Capítulo 66: Late Night Talks
Zeus was sleeping in his room at the table when the door slammed open. Zeus was startled and fell backwards, hearing giggling. Zeus looked and saw Robin and the rest holding back their laughter as they stood at the door.
Zeus stood up and grumbled "What happened?" Robin said "Meeting, let's go." Zeus scratched his head and said "Aren't we here already?" Franky slapped him and dragged him along saying "You must still be sleeping! We're meeting the rest!"
Zeus truthfully was still half asleep.. well he was. Until he got a fresh slap. Zeus jumped up and said "Oi! You tin can fuck! Did you just slap me?!" Franky grinned and said "I'll do it again too!" Zeus growled "You!" and tackled him, they got into a dust brawl.
The dust cleared and revealed 3 figures. Zeus, Franky, and Zoro. Zoro stood up and said "What the?!" before jumping out the window and running away.
Zeus dusted himself off and sneered "Gotcha!" Franky grinded his teeth and mocked "GoTcHa" Zeus chuckled and gave him a tight slap before laughing and saying "Shiruton! Leave O-Muma in charge and follow secretly. Bonney, Persephone hop on."
Shiruton turned into a stack of cards and fell to the ground, Bonney and Persephone jumped onto Zeus' shoulders. Zeus caught the deck of cards and clicked his tongue saying "You know, I can't tell which side is the front or the back so if I touch you somewhere, just don't freak out."
A mouth formed on the cards and said "Hmph, you'd like that wouldn't you! Pervert!" Zeus was stunned and rubbed all over the cards angrily. The rest rolled their eyes and said "Let's go!" Zeus followed theme while rubbing on the cards.
A while later
The group entered a house in a graveyard.
Zeus looked around and whispered "Tag it." the stack of cards disappeared secretly and tagged the area before reforming in Zeus' pocket.
Zeus saw Kin'emon and the rest, minus Luffy, Zoro, and Law. He waved and said "HEY!" They looked over and Nami said "Zeus!" Zeus grinned and said "Boy do I have news for you guys!" they were all confused and Luffy, Law, Zoro, and Kikunojo walked in.
Luffy tackled Zeus and said "HEY!" Zeus grinned and stretched Luffy's cheeks saying "What's up, less handsome brother!" Luffy grinned and said "Nothing! I just beat a fat sumo guy who wanted to marry Kiku!"
Zeus' made a funny face and said "Is the fat sumo guy gay?" Luffy shrugged and said "I don't know, I just kicked his ass!" the rest were startled and Chopper said "Gay?" Zeus said "Kiku is male." the crew were stunned and Kiku coughed angrily.
Zeus grinned and said "I know a guy who completely change you." Kiku was stunned now and Kin'emon coughed and said "Anyway! We're here to have a meeting!" everybody sat down and Zeus silently slipped a card into Luffy's hat as he lit a cigarette. He was a part time magician!
Kin'emon told everyone about Oden and how they went forward in time. Zeus tuned out, he already knew. He even knew about how Oden died. He really wanted to see it in person though, it was a shame he was born so late and the only old guy he had every really met was Rocks. It was a consolation because Rocks was special and Zeus figured out what happened in the void century, in much, much simpler terms.
Rocks wasn't a person who liked to talk about minute details, Zeus noticed.
As Kin'emon droned on, Zeus was thinking about something else. What was he going to do when Kaido attacked? He DID say that Luffy could take the first shot but he didn't know how much Kaido had changed, when he heard Kaido's name from Kin'emon, Kin'emon described him as a black dragon, not a blue one.
Zeus felt a headache coming on. What kind of variation was this now? Zeus still didn't know whether Kaido was a real dragon, or ate a dragon fruit. He had already seen Koronosuke, hybrid transform into a fire dragon.
Zeus didn't like variables. Last time it resulted in the direct death of a brother. He wasn't prepared to lose anyone else, and he would rather die himself than let anyone around him die. He already did one before, what's the harm in doing it twice?
Kin'emon ended his speech and the crew was silent before Zeus said "Ah you didn't tell them how Oden died, but I guess that doesn't matter.." Kin'emon was startled and said "What do you mean?" Zeus said "Boiled alive." the retainers trembled and Kin'emon said "How did you know?!"
Zeus grinned and said "I have eyes and ears everywhere in the capital. I heard a few things.." Zeus sighed and said "I can't tell my story now.." everyone was confused and Zeus exhaled a mouthful of smoke as he said "If you lose it's my turn."
