Treasures Of The Line
Chapter 6
" I can't believe how different the village is. It's bigger than I remember... " Sylvia sighed softly as she soaked in the hot water of the hot springs. After a moment, Sylvia heard a familiar hissing sound and gasped softly as Shika bit down on the side of her neck. " Shi... Ah... Shika... "
As Sylvia sighed softly, Shika released her and nuzzled against her cheek gently with a soft hiss as Sylvia spoke. " I missed you Shika. Look how much bigger you are! " Sylvia smiled as Shika hissed playfully and coiled her tail around Sylvia's arm gently as Sylvia sighed softly at the feeling of Shika's venom coursing through her. " I've actually kinda missed that feeling... " Sylvia blushed softly as Lolly and Ajiya giggled softly before Ajiya spoke.
" Shika wouldn't let anyone into your room for months after you left. It took forever to convince her to share. " Ajiya smiled as Shika glanced toward her and moved her jaw as if she were mimicking Ajiya as she spoke. " That isn't how I look when I talk! " Ajiya glared at Shika as she mimicked Ajiya again before hissing softly and slithering away.
As Sylvia and Lolly giggled, Ajiya pouted and blushed brightly before sitting down as Sylvia spoke. " So much has changed... " Sylvia grinned before moving behind Lolly and putting her arms around her before squeezing her breasts playfully. " Just look how much you have grown Lolly. " Sylvia giggled playfully as Lolly shivered.
" Mmm... Hey... Knock it off... " Lolly shoved Sylvia gently before covering herself defensively and sitting down in a huff as her cheeks flushed red.
" Aw... But it's fun... " Sylvia grinned mischievously before wading toward Lolly with a playful grin on her face as Lolly watched her with a look of concern.
" Come on Sylvia... Please... " Lolly backed away defensively but gasped loudly as Sylvia rushed forward and pinned her against the edge of the spring.
" Please what? What would you like me to do Lolly? " Sylvia grinned impishly as Lolly blushed lightly.
" Stop teasing me... You have Ajiya. Just... Just stop... " Lolly looked away sadly with a hint of disappointment as Sylvia moved back and spoke softly.
" You don't have to do that you know. Yes I have Ajiya... " Sylvia turned to face Ajiya as she giggled and spoke.
" But that doesn't mean we are going to exclude you Lolly. " Ajiya waded over to Lolly mischievously before seizing Lolly's chin in the palm of her hand and tilting her head up before pressing a fiery kiss to Lolly's lips, Making her whimper softly. As Lolly regained her composure, She pushed Ajiya away gently.
" Stop it. You two are together. You shouldn't do that with me. " Lolly turned away as she bit her lip but gasped loudly as Sylvia tilted her head back and kissed her deeply, Causing Lolly to moan softly.
After a moment, Sylvia broke the kiss and spoke softly as her lips brushed against Lolly's. " We are together. But that doesn't mean we have to cut you out of our fun Lolly. That doesn't mean we have to keep our affection to ourselves. It certainly doesn't mean we can't share. It just means that there will be times where me and Ajiya want some... Us time. " Sylvia smiled before biting Lolly's bottom lip seductively and licking along her jawline before sitting down beside her as she spoke.
" But doesn't it feel wrong? Doesn't it feel like betrayal? " Lolly looked at Sylvia as she shook her head before Lolly looked at Ajiya who giggled and spoke.
" But is it really betrayal if we are both okay with it and both do it? " Ajiya giggled softly as Lolly motioned to debate but fell silent.
" Really Lolly, We are both okay with including you. If you want to be included. " Sylvia grinned before nibbling Lolly's ear tenderly as she whimpered. After a moment, Lolly shoved Sylvia roughly after she let go of her ear and waded away from her as she spoke shakily.
" Ofcourse I want to be included you idiot! Do you have any idea how left out I have felt since you two first kissed me?! Do you have any idea how much I have wanted that again?! How much I have missed and longed for your stupid kisses?! " Lolly had a stern, Fierce tone of voice as she whirled around and moved over to Sylvia before pinning her against the edge of the spring and kissing her desperately with a fiery, Savage passion. As a shiver ran through Sylvia's senses, She moaned into Lolly's kisses and melted against Lolly's tender but firm touch. After a moment, Lolly moved back and had a hurt expression on her face.
