A/N: THANK YOU, if you had favorited, followed, or reviewed this~! If you hadn't... YOU BETTER, no just kidding ya... No, seriously, why would anyone joke on that? So, yeah... ENJOY~!
Sighing, I dumped the last of the pirates onto my ship. The Islanders had tied them up for me, meaning that I could leave without any worries. A shame that Cavendish had escaped, along with that vulgar Bartolomeo, it would have been amusing hearing them throw insults at me, while I casually ate. That Bartolomeo had been especially unique with using swear words and the hatred that Cavendish would've thrown at me, would've been really funny. Allowing a rare giggle to escape my lips, I happily set course for base, completely ignoring the pirates who were waking up.
"Oi, where are you bringing us?"
"Don't you know that I'm allied with Kaidou!"
"I'm allied with White-beard!"
"I'm with Shanks."
Alright, those lies were getting bolder by the second. I busied myself with anything to ignore them.
"I'm Shanks' son!"
"What?! No way!"
"You better let us go, girly. His dad's gonna get pissed!"
"Well, I'm White-beard's cousin, twice removed!"
"Really!?"
The only ones falling for those lies were the other pirates, they are so stupid, I swear. I rolled my eyes.
"Please shut up." I voiced over the pirates, "I already proved that I'm stronger, and I promise you don't want to get into a fight to prove which one of us is smarter."
"No, really. I'm allied with White- beard." I looked over to the pirate.
"He's probably unaware of your existence." I said blandly. I continued with busying myself. "Besides, I'm allied with Shanks and White-beard promised he wouldn't bother me for a good 25 more days." I looked up thoughtfully, "I don't know about what Kaidou will do, but I doubt he'll bother me until I bother him." I concluded ending their rants.
I was upset that not one ship had approached me yet. Looks like me becoming a Yonko had a bigger effect than I thought, I suppose that will be a tactic to use later. I removed the Big Mama Pirate flag and it was another 15 minutes of silence before the pirates started talking again.
"What Devil Fruit did you eat? I've never seen anything like it." One of the pirates asked.
I looked up at the sky, "Any guesses?" I asked back. I wanted to see what kind of conclusions future opponents would make on my abilities. I doubted anyone would say my abilities allowed me to manipulate atoms and the like, though.
"I figured that you could blow things up."
"Don't forget that she had injured us too, without even doing anything."
"Yeah, just like with blonde prick." He referred to Cavendish.
"Wait, every time she had attacked, she closed her eyes, right?"
"How could closing your eyes allow you to destroy a building, shatter a sword, and inflict multiple wounds on several people?!" One shot down the idea as soon as if came up.
It seemed that's where the roadblock came up, I stored it for future use and I admit, even I would be confused like them. Smirking, I felt the desire to reveal my abilities, should I? I doubted these guys would ever be a threat to me, however, I was worried about whatever connections they held. They could very well be allied to Shichibukai or Kaidou. I was curious about what the black market would have to say, I knew that Devil Fruit users came at high prices. I entertained myself by figuring out what my value as a slave would be.
The fact that I was a Yonko, a girl, a Devil Fruit user, and possibly the most dangerous weapon would fetch me at prices higher than a mermaid's. My total would be around 900,000,000 Belli, maybe even over a billion Belli. I smirked, the amount of attention and fear I would get would be fun.
"Genshi- Genshi no mi." I interrupted their discussion on what my Devil Fruit is. "I can manipulate atoms to my desire." Shocked gasps and faces entered my visage as I smiled down at them from my place. "Meaning that I could very well do anything to anything."
"That's... impossible!" A pirate exclaimed in disbelief and in shock, "You... you ate the Devil Fruit once revered as one of the 3 most dangerous weapons, Uranus!" Oh, he knew of the 3 weapons of mass destruction from the void Century?
Pluton, Poseidon, and Uranus. Pluton was rumored to be a warship capable of mass destruction, Poseidon had been the mermaid princess capable of communicating with Sea Monsters, and Uranus was a Devil Fruit capable of destroying Islands. Yes, those powers were certainly sought out by lots of pirates. There were many sensible reasons why the World Government wanted no one to know of anything related to the Void Century. Rumors of the 3 weapons had wormed their way to powerful pirates though; I was certain that some pirates were secretly trying to get their hands on one of the fabled weapons.
"Hey, I'll let you guys go if you promise to let the cat out of the bag on my abilities. I want as much attention and fear directed to me as possible." It would stop the majority of pirates from fighting me just because I was 15 years old. Now they had some real reasons on why to fear me. I knew that revealing this though, would probably force the World Government to want me alive. It wouldn't do for the Devil Fruit to come back in some place they wouldn't be able to find it, only to get into the wrong hands again. This would also make pirates lusting after power chase me down in hopes of making me their weapon. I'd be able to remove those vile people, who desire nothing short of world domination, from this world.
