A Smoldering Ember in Sabaody: One Night with Shakky

The last bubble popped, its iridescent skin winking out of existence against the high ceiling of the Rip-Off Bar. Outside, the unique chaos of the Sabaody Archipelago had finally quieted to a low hum, the moon casting a silver sheen on the massive Yarukiman Mangrove roots that framed the windows. Inside, there was only the clink of glass, the slow, seductive curl of cigarette smoke, and the woman who was the soul of this place: Shakuyaku. To the world, she was Shakky, the unflappable information broker and partner to the Dark King. To me, after all these years, she was an enigma wrapped in a familiar, intoxicating haze.

I sat at the polished bar, nursing the last of my rum, watching her. Every movement she made was a study in practiced, languid grace. The way she wiped down the counter, her long, slender fingers expertly maneuvering the cloth; the way she brought the cigarette to her lips, inhaling with a quiet contemplation that seemed to hold the wisdom of ages. Her black, bobbed hair framed a face that time had treated with a sculptor’s care, etching lines of knowing humor around her eyes and a permanent, subtle smirk on her lips. She was a woman who had seen the rise and fall of eras, who had loved one of the world's most infamous pirates, and who still carried herself with the untouchable cool of someone who knew every secret worth knowing.

“You’re staring again, dear,” she said, her voice a low, smoky purr that slid down my spine like warm whiskey. She didn’t look up from polishing a tall glass, but I knew her gaze was on me, reflected in the gleaming surface.

I gave a weak chuckle, swirling the amber liquid in my cup. “Can you blame me? It’s a quiet night. Not much else to look at.”

She finally lifted her eyes, and they met mine with an intensity that always stole the air from my lungs. They were dark, intelligent, and held a glint of playful mischief that was perpetually simmering just below the surface. “Is that so? I seem to recall a time when you found the grain of this woodwork utterly fascinating for two hours straight. I believe a Marine vice admiral was sitting right where you are now.”

A genuine smile broke across my face. She remembered. Of course, she did. Shakky forgot nothing. “He was asking too many questions about Ray-san. Figured the bar was more interesting than a cell in Impel Down.”

“A wise choice,” she conceded, placing the pristine glass back on the shelf. She moved from behind the bar then, her walk a hypnotic sway that drew my eyes to the impossible curve of her hips and the round, firm swell of her incredible ass beneath her simple, dark dress. For a woman of her age, her body was a masterpiece, a testament to a life lived fully and without restraint. It was a body that promised experience, confidence, and a fire that had never been extinguished. She settled on the stool next to me, the faint scent of tobacco and a unique, womanly musk reaching me, making my head spin more than the rum ever could.

“The world is changing,” she mused, her voice softer now that she was beside me. “This new generation of pirates… they’re a storm. Loud, chaotic, and full of a frightening sort of conviction. It feels familiar.”

“It reminds you of him,” I said, not as a question.

She smiled, a genuine, wistful thing that transformed her face. “It reminds me of a time when the sea felt limitless, and we were all fools who believed we could conquer it.” She turned to face me fully, her knee brushing against mine. The contact was electric, a spark in the quiet intimacy of the empty bar. “And what about you? Still chasing old ghosts on these seas?”

My gaze dropped from her eyes to her lips, then lower, to the tantalizing shadow between her breasts, visible in the modest neckline of her dress. Her big tits pressed against the fabric, full and heavy, promising a softness that I had spent countless nights imagining. I swallowed, my throat suddenly dry. “Something like that. Mostly just trying to stay afloat. It’s not a young man’s game anymore.”

“Nonsense,” she purred, reaching out and placing her hand over mine on the bar. Her fingers were cool and steady, but a tremor of energy passed between us. “A man’s worth isn’t measured in his youth, but in his depth. You’ve always been deeper than most.” Her thumb stroked the back of my hand, a slow, deliberate motion that sent shivers through my entire body. The air grew thick with unspoken things, with years of shared glances, quiet conversations, and a tension that had been building like a gathering tide.

She leaned in closer, her voice dropping to a near-whisper, her warm breath ghosting across my cheek. “The bar is closed. Everyone is gone. Why are you still here?”

The question hung between us, heavy and loaded. I could have lied. I could have made an excuse about finishing my drink or enjoying the quiet. But looking into her knowing eyes, I knew that only the truth would suffice. “Because I didn’t want to leave,” I admitted, my voice hoarse. “Because leaving meant another night of thinking about what it would be like to stay.”

