Reality Bending in One Piece

Chapter 21: Chapter 21



As Alex stood there, his eyes took in Nami's figure, now fully revealed as she turned to face him.

Her orange hair flowed down her back. She was wearing a green and white bikini top that seemed designed to show off her toned shoulders and flawless midriff. Her boobs seemed to be just barely held back by her top.

His gaze drifted lower, catching the curve of her hips made more apparent by her blue skinny jeans.

Alex stepped forward, casually waving a hand like he owned the place. "Name's Alex. Your future captain."

Nami blinked, then scoffed, crossing her arms. "Captain? Of what? I already have a crew."

"Sure," Alex said, leaning casually against a nearby table. "But that was then. Now? You're joining my crew."

Nami raised an eyebrow, her tone sharp. "Oh really? And what makes you think you can just stroll in here and decide that for me?"

Her eyes narrowed, her hand drifting instinctively toward her waist, where her Clima-Tact was tucked away.

Even though Alex had Nojiko's approval, Nami wasn't a fan of the way he talked like her life choices were his to make.

Alex, unfazed, smiled to himself. He willed his powers to gently influence her, easing her suspicion and planting the idea that joining him was best for her, especially if it meant staying close to her sister.

Almost immediately, Nami's guarded expression softened. Her frown eased, and a small smile tugged at her lips.

Alex noticed the change and pressed on, his tone still confident. "You deserve a crew that won't abandon you, Nami. A captain you can count on."

He stepped closer, his voice lowering just enough to sound personal but still commanding. "And you'll get to stay with your sister—no more separation. Doesn't that sound better than anything you've had before?"

Nami glanced at Nojiko, who smiled encouragingly. After a brief pause, Nami sighed and nodded, her resistance fading.

"Alright," she said, her voice lighter. "Since Nojiko's already on board, I might as well join. Someone's gotta make sure she stays out of trouble."

Alex smirked, satisfied. "Welcome aboard, Nami."

With Nami joining him, Alex was happy that he had gained another crew member but more importantly another harem member for himself.

He focused his powers again, this time deepening Nami's loyalty and subtly instilling the sense that following his commands wasn't just her duty—it was the natural order of things.

"Nami," Alex said, stepping closer and locking eyes with her, "since you're part of my crew now, there are some rules that you have to follow."

"Now that you're part of my crew, there are a few important rules you need to understand."

Nami tilted her head slightly, curious. "Rules? Sure, if it's for the crew, I'll listen."

Alex's smile turned more self-assured. "Good. First, being in my crew means you're loyal to me above all else. No exceptions. Second, you're joining not just my crew but my harem."

Her eyes widened slightly, but Alex's powers ensured the concept didn't feel strange or unnatural.

"That means you love me," he continued smoothly, "and you're okay with me having other lovers. Lastly, you belong to me now—completely. There's no leaving. Ever."

Nami's body stiffened briefly, her expression unreadable as the commands sank in. Then, as if a switch had been flipped, her tension melted away, replaced by an almost eager smile.

"Of course," she said brightly, her voice filled with enthusiasm. "Since I've joined your crew, I'll follow your rules. It only makes sense."

Alex's grin widened. Perfect.

Alex nodded, satisfied with her response. "Good. I'm glad we understand each other, Nami. Welcome aboard for real this time."

Nojiko stepped closer, her smile warm but a bit amused. "You've always had a way of making things sound bigger than they are, Alex."

He smirked at her. "I don't exaggerate. I just see things the way they should be."

Nami rolled her eyes but laughed softly, already feeling the ease between her sister and Alex. It wasn't what she had expected when they arrived, but being close to Nojiko again was enough to make her decision feel right.

"Alright, Captain," Nami said, her tone light but with a playful edge. "What's next? Do we stay here or head off to wherever you're planning to drag us next?"

Alex turned, glancing out at the Black Pearl hovering just off the edge of the platform. "We're done here. There's nothing in Weatheria we need anymore. Time to move on."

With that, they made their way out of Weatheria. Nami waved goodbye to the scientists, thanking them for everything they had done for her during her time there.

As she walked back to the ship, her mind was already shifting toward what lay ahead with her new crew.

Once on board, Nami took Nojiko aside, the two sisters heading toward a quieter corner of the ship to talk privately.

Their soft voices could be heard in the distance as they caught up.

Meanwhile, Alex stayed by the helm with Hancock, his mind focused on the task at hand.

He willed the Black Pearl to take flight, the ship's sails adjusting as it began to rise from the floating platform.

Slowly, it ascended into the sky before angling downward, gliding smoothly toward the sea below.

Alex stayed with Hancock for some time enjoying the sea breeze then went with Hancock to his room.

Once inside, the door closed behind them with a quiet click, and Alex turned to Hancock with a smirk. "Now, let Nami and Nojiko talk with each other while we get together as well."

Hancock's cheeks flushed, but her confident smile never wavered as she stepped closer. "Anything for my captain."
