Chapter 169
Title: Unexpected Arrival (2)
....
On the outskirts of Bidadari Island, a small boat quietly came to the beach. This was the edge of the city, so there were not many people around.
The 5 people on the ship covered their bodies in robes, looking very shady. Finally they got closer to the mainland but unexpectedly, 2 guards on patrol noticed them.
"Hey, you!" The heavy voice of one of the guards started a small group as they looked at the guard with a frown.
The two guards were 7 feet tall, blond, with heavy bodies. They stood proudly with suspicious eyes staring at the boat.
"Why did you enter through the back gate? Show me your identity," One of the guards stepped forward and asked. He was sure they were planning something, but he needed sufficient evidence.
One of the five people murmured to them, "We have shown our identity at the Gates of Heaven."
The guard frowned hearing that. "Then show me again. It doesn't hurt, does it?"
Hearing him, the 5 people slowly exchanged looks. Still, like obedient dogs, they slowly slipped their hands under their robes, taking out cards. This is the card given at the Summit of the West, the only legal road to Skypiea. Pirates and criminals obviously cannot get it, at least those who do not pay for it.
"Hmmm..." The guard received their cards and nodded. "4 The shipbuilder and a bartender. I don't see anything suspicious. And although entering the city from the back gate is not a crime, your clothes make you look profitable."
The guard looked at the faces of the people, as he asked, "Are you guys here to look for work?"
The man with the rectangular nose shook his head. "We shipbuilders are here only to receive a commission. But this guy's looking for a job." He said while pointing at the burly man, dressed as a bartender under a robe. "We met him on the way, and decided to give him a ride, that's all."
The guard nodded. "Everything's fine then, you can go inside. Next time be sure to wear something better, okay?"
The suspects nodded as the guards then turned around and left the place.
Among the travelers, a man with a pigeon on his shoulder stared at the back of the guard. Suspectingly, the pigeon began to speak in a high tone, "The security is quite tight, but none at the level of Whole Cake Island. That's very little for an Emperor, in my opinion."
When the pigeon stopped talking, a laugh startled them. The laughter stopped as a soothing sound crept in their ears, "This place is safer than Impel Down, the idiot. Because I'm here."
Before the five people in black could turn their heads, they felt their brains blurred and their nerves numb, as if they were electrocuted. Soon they lost consciousness.
Zzz... The last thing they heard was the sound of electricity.

What happened after that was not interesting.
I took the five of them to Gran Tesoro, to the Fortune Girl, and placed 10 people in each of them. But something messy happened next.
"I'm sorry, Sir." Baccarat bowed deeply and apologized to me, but there was not the slightest bit of empathy in his tone. Yes, he's one of those 'successful' brainwashed people, but he still can't process all kinds of emotions.
Hearing him, I just stared at him coldly, almost wanting to break his neck. In the end, I shook my head slowly while sighing.
Then I looked at the floor where 4 people were sitting. Rob Lucci, Kaku, and two random guys that I don't know his name. They were brainwashed so they sat quietly.
The problem was that the body was lying next to them, a corpse to be exact. Blueno, member of CP-9.
'Huh, the man died in the middle of the procedure.' That's sad, but not really. There are millions of reasons.
I looked at Rob Lucci with an indifferent expression on my face. "Oi, does this guy have any devil fruit?"
I don't know if he has it, I've forgotten a lot of little details from Canon lately.
It took a few seconds for Lucci to process my words, a brainwashing reaction that took several days to correct.
"...He has Paramecia, the fruit of the Doors."
Soon, I was overwhelmed with excitement. I smiled and looked at Baccarat. "For them, I'll be back in 26 seconds."
zzzz ...
I entered lightning speed and teleported kilometers away, going to the upper courtyard which was thousands of kilometers from here.
I stormed the forest, went in a certain direction, took the broccoli, and jumped back here by boat. All of this took me exactly 26 seconds as I again stood in front of Baccarat.
While Baccarat stood there silently, I quietly placed the fruit near the dead man's body.
'This is a blessing in disguise. I was hoping to get this kind of fruit "storage" for a while now, and I finally got it.' Yes, this is arguably the best type of fruit storage.
When a door is made in the air, it leads to pocket dimensions. A pocket that is only our normal earth but empty of any life, which means infinite space. There is no other fruit that is better than this as a type of storage, besides it has other quite good uses as well.
