Summoner in One Piece

Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Foundations



The morning sun, bright and promising, streamed through the window of Alex's bedchamber. Rui awoke slowly, a soft flush creeping across her face as she realized she was naked, Alex's arm draped over her, the clear evidence of their scandalous night surrounding them. She blushed furiously, a mixture of embarrassment and a strange, burgeoning warmth. Soon after, Alex stirred beside her, his own eyes opening, a satisfied smile playing on his lips as he looked at her.

After they had quietly freshened up, Alex instructed a maid to fetch Olvia, Erza, and Tsunade for breakfast.

The morning meal was a curious affair. As everyone settled around the grand table, serving themselves from the array of dishes, a subtle undercurrent permeated the air. Everyone present, particularly Tsunade and Erza, couldn't help but notice Rui. She sat more upright than before, her usual guardedness replaced by a softer demeanor, her eyes frequently, almost unconsciously, flicking towards Alex, like a maiden caught stealing glances at her beloved crush. The swiftness with which Alex had seemingly won over the notoriously defiant former noble was a source of quiet astonishment.

Olvia, ever perceptive, couldn't suppress a playful smirk. She caught Tsunade's eye, a spark of mischief there. "Well, it seems our Alex truly lives up to his reputation," she murmured, loud enough for Erza to overhear. "No wonder he conquers such strong women. First you, Tsunade, swept off your feet in that village, then Erza, my formidable Knight, and now even Rui, who was so adamantly against him."

Tsunade's cheeks flushed, and Erza, usually unreadable, averted her gaze slightly, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. Alex, meanwhile, concealed an inward grin. He wondered how Rui didn't seem to hold any hatred for him anymore, deciding he would approach her later to understand this unexpected shift.

After breakfast, as everyone dispersed to their duties, Alex sought out Rui in the sprawling mansion garden. The morning dew still clung to the leaves, and the air was fresh and fragrant. They chatted for some time, Alex's questions gentle, his presence reassuring.

As she grew more comfortable, her initial shyness giving way to a nascent ease, Alex began to romance her, his words tender, his gaze warm. The transition was smooth, almost imperceptible. Soon, amidst the blooming flowers and the gentle rustle of leaves, Alex found himself taking Rui right there in the garden.

Rui was bewildered, a mix of pleasure and disbelief swirling within her. How had she allowed such a "perverted action" in the very garden of the City Lord's mansion? Yet, even as the thought formed, her body responded to Alex's every touch, her resistance melting away.

Alex, in turn, realized the full extent of his "Goddess's Consort" blessing. The effect was undeniable; it subtly enhanced his charisma and influence over females, making them more inclined towards his desires, dissolving their inhibitions without truly stripping them of their will. It was a potent, dangerous, and incredibly useful ability.

Later that day, Alex dispatched urgent messages to Olvia, Tsunade, and Erza. He laid out his new directives: they were to begin preparing the remaining Warriors in Tonryuu to take on important leadership and administrative positions within the fief.

Talent was to be the primary criterion for selection, with a focus on matching Warrior skills to the required posts. If no single individual perfectly fit a role, they were to select the best available option and assign dedicated helpers or guides to assist and mentor them. The stability of Tonryuu, its effective governance, was paramount.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, a whirlwind of activity and unexpected domesticity. Four months had passed since Alex's return from the One Piece world.

Alex's relationship with Rui deepened rapidly. He spent countless hours with her, often engaging in passionate lovemaking multiple times a day. His consistent presence, his tenderness in private, and the potent allure of the "Goddess's Consort" blessing steadily eroded her lingering fear and resentment, replacing it with a deep, unwavering loyalty.

Her former allies, the nobles who had been part of the resistance, seeing Rui's complete transformation and her close relationship with Alex, soon followed suit, pledging their allegiance and beginning to work actively with Alex's administration.

Confirming his intent with Ei Sei, who readily gave his approval for such a strategic alliance, Alex publicly married Rui, formalizing her place within his household and the fief. Although Rui's loyalty blossomed, Alex, remembering the previous summoning disaster, decided to refrain from having her perform any summons.

Rui, however, eventually grew somewhat weary of the incessant passion. Discreetly, she consulted with Tsunade, Erza, and Olvia.

After some discussion and shared, knowing glances, they all agreed that it was, indeed, time for Alex to embrace the concept of a larger harem. Rui, with her administrative prowess and understanding of the local nobility, eagerly took on the monumental task of establishing a dedicated harem palace for Alex.