The corner of her mouth quirked into that signature, seductive smile. It was slow, confident, and utterly devastating. She stood, her hand leaving mine, and I felt the loss of her touch immediately. “Well then,” she said, her voice regaining its playful command. “Who am I to stand in the way of a man’s curiosity? Come on. Let’s have a proper drink upstairs. This cheap rum is for the customers.”

My heart hammered against my ribs as I followed her. I watched the mesmerizing sway of her big ass with every step she took up the wooden staircase to her private quarters. The dress she wore was simple, but it did nothing to hide the powerful, womanly figure beneath it. Each step was a promise, an invitation into a world I had only ever glimpsed from afar. The air here was different, more intimate, scented with her personal fragrance and old books. It was her sanctuary.

She led me into a cozy living room, lit by a single warm lamp. She poured two glasses of a dark, aged brandy that smelled of oak and cherries before sinking onto a plush sofa. She patted the cushion beside her, and I sat down, my body buzzing with a nervous energy I hadn’t felt in decades. We drank in silence for a moment, the only sound the soft ticking of a clock somewhere in the room.

“You know,” she began, setting her glass down and turning her body to face me fully, drawing one leg up onto the sofa. The dress rode up her thigh, revealing a long, toned leg and the lacy edge of a stocking. “A woman can feel a man’s eyes on her. For years, I’ve felt yours. Not like the others. Not hungry or greedy. But… appreciative. Patient.”

“I’ve always respected you, Shakky,” I managed to say, my eyes fixed on the sliver of exposed skin.

“I know,” she said, and her voice was a velvet caress. “That’s why you’re here.” She reached out, her fingers tracing the line of my jaw. “But respect isn’t what I feel in your gaze tonight. Tonight… it’s something more. Something raw.” She leaned forward, closing the distance between us. Her scent was intoxicating, a heady mix of smoke, perfume, and her own unique essence. Her lips were inches from mine. “Show me,” she whispered. “Stop being patient.”

That was all the permission I needed. I closed the gap, and my lips met hers. The kiss was not gentle. It was a collision of years of pent-up longing and unspoken desire. It was deep, wet, and hungry. Her lips were soft and yielding, and she tasted of brandy and secrets. Her arms wrapped around my neck, pulling me closer, deepening the kiss as her tongue met mine in a dance of pure, unadulterated passion. My hands found their way to her body, one sliding up her back while the other cupped the heavy, round curve of her ass, squeezing it firmly through the fabric of her dress. She moaned into my mouth, a low, guttural sound of approval that sent a jolt of raw lust straight to my groin.

We broke apart, both of us breathless, our chests heaving. Her eyes were dark with desire, her lips slick and swollen from our kiss. “More,” she breathed, her command absolute. She stood and pulled me with her, leading me into her bedroom. It was a simple room, but it was dominated by a large, inviting bed. With a flick of her wrists, she unzipped her dress, letting it fall in a pool of dark fabric at her feet. She stood before me in nothing but a black lace bra and matching panties, and the sight was more incredible than my wildest fantasies.

Her body was magnificent. Her big tits strained against the delicate lace, impossibly full and round, crowned with dark, hard nipples that pebbled under my intense gaze. Her stomach was soft, her hips wide and inviting, leading down to the dark triangle of lace that barely contained the secrets between her thighs. Her ass, now fully revealed, was a perfect, powerful sphere on each side, a masterpiece of feminine curvature. She was a goddess carved from experience and desire.

I moved towards her, my hands shaking slightly, and placed them on her hips. Her skin was warm and smooth. I knelt before her, my eyes level with the apex of her thighs. “You are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, Shakuyaku,” I whispered, my voice thick with reverence.

A throaty chuckle escaped her lips. “Flattery will get you everywhere tonight, dear.”

My hands slid around to her back, pulling her closer as I buried my face in her soft belly, inhaling her scent. I kissed a trail down to the edge of her panties, my tongue flicking out to taste her skin. She shivered, her fingers tangling in my hair. With deliberate slowness, I hooked my thumbs into the waistband of her panties and peeled them down her legs. She was completely bare before me now, and the sight made me groan with need. Her pussy was exquisite, a perfect, neat mound of dark curls giving way to soft, plump lips that were already slick with her arousal. The musky, intoxicating scent of her desire filled my senses, and I knew I wouldn’t be able to wait another second.

