Chapter 7 Drums of War

'So I wanted to emulate Dr. Vegapunk my role model of the one piece scientific community. Built a robot that uses the principles of a strong devil fruit, create a peace keeping terminator army, destroy all opposition, (sips coffee) aaah for the greater good.'

'Robots uphold justice, justice creates peace, peace allows children to be safe. It's all for the children really, I have no selfish motivations whatsoever. Pity I cant replicate the effects of the baku baku no mi in the robots as yet, I would have an army that could devour an entire island if someone crossed me.....anything that is good for me helps in the greater good' thought Calvin to himself.

Calvin had set the dice rolling and set his plans into motion. He would be one of the greatest in the world, he was determined to b e counted among the greatest in the world. Right up there with Dracule Mihawk the Greatest swordsman in the world, Shanks the youngest Yonko of his time, Fisher Tiger the arsonist of Mariejois, Monkey D. Garp the Hero of the marines, Silvers Rayleigh the dark king and last but not least Gol D Roger the Pirate king.

What did these great men all have in common you ask? Not one of them ate a Devil fruit! Which is why he also did not plan to eat a devil fruit personally, he promised himself that if he ever found himself in the world of one piece he would take the path less walked.

Don't get me wrong devil fruits were a wonderous and amazing power system, in many ways they were great but he had always disliked the name(devil fruit). Also how you gonna live in a world over 90% ocean, and get instant killed by taking a dip in the sea! Like c'mon bruh!!!!

Add on the fact that devil fruits are basically parasites, some having their own bloody intelligence and will that influences your personality subconsciously! I think I will take my chances working around them without necessarily personally using one. On another note he would soon begin experiments on the viability of having robots eat devil fruits.

They were inanimate objects and weapons in their own right, they should be able to eat a devil fruit. Think about it they have programming that beats the intelligence of an animal any day, and so why not give an intelligent weapon a zoan to multiply the benefits!

Also there were plans of breaking the norm of every instance of a weapon eating a devil fruit being a Zoan! What could a robot with infinitely better mental calculating speed and reflexes do with the pika pika no mi of Kizaru ? Could you imagine what a satelite floating in space could do with the pika pika no mi ? Sniping your opponents from space like a God raining down punishment!!!! "Muahahahahahaha!!!!"

Bam! A kick behind the back had Calvin wake up from his day dreams of future experiments. The kick was from no other than Dr. Kureha who was behind him, with her super human strength it actually moved him. He nearly fell off the white walkie ( wooly hippos of drum Island) face first into the snow, he autocorrected his posture before sitting back down . Calvin, Kureha and a few of the soldiers were out on a hunting trip before setting sail. Kureha and Calvin were on the white walkie while the soldiers surrounded it on foot.

"Calvin stop laughing out loud for no reason! I am starting to doubt your sanity and I'm a doctor" whispered Dr. Kureha . "Is that a professional opinion? teased Calvin grinning from ear to ear. "Hmph, it's not me you have to worry about," said Kureha pointing at the soldiers who hurriedly pretended like they weren't eavesdropping.

"They are worse gossips than a fishmonger's wife at the market, it will spread faster than an avalanche in the Drum Rockies." sighed kureha with her youthful face. "Only because of my now youthful face could we convince them that all the sounds they heard was from a mystical medicine" whispered Kureha fiercely. "Why did you have to be so loud?" she added.

"Haha I was as quiet as a mouse, you were the one that made all the Racket Kureha oneesan" smirked Calvin. "I am a great doctor and great moaner as well, I can't help being excellent!" rebutted Kureha not wanting to be outdone.

"Hahaha, that you are, anyways you do have a point" said Calvin changing the subject. "You should have thought of that before you climbed behind me on my white walkie, instead of riding one of your own" mused Calvin. Turning her attention to the soldiers she said: The king has a rare flu that require skin to skin contact for several hours or he'll become extremely sick, you got that!?" The soldiers all avoided her gaze, pretending not to see their intimacy at all "Yes Doctor Kureha! . All the soldiers except Decimo who was staring doubtfully without fear! Looking at Decimo Calvin grinned and waved at him. Looking back perplexed, Decimo was just about to return the wave when (Bam!) he collided into a pine tree!

To add insult to injury all the snow on the tree fell on him, he now looked like an ill formed snow-man. "Muhahahaha! Pay attention to yourself and stop minding my business !" laughed Calvin in glee.