"You two... I really hate you sometimes. You are such a bitch for making me like this Sylvia... " Lolly glared at Sylvia maliciously as she turned and moved to the side of the spring before getting out and wrapping a towel around herself and running off as Sylvia watched her with shock on her face.
" I... " Sylvia bit her lip as tears formed in her eyes but as she was about to cry, Ajiya wiped the tears away and kissed her gently.
" It's okay Sylvia. She doesn't mean that. She is just overwhelmed at the moment. She has missed you more than she dares to admit. " Ajiya smiled warmly as she put her arms around Sylvia.
" But she sounded so wounded... " Sylvia's lip trembled as Ajiya stroked her hair gently.
" I know. But she really doesn't mean it. Yes, She has felt left out but I know she will want to be included now that she knows we aren't betraying each other. Just give her time to come to terms with her emotions. Her heart and mind want this. She trembles every time we touch her. She just isn't used to it. " Ajiya smiled as Sylvia sighed and sat down. After a few minutes, Lolly's teary cries made them whirl around to see Lolly looking at them with sadness in her eyes.
" I hate you two so much... " Lolly spoke as she trembled heavily. " But I just can't stay angry at either of you or really mean it when I say I hate you. You two are both so special to me. But I just... " Lolly gasped loudly as Sylvia pulled her into the water and held her tightly.
" I'm sorry Lolly. I didn't mean to make you feel so hurt. I am so sorry. " Sylvia moved back and gasped as Lolly slapped her. After a moment, Sylvia snapped out of her shock and looked at Lolly but gasped again as Lolly pulled her forward and kissed her with the same fiery passion she had before.
" I hate you... But I love you... Both of you. I can't be with either of you but I just can't stay excluded. I want more. " Lolly had a ferocious desire and lust in her eyes as she spoke. " I want it all. Everything you two do with each other I want as well. "
Lolly had a fierce expression but immediately softened as Sylvia seized her chin gently. " I like this part of you Lolly. This fiery, Fierce woman that knows exactly what she wants. It's really alluring. " Sylvia licked her lips seductively as Lolly shivered lightly. As she watched Sylvia, Lolly felt Ajiya's hands slide up her body and grip her breasts tightly, Causing her to gasp loudly.
" I can't wait to play with you Lolly. We are going to have so much fun together. " Ajiya spoke with desire in her voice before biting down on Lolly's neck tenderly, Causing Lolly to moan softly. As she trembled softly, Lolly spoke with a firm tone as Sylvia and Ajiya sat down.
" You two made me like this. You damn well better take responsibility. " Lolly turned away as she pouted but once again moaned as Sylvia stood up and wrapped her arms around her and licked the side of her neck slowly.
" Your damn right I am taking responsibility. I made you this way and I intend to enjoy it. Now sit your ass down so I can kiss you again. " Sylvia bit Lolly's neck gently, Causing her to gasp softly before Sylvia sat down as Lolly shivered. After sitting down, Lolly gasped nervously as Ajiya and Sylvia pressed themselves against her and held her tightly. " You better be ready for us Lolly. "
" We have a lot of desire and lust bottled up and we intend fulfil it all. You are welcome to join us. " Ajiya seductively nibbled the side of Lolly's jaw as she sighed softly.
" Damn... You two are relentless... " Lolly sighed softly but smiled as Sylvia nuzzled her neck gently.
" Can you really blame us? I have been away for eleven years. That is a lot of time to make up for. A lot of... " Sylvia paused as she moved slightly and licked Lolly's nipple slowly before kissing up to her lips and pressing a kiss to them. After a moment, Sylvia broke the kiss and spoke in a soft, Seductive voice as Lolly trembled under her touch. " Emotions... You have no idea how many times I wanted to race back here and get my hands on the two of you. "
" Mmm... Stop teasing me Sylvia... You are driving me mad... " Lolly blushed brightly as desire filled her eyes and she motioned to move but stayed still as Sylvia pressed her body against hers and slowly ran her hand up the inside of Lolly's thigh.
" I'll just have to do something about that won't I... " Sylvia bit Lolly's neck seductively as she moved her hand up slowly, Causing Lolly to moan loudly before Ajiya pressed a deep kiss to Lolly's lips.
