[A/N: mc's thoughts: ' ' ]
At the Moby Dick, Marco and Vista approached Majima, who couldn't help but feel uneasy at the looks on their faces.
He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but their expressions seemed to have some sort of deeper meaning that only men would understand.
With a smile, Marco spoke first, addressing Majima, "We've noticed how hard you work to draw comics for our crew. We feel bad about it."
Then, Vista chimed in, "That's right, Majima. Is there anything you need? We may not have any other special abilities, but we're always willing to lend a hand in any way we can."
Majima's mind raced with confusion, wondering what was going on with these two.
Were they suddenly coming out as gay or something?
Feeling uncomfortable, Majima interrupted them with a disgusted look on his face, saying, "Let's cut to the chase here, guys."
"Ahahahaha! Majima, we see that you work so hard to draw comics every day, and the brothers in the group can't do anything with nothing, so we have arranged a maid for you to take care of your life," Visa laughed.
Maid?
Majima gave these two guys a surprised look~
Unexpectedly!
You two guys with thick eyebrows and big eyes, you still have this kind of idea?
But if he thought about it carefully, it was not a bad idea to have a maid.
After all, Majima felt uncomfortable always letting those skinny guys clean the room for him.
"Okay, since you have already arranged it, do as you want," Majima nodded and agreed to Visa's proposal.
Hearing this, Visa was overjoyed and clapped his hands. The door was pushed open, and a woman named Ulti walked in.
Majima looked up subconsciously. 'Oh no! What's going on here?!'
Suddenly, Majima's eyes widened in shock!
'Oh my god Is this really a maid!'
When Vista first mentioned a maid, Majima assumed it was just a nickname or something. He never expected an actual maid to show up, and in a cute Loli style no less!
To make matters worse, the girl is absolutely stunning! How could a member of the Whitebeard Pirates have such a beautiful maid?
Majima's reaction did not go unnoticed by Marco and Vista. They exchanged a knowing look, clearly pleased with their captain's interest in the maid.
But just as Majima was starting to get used to the idea of having a maid, he suddenly realized something.
Wait a minute!
He recognized the maid as Ulti from the Beasts Pirates! How did she end up here?
Without missing a beat, Marco explained: "Majima, she was caught by our patrol team while trying to gather information on the Whitebeard Pirates. But I thought she had a pretty good image, so I suggested she work for you as a maid."
'Goodness gracious! These guys really have my back!'
'They got a feisty dragon girl to be my maid?'
'These guys really know how to play!'
'But when I think about it, it's actually quite interesting!'
'It would be boring to have a maid who is too quiet and submissive.'
"Well, let's do it. I could really use a woman around here."
'As the saying goes, Remember that a house does not exist on the ground, but it rests upon a woman!'
'I end up doing everything myself, from housework to serving tea and water.'
As a manga artist who's drawn hundreds of comics, it's not too hard to say that I do everything myself.
However, my words seemed to have a different meaning for Marco and Vista...
Look at them!
'They must think that I'm desperate for a woman!'
'I bet they wish they had found me a maid sooner!'
"Hey! You're Majima, right? I'm your new maid from today." Ulti said with a bad attitude.
With her fiery personality, there's no way she would willingly become someone else's maid.
But Vista had given her two options:
One was to become Majima's maid, and in exchange, her brother would become a member of the Whitebeard Pirates.
The other was to reject the offer and meet an untimely end alongside her sibling.
Everyone on the ship was surprised to see Ulti, but it was expected as they were all pirates. Despite Ulti's fierce and protective attitude towards her brother, it was clear that Vista couldn't use it to threaten her.
Majima observed Ulti's hot-headed temperament, which was consistent with her character in the original work However, for Majima, this was not a problem.
A well-behaved person could easily be convinced to obey, and even a grumpy girl like Ulti could be tamed as long as her ego was satisfied.
Marco then approached Majima, feeling embarrassed about asking for advice on a recent training problem. However, Majima had previously stated that he was available for any development-related questions, so it didn't seem out of place for Marco to ask.
Even without Marco's question, Majima had been planning to seek him out as his phoenix bloodline had not improved beyond the fifth level for a while, which he believed was partly Marco's fault.
"Hey, what's your problem? Can't you hear me talking to you?" Ulti yelled at Majima when he saw that he was ignoring her and talking to Marco.
Majima shifted his gaze towards Ulti, who immediately responded with an angry retort, "What are you looking at?"
Majima was left speechless.
Originally, Majima wanted to help Marco with his problem and then teach Ulti how to be a good maid. However, it now seemed that teaching Ulti was the more urgent matter.
I didn't answer Ulti, but instead turned to Marco and Vista. "Hey guys, can you step out for a bit? I have a personal issue to attend to, but I'll catch up with you once it's resolved."
I casually gestured towards Ulti with my right hand, and added, "Sorry for the inconvenience, it's just something urgent."
'I couldn't risk Ulti ruining my plans for the day. I needed to take care of my personal matter as soon as possible.'
"Hahaha, sure Majima, take your time, take your time," Marco said with a smile.
"Ha! Alright, Majima, do your thing! You're really something, man!" Vista added, also grinning.
Together, they left the room, leaving me alone with Ulti.
