Tashigi and the others’ physical constitutions and strength improved by leaps and bounds with the help of the potion.

The Shave and Moonwalk of the Marine Six Powers had now been mastered by everyone.

As for Hina, Kaguya shamelessly held her close while they slept for several nights.

At first, Hina resisted violently, even biting Kaguya’s shoulder hard enough to wound him.

But Kaguya just chuckled and let her vent, continuing his behavior the next day regardless.

During those few nights held in Kaguya’s arms, Hina was initially unable to sleep.

Her eyes remained wide open until dawn.

Kaguya didn’t care; he was breaking Hina just like one would break a hawk.

Gradually, Hina found that her resistance seemed meaningless.

Kaguya was like a stubborn reef, remaining unmoved no matter how the waves crashed against him.

What unsettled her even more was that during those nights of forced embrace, she actually began to grow accustomed to the warmth of his chest.

This discovery made Hina feel both ashamed and terrified; she could only attribute such weakness to the powerlessness brought by the seastone cuffs.

At dawn on the seventh day, Hina woke up in a haze.

She realized she had unconsciously fallen asleep leaning against Kaguya’s shoulder, a realization that made her face flush instantly.

Kaguya seemed to have been awake for a while, looking at her with a playful gaze.

“Good morning, my sleeping beauty.”

“Shut up!”

Hina tried to push Kaguya away, but because of the Sea Stone, her movements were soft and weak.

It was as if she were acting coy with Kaguya.

Kaguya grinned and grabbed Hina’s soft hand, one hand hooking around her waist to pull her closer.

Hina could clearly feel his hot breath brushing against her ear, and she immediately stiffened.

“It seems Miss Hina has already started to adapt.”

Kaguya’s voice carried a triumphant smile.

“Even your body has become honest.”

“Nonsense!”

Hina was both ashamed and indignant, her voice trembling slightly with agitation.

“Hina just… just…”

Without waiting for her explanation, Kaguya directly and forcefully kissed her on the lips.

Hina’s pupils contracted sharply, her hands pressing against his chest as she struggled desperately, but she was unable to exert any strength due to the restriction of the seastone cuffs.

This kiss carried an irresistible aggression; it wasn’t until she was almost suffocating that Kaguya finally let go, looking unsatisfied.

“You!”

Hina’s lips trembled slightly, and the rims of her eyes turned red.

“Hina will never forgive this humiliation!”

Kaguya wiped the corner of her moist lips with his thumb and chuckled.

“One day, you’ll kiss me of your own accord.”

Then Kaguya stood up and walked out of the room.

The moment the cabin door closed, Hina finally broke down, grabbing a pillow and hurling it at the door.

She wiped her lips vigorously, but she couldn’t wipe away that burning sensation.

The cries of seagulls came from outside, and sunlight cast diamond-shaped patches of light on the floor through the porthole.

She stared blankly at the light, unconsciously touching the lips that had just been kissed with her fingertips.

Hina’s fingertips lingered on her lips for a moment before she suddenly pulled them back as if burned.

She bit her lower lip in frustration, her fists clenched tight.

This despicable guy was actually using such low-handed methods to break down her will.
