Enjoying the Fire Festival Once Again Pt. 1

After that business was settled I let Honey Queen get to know the island and the rest of my crew, even though she wants to be something more with me, which I'm ok with, she is considered a guest here on my island for the time being just so she can get to know everyone else.

But now currently I need to prepare for the next up incoming fire festival after all, though I alone am invited, though I could bring my crew, everyone is busy off doing there own things for the time being so it just going to be me when I go there.

Though this time all three of the beast pirates, Maria, Ulti and Page One are going, I was unable to convince Yamato though, she still hates the idea of going, but instead wanted to go to Wano proper.

You see…. I kinda forgot to mention to her that I had saved some of the Kouzuki Family, both Toki and Hiyori as well as a few of there retainers as well, which both made her excited and mad at me for not telling her sooner.

So I personally brought her to Kibi where she got to meet both the daughter and Widow of Kozuki Oden, the man who, besides me, is an idol in her eyes, but I had to introduce her to them so she wouldn't say something confusing.

"Toki, Hiyori, this is Yamato, and she believes herself to be the successor of Oden's Will." This confused them both but right after Yamato kneeled on her knees before bowing her head to the both of them.

"I am honored to finally meet the family of the man who I look up to, I am in your care…. And I would like to ask you more about Oden-sama and the life he had lived Mistress Toki." She says before bowing to her once again.

Though this does make Toki happy before she stands up and proceeds to help both her daughter and Yamato up, "Then I guess we should have a longer chat over some tea shall we?" Toki says happily as she takes them away to talk about the exploits of her late husband to both Hiyori and Yamato.

But while they enjoyed each other's company it was time that I went off and spent the next few days on Onigashima, the Fire Festival only goes on for a day sure but the party ultimately goes on longer than that to around 3 to 5 days, and I was gonna enjoy myself there, but also I was planning on hosting a contest for the Waiters both men and womens contest as well as for the Gifters as well.

The prize being Artificial Ancient Zoan fruits, for the men tournament the winner of the waiters will receive a DireWolf Artificial Ancient Zoan, and for the Mens Gifters would be a DireBear, as for the womens waiters contest would be a Raptor model, and for the Women Gifters it would be a Titanoboa.

Now your probably asking why I would give the Gifters devil fruits if they already have devil fruits of there own, well you see I had a thought one day, I can interchangeably switch out the devil fruit that I currently have and use them at anytime and when I no longer want to used there powers I take them out of my body and back into the system, so then I had a question to ask the system.

*Is it possible for me to remove other peoples devil fruits if they are willing to give them up?*

System- Yes, if said devil fruit user has given the host there permission, host can remove a persons devil fruit from there bodies, but this is very painful for the devil fruit user because it's as if there having a piece of there being pulled out of them, but after an hour or so the pain will fade away, also for artificial Devil Fruits the host can modify them to make them more similar to normal Zoans where they will still look human but can change into there animal form at will just like regular Zoans.

"Good I can do that which opens up the field to make even more people have devil fruit powers…" thinking about that I just grin evilly.

"And in time I'll make that crew of beasts into my own on the day I'm strong enough to finish him off…."

But for now will enjoy ourselves at the the festival, and I'll really enjoy myself with all the beast women there.

So with that I went over from Wano to Onigashima personally to go and enjoy the party, and by the time I got there the party had just started with Queen pumping up the jams like usually does with every party here.

But before I could enjoy myself it was time to meet Orochi and Kaido to talk business.

..

.

"… So your telling me you have a way of removing peoples devil fruits without killing them?" Kaido says rather skeptically of my statement.

"Yes I can, but only if the other person is willing, if they don't then I can't do anything about it."

"And that you can make the artificial devil fruits more similar to normal Zoans by making them be able to transform at will as well?" Orochi said also in surprise at what I can do.

"Yes but it falls under the same rule as the previous part and that they need to be ok with it, also it's very painful process for the user to go through as well."

"Well this is great…. Now what is your price to do this to my men?" Kaido says after he drinks some more of his sake.

"Well, you have a lot of men and women under your banner, you say somewhere around 20,000 and we both know that I'm a rather busy man with many other businesses to deal with, plus I'm not here for very long and I don't come here often, and I really don't want to waste the whole entire festival doing this so your going to really need to make it worth my while…." I say before drinking from my own personal gourd.

Orochi doesn't have anything to really say as most of his men don't have devil fruits or have eaten defective smile devil fruits so there is no reason to ask me to help him, but now he's thinking about bolstering his men and if things don't work out he can pay Eagle whatever he wants to fix it if need be.

As for Kaido he had to really think about what he can pay and other things he can offer up to me to make me do this.

"…. 50,000 berries a head, and with roughly 20,000 that's a billion right there, so do we have a deal?" Kaido says stating his offer of 1 billion to do this for him.

"Will that price stay the same if more of your crew eat defective ones?"

"Yes, if my crew get defective ones again I'll pay you the same price as before."

"Well then we have a deal Kaido, though I'm still gonna enjoy myself at this party of yours, I'll help your people out, and will have that competition start soon as well." I say as I change to Kaido's height and shake his hand sealing the deal before heading back out to enjoy the party while they keep talking about other things.

Side Quest: Your Crew is My Crew Start!

Objectives: help the beast pirates who have eaten artificial devil fruits to either lose or control there devil fruits better to make them similar to normal Zoans.

Rewards: Admiration of the Beast Pirates from Shinuchi rank and downwards this will make them more likely to betray Kaido when you decide to betray him, Love of the Beast Pirates (Female) the women of the beast pirates will definitely betray Kaido when the time comes where as the men might only betray Kaido at the time.