A loud roar was heard
Kin'emon said "Kaido!" Luffy ran out of the building and disappeared. Zeus got up and grumbled "It was good news too, let's go see this 'dragon'." everyone was stunned and Zeus walked out of the building muttering "Stupid black dragon idiot, ruining my story time. When I get my hands on you..."
Everyone shook their heads and followed Zeus out to see a giant black dragon.
Zeus tilted his head and said "I think were about the same size in Dragon form." Bonney nodded and said "But he has bracelets." Zeus waved and said "Fuck him and his bracelets. What's he being so edgy for?" Robin sighed next to him and said "What's with you and Yonko?"
Zeus shrugged and said "We just don't get along. They're not very respectful, I don't like it." Robin felt her mouth twitch, as did the rest. They all had the same thought 'You're not very respectful either..'
Zeus, unaware of their thoughts, added "Plus, why are they always giants? So ugly! Dorry and Broggy were nice but these guys look so ugly, Big Mom was hideous and this guy never wears a shirt! Also what is he a Dragon who ate a human fruit, or a human who ate a dragon fruit? Why can't they just say it?"
Zeus sighed and continued "Sometimes I miss long winded bad guys. Croc told everyone his plans from start to finish. These guys didn't even bother to explain, too mysterious! It's annoying!"
Everyone had black lines on their foreheads as they listened.
Zeus continued his spiel "Also also, why is this guy drunk all the time? Who can't handle their liquor? I drink stronger liquor than him all the time and this guy get's drunk almost immediately! If I give him my liquor, will he die?"
Everyone's face was completely black now, how much longer was this going to go on for?
Zeus opened his mouth and Bonney and Persephone closed it forcefully saying "That's enough okay?" Zeus grumbled and kicked a rock, it flew through the air and hit Kaido right in the forehead.
Zeus chuckled and said "Ah! Oops!" Kaido turned to the mountain and boomed "Oden's castle? Annoying!" he opened his mouth and Zeus said "I think he's going to breath fire at us." Usopp nodded and said "Certainly looks that way." Robin said "Maybe we'll just be bones afterwards?"
Brook knocked his head and said "I'll definitely lose a layer of skin.. Oh wait! I'm already bones! Yohohohoh" Sanji nodded saying "Definitely over cooked." Zoro sighed and said "I'm not drunk enough for this." Franky shook his head and said "My fire breath can't counter that."
Chopper covered his nose and said "Is it true my blue nose makes me look fat?" Nami patted his head and said "Nah, you look pretty cute with it!" Chopper smiled and the rest nodded before Usopp jumped and screamed "We're gonna die! Everybody panic! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
The others paled and Zeus burst out laughing, the ground beneath them sank and a pillar of fire blasted the entire mountain, putting a huge hole in it.
A while later
The group popped out of the ground and Kaido, along with Luffy, was gone. Zeus patted the dust off himself and said "My cigarette went out!" Nami slapped him as Sanji said "Me too." Nami stretched out her other hand and slapped Sanji too.
Nami snapped "Aren't you worried about Luffy?!" Zeus tired to light his cigarette but it was unsalvageable, he threw it away and lit a new one before saying "He's going to Udon to get his spirit broken so he can work for Kaido. No bid deal, he'll be back."
The crew almost fell down, no big deal?! Nami double slapped him and said "That's your brother!" Zeus nodded and said "Yeah. He's alive. It's better for him to be there." they were confused and Zeus grinned "The prisoners sure don't like Kaido and Luffy has a bit of my charisma. What do you think the result will be?"
A look of realization appeared on the crew's faces and Nami said "Allies!" Zeus said "Cha ching! You've won a prize, young lady!" Zeus got serious and said "Luffy works from the inside of the prison and we work from the outside. Easy, simple, efficient. In reality, we can just create mass chaos in the capital, then break into the prison, free all the prisoners and storm Kaido's lair and throw everything at him until he dies."
The crew dead panned and Usopp chopped Zeus' head saying "So crude! What are you a barbarian!?" the rest gave him looks of disdain and Zeus sighed, looks like were sticking to cannon. Zeus punched his palm and said "I almost forgot! Where's the sexy ninja girl!?"
Sanji looked around and said "Sexy ninja girl!?" A big woman stepped out and said "Hey cutie! Looking for me?" Sanji coughed up blood and fainted, Chopper treated him and Shinobu scoffed "Can't handle a mature woman!"
Zeus felt his mouth twitch as he said "I'm not going to lie to you. You look like a dumpling." everyone almost fainted and Zeus added "I can't even look at you, my fingers start to feel itchy and I want to kill. So I'm gonna fix you up."