She meticulously selected daughters and other available females from notable families, wealthy merchants, and other influential figures within the fief. Bringing these women into the harem not only granted them and their families certain benefits and elevated status but, more importantly, secured a steady influx of talented individuals into Tonryuu's administration.

This strategic move, which Alex's core group had discussed privately, significantly eased the administrative burden and stress, further stabilizing and prospering their fief.

Rui herself discovered she was pregnant soon after joining the harem, adding another layer to the household's burgeoning family.

Alex continued to engage intimately with these new harem members, ensuring their loyalty before dedicating them to various administrative tasks. Those girls who were not deemed sufficiently loyal were kept within the secure confines of the harem palace courtyard, under Rui's watchful management.

Another major development was Olvia's training. Alex, knowing her invaluable strategic mind and her desire to see the world, had explicitly told her that she would be coming to the One Piece world with him. He personally undertook her training, pushing her physical and combat abilities to new limits.

As time went on, their relationship deepened, moving beyond mentorship into a profound connection. One fateful day, Alex, sensing the time was right, lured Olvia into his room. Their passionate union lasted the entire day, a fact that became well-known throughout the mansion, a testament to the intensity of their bond.

Afterward, Alex and Olvia also got married, formalizing their partnership. Furthermore, Olvia's combat powers and efficiency underwent a drastic, almost miraculous change, a clear manifestation of the "Goddess's Consort" blessing working its transformative magic.

The household rejoiced when Tsunade gave birth to a healthy baby boy. They named him Blaze D. Ammar. Alex received a system notification confirming that Ammar possessed both chakra and mana, and a latent ability to summon, making him strong beyond normal children from birth. Everyone, from Alex and his wives to the household staff, was utterly enchanted by Ammar's cuteness. His presence further cemented the bonds within their unconventional family.

Adding another layer of wonder, Hasegawa, the benevolent visitor from that midnight encounter, appeared once more, this time specifically to bless baby Ammar. She became his official godmother – a comical truth, considering her literal divine status. With her blessing, she bestowed upon Ammar a unique spiritual gift: Spiritual Resonance, it provides a strong, innate connection to spirits and summoned beings, allowing for easier interaction, control, and a calming aura that can pacify wild creatures.. She also gifted him a mysterious Pokémon egg. Tsunade diligently fed the egg her chakra, and Alex infused it with his mana. However, it was Erza's potent dragon-type mana that proved most effective, causing the egg to make the most progress.

One month ago, the egg finally hatched, revealing a Dratini, a small, serpentine dragon Pokémon. Soon after, Ammar and Dratini bonded very well, the little dragon staying close to Ammar as his dedicated guardian.

Olvia, witnessing the joy and completeness Ammar brought, became an active partner to Alex, openly expressing her desire to become pregnant herself.

In these four months, Alex's fief expanded significantly, though not yet to a vast imperial scale. A couple of surrounding villages, drawn by Tonryuu's stability and prosperity, officially declared their allegiance, becoming followers of Afureia, further solidifying Alex's influence. Additionally, new villages were established, strategically built to house the influx of refugees who sought residence in Tonryuu, expanding their territory and population.

Erza dedicated herself to training their army to its limits. The entire core group, including Alex, continued to train vigorously, refining their skills. While the inherent restraints of this world limited their ultimate strength, the benefits of the "Goddess's Consort" skill were clear: the women, particularly Erza, Tsunade, Olvia, and Rui, found their skills, mana or chakra control, and efficiency increasing at an astonishing rate. Many important leadership positions, both within the growing army and the expanding fief administration, were now taken up by his most trusted Warriors. 

Koji and Haru, in particular, rose to powerful positions, ensuring the loyalty and smooth operation of their respective departments, effectively preventing anyone from undermining their authority or attempting to seize control of their assets.

Now, Blaze D. Ammar is three months old, and the Dratini, hatched a month ago, is growing steadily. Alex has made a firm decision: he will return to the world of One Piece. He revealed his plan to his wives and closest companions – they would wait until Ammar reached five years of age. He convinced Tsunade that this extra year was essential for Ammar's foundational development and for the full stabilization of Tonryuu.

With this new timeline, Alex began stockpiling vast amounts of essential supplies and versatile gears. Everything from medical provisions to combat equipment, durable clothing, and non-perishable food was meticulously gathered and stored. They were getting ready. Soon, with their strengthened family, a stable domain, and a formidable personal force, they would depart back to the One Piece world for a new, grand adventure.
