Bab 64: Mad Demon of the Court
The next morning
Zeus woke up and walked outside the building. He stretched his body and lit a cigarette as he said "Sayatoro!" Sayatoro appeared next to him and Zeus said "Send 2 boxes of Sake to the noodle house. The rest will be stock for the courtesan house."
Sayatoro nodded and disappeared.
Zeus rubbed his chin and mumbled to himself before a firm light flashed in his eyes. Bonney and Persephone had a bad feeling, sitting on Zeus' shoulders. They were proven right when Zeus left for a sword smith.
Zeus knocked on the door and he heard a bunch of stumbling before a little old man with a scar over his right eye all the way down to his neck answered to door saying "I don't want what you're selling!"
Zeus felt his mouth twitch and he said snappily "Aiyo! Do I look like a travelling salesman, old man?" the old man narrowed his eyes and looked Zeus up and down before nodding heavily. Zeus almost spit out a mouthful of blood before he said "I was a sword made. If you DO want to buy something from me.. We can arrange it? Maybe a walker?"
Persephone covered her mouth and giggled and the old man said "What kind of sword?" Zeus shrugged and said "You're pretty old, so I'll take what I can get." The old man felt his eye twitch as he clicked his tongue and said "Damn youngsters nowadays! Doesn't respect the old and cherish the young mean anything anymore?!"
Zeus shook his head and said "The future is now, old man. It's cherish the old and respect the young now! Plus.." he pointed at himself and said "Can't you see how handsome I am old man?! I'm gracing you with my presence!" Bonney and Persephone choked.
The old man burst out laughing and sneered "You?! Back in my day, women were falling all over me! I was known as 'Lady Killer Koronosuke!'" Zeus was startled and butted his head with Koronosuke and sneered "You?! Time sure does fly, old man! You sure your body is still even working properly?!"
Koronosuke sneered and said "I'm as healthy as a horse! AND my handsome looks are still there, the ladies my age still fall in love with me!" Zeus seethed and snapped "You shitty old man! I can make a bag with all your sagging skin!"
Koronosuke snapped back "Shut up gigolo boy! How could you possibly understand my handsomeness!" Zeus and Koronosuke butted heads and argued.
"My ass! Have you seen my looks? Are you sure you don't have cataracts?!"
"You look like a dog that comes to bark for food!"
"You look like a clumped up paper bag! Your wrinkles have wrinkles!"
The surrounding people stopped and whispered amongst each other "I think that senile Koronosuke met his match today!" another man snorted "Nah, this youngster doesn't have what it takes." a woman sneered and said "You're just jealous! If you had half the looks of that young man you would fly!" the man pointed at the woman with a pale expression and said "YOU!"
Zeus and Koronosuke grit their teeth and glared at each other before Zeus said "Move aside old man. I came here to get a sword, not argue with a senile old man, who thinks he was even 10% as handsome as me!" he pushed Koronosuke aside and walked into the house.
Koronosuke shouted "Oi! This is MY house!" Zeus sneered from inside "What are you going to do about it? Laugh me to death?" Koronosuke grumbled and slammed the door shut before following Zeus.
Koronosuke hobbled over and Zeus sneered "Can even keep a place clean anymore, and you think you were more handsome than me?" Koronosuke said "I'm retired! Retired, understand?! The maid comes back tomorrow anyway. I pay her for a reason."
Zeus burst out laughing and said "You're pretty funny for an ugly old man!" Koronosuke snapped "HANDSOME OLD MAN, THANK YOU!" Zeus rolled his eyes and waved "Yeah, whatever you say. I'm convinced you've gone senile."
Koronosuke sat down and crossed his arms saying "If you half as good as me at my age, it'll be a blessing!" Zeus sat down and said "You're really going to laugh me to death? I came for a sword, not a stand up comedy act." Persephone couldn't hold it anymore and burst out laughing, Bonney and Koronosuke were confused.
Zeus said "Anyway, Old man. Can you make me a sword? Or are you all bark no bite." Koronosuke sneered and said "Other than my handsomeness, I was also known as 'God Swordsmith Koronosuke!'" Zeus sighed and said "What else were you known for old man? I'm convinced I came to an Alzheimers patient. Where's the sexy nurse that supposed to take care of you?"
Persephone laughed even harder and Koronosuke said "I sent her back a long time ago." Zeus was startled and was immediately enraged "What do you mean you sent her home?! Couldn't get it up?!" Koronosuke trembled and growled "You!" Zeus sighed and said "My sexy nurse!" immediately getting attacked on his neck from both sides.
