44 The start of the curse!
I fly with Conis and lead Nola towards the ruins of Shandora.
"Um… So you defeated god Enel. So what will you do now?" Conis asks.
"I will establish here my second base. Some of my summons will stay to mediate and keep the peace between the Shandians and the Skypieans. Might have to do a marriage just for the bonds. After the initial rework of your positions, I will pass on what to do and what not, after this we will start the development of the land, building of the army and when I am able, creation of portals between my locations." I explain the base of what I will do.
"But will you stay here or go back to the blue sea?" Conis tightens her arms around my neck.
"Huh? I am going to the blue sea to continue my journey. I can appear here on a moment's notice anyway because some of us are staying here, so it doesn't matter if I stay or not." Lynx
'I haven't spent any time with her at all, nor does she know what Enel wanted to do, since I ended him prematurely. She can't have any feelings for me.' I look back at her confused.
Conis blushes and looks away from my gaze.
"Um… Can I come with you to the blue sea and join your adventures? … I want to follow you and become stronger!" Conis
"... For what reason? You are now safe up here in the sky, especially with my protection. Why do you want to come with us and risk your life?" Lynx
Conis panics for not having a good answer but gives up.
"From what I gathered from the ship, I learned that you are probably the strongest person on the ship, but you are still expanding your powers as if there are even stronger opponents out there. So… The best option is to follow you, become strong under you and get protection for me and my dad." Conis tells her true feelings.
"So you want to join not because you want to be a pirate, but to obtain protection? You get it just by staying here, why should I allow you to join us?" My voice becomes icy.
Conis is pretty, but I have many beautiful women around. There is no reason to have her around.
"I… I don't just want to stay here and await for better times! I don't want to feel helpless anymore! I don't want to lose someone precious!" Conis gets riled up.
"Fine, there are two options for you joining our crew." I don't want to bother with her anymore, so I decided to end it by giving her an ultimatum.
"... What are they?" Conis prepares herself.
"You either ask Luffy and get the other shipmates approval, but in that case I won't be responsible for you, as I have other things to do." Lynx
"And option two?" Conis gets depressed a bit and hopes that the second one is better.
"You can become my summon and woman." Lynx
"What?" Conis looks confused because she didn't think I would ask for that.
"At that point, I don't mind you sticking to me 24/7 and will take care of you as best as I can. But let me warn you, that I have also other women, with whom I will form a big family. Decide before the evening and don't tell anyone about it." Lynx
By the end of our talk, I see the hole Robin made and fly down. Nola follows us even as it has to squeeze through the small hole.
We emerge above Shandora and descend towards the ground with Nola falling down.
"Jurarara!!!" After landing, Nola seemed to get excited looking at the city.
Passing nearby is Laki, carrying some supplies that fall on the floor as she sees Nola.
"WHY HAVE YOU BROUGHT THE SKY SERPENT?!" Laki's eyes widen in horror seeing the giant snake appear in Shandora.
"Go bring Wyper and the rest of the Shandians here, Nola will wait here for him. Where are my crewmates?" Lynx
"Ugh, what are you planning to do?" Laki asks concernedly.
"Just tell me and go get Wyper." Lynx
"Fine. The other blue sea people are that way." Laki points into a direction and quickly leaves to get Wyper.
"Alright, go that way and say that Chopper should come here for translations." I tell Conis.
"Huh? Why me?" Conis looks confused since she barely knows the members.
"Do you want to babysit the giant ass snake in my stead?" I point behind me at Nola who is observing us.
"... Be right back!" Conis runs away as if she is riding a Waver.
"Well then Nola! Wait for a few minutes as I make them come." I explain to Nola.
"Jurara." Nola lies down and waits in a resting position. It waited for 400 years, so what a few more minutes.
I on the other hand close my eyes and start to practice the portal creation. I want to at least expand it to the size of a person, so others can pass through as well besides small people or Logia users.
Portal after portal, blue flash after flash, Nola observes in curiosity as it's never seen something like that.
"Practicing patiently?" A voice comes from behind, attracting mine and Nola's gaze.
Dr. Strange floats out of the portal and looks at me with a nod.
"Of course! I need this portal ability so other people can pass through as well!" I roll my eyes.
"You will be able to do that soon enough. Here, I brought the modified sling ring for your kid." Dr Strange tosses the sling ring to me.
"Thanks! Annie will be happy! Can I get a few more? Maybe some of my other summons might want to learn the powers since they also have mana. Also! Give me your coordinates before I invite myself to you via failed lasso! I want to get some tech!" Lynx
"Please don't… *Sigh* You are quite the impatient one. I will bring you some more rings tomorrow and an enchanted locket so you can come. But please open a small portal to warn me, so you don't portal yourself to Kamar Taj." Dr. Strange can already feel a headache incoming.
"Alright, I will wait and announce myself first. By the way, can I also get a book for making fixed portals like you have between your locations? I want to set up some between my bases." Lynx
"... I will regret it if I ask what you are planning, right?" Dr Strange
"Nah, for now it is only to facilitate faster travel and trade between locations. Might later use it for something else, but I don't think I will have to do that for now." I put my hand on my chin while thinking about it.