An Hour Later
" That was so good... " Lolly trembled slightly as she dried herself off and got dressed.
" Beyond good. That was amazing. We are going to have to do this a lot more often. " Ajiya smiled devilishly as Sylvia giggled.
" Definitely. I don't think I would be able to handle not doing this again. " Sylvia hummed contently as the aftershock wore off. " Now that we have had our way with each other, What do you two want to do? "
" Actually Sylvia, Hancock wanted to speak with you... After we were done ofcourse. " Ajiya blushed brightly as she spoke but smiled as Sylvia kissed her and Lolly gently before getting dressed and leaving. As Sylvia left, Lolly turned to Ajiya.
" Don't go thinking we are done. You are all mine now. " Lolly smirked before seizing Ajiya's hand and dragging her away from the hot springs with a look of desire on her face.
Meanwhile
As Sylvia walked through the village, She waved at the many smiling faces that greeted her. When she arrived at the palace, Sylvia sighed as she looked upon the home she had been away from. Upon entering, She found Hancock, Marigold and Sandersonia waiting for her.
" Ah... I was wondering when you would drop by sweety. " Hancock smiled as Sylvia walked over and hugged her lovingly.
" Sorry I kept you waiting mother. I had a few... Distractions... To handle first. " Sylvia blushed lightly as Hancock giggled.
" I imagine so. There is something we need to discuss so I am glad you are here. " Hancock stood slowly as she held up a small slip of paper. " As you are aware, We have defied the World Government and become proper pirates. In doing so, We have... In a way... Declared war. The fleet you saw when you arrived was a… Well honestly it was more of a scout force than an actual fleet. They brought some sort of drill with them to get through the crystal wall and would have broken through had you not destroyed them. That being said, Sakazuki will not let this go. "
" If he survives the hole I put in his chest. Somehow I don't think even he is tough enough to survive that. " Sylvia smiled sweetly as Hancock looked to her sisters with shock on her face before Sylvia continued. " I'll be honest mother, I am totally unconcerned with the World Government. They have nothing in their arsenal that causes me immediate concern. The main issue is Doctor Vegapunk. Father told me about him during my training. He is the one responsible for every technological advancement that the World Government achieves. What does concern me are the other Warlords. Especially Dracule Mihawk. While he has no Devil Fruit abilities as far as anyone is aware, He is a very real threat and will be uniquely difficult to handle if he is sent here to deal with us. "
" I agree. Dracule Mihawk is the singular greatest swordsman to ever live. Unless that changes, I would count him as the most dangerous man on the seas. We should be very cautious not to force the World Government to a point where Dracule Mihawk becomes the only answer they have. " Hancock spoke sternly but relaxed as she continued. " The other Warlords do pose a significant threat but Dracule Mihawk is the singular most threatening of them. The others are more... A major inconvenience. "
" Perhaps. But it is foolish to underestimate an adversary. They are not called Warlords because they are easily dealt with. " Sylvia spoke coolly but clearly had concern on her mind as Marigold spoke.
" While all of this is valid, It is not currently our concern. It takes a lot to force a reaction such as the Warlords. If we don't actively cause the World Government high amounts of trouble or inconvenience, The Warlords will be unnecessary. Sakazuki will come back if he survives though. That man is relentless. " Marigold sighed softly as Sylvia giggled.
" I can handle Sakazuki. He is not a problem. There are few in the World Government that pose a threat now. That being said I do not discount them entirely. They are still adversaries and I will treat them as such. Is there anything else we need to talk about? " Sylvia looked between Hancock and her sisters as they shook their heads. " I'll be off then. I am going on a short trip to a nearby island but I will be back in a few days. I will reinforce the wall before I leave. " Sylvia smiled and hugged Hancock, Marigold and Sandersonia before leaving the palace and walking toward the village gate.
" She is a totally different person. It's like she has a fire burning inside her. " Sandersonia spoke tenderly as Hancock smiled brightly.
" Yes... She is everything that I hoped her training would turn her into. Sylvia has not only become very strong but also quite powerful. I just worry that she may become... Reckless. " Hancock sighed softly before Marigold spoke.
