The Devil meets the Amazons

Today is the day I'm leaving and going to train for 6 years with Rayleigh. I still haven't figured out how to find the devil fruit so to convey my frustration I go out into the forest for an hour.

At this point, I'm running laps around the forest until I see Rayleigh leaning onto a tree "what are you doing here old man". I sit down underneath the tree Rayleigh is leaning on " well I wanted to see what wrong because since this morning you have looked like your somewhere else. At first I thought you were just sad at leaving but I know you better so what's wrong?".

Seeming as I'm having trouble with figuring out the devil fruits location it can't hurt asking rayleigh for help " there's something that I've kept from you and shakky, After returning from the slave auction house I went asleep but was awoken at the sound of someone calling my name but I realised I wasn't actually awake and still asleep. the voice told me I'm his descendant and that his name was Lucifer".

Soon as I mention the name Lucifer Rayleigh changes from his usual goofy demeanour to a serious one " when you say Lucifer do you mean the actual Devil Lucifer". I nod then go on to say that I awakened small amounts of his power when I fought the rear admiral but also that I signified to the Celestial Dragons and Im their leader to my existence which means they'll start hunting me down because I pose a threat to them and am a reminder of their past.

I wait for Rayleigh to say that it was just a dream and that I'm over exaggerating but he only nods " that would explain what I've seen over the years watching you grow up". I'm a little surprised at his total acceptance to my story " what do you mean the things you've seen over the years".

Rayleigh sits down next to me "Samael you have and can use all three forms of haki which usually is rare but for a ten year old it's unheard of. Then there's the aura that you give off at times it feels like death itself. I first noticed it when you were training before and I used observation haki out of curiosity where it looked like I was staring at a demon. I saw it again but on a bigger scale when you were fighting the rear admiral when you used the color if the supreme king haki for the first time I also saw a crimson red aura burst out that killed all plant life that it touched around you".

Seeming as believes me which I'm grateful for I go on to tell him about my second conversation with Lucifer where he talked about his past and his death. Then when he talks about his descendants and that I've given him hope again for revenge against the Celestial Dragons and Im. At first, he's happily listening to me but when I mention about his friend and former captain Gol D Roger's death he's filled with rage.

After talking for a while I also told him about the devil fruit made from Lucifer's power and the hint he gave me. Rayleigh just smiles " so that's what has been on your mind. Why don't you use the information you got from the slave auction". I look at him and just grunt "it's basically useless because it isn't confirmed to be true and even if it is the only clue we have is some island with a volcano".

Rayleigh just smiles in return " you got everything you need I swear kids these days are lazy gua ahahahaha. it has to be on a island where the marines have little presence because if they did they would've already sent a squad to confirm the location. With that in mind, the only island with a volcano and has little marines presence is an island called Rusukaina".

Before I can celebrate at the news Rayleigh holds out his finger to show he isn't finished " before you celebrate there's a problem. the island is located near Amazon Lily but the ruler is the pirate warlord Boa Hancock who is the empress. To get to the island we would need her permission because it's in her territory but she's known for her pure hatred of all men. Luckily for you she owes me a favour so we'll set sail for Amazon Lily later on".

With that our conversation ended are we sparred until he beat me silly but not as bad as last time. We head back home and have one last meal with Shakky who said we'll keep in contact with a transponder snail which is directly connected with hers. After a teary farewell I and Rayleigh set sail for Amazon Lily, along the way Rayleigh talks about Boa Hancock because it seems like he personally knows her like he met her when she escaped slavery and helped her return to her home along with lher sisters. He also mentioned that Amazon Lily has no males living on the island but instead all women who are trained and seasoned warriors.

After two days of travelling, we reached the border of Amazon Lily but before we could get closer we were greeted by a pirate ship with snakes pulling it along "Halt identify yourselves and state your purpose for intruding".

Rayleigh just casually responds " I'm here to see little Boa tell her I've come to collect a favour she owes me hahahah". When the Kuja pirates hear this they get enraged at Rayleigh " how dare you to disrespect our empress you shall pay for your insolence " their leader orders the crew to fire the cannons at us which only earns a wry smile from Rayleigh.

I know what he's thinking so I join in when the cannonballs are near us we grabbed them with our hands ( I had to coat my hand in haki) and returned them to the pirates and watched as they flew past the ship and hit the surface of the water causing an explosion.

Rayleigh smiles again " now that was fun but let us get down to business shall we. Call little Boa using the transponder snail and tell her old man Rayleigh is here hahahaha". the Kuja pirates get irritated again at Rayleigh for disrespecting their empress but they let it slide because they know they can't possibly beat Rayleigh. So they begrudgingly call Hancock "bururururu *click* what's the reason for this disturbance" a commanding female voice comes from the snail judging from the sweat forming on the Kuja pirates forehead it's Boa Hancock.

they decided to respond after stuttering " sorry for disturbing you an old man with white hair is here with a boy calling himself Rayleigh an-" before she can finish Hancock shouts "hand him the transponder snail".

when they hand Rayleigh the snail "hello little Boa I've come here to collect that favour you owe me gua hahaha". the transponder snail goes quiet for a few seconds before shaking violently " HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME BY THAT DEGRADING NICKNAME, YOU SENILE OLD MAN!". Me and Rayleigh just burst out laughing " good to see you haven't lost your spirit but I have come here for that favour so can we enter?".

There's silence for a moment "yes you may enter come to the palace old man". after that the call cuts off so with their empress permission they let us through and guide us to shore then from there we walk through the town.

On our way to the palace, massive crowds of different women who are all different sizes wearing leather armour gather around us constantly asking questions " what are they" , "are they women too" and finally " they look strange". after hearing boatloads of questions we finally reached the palace thanks to our armed escort keeping the crowds of women reaching me and Rayleigh.

We enter the palace and quickly rushed to the throne room to avoid causing any further disturbances. We reached giant red doors and when they open we see guards lining up at all sides of the room. Finally our gaze reaches the throne where 2 giant women are standing by the throne along with a small elderly woman who's holding a snake as a cane.

Then finally we see a 23 year old with black hair that reaches past her waist who's wearing a purple blouse, a sarong to show off her slender legs. "so why are you here Rayleigh".

This beauty must be the empress Boa Hancock.
