One Piece: Luffy’s Big Brother. - Chapter 101

…

A group of women wearing nothing more than a bikini on them could be seen currently rapidly striding inside a forest as they chatted together.

“Whoa, the forest changed a lot didn’t it?” One of the women said looking at the forest.

“Those statues are well done! Is it the work of lord Edam?” Another said as she looked at the golden crystal statues of various animals nearly decorating the entirety of the forest.

“Why are you asking such a stupid question? Of course, it’s him, he’s the only one who can do this, and he’s always here with the princess.”

“Cough, anyway the forest looks beautiful nowadays, or is it my eyes tricking me?”

“No, it truly became more beautiful than before…” Sandersonia opened her mouth to speak and glanced at the forest surrounding them.

“Yes it’s true, those statues are magical, Edam told us that it can heal some very small injury, nourish the ground and the forest.”

Since those were made out of his own Ki, which was made out of life force, it did have this capacity.

“What?”

“Really?”

“Big Sis!” “Sis!” “Princess!”

Edam and Hancock instantly shift their heads toward the incoming group who stopped in their tracks awkwardly as they gave strange glances at their sacred princess on the ground.

The said sacred princess’s complexion heats up in an instant turning as red as a tomato while Edam who was on top smirked at that.

“Yo, what’s up!” He greeted with a nod of his head.

Fortunately, in three years, Edam was already very familiar with Amazon lily and was the first country he toured with Hancock as his guide. He at first felt like a beast in a Zoo with every girl there asking millions of questions, but he rapidly grew accustomed to it.

“Ahem, hello Edam…” Mariegold coughs a bit.

“Sis, we receive a message that the seven Warlords are conveyed to a meeting.” Sandersonia didn’t beat around the bushes and told her directly.

“Cough-cough-… Is that so?…where will it be held?” Hancock stood up embarrassingly as her white snake Salome who was playing away with White Snow both made their way to her.

“The meeting will be held at Marineford in a week it seems…” With that, Sonia shot a faint glance at Edam who was back on the floor closing his eyes and listening to the side relaxingly.

“Hmm, okay then…” Hancock nodded if it was before she would have made a ruckus and only accepted after many complaints, but after having stayed for three years with a troublemaker who could stir the anger of an entire country with but a few words and a few moves, she was forced to make wiser decisions.

Fighting a country wasn’t a problem in fact, but she too wants to enjoy her ‘vacation’ but with a country on them, it wasn’t the ideal situation.

“I will come with you…” Edam opened his eyes and spoke.

“Huh? Are you sure? Won’t you be punished or something like that?”

“What for? I can leave the Navy whenever I want, I’m a free soul okay?” Edam said with righteousness on his face.

He was already recalled back by the Navy a year ago, but the guy didn’t show himself at all, he refused to go back, preferring to travel around the grand line with Hancock.

“Okay then, prepare the ship, we set sail after tomorrow…” Hancock shrugged and waved at her people to withdraw back and they did as such.

…

The sun was rapidly falling and night slowly came to be while a full moon revealed itself.

His tail was slowly moving right to left in a very swift manner. If it was before his tail would be unmoving and his heart would race. Although he wouldn’t transform on the spot, his movement would just get stiff, moving like a robot.

But not now anymore, in fact even if he was currently angry his transformation into a beast would be at his own will.

However, what will happen when he would be in his actual Beast Form was another matter. It has been years since he transformed into it.

But he felt something change in his Soul Sea and he wants to try it out.

As he reflected on some stuff, he heard Hancock coming to him as her voice rang.

“Edam, dinner’s ready, are you coming yet?” She wore an apron on her accentuating her beauty as she inquired.

Edam faintly smiled at her and said.

“Hmm, you look ravishing with this apron!” He said as he looked up and down quietly appreciating each of her curves and forms, from her slender long body shape to her black silky cascading hair.

It wasn’t necessarily a perverted look but certainly one of fondness.

“Are you coming or not?” She turned around and made her way toward the house.