I just grin at seeing that before changing back to my now normal height of 15ft tall as I'm slowly getting my body used to these new heights of mine.

Soon after I appeared at the main party and went on stage just as Queen had finished up his song, with him seeing me he just smiled before grabbing his mic.

"Now look who we have here folks! Looks Like our Guest here has something to say to us, well Eagle I think it's time we tell them about the big surprise!" He says before tossing the mic to me.

I just grin as I catch it before turning to the rest of the crowd, "Beasts! Are you guys having fun tonight!"

"YEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!!!" They all shout as they were all genuinely enjoying themselves at this party.

"Great! Then I got some good news for you guys! We have finally made amazing progress on making Artificial Ancient Zoans, and I have 4 here that will be given to the 4 winners of this up in coming competition! And don't worry these ones have a 95% chance of working and giving you there powers, and they are, the Direwolf, the Direbear, the Raptor, and the Titanoboa." I say putting them out for all to see.

These ones looked similar to actual devil fruits, the Direwolf one looked like black fruit that's texture is smooth with some very small fine hairs on it, same could be said for the Direbear one accept it's brown, the raptor looked like a fruit with reddish blue scales while the Titanoboa was green scaled instead, though they all still had there orange spots on them signifying they were artificial just like the normal artificial Zoans.

"OOOOOHHHHHHHH!!!!!" The crowd shouted excitedly especially the waiters since they still hadn't gotten there devil fruits yet.

"There will be two competitions for the guys and 2 for the ladies, with two winners being men and two being women to make things fair, but I have 2 more announcements to make!" I shouted to the crowd who were rubbing in excitement.

"I have to ask the Pleasures of the crowd, those unlucky few who ate a devil fruit but it was a failure, do you wish you had a 2nd chance at getting a working artificial Zoan?" When I ask that question I could see the pleasures smiling and nodding there heads, although they can't show anything but happy smiles on there faces I could still see in there eyes both confusion and hope.

"Alright then, so who wants to be the first to get a 2nd chance then?" I say and I see arms raise and a lot of people even jumping up in the air trying to get me to pick them, so I decide to point at the most enthusiastic guy I could see from the crowd.

"You! Red hair! Come on up!" I say and that guy jumps in excitement and the rest looked happy for him, I could see the look in there eyes they were pissed that he was chosen.

He then came up and came before me, "Now I'm gonna ask you this, do you wish to change your fate and get a 2nd chance?"

"Yes! I would be insanely happy if I could have another chance!" He says excited like.

I then place my arm on his shoulder before kneeling in front of him, "Then I have to ask you, will you let me take away your defective devil fruit? I can only do this if your fine with this, but I should mention this will hurt to do, but once done you will no longer be a pleasure." Then I think to myself, *Maybe I should slowly do this to the people of Wano so I'm more liked and more will stand by my cause when the time is right…*

Though he pauses for a moment before he looks back up at me with a determined look in his eye with a wide smile on his face, "What is pain when I get a 2nd chance?! Sir Eagle! No! Aniki! Please change my fate!"

I just smile a bit at him calling me Aniki, "Very well, then brace yourself!" I say as I place my hand on his chest before slowly making a grabbing motion with my hand as something starts to be pulled out from his chest.

I can see him grit his teeth hard as he grunts in pain until final I pull something out of him and he falls to the ground and soon enough the horns on his head fall off and hit the ground as the defective devil fruit appears in my hand before I burn it up in my hands.

Everyone, including queen who pulled off his goggles to get a look couldn't believe what they just saw.

"And it's not just him who I will give this 2nd chance to, but thanks to your boss Kaido paying me to do this, I'm giving every single beast pirate who has eaten an artificial devil fruit a 2nd chance, whether you want your fruit taken out like I have done for him and the rest of the pleasures I will, and for the Gifters I will help your devil fruits truly become just like normal Zoans or remove them altogether if that is what you wish!"

"OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" "EAGLE!"

"EAGLE!" "EAGLE!" They said as they all cheered and shouted my name.

*System is there anyway to make this process faster?*

System- Calculating, Gifters will have to be don on an individual basis unfortunately but as for the ones called the Pleasures they all basically have the same devil fruits so you can do every single one of them at once, just make them grab there chests while you hold your hand up in the air, I will connect your hand through invisible threads with there's so you can pull out all of there devil fruits simultaneously.

I just nod before I look back to the crowd, "Now I'm gonna do what I did with him to the rest of the pleasures right now! Pleasures place your hands on your chests and say, 'ANIKI EAGLE! PLEASE GIVE ME A 2ND CHANCE!'"

And they all copy the motion I did while I hold my hand up in the air, "ANIKI EAGLE! PLEASE GIVE ME A 2ND CHANCE!!!"

System- syncing hosts hands with every pleasures hand, beginning large extraction of devil fruits.

And on this day a miracle happened in Onigashima as every pleasure in the beast pirates grabbed at there chests as they slowly began to feel there devil fruits out of there bodies, it was very painful, but they would do anything at a 2nd chance like this so they all persevered and all roughly 10,000 Pleasures removed there defective devil fruits and returned to being waiters as there horns feel off there heads.

Even though they were all in pain they all began to cry tears of joy at this second chance they were given and that they could express emotions besides happiness and joy once again.

"And in a hour the contests for the male and female Waiters including the previous Pleasures being able to join this competition will begin!"

"OOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" They all shouted out in excitement for what was to come next.