Koronosuke coughed and said "She was like a wooden plank anyway, only a pretty face." Zeus rubbed his chin and sighed "A pity." Koronosuke closed his eyes and nodded in agreement, Bonney and Persephone couldn't keep up, they were like fire and water and now they were friends?
Zeus took out a rolled up piece of paper and said "Can you do this?" Koronosuke looked at the design and said "What is this garbage!?" Zeus shrugged and said "That's only what I want it to look like. If I knew how to make swords, why would I torture myself coming to you, a senile old man?"
Koronosuke blew fire from his mouth and torched the design saying "I can't even look at it anymore!" Zeus was spooked, fire breath? Was this guy a dragon? Zeus narrowed his eyes and said "You a dragon old man?" Koronosuke smirked and said "I was also known as 'Dragon King Koronosuke!'"
Zeus almost fainted and hybrid transformed saying "Dragon King, my ass!" Koronosuke hybrid transformed and became almost the exact same as Zeus but he only had 5 claws and his horns were made of fire. Zeus sneered and lightning crackled around his horns as he said "A fire worm? You want to fight old man? We can settle who's more handsome easily."
Koronosuke clicked his tongue and reverted as he said "If I was in my prime, you wouldn't even have the balls to talk to me that way brat!" Zeus chuckled and reverted as he said "Even if you were young again I would still teach you why the flowers are red, do you believe it?"
Koronosuke clicked his tongue and waved, he looked Zeus up and down before saying "White scales, red lightning?" Zeus nodded and Koronosuke waved "Scram your this daddy. You'll get your sword when I'm finished." Zeus was startled and said "Ora ora, I need this sword as soon as possible, Old man! How am I going to look co- Kill people without one?"
Koronosuke sneered "You think a work of art is easy to make?! Scram! Vanish! Disappear!" he blew out fire and Zeus blew lightning before saying "Alright, Old man! It better be good!" Koronosuke sneered and said "I also had another name! 'Always makes a work of art Koronosuke!'"
Zeus almost fell down and quickly left so as to not contract this old man's sickness. Koronosuke watched Zeus leave before an amused grin stretched out on his face and he said "A dragon eh? Interesting kid..." he got up and hybrid transformed before picking up a hammer and saying "It's been 40 years, old friend.."
Koronosuke had a distant look in his eyes as he muttered "Oden was that youngsters name wasn't it?" he sighed remembering Oden's fate and walked to the forge.
Zeus grumbled "Crazy old man!" as he walked back to the Immortal Fairy Court. He stood outside and saw the line of people gathering to eat at the noodle shop, some of them walked into the courtesan house while waiting, some went to the Bath house.
The Immortal Fair Court was thriving and people walked in and out constantly. Zeus grinned and walked into the Courtesan house, going up to his room. He opened the door and saw Robin standing inside, Zeus tilted his head and said "What's wrong."
Robin said "I can't just come and see you?" Zeus touched his face and sighed "This face.. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse." he shook his head, as if dealing with a heavy burden. Robin rolled her eyes and said "Shouldn't I be watching Kyoshiro?"
Zeus shook his head and said "Kyoshiro isn't Kyoshiro." Robin raised a brow and Zeus walked into the room while waving his hand and coating the room with lightning as he said "He's a retainer. Not a target, that's why I took you with me. I need you to get into Orochi's party."
Robin was startled and said "How did you-" Zeus cut her off with a mysterious smile and said "Want to join Void?" Robin giggled and said "I don't think Luffy would be too happy of you poaching me~"
Zeus sighed and said "He got you first, what can I do?" Robin giggled and Zeus smiled as he said "Most of the people who come here are part of Orochi's supporters. If you see any ankle tattoos of crescent moons, they are Oden supporters and allies." Robin nodded and Zeus waved, dispelling the lightning bubble as he said "Go. Do your thing, silly girl."
Robin pouted and said "I'm older than you!" Zeus smirked and said "Not anymore~" Robin rolled her eyes and left. Zeus chuckled and sat at his table before lightning a cigarette and taking out a book and writing inside of it.
After a while
Zeus looked at the book and sighed "Shiruton." Shoruton appeared and Zeus said "Progress?" Shiruton said "Everywhere in the capital, except the Palace. Also around 40% since last night, man power also increased by 30%." Zeus nodded and said "Get Sayatoro and O-Muma to pick 2 people each and give them devil fruits. These will be their direct subordinates and leaders of their own groups."
Shiruton nodded and said "Any fruits?" Zeus rubbed his chin and said "Preferably Zoans but others are good too. Just no Logias." Shiruton nodded and disappeared. Zeus sighed and mumbled "Still another 3 weeks until Luffy gets here.." before he started writing in the book again.
