Chương 78: Moves
Zeus went back to helping in the construction process after giving most of the devil fruits he got from Impel Down. He only kept the More-More, Clank-Clank, String-String, and Kaido's unnamed fruit.
Tartarus started selling devil fruits at 4x market price, for all the stolen devil fruits.
Zeus did it on purpose so that they would attract attention and make people think about how he got them. What he wanted was a big attraction from a certain person. Zeus grinned and calculated the best time to start putting his plan in actions.
3 months since Wano
Zeus pulled out a snail and said "Put it in the Market, jack up the price to 20 Billion." A grunt was heard from the snail before Zeus hung up and put it away, going back to the construction site.
In the Black Market
There was a massive uproar as information spread through the various networks. Very soon, the entire underworld found out about the DFE serum and a massive bidding war occurred.
In Mariejoie
5 elders were sitting in a room and talking amongst each other.
"We need this. It cannot leave our hands, even if we have to destroy whoever gets it!"
"We can just threaten him. We know where he lived before as a child, just threaten him with their lives."
"Bump the bounties on his brother and his crew. I want this done immediately!"
A man suddenly walked into the room and said "Get me this DFE serum. I want it."
The 5 looked at him and said "Of course, young master!" the man grinned and said "My father will reward you afterwards." the 5 elders trembled in excitement and said "Immediately contact Zeus! Gather everyone he's ever known!"
The man walked away with a evil grin as he muttered "Zeus eh? Haven't heard that name in a while...." he cackled evilly before disappearing into thin air.
1 month later
Zeus sneered as he got information from Shiruton. He laughed and said "These 5 idiots, think I'm as stupid as them?" he looked down at the, now populated, residents on the main Island district. Makino, and everyone from Foosha Village as well as the Cocoyasi villagers, the Syrup villagers, and the Baratie chefs, were doing their own thing happily.
Makino opened her bar again and Nojiko started her Tangerine selling business. The mayor of both villages quickly became friends. Kaya started her own clinic, Zeff, reluctantly, opened a restaurant on the island and left the Baratie in the underground port after Zeus promised nothing would happen to it.
Zeus was going crazy with Island building, he even wanted Water 7 to move into a cove on the island. With Trent's fruit, he could easily reshape the island to open up a massive cove for Water 7 to float in. Unfortunately, Iceberg declined.
Zeus told him that it was dangerous for him to not be under his protection but Iceberg assured him it would be okay. Zeus didn't believe it and told Shiruton to leave spies around Water 7, if anything went wrong Zeus would rush there and, if necessary, move Water 7 himself.
The island bustled at the influx of people, it wasn't as much as Dress Rosa but there were still quite a few people, but there was plenty of room for them on Abyss Island. What's more, was that there was still enough room for even more!
Zeus looked at the island before flashing into the air and flying away, there was a little loose end he needed to tie up before it became a problem.
A while later
Zeus landed on Amazon Lily and rushed into the Palace. Hancock was sitting on the throne with a frown.
Zeus appeared in front of her and said "Time to go sister-in-law." Hancock frowned and said "They wouldn't dare come here would they?" there was un-concealable fear in her eyes, Zeus was serious and said "I'm not taking the chance. Let's go, you're all coming with me. There will be men on the island, I will have Marguerite teach the rest of the Amazons. Time to abandon your ridiculous beliefs."
Hancock shouted angrily "No! I will never abandon them!" Zeus snapped "Pick quickly, princess! Either you all die, or you drop your prejudice towards men! I couldn't care any less for any of your 'precious' hatreds, if it weren't for my brother do you think I would even be here? I don't care about any of them, nor do I care about you! You barely took care of my brother, but his kindness has given you a way out! Either you reel back the fucking attitude of yours, or you can have the entire Amazon population die along with you."
Zeus sneered and said "Remember this, I have no obligations to save you. I'm not attracted to you, to me you're just a stupid and weak woman. You still hold on to your trauma, because without it you're nothing. I have no use for weak people. Make your choice, live or die."
