One Piece Dragon King - Chapter 46
“Hals, Hals, Hals! Look, look, look! ‘I Am Not Mihawk’ released a new book!”
Ain ran excitedly towards Hals.
Over the past year, Ain and Hals had become very close friends. Their relationship was now extremely strong, although her relationship with Bins and Shuzo remained the same, with no significant improvement, but also no particular hostility towards Hals.
All three entered the elite camp under Zephyr’s training. For Hals, it didn’t really matter if he joined or not, but he still entered the elite camp.
Hals glanced at Ain, responding rather nonchalantly.
“Yeah, yeah, I know. But isn’t this ‘Kaido of the Beasts and the Three Disasters’ the explicit edition? It’s not exactly a new book; it’s been around for a while.”
“You should know, it’s really rare now. You can’t find it on the market anymore. If Zephyr hadn’t said that the first person to complete the training task would get this book, I wouldn’t have been able to get it. I was the first to complete the training task today!”
Ain’s face was full of anticipation, waiting for praise.
But since Ain was the first, she must have worked extra hard and naturally sweated a lot.
“Yeah, yeah, very impressive, but you smell terrible.”
Ain’s clothes were soaked with sweat, sticking to her skin, and her body could be faintly seen through the fabric.
Hals could see Ain’s figure clearly, but he felt nothing and was even slightly repulsed.
Because Ain was just a child, now a ten-year-old girl, her figure wasn’t developed.
Hals stepped back a few paces, covering his nose.
It really stank.
Ain’s face changed repeatedly—blushing, anger, embarrassment, and awkwardness—but eventually, she calmed down.
Hals noticed a pink flame appearing in Ain’s hand for a moment.
But the flames extinguished quickly.
Maybe she realized this move wouldn’t work.
“Negative Emotions from Ain +2000”
“Negative Emotions from… ”
She has indeed become much stronger.
Eventually, Ain left to take a shower.
Ain was a loyal fan of Hals but only of Hals as an author. She had read all of Hals’s novels, including purely heterosexual ones like “Kaido of the Beasts and Big Mom’s Rocks Pirate Love Story.”
Each novel was an explicit story.
Some were implicitly romantic, some were male-on-male stories, some were purely explicit, and others had various elements…
Hals thought that girls might only read domineering CEO romances and BL stories, but Ain read everything.
Truly a die-hard fan.
After her shower, Ain ran back to Hals’s courtyard, dragging him to read the explicit edition with her.
Hals was uninterested in these male-on-male stories, but he didn’t mind too much because Ain enjoyed them.
But it’s undeniable these books were very popular.
How to put it, people in the World Government liked them, Marines liked them, and even the Celestial Dragons liked them.
Because of these books, the Celestial Dragons’ sexual orientations had changed.
It reached the point where male Celestial Dragons would seek male servants, and female Celestial Dragons would seek female servants for unspeakable activities.
It was truly…
Pathetic~
Hals didn’t really care.
These people would be overthrown eventually, so there was no rush. As for the slaves, they were already living miserably; Hals wouldn’t concern himself with how much worse it got.
It seemed that because the World Government and Marines disliked pirates and the Revolutionary Army, high-ranking officials and Marine officers all had a few of these novels.
It could even be said that if you didn’t have a few, it was because your rank wasn’t high enough.
Aokiji had a few but didn’t really read them; they were brand new.
Kizaru had collected the entire set, though he only wanted to collect the domineering CEO series, the ones with Big Mom, Longbeard, and Kaido editions. He somehow ended up with the full collection, with novels being just a part.
No wonder he’s the most lecherous character in One Piece, bar none.
Akainu also had a few on his desk, all novels, but he didn’t read much.
Garp wasn’t afraid of anything, didn’t own a single one, and didn’t care what people said.
Sengoku had a few on his desk but didn’t read them, saying they were too vulgar and left them to gather dust.
Zephyr had quite a few, but he used them to reward students.
The explicit edition Ain got required a month of diligently completing all training courses, without a single day off.
Of course, Hals only wrote the books; he didn’t draw the comics or other materials.
Still, not bad.
An hour later, Ain left Hals’s courtyard. Hals had no interest in these things, only skimming them nonchalantly, while Ain, absorbed in her book, didn’t notice and enjoyed it alone.
Hals didn’t know what to say.
“I’ll come back tomorrow, Hals. Let’s read together.”
Ain waved, holding her book, and bid Hals goodbye, then left the courtyard.
“Alright, time to train in other things.”
The current body training and meditation were different from before. Previously, they required being still, but now, as long as the body could move, training could continue.
Hals always practiced meditation and only trained body techniques when alone.
A few minutes after Ain left, Hals exited meditation and started training his body techniques.
His whole body trembled, bones cracking, internal organs shattering, stomach acid spilling, and his heart splitting open.
Pain, unbearable pain, like his body was being shattered into pieces, with continuous wounds and blood on his skin.
But it didn’t matter.
Before training, Hals had cast plant magic on himself. The courtyard had a giant flower that now wrapped around Hals, releasing special pollen to heal his wounds. At the same time, Hals used a **[Large Healing Potion]** on himself.
At least he wouldn’t die.
Hals thought.