The problem is that even though I myself need this fruit, I can't eat it because of the Op-Op no Mi, yet I can't let anyone else eat it because it would ruin the point. Then should I keep the cat and make it eat this? It seems like maybe, cats can always be with me.
Hmm. or I could try my theory. Well, it doesn't hurt.
Simple right? It seems to be trustworthy too. Now, what if an inanimate object, which manifests 'will', 'life' eats the demonic fruit of Paramecia? If you eat it, isn't it the same as the person who eats it?
Yes that's right. What if Kitetsu I, the cursed sword with the will to fight, ate this fruit?
'No, it's not gonna work. I tried before.'
Well..this just means the 'life' inside the sword is not strong enough. Now, there are two ways to make it strong:
Put the soul into the sword using DF Big Mom. (Soon, no. I don't want anyone else's soul injected into the sword, because it could harm me at any time. And about myself... I will never let Big Mom touch my soul!)
Insert 'shadow' on the sword using Yona fruit. (This seems possible, and I don't mind using part of my own shadow.)
Normally shadows could not be put into inanimate objects, but this sword was no longer alive, so there it was. After all, it was just living its theoretical life, so I'm not sure.
'I guess I'll test it after I return from Drum Kingdom.' I thought as I watched the fruits that began to change under me.
As for how I knew about the fruit without asking before, it was because I recently obtained the 'Devil Fruit Encyclopedia'. It's a pretty rare book, so I didn't have it before, but now I have it. It has most of the fruit written on it. (Indeed, even the rare Yami-Yami no Mi was written in this book)
I just shook my head as I looked towards Lucci. Funny how the alias Robin gave me was similar to his name.
"Rob Lucci, why did you come to Sky Island?" I asked, knowing he wouldn't be able to lie to me anymore.
He replied, "I was contacted directly by a World Noble. He wants you dead because he is the father of the three World Nobles whom you have despised."
"So you're here to kill me? I think the government knows you're not strong enough to fight the Emperor." I pointed to a lack of judgment.
He corrected me by shaking his head, "I didn't do it. I was just sent here to draw a map of Skypiea and also check the security of the entire island. Although not all of us, as Blueno was supposed to do. get a job at one of the bars here, he'll be a spy."
I'm nodding. "That explains a lot of things. So the World Nobles are planning to send assassins and bounty hunters to chase after me? Ah, don't even make my blood boil." I shook my head, feeling weird why this happened so late.
It has been about 3 months since I made love to the Elders and returned the two brothers. But no one is chasing me.
Oh, by the way, the female Noble is still in the sky. I never patted him on the cheek, after all, he was finished off by a horse... I don't want to touch him after that.
Well, just because I don't want it doesn't mean nobody wants it. The main attraction of the Red Light District was her (yes, Skypiea even had a red light district). Although she was not that beautiful, the outside pirates who came here legally still chose her, only to feel the people they considered to be God.
'To be honest, I don't think this will be a successful idea.5% of our economy comes from him alone.' That's a pretty funny thing.
Anyway, discuss that enough. I'm not interested in what hit men or bounty hunters they send me. After all, there was no strong person who was not a pirate or a Marine in this world. Still, when the time comes, I will exterminate them all.
I then saw Rob Lucci. "All right, you should go back. I remember your work at Water 7 as a shipbuilder lately. Go back and report that you barely managed to escape from some guards in exchange for Blueno's life."
This would give the impression that the Skypiea guards alone were strong enough to make the CP9 run away.
Rob Lucia nodded. "I understand."
I then teleported after grabbing the Devil Fruit of the Doors. I must immediately go to Drum Kingdom, then after returning, I will test if I can really make my sword eat its fruit.

Meanwhile, on the Skypiea coast, the Wyper fleet was preparing to leave. The ships were long and large, stretching up to a three-story building.
They are warships made from the scratches of Marine military ships so they are sturdy and durable.
Among the 10 ships, Wyper chose the first one as he began to climb the stairs connecting to the deck.
As he stepped into the ship, the voice of a girl flowed in his ears.
"Oi, Wyper! Don't die! But if you feel like you're dying, just call me, I'll go and save you!"
Wyper's blood vessels appeared as he looked at the crowd below, the source of his voice. Looking at Raki, the irritation in his eyes grew even greater. "Shut up! I'll win!"
Saying this, Wyper stomped on the ship as his body trembled. 'My gut tells me this is going to be a tough battle.'
Wyper's feelings are stronger than Amon's.