Another week passed (2 weeks left)
Zeus was sitting inside his room and looked outside at the rain before saying "Shiruton." Shiruton appeared and Zeus handed her a book saying "Execute my orders to the T. Everything is written in the book. Persephone go with her please." Shiruton took the book and Persephone hopped to Shiruton's shoulders before they both disappeared.
Zeus stood up and stood at the front of the door to outside, he exhaled a mouthful of smoke and stared silently at the capital. He thought to himself and Bonney snuggled up to his neck and said "Whatcha thinking about, Hubby?" Zeus rubbed her head affectionately and said "My next move... The ninjas haven't moved yet.."
Zeus paused and narrowed his eyes as he said "10 assassination attempts but none of them were sent by Orochi. There's only two reasons, either Orochi doesn't know yet, or he just doesn't care."
Zeus frowned and continued "I doubt he doesn't know, with his network. So it can only mean that he either doesn't care or he thinks I can be easily suppressed when I get big enough. He's not smart enough for the second option and he thinks he's invincible because of Kaido, so I'm leaning towards the former."
Zeus took a drag and muttered "But even if he doesn't, his ninjas should.. I have been making bigger and bigger moves, why haven't they come yet.." Bonney hummed and put in her own opinion "Maybe they will only come when you control it all? If this Orochi guy is as you described, he won't do anything and just send the ninjas to handle everything."
Bonney mused and said "Since the ninjas have full control then they would have a plan themselves no?" Zeus paused and nodded before saying "That's true, but what are they planning?" he frowned and added "If they want to control me they need the strength first. I never revealed anything in public."
He narrowed his eyes and said "Underestimation costs a heavy price." Bonney smiled and said nothing, she knew Zeus had everything under control. She came solely for the purpose to be with him, she didn't want to be alone during her pregnancy.
Zeus flicked his cigarette out the window and vaporized it when he heard a laugh "Big brother Zunoshiro! Hahahah" Zeus smiled widely and the door opened as he said "Otoko!" Toko laughed and snapped "I'M NOT A BOY! AHAHAHAHA"
Zeus burst out laughing and Toko jumped into his arms saying "Wanna come to have Soba?! Hhahaa" Zeus grinned and said "Let's go." Bonney smiled lightly and landed on Toko's head as Zeus put Toko on his shoulders and walked out of the building.
Zeus hummed happily and Toko started singing along and laughing. Zeus made a lightning barrier over Toko's head so that she wouldn't get wet and they walked along the stone path into the noodle shop.
Toko said excitedly "Sooba~ Soba~ I love Soba~" Zeus smiled happily and said "Hey Sangoro, 3.. 6 bowls of Soba!" Sanji grunted and muttered "Right away, bastard.." before cooking.
A few minutes later
The 6 bowls of Soba were on the table and Bonney reverted to her human form before sitting down with Toko on her lap and eating her Soba. 4 bowls for herself actually, Zeus and Toko only had one bowl each. Bonney sighed and said "It's not as good as yours.." Sanji snapped his cooking tool in half and Zeus chuckled and said "It's alright, I heard the chef is new to cooking."
Sanji grinded his teeth before continuing to cook but angrier.
Bonney giggled and Zeus smiled as he ate.
A man saw Bonney and was enchanted, so he did as any sane person would do and walked over. However, he proved himself to be insane with his words "Hey beauty! Ditch this guy and come with me, how about it?"
The noodle shop went quiet. Sanji stopped cooking and looked over before sighing, Bonney froze and looked up with a straight face and said "My answer doesn't matter, because I don't date corpses."
The man was confused but quickly figured out what she meant when his face was grabbed and the scenery changed.
Zeus slammed the man's head on the ground, his eye were glowing with rage and he was in his hybrid form, lightning crackled around him and his arm was pitch black. Zeus snarled "What did you just say to my wife."
The man turned white and Zeus crushed his jaw bone before saying "You want to know what happens when you hit on my wife? Hold on, I'll show you." Zeus grabbed the man's arms and stepped on the man's chest. In front of the entire Immortal Fairy Court, Zeus ripped the man's arms right off his body.
Bonney covered Toko's eyes quickly and chided "In front of a child?!" Zeus paused and vaporized the arms before dragging the man by his legs and disappearing. The customers trembled and Denjiro, who was watching from the distance grinned as he muttered "Sure enough, his title isn't for nothing after all. Eheheheh"
A while later
Zeus reappeared and waved, the blood on the ground washed away and the street was clean. Zeus walked back to the table and continued to eat, still in a bad mood. Bonney sighed helplessly and Toko burst out laughing saying "That was scary! HAHAHAHA"
Zeus sighed and said "You're not afraid of me are you, Toko?" Bonney looked sad, Zeus was upset, she could tell that he really didn't want Toko to say yes. She looked at Toko and felt for some reason, depending on her answer her trip here will end up much different.
