[ a year later ]
as i sail across the sea with my own ship, i recall how the year passed, after the battle with the Whitebeard pirates, i became very famous, and people quickly tried to target me, of course they are all dead now.
"ready the sails, after we reach the kingdom, stop the ship and begin the collection of the protection money, if i hear that you have asked more money then they need to give, then you will bear my wrath!" i said as i released a small and weak burst of King's Haki.
a year ago i saw how the beast pirates collect money only from the wano, but i decided to make the beast pirates do something else, i decided to plant the flags on the islands that we conquered, they will be protected by us, and in return every person has to pay use a hundred berry every month.
now that may seem small, but the islands in new world are huge, and on average there is at least as much as a million people on the island, and due to the payment being small everybody can pay, and they have no problem, except the pirates and navy.
"captain we are close!" i hear a shout as i look at the front, there i see the shadow of an island, it had a huge castle, and it was right next to hive island, where the legendary pirate, Ochoku resides.
the ship docks and i go to the castle, as i walk i can see people not being scared of me, this proves that there are people who will be thankful for the ones that help them.
i start walking up to the castle, and i notice that the king along with his children are waiting for me, they are bowing to me.
"did you collect the money for this month?" i asked them while i looked around the castle, the king replies with a yes.
"how much did you collect?" i ask them again.
"we collected about 400 million berries my lord" the king says, but i can hear envy in his tone, i didn't care i was happy, as that means there is 4 million people on this island.
"get the money on the ship, i will be there in a few minutes" i said to the pirate on my right, with a nod he and the crew collected the money and went towards the ship.
after this i had dinner with the king, and in the middle of the deal, i offered him a new deal.
"what do you think about giving me a 50 boys and 50 girls, ten year old, there orphan, every month?" i said to the king, with this i can develop my own force, and i already have my own territory that i want.
the king looked at me with surprise, he stopped eating and began thinking about what i said, ever since i protected this island from any pirate, the island became at least 3 times richer, more people started working and opening shops, and the people that get orphaned is way less.
"well there is a problem my lord, what if there is no more orphan to send you after i send everyone?" the king asks, and i also think about it.
"if there is no more orphans then just wait until there is more, and beginning from today, give every orphanage more care and more food, and tell them it was because the pirate lord Akuma was generous" i said as i finished the last food on my plate, with this the orphan children will think and have a better view on me, and they won't have any objection to come and join my crew.
"yes my lord" the king replied, and i sat there for a few seconds when a pirate that it's arm walked in with staggering step and blood on him.
"c-captain, Ochoku stole our treasure!"the pirate that was almost dead said before his body dropped onto the floor, i looked at the pirate and i walked out of the castle, from the hill i could see a ship going away from my ship, everything was good except all my crew was dead.
BOOOM!
a heavy pressure clouded the whole island, but this pressure was nothing compared to what the ship sailing away felt.
"in a month, it will be your death date" a calm voice traveled through the haki, and it reached the huge figure clad in armor, he had a huge straight sword and a shield.
"how is this possible....." the figure clad in armor said as he felt the haki, he thought he just robbed a random pirate crew, but this ability...
"this ability was only shown by captain Rox...." Ochoku said while his eye became ferious, it looks like he will have to really prepare for a fight in a month.
as i watched their ship disappear, i walked into the castle, and bid goodbye to the king, i reminded him of our deal, and i walked out, the king lent me some people that can navigate, and while we are going back to wano, i realised that my sailing knowledge is zero.
so while we were sailing back to wano i took the courtesy to study from the sailing crew, they helped me and in just a day a skill appeared.
[ sailing knowledge lv.10: able to locate location to islands while on sea, and also able to tel a whole hour before a change in weather happens]
and 3 days slowly passed, i got back to wano and i sent the sailing vrew back safely.
"Ochoku you old sag of piece of shit, shouldn't have crossed paths with me" i said as i began training for the month.
