12 Chapter 12: A New Warlord of the Sea

"It's been some time..." I greeted everyone on the plaza calmly, still mentally adjusting to the new feeling of actually sensing time and space move through me. Diving through thick cotton candy rain clouds, I could only assume, that Luffy had succeeded and the Civil War was finally over.

Floating just above the roof tops, I am able to make out some familiar faces. Vivi, Koza, Chaka, Kuma, Smoker and Tashigi were all first in line to great me, as everybody else just kneeled on one knee, their heads cast to the ground

"Michael D. Saint?!" Asked me Smoker unfaced by my flashy arrival, just as I noticed Vivi's uncommonly lavish robes and the diadem on her head.

Turning to Smoker, I replied friendly. "Yes, Captain Smoker? Might I ask what is going on?"

"I am only here to announce the will of the World Government, so ask somebody else..." Answered Smoker, before moving on to official business. "... I hear by announce, that Michal D. Saint from the Golden Fist Mercenaries is henceforth and effective immediately made the Seventh Warlord of the Sea. This is the just reward given to him personally for his role in uncovering the organisation now known as Baroque Works, stopping the Alabasta Civil War and apprehending the mastermind behind both, former Worlord of the Sea Sir Crocodile..."

"... Furthermore the Golden Fist Mercenaries are henceforth listed as an A+ Mercenary Company and receive a one time reward of 5 Billion Berry for their exemplary services during the already mentioned services..." Added Captain Hina of the Marines, who I had previously overlooked in my search for Robin and the Strawhats. "... Do you accept all of these?"

"Yes, I do." I replied and a thundering applause instantly drowning the entire plaza, then the city and eventually the entire country.

Palace; Alurbana; Alabasta Kingdom

Following Smoker's announcement of me being the Latest Emperor of the Sea, Kuma and I were escorted by Vivi, Koza, Chaka and four teams of Royal Guards to the Palace. On the way, Kuma gave me a quick rundown of the events following the explosion above the city.

And, just as I had already suspected, Luffy did indeed defeat Crocodile just as he did in the manga/anine cannon that I know of. But contrary to cannon, Robin ended up being arrested, the World Government didn't cover up the entire incident just the Strawhats involvement and sadly Vivi's father's, King Cobra's, body was found in the collapsed Royal Tomb/ Temple.

-How the hell do something's drastically change and others stay the same at the same time.- I asked myself as Kuma was reporting all that to me.

Also now Queen of Alabasta, Vivi announced her engagement to Kozar to stabilise the country, after two massive events. This way, she effectively made the former Rebel Leader Royal Consort. But, just like in the cannon, the Strawhats had already escaped the Marine more than two weeks ago, after a few days of rest.

Just as I was about to further question Kuma about Robin's situation, since I was already thinking about her as mine, we arrived at the packed full, very large and lavishly decorated throne room.

Lead inside by Chaka, the man left us infront of the throne and joind Korza standing beside the Vivi. With Korza to her left and Chaka to her right, while being dressed in tight but dignified white robes, the new queen looked like an Empress.

"Regardless of what the World Government rewarded, Alabasta still pays it's debts..." Began Vivi in a very formal tone of voice. "... When I hired you, I agreed to fulfil three conditions of yours if you fought for me. And fighting you did..."

Stepping forward, Chaka presented to me a white coloured cylinder and Vivi continued to speak. "... The first thing you wanted as a reward, was clothing that could withstand your powers. As such I present to you a present gifted to us by the Germa Kingdom. It's called a Prototype Raid-Armor..."

That said, I took the canister from Chaka and pushed the very large button on top. The next moment I found myself engulfed by light and I suddenly wore white speedos, that somehow perfectly were hiding my oversized junk and made me look like a bald Ken Doll. But, even more miraculous than hiding my junk, my purple skin colore started to change into a more natural pinkish/brown.

"... It suits you..." Commented Vivi unintentionally breaking character before she got a grip on her emotions. "... The second thing you demanded was that you are being paid in Berries..."

This time Koza stepped forward a rather bulky briefcase in hand. As he opened it to present it to me, I saw it filled with neatly stacked 10,000 Berry bills. Nodding, I wordlessly thanked the former rebel leader and took the briefcase.

"... As for your third demand, a favour from father..." Stated Vivi, her voice taking on a sad undertone. "... We hope to satisfy you by granting you our favour..."

"... So what is it that you want?" Asked Koza ending her sentence, aware of the storm of emotions inside Vivi, that lied just beneath the surface.

Remembering Robin, who was upposedly still imprisoned by the Royal Guard, I told Queen Nefertari. "I want a certain prisoner handed over to me?"

"Oh?! And who might that be?" Asked Chaka mildly amused.

Royal Prison; Beneath the Palace; Alurbana; Alabasta Kingdom

Meanwhile as I was being rewarded for my services, Robin was being held deep underground inside the Royal Prison for the third week in a row. Reminding herself, that at least she wasn't held by the Marine and that there was still hope, Nico couldn't stop herself from assuming the worst.

Only wearing the sea-stone handcuffs Michael had put on her, Robin was naked otherwise as the guards had taken all her clothing. Nake, cold and left alone in the dark, she asked nobody in particular. -Will he really take responsibility?-

"What a waste..." Nico suddenly heared a gruff male voice say, as a warm light appeared on the other side of the prison bars. "... Depriving us guards of a beautiful like you should be against the law..."

Hearing her creaking cell door open, Robin pressed herself into a corner of her cell, instinctively shivering as her warm flesh touched the cold brick wall, as the light came closer.

"Stay away from me!" Robin shouted, remembering the previous times horny guards had entered her cell and attempted to rape her.

"Hush, hush little rabbit..." Replied the guard calmly, as his ugly scared face became visible. "... It's time for your daily medicine..."

"Screw you..." Cursed Nico, just before cool liquid was forced into her mouth and down her throat, the 'medicine' being a very strong aphrodisiac made to ensure her body's willing participation in what the guards had in store for her.

Every day since she had been imprisoned here, guards had been feeling her this 'medicine' and tested her wetness by inserting one or two fingers inside of her. Until today, she had been able to prevent her body from getting aroused and wet, but today was the day, the accumulated aphrodisiac inside of her finally took effect the moment the guard grabbed her tight.

Holding back a moan, a horny growl inevitably left her mouth the moment a finger forced it's way inside of her.

"Ah, looks like our little rabbit is finally ready to be tasted..." The guards excitedly commented and the sounds of clothing being removed echoed unbearably long inside her cell. "... I guess I will have a tast, before we share you..."

Feeling the tip of the guards tip tease her entrance, Robin instinctively froze up, despite fully aware, that her body would turn traitor and willingly accept the intrusion.

But, just as she was expecting the guard to force himself upon her, an angry roar thundered as the cell was instantly bathed in white purple light. "GET AWAY FROM HER!!!"

That said, Michael instantly grabbed the half naked guard's skull and exploded it like a watermelon.

Seeing her saviour finally arrive, Robin said, her voice breaking and tears running down her cheeks like rivers. "You came..."