"Yep. The second part I didn't want to hear. *Sigh* You won't give up anyway, right? I'm glad I have a contract with you or I would fear what would happen in my world. Well, see you tomorrow then." Dr Strange disappears through a portal before more trouble appears.
Right after I hear loud rumbling- The Shandians and the Straw hats are all rushing here battle ready.
"Seems like they didn't listen much." I sigh at the sight.
Nola raises its head and looks intrigued at the figures rushing towards us.
"Everyone! Put down your arms before I zap you with 100 million volts!" I yell towards the approaching figures who quickly have second thoughts.
"What did you want me and the rest of the Shandians here for? To see the snake?" Wyper approaches me in front of everyone.
"You said you needed me as well, right?" Chopper comes closer.
"Yes! Chopper you will translate. Alright, everyone! This here is Nola. The former Shandian deity… Well at least in the case of its parents." Lynx
"WHAT?! I DON'T APPROVE ANY GOD ANYMORE!!" Wyper yells.
"Calm your balls. The tradition was discontinued with the arrival of Noland who off-ed it's grandparent and Kalgara off-ed its parent. They took care of the young Nola here when it was only the size of a normal snake. I brought it here so it can see the descendants of its former friends." I explain.
"WHAT?! This serpent was a friend of Kalgara and Noland?!" Laki
I walk closer to Wyper and whisper.
"Tell it that it's welcome again to stay in Shandia. That you will play with it, hang out with it and so on. It's good for Shandora." I whisper into his ear.
Wyper clenches his fists and steps forward towards Nola.
"I am Wyper! The descendant of Kalgara! I promise to rebuild Shandora and you are welcome to stay around and become part of our tribe again!" Wyper yells towards Nola.
"Julala? Julalala." Nola gives a side glance.
"She said 'Really? You all seem to be scared of me.'" Chopper translates.
"Yes, we are sure! We just need to adapt to your size." Wyper says.
"Jula julala." Nola nods.
"She says 'Ok, thank you.'" Chopper
There is a weird mood so I decide to make it even weirder. Searching for the location of my summon I create a portal that still isn't big enough for a whole person.
"Hello?" A head pops through- Marianne.
The Shandians are surprised again since they didn't expect that even after I used the ability versus Enel.
"Hi Marianne! Tell Cricket to push his head through here. I will summon you up here after." I smile at her.
"Ok… But I want a reward for such a long neglect." Marianne shows her tongue before disappearing inside the portal.
A few moments later we hear a voice.
"What? You want me to poke my head through there? You nuts?" Cricket
"Do it, if you wanna see the Shandora Noland saw." Marianne
"... Fine." A head with a chestnut on top appears through the portal.
"What is thi-HOLY HELL!!" Cricket exclaims seeing the cloud covered Shandora, the Shandians and Nola.
"So Cricket! Welcome to Shandora!" Lynx
"... Kid, make this hole bigger so I can pass through as well." Cricket looks at me.
"You will have to wait for a few days so I can make a bigger hole. But for now~ Everyone! This is Mont Blanc Cricket- he descendant of Mont Blanc Noland. Cricket, these are the Shandians and this is Nola- the serpent Noland and Kalgara took care of." I first point at Cricket and then point out the others to him.
"So you are part of the Mont Blanc family? It's an honor to meet you. I am Wyper. The descendant of the great warrior Kalgara." Wyper comes closer and introduces himself in respect of their ancestors.
"Nice to meet you as well. I'm Cricket. Heh, it's good to know that my ancestor wasn't a liar. Wish I could spite all the people who made our life miserable because of it." Cricket smiles wryly.
"Julalala!! Julalalalaala." Nola's head comes closer with tears in it's eyes.
"She says 'It's really them! They are like them besides looking like punks.'" Chopper translates.
The two men glance at Nola with weird expressions.
"Well, you can sort this out now. I've got my own things to arange. So have fun~" I leave them as I walk to the rest of the crew.
Approaching the crew Annie comes first as always and followed by others.
"Here Annie. Dr Strange brought your own ring." I hand over the sling ring.
"Yaaay! Now I can do portal pranks as well! Uuuu~ I can now throw my fire through portals to hit people even easier! NO! I CAN DROP WITH TIBBERS IN GIANT FORM!!!" Annie is already grinning thinking about how to use this ring in the most annoying and trolling ways.
"NO FAIR!!! I WANT ONE TOO!!! Why does only Annie get the fun things?" Lux stomps the ground annoyed that Annie gets everything fun.
"That's true. I would also like to have that ability." Sona comments.
"Not just her, master." Siren adds.
"Don't worry. I asked Dr Strange for more rings, so you will be getting them tomorrow." I reassure them.
"Good, as long as we get them." Sona nods.
"Now let me call a few people." I first pull the air and Marianne appears.
"Marianne! You are finally here!" Annie comes closer and hugs Marianne.
"Hey Annie. Was it exciting up here? Down on Jaya it was calm and somewhat boring… I've gotten too used to the hectic atmosphere of the crew." Marianne smiles and hugs her back.