They nodded quickly, eager to get away from someone much more dangerous than they thought. They also seemed aware of the 3 weapons and knew that they stood no chance. I nodded, "I better get front cover again." I smirked at the mental vision of Cavendish throwing a fit again for the fame being stolen from him. He would probably sport an ugly frown on that so- called handsome face of his. Probably will be tearing his hair at some point too.
I had freed them from their chains and ropes and I started forming an atomic structure on a boat with my powers. With the boat having been created and the pirates scrambling about to leave, I saw my base of operations up ahead. I could get used to being a Yonko.
I landed on the ginger path walk, and looked around at all of the ginger bread houses, with frosting for grass. I felt sick looking at all of the sweet related foods. I decided running was a must as I ran with all of my possessions towards the big cake that was Big Mama's real base. I suppose that if this Island was filled with Spicy foods, I'd be happy as Big Mama was to be here.
"Halt, stranger!" A gingerbread cookie person called out to me. I halted as told, and turned to him. "State your business!"
"I'm Jane C. Diasmond, the new and nicer Yonko." Well, I wasn't completely nice, but I was better off than Big Mama.
"You decided to take the position after all?" The soldier nodded to himself, "Follow me." I raised an eyebrow before following. The soldier led me into one of the gingerbread houses. He saluted, "Sir, the Yonko Jane is here!" My eyes widened at the person sitting at the candied table. It was White-beard himself.
"What are you doing here?" I asked pleasantly, hiding that I was bewildered.
"Gurararara, while I did agree to not giving you any problems until 26 days were up, there was nothing in our deal that said that I couldn't meet you. I was curious to see the face of the brat that went against me." Damn, he used a loophole even I wasn't aware of. "Besides," He continued, looking down at me, "My presence helped you more than you can imagine."
'I can't imagine at all, white-beard.' I thought sarcastically. These Yonko's certainly know how to bring the worst of me out. Barely containing my hatred at being beaten at my own game, I replied.
"You kept pirates that wanted my base out, didn't you? Thanks, Edward." I smiled bitterly, "However, I'm a Yonko. I can handle myself, you know."
"It wasn't intentional, if you think so." He chuckled, "Like I'm helping you, you brat."
"Is that so?" I walked to the nearest seat, and sat down across from him. "Is your crew here?" Just as I said that, the door opened and in walked some people, some of who I recognized as the 16 commanders Marco, Ace, Jozu, Thatch, Vista, Blamenco, Rakuyo, Namur, Blenheim, Curiel, Kingdew, Haruta, Atmos, Speed Jiru, Fossa, and Izo. If White-beard's expecting a party, I'm not having any of it, it was bad enough with Shanks. Looking at them, I turned myself back to him, now not holding back my annoyance written all over my face.
"Pops, who's that?" Ace asked, glancing at me.
"Why don't you ask me that? I'm pretty sure I'm the expert of myself." I grumbled, crossing my arms over my chest.
White-beard looked over at his commanders, "She's a fellow Yonko."
"Yeah, yeah." I waved my hand flippantly. I was really starting to act like the teenager girl people pinned me as. It couldn't be helped, they were all here uninvited, dammit. "Who invited you guys again, because I sure as hell don't recall doing so."
"Calm down, brat." White-beard reprimanded, "You're surrounded by seniors here, show some respect."
I twitched, "I can't believe you just used that against me! I'm an equal to you!" I continued muttering under my breath, "Respect doesn't give a damn."
Ace laughed and bowed, "Nice to meet you, miss." The other commanders threw in their own greetings.
"Please refrain from insulting our pops." Marco smiled creepily at me. I scooted away from him slightly, nearly swearing in the process. That looked like the smile a pedophile gave a child before pushing them into some abandoned building.
"I don't think it's really wise to affiliate yourselves with me." I commented dryly. It would suck if I dragged them into the future mess I had made by revealing my abilities.
"Oh?" Marco asked, taking a seat next to White-beard along with the others. Soon it was awkward for me, seeing as everyone crammed themselves with White-beard, while my side was almost empty. I felt them sizing me up. They were probably trying to find what allowed me to beat Big Mama and her crew.
"She's rather cute, isn't she?" I heard Izo whisper to his comrades. I remained still, before dropping my jaw in shock.
"I can hear you, you know. And I must say, I'm getting very creeped out." I said out loud, "You are my seniors after all." I said with heavy sarcasm.
