Chapter 358 - Removing the slave mark.

Chapter Size: 1800 Words.]

Third Person POV

Sabaody.

...

...

The Calm Belt sea stirred suddenly, but it wasn't due to a Sea King prowling these waters. Instead, ships with considerable military force sliced through the waters, passing all the islands in this sea, heading towards a single destination.

There were 20 navy warships, with 10 vice admirals and one admiral, all loaded to explode the island of women and destroy Boa Hancock, the Shichibukai who had turned against the navy.

"..." Akainu stared with fierce eyes at the horizon, eagerly waiting to act against the traitors who had brought dishonor to the navy.

Seconds turned into minutes, and then an hour passed; he grew frustrated as nothing appeared on the horizon where an island should have been emerging. "Where is Amazon Lily?!" He growled to himself.

"Admiral Akainu!!" Some sailors approached at that moment with cautious looks.

"What's wrong?! Why isn't the island appearing, did we take a wrong route?! I swear whoever did this will pay dearly!" Akainu exclaimed angrily.

"It's not that... we're on the right path... but..." The man seemed hesitant and lost. "We reviewed the route and the navy's maps for the region... the island should have appeared by now... in fact, we passed where it should have been more than an hour ago!" He said.

"What do you mean?!" Akainu growled.

"The island... disappeared!" He declared, leaving Akainu stunned as the ships were almost entering the East Blue through the Calm Belt.

Meanwhile, a huge island traveled through the sky, above the clouds, continuing to fly over paradise after leaving the Calm Belt unnoticed, only occasionally casting a massive shadow over some islands, with anyone witnessing it assuming it was just a cloud.

On this island, which was indeed Amazon Lily, dozens of women looked from the edge of the island as they gazed at the clouds around them, excitedly exclaiming at the unique view in their lives while traveling over 10,000 meters in the air.

Luffy's crew was all present on the island along with his friends and allies, leaving all the ships stationary in the middle of the island, while a huge festival began with all the island's women welcoming the Straw Hats in a grand feast.

As night fell with Bepo still steering the island towards Skypiea, Luffy struggled to please so many wives gathered, especially Hancock who wanted to spend hours in the act with Luffy, without anyone interrupting, but even with her dissatisfaction, she shared the bed with other women, staying for at least 2 days behind closed doors until Luffy seemed to emerge tired at the end, leaving the room alone.

"Don't you ever settle down, boy?! What kind of life is this? Don't you even go out to eat?!" Gloriosa exclaimed as soon as she saw Luffy leaving the women sleeping.

"Do you think just some women can bring me down?!" Luffy challenged her, but he looked at her with dark circles under his eyes.

"You're clearly tired!!" She grimaced.

"Hahahaha. Don't be like that, now tell me what's been happening these 2 days?" Luffy asked laughing.

"Well... your crew is scattered across the island, but Amazon Lily is turning into chaos!" She exclaimed, shaking her staff. "First, your sister is depleting the island's food supply!" She began. "Then that swordsman of yours got lost and cut down a mountain to find the city again! What kind of person needs to cut a mountain to get back to the city!"

"Well... Zoro is predictable in that regard..." Luffy commented, holding back laughter.

"There's also a lunatic claiming he's a god! Now the women of this island are wondering if men are gods!" She exclaimed unsatisfied.

"Enel. Another predictable one." Luffy murmured.

"There's also an extremely angry girl on this island, she's turning everyone into children while asking for Pizza, something we don't have on the island!" She spoke, and Luffy immediately knew.

"She's mad because we beat up her dad..." Luffy shrugged it off.

"As for the others, they're doing strange things... but nothing as noticeable as these first three..." Gloriosa said at the end a bit more calmly.

"I see... anyway, I promised something, you can call Hancock's sisters, we'll start removing her brand." Luffy requested and the door behind him immediately opened with Hancock looking at him with shining eyes.

"Really, my love!" she exclaimed, jumping on Luffy, while he just let her hug him tightly without resisting.

"A smitten empress..." Gloriosa murmured and went to call the other two sisters.

A moment later she arrived while they looked nervously at Luffy being embraced by Hancock. Luffy looked at them and pulled Hancock away from his side. "Now that you're here, prepare a special room where we can be alone. I'm going to fetch two people." Luffy declared and went back to the room.

"Hey, what are you doing?!" a female voice was heard.

"Just put this on, we have something to do." Luffy spoke.

"Hey, I thought you liked seeing me naked!"

"I do appreciate you two naked, believe me, but I need you out there, put on this dress." Luffy declared as he opened the doors, taking two women by the waist as they came out tired from the room.

