Chapter 61: Stussy's Decision
Zeus got back to Abyss Island and landed in front of the palace.
He walked inside and came to the throne room. Riku was sitting inside and said "Zeus! What happened?" Zeus smiled and said "I have a surprise for you." Riku was dubious and Zeus waved "Come with me." Riku got up and followed Zeus out of the palace.
Zeus walked outside and came to behind the Palace and said "How do you like it here?" Riku smiled and said "It's amazing! Much better than Dress Rosa, the citizens are much happier here." Zeus smiled and nodded "Naturally! It's much more beautiful than Dress Rosa after the second constructions happened."
Zeus leaned in and wrapped his arm around Riku's shoulder as he said "I made a big park for the children..." he whispered "Also, my brother might live here when he's done exploring.. If you get what I'm trying to say."
Riku smiled slyly and said "He is, is he?" Zeus gave his own sly smile and said "Heheh Yes sir." Riku and Zeus chuckled evilly and Riku said "You're not too bad yourself. Wanna become a son in law?" Zeus choked on his laughter and said with a wry smile "Riku are you trying to kill me?"
Riku burst out laughing and said "What's the surprise." Zeus grinned and whistled, a giant cloud came down and hovered above the ground. Riku saw the Poneglyph and his eyes widened as he said "Road Poneglyph?!"
Zeus chuckled and nodded saying "Want to be the only King to keep a road Poneglyph safe?" Riku swallowed his saliva and looked at Zeus saying "Where did you get this?!" Zeus looked at the Poneglyph and sneered "That fat old bitch has a big surprise when she gets back to Tottoland."
Riku trembled before laughing "You're insane! Hahahahaha" Zeus grinned and said "How about it Riku? Maybe you'll even be in possession of 2 of them!" Riku gave Zeus a hard look and calmed his laugher before saying solemnly "You want to entrust this to me?"
Zeus got serious and said "I trust you'll keep it safe." Riku looked at the Poneglyph and said seriously "I accept." he turned to Zeus and bowed "I will protect it with my life." Zeus waved and lifted Riku up saying "Nonsense. It's just a rock, your life is much more important that a rock."
Riku almost teared up and Zeus added with a grin "Plus, you won't be here alone. I will help you protect it as well." Zeus burst out laughing and said "Perhaps when we're both bones in the ground people will eventually find them! Bwahahahahaah" Bonney and Persephone pecked and clawed at his neck.
Riku blinked before laughing "That's true! Hhahahaha" Zeus and Riku laughed for a bit before Riku said "I made a secret royal chamber under the palace but..." he looked at the Poneglyph and smiled wryly "I don't think it'll fit through the doors..."
Zeus laughed and said "We'll just make it bigger!" he pulled out a snail and said "Isaac! Pause construction for now, I need you to do something more important. Come to the Palace."
Within minutes Isaac appeared in front of them.
Zeus explained what he wanted and Isaac said that it wasn't a problem but he'd need help. Zeus directly transformed into a giant dragon and smirked "Is this enough?" Isaac swallowed and said "Enough! Enough!" Zeus laughed and the ground trembled.
They immediately got to work, Zeus dug out a massive space in the mountain and the builders started working, making walls, etc.
A week later
The secret royal chamber was completed and in the middle of the room was the giant red Poneglyph. The room was truly gigantic, there was enough room for 10 Poneglyphs and there were only 2 inside. One was the Road Poneglyph and the other was Dress Rosa's History Poneglyph. In the chamber there were other secrets of the Dress Rosa royal family.
Zeus was satisfied. They had even made a mechanism on the side of the mountain that would open a massive door, if there was ever another Poneglyph to be put inside.
The workers went back to working on the final construction of the Island and Zeus was standing in the lab in front of Caesar and Ratchet.
Zeus held out the vial from Big Mom's chest and said "I heard from a reliable source that this was a devil fruit extraction serum." Caesar trembled and held the vial as if it was a baby, he almost wanted to kiss it.
Zeus said to Reiju "Get Lucci to bring in prisoner 24." Reiju nodded and make a call. Soon enough, Lucci brought a man tied up in Seastone cuffs. It was Pica!
After Zeus found the vials and what they were he searched for Pica, when he found him he simply knocked him out, chained him up and threw him in a cell. Pica's devil fruit was extremely good, but this clown used it poorly. Anyway, it didn't matter any more because if it worked, it would be Zeus'.
Zeus pulled the other vial out of the cloud and grabbed a syringe before filling it up with all the green liquid. Zeus looked at Caesar and said "These two are the last ones left. I assume you don't mind using one as a test?"
Caesar shook his head and said excitedly "Use it! I want to see the process!" Zeus grinned and stabbed the needle into Pica's heart before pushing the plunger down.
Pica trembled and Zeus took the needle out. Pica's chest bubbled up and a spiral design appeared before a stem grew and the fruit formed from Pica's flesh. The fruit popped off Pica's body and fell into Zeus' hands.