“Of course!”

…

And so they dine happily for about an hour or so.

At the end of the diner, Edam got up, washed the dishes before telling her.

“I will go on Rusukaina to test something…”

“Oh then let me come-…” Before she could say anything further his hand was already on her head stopping her neatly.

“Nope, it’s a full moon tonight and I don’t know what will happen so…” He had already revealed to her what his grandfather told him of course.

“But I still want to come, Edam.”

“No…”

“Please…” She closed on to him and hugged him as she pleaded with her brėȧsts on his ċhėst.

“No, you can’t, it might be dangerous.” Despite being ȧssaulted Edam didn’t give in this time though, he was adamant that she just couldn’t come.

He wouldn’t agree no matter what, it is just way too dangerous.

“I will still come, you taught me how to fly after all…” Hancock ignored him and said with her big eyes glowing with a certain pride.

“…” Edam’s mouth twitched not knowing what to say.

“Sigh~, what a stubborn princess, it will be dangerous, okay? I perhaps won’t have any control of myself, I don’t want to hurt you…” He ċȧrėssed her cheeks and said.

“You won’t hurt me, I’m certain of it…” She grabbed his hand and held it against her cheek as she spoke resolutely.

“…Sigh… fine, but you have to stay at least a kilometers away, and if something happens even the smallest weird things, you have to get away immediately and leave the island, understood?”

He was truly reluctant to agree with her since something had changed with him and he didn’t know what exactly, but knowing her she would probably still come so why not put some conditions in that case right?

“Hmm, I won’t hinder you, I will just stay by the side and watch…”

“Hey …It’s not that I don’t trust you, I don’t even mind if you hinder my tests okay? I just don’t want to hurt you…” With that said, he took a gentle kiss out of her delicate lips.

“Okay…”

He looked at her with a blessed expression and took her delicate and small hand in his own.

“Let’s go then…”

“Hmm!”

As he held her by the hand, he took his spatial sword out and slash it cutting through the very fabric of space creating a tunnel toward his intended destination, Rusukaina.

Space opens up as they both walk inside, hand in hand.

***

***

A portal quietly opened up in Rusukaina open sky, and they got out of it.

Holding her hand, he pulled her along and flew toward a mountain peak overseeing a huge flat land.

Presently, the full moon was already illuminating everything down below with a bright and beautiful silver light.

Arriving there, they first appreciated the view before Edam exclaimed softly.

“Oh right!”

“Hum?”

“I forgot to give it to you…” He said as he opened a spatial pouch and took something out.

“Here, I’ve finally completed it…” He handed out his gift.

In his hand, a dazzling crystalline flower pendent was quietly shining in. A very delicate golden-red string was tied to it. The flower was all in all golden colored but with a blood-red dot shining from time to time at a steady pace at the center of it as if pulsating like a beating heart.

“This is…?” She took and looked at the pendant with bright eyes.

The necklace was gorgeous to the extreme, with various patterns meticulously carved on it, like a treasure coming from heaven, something that could perhaps incite jealousy to gods and fairies all the same.

“Well, you know, I’ve tried to comprehend the way Vivre Card works right? And well, I’ve succeeded, it’s working…”

“You mean that it can…?”

“Yeah, Vivre Card uses the same principle as life forces, and so I’ve copied it heh, it can indicate my health and position to you, as long as the blood inside keeps on glowing then I’m good…”

“Why didn’t you just buy a Vivre Card then?”

“I’ve improved the idea…” He smirked mysteriously and didn’t say anything else.

“Anyway, here let me help you wear it… do you want to keep the older one?” He got behind her and he took the necklace, raised her long hair, and put it on her neck as it slowly slid down her brėȧst going in between the two heavenly mounds that could make a guy go crazy over it.

“I want to keep it, of course!” A stunning smile was visible on her face, seemingly very happy about her necklaces.

