6 Tower Of Power
Ryu: Kill every last one of them. Don't let a single one escape!
The gaurds seeing that a five year old could beat such a powerful person was ashamed. But it gave them confidence knowing that their King would undoubtedly be extremely powerful in the future. They rushed at the fleeing pirates with great enthusiasm.
After a while the Pirates were all killed aside from the Vice Captain. The gaurds rounded up all the dolls of him and tossed them all in a small box and sent them to the prison via carriage. Grey came over at this moment with the carriage that brought them here. He then handed Ryu the microphone and said.
Grey: I already had the gaurds hook it up to the surrounding speakers.
Ryu nodded. It was nice having a smart person amongst his future Sages. Ryu then said
Ryu: Look around you. Look at the man who died to protect you. Fought to keep you safe. Look further at the bodies of those who couldn't run fast enough. This is the danger of pirates and the danger of this world. The marines will not lift a finger to help us because we refuse to pay their bosses the WG. So that means we must protect ourselves. In this world only strength is truly absolute. This is why I made the positions I made. This is why I made the training center and the school. To increase the strength of our country. Right now it's only a 50 million beli man. Tomorrow it may be a 100 million, 300, million, 500 million or maybe billion beli man. I implore you to help me keep Atlantis Safe.
RM: Your Majesty I would like to enlist in the army.
RM: Me aswell.
With the first came the second and the third and it continued. But Ryu stopped them and said.
Ryu: Wait. I'm gonna make an announcement. Anyone man or woman can join the Army. But only if they have a child. If you yourself do not wish to leave your blood circulating then that is fine. Those under 18 cannot join and will be admitted into the school to learn the basics.
Gaurd: Your Majesty we found something on the pirates ship.
Ryu turned his head and looked. It was two small chest that some people could hold in their palm. Looking he could already tell what it was.
Ryu: Devil Fruit!
Sven: Devil Fruit? What's that.
Ryu: Devil Fruits are fruits that grant people an amazing power. Like my Crush abilities. It stems from the Crush Fruit. Devil fruits come in three types Zoan, Logia and Paramecia. Zoan allows a person to turn into a certain animal. Like this guy. There are many types of zoan regular zoan, Ancient zoan and Mythical Zoan. From a cat to maybe a dragon. Logias embody elements like flame, lava, ice, light, lightning etc. Logias are immune to normal physical damage you'll learn more about them later. Paramecias like mine allow a person to produce, create or control something like strings, gravity, diamond etc. Most dont know what fruit they have until they eat it. There is a book on fruits that have appeared more than once before. Sadly it's mostly in the hands of the WG. Infact I plan to set out in a few years to get your fruits. This is why I want you all to become powerful so that I can set out for not just your fruits but the fruits of the saints and commanders.
Grey: What type is this one?
Ryu: Open it.
The Gaurd opened bith and a clear fruit with intertwining circles and a silver fruit with odd shapes appeared. At that moment two arrows appeared in front of Ryu with the words Recovery Recovery Fruit and Metal Metal Fruit.
Ryu: It seems we're in good luck. I think I'll need to add a Hospital to the things that needs to be built. The top young doctor at that time will get this Recovery Recovery Fruit. As for this one. Hmm Tyler. Where is Tyler?
Tyler: I'm here your Majesty.
A Muscled bearded man appeared out of the croud. This is Tyler the current lead Blacksmith.
Ryu: Tyler you have a student correct.
Tyler: Yes his name is Oscar and is very skilled in the trade. Oscar come greet his Majesty.
A kid about 15 years old appeared with ruff black hair.
Oscar: H.. H.. Hello your Majesty
Ryu: Good from this day forth you'll have to start exercising. Atleast until you can use this fruit better Its called the Metal Metal Fruit.
Tyler: You mean.
Ryu: Exactly this fruit allows the user to produce all types of Metals even liquid. Oscar train this fruit well. In five years I want you to produce as much metal as you possibly can. In five years we'll start trading with other countries and you will be the key to that.
Oscar: I won't fail you your Majesty.
Ryu: Good here take it and eat it. You only need to eat it once as they are incredibly disgusting. Also stay away from the sea. Devil fruit users will die if they fall into the sea.
He visibly trembled with a scared look but gained some confidence and ate it. His face became unsightly as he tossed the fruit away. He choked and coughed a few times trying to throw it up. After a while he stopped and looked at the fruit in fear.
Ryu: I told you it was disgusting. In addition to being unable to do anything when making contact with sea water you also cant eat another fruit or you'll die. As for more you'll learn at a later date. For now study and train your fruit but don't forget to study under Tyler diligently. Tyler in addition to the plans I sent you before I want you to make some shields and spears. The shields should be able to connect to each other. I'll show you the plans later.
Tyler: Yes Your Majesty.
Ryu: Take the treasure and convert it to beli and give it to their families. If they have a child they can live in the castle until they can live on their own. Let's all rest up for today and mourn our losses. Everything else can wait until tomorrow.
With that Ryu, Sara and the sages got back in the carriage. After entering the carriage driver rode towards the castle. Everyone watched in silence as the carriage drove away. While inside Sara and the sages looked at the sleeping Ryu with determination.
Next Evening
At this time Ryu along with Sara and the Sages stood in front of the tower. Ryu despite being exhausted woke up early. After sending the sheild drawings to Tyler and having someone deal with the recruitment and training process of the soldiers he left.
He made the training regimen the same as that of One Punch Man. If they could beat that then double it or triple it. Luckily for them it seemed that the team of blacksmith are close to creating the Arrow Cannon and have started to test the Ballista. This would be a great thing to counter pirates seeking to raid them
Unlike cannon balls these arrows couldn't be avoided or kicked away at ease. They had sharp needles all over it. Let Sanji try kicking it without Haki and even with his modified body he may get his leg cut off.
Ryu walked towards the tower put his hand on it and said
Ryu: Tower Of Power.
As soon as he said that the ground trembled slightly. The white paint on the tower slowly turned black as information poured into his mind. Another shocking thing happened as a large screen appeared on the side. Removing his hand he looked at the six shocked faces behind him.
Ryu: Cmon let's go inside.
Once inside they saw a white space with nothing inside or any levels. However a womans voice spread throughout the room.
A.I.: Welcome Your Majesty, Lady Sara and The Five Sages to the Tower Of Power. I am the towers intelligence and shall accommodate you depending on your training route.
Ryu ignored the six of them as he said
Ryu: Your name will be leah from now on. Create a grassland area and apply gravity to each of us individually depending on our body types and how much we can handle.
Leah: Yes Your Majesty
The White room glowed slightly as their surroundings changed to a grassland with a stream nearby. The grassland seemed to go on for forever. The others touched the ground and drank from the stream. looking towards Ryu they showed amazing expressions. Ryu only smiled as he said
Ryu: You should prepare yourselfs for the increase in gravity.
As if on cue each of them felt an invisible force impacting them. This gravity increased steadily as each of them struggled to even stand up. Sara fell first along with Alex. Then Grey, Sven, Loki and lastly Laxus. Each of them amazed at the intensity.
Ryu: Is that all you have. Laying like a bunch of weaklings. You are the final protectors of Atlantis stand up and act like it. Remember what happened yesterday as you watched the people and children of this country die. As you watched children become just like you. Parentless.
These words managed to wake them up. As the five sages slowly stood up. Looking at Sara who was still struggling Ryu said
Ryu: Sara could it be you no longer wish to stand by my side.
