Chapter 41 - re

Trouble with the sea emperor Big mom

While everyone is discusting about different matters in the palace, the Minister of the Left was informed that two of Big Mom's messengers, Sir Pekoms and Baron Tamago, have arrived to check on the status of the Candy Factory.

Unfortunately, the factory was destroyed by the New Fish-Man Pirates, and they had given the undamaged sweets to the Straw Hats. Upon hearing this, the Minister of the Right got worried that Big Mom, will not here about any excuses. She was infamous for destroying Island for not getting her desired food. She might destroy the entire fishman Island in the name of sweets.

So he immediately left to receive the Messengers.

'Sir Pekoms', was a suited walking lion and 'Baron Tamago', was a long leg tribesman who was also wearing a suit.

The ministers of the left, was trying to give an explanation of the civil war in hopes of reasoning with Pekoms.

"Sir Pekoms, please I am begging you. We have been suffering from a civil war. The Rebels have destroyed the candy factory and has stolen all of the candies. We don't have the required amount of candies to deliver. Please give us at least a week. We will deliver all the required amount by then." The minister pleaded to Pekoms.

"Minister, you know it very well what will Mama do if you do not deliver the sweets in time. And you know it well that even we can't do anything. It is simply beyond our power. Mama doesn't care about your internal affairs. It is completely your problem. What Mama wants is candy.

While this futile negotiation was going on, Zoro, Luffy and Sanji arrived on the scene.

After there discussion came to an end, Nami went to the treasury to pick up there treasure. She practically took everything from the royal treasury. And because the king Neptune himself has permitted it, no one objected. After taking the treasure, Nami tasked Luffy, Zoro and Sanji to take the treasure to their ship. Although , Robin wanted to help them she didn't knowing what will happen in the future if she got involved with Luffy's trouble with big mom and gave away the treasure. After that over, except from the monster trio, the rest of the straw have remained in the palace while enjoying different things.

"Hey ! Minister guy ! What's going on here ?" Luffy called out to the minister on left.

"Luffy sama.... it is nothing. It is just a small trouble for the fishman island with big mom pirates." Minister in the left tried to shoo them away by assuring them that everything is fine.

But then Pekoms spoke up.

"This little trouble you are talking about can potentially destroy your entire Island. Do you even realize that ?" He said fraustrated.

"Hey ! Cat guy ! What are you talking about ?" Luffy became alert after listening to Pekoms.

"A protection deal has been made between the fishman island and big mom pirates of totto land. According to the deal in exchange for be protection of the big mom pirates, the fishman island will provide ten tons of candy per month to the totto land." Pekoms explain the term to Luffy.

"I can give the island the time until tomorrow morning to come up with the candy. But I can't manage any delay then that. I know that you understand the consequences minister. So I don't have to tell you." Tamango threatened the minister.

"The equipments are damaged, and it will take at least a week to fix. It is impossible to produce candles by tomorrow. At least give us half a week. I beg you..." the minister pleaded again.

"Hey, What will happen if Big Mom does not get her candy ?" Sanji and Zoro asked the minister.

"She will send her "beasts" in to raze the island." Instead of the minister, Tamango answered.

Luffy grew angry upon hearing this, especially since they just saved the island.

At that exact moment, the Den Den Mushi suddenly started to ring much to Pekoms and Tamago's fear.

But before they could answer, Luffy swiped it away from them and picked up the call.

"Hey ! is this big mom speaking ?"

"Who are you ? Where are Pekoms and Tamango ?"

"I am Monkey D Luffy. I am gonna be the king of the pirates !

And I am the one who ate all of your candies ! Sorry but I didn't know that they were yours. But they are in my stomach now." Luffy stated casually much to the anger of Big mom.

Everyone were shocked including Big Mom's subordinates and the Fish-Man Island's citizens.

"In exchange for sweets, how about you take away all our treasures ?" Luffy spoke again. Realizing he is serious, Tamago took over.

"Mama we should take the offer. Two of our ships were destroyed by Captain Kid and we need the money. We can bring back all the sweets in a week !" He pleaded big mom.

"Are you negotiating for the straw hat Tamango ?" Big mom asked dangerously.

"No mama I won't dare !" Tamango declined immediately.

"Then give him back the den den mushi..." As soon as he heard big mom's command he immediately passed the den den mushi to Luffy.

"Straw hat Luffy, is it ? The super rookie who destroyed Enis lobby and took part in the war of the best along side white beard ?

If you were trying to sacrifice yourself in order to save the fishman island then good news for you I have decided to spare Fish-Man Island. But mark my words I never forgive those who eat my sweets. If you have balls , then come to the new world straw hat. I will show you the meaning of an emperor !" Big mom declared.

"Don't worry I am coming to the new world. It's too dangerous to leave you in charge of Fish-Man Island. I will defeat you and take Fish-Man Island as my own territory." Luffy declared and cut the call off.

To the New World

"The Sun Pirates are doing fine under Big Mom, your majesty." Jinbe assured Neptune.

"You don't need to be formal with me, Jinbe. I know you and your crew was only doing so out of concern for Fish-Man Island after Whitebeard's death jamon." Neptune told Jinbe.

