This...
Stussy's eyes widened, her red lips slightly parted. For a moment, her mind went blank.
A surge of panic and fear overwhelmed her, and the black bat wings on her back trembled uncontrollably, whipping up a violent gust that shredded the bedsheets.
"What... what are you trying to do!?"
She had finally lost her composure.
Those eerie blood-red eyes locked onto the man in front of her, who radiated an aura of bloodlust and raw aggression.
"What do you think?"
"Stussy, you're the Queen of the Pleasure District—this sea's uncrowned ruler of indulgence. You, of all people, should understand a man's heart best, shouldn't you?"
Daren gripped Stussy's delicate, pale wrists and forced them above her head with brute strength, a cold smirk on his face.
Her body trembled violently. Her cheeks flushed deep red, lips bitten open by her own sharp vampire fangs, letting blood drip down in a scene both eerie and alluring.
"Damn it!!"
She clenched her teeth hard, unleashing every ounce of strength and willpower she had. Even her Armament Haki flared to life in a desperate attempt to resist Daren's force.
The air roared through the room, shaking the floorboards and walls until cracks formed.
"Let me go!!"
Daren frowned.
If she kept resisting this fiercely, things would get troublesome.
So, without hesitation, he played his final card. A sly grin crept across his lips.
"Queen Stussy... you don't want the World Government finding out about your loyalty to Vegapunk, do you?"
It hit her like a bolt of lightning. Her face turned ghostly pale.
She froze, staring at Daren in horror.
That she served Dr. Vegapunk... was her greatest, most closely guarded secret.
If the World Government ever found out—she couldn't even begin to imagine the kind of nightmare that awaited her.
As a member of CP0, Stussy knew all too well how terrifying the interrogations and torture methods used within the CP organizations truly were.
No chance of living, no chance of dying.
And worse, if the secret got out, it wouldn't just be her who suffered—Dr. Vegapunk would be dragged down with her.
Her own life didn't matter. But no matter what, she couldn't let Vegapunk be harmed because of her mistake.
Stussy's expression shifted rapidly. Her vampire fangs dug into her lip as she bit down hard. Soon, she stopped resisting.
She glared at Daren, her voice filled with fury.
"You really are a despicable piece of trash!"
Daren just laughed it off.
"Even trash has principles."
"Besides, you were the one who seduced me first."
"And..."
As if sensing something, he flashed a sinister grin.
"You're saying no with your mouth, but your body's being awfully honest…"
At those words, shame and anger flickered in Stussy's eyes.
She said nothing, turning her head to the side in silence—a silent admission.
The black bat wings behind her, along with her vampire fangs, slowly began to retract as she prepared to return to her human form.
"No. Stay like that."
Daren suddenly said.
Stussy paused, stunned.
He gave a half-smile.
"I want the vampire."
Her eyes widened, cheeks burning red.
But before she could react, a low growl like that of a wild beast echoed in her ear.
In the next moment—
Her mind went completely blank.
...
How Strong Is Daren's Indestructible Body?
Apart from Kaidou himself, Stussy was the second person to face such overwhelming power head-on.
After an unknown amount of time, everything gradually settled down.
The room was a complete mess.
The floor was cracked.
The bed had collapsed.
At the start, it was Daren lying on the bed while Stussy sat on the sofa with her legs elegantly crossed.
Now, the roles had reversed.
In the room,
Daren sat on one side, and Stussy lay on the other.
Daren, legs crossed, sat comfortably on a leather sofa. He casually picked up a luxurious gold-embossed cigar from the nearby coffee table, bit it between his teeth, and lit it with satisfaction.
He took a deep drag, letting the rich, aromatic smoke roll down his throat, then inhaled it all into his lungs through his windpipe. His eyes squinted in contentment.
His entire body felt relaxed!
Of course, cigars weren't meant to be inhaled—doing so could seriously harm the respiratory system.
But thanks to the training from that fat guy in suspenders, Daren had already been exposed to all kinds of deadly viruses. He could practically be called immune to all poisons.
Combined with the incredible resilience and self-healing of his "Indestructible Body," any side effects were negligible.
Otherwise, he'd be too weak.
While puffing his cigar, Daren looked over at Stussy again.
The infamous Queen of the Pleasure District now lay there like a puddle of melted wax. Her body was curled up, cheeks flushed, covered in sweat, lips parting with visible bursts of heat.
The black bat wings on her back had folded in and trembled slightly. Her toes, painted with vivid red nail polish, curled as her arched feet flexed gently.
The sight filled Daren with a deep, indescribable sense of accomplishment and conquest.
Stussy was no ordinary woman.
Queen of the Pleasure District.
Member of the World Government's top intelligence agency.
Underworld Emperor...
With all those identities, she exuded a natural nobility and mystery.
Put simply... she was thrilling.
And with her considerable strength and the physical enhancements from her Mythical Zoan-type abilities, Daren had the perfect chance to push his newly awakened powers to the limit—
Aside from his "Indestructible Body," he had begun testing:
—"Giant's Strength"
—"Soru's Godspeed"
"I really owe Kaidou-sensei for this. Gotta remember to bring a gift next time I visit."
Daren muttered with a pleased smile.
If not for Kaidou-sensei's teachings, trying to dominate this woman with just "Tekkai" wouldn't have been nearly enough.
"You bastard..."
At that moment, Stussy finally began to recover from the tremors that had wracked her body. She slowly raised her head, glaring at Daren with fury in her eyes.
Daren raised both hands innocently.
"Didn't you enjoy it too?"
Stussy clenched her teeth in shame and rage.
"I—I did not!"
A flicker of confusion flashed in Daren's eyes.
That didn't seem like something the Queen of the Pleasure District would say.
Wasn't she supposed to be an experienced courtesan?
He shot her a casual glance—
And instantly choked on his cigar, breaking into a violent coughing fit.
He hadn't noticed it during the earlier intensity.
But now, he clearly saw it—
A bright red stain on the sheets.
Daren froze.
Staring in disbelief.
The Queen of this sea's red-light district... was a virgin!?
This... could you even believe it?
How was that possible!?