It was a grey pear with swirls on it.
Zeus was amazed and looked at the fruit in his hands. He looked at Lucci and said "Get a trusted executive without a fruit to come here. Preferably someone that was here since the beginning." Lucci rubbed his chin and disappeared.
Caesar looked at Pica and said "Is he dead?" Zeus put his fingers to Pica's next and felt a pulse before he said "He's not!" Caesar was startled and looked at the fruit saying "Is it a real fruit?!" Zeus swallowed and said "It feels like it..."
A few minutes later
Lucci returned with Trent!
Zeus was startled and said "You haven't had a fruit for 2 years?!" Trent scratched the back of his head and said "None of them really interest me.." Zeus shook his head with a smile and said "This fruit will allow you to absorb, manipulate, and merge with stone. Do you want it?"
Trent said "Stone?" Zeus nodded and said "You'll become a stone assimilation man..." he paused and added "Though I hope you won't change the terrain of Abyss Island... Everything can get fucked up."
Trent chuckled and said "I'll take it." Zeus didn't give it to him but said "I have to warn you. I don't know what this will do because I just took it out of this guy's body. So it's a gamble." Trent looked at Zeus and smiled "I said I would follow you in Impel Down. If you give me something I will take it."
Zeus was startled but smiled softly and threw him the fruit while chuckling "If you die, I'll compensate that little Vixen you're hiding." Trent blushed and took a bite out of the fruit.
Caesar, Ratchet, Reiju, Zeus, and Lucci were watching curiously, they wanted to see if it really worked as well!
Trent choked and said "It really tastes awful.." Zeus chuckled and said "I've eaten 3, you get used to it." everyone looked at Zeus in confusion and Zeus waved and said "Goro-Goro, Ryu-Ryu, and the Merge-Merge fruit." Caesar's eyes widened as he said "That madman's fruit actually worked?!"
Zeus grinned and nodded before turning back to Trent.
Trent felt different and his body sank and merged into the floor. Zeus smiled and said "It works!" Caesar was extremely excited, and looked at the vial in his hands. Zeus waved and said "Bring Pica to be turned into a toy. Trent go help at the construction site and Caesar get to work on re-engineering it. If you succeed we'll only release 1 vial every year for 10 Billion Beli."
Caesar left immediately, Ratchet followed him, and Lucci left with Pica.
Trent gave Zeus a funny smile and Zeus chuckled and said "Come on. You thought you'd get a free fruit without a bit of work?" Trent laughed and shook his head before sinking into the floor and disappearing.
Zeus turned to Reiju and scratched her nose as he said "Watch Caesar for me, yeah?" Reiju rolled her eyes and said "Yes boss." Zeus chuckled and Reiju giggled before walking away. Zeus smiled and disappeared.
A while later
Zeus was sitting in the conference room and notified everyone that he was leaving but in a while they would have another raid. They confirmed and the meeting ended. Zeus said "Shiruton, stay for a minute." the rest left and only Shiruton was left.
She smiled sweetly and said "You've been telling me to stay a lot lately boss. Are you.." she held her cheeks and said "Falling for me?!" Zeus turned green and choked on his saliva, what he heard next almost made him spit out blood "Boss, I already have someone in my heart.. I.. I can't. I'm sorry."
Zeus held his forehead and said "I say, Shiruton. I have enough problems, should I throw another woman into the mix?" Shiruton giggled and spat out her tongue, Zeus waved and said "Anyway, I want you to keep an eye out in the lab where Caesar is. Also.." he paused and said "I'm going to Wano."
Shiruton trembled and said "You.. You.." Zeus nodded and said "That's right. The place where Kid and Killer disappeared." Shiruton teared up and said "Boss! Please save them! My contacts in Wano don't know where they went but they said they saw them! I'll do anything!"
Zeus flicked her forehead and said "Relax silly girl. I don't want anything from you. I will go save them don't worry about that, but if they'll come to Abyss Island.. I can't say for sure." Shiruton nodded and said seriously "As long as they're safe! I will find them eventually, no matter where they go!"
Zeus patted her head and snickered "I think you should be worrying about which one to pick first, girl." Shiruton blushed and mumbled "Shut up, big bully." Zeus choked again and squeezed her cheeks saying "Eh? What did you call me?!" Shiruton stuck out her tongue and said "Bully! Pervert! Bastard! I'm working for pennies!"
Zeus burst out laughing and said "You want to work for free?!" Shiruton giggled and ran away. Zeus watched her go and smiled "Cute girl." getting a peck and a scratch in return. Zeus chuckled and rubbed both of their heads as he walked out of the building and flashed into the city.
He reappeared in front of Stussy, who was sitting on the edge of the fountain reading a book peacefully. She looked up and saw Zeus, she smiled and said "Hey."
Zeus smiled and said "Have you decided?" Stussy was silent before taking a deep breath and nodding "I want to stay." Zeus almost leapt in the air with joy but had a calm smile on his face as he said "How do I know you're not tricking me."