Izo smiled, "Your hair and eyes have a strange color to them, it's very unique."
Was he trying to make me flustered? It was working. I felt my eyes slip to the side. I always knew silver hair and purple green eyes were odd, but having an experienced pirate saying that made it painfully obvious to me it was definitely odd. Thankfully, I prevented the blush of embarrassment. I rubbed my cheek in nervousness. Sighing again I repeated myself.
"No, really. I wouldn't be surprised if I get the admirals after my ass soon. You should leave." I wouldn't be surprised if Sengoku himself personally saw to it that I was sent to jail or one of the World Nobles.
"Don't worry much, being a Yonko would make them want to avoid confrontations as much as possible." Marco tried to assure me. White-beard seemed content enough to sit and watch.
"That's only the tip of the iceberg. They'll have more than enough reasons to chase me down."
Silence ensued.
"I can only imagine the reasons why you would be paranoid, but-" Marco was cut off when someone ran in.
"Oyaji! That new Yonko Jane has the weapon Uranus!" He was the same pirate that insisted he was allied with White-beard. Thanks for cutting to the chase, I had wanted them to find out when they were far away from me. Not like this, when the entire force was here.
"What?!" Exclaimed some of the commanders. Marco's eyes widened as I slumped against my candy chair. White-beard was quiet as he stared at me.
"Ah, you again." I said, bringing the pirate's attention to me. He yelped, falling on his butt. He pointed to me in fear, "She ate the Genshi- Genshi no mi! She destroyed an entire factory without even touching it! I saw her bring down other pirates, without any effort!"
I rolled my eyes. He made me seem like some sort of god. "Well, then. Looks like the news certainly gets around fast." I stood up alarming the others. I put my hands up, showing them I meant no harm. "I don't have time for this, please leave."
"Where do you think you're going?" White-beard asked seriously. "Do you realize what trouble you got yourself into?" I stiffened.
"You're not suggesting something are you?" I rolled my shoulders at the tense atmosphere. "If you're worried about those World Nobles, then really, it's useless. I won't be caught." I wasn't going to give up that easily old man.
"From this point on, you're my ally." White-beard declared. I blinked looking at him stunned. I wasn't about to protest since his tone left no room to argue. I clicked my tongue against the roof of my mouth.
"Ace, have Teach guard her with you." Okay, that was pushing it. I slammed my hand on the table with enough force to snap it. The table shuddered as it collapsed onto the floor. The commanders and White-beard watched as I threw my fit calmly.
"I'm not some little princess to protect!" I retorted angrily. "I'm a Yonko!"
"They won't treat you like a human! They'll treat you like some rogue weapon!" Edward said harshly. I bristled.
"Fight me." I uttered. "If I lose, I accept the babysitters. If I win, you'll excuse yourselves from my life, permanently." I glared up straight into White-beard's eyes. I activated my eyes without closing them, wincing. I was too far in my anger to feel much. I threw myself without waiting for White-beard to agree. The commanders stepped away, politely.
"Pant, pant." I stood up again as White-beard chuckled.
"That's some nice spirit." He appraised. My activated eyes narrowed. The house had been the second thing to go after the table, and I hid a scream in my throat as the light greeted my eyes. It hurts a hell of a lot, and unsurprisingly I started tearing up tears of blood. I had yet to touch White-beard, and the bastard wouldn't let me get within 10 feet of him before he used his own damned Devil Fruit. I focused my eyes on the ground he stood on and I broke the structure.
He jumped up at the slightest tremor in the ground and launched himself at me. I got a pounding headache at the movement, but I still managed to dodge. I kicked at his shin, not succeeding at hurting him more than myself, however, the point was to get the contact I needed. I closed my eyes in relief, and felt the stress on my eyes disappear. Keeping my eyes closed, I pulled off the same stunt I used on Cavendish on White-beard. He grunted, however, before I could say shit, he flat out punched me on the side of my face. I tumbled into the ground and skidded to a stop. I was forced to deactivate my powers as I snapped my eyes open at him.
I widened my eyes at him, before I quickly reactivated my eyes and gave him multiple deep gashes and cuts, only to receive punches in return. This was turning into a battle of pain tolerance, but I already knew it was a lost cause as a final punch sent me flying into a house.
"Gack!" I cried out as I fell to the floor. I opened my eyes, turning off my powers as I stared at White-beard in pure amazement at his ability to continue fighting despite my best efforts to mobilize him. He gave a full blown laugh, amused and I realized with a start that he had been chuckling to himself the entire time.
