Chapter 17

(I didn't write in detail about the wedding because I wanted to go ahead with the plot. I will write in detail later if you want me to.)

Tanzo returned to Amazon Lily with the incubator and as soon as he landed on the palace roof, he saw the arrangements Hancock made for their wedding. Tanzo was naked on the roof as he watched the grand decorations all over the island.

Tanzo felt the cold breeze hit his naked body and said "I have to do something about these clothes, or else I would be roaming around naked every time I grow in height."

This was true, usually devil fruit users don't have to worry about clothes since the devil fruit takes care of it, but since Tanzo shrinking down to human size is due to his own effort, it is not covered by the devil fruit powers.

Reiju seemed to have noticed Tanzo. She came flying to the roof and she had a bright smile on her face. Seeing the smile on her face, he was sure that it was the right decision to agree to marry them.

Reiju said "Tanzo, even I am horny, but I want to do this after our marriage as a celebration." rubbing his dick with her hand.

Tanzo smiled and kissed her before going inside the palace and wearing the wedding dress Hancock selected for him.

While Tanzo was ready in his wedding suit, Hancock and Reiju were in their white wedding dress. Tanzo was stunned to see them in the wedding dress.

Tanzo, Reiju and Hancock got married and the Boa sisters were very happy to see their sister happy. The whole island celebrated with them.

That night, Hancock and Reiju didn't sleep at all, mating throughout the night. They obviously didn't wake up the next morning and slept till noon.

They then woke up and were having lunch when Tanzo remembered something and asked Hancock "Hancock, if I remember correctly, there should be an island in the clam belt close to Amazon Lily called Rusukaina. Do you know how to get there?"

Hancock immediately choked on the food she was eating and asked "Why do you want to go there?"

Tanzo said "I want to improve my haki and the only way to improve it is through life threatening battles. That's why I want to go there and at least master the basic forms of haki. I am going to meet powerful people who can level many buildings with just a single punch."

Reiju immediately slammed her hand on the table and stood up. She said "I am against this. Tanzo, it's only been a week since you woke up after 6 months and you want to leave us alone again."

Tanzo looked at Reiju and he could feel the loneliness in her eyes. He then said "Ok, how about 6 months. I was planning on training there for a year, but I will go there after six months. The next six months, I will stay with you two. We have to continue our journey after one year."

'When I was still in the Navy, I heard that Ace formed the Spade pirates in the same year I was captured by Bunzio. Taking that as a reference, I think it should be around 2-3 years before Luffy starts his journey. Let's take two years. I need to start before him. I can't let him take down all my enemies.' Tanzo though.

Reiju thought about what Tanzo said and replied "Ok, you can leave after six months. You have to also promise me that you won't do anything reckless there."

"I promise" Tanzo said and they continued eating.

After eating, he asked Marigold to get him a small piece of the sea prism stone. She got him the handcuffs they put on him when they first captured him. Marigold said "I don't know if you know this, but sea prism stone is among the strongest material in the world. I don't think you will be able to get a piece of sea prism stone in the market. If you want, I can search it in the black market."

"Please do that. Thanks. Also, ask if they can make it a little bit fashionable." Tanzo said and he returned to his room. With the incubator now with him, he first needed to correct some imperfections in the incubator so that he doesn't end up getting failed products like his pink dragon.

Now, anyone who hears this would obviously say that Tanzo's devil fruit isn't a failure, but both Vegapunk and Tanzo would disagree.

Tanzo said in his head 'Vegapunk was right when he said my devil fruit was a failed product. He wasn't able to replicate the devil fruit. This is the cause of imperfect cell division. This is a natural phenomenon that no one can control, because no cell division can be perfect. The reason I consider it a failed product is because although cell division isn't perfect, the change in color is a major flaw. Another flaw is the inability to grow logia devil fruits. Vegapunk mentioned that it was difficult to even extract the lineage factor from logia user's dna. The solution to that is simple, haki.'

Tanzo then got to work and started opening the incubator. He didn't come out till lunch, so Reiju brought the food to his room and looked at him working on something with complete concentration. So, she just left the food in the room and left.

Tanzo didn't stop for lunch breaks as well. He continued working on it and finally, at the end of the day, he managed to modify the device. "Finally, it is ready." Tanzo said happily as he jumped from his chair.

Reiju, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, asked "What did you make?"

Tanzo asked in return "How long were you sitting there?"

"Long enough to get really bored. So, what did you make?" Reiju asked.

Tanzo replied "I managed to perfect what Vegapunk couldn't, replicate a devil fruit perfectly."

Reiju was confused. She asked "Didn't you say that except for the color of the devil fruit, everything is the same as Kaido's devil fruit? What more do you want to perfect in that?"