" She might. But I imagine that Lolly and Ajiya will have something to say about that if she does. " Marigold giggled softly before walking out of the palace as Hancock and Sandersonia smiled as the palace door closed.
Sylvia walked through the village happily and smiled at the other villagers. After walking through the village gate, Sylvia sighed softly as energy rippled across her body, Quickly changing into her crystal form and stretching her wings before taking off and flying to the wall. As she circled, Sylvia sighed softly at the extent of the damage that the Marines had done with their drill. After landing, Sylvia knelt down and breathed slowly as energy flowed through her and into the wall, Reforming it and repairing the damage bit by bit.
After fully repairing the wall, Sylvia smiled contently and took off again before flying east at high speed. After a few hours of flying, Sylvia landed on a small island and sighed tiredly. After looking around and realising that the island had no life on it whatsoever, Sylvia smiled and sat down. " The perfect place for it. Now I think I need some rest before I try it. "
Sylvia found a nearby dead tree that had a hole in the trunk. After crawling into the tree trunk and curling up, Sylvia sighed contently before falling asleep.
The Next Day
Sylvia crawled out of the tree trunk and stood slowly before stretching as the icy morning breeze caressed her skin. After taking a deep breathe of chilling air, Sylvia spoke calmly.
" Alright... Let's see if I can do this. Father said it happens to everyone that has Devil Fruit powers and that it can happen at any time but because my power is different to other Devil Fruit powers, I might be able to do it sooner than others. What did he say I had to do... " Sylvia hummed softly before gasping and giggling. " Oh yeah... I have to meditate and concentrate on my powers. "
Sylvia giggled softly before sitting down and closing her eyes. As she breathed slowly, Sylvia's skin glistened slowly as her crystals covered her body. As she continued to breathe, Sylvia felt a thrum of energy from deep within herself. As she focused on it more and more, The crystals adorning her skin began humming softly. As the sound got louder and louder, Sylvia's crystals glowed softly for a moment before radiating in a blinding light as Sylvia's eyes shot open and the entire island erupted into massive pink crystal formations. After several minutes, Sylvia gasped loudly as her crystals receded and she fell to her side exhaustively.
A Few Hours Later
As Sylvia woke up, She heard a soft whistling sound as the wind rushed through the crystal formations surrounding her. After looking around, Sylvia smiled brightly and giggled. " Told him I could do it. Awakening... " Sylvia stood and looked around in wonder as she laughed happily. " Crystal World. This is gonna come in handy once I can do it without collapsing. Wait till everyone sees this. They are gonna flip... " Sylvia giggled playfully before sitting down and meditating again.
Amazon Lily
" WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE LEFT?! " Ajiya shouted angrily as Hancock explained what was going on.
" Ajiya please. There is no need to shout. Sylvia needed to go to a nearby island for a few days. I realise it is sudden but there is very little we can do to control her choices. " Hancock giggled happily as Marigold and Sandersonia smiled.
" Sylvia is more warrior now than any of us have ever been. She showed no fear or hesitation when she fought the Marines. She burns with a fire that makes us cling to her every word. " Sandersonia spoke happily and smiled as Marigold spoke.
" She has a strength and power that only she fully understands. Even though we want to keep her safe... " Marigold fell silent but smiled as Hancock finished her sentence.
" We cannot keep her caged. Her spirit is wild and free. If we try to rein her in... " Hancock smiled as Lolly walked in and spoke playfully.
" It will be war. Sylvia is not someone who can be dominated. If you want to keep her caged you should expect her to fight with everything shes got. Anything less would be disappointing. " Lolly giggled softly before speaking again. " Ajiya I get it. She just came home and suddenly she is gone again. But she is only going to be gone for a day or two. Until then I'll keep you company. " Lolly smiled coyly and had a glimmer of lust and desire in her eyes as Ajiya blushed brightly and Hancock giggled playfully.
" But I... " Ajiya looked toward the door of the palace as Lolly placed a hand on her shoulder gently.
" I know Ajiya. But it is okay. She will be back. Think she is gonna be able to stay away after what we did together? " Lolly giggled and grinned devilishly as Ajiya blushed and smiled.