Zeus turned around and walked away, Hancock clenched her fists and finally shouted "Wait! I will come!" Zeus grinned and said "Gather everyone at the docks. I already have everything you need at my Island." before blurred and disappearing.
Hancock grinded her teeth in anger and Elder Nyon walked into the room saying "You made the right choice. The Government will not let us go, if we stay here." Hancock ignored her and bit her nails before saying "Bring everyone to the docks!"
A while later
Zeus was standing at the docks, smoking a cigarette and looking out to the sea. He heard foot steps behind him and turned around, his face was ice-cold as he said "Sure took you a long time. I almost left." Hancock seethed "It took a while." Zeus waved and said "Whatever, I don't really care." he whistled and a giant cloud scooped up all the Amazons.
Zeus jumped on the cloud and flew, high in the sky, above the clouds as he made his way to Abyss Island. The Amazons behind him were startled, they looked at the clouds and then a Zeus. They started whispering amongst each other "A man?! He looks like Luffy!"
Zeus spoke up "Where your going there will be men. Don't listen to your, big chest no brains, leader. You will all be friendly with the other people or else I will kill you. Understand?"
A fat woman sneered and said "A twig like yo-" Zeus waved his hand and a thunder spear pierced her head, killing her, before a hole opened in the cloud and dropped her body to the sea.
Zeus turned his head and sneered "You're all worthless to me, I hope you will learn this quickly. I'm not saving you out of the kindness in my heart. If any of you misbehave you will follow in that whale's footsteps, do you believe it?"
Hearing silence Zeus sneered even harder and continued "Bunch of warriors my ass. Shaken by a single strong person. What a joke." he looked over at Hancock and said "What did you teach these ants other than how to kiss a woman?"
Hancock was trembling in anger and Elder Nyon touched her shoulder, Hancock looked over and Nyon shook her head. Hancock took a deep breath and said "I didn't teach them how to kiss a woman!"
Zeus chuckled and said "Right, for sure. Whatever, I don't really care either way, you're all cannon fodder anyway. I could train a dog to be stronger than anyone of you within a month! When you get to the island Marguerite will be in charge, I'm directly stripping your 'Empress' position."
Hancock snapped "WHAT!?" Zeus turned around and hybrid transformed, releasing his aura as he said "Is that a problem, Hancock?" his aura pressured all the Amazons making it hard for them to breathe.
Zeus stepped forward and continued as he spread his Conqueror's Haki "I think you might have forgotten.." he grabbed her chin and sneered right in her face as he said "I'm the 'Emperor of the Underworld', not your little dog. I run the show and you obediently dance when I tell you to, understand?"
Zeus let go of her and rubbed his hand on his shirt as he said with disdain "You can't even stand anywhere near Luffy, you want to marry him? Let me shatter your delusions, you're weak. You're a burden for him, and if I have to, I will take care of you myself so he has no distractions. He doesn't need a pathetic woman to constantly hold him back."
Zeus chuckled and his Haki directly exploded, almost suffocating the Amazons as he said "What's more. Who are you? What can you do? Turn people weaker than you to stone? You're worth nothing, even if I kill you, you'll only be taking more room in the cemetery needlessly."
Zeus scoffed and his eyes flashed with disgust as he added "Now sit back and shut up before I feed you to the Sea kings, 'Sister-in-law'." he turned around and went back to standing at the front of the cloud, his Haki and pressure slowly disappearing as he reverted back to his normal form and lit a cigarette.
Hancock was staring at the 'ground' in a daze, Zeus' words ringing in her ears and shattering every ounce of pride she had. Elder Nyon looked at Hancock's broken look and then at Zeus' back, she had an idea but she didn't know if she was right. If it was then Zeus was an extremely good and ruthless actor, but if she was wrong then.. She didn't want to think about what that would mean.
Zeus kept his Observation Haki on Hancock but saw no changes. He meant everything he said, he wanted to stimulate her to wake up and have a drive to become stronger, if not for Luffy than at least to prove him wrong and defeat him.
