(Vol 3) CHAPTER - 18 { Prime Akuma Part-1 }
*Slam*
The newspaper was thrown on the table occupied with some files and reports.
Reclining on the chair, the man closed his eyes and rested his arms on the armrest of the chair.
"Father, what exactly were you trying to find?"
The man opened his eyes and stared at the empty ceiling with only a spinning fan.
"Devil, what will you do now?"
The man, with the uniform of Vice Admiral of the Navy, stood up from the chair.
"Whatever you do. You will get what you deserve, very soon."
The man walked out of the office with heavy footsteps. On the side of the door, there was an eye -catching yellow and black suit.
On the table, there was a photo frame with an old photo of two individuals.
One was a young boy, about 15 years old while the other one was a man in the Admiral's uniform.
It was once very famous, known with the special code name "Eyes", Admiral Dram!
The man who left the office, was actually the adopted son of Admiral Dram.
Vice Admiral Fenrir!

Heaven Realm___
In the White House, Akuma sat on his throne made with gold.
The thorn trees on the side all stopped growing as more than 90% of the floor was covered in vines and roots.
"Father, it's time."
Walking inside the room, Jimmy bowed and looked at Akuma with a smile.
"You can finally return back to your prime!"
He said with a grin while Akuma stood up from the throne with struggle.
His body was dying every second. Even breathing became hard for Akuma.
As he walked past Jimmy, Akuma was greeted with the bright sky.
The sun shone on the forgotten land of the Devil's Home.
The thorn forest seemed dark but behind it was the green fields, lakes and normal forest.
The white crystal gate, gripped with the thick vines looked unmovable.
Yet with just a push from Akuma, the whole gate ripped open.
'Looks like the world is going to become a chaotic place.'
Jimmy giggled and followed Akuma closely while eyeing him from behind.

Hell Realm___
In the laboratory, multiple searchers and scientists rushed from one place to another.
"Hurry!"
With the new updates, Hamburg tapped his arm and supervised.
"Heram, fill the serum."
Hamburg pointed towards the ten huge cylinders filled with green fluids.
Each one was labeled with a green leaf, the word below it said, "Life".
"Hurry! Captain will be here soon. And get those two here!"
Hamburg ran to a table and picked a microchip, and went to the machine which they were working on.
Very similar to the one, which Akuma had used to perfect and change his heart.
Just many times bigger and more advanced because of modern tech.
"Hamburg, is everything ready?"
An old voice, called out. It was Maba, behind him were Akuma, Jimmy, Bella and her son, and lastly Beauty.
"Almost perfect! Heram! Clear the seat for our Captain!"
Hamburg shouted as a man in his 40s in white coat nodded and cleared the things around the huge seat.
That seat, in the middle of the room, was specially designed for Akuma.
"Start…"
The weak and dying voice of Akuma's, sounded in the room as Bella supported him.
"Get him on the seat. Where's the two subjects?"
Hamburg questioned timely as three pirates came in with two figures.
They both wore a helmet on their heads, which glowed in green light.
Some wires connected on their body which pierced deep in their flesh.
They were-
Charlotte Pudding, 35th daughter and the 76th child of the Charlotte Family, an officer of the Big Mom Pirates, and a hybrid between a human and a member of the Three-Eye Tribe.
Jewelry Bonney, also known as the "Big Eater", the captain of the Bonney Pirates. She is also a devil fruit user.
Unnamed paramecia-type devil fruit that allows her to manipulate the aging process, allowing her to freely make herself and others older or younger.
Uncertainty, their bodies were controlled directly by Hamburg using electronic waves.
As Hamburg was mostly a machine, he could perform many tasks which humans couldn't unless with the help of a devil fruit.
Akuma laid down on the seat, or also almost a bed above the floor.
The lights on the ceiling, illustrated each and every detail of his body naked body.
Weak, poor health, dying, unfortunate, wounded, unhealing, these were the words best to describe his state.
Hamburg injected some unknown fluids in his body through the veins.
Half of the researchers and scientists who were not needed now, left the room.
"Let us start!"
Hamburg grinned and waved his hand towards the controlled Bonney.
Walking next to Akuma, Bonney extended her hands and touched his chest.
On the sides, Maba, Jimmy, Bella and her son, and Beauty watched carefully.
Jimmy and Beauty were like emergency support when the situation went in the wrong direction.
On the seat, Akuma's body started trembling and then shook violently.
Sweats dripped down from Bonney's face as she used her devil fruit ability to change Akuma's age.
Slowly, changes occurred as Akuma's body started shrinking.
From 6 meters, his body decreased to 3 meters. All the decaying muscle tissues in his body now showed signs of growing.
The face, full of wrinkles and falling skin, became tight and smooth.
Once about to face death Akuma, now returned back to his prime.
A prime where everyone was scared of him. And that time was, when he was titled "Devil of the Sea".
*Bam*
Bonney breathing roughly fell on the cold floor as her body felt extremely heavy.
"Wonderful! Now the second part!"
Hamburg spoke, and this time, Pudding, wearing a similar helmet, walked forward to Akuma.
Pudding touched Akuma's forehead as her devil fruit ability began.
But for some reason, Pudding shook and wanted to get away from Akuma.
Hamburg could feel some part of her emotions through the electronic waves.
Fear, terror, frightened, these were the emotions Pudding felt as soon as she looked at Akuma's memories.
'What is she seeing?'
Hamburg pondered and was really curious. But a single glance from Maba made him silent his thoughts for now.
"Continue!"
Ordered Hamburg, he made sure that Pudding didn't step back from Akuma.
Pudding removed all the blurry clouds of aging from the memories of Akuma.
Giving Akuma the capability to remember all his past memories with ease.
Minutes turned to hours, and finally the second part of the process of bringing Akuma to his prime was over.
"Soon, father will rule over the World Government and this world!"
Bella stared at Akuma, her eyes filled with admiration and respect.
"Haha. Exactly!"
Jimmy also nodded and agreed to what Bella had said. The world will definitely change.
The Devil of the Sea… is resurrecting back!
