OP98: The Sky Islands
🕑 Added 2023-09-19 19:04:27 +0000 UTC*WHOOOSH!*
The skies had become my domain. In this regard perhaps the only person that could match me was Admiral Kizaru. My mom took her sword, her hat and her coat... the only things she'd usually carry around with her. We made a deal (more like I was forced) to have holidays for a month. It would be the first time in these five years that I'd spent the furthest away from my laboratory and workshop but it is worth it to spend it with them.
To reach Skypea I needed a special device. The island is not floating exactly above Rusukaina. I have long known that Shandora and Amazon Lily are my weaknesses... ships that the world government could use to intimidate me, just like they did with Rusukaina.
That's why I ended up making the decision... I put Amazon Lily high above the skies together with Shandora and Angel Islands and I created a powerful engine that would move the islands periodically within the Grand Line, the location would never be the same.
Those places had societies of their own but at the end of the day they also served as my production chain, everything that I created in my workshop was produced en masse in Amazon Lily and Shandora... then it would be shipped to Rusukaina once Stussy and her team sold them in the Underworld.
The transportation was also dealt with by me. I created flying vessels called 'Skycrafts' they worked with electric energy that I produced and stored in gigantic g-batteries. I had many other methods to produce g-batteries but as you'd expect, I'm the most efficient way to make them, I can create more than a thousand in an hour and each battery can power up a Skycraft for a month.
...
As we flew past the clouds and into the city my mom saw it again, the last time she was here was maybe two years ago, she never comes here... she stays the majority of the time in our mansion or heads out to hunt pirates every so often, she's still a warlord after all.
The same could be said for Primrose, she also never leaves Amazon Lily unless she's going to Shandora or to do any political treaty in my name.
High above the skies, one could see two semi-modern islands. Amazon Lily has a massive mountain where the main capital is located inside, but unlike before which used to be a forest, now the edge of the island is filled with construction projects, docking platforms for my skycrafts to arrive and much more, they're able to build everything without me needing to involve myself.
Only sometimes would I be called to move something massive or do something complex with my psychokinesis.
On the other side, there was the majestic golden city of Shandora and the modern city of Vesta. After I restored it to its previous glory it became the home of both Skypeans and Shandians, just like Angel Island, but while the latter is more of a touristic spot, Shandora is the main home of both races.
There are now Amazonians also living in there and a lot of marriages between each race are taking place.
I can't say I'm not proud of what we have made in just five years... I'm not the only one that has made this. Mihawk, Hancock, Sandersonia, Marigold, Primrose, Stussy and even Gion have assisted me in creating this wonderful spot by escorting materials through the calm belt. Even Robin during the time she was here helped build this Empire with her Yami Yami no Mi and Hana Hana no Mi which allows for things to move swiftly through the darkness and also, move extremely heavy items.
It was a joint effort of my team. I guess in a way we do deserve these holidays. I've wronged them as their husband but they've been fair to me as my wives.
*BOOOMMM!!*
I landed in the main capital and was greeted by the sight of my cute babies.
Gorgon the Black Mamba and Noir the Panther were right at the door of the palace, they both ruffled themselves against Mihawk and me, I know the lazy Gator is in Shandora. They're guardian beasts.
"Welcome, my God".
After ascending to the skies even the girls from Amazon Lily addressed me as god while they bowed deeply towards my mom.
I entered the palace that was now riddled with electric gadgets such as communicators, lights and a lot more, in a way it was 'modernized' but it retained its old architectural design. There was a gigantic statue of the legendary Amazonian Shawty in one of the interceptions, I sculped that myself.
"Prim~"
"Baby!~".
Once I entered the main door sight of my beloved wife greet me, she was in loose robes, wearing glasses and doing some paperwork with her assistant, Shawty's daughter, Sammy who should be twenty years old now. Primrose jumped, hugged me and kissed me while the blushing Sammy excused herself shily.
Primrose then saw my mother behind me and coughed a bit before hugging her courtly.
"It was been a while, Mihawk".
"Certainly, I see you're working as always~".
"I imagine you're as lazy as always~".
Sparks flashed but just briefly, with the years those two learned not only to share a bed with me but also, to talk to one another friendly... I know the only reason they're a little on guard against one another is me, otherwise, they'd be the best friends ever.
"It is a miracle to see you out of the workshop, do you finally recall you have a beautiful wife here waiting for you?~"
She pushed me onto her chair and straddled me right away, I hugged her waist while my mom sat on the chair at the opposite side of her table, crossing her legs on top of the desk much to Primrose's irritation.
"I'd never forget, Prim. I just finished my invention earlier do you want to know what I'm trying to make?"
"What is it?" She asked while smooching my neck, I understand that she's like this, we haven't seen each other in three weeks.
"An engine, but that's not important... I was also making a robot that can do all your paperwork~".
"..." The elder of Amazon Lily retreated for a bit, still hugging me. Her lips curled up as she played with my hair.
"Can I take that as you wanting to spend more time with me?~".
"What else do you think? I don't like to see you working so hard".
"It is okay... it keeps me busy while you're working. You know recently..."
"Recently?"
"Statistics say that double the amount of Amazonians is being birthed now in Shandora," She said as she trailed more kisses down my chest, at this stage I saw my mom giving us a sidelong glance.
"That's good..." My hands started running loose.
"And you're also fifteen now, in two weeks you're going to be sixteen years old".
"Yes..."
"Which is at the age I first gave birth to Hancock".
"Uh huh?".
I already know what she's trying to say and I'm not against it.
"So what do you say, Mihawk... isn't it about time we finally get a taste of this man?~".
My mom fixed up her hat and switched her legs on top of the table.