After not seeing any emotions other than despair and grief, he clicked his tongue and muttered "What a waste.." Hancock and Nyon heard him but said nothing, Nyon walked over and whispered "Maybe you were too hard?"
Zeus looked at her and said "You think I was joking? If she crumbles she crumbles, I won't lose a single second of sleep over it. I only took them in for Luffy, do they even have a chance at fighting a new world pirate? The lowest staff in my organization can clean up Hancock in a few moves max, she's useless to me, as are the rest. If they don't conform to my Island's rules, I will kill them all with a smile."
Nyon was silent and looked behind her at the broken and confused Amazons before sighing, Zeus muttered "To become stronger, you must first crumble. Only through hardship will you harden your will." Nyon was startled but still said "What if they don't rebuild?"
Zeus shrugged and said "Then they get eaten alive. It's the law of the world, the weak die and the strong thrive." he bent over and whispered into Nyon's ear "If they stay like this, when I go to war with the World Government they will be the front lines. Hardened by blood and war will either wake them up or bury them forever."
Nyon trembled and looked at Zeus in terror, this guy was a mad man! Zeus chuckled evilly and added "Soldiers are sharpened through bloodshed!" Nyon was pale and sat back next to Hancock in a daze at the meaning of Zeus' words.
Zeus went back to a straight face and glanced at Nyon before turning back to the sky ahead. After the war, there will either be no Amazons, or new Amazons. There was no in between, he was giving them a path of life through a sea of fire and mountain of swords, if they came out alive, they'll be new people.
Zeus grinned, he had a plan for the Amazons. Perfect guards for the island, well the appealing ones anyway. If he was being honest with himself, he didn't really care for them at all. Hancock was a terrible ruler, every Amazon had this strange pride against men, as if they were gods for them.
It reminded him of the Nobles, so he broke their worthless pride. He would make new Amazons.. REAL Amazons. If they died, then they weren't meant to live in the first place, not in Zeus' world.
This might sound like Zeus was letting power go to his head and treating life as grass, but in reality. It was something he HAD to do. The Amazons were conditioned by Hancock to hate men and have immense pride that didn't match up with their strength. He was bringing them to Abyss Island, there were other people there.
If these stupid women went rampant on the island wouldn't he be shooting himself in the foot? He also didn't like their weird tastes, he would remold them to how he liked and educate them. You could call it brain washing if you wanted, but he didn't care. Whatever was best for the Island, having a bunch of men hating lesbians running around killing every man they saw, was not in his best interests.
He already 'fixed' Marguerite, what was a bunch more?
Soon enough
Zeus returned to Abyss Island and landed on a mountain top before saying "Marguerite!" Marguerite appeared and Zeus said "Take care of them, you're in charge of them all. Including Hancock. Teach them everything you know, If I see a single one even so much as glare at a man, I will kill them all. Understand?" Marguerite nodded, she knew Zeus didn't like they way the Amazons were.
When she first got here, he told her to learn about the outside world. It seemed like Zeus was a bit.. she didn't quite know how to put it... Not accepting of normal Amazon traditions. She used to think it was normal but now being on the Island for so long she realized it was different. Not that it was a bad thing, but it was usually frowned upon on the other islands.
She quickly rounded them all up and took them with her.
Zeus said "Shiruton." Shiruton appeared and Zeus said "Keep and eye on them and kill any of them who makes any... 'poor' choices. Also tell Marguerite to toughen them up or they will all die very soon. Make sure the other Amazons don't hear you saying it, tell her to make it look like she's helping them behind my back." Shiruton was confused but nodded and carried out the orders anyway.
Zeus narrowed his eyes at Hancock's disappearing figure as he took a drag from his cigarette and muttered "Are you going to crumble forever? Or are you going to rise up from the wreckage..." he grinned and stepped before disappearing completely.