I leaned in, and my tongue swept across her clit. She gasped, a sharp, sudden intake of breath, and her hips jerked forward. Her fingers tightened in my hair, gripping me as if she were afraid of falling. I parted her lips with my tongue, delving into her heat, tasting the sweet, tangy nectar of her pussy. It was the most delicious thing I had ever experienced. I lapped at her greedily, my tongue circling, flicking, and diving deep inside her. I wanted to know every fold, every ridge, every secret part of her.

Shakky’s cool composure shattered completely. She was all instinct and sensation now, her head thrown back, a stream of breathless moans and curses leaving her lips. “Oh god… yes… right there… don’t stop,” she panted, her hips starting to move in a rhythm that matched the frantic movements of my tongue. I could feel the building pressure within her, the way her muscles clenched and her wetness flowed freely. The cunnilingus was an act of worship, and I was her most devout follower. I licked and sucked at her clit until she was screaming my name, her body convulsing in a powerful, shuddering orgasm that sent waves of pleasure through both of us. Her juices coated my tongue, a trophy of my devotion.

She sagged against me, her legs trembling, as I held her steady. After a moment, she regained her strength, a wicked, satisfied smile on her face. “Well,” she said, her voice husky. “You certainly are full of surprises.” She pushed me gently back onto the bed, a predatory glint in her eyes. “My turn.”

I lay back, my own arousal a painful, throbbing ache in my pants. She straddled my chest, her incredible big ass settling on my stomach, and the weight of her was a heady sensation. She unbuttoned my shirt and unbuckled my pants with an efficiency that spoke of long practice. When my hardened cock sprang free, her eyes widened slightly in appreciation.

“Very impressive,” she purred, leaning down so her breasts were right in my face. The sheer size of them was staggering. They were heavy, soft globes of flesh, the areolas dark and wide, the nipples still hard as pebbles. She unclasped her bra, and her big tits spilled free, swaying with a life of their own. They were even more magnificent than I had imagined.

“I have a gift for you,” she whispered, her hot breath tickling my ear. She took my rigid cock in her hand, stroking it slowly, before guiding the head to the deep valley between her breasts. Then she squeezed them together, engulfing me in a pillowy, warm embrace. The sensation was indescribable. The friction of her soft, warm skin, the weight of her breasts pressing down on me… it was pure, unadulterated bliss. The paizuri was more intimate than I ever could have dreamed.

She began to move her upper body, sliding her cleavage up and down my shaft, creating an incredible friction that sent lightning bolts of pleasure through me. I reached up, my hands cupping her heavy tits, squeezing them, feeling their impossible softness as she fucked me with them. I watched, mesmerized, as my cock disappeared and reappeared from between the magnificent mounds of her flesh. Her head was thrown back, her eyes closed in concentration and pleasure, a soft moan escaping her lips with every thrust. “You like that, don’t you?” she murmured, her voice thick with lust. “Feeling my tits wrapped around you… so tight… so warm…”

Her words, combined with the mind-blowing sensation, pushed me over the edge. I couldn’t hold back any longer. With a guttural roar, I erupted, my release spilling out all over her chest, coating her beautiful breasts in a thick, hot wave. She didn’t stop moving until the last tremor had subsided, milking every last drop from me. She looked down at the mess I’d made on her, a triumphant, feral grin on her face. She dipped a finger into it, brought it to her lips, and licked it clean, her eyes never leaving mine.

She collapsed onto me, her body warm and pliant, her head resting on my chest. We lay there for a long time, listening to the sound of each other’s breathing, our bodies slick with sweat and satisfaction. The tension that had simmered between us for years had finally broken, replaced by a deep, profound intimacy. She eventually rolled off me, lying by my side, and lit two cigarettes, passing one to me.

“So,” she said, blowing a perfect smoke ring towards the ceiling. “Was it worth the wait?”

I turned to look at her, at the beautiful, powerful, incredible woman lying next to me. I reached out and tucked a stray strand of her black hair behind her ear. “Shakky,” I said, my voice filled with a sincerity that surprised even me. “It was worth a lifetime of waiting.”

She smiled, a soft, genuine smile that reached her eyes. She leaned over and gave me a slow, lingering kiss, a kiss not of fiery passion, but of sweet, shared satisfaction. As the first light of dawn began to creep through the windows of the Sabaody Archipelago, I knew that this single night, in the arms of the one and only Shakuyaku, had changed the course of my sea-worn life forever.