Luffy followed the Boa sisters, and they went to a special room, where Luffy gave instructions to Lami and Reiju. "As you can see, they have a mark on their backs. Lami will be in charge of cutting their skin to remove the ink and Reiju will regenerate it with the phoenix flames." Luffy spoke, while the two women, still sleepy, nodded at the end.

"Don't interfere, you hear?"

"Do your job and I'll do mine, got it?!" Both started to argue quickly.

"Are we going to be okay?" Marigold murmured fearfully.

"Of course you will, just..." Luffy said before slapping each on the head, "Stop fighting and help these sisters!" Luffy exclaimed.

They finally stopped while even Boa Sandersonia watched cautiously, but Hancock didn't care as she continued to gaze at Luffy.

"I'm going to leave now. You can start." Luffy said and left the room as he began to wander through the castle, pausing at a painting of Lily.

"She's a copy of Vivi..." Luffy murmured.

"She's not..." Gloriosa approached.

"Yeah... I learned a bit about her life in the lost century from a poneglyph in Alabasta..." Luffy murmured.

"But there are still doubts about her, aren't there?" Gloriosa couldn't help noticing that in Luffy's look.

"Yes... there are things I still don't understand... important things..." He admitted.

'Why didn't Im tear up Vivi's poster like he did with Luffy, Blackbeard, and Shirahoshi...? Why did he keep it, he has a painting just like this one, what's his relationship with Lily and is he interested or planning something for my Vivi...? I'll kill him.' Luffy debated internally while still looking at Lily and what her real motive was for spreading the poneglyphs around the world, why not accept going to Merry Geoise and what interest Im had behind it all, there were so many secrets, but he would uncover them by the end of his journey and knew he was destined to fight against Im.

His thoughts were interrupted when a sound of thunder emerged at one of the windows and Luffy sighed, wondering what this guy wanted now, after all, he was there to talk to him.

"I'm going to see what Enel wants." Luffy told Gloriosa, while she waited for Luffy's two crew members to remove the slave mark from the sisters.

"Tell me, Enel..." Luffy stepped out onto the balcony with the former god of Skypeia sitting there looking at him with a calm expression.

"I'm leaving." He spoke.

"You're leaving?" Luffy looked at him a bit confused.

"You will return to Skypea, and train everyone, but I don't want to be a part of that... I'm going to do my own training." He spoke seriously.

"What are your plans?" Luffy asked, although surprised, he wasn't upset, after all, Enel's presence would cause discord with the former inhabitants of the sky kingdom, although it could also be good training for everyone.

"I'm going to the moon." He declared.

"Hm... well, I see nothing wrong with that, as long as you don't come back weak from this trip..." Luffy spoke.

"I will be so strong that I could defeat you, Demon. Then I will become a god." Enel said confidently and mockingly, but Luffy didn't mind.

"I hope so, after all even in this state, I can defeat you, I don't want weak people in what's about to happen in this world, not in my main crew." Luffy declared while Enel clicked his tongue.

"Do not underestimate me, my destiny is to become the god of this world and I will prove it to everyone by subjugating you," Enel said in his usual tone.

"You said you will spend a year in training, so I will leave in 1 year and fulfill my dream of going to the Moon," he spoke.

"Be that as it may, if you are leaving, we can't stay with the Tenryuubito while they will be detected by the vivre cards from Merry Geoise." Luffy said, after all, it was Enel who was blocking that.

"Those false gods...?" Enel scoffed.

"Take them with you, do whatever you want with them, it doesn't matter to me." Luffy said, indifferent to whatever suffering they might endure at Enel's hands.

"That sounds interesting, I can show the false gods what a true god is like..." Enel seemed pleased with the idea. "I'm going then." He declared and Luffy nodded.

Enel transformed into a bolt of lightning and went to Black Pearl, taking the prisoners with Hugo's help and went to his ark, beginning to place them in his vessel before starting to head towards the sky.

"Where is Enel going?" Nojiko approached at that moment next to Robin.

"He will have different plans for the next year, so let him be." Luffy spoke, returning inside again.

"We're done..." Reiju came out of the room with Lami at that moment.

"AHHHHHHH!!!!" A cry of joy erupted from the other side of the door, as the three sisters seemed overwhelmed by their disappearing brand, and it wasn't long before they came out and rushed to Luffy, embracing him.

"Thank you!!" They cried and shouted at the same time.

"I just made the suggestion; it was Lami and Reiju who did it...." Luffy murmured, being crushed.

This continued for a while until Luffy finally managed to calm them down, at least two of them, while Hancock continued to cling to him.

"Well... if we're here celebrating, let's have a big feast today!" Luffy declared as his other women also came out of the room, and they organized a grand feast at that moment for the rest of the day going into the next, with Amazon Lily not far from Skypiea as the islands began to appear at that moment.