"That's precisely the reason why we're here, Primrose... I threat-*cough* convinced him to take us on some holidays to Fishman Island. Your daughter must be coming back from her expedition in the new world soon and she must go through there. We can receive them and stay for a month, enjoying ourselves and finally go through with our little 'promise'... I have a few bounties to collect but I'll postpone them for the sake of this".
"Really, baby?!~" Primrose rejoiced and kissed my face all over, I guess this was a good idea after all.
"Uh huh, I swear this was my idea... hundred per cent".
"Of course I have time... I was just signing up a few contracts, do you know that more and more countries are trying to acquire your g-lightning rods?".
"You mean the ones that convert lighting strikes into usable energy?".
"That's right... I guess that's something good?" She gave me a calculative gaze which I paid back with a deep kiss.
"Of course, that means we're moving forward... how many is this contract for?".
"Ten Thousand to the Kingdom of Lulusia, ten billion bellies. They have been suffering heavy showers and storms recently, that technology is going to be beneficial for them".
"Ten thousand.... hehe~ good, do you need more time? We will be waiting for you" It has been the biggest contract we've done out of the underworld. In there I sell other... things more dubious in nature but that will work for me in the long run, like weapons. Weakened versions of them of course, just like Vegapunk I'd never sell my last tech.
"Aren't you going to pay a visit to Wyper and Gan Fall?".
"Those geezers don't need me anyway, they're doing very well on their own..."
"I heard Wyper is having his second child with Raki, isn't that wonderful?" Prim licked her lips, once again sending me a hidden innuendo. I know she wants my child and I've had my inhibitions so far, but I think I'm ready now.
I stood up from her desk to allow her to continue with her job and called Sammy back into the room, the flustered girl bowed down before me. I think she thought we were going to do some naughtiness but not today... I'm quite backed up and I intend to stay like that for as long as I can.
Because that night I'm going to need all of my energy to satisfy all of them~
...
"Pero pero pero pero~"
"Pero pero pero pero~".
My mom and I had already fallen asleep on the bed that Prim used to sleep in her office when we heard a call.
"It is Hancock" Prim smiled broadly and answered the call.
"Dear~".
"Mother, it is me".
"Are you okay darling? are you coming back now?"
"Not yet, but I'll be going soon".
"Hancock~".
"Darling!~".
Upon hearing my voice her tonality changed a hundred and eighty degrees, she has grown up into a fierce pirate that people don't dare mess with and some even consider her a Yonko candidate but deep inside she is still my little mellow girl, I love them.
"Do you need me to go there to pick you up right away?".
"There is no need darling, I have sent half of the fleet back with a treasure. Do you want to know what it is?".
"Don't leave us like this...? The One Piece?" Her words intrigued all of us in the office, I even joked about that.
"The new world's one year's worth of divine tributes to Marie Geoise".
"W-What?!".
If I had anything in my mouth I'd have spit it. The new world's one year's worth of national tributes?!
One must know that all the kingdoms affiliated with the world government are asked to give tributes every year. There are kingdoms in paradise and also kingdoms in the new world. Those are collected by the marine and usually, a marine admiral is escorting it from the first kingdom to Marie Geoise.
Stealing that is one of the most heinous crimes ever!
"Hancock! Are you sure you don't need me there?!" For all I know she may have an Admiral chasing her right now, and although I know she can deal with an Admiral...
"There is no need to worry darling. I didn't steal that from the Marines myself. This treasure has been exchanged for ownership. I stole it from Doflamingo, he intended to trade it in exchange for his status as a Warlord. I received the information from Stussy and intercepted the ship before it sailed from Dressrosa to the exchange spot".
She did all that herself!? She even talks with Stussy...
"You talk with Stussy on my behalf?" I wonder if because she's my wife, Stussy decided to give away that information.
"Of course not darling. I have to pay Stussy for that. Your relationship with her is yours, mine is a different story".
I sighed, when did this woman become such a successful pirate? I know I had some influence in it but bloody hell, I feel she's leaving me behind. Prove to that is Primrose's proud laugh behind me.
"I thought you had already dealt with that Doflamingo guy or whatever".
"It is dealt with, but he has caused a lot of destruction in this kingdom. I'm thinking of taking it over under your flaw... we started moving in that direction but that can be done later, I just want to settle down the royal family here before heading to the Fishman Island".
"I see, did you crush them?~".
"Hmn, do you doubt your wife's power, darling?".
Poor bastard.
"Of course not, love... I know you're capable" I picked up the den den mushi and started speaking to her on my own, enthralled by her voice while Mom and Prim sighed... the warlord went back to sleep while Prim hurried up to finish her work.
I leaned on the handrail of Prim's office with the sight of the modern Amazon Lily as my view.
"You know I've been missing you quite a bit, in my bed" Hancock told me from the other side, I gulped... I haven't their body in two years.
"Me too, where are Marigold and Sandersonia? Put them on the den den mushi".
"They're not with me right now, they're doing some cleanup... but it doesn't matter darling. If you go to Fishman Island as you say, we can spend some sweet time together".
I resisted the urge to grasp my crotch, it seems the time has come for me, Rayleigh, I'll get what you never could!'.
After a casual talk with Hancock about our 'desires' for this holiday, I referred to something important for me. Their ships were made out of steel which I loaded with the most destructive weapons I could create coupled with a few of my g-batteries.
"How about the weapons, everything worked?".
"Everything worked wonderfully, I just have one complaint".
"What is it?" I worried right away.
"They're a bit uhh... destructive. Do you want to know how things turned out?".
"Go ahead~".
Thus, her tale of how she conquered this land named Dressrosa began.