'He wasn't even trying.' I realized, feeling scandalized. I couldn't beat him. I slumped into the wall behind me in defeat. Looks like I'll have babysitters after all.
"You win, old man." I coughed out. The commanders ran over to White-beard who grinned over to me.
"That's our pops for ya." Marco walked up to me, holding his hand out to me. I hesitantly took it. Marco pulled me up with ease. I stumbled away from Marco as I made my way to White-beard's sitting form. Closing my eyes, I briefly used my Genshi- Genshi no mi to heal White-beard's more serious wounds. I fell to my knees as my powers acted up and in a moment of lost control the same gashes appeared on my own body. I smirked grimly. Since our bodies were different sizes, these gashes that were small for White-beard were big for me.
"I hope you have a damned good doctor, I'll be needing it." I muttered out loud. As I landed fully on the ground, closing my eyes, I accepted the darkness that surrounded me.
I woke up to the sound of two people talking. I grumbled out my large detest for pirates, despite being a world- renowned one myself.
"Oi, no need for such harshness." I heard someone, male if the low pitch indicated correctly, mutter to me. My eyes snapped open at the fact that a man was in the same room with me. Brightness assaulted my vision as I faltered. The second division commander of the White-beard pirates, Portagas D. Ace stood not to far off the edge of the bed. There was also a tall, burly dark skinned man. His hair was unkempt and he looked like he had never shaved in his life. His nose was noticeable demented. He grinned showing several missing teeth. Overall, he was extremely unattractive. I nearly went pale as a sheet, horrified at his appearance. If Ace was here, did that mean he was Teach? I never failed to hear the details, even when in a fit of rage. These were my babysitters?
"Are you Teach?" I asked politely. I removed the covers of my body, realizing with a start that I was covered up almost entirely with gauze and bandages. I grimaced at the work I most likely made the doctors go through.
"I am. Pleasure to meet you, Yonko Jane C. Diasmond." He greeted. "I'm Marshall D. Teach." What was up with their middle names? They both had just the letter D. Then again I had just C. Guess I shouldn't be talking. Then again, I highly doubted that there was a lot of people with the same middle name as me. Letting it slide I turned my head to Ace.
"I guess I can't go around killing you guys, eh?" I said out loud nonchalantly. Ace smirked lopsidedly. "You can give it a try."
I looked at him funnily, "Is that what a babysitter should say?"
"We're your guards." He shrugged.
I hissed, "Like that makes it any better."
I then proceeded to kick them out so I could change out of the mummy clothes. After peeling off the bandages, I noted that my wounds have just closed up. Good news for the doctor. I redressed myself into an extra pair of my usual outfit laying in the corner. I sighed as I counted how many scars littered my arms, legs, neck, and face. White-beard may have been holding back, but he certainly still managed to inflict the damage on me. Although, I noted, I had accidentally took whatever I inflicted on him and made it my own wounds. Stupid. Just stupid.
'I need to train, badly, I'll have to improve my physical strength, then I'll have to test the Genshi- Genshi no mi. Even if it means exploding an island, I have to know if I can split an atom.' I thought to myself, 'No doubt there is a trump card somewhere in me, after all it wouldn't be much of a dangerous weapon if it couldn't do something catastrophic to an Island like the legends and myths say. Although, there were a lot of requirements to be met to test it, I need to know the range for my abilities first, it will be great to be able to win the battle without having to get too close for comfort. I also don't want to have to be on the Island to blow it up, lest I kill myself.' I was finally embracing the raw power that the Genshi- Genshi no mi gave to me.
So absorbed in my thoughts I hadn't noticed the shouts coming from outside the room. The sound of the door leading to my room snapping in half, halted me from planning out my tests. The door split in half as the tall, burly dark skinned man, named Marshall D. Teach broke through it and crashed into me. Shocked, my eyes widened as I registered him grabbing me from around my waist. I couldn't even react as he continued running into the wall, using my prone body to help out. Pain flashed through my body as I slammed into the wall.
"UWAH!" I cried out as old wounds protested. I had enough of being used as a rag doll. My wounds from fighting Big Mama's crew and captain hadn't even fully healed before I fought White-beard. Before I could get sent into the water behind, I gripped Teach's arms and broke free from his hold. I pushed back into him, using him to stop myself from falling. Gritting my teeth I was about to tell him to back up so I could make sure he could never have children, but his right arm broke free from my weak grip and smashed itself directly into my face. I still would have been saved from falling if he didn't also jump along. Before I knew it we both fell into the water. The water splashed as we both fell, and the unsurprisingly cold water enveloped me. Being a devil fruit user, I failed in trying to reach the surface.
