Alliance with the Kuja II

The negotiations continued with Primrose having a bit more understanding of what his intentions were, although she hadn't yet seen any of his creations the boy claimed himself as an engineer and he needed labourers, something she was more than willing to comply with. 

"The head engineer of the Kuja Tribe is a lady called Alemina... I'll introduce her to you and you both can talk to each other about your projects, the tribe's construction methods have been passed from generation to generation to her family".

"It would be my pleasure!".

"Also the Yuda's poison is highly durable and waterproof, the poisonous factor doesn't last long which makes it an extremely good material for building. Wouldn't that work?~ If you need to produce it in big quantities then that shouldn't be a problem for us, we can provide you with as much as you need. Of course, there will be labourers as well... they will be chosen to your liking and sent to Rusukaina~"

Primrose was more than happy with this deal, it definitely put them in a position in which they were needed by him.

"Then that's a deal, I'll be looking forward to it".

"Now, I believe this last condition shall determine if this deal goes through or not" Both Shawty and Gloriosa looked at Primrose with confusion, it seemed like they didn't have any further demands aside from protection and resources so what else could the Hebihime be interested in? If anything they needed to look at what else could they offer to him.

So far negotiations were wonderful and Veyron was quite expectant to know what else they wanted.

"You shall marry a member of the Kuja Tribe once you turn eighteen, we also expect you to conceive at least ten children within the tribe~".

!!!!

Hancock, Sandersonia and Marigold tightened their hug around him, seemingly intending to suffocate him while Veyron tried to process the outrageous request she put on the table. 

'T-Ten!?'

Leaving aside the marriage which he thought wouldn't be an issue, ten kids!?

"Hebihime..." Gloriosa rubbed her forehead in exasperation, 'I should have expected this, she's trying to secure him'.

It was obvious who the one to marry him would be, it would be any of those three beauties sitting with him. 

"Captain, isn't that a little..." Shawty blushed and gave the boy a sidelong glance, 'Sure he's charming, strong, cute... b-but he is still just a little boy!'.

"As you know our island is an island filled with women. Men are not allowed in our land under any circumstances, if there is to be an exception, it would probably be only you throughout history, Veyron. It is common for the strongest members of our tribe, the Kuja Pirates, to be allowed to reproduce outside and come back to give birth. Hence, reproduction with strong men is a very important topic for us" She licked her lips, sending shivers down Veyron's spine.

"That… you know I-I'm a kid so I can't-" At points like this it was useful to conceal beneath the 'kid' facade, but Primrose wasn't about to buy any of that. 

"Yet~".

In his head, he desired to go on with this, but... There was also the silhouette of that gorgeous lady to whom his heart already belonged. If 'she' had heard Primrose's request, everyone's head here would already be rolling.

He knew Mihawk would never allow this if she was here. 

"In exchange for this, you will be allowed to enter Amazon Lily to your heart's content. You will have your own private quarters in the palace as well, next to my daughters'. You're free to do as you please until you turn eighteen. By then I'll personally ask you who is the lady from the tribe you wish to marry. I'm afraid if this condition is not met, we can't seal the deal, sweetie" Primrose shrugged her shoulders evading his gaze; she sent the boy a sidelong glance, just in time for her glance to be met by Hancock whose eyes were like stars, She could already see herself as the chosen one.

"You're being a little unreasonable," He remarked, having no choice but to accept this deal which was not a problem in itself, the problem was how to break this up with his mother without getting beheaded in the process. 

"That's why I said when you become an adult~ for now you can go ahead and get spoiled by everyone on the island" Primrose crossed her arms, and the three ladies waited for her decision.

Gloriosa's exasperation reached the roof; she was aware that this was the Hebihime's selfish wish. Whether it was for her daughters' sake, or her own sake, she didn't know. But in the end, Amazon Lily would benefit from having the children of such a powerful boy. If he was already this powerful at such an age, she didn't even want to imagine what he would become in the future once he turned eighteen. 

Amazon Lily's prosperity was more than assured, 'No wonder the Poisonous Mother appeared at this junction, good times are coming for us indeed'.

"..."

Veyron had to think about this deeply before accepting, there were feelings in play. He loved Mihawk with madness and if she was here, she wouldn't accept it. Then he thought about the three beauties next to him, he had grown attached to them, especially Hancock who was without a doubt his favourite female character in the series.

But then there was the other clause which troubled him the most, ten children. Even in his previous life he never had children, the closest he ever did was hold one in his hands after some of his colleagues in Boeing gave birth and invited him over, but that was it. 

'I have never even contemplated being a father, and she's asking me that I must have at least ten kids, with any women of my choosing, this sort of fantasy wouldn't be possible on earth'.

"It is alright, Veyron. When the time comes, just choose me~" Hancock whispered in his ears with that sweet yet shy voice of hers, this was a confession!

"That's not fair big sis! You can't push him to decide now!" Marigold complained that Hancock was taking things too far. Sandersonia too thought they needed to spend more time with him in order for him to choose who he really loved more. Although the three sisters could guess who was his favourite, it was difficult to tell since he treated the three of them the same way all the time.

There was not even a shred of doubt in their heads that the one chosen would be one of the three. In their own arrogance, they failed to see their mother's giggle.

The black-haired snake beauty smiled broadly and hugged him like her bear, it didn't matter what he said, the message was delivered and Veyron gulped, aware of her feelings.

'Sorry, Luffy... but I'm taking her' He sighed, this would no doubt change the story again more than it had already been changed.

"I accept, but this is just between you and me, Please don't tell my mother ahead of time, I'll tell her myself and also I hope you give me more time with the children issue, even eighteen years is not enough for me so... I promise I'll do it just give me the freedom to decide when the time is right".

"Oh? Very well, that is fair." Primrose wondered why he wouldn't want her to know such an important detail, 'Maybe his mother is overprotective?'

He knew Primrose and Mihawk would meet eventually, the dilemma lay in how would those two behave with each other, 'As long as they're friendly... but the world 'friendly' and my mom don't go together, ugh'.

...

Primrose grabbed her cup and walked all the way to the other side of the table where he was, sitting next to him and her daughters. Their cups touched and they donned the whole content of booze, effectively becoming 'family'.

After the formalities were done, Primrose took Veyron by his wrist and led him to the balcony of the palace, downstairs a crowd of ladies were reunited and expectant on what was decided in this important meeting. 

Primrose spread her arms widely in happiness. 

"This has to be celebrated~ we should make a big banquet here in the palace to welcome our daughters and also, the new empe-*cough!* POWERFUL ALLY OF AMAZON LILY, DRACULE VEYRON!".

"YES!"

Everyone clamoured, arrows shot to the skies, the hissing of snakes became the rule while Veyron glanced at the waving Primrose with shivering eyebrows. 

"You were about to say Emperor".

"I don't know what you're talking about~".
