After Felix upgrade on the ship, not only it's design were praise worthy. But also it's speed. If from before, the sail has a lot of holes, weak and small. The current cloth of the new sail were hard as a rock and was much bigger than before. As such the ship was moving faster and it didn't took long for all the people that board the ship to have a sight of the Mecho Island.
All the girls immediately celebrate by jumping around and hugging each other. It could be a paradise on any men if they were in Felix position. All the girls on the ship were wearing bikinis after they entered a hot zone on the Grandline. Thus, all the girls decided to remove their clothes and only left some so they could feel comfortable again. They didn't mind Felix, the only man in the ship to see them in that type of clothing as they have already become comfortable around Felix.
As this was happening, Felix was in the corner of the deck and was sitting on his custom chair that under a beach umbrella which kept his eyes from being irritated. There was also a table on his side that had food and drinks that was serve to him by the chef girls.
Looking at that, Mia couldn't help but be annoyed and she slowly approach Felix with pouting expression. She was really cute while wearing her pink bikini. Many men in her village has flirted with her when their village was still peaceful, they often come to the restaurant to flirt instead of eat what they order. But because she didn't want to be in a relationship, she didn't accept any of them. One even tried to force himself into her but that guy was almost beaten to death by his brother and father.
"Are you enjoying the view?"
Felix raised his brows to such a question. The beautiful sea that was enhance by the sun was of course beautiful. Before he was reincarnated here in this world, he lived in a very workaholic life to support his family. And so, it was very rare for him to have some peace and vacation. As such, he Felix couldn't help but relax more on the king type chair that he made as he said.
"Yeah, I feel like I'm in heaven. This is the first time I could be relax like this after a long time. . . I wish I could have this forever."
Seeing that sincere and peaceful expression, Mia heart was soften. She quickly forgotten about her original intention to interrogate Felix if he was interested in any girls here and decided to change the topic.
"Are you really not coming to my village?"
"Yes, although I'm very close to all of you now, but I don't really have any person I know in your village. And also, I can be sometimes be uncomfortable around people that I don't know."
Felix was an introvert in his pastlife and hardly talk to anyone. His work style not let him made any friends, even inside the company, not many people would talk to him. Exception to it was these girls which was on board with him. It was still unknown to him where did he get such a confidence talking to all the girls here and commanding them. Maybe it was because he was invincible or maybe he already changed?
When Mia hear Felix answer her question again, she decided not to ask about it anymore. She felt that his answer was understandable since they only know each other for a couple of days. But for some reason, she felt that Felix had something that preventing him from coming down.
Of course, Felix was oblivious on what Mia was thinking. But what Mia was thinking was right. He had something that preventing him from coming down the ship which was his limited Domain Range. Although it had already extended until it already passed the ship. Felix know that it wasn't enough to have him explored the whole island of Mecho.
Felix know just how massive every Island on this world was. Even if he wasted his leftover 5000 Domain Points, he know that it won't even cover a fraction of the island. So wasting that many points to explore the island was going to waste it. There is much better decisions like upgrading the system which he knows that it would give him more benefits.
"But I will wait for you and others to comeback after you visit your village."
"Thank you!"
The two of them had talk about some things yesterday, including Mia losing her brother and father which was her only family left. Thus she asked Felix if she could still stay in the ship since she doesn't know where to go now. Felix happily accepted her and told her that she could think of this ship as her second home.
Tasha, Near and other girls also came to known about Felix accepting Mia to stay on the ship so they also asked him. They also had their families killed by the pirates like Mia and don't know where to go. Felix ship was one of the happiest place they ever been, luxury like and they also can have fun with other people they know. And so, when they hear about Mia getting accepted, they quickly rushed and asked Felix too.
Felix happily accepted them since the more the merrier. There was another reason which was they can be convenient to be around with. Of course, he could do all their work himself like driving and cooking some with his powers. But if he really thinks about it, it was really boring.

Some girls were also tempted to also ask Felix to let them stay but these girls have families still alive and so they can only wish the others good luck when they parted away.
. . .
The ship finally arrive at the shore of Mecho island. Near quickly docked the massive ship closely on the island sand beach. After that, Felix quickly levitated all the girls and carefully drop them down on the ground.
All the girls didn't immediately left, instead, they turned around and bow toward Felix while saying thank you. Then they started walking to the paths they were familiar with.
Mia was one of them. After they reached the village, the villagers who were still alive quickly run towards the returning girls to see if one of them was their families. Mia saw his father and brother getting stab to death so she knows that they were already dead. But it still hurts when she couldn't see them running towards her like others.
Mia then decide to directly head to their restaurant house. She teared up after she saw her family restaurant and couldn't help but compared it from before, where her father and brother were happily cooking and serving people food to now run down restaurant with no people.
The door of the house were destroyed by the pirates. Mia could still remember how the pirates drag her through that door and was again paled. Thankfully, it wasn't enough to prevent her from going inside.
When she got inside, it was surprisingly cleaned. But Mia quickly frowned when she didn't saw her father and brother body. Until she came into a conclusion that his father close friends probably took his father and brother towards the hill and buried them like others.