Zeus put Bonney on Shinobu's head and said "Take 20 years from her." Bonney did as she was told and Shinobu slimmed out, reverting to her sexy ninja appearance. Zeus took Bonney back and said "Thank god. You really don't know how close you were! We almost had a pile of Shinobu on the floor."
Shinobu went from angry to furiously enraged to berserk and now looking at her appearance she fell in love with herself and screamed excitedly "I'M BACK! WOOOOOOOO!" Sanji woke up and saw Shinobu again and said "Where did that ninja go?" Zeus said "The one jumping for joy is her."
Sanji chuckled and said "Yeah right!" only to get a fist right in his face by Shinobu, who blew on his fist afterwards and smirked "Sexy ninja is back baby!" she looked at Zeus and winked "I'll sneak into your room tonight if you want~"
Zeus almost had a heart attack and felt two very dangerous vibes coming from his shoulders a she said "Big sister sexy ninja please spare me! I have a wife and she's pregnant, are you trying to kill me?!"
Robin and Nami flared up and snapped "You brought a pregnant woman with you here?! Are you a fucking idiot?!" Zeus paled and realized he misspoke and said "Did I say pregnant? I meant really strict! Yeah, that's it!" apparently his excuse wasn't good enough and he got pummeled from Nami and Robin.
Bonney and Persephone hopped off him and reverted to their human forms. Robin and Nami said "Which one of you is it?" Zeus turned white and coughed up blood. Aiyo, he was definitely sleeping outside tonight. With that thought he foamed at the mouth and fainted.
Chopper dragged Zeus next to Sanji and started to treat him too. The guys gathered around Zeus and Sanji and silently prayed for them, Franky said "Would anyone like to say something about the departed?" Zoro coughed and said "When he was alive he said that if he ever died I could have his alcohol."
Franky wiped his eye and said "Truly beautiful!" Zoro poured all the Sake from Zeus' gourd into his own and put the gourd back before drinking from his own. He was all out! What was he supposed to do?
Kin'emon sighed and said "He was so young!" Zeus groaned and sat up, Usopp screeched and said "A zombie!" and smashed Zeus in the head with a shovel. Zeus fainted again and Chopper sighed "What a life!" as he treated Zeus for head trauma this time.
A while later
The crew went back to their respective blending in spots and Zeus was awake. After he pummeled Usopp and strangled Zoro, he felt a bit better... Until he got the glares from Robin and Nami, he felt a headache coming back and beat Usopp up again.
Then they separated. Currently.
Zeus was sitting in his room in the Courtesan house, listening to Shiruton speaking nonsense. Zeus rubbed his eyes and said "They'll be fine, silly girl. Just relax! When Luffy gets there, use the card I put in Luffy's hat and you'll see Kid." Shiruton hugged Zeus and said excitedly "Thank you boss!" Zeus patted her head and said "Yeah, I'm the best boss there ever was, I know."
Shiruton giggled and skipped away happily, excited for the morning. Zeus fell to his back and put Tengoku on the sword rack behind him before spreading his arms out and falling asleep. Bonney and Persephone left to sleep with Robin and Nami and Zeus was all alone.
Frankly he wasn't too used to it. He had always been sleeping with SOMEONE for two years, recently it's been 2 someones. So he was having a hard time falling asleep, he sighed and pushed his hands off the ground and landed on his feet, leaving his Kimono on the ground as he stood on the balcony and looked at the moon.
Zeus lit a cigarette and sat down in a chair as he looked out to the city, with his entire torso exposed. The scar, the tattoo, the muscles, everything. He suddenly heard light footsteps from behind him and arms wrapped around his neck softly.
Zeus sighed and Persephone said "Can't sleep?" Zeus shook his head and said "Not without anyone next to me. I guess I got used to it.." Persephone rested her chin on his head and said "I can stay with you."
Zeus held her hands and rubbed his thumb on them as he said softly "You would?" Persephone nodded and said "I would do anything for you." Zeus sighed and said "Why? You know what position I'm in. Why do you stay with me?"
Persephone undid his topknot and his pure white hair spilled down his back. She kissed his head softly and said "Because I love you... I always have.." she walked around and sat on his lap, she leaned her head against his broad chest.
Zeus sighed sadly and stroked her hair as he said "You're such a stupid woman.." Persephone smiled and said "You're my superman." Zeus trembled and stopped before looking up to the sky and saying "Who are you really?"
Persephone shook her head and said "I can't tell you." Zeus sighed and stroked her air again as he said softly "Why?" Persephone smiled sadly and said "Because you would push me away." Zeus opened his mouth and Persephone put a finger on it and said "Please. Don't ask me anymore, just let me sit here. I like what I have now, I don't want to lose it."