" You are right Lolly. She will want to come back. She won't be able to stay away. " Ajiya giggled playfully before taking Lolly's hand and pulling her toward the door. " Now come with me. I'm feeling playful. "
" See? Relentless! Better be ready for what you sign up for Ajiya. " Lolly grinned playfully as she let Ajiya drag her out of the palace. As the door closed, Marigold giggled and spoke calmly.
" Those three have no boundaries with each other do they? " Marigold smiled as Sandersonia spoke.
" None whatsoever. But that isn't a bad thing. " Sandersonia giggled softly as Hancock spoke with a smile.
" I actually envy them. I never had anyone I could be that close with. " Hancock sighed sadly but perked up as she stood and walked out of the palace with Sandersonia and Marigold in tow.
The Next Day
Sylvia sighed softly as she yawned and opened her eyes. All around her, The island was drowned in a soft pink light as the sunlight touched the crystal formations on the island. After a moment, Sylvia stretched out and sighed softly as the cool breeze caressed her skin and the smell of the ocean waves filled her senses.
" Time to head back to Amazon Lily. Ajiya will be freaking out. She is gonna kill me for not saying goodbye. " Sylvia giggled softly as crystal slowly covered her skin and her crystal wings slowly stretched out from her upper back, Jingling softly as she slowly flapped them before taking off and flying back toward Amazon Lily.
A Few Hours Later
" What do you want to do today Ajiya? " Lolly spoke softly before smiling as ajiya stopped walking and thought for a moment.
" I don't really know... I would love to spend the day with Sylvia but... " Ajiya sighed softly but gasped loudly as a soft jingling sound filled her ears before Sylvia landed in front of her, Causing her to fall backwards in surprise as Lolly and Sylvia giggled softly.
" Scared you did I? " Sylvia smiled brightly as Ajiya glared at her in frustration.
" First you just disappear without saying goodbye or telling me where you are going and now you just fall out of the sky and scare me half to death! " Ajiya stood and turned away in a huff as she pouted before Sylvia walked up behind her and wrapped her arms around Ajiya before biting on her neck roughly as Ajiya blushed brightly.
" Don't hate me Ajiya... I didn't mean to scare you... " Sylvia spoke soothingly before stepping back as Ajiya sighed.
" Are you going to tell us what you were doing for the last three days? " Ajiya had an expectant look on her face as Sylvia smiled and shook her head.
" No. I am going to show you. Lolly can you let mother know that I would like her to meet me at the island south west of here? " Sylvia smiled as Lolly nodded and spoke.
" I assume you and Ajiya are leaving n... " Lolly paused as Sylvia pulled Ajiya into her arms and took off once more. " Figures. " After smiling happily, Lolly walked to the palace and told Hancock what Sylvia had said.
Meanwhile
" Where are we going exactly? " Ajiya spoke softly as Sylvia smiled.
" It's a surprise. Just wait... You''ll see. " Sylvia grinned cheekily as she continued to fly toward the island.
A Few Hours Later
" So did Sylvia happen to say exactly why she wants us to see the island? " Hancock turned to face Lolly as she shook her head slowly.
" No. But that probably has something to do with it. " Lolly smirked as she pointed toward the island as it came into view, Massive spires and formations of pink crystals covering the entire island.
As Hancock looked toward the island with a look of shock on her face, The sunlight shone over the horizon, Filling the pink crystals with light and causing them to radiate a soft pink glow, Drowning the island in pink light.
A she stepped onto the island after leaving a rowboat, Hancock sighed in wonder at the crystals covering the island. As she motioned to speak, Marigold beat her to it.
" This is... Breathtaking... What could have done this... Surely Sylvia's powers have not evolved this much in eleven years... " Marigold spoke in shock as she looked toward Hancock.
" She was trained during those eleven years by Dark King Silvers Rayleigh. I can all but guarantee that he taught her this. That he taught her everything he knows. But this... " Hancock looked around before walking through the towering crystal formations. " This is a level of power so few Devil Fruit users ever achieve. "
After a moment, Marigold, Sandersonia and Lolly ran to catch up to Hancock. As they caught up, They saw Hancock standing in a large, Wide gap between crystal formations with Ajiya at her side, Looking toward a clearing. When they approached and followed Hancock's gaze, They saw Sylvia sitting in the open area, Meditating. After a moment, Sylvia's entire body glowed and her eyes shot open as the crystals formations covering the island rumbled softly before increasing in size slowly. After a moment, Sylvia sighed softly and fell backwards with a tired look on her face as the crystals covering her skin slowly receded. As Sylvia lay still, Her eyes slowly closed as she fell asleep. As Sylvia lay there, Hancock spoke softly with a look of shock on her face.