'What the fuck just happened?!' My mind screamed. 'One second I'm minding my business and the next I'm sent into the ocean, by White-beard's babysitter no less!' Absolutely confused, I flailed helplessly in the water, desperately trying to save myself. I nearly jumped as I felt a hand grab my wrist and pull me upwards. My head was finally pulled above sea level, and I gasped for air in relief. I let the person pull me unto the small boat. Coughing and sputtering incoherently, I looked up to the person who was moving rather frantically. I stared as Teach started rowing, rowing away from White-beard's ship too.
'Did I seriously just get kidnapped?' I thought dumbly. Just to make sure, "Um, why are you rowing away from the ship?" The shouts I could hear coming from the ship's deck answered my questions. "THATCH! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!" I heard Marco yell. My eyes widened as I looked at the deck before back at Teach who was focused on getting us the hell out of there. "You..." I mumbled shocked.
"Get him to the nurse's wing! Ace come with me!" Soon I saw Ace and Marco at the railing.
"TEACH!" Ace roared. Snapping out of it, I attacked Teach as Marco and Ace pursued us. There was no way that I was gonna sit back while this guy tried to not only kidnap me but possibly make it seem as if I was just as guilty as he was. There was a sickening crunching noise as my fist landed square on his nose. It only took 3-4 pounds of force to break an average human nose after all. Even a civilian can manage that much.
"GWAH!" Teach let go of the rows to cradle his now broken nose. 'Bad move on your part', I thought darkly as I kicked the rows into the water. Marco and Ace reached us as I stepped back as far as the small boat would allow. Well, hopefully this whole fiasco would change White-beard's mind, after all I now had a solid reason to discredit his babysitters. One of them just tried to kidnap me, oh the irony. I watched as the two commanders brutally beat up Teach before bringing him back to the ship with me in tow. The White-beard Pirates deemed Marshall D. Teach, who insisted they call him Blackbeard in his last moments to their disgust, a traitor and executed him.
I suppose it would look bad if they didn't do that while in the presence of a Yonko who they had allied themselves with, notwithstanding the fact that said traitor tried to capture me.
Seeing how everyone on the ship seemed to be in a sour mood, I left and reached my base seeing how my new unwanted allies put themselves to use. They had everything set up according to the blueprints and notes that I had on my ship. Everything was where I wanted it to be. I didn't really like the intrusion, but at least my plan is half way done. I walked over to the room that I had decided would be for the Den-Den mushis.
Those pirates of White-beard certainly know how to be nice, surprisingly. I was appreciative of the thorough job done by the pirates. All I had to do was reclaim the Islands, give a leader the Den-Den mushi and the money, overview the building of the outpost and help out with choosing appropriate guards. Actually, that was easier said then done. But I should be able finish all this in 14 days, if the pirates trying to take over were as weak as the last Island, and I barely got any sleep.
'Take that, White-beard.' I smirked in self satisfaction. It'll be a pain in the ass, but I'll be able to finish up in the allotted time. Humming to myself, I was about to leave the room when I heard alarms blaring.
'Wow, they even set up the alarm system for me.' I turned over to the table with Den-Den mushis, seeing the red one labeled "Shanks" shake violently. My mood nearly turned as sour as the White-beard Pirates as I realized it was Shanks who was trying to contact me. Sighing, I walked over and picked it up.
"Hel-" I was cut off as Shanks yelled my ear off.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?! YOU ARE URANUS?!" Wincing, I held the responder away from my ear. Looks like those prisoners did a good job on letting the cat out of the bag about me. Amused at his reaction, for once, I replied.
"Yeah." I said nonchalantly, "It made it in the news, good." I twirled my silver hair with my index finger.
"Oh, okay. WAIT. WHY DOES IT SOUND LIKE YOU WERE WAITING FOR ME TO CALL?" Shanks demanded childishly. Well, I wasn't ever looking forward to your calls, but I suppose I could take advantage of this.
"Shush, I just wanted to impress opponents. Why, you jealous that I'm stealing the spotlight?" I teased lightly. "Again?" I added.
Man, I wanted to see that rookie Cavendish's face. There's just something about being able to knock a person's ego down a peg or two. I shook my head, I guess he left a sound impression on me. Seems to me like he will be a source of entertainment.
"...Of course not... just making sure you weren't worrying your pretty little head off." I could just see him grinning on the other side of the Den- Den mushi. I felt my cheeks get hot.
"...Fricken pedophile." I muttered before rudely hanging up. Shanks was the kind of person who you could talk to for hours and rarely broach a useful conversation with. He was the kind of person that I hated talking to.