Zeus sighed once more before looking at the sky and closing his eyes.
The next morning
Zeus woke up on the balcony with Persephone sleeping calmly in his arms with a smile on her face. Zeus sighed and whispered "Such a stupid woman.." before softly picking her up and laying her down on the floor, he covered her with his Kimono, picked up Tengoku and walked out of the room.
He lit a cigarette as he walked down the stairs, still topless. His body features were on display and he didn't bother to put his top knot back, he had his hat back on instead. His body had changed a lot in fact. His shoulders were broader, his neck was thicker and his muscles pupped out a lot more. He was still slim but you could tell he was extremely strong.
Zeus walked through the Courtesan house, leaving blushing women in his wake as he left and arrived at the Noodle shop. He picked a couple bottles of Sake off the shelf and filled his gourd back up before vaporizing the bottles. He bought a bowl of Soba and sat outside at a table by himself.
He finished his Soba and leaned back, drinking from his gourd before lighting a cigarette and watching the people walk by on the streets.
Eventually, Sanji sat next to him and Zeus threw him a pack of cigarettes saying "Best ones in the North Blue." Sanji caught them and lit a cigarette before saying "Rough night?" Zeus sighed and said "Sort of. You?"
Sanji grinned and said "Slept like a baby." Zeus chuckled and turned back to the street, Sanji looked over and said "New tattoo?" Zeus spread his left arm out and said "Just got the background filled in, like it?"
Sanji nodded and Zeus took his arm back before saying "You should get one. They don't hurt that bad." Sanji hummed and said "Meh. Feel like it would look like shit later." Zeus shrugged and said "If you keep in shape, by the time it looks bad you'll be close to death anyway. Why not? What would you get?"
Sanji rubbed his chin and said "Probably a thing for my mom." Zeus nodded and said "Probably shouldn't get it here then. There's a nice tattoo parlor on Abyss Island actually, the artist is really good! I got a few touch ups from her, and she looks good too!"
Sanji exhaled a mouthful of smoke and said "Oh yeah?" Zeus nodded and said "Plus she's really nice. She didn't even charge me.. It might have something to do with me owning the Island though." Sanji chuckled and Zeus smiled.
Robin, Toko, Franky, and Usopp joined Zeus and Sanji at the table and Sanji went to make more Soba. Zeus chatted with the others about stuff and Sanji served them. The group had Soba peacefully until 3 men walked over to Sanji and said "You know, you aren't paying any protection fees.."
Zeus was startled and muttered "That's my line!" one of the men looked at Zeus and said "Scram!" Zeus was stunned and pointed at himself, this was his building! If he left, where would he go? Obviously the 3 men had no idea what was going on and one of them directly smashed the Soba bowl out of Toko's hands.
The air stilled and the entire group glared at the 3 men.
One of the passersby sighed and said "These 3 have pretty big guts, they even messed with the 'Mad Demon of the Court'." he shook his head and walked to the bath house.
The 3 men heard Mad Demon of the Court and paled. They didn't recognize Zeus with his hat on and they knew they were fucked. Fortunately for them, Zeus didn't even make a move. Sanji directly kicked them all across the street.
One of them said weakly "You damn Soba cook! Even if you have the Mad Demon backing you, you won't escape our revenge!" he shook his fist and dragged his two friends away.
Zeus touched his nose and said "I've become the backer?" Sanji chuckled and said "Sorry Boss." Zeus gave him a wry smile, what boss, Sanji wasn't even getting paid...
Sanji made a new bowl for Toko and Toko laughed as she ate. This further cemented the fact that EVERYONE liked Toko.
Toko finished her bowl and laughed before slapping her forehead and saying "Oh no! I forgot about my job!" she hopped off Robin's lap but Zeus caught her collar.
He picked her up and turned her to him, he grabbed a napkin and wiped her mouth clean before dropping her one the ground. The crew and Toko stared at Zeus in shock, Zeus was startled himself and touched his nose saying "Ah, sorry."
Toko had her mouth open with a smile and she hugged Zeus before running away. Zeus waved her go with a smile and Franky said "What kind of Underworld boss is this..." Usopp couldn't believe it, Sanji closed his mouth and sat down and Robin covered her mouth and said "Wow.."
Zeus waved and said "Whatever, it was nothing. She's going to be in front of everyone walking with the Oiran. She has to long presentable, no?" Robin giggled and said "Whatever you say~" Franky chuckled and said "Great excuse by the way."
Zeus grumbled and drank from his gourd, ignoring the crew as they laughed at him. It was a sort of instinct, he didn't even realize until he put her down. He sighed in his heart and assumed it was because he was going to be a father soon.
