Chapter 20: Chapter 20: A Night of Mischief and the Island of misty
The moon shone high above the ship as the waves gently lapped against its hull. Xander lay on his bed, his eyes closed, savoring the calm of the night. However, the door creaked softly, pulling him from his light slumber.
Opening his eyes, Xander spotted two familiar figures sneaking into the room. He smirked. "Kaya? Mari?"
The two women froze briefly before exchanging mischievous grins. Without saying another word, they ran to his side, their soft laughter echoing through the room. Mari leaned down, whispering into his ear, "Captain… we'll take care of you tonight."
Kaya giggled shyly, but her determination was no less. Xander let out a low chuckle, already sensing where the night was headed.
And so, half the night passed in their embrace, Xander enjoying every second. However, as he lay on his back, catching his breath, his Observation Haki suddenly flared. Two faint silhouettes lingered at the door, watching.
Xander smirked and turned to face the entrance
"So, you two are peeking us? Huh!" His voice was teasing yet commanding.
At his words, Nami and Nojiko, who had been sitting on the floor just outside the door, playing with themselves while watching the intimate scene inside, froze. Their faces were flushed red, caught in the act.
Xander stood and walked to the door, his steps deliberate, his eyes never leaving them, And taking both of them by the arms and pulling them inside with a swift motion.
Both women stumbled into the room, still embarrassed but unable to hide the heated expression on their faces.
"You've been watching," Xander said, his tone a mix of amusement and authority. "That deserves punishment."
Before either of them could protest, Xander pulled them toward the bed, closing the door behind them. His hands found their way to their body pulling them into a deep kiss. His body heat seemed to rise as the room filled with an electric charge. Nami and Nojiko melted into the kiss, their hands running over his body as the Intimacy between them deepened.
The night turned into whirlwind of passion and teasing, the four of them enjoying each other's presence in every possible way. Laughter mixed with soft moans as they shared the night, losing track of time, enveloped in the warmth of their shared closeness.

The Next Morning
As sunlight poured through the window, Xander slowly woke up to the sight of four beauties curled up against him. Kaya clung to his arm, Mari snuggled close to his chest, while Nami and Nojiko lay on either side of him.
[Ding! System Notification: You have satisfied the desires of your harem members. Your effort has been rewarded!] [Reward: 43,000 HP]
Xander blinked in surprise. 43,000 HP? I hit the jackpot last night.
Grinning to himself, he carefully slid out of bed without waking the girls. Heading to the kitchen, he decided to reward them with a proper breakfast. As the smell of sizzling food filled the ship, the girls slowly woke up and joined him at the table, their faces glowing with happiness.
"Captain, you're spoiling us," Mari teased as she took a bite of toast.
Nami smirked. "Don't stop, though."
Laughter echoed as they enjoyed their meal together. It was a peaceful morning—until the ship began to drift into a thick, unnatural mist.

Somewhere in north blue
The calm seas were suddenly shrouded in smoke and fog, thick enough to obscure the horizon. Xander frowned as he steered the ship, his Observation Haki on high alert.
"What is this place?" Kaya asked, peering nervously into the mist.
Mari's brow furrowed. "It looks abandoned… but something feels off."
Xander stood tall, his voice steady. "Stay close to me. Don't wander off."
His Observation Haki flared again, and his eyes narrowed. "There are… strong presences that watching us."
The girls tensed, moving closer to Xander as the ship neared the shore. Stepping off the ship, they found themselves on a smoky, eerie island where the air seemed thick and heavy. Shadows flitted between the trees, and then—
"They're coming!" Xander shouted.
Suddenly, a group of wild-looking Women's charged out of the mist, their faces fierce and primal. They wore torn garments, their eyes sharp and predatory.
"Women's?" Nami exclaimed in disbelief.
Xander stepped forward, raising his hand. "Stay behind me!"
As the Women's attacked, Xander swiftly knocked them out one by one. Using precise strikes, he made sure not to hurt them too much. The fight ended quickly—until a sudden burst of Armament Haki came rushing at him.
A beautiful blonde woman leaped from the treeline, landing in front of him with a force that cracked the ground. She was tall and powerful, her wild golden hair flowing behind her, and her eyes burned with excitement.
"You are strong," she said, her fists coated in Armament Haki. "Let's see how strong you are!"
Xander grinned, cracking his knuckles. "Finally, a real fight."
The two clashed, their punches shaking the ground beneath them. Xander met her blows with his own, using his Armament Haki to match her strength. As the fight wore on, both grew more excited, pushing each other harder.
The hours slipped away unnoticed as their battle raged—two warriors pushing their limits, surrounded by mist and the unconscious forms of the island women.

Hours Later
Both fighters stood, breathing heavily, sweat dripping from their bodies. The blonde woman finally dropped to her knees, exhausted but smiling.
"You win," she panted, looking up at Xander. "You're the strongest man I've ever fought."
Xander extended a hand, helping her up. "You're strong too. What's your name?"
"Lana," she said. "I'm the leader of this island."
Xander smiled. "Lana, join me. Come with us and grow even stronger.
Lana looked at him, surprised by his offer. Then, a fierce smile spread across her face. "The strong lead, and the weak follow. I will join you, Captain."

[Ding! System Notification: You have recruited strong crew member!] [Reward: 20,000 HP]
Xander blinked as the notification appeared. Another jackpot.
The women cheered, and Xander looked at his crew—Nami, Nojiko, Kaya, Mari, and now Lana.
"We'll train here for six months," Xander announced. "When we leave, every single one of you will be stronger than ever."
His crew nodded in unison, determination lighting up their faces.
With the island as their temporary home, Xander knew this was just the beginning. Strength, power, and loyalty—all of it will grow here.
And with that, their training began, marking the start of a new chapter in their journey.