Stussy made a funny look and said "You can ask the people you told to watch over me. I haven't even tried to leave." Zeus sighed and said "So noticeable? They're supposed to be spies..." Actually Stussy just guessed, she didn't notice anyone but she smiled and let the misunderstanding continue.
Zeus waved and said "Anyway, what did you figure out you want to do?" Stussy hesitated and said "A designer." Zeus was startled and repeated "A designer?!" Stussy looked embarrassed but Zeus started laughing and said "Perfect! Hahha!"
He whistled and a cloud flew down.
Zeus pulled out a giant book and an even bigger stack of papers. These were all clothing designs of his previous world. He wanted to advance the fashion on Abyss Island, there were thousands of different designs and looks, from modern to ancient and everything in between. Zeus used his memory of it all and thought the citizens would like it.
Zeus gave them all to Stussy and said "Do it. This is everything I have." Stussy was stunned and gave Zeus a funny look saying "You already had these?" Zeus paused and blushed before coughing and saying "Not for me. It was a friend.." Stussy hummed and rolled her eyes before she looked at the designs, her eyes lit up looking at them all.
She never seen some of them before, she was sure they would be popular! She felt like she opened up a whole new world, there were designs for women, men, children, old people, everything! She looked at Zeus incredulously, finding herself more curious about him by the day.
Zeus smiled and said "I can give you one of the shops in the wealthier area and you can even tell Isaac to make an underground room if you want to make them yourself. But I only have one request, you must work with Tesoro and make my red-light district better!"
Stussy didn't even hesitate and said "Done." Zeus grinned and took out a book and a snail before giving it to her and saying "Call Tesoro and meet up with him when you're done settling your affairs. Welcome to Tartarus as well as Abyss Island." he had a big grin on his face and he hugged Stussy abruptly.
Stussy blushed and Zeus released her as he laughed and whistled a happy tune as he walked away. Stussy was in a daze staring at his back and touched her shoulders with a small smile. Zeus didn't even realize what his actions would do, he was just too happy at the moment. Those clothes would definitely be a hit and the whole Island would become more lively as a result!
It was a 2 for 1 because Stussy would fix up the Red-light district as well as introduce new fashion trends. Abyss Island would only raise in popularity, there would be absolutely zero drops in citizen interests. Zeus was excited for the future.
He stepped into an alley and said "Silly girl." Shiruton appeared in front of him and Zeus said seriously "Do you want to come with me to Wano?" Shiruton rubbed her hands together and said "I do but what about Void?"
Zeus said "Tell Monet to take charge of Void for now and come with me, I have a plan and it will be 100 time easier with you. Also, tell Stella to keep in touch with Stussy and spread the word that she has joined as the Red-Light District Queen. I want you to have some people secretly watching over her, do not get found out. This is extremely important, she has joined Tartarus but I can't help but be a little worried."
Shiruton nodded and Zeus waved "Go pack your things and get ready to leave immediately after you settle your affairs. We need to leave as soon as possible." Shiruton saluted and turned into a stack of cards before disappearing.
Zeus picked up the cards and said "So flashy!" Bonney and Persephone rolled their eyes and said "And you're not?" Zeus chuckled and said "It's different. I'm naturally flashy because I'm so handsome." Bonney and Persephone almost collapsed and Zeus laughed before disappearing.
A while later
Zeus was standing in front of the conference room building, overlooking the city. He had half a mind to put a bench on the edge so he could have a seat and just sit down all day. It really was relaxing to just overlook the city.
Zeus flashed and reappeared with a rocking chair in his hands. He placed it near the edge and sat down before lighting a cigarette and rocking back and forth, it was a little unstable and Zeus frowned. He stood up moved the chair aside and shot his lightning at the ground, smoothing out the ground and charring it, creating a smooth and solid patch of rocks.
Zeus put the rocking chair back and started rocking again, feeling it much better he smiled and sighed in enjoyment as he rocked back and forth while smoking.
To be honest, his white hair and the fact that he was sitting in a rocking chair would make anyone who saw him think it was just a normal old man. Despite the fact that adding up both of Zeus' lives together he was just a little over 30.
Shiruton appeared and saw Zeus sitting in a rocking chair. She felt her eye twitch and she walked over saying "Grandpa, have you seen my boss? He's an idiot with white hair." Zeus looked over and said "What's your problem, silly girl? I can't relax in peace?"
Shiruton giggled and said "Not when you look like an old man!" Zeus rolled his eyes and said "Touche. Let's go, you ready?" Shiruton nodded and showed her back pack. Zeus chuckled and wrapped his arm around her waist before flying into the sky, leaving the rocking chair still rocking.
A person passed by and thought there was a ghost, he ran away screaming. It caused a big commotion until Crocodile cleared it out saying it was the boss, who just left. The ghost had been busted and everyone went back to work.
Zeus was flying and threw Shiruton into the air before full transforming and catching her on his head before shooting above the clouds and speeding towards Wano at full speed.