As they were talking and laughing several small figures darted behind the trees. Calvin's robotic eyes picked up the movement behind the pine trees. Even with the snow falling it was not enough to hide a thing from his eyesight. "Right on time I was starting to get tired of waiting, Soldiers ATTEN-HUT!" said Calvin.

The soldiers became serious and wary, glancing around their surroundings with their weapons ready. A small shadow darted from the trees and collided with a soldier's leg making him fall while it darted under the cover of other trees. Another small shadow darted from the trees hitting a soldier dead in the face, knocking him out, before continuing into the trees.

This happened again 3 more times, each time the soldiers felt more and more pressure. Not being able to see anything because it was so fast, the soldiers were trembling in fear. Two to three of them huddled together making a wall.

You guys can't even face this? How did you even keep the island under control? I guess they must've scared them away with large numbers. Taking some smooth pebbles out of his pocket that he prepared for this occasion, he lifted his hand and took aim in a millisecond. 'Shooop' was the sound the pebble made after it was launched from his finger, it travelled swiftly and slammed into one of the moving shadows.

It was a small reed eyed, sharp toothed snow bunny, known to the locals as a Laphan. He fired 3 more pebbles, as three more attacks started shortly after, and 3 more Laphans were hit while darting around in midair. They all fell down powerlessly. "You guys can't even take on a few baby Laphans?" asked Calvin slightly disappointed.

"My Lord there's a foot of snow, snow is falling and they are fully white to match the snow! Only a superhuman like yourself can see them under these circumstances and speed my lord!" replied Decimo who was one of the few left standing. "At least you remembered to flatter me, still doesn't change the fact that I am disappointed in you guys" said Calvin.

kreeaaa kreeeaaa kreeaaaa! The first laphan that was hit, started screaming for help. Kureha pulled out a scalpel ready to throw it, but Calvin gestured for her to stop. "You know that it's calling it's parents ?" questioned kureha with a frown.

"Yes yes indeed" said Calvin with a carefree grin. "And you know that they are quite large and travel in packs?" Kureha asked frowning. "Yup! they are what we are here for after all!" grinned Calvin.

In a few seconds they got what they were waiting on, the pack of giant rabbits that looked more like a pack of polar bears with red eyes arrived.

"You know that I am not all that meets the eyes?" asked Calvin as he jumped off the White Walkie casually. Walking through the snow his hands began to open up, piece by piece showing the futuristic machinery below the pseudo skin. Each finger opened up into multiple tubes and combined to form what looks like an vintage Gatling gun or a minigun nozzle on each hand. Needle thin spikes could be seen hiding within.

Pointing at the Pack of wild Laphans he fired his hand guns ( LOL LITERALLY), needles came flying out at the needles. At 100 rounds per second, the rapid fire lasted for only a second as the 25 Laphans were gunned down.

"All done!" said Calvin grinning cheekily. He might as well take advantage of the childish body he had to the best of it right ? "What are you?" said Kureha staring with her mouth open. "You want to know ?" asked Calvin with a mysterious smile?

Decimo and the guards who also had their jaws hanging open in shock nodded in unison. Slowly Kureha also nodded, she hadn't taken her eyes off Calvin since he transformed.

"I'm a holy creation, a being blessed by the heavens to take any form". declared Calvin solemnly. "So you're truly a god? I .....I had sex with a god.... A god made me cum?" whispered Kureha in a daze.

"Wait the endorphins and dopamine that flooded my brain clouded my judgement! you're just a devil fruit user, brat!" shouted kureha regaining her composure. "No no no, I am a divinely blessed being!" reiterated calvin. 'No way I am giving up my cover story that easily he thought to himself.

"Now with these divine hands I have taken the kingdom, and it shall be glorious!" "With a little magic I am going to turn you weakling into the ultimate soldiers!"

"Wake up kureha oneesan! You are gonna use this and create the first Laphan soldiers for the kingdom!" said Calvin with the baku baku no mi in his hand that was stretched in front of her.

"Decide if you really are coming with me now. If you take this, coming into intimate contact with divinity will be the least crazy thing you will do by far Choose"

stretching forward her hand she took the baku baku no mi. What happened afterwards won't be described, think of kureha as getting super head abilities lol.

They set off from Drum Island that same evening.
