In the year 1464 of the Sea Circle Calendar, Wano marked an important day.
The son of Shogun Kozuki Sukiyaki, Kozuki Oden, was born.
When Oden came into the world, his piercing cries convinced everyone he would grow into a strong child. A worthy heir.
No one knew that this infant carried an innate gift — the ability to hear the voices of all things.
And a voice whispered to him.
At the very moment of his birth, something destined for him had been stolen away.
That was why he cried.
But as a newborn, what could he do?
Toki lay nestled against a broad chest.
An ordinary body was no match for the physique of a top-tier martial master like Magnus. Since it was her first time, even managing to finish left her completely drained, collapsing in exhaustion. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱
Fortunately, Magnus was a man who cherished women.
Seeing how overwhelmed Toki was, he didn't press her further.
But Toki herself felt dejected.
"Captain Magnus… am I useless?"
"Still calling me captain?"
Magnus held her in his arms, breathing in her faint fragrance. With a teasing tone, he asked, "Outside, you can call me captain. But here… what should you call me?"
Understanding his meaning, Toki's cheeks flushed scarlet. She lowered her voice.
Hearing that word satisfied him deeply.
"We're about to reach Wano. When we arrive, wherever you want to go, I'll take you."
He knew visiting Wano had always been Toki's dream. Even if her expectations weren't as high as before, it was still the land she had longed to see.
Toki nodded shyly. She felt so fortunate.
Not only had she found Wano.
She had also found the man she loved — her ideal husband.
But she was still disappointed in herself.
Magnus clearly wasn't satisfied, and she couldn't keep up.
"I must work hard and train from now on!"
She encouraged herself silently, setting a new goal.
She knew she wasn't a prodigy like Rocks or Newgate, and this world was cruelly defined by talent.
But her gift wasn't poor either — in fact, even stronger than Magnus before he ate a Devil Fruit.
She might never reach the hundreds of millions, but seventy or eighty million worth of strength was within reach.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Captain, have you seen Stussy?"
It was Ripley's voice. Magnus felt Toki's body stiffen in his arms. To her, Ripley was the true partner, while she was just someone who came after.
She worried Ripley wouldn't accept her.
Magnus reassured her.
"Ripley isn't that petty."
He had barely spoken when the door opened.
"Yes, yes, I'm not that petty. I already guessed Sister Toki would be devoured sooner or later."
Ripley shot Magnus a glare.
"So Stussy's not here? I thought she'd be with you too."
Toki saw herself as the latecomer. In truth, Ripley did too — Magnus had more than one partner.
But Ripley was surprised Toki could endure Magnus alone.
She had thought it would take both Toki and Stussy together.
Magnus suddenly remembered. He had injected her with the Lust Hormone and then locked her up. Hours had passed.
When he finally opened the door, he found Stussy slumped against the wall, utterly spent, with a dazed look and a puddle beneath her.
The moment she saw him, her ragged breathing turned heavy again.
A burst of Conqueror's Haki washed over her, instantly clearing her head.
After all, emotions induced by a Devil Fruit could be dispelled by strong enough Haki.
But once she regained clarity and saw the state she was in, Stussy's face twisted with grief and anger.
Magnus braced himself to apologize.
"To leave me … Captain, you must take responsibility!"
No one knew how much she had endured.
He had ordered her to inject herself with her own Lust Hormone, cuffed her in Seastone, and left her helpless. Magnus was a demon.
And yet it was her own fault too.
Now, seeing Toki radiant and glowing at his side, Stussy's jealousy nearly shattered her teeth.
It should have been her!
Magnus sighed, seeing her on the verge of collapse.
"When we leave Wano, I'll give you what you want."
She had gone this far — how could Magnus refuse?
He crouched in front of her, tilting her chin up.
"If that's what you want, I'll give it to you."
His eyes burned with intensity, and Stussy shivered. The hormone's effect had worn off, but as Magnus's breath brushed her skin, as she looked at his handsome, mature face, her body grew warm again.
Her wrists bound, she shifted restlessly.
"Th-then I'll wait for you…"
Her timid voice, like a small animal, paired with her youthful beauty and voluptuous body, nearly ignited Magnus's desire once more.
After all, he and Toki hadn't truly been satisfied.
But Magnus still had his reason.
He released her and sent her to rest, finally letting out a long breath.
"By the way, Ripley, why were you looking for Stussy?"
"Oh, nothing serious."
It was just that after training with Linlin, Shiki and the others had gone to spar with Newgate, who accidentally beat them black and blue.
They'd wanted medicine from Stussy, but couldn't find her.
Even knowing she'd soon have more sisters, Ripley wasn't troubled. To her, it was natural.
Her captain was the strongest man in the world.
Of course countless women would love him.
If she got jealous every time, she'd be full just on jealousy.
And from Magnus's demeanor, Ripley, with her sharp Observation Haki, could tell — Toki hadn't satisfied him.
So her path was clear.
If she grew strong enough, Magnus would surely spend more time with her.
After all, the others simply couldn't compare.
"Oh, one more thing."
"We've spotted Wano!"