Tanzo smiled and said "I know what you are thinking. I will explain it, try to understand if you can. So now, the color change was due to the imperfections in cell division which caused change in traits. Now, even our cells undergo cell division everyday, but that doesn't mean you suddenly wake up one day with red hair or black skin. The imperfections are not that drastic to cause such a change. I however, managed to eliminate the chance of that variation."

Reiju obviously didn't understand all of it, but she still managed to understand the important bits. She asked "Did you do all that just to get the right color?"

Tanzo shook his head and said "You are missing the point here Reiju. What I did here is eliminate any chance of any changes. As of now, there was only a change in color. Another time, I might be replicating a leopard devil fruit and end up turning into a cat. What I did here is eliminate the chance of any errors like that. There is still a small chance of error, but it is close to 2%."

"It still went over my head, but I believe you did something great. Now, it's time for your reward." Reiju said, slowly spreading her legs. She didn't wear any underwear.

Tanzo slowly walked to her and said "If I get rewards like this, I will work hard everyday."

Reiju just chuckled and kissed him. It immediately escalated and they had sex. Hancock joined them after a while and it was the same as usual. They had sex till they got tired.

Tanzo woke up the next day and spent pretty much all his time mating with Reiju and Hancock. He did make sure to train everyday, but it was way less than the amount of time spent for mating.

This continued for almost a week. After that, Marigold got him the sea prism stone he asked for. It was just a small random stone attached to a string. (Imagine it being similar to the necklace Tsunade gave to Naruto, but with the color of a sandstone.)

Marigold asked Tanzo out of curiosity "What do you need it for?"

Tanzo replied "I need to get used to the sea prism stone and this is the perfect start. This should also help me increase my strength quickly."

Marigold left and Tanzo wore the necklace. He immediately felt all the energy escape his body. He felt weak, like he was starving for 2-3 days, but it wasn't too much like how weak he felt when he was first handcuffed by the sea prism stone when he got captured by Hancock.

Tanzo tried moving around, jumping and also tried to do pushups. His physical abilities were drastically reduced to that of a weak teenager.

Tanzo clenched his fist and said "Perfect. I should now get used to this and it should make me stronger."

The door to Tanzo's room opened and, Reiju and Hancock entered the room. Tanzo already knew what might happen, so he walked to Hancock and kissed her.

Reiju said "Tanzo, we have done nothing but have sex all the time. I want to do something else today."

Tanzo broke the kiss and looked at Hancock, who also agreed to what Reiju said. Tanzo thought for a while and asked "Do you want to go to Shabondy Archipelago again? We can fly there."

Reiju nodded and said to Hancock "You have to come to that place. We had lots of fun last time."

Hancock agreed and they got ready to head to Shabondy Archipelago. Tanzo summoned his fire clouds and wrapped them around Hancock and Reiju, allowing them to fly as well. Reiju could fly with her raid suit, but she didn't want to wear it.

They were flying in the sky and Hancock, who was flying for the first time, was enjoying the feeling. She flew around excitedly and, Tanzo and Reiju joined her after some time.

They flew towards the Shabondy Archipelago and while they were flying, they saw a weird ship flying in the sky. Reiju asked "Tanzo, are there flying ships?"

"No, there is only one flying ship as of now, but it won't fly for long." Tanzo said as he glared at the ship.

It was similar to a hot air balloon, with a red balloon thing on top and the ship tied to it. It is the headquarters of the newspaper company.

Reiju asked "Why do you want to kill them?"

Tanzo replied "They are the ones who published all that rumours about me and drove my mom and sister to their death."

"Then, they deserve to rot in hell. Come on, let's go kill them." Hancock said.

Reiju stopped her and said "Stop encouraging him Hancock. And you, stop blaming everyone for your parents death. I feel your pain, but you have to let go of the past. Revenge is something that only brings destruction to everyone."

"Reiju, I am not a fool to go around blaming everyone. The newspaper company also has a lot of people collecting information for them. They will even get to know what is happening on Mary Geoise. They know what happened to me and made sure to cover up any information that might even hint that I am innocent. They will definitely die today. I will not spoil your mood today. You guys go ahead, I will join you in a few minutes." Tanzo replied.

Reiju became silent and flew towards Shabondy with Hancock while Tanzo flew towards the ship. When he got closer, a bird flew out of the ship. It is the president of the World Economy Newspaper, Morgans.

He flew towards Tanzo and stopped before him. He said "Raysen Tanzo, I can already guess why you are here. I would suggest we sit down and talk this out."

Tanzo moved to Morgans using Geppo and Soru. He caught his neck and said "I have nothing to talk to you. You will pass out in 6 seconds. Give me a reason to let you live by then."

Morgans said while struggling to speak "I have information about your mother and sister's death."

Tanzo let go of his neck when he heard this. Morgans said "Since you responded immediately, I will assume that you also know it wasn't a suicide."