In the Conference room
Zeus called the fleet captains. He gave them all snails and books when they met in Dress Rosa, they all answered and Zeus told them to get to Abyss Island within 2 months and to train hard for a big fight, possibly the biggest fight of their lives. The all confirmed and started to head towards Abyss Island.
Zeus thought about it and called Dragon. Dragon answered "What?" Zeus said seriously "Come to Abyss Island in 2 months. I have to discuss something very important with you." Dragon was silent and said "Myself?" Zeus hummed and said "You can come by yourself first but I think you'll just have to go back and get the rest of your people when you hear what I have to say."
Dragon was quiet before saying "I'll bring everyone to Abyss Island in 2 months." Zeus nodded and said "Perfect." Dragon said "Hold on kiddo. Is that DFE serum real?" Zeus nodded and said "Of course. I took a bunch of fruits with it, what did you think I was doing at Impel Down when I said shopping?"
Dragon sucked in a cold breath of air and Zeus added "I have Kaido's, Big Mom's, Doflamingo's, etc. Also the entirety of Tottoland is devil fruit less.. Well WAS devil fruit less, I don't know if they have anymore.. I should probably go check.." Zeus decided to go and see if his little sheep are ready to be shorn after he was done with Dragon.
Dragon choked and said "You're a mad man kiddo..." Zeus grinned and said "Who do you think I got it from?" Dragon chuckled and said "How's the pregnancy?" Zeus said "Persephone is 3 months along and Bonney is 7. When you get here, she'll probably be due. Gramps is going to kill me for not inviting him."
Dragon chuckled and said "Don't worry, that old fart won't even remember! Shishishsi" Zeus chuckled and said "That's what he gets for traumatizing me. Heheheh" Zeus got serious and said "Plus he can't know where I am. He doesn't even know about Abyss Island... or did you tell him?"
Dragon replied "I didn't tell him." Zeus nodded and said "Good. It's not that I don't trust Gramps but those snails are always tapped." Dragon grunted in agreement and Zeus smirked as he said "Wanna buy some devil fruits?"
Dragon sneered "At your fucking prices? You're insane." Zeus chuckled and said "I'll give you a family discount. 50% off their current price!" Dragon choked on the other end and snapped "That's still 2 times more than usual!" Zeus chuckled and shrugged "Who told you to slap my wife? The last guy who did that was fed to all the inhabitants of Abyss Island!"
Dragon sighed and said "Do I have to get you mental help kid? I know you didn't get your crazy from me!" Zeus burst out laughing and said "Maybe gramps hit me in the head a few too many times! Bwahahahahahaha"
Dragon sighed and said "Anyway, I'll be there with all my forces in 2 months." Zeus nodded and said "Good! I can't wait to see Sabo again!" Dragon snickered and said "Yeah... About Sabo.." Zeus frowned and said "Did something happen to him?! I swear I will, fuckin-"
Dragon rolled his eyes and said "Will you relax! He's fine, he just knocked up a girl though." Zeus gasped and said "Is it the fishman Karate girl?!" Dragon said "How did you know?!" Zeus chuckled and said "I knew they had a thing when I saw them on Dress Rosa! What a guy! I'm proud!" he paused before growling "Why didn't he tell me! That fucking bastard! I'll beat his ass all over my island!"
Dragon burst out laughing and hung up saying "See you soon." Zeus grit his teeth and glared at the snail, cursing that blond bastard in his heart, he swore that when Sabo got here he was going to remind him who the big brother was!
Sabo suddenly felt a chill go down his spine. Koala looked over and said "What's wrong?" Sabo frowned and said "I just got a bad feeling..." Dragon passed by and snickered, Sabo was still confused and Dragon said "We're going to see your brother soon... I was JUST on the phone with him.."
Sabo paled and said "You didn't!" Dragon grinned and disappeared, Sabo shivered and said "Not good!" Koala was confused and Sabo said "Ahh! He's gonna beat my ass! Damn it! That old fart, I'll have my revenge!" Dragon's loud laughter echoed in the air and Sabo shouted curses, while Koala was still confused.