Thus, Mia immediately packed all things she needed like her family pictures and some clothes. Then she quickly left the house and headed towards one of his father closed friend house. When she arrive there and asked about her father and brother body, her uncle said that he buried them on the hill near to her mother. After thanking him, she left and go to the hill.
When Mia arrived at where her mother was buried, she also saw two new cross near her mother. Mia quickly approach them and sat. She then begun talking to them about her past experiences while crying.
. . .
After waiting for sometime, the girls that said they want to stay in the ship were coming one by one. Felix was transporting inside the ship continuously until one person remain is not here yet.
"Where is Mia?"
Near remembered seeing Mia asking something on his uncle and then go the the hill where the graveyard was located. It didn't take long for her to came to a conclusion and said.
"She was probably on the hill where we usually buried the dead. My father said to me that all the people that died on the pirate attack was already buried there so she most likely visiting her parents and brother grave."
Hearing that, Felix couldn't help but pity these people. And so he promised the family of the girls that decided to stay in his ship the he will protect them.
It didn't took a while for Mia to appear on the shore. She was visibly sweating and panting hard, showing how much energy she used to arrive there. Felix didn't hesitate to lift her up and get her on the deck while giving her some energy.
When Mia landed on the deck, she felt ashamed, and so she quickly bow and apologized.
"I'm sorry!! I didn't notice the time while I was on my parents and brother grave!!"
Near didn't care about the apology and instead hugged Mia.
"It must be hard for you so you should quickly rest."
"Yes, thank you Near."
There was only 24 women who decided to stay on ship. But for Felix, this is more than enough. Thus after seeing that all of them was already here, he immediately order for them to set sail.
. . .
The ship was now moving at a moderate speed. Felix made all the girls sleep first since he knows how hard they go through after the visit on the Mecho island. He was the one controlling the ship, and so he drive moderately since he doesn't have any particular direction to go yet.
His problem that preventing him from going to any land was his limited Domain Range. As much as he wanted to go to any land, with such a small Domain Range, he could only go with limited area closely to his ship.
He has a planned on upgrading his system first because there might something useful thing that showed up after the system was upgraded. Felix doesn't really know what is it yet but his gut was telling him to upgrade the system first.
Though unfortunately, he lacked Domain Points for now. So he was currently driving his ship on randoms locations, hoping that some strong pirates show up so he could gain more Domain Points.
As Felix was relaxing on the deck of the ship, he suddenly sense something collosal approaching the ship. He stopped it before it go further and might damage the ship.
"A Sea Beast?"
Felix decided to levitate the giant entity Infront of the ship to confirm his thought. Indeed, he was right. It was a giant Sea Beast with the body of a normal fish. It was continuously trying to breakfree from the Domain using it's still free body parts which the Domain couldn't cover.
"I want to make you my pet but we lacked food right now. . ."
As if the Sea Beast could understand what Felix what saying, it begun to violently tried to break free from the Domain. Unfortunately for it, it was cut in many pieces by Felix using the fork that was on his table. Then Felix put three giant parts of the Sea Beast on the deck while the other was put below of the ship to gather more Sea Beast.
[Congratulations host for killing a Tier 5 being. You receive 1000 Domain Points.]
Felix was looking at the three giant parts of the sea beast with smile. With these, they don't have to worry about food for a week or two. After looking at it, he then used his power to clean all the three parts. Then he removed a part of his ship where the inventory was located and put the three huge parts inside. After that, he close it and sat on his chair again.
Now he only need to wait for the other Sea Beast to took the bait. He doesn't really know if this will work but he want to took his chance since he really wanted to upgrade the system now.
. . .
Meanwhile, while Felix was having a relaxing life. The Fleet Admiral of the Marines were having a hard time as he mark all the documents on his desk. It was a stock pile of documents that even with three people, it would took them all day long to mark all of this.
Sengoku couldn't help but remember about a certain fruit that could clone it's user as he mark the documents. But then again, if he really ate that fruit, he would be a lot weaker than his present self and might not even a Fleet Admiral. Forget about being a Fleet Admiral, he might not even become an Admiral if he really ate that fruit.
The user of that clone fruit was one of his friends which was already dead. He wasn't able to properly develop the fruit, and so a pirate captain was able to take his life.
As Sengoku was marking the documents, someone suddenly knock the door of his office.
"It's open!"
After saying that, a man wearing the marine clothes entered. This was Sengoku helper which he especially assigned to that position because he knows how efficient this guy at handling his work.
"What is it, bero? Don't tell me that one of the four bastards did something again?!!"
Bero smiled awkwardly while looking at the stressed Sengoku. Recently, the four emperor's of the sea were making a lot of moves. Many reports kept piling up and going through the Fleet Admiral office. So it was understandable the look on Sengoku face.
". . . Actually, it's not about those four. A certain person without any identification suddenly appeared on the Grandline and killed one of our Vice Admiral with ease. The survivors of the attack said that person massacre them in a matter of seconds."
Sengoku frowed after hearing that. It wasn't normal for strong pirates to do similar things. But this was just out of nowhere and from a random person that they don't even know.
"Put a 100 million berries on that person."
"Yes!"
After saluting toward Sengoku, Bero left. Thus the Fleet Admiral was left alone again, thinking of something.
"Another one appeared huh? Hopefully it just a random and won't cause too much chaos."