"However, I am thinking about cutting ties with Big Mom and joining up with Luffy. But I am worried about how Big Mom will react." Jinbe accepted infront of Neptune.

"I understand jamon. Maybe if we lose Big Mom's flag we can always use the Skull and Crossbones wearing a Straw Hat jamon." Neptune laughed heartily and jinbe followed him.

But while Neptune was conversing with Jinbe,

the Minister of the Right came to him with a worried face.

"Your majesty I have something important to report to you ! the Tamatebako ! We have to take it back from the Straw Hats ! They have taken it along with all the treasure inside our treasury.

I had rigged it with a bomb after Hody had managed to open it 10 years ago !" The minister explained frantically.

"Alright don't panic. Go explain it to them. I believe they have already taken all the treasures back to their ship. Once they come back you can take back that box from them." Neptune ordered calmly.

At that instant Luffy, Zoro and Sanji made it back.

"Hey, did you already put all the treasure into our ship ?" Nami asked surprised. Because the ship was in the official port, which was quite some distance away from the palace. So she didn't expect them to come back so fast.

"No we didn't go back to the ship." Luffy said seriously.

"What do you mean you didn't go back to our ship ? Then where are the treasures ?" Nami asked worriedly.

Then Luffy went on explaining what happened with him and the big mom pirates.

*...smash...bonk...smash...smash...bonk...smash....smash...bonk...smash*

"How can you ! You asshole ! I will shove your dicks into your asses ! You lost all those treasures ! "

Robin was restraining a demonic looking Nami, who could even one shot Imu in this form.

"Nami please don't ignore that....if Big Mom finds the Tamatebako and opens it, then it will seem like a declaration of war from Luffy and us. She is an emperor of the sea ! We will be screwed ! And you are worried about some money !" Ussop was crying while complaining to Nami.

"That old hag can go to hell ! Emperor my ass ! They lost my treasures !"

Jinbe and Neptune watched from the side lines while sweat dropped from there forehead by looking at Nami who could certainly rival a yonko at this state.

Robin could only hold back Nami with her giant arms from killing their captain.

As that was going on with the straw hats, on the surface near the Red Line, the pirates that were leaving Fish-Man Island came across a Marine blockade. One of the pirate ships fired a conon ball on a random Marine ship. But the cannonball well swiftly deflected by Tashigi. She has become the new Captain in the G-5 base. After deflecting the cannonball she scolded her subordinates for their goofiness. Meanwhile, Smoker, now a Vice Admiral, interrogated some captured pirates who explained they were held captive by Hody Jones in Fish-Man Island. They tried to keep it secret that it was Luffy who defeated him out of debt for saving them, but one of the pirates let it slip. However, Smoker could already tell who it was just based on their story alone.

Some time after the banquet, the Straw Hats prepared to leave.

At the dock, the Ryugu Family, the ministers, Hatchan and most of the Fish-Man Island residents have come to see the Straw Hats off. Shirahoshi was sad to see them leave.

"Hey I thought that you are not a cry baby. But you are crying again !" Luffy chided Shirahoshi for crying.

The Minster of the Right is still worried about the Tamatebako that was in the treasure Luffy gave to Big Mom.

"Don't worry about it jamon. The bomb inside it might be a dud after years of resting in. We should forget on giving them a farewell. Meanwhile, the Minister of the Left gives Nami a new Log Pose which has three needles on it.

"Alright, this is the thing that will help you navigating the new world. Your original Log Pose relied on an island's magnetic force to guide you to an island. But in the New World, the magnetic force is constantly changing so it makes a normal log pose useless. Thid new Log Pose however, will point to these different magnetic forces meaning that from here on out you will have to choose your own route.

And there is one more thing you should remember. The more a needle shakes the more dangerous the island will be."

Nami began freaking out upon hearing it. But Luffy becomes excited about the prospect of unknown danger and coiled his neck around Nami's body like a snake.

"Shishishi ! I think we should go to the island to which the most unstable needle is pointed to. There passed be the party going on !"

Nami, Chopper and Usopp wailed in horror.

"Captain ! You should listen to What our navigator !" Ussop begged Luffy.

Franky soon called the crew, that he has gotten the ship ready to head up. And the island's residents which include Hatchan, Camie, Pappag, the Mermaid Cafe, and the Princess, said their goodbyes. Luffy called out to Jinbe who only nods in recognition as a reminder of his promise. As the crew sail off, they are caught up by Shirahoshi.

"Luffy sama ! if we meet again, then I will not cry anymore. Then can you take me outside the ocean ?"

"Alright, I will do it !" Luffy agreed to this affirming with a pinky promise, the rest of the crew joined in too as they take it as their responsibility as well.

With that, the crew set sail and finally left the Fish-Man Island.

Reaching the New World

As we left from the Fish-Man Island, we got some free time for ourselves.

"Robin, do you have the devil fruit ?" Nami asked me.

"Yes, here it is." I took out the devil fruit from my cleavage and handed it over to Nami.

"Hey what is this ? Is this a snack ?" Luffy out of nowhere appeared in front of us. He was about to snatch away the devil fruit , when Nami bonked him on his head.

