Amande & The Invasion Approaches

With everything happening I needed to take a breather after school again and get away from it all just to not think about it, so I returned to the world of One Piece and was relaxing within my mansion in Toto Land.

Currently time wise it was about 31 years before the beginning of the original cannon of the story and about 11 years before Roger's execution.

And while I didn't go out of my way to save people like I originally planned to do so, Archer or rather James has been going out of his way to save people in this world from their fates after he recieved a high detailed explanation about this world from its manga himself.

It's also why my supply of SP has been increasing large amounts overtime, but right now I was just sitting on my rather comfortable couch with a newspaper over my eyes as I just wanted to stop thinking about everything that was going on.

Chess soldiers protected my manor, pawns went around cleaning the place, rooks and knights for actual guards, bishops as butlers and queens as maids so they did all the work to let me relax and take it easy.

"Sir, Queen Charlotte and her daughter Amande have come to visit." A bishop butler said as he came into the lounge I was relaxing in.

"Let them in." I waved him off while I kept the paper to my face as I felt another headache coming on.

Not long after the doors to the lounge opened up with a boisterous laugh, "Mama Mama! Hifumi! It's good to see you again! It's been a few years since your last visit." After all it's been roughly four years for them since I was here.

"LinLin, it's nice to see you again, and Amande…. You've grown up." I had to pause momentarily as Amande herself had hit her growth spurt and was now standing 10ft tall with her elongated neck of hers, but besides her neck and large height she was a rather beautiful young woman.

She didn't say anything but she turned her face away and blushed after seeing me look at her, 'I feel like I already know whats about to happen' thinking this I raise my hand, "Before we start talking, please take a seat you two." I motion to them both as they sit down in some rather large chairs meant for their size.

Then they shrunk down to around my height and size though that was relatively speaking as while I'm 6ft tall, Amande was around 7ft and her mother went down to around 10ft, both still much taller than me but that wasn't an issue.

"Oh my, that's a rather convenient thing you have Hifumi! Say are you willing to sell that device to me? As much as I enjoy my rather larger than life size, sometimes it would be easier if I shrunk down a bit too." LinLin said as while she had the gigantification Ray I gave her long ago and having gained the interest of the MADS Team who learned about the devices existence helped her make a new and improved version.

That one being she can set how large specifically she wanted herself or her children to be, though they couldn't make a replication of my Mk.2 that made me take on the height of an actual mountain in size but she could make herself big enough that she could obliterate smaller islands with only a few punches or just a single swing from her sword.

"Sure, but it's not gonna be free this time, just ask Archer for the details in my shop, but let's get back to why you brought Amande, I can guess why but I want to hear you say it yourself." I said to LinLin as I leaned back on my couch as I looked at the both of them.

"Mama, well I always knew you were the smart type Hifumi, so I will give it to you straight, I want you to marry my daughter Amande who has also agreed to the desire to marry you as well." She said without beating around the bush.

I couldn't help but sigh at that a bit, "I don't have anything against it but I'm currently in a relationship with multiple women, two of which you have met personally, those two being Briar and Rebecca." I told her to which LinLin nodded.

"Oh I know them, after all you let them join my crew and I must say I like their style of doing things, the presence of those two has brought deep fear to the navy at the sight of my fleet, with their power of Armament Haki at hand I've already made them both some of my most highest ranking officers a non-family member could take, I've also been thinking of letting Briar become the Minister of Meat on the Island I like to call MeatLand, but anyway I've already known for awhile that you were likely in multiple relationships and I guessed you had a thing for those two fire starters, Amande knows this as well and she doesn't mind." LinLin said explaining something's as my head was hurting.

'I can't outright reject LinLin's request, she has been a major help in this world as now I have a store in every major island in the GrandLine and Four Blues and I don't have anything against Amande but if suddenly a bunch of women all suddenly want to get married to me all at once I won't need to worry about just Esdeath but Saki and Mikan will want my head….' I couldn't help but shudder at the powers they had gotten, especially Mikan's, as I am now if she had full control over it she could kill me enough times to use up all my extra lives and even permanently kill me at that.

"Alright while I have nothing against it I can't say yes, problem is my fiancée's aren't exactly happy with getting more lovers to my side, Amande will have to prove herself before my third fiancée, and mind you she is much more ruthless than anything either Briar or Rebecca could hope or dream of doing, so I'm going to have her look after you and if she thinks you have what it takes she will help you become stronger than ever before, after all she is the only wife of mine who has achieved advanced mastery of both Armament and Observation Haki as well as Advanced Conquerors Haki, the only thing I can promise is that she won't kill you, how much pain your willing to go through with her and how determined you are will say if your accepted by them." I went onto explain to her to which she only nodded.

"I will do what needs to be done." She says to which I nod and stand up.

"Then you will be coming with me to the Moon to meet her, and LinLin, what she learns there is for her to know alone, sometime I will bring you there but that won't be for a long time, but I do promise to bring you there to see the sights." I say to LinLin who looks upset for a moment before smiling at the last part.

"Mama Mama! Then we have a deal Hifumi, and please do take care of my daughter when you are away, but I won't take up more of your time." She said before getting up and heading out leaving me and Amande alone.

"Before we go I'm going to have to alter your body a bit, people of the snake neck tribe don't exist where we are going, not only that but most of the people that live there aren't as tall as the people that live down here, so do I have your permission to change your body to be more fitting for where we are going?" I ask her to which she nodded.

"I already consider you to be my husband, if you say I need to change my look to appear normal up there then I will do it." She says giving her approval to change her.

Luckily from Solomon's Knowledge there's an easy way to modify how one looks that isnt yourself so long as the person is willing to do so, I did this with Saiki awhile back after all though that was more my title of Ultimate Disguiser at play than what I was about.

Soon enough a magic circle surrounded her, confusing her and making her instinctively grab at her huge sword before she felt it suffuse through her skin.

Soon enough her neck became shorter and her height was shortened even further making her stand at 6ft tall, just as tall as I was, and not only that her huge oversized sword shrank down to compensate for her smaller size, besides her clothes that's all that changed about her.

"Alright, all done, now then." I snap my fingers and a door appears before us, "Let me go show you my world." I say before proceeding to open the door and lead her through.

Soon enough we were in my living room back in my world, but as soon as I came back Esdeath appeared with the use of a teleportation device I gave her to make it easy to return home.

Seeing Amande, Esdeath didn't look to happy but shook her head, "I will deal with this later, for now got to that Shrine in Kamoe City, your friends are in danger." Hearing that made me frown before turning to Amande.

"Stay here, Esdeath when I come back I will explain what's going on, just don't get into a fight alright?" I say before vanishing in front of them both entirely.

Soon enough I came upon the Shrine to which I quickly entered, soon enough I came across a Crabman(?) before I saw everyone from Okura's group laying on the ground bloodied and bruised.

"What the fuck happened here?"