'They really look like sisters right now. Hm, now that I look closely… They have grown! Marianne has actually grown and developed so she actually looks like a 14-year old now. Annie on the other hand has grown to the size of a 9 year old.' I shift my gaze a bit to look at the girls.
'Now that I mention growth… My girls' bodies have definitely grown in a few places! I didn't notice because I was playing with them mostly every night! Damn, Braum's milk really is effective!' I finally realize how the girls have changed.
Most of their skin is now silky smooth, their boobs have grown by a cup size at the least! Their asses are also firmer remembering when I grabbed them. Their hair also is shiny and has a nice fragrance.
'Stop! Don't think about it! You can nail them tonight, for now, we need to work!' I shake my head as I try to focus my blood to not leave my brain towards another area.
"So Lynx, about my neglect reward~" Marianne comes closer with a grin.
"Neglect reward?" Some members give her a weird look.
"Yea, for leaving me alone on Jaya for so long without checking up on me. I know I said I would stay but still, I was lonely." Marianne looks at Siren.
"Fine, what would you like?" I say without minding it, it's Marianne! The one who blushes and gets over excited over minor things!
"I heard from Masira that boobs grow stronger from stimulation." Marianne blushes a bit.
"Huh? No wait, why does he say that? He is a dude and has pecs not boobs." I give her a strange look.
"Well, he beat his chest a lot like gorillas, and noticed that in times when he did it more often, the growth was bigger. So he started playing around i-" Marianne is interrupted.
"NO!!! NO!!! THAT'S NOT AN IMAGE I WANTED TO EVER IMAGINE! FUCK! WHERE IS PUDDING WHEN YOU NEED TO ERASE MEMORIES?!?!" I grab my head trying to beat out the image of Masira playing with his chest.
"PUDDING?! WHERE'S THE PUDDING?!" Luffy jumps in front of me in feral mode, searching for food after hearing about it.
"There is no pudding." Lynx
"What?! But you just yelled something about pudding!!!" Luffy grabs my shoulders and shakes me.
*Slap!* I facepalm but am too lazy to explain it.
"Sanji and the others will come soon, ask him to make some." Lynx
"OH! Good idea!" Luffy runs off in search of the rest of the crew.
"Anyway, for my reward. I want you to massage mine so they can grow big. You like them that way, right?" Marianne cups her breasts and looks up at me with a red face.
I look down at her and stare at her for a few moments.
"Did Annie teach you?" I ask her.
"HEY!" Annie protests on my side.
"No… I only observed her." Marianne looks away.
"*Sigh* If you really want it I will, but I don't really prefer big ones. They are fun but small ones have their charm as well. So you don't have to rush." I bend over and kiss her forehead in an attempt to satisfy her.
"Uu~ Fine. If you don't mind them being small, then I want to sleep with you. I grew already more appropriately to my age." Marianne looks at me again.
"... You learned from Annie well. Drink the milk for a month more and you will probably be looking like a 16 year old. Put it off until then, please." I start to massage my temples.
"Deal! No backsies!" Marianne rushes off with Annie like they just had a victory against me.
"So daddy's only weakness is kids, huh? They can use your good will to their advantage~" Robin chuckles seeing me experiencing a headache.
"No comment." I answer simply before sending some thoughts to my summons.
'Tashigi, are you and Smoker free?' Lynx
'Huh? Yea. We are just patrolling the now developing cities besides the sea.' Tashigi answers.
'Good, I will open a portal near you. Tell Smoker to squeeze through as smoke and I will summon you after.' Lynx
'Alright. But what is going on?' Tashigi is curious.
'I will explain everything when I summon everybody important.' Lynx
"Hey Annie! Go maintain Crickets portal. I am not used to having more open yet." I yell towards the distant Annie and Marianne that go closer to the other group.
Opening the portal smoke starts to ooze out and form the figure of Smoker. He looks at me annoyed.
"So which was the poor bastard this time? There is no reason for you to borrow my baton when you have haki." Smoker chews on his cigars in annoyance.
"Someone with a god complex that ate the rumble-rumble fruit. It's already taken care of and I got another powerup." I grin at him as I show him my hand and turn into lightning.
"... You are becoming more bullshit by the second. Just give me my baton back. It literally makes everyone behave just by showing it to them. Even if they don't know what you used it for." Smoker sighs.
"Here." I give him the baton back and summon Tashigi.
Smoker grabs the baton and immediately feels something off. He tries holding by the handle, at the base and at the 'cursed marks' as he calls them.
"What did you do to it? It's vibrating while also releasing heat. The handle is alright but it is actually painful by just holding it on the place with the 'curse marks'." Smoker gives me a weird look.
"Hm? Let me see. Ah! I lended the baton to Annie at one point so maybe it absorbed some fire attribute? The vibrations though… Maybe when I shot the god complex guy with the bow into the giant golden bell?" I start to think about it.
"So, now the baton has attributes beside the seastone?" Tashigi frowns as this weapon is turning outrageous because of the actions I do with it.
"Well, we can look into it with Durin and Heph. They know better."
I send the thoughts to warn my other summons to be ready for the summoning. After a minute I repeatedly pull at the air, summoning Vivi, Heph and Durin.