Toko laughed and said "Nope! You bought me Soba! Hhahahaha" Zeus let out a breath of relief and laughed saying "Good! Sake for everyone!" A woman appeared and poured Sake for everyone in the shop before putting the bottle back and disappearing. The customers smiled and rank their Sake, but this Sake was from the black market so it was extremely strong but also tasty!
Zeus laughed and drank from the gourd on his hip, taking big gulps and not even flinching. The other customers had a single glass and their complexions turned rosy and the noodle shop became lively with laughter, completely forgetting the brutal death of that man just now.
Sanji grinned and drank from his own Sake bottle as he cooked, he licked his lips and said "Strong!" Zeus grinned and said "The strongest in Wano! Bwahahahaha" Bonney slapped him and Zeus grinned "Thanks, my love~" Bonney smiled warmly and continued to eat her Soba.
Toko burst out laughing and said "hahahaha You said thanks after she slapped you! Hhahahaha"
Zeus chuckled and pinched her cheeks saying "Someone doesn't want their job anymore eh?" Toko paled and laughed "No please! HAHhhahhaha" Zeus burst out laughing as he said "You said please and laughed! Bwahahahaha" he slammed the table with his fist and laughed.
Bonney sighed and shook her head with a smile.
A few minutes later
Zoro walked into the noodle shop with his eye closed as he sniffed the air. Zeus and Sanji looked over before sneering and saying in unison "Where you been, mosshead?" Zeus and Sanji looked at each other before sneering and turning back to Zoro.
Zoro picked up a bottle and said "What is this?" Zeus said "Stronger than the one you had on Rooster's ship." Zoro's eye lit up as he said "I want it all!" Zeus sneered "You have enough money for it mosshead? I'm running a business here."
Zoro sneered "You want to start paying protection fees?" Zeus blinked before laughing and throwing him a big gourd from his cloud and saying "Scram out of here! Protection fees, my ass!" Zoro caught the gourd and grinned before turning around and waving over his shoulder as he left.
Zeus shouted "Oi! You took the bottle with you too! You didn't pay!" Zoro looked around and said "Could've sworn I heard something.. Must be a fly." Zeus grit his teeth and said "You!" Zoro laughed and disappeared, Zeus sighed and mumbled "Fucking mosshead..."
Sanji shook his head and said "At least he found his way here. You'd think he'd be on another island by now." Zeus chuckled and drank from his gourd as he said "Maybe he was, the smell of Sake brought him back."
Sanji laughed and continued cooking. Zeus waved and left with Bonney and Toko. Toko ran along to help Robin and Zeus returned to his room with Bonney.
Bonney said "Are you still angry?" Zeus snorted and said "Who does he think he is to hit on my woman?" Bonney snuggled into his chest as she sat on his lap and smiled "I love you." Zeus stroked her hair softly and said "I love you too baby."
Bonney looked up and kissed Zeus' lips gently, Zeus closed his eyes and pulled Bonney closer to him by her waist as he returned the kiss. Zeus fell back and slid his hands down her legs when there was a knock at the door.
Bonney giggled and made circles on his chest saying "Oopsie~" Zeus grinded his teeth and got up before opening the door saying "What?!" Koronosuke sneered and said "Busy?" Zeus almost kicked Koronosuke out of the building and snapped "I would be if you didn't come here today! You fucking old man! Even if you can't get it up, do you have to ruin it for other people too?!"
Koronosuke choked and snarled "I can get it up! You want proof!?" Zeus sneered and said "I like women, old man! Your sex problems are none of my business." Koronosuke rolled his eyes and pushed Zeus aside, before walking inside.
He looked at Bonney and said "What a beauty! No wonder!" Bonney was confused and said "No wonder what?" Koronosuke chuckled and said "People are calling your husband the 'Mad Demon of the Court'." he clicked his tongue and added "After what I saw, it's not a stretch!"
Koronosuke turned to Zeus and sneered "But I still think you let him off too easy. Look at your wife! I would've peeled his skin if he even looked at her! What kind of Yakuza boss are you?"
Zeus closed the door and waved, coating the room in lightning as he said "Speak, old man." Koronosuke sneered and said "You look to traditional! Even I can tell you know nothing about the Yakuza scene!"
Zeus got serious, it was time for a serious chat with the old man.