" Awakening... " Hancock sighed nervously as Ajiya walked to Sylvia's side and lifted her head gently before nestling it into her lap and smiling as Sylvia slept. As she ran her fingers through Sylvia's hair, Ajiya spoke softly.
" Doing this drains all of her energy and leaves her totally exhausted. It will take time before she can use this without needing to sleep immediately. It seems that she was only able to create the wall around Amazon Lily due to how angry she was about the Marines. If she hadn't been emotional, Creating the wall may have put her into a coma... At least that is what Sylvia told me. " Ajiya smiled tenderly as Sylvia rolled onto her stomach and wrapped her arms around Ajiya's waist before nuzzling against her stomach lovingly as Ajiya petted her head gently.
" She has grown so much... I... I almost fear how powerful she is becoming. " Lolly trembled slightly but sighed and smiled as Ajiya giggled.
" She has both of us to help her. We will make sure she doesn't overdo things or generally do anything incredibly stupid. " Ajiya giggled softly as Lolly sat down next to her.
" Well yeah... But no one can control her... It... " Lolly looked away for a moment before sighing and speaking. " It might... It might be dangerous for us too. "
" What do you mean it might be dangerous for us? Sylvia would never hurt us! " Ajiya spoke sternly but fell silent at the fear in Lolly's eyes.
" Look around you Ajiya. Sylvia... " Lolly bit her lip before continuing. " Sylvia might not be able to control this. "
" That doesn't make her a threat to us! How could you even think that?! " Ajiya looked toward Lolly with a scornful look on her face as Lolly spoke.
" Look at how much she has changed Ajiya. She is more powerful than Hancock, Marigold and Sandersonia combined. On top of that, Her ability cancels powers used against her. You saw her rage when she attacked the Marines. Can you honestly look me in the eye and tell me that you aren't at the very least thinking that I might have a point? " Lolly spoke sternly but with a sad look on her face as Ajiya look back toward Sylvia as she slept.
" That's not what I said. Make all the points you want. I don't care. Sylvia would never hurt us. " Ajiya sighed softly as Sylvia yawned and rolled over before nuzzling against Ajiya's stomach gently. " That doesn't matter right now. Before you got here, Sylvia told me why she has been training so hard. Why she came here to practice Awakening. "
" And here I thought she was doing it for fun. What reason? " Lolly spoke softly as Ajiya turned to face her.
" She wants to look for the treasure her father told her about. The One Piece. She wants to become the Pirate King... Or Queen in her case... But yeah. " Ajiya sighed softly as a look of horror appeared on Hancock, Marigold and Sandersonia's faces as Lolly spoke with concern and shock in her voice.
" W... What the hell is she thinking?! That will put a bullseye on her back for both the Marines and Pirates! How is this a good idea?! " Lolly looked toward Ajiya but froze as Sylvia slowly sat up and spoke.
" Good or bad is irrelevant. Finding the One Piece is what I have decided. I'll do it alone if I have to. Father was a part of Gold Rogers crew. It feels right. " Sylvia stood and stretched as the wind blew through the crystal formations, Giving off a musical whistling sound. " I am the Devil Fruit's Bane. I will find the One Piece and will take on anyone who gets in my way. But first... First I am going to need a ship. "
" I can help with that. " Hancock smiled as she stepped forward. " The woman who built my ship, Gina, Is currently in the port town of Water Seven. The last time I saw her, She was looking to join a crew. Water Seven is in the Paradise region to the north east. You may want to... " Hancock fell silent as crystals covered Sylvia's body and her wings stretched out before she took off. " To pack supplies... Right. Back to Amazon Lilly then. " Hancock sighed softly before walking back to the boats with Sandersonia, Marigold, Ajiya and Lolly. Once back aboard the Perfume Yuda, They sailed back to Amazon Lilly.
Will Sylvia find what she is looking for?
Will her journey to Water Seven be worth it?