"It is a devil fruit you idiot ! You have already eaten one. If you don't want to explode your ass of then don't you dare eat it ! And besides, this million berries baby is mine !" Nami took the devil fruit from my hands.

"We need to find someone who can sell this devil fruit for us in high price, when we go to the new world." Nami said to us.

"Nami swaaan ! Robin chwaaan ! Here is your drink ! And you shitty captain, go get your drink in the kitchen !" Sanji gave us orange juices.

"By the way, which devil fruit is it ?" Chopper asked.

"It's the swamp swamp logia type devil fruit." I answered.

"Well, then I think it should give us at least a hundred millions. Right ?" Ussop asked.

"Actually from what I know, this should go for more than a hundred million. Even paramicia devil fruits with very low combat capabilities will sell in atleast twenty millions.

When it comes to zoans, the price usually increases to forty to fifty millions again depending upon the combat capabilities of the animal they are based on.

Ancient zoans, even with lowest combat capabilities will easily give you a hundred millions.

Logias are next. I think considering the potential storage space given by this devil fruit it should at least go for 300 millions.

We can get even a higher price every can contact a devil fruit broker in the black market who will auction our devil fruit.

But dealing with black market is usually dangerous. So we have to trade carefully." I explained from my knowledge of devil fruits.

"So much money !" Brook exclaimed.

"Anyway we will worry about that when we reach the surface.

Robin, I am going to take a bath. Do you want to come ?" Nami asked me.

"Sure, why not ? It has been two days since I last took a bath."

"Me too, it is not my bath day, but my fur is also sticky." Chopper told Nami.

As the crew decided to engage in their own activity, we decides to spend our time having a bath.

Nami use her new Shower Tempo as a shower. with Chopper me and her bathing together.

"Wow ! Am I mistaking or your chest is bigger now ?" Nami asked me.

I don't know the exact reason but somehow my chest and butt has grown in last two years. It's 108 cm, just behind Zoro's 110 cm.

"I am not the only one who has grown." I answered back.

Looking at her breasts Nami blushed. Compared to my body, Nami's body was more hourglass shaped because of the difference in her chest and waist. So even though her chest size was only 98 cm, it looked much bigger.

I sighed when I sensed Sanji and brook trying to peep.

"What happened ?" Nami asked me. She has brought the devil fruit to the bath, fearing that Luffy might eat it despite telling him the danger.

"Nothing much, just Sanji and Brook trying to peep." I answered.

"*sigh* I don't even know what to do about those two.

Thunder tempo !" Nami sent some dark clouds packed inside small bubbles outside from her climatact."

Not a minute after that lightning struck outside the bathroom and a single cry was heard.

"It seems that Brook is unaffected by your attack.

But don't worry both of them are gone." I assured Nami.

"Haki sure is a good ability." Nami commented.

Having finished my bath, I wrapped myself in towel. "You can learn it too. And believe me it doesn't take much physical effort. All it takes to have a strong willpower. I'm sure that you don't lack in that." I commented.

"I will think about it. I am not sure.... " Nami also wrapped up herself.

"It will be good for your own safety. And the increase in your combat abilities will be obvious. I am not saying that you must learn it. But it would be better if you try to." I tried to convince Nami.

"Fine then can you teach me ?" Nami asked.

"Ofcourse."

While were taking a bath, the rest of the crew has decided to go fishing. Luffy knocked out one fish but it just got attacked by a bigger one, and that fish got attacked by an even bigger eel. Zoro killed it, but the weight of the fish brought the ship to a stop.

"What are you guys doing ?" Nami and me came out after dressing up when the ship suddenly came to an halt.

"I can't leave you guys for a second can I ?

Now release that fish you idiots ! Otherwise we can't go up anymore !" Nami shouted at Luffy, who was holding the fishing line tightly.

But before Luffy could deny, suddenly Nami noticed the change in the sea current.

"Fuck ! Luffy if you don't want to kill us all then release that ugly fish now !"

But it was already too late. An underwater maelstrom, called the White Strom, suddenly appeared in front of us. The eel gets sucked into it dragging the Thousand Sunny into it.

After a wild ride, the ship suddenly hit something, and the crew realized that it is a pod of Island Whales.

"Is that Laboon ?" Luffy mistook the whale Sunny hit for Laboon.

"Hey Laboon ! Please look at me ! Don't you remember me ? Laboon !"

Brook started crying.

"Hey Brook ! Calm down ! He is not Laboon. It is just a pod of island whales ! Laboon is still waiting for us in the twin cape !" Ussop tried to calm down Brook.

"Guys ! even though we are out of the white storm, this current, that's being created by this pod is really dangerous. Open the sails ! We need to raise the sails. We can ride it and reach the surface !" Nami realized the danger and alerted the crew.

Everyone quickly got into work and opened the sails. The thousand Sunny started to ride the sea current smoothly.

The entire crew was so engrossed in the song that they didn't realise let the pod of whales liked it and gave them a ride to the surface. After everyone told there goodbyes to the pod of whales, we reached the surface.

Despite the thunderous seas around us, the entire crew was excited for the new challenges that awaited us.