“Alright, I’m going then, and remember if anything happens, you leave the island…”

“Yes, yes…” Looking at her she didn’t even listen to him at all and only stared at her new necklace with tenderness dancing in her purple-blue eyes.

He wanted to say something again but in the end, only laughed wryly at her lovely behavior.

…

He made his way to the huge flat land as his smile wore off.

A frigid silence overtook the place he was standing on when he arrived.

As he raised his head slightly, the full moon was already in his eyesight shining on him it’s most powerful silver light.

He closed his clear black eyes for a second and when he reopened them, they were flickering from black to yellow and stopped at a blood-red color in a matter of seconds.

Thump! Thump!

Thump! Thump!

Thump! Thump!

The clear sound of heartbeats echoes out of his ċhėst in the silent island and the sounds of beastly growls out of his throat.

Growl! Growl!

Thump! Thump!

Following the sounds of heartbeats, Edam’s body was slowly expanding while his clothes were torn apart and black fur slowly grew out of him. His teeth too grew out and became razor sharps.

Out of nowhere, a horrible pain came and rushed throughout his body and mostly in his head.

Roar! He involuntarily gave out a roar to the sky as he bit on his now super sharp teeth trying to maintain his sanity under this pain. He didn’t know if other people from his race would undergo such pain too but his shift was currently goddam painful!

It was like someone was pouring lava over his head!

His facial features slowly change to become that of the Great Ape that we know.

And soon his height reached 3 meters… 6 meters… 10 meters… over 20 meters… 30 meters… 40… 60… 80 and 100 meters tall!

But it didn’t end here…

After a couple of minutes, the beast grew up to over 500 meters or so before he gradually stopped growing anymore. To say that the thing was a mountain would be a hilarious joke.

Hancock who was far away looked at this worryingly with a small frown on her face.

She was some kilometers away but even at such a distance, she could perfectly see every detail of the Giant Ape’s body, expression, and energy.

“This is…” She was completely flabbergasted and speechless by this scenery.

Edam once told her that he would grow as tall as a mountain and he wasn’t joking at all but now that she thought about it, this current Edam there shouldn’t be called a Giant Ape but a Titan Ape! Even a giant isn’t so big…

But even the concerned man didn’t know that he would grow so much. Since his last transformation, years had passed by, as he only focused on improving his Ki control and not his Saiyan part, making him clueless about that. He wasn’t so tall the last time… about 30 to 50 meters maybe… but now… it was over an absurd 400 meters…

In terms of appearance (apart from the height), the Giant (Titan) Ape in front of her was entirely black colored with a very muscular body’s build with every muscle neatly traced. Sure enough, its appearance was identical to the one in Edam sea soul, apart from that it didn’t have any chains on it now.

But most of all, this one was truly imposing, giving off a glorious and mighty presence. Even if it was put at the same height as other apes, this one would still easily stand out from the crowd.

Although Sea Kings were a thousand times taller and bigger than this Great Ape, after seeing it in person no one would doubt that this ‘Titan Ape’ was a thousand times more dangerous than any Sea Kings.

It was naturally bursting out a dreadful aura out, frightening and suppressing every living being on the island despite doing nothing at all.

The ‘Titan Ape’ was strangely quiet after turning in, only staring blankly at the moon as if contemplating it. The beast appeared very human at that moment, looking very intelligent.

But that was until…

Growl!

While looking at the moon or was it the sky? Anyway, it suddenly growls out in anger and starts to give repeated roars toward the sky.

At first glance, it was like the beast had gone crazy and was shouting at heaven, seemingly arguing with someone.

Rooaarr!!!

In the end, it gave out a powerful roar to the sky, a roar that shook the entire island before it started to wreck the place into ruin.

With each swing of his arms, he would produce incredibly powerful air pressure that could shatter a mountain or uproot half of a forest leaving behind ruin and destruction.

At one time, having had enough of mountains, the beast raised its right fist as high as it could, and…

Swish! Booooom!

His fist violently slammed on the ground as a shockwave blasted everything aside and a crack appeared instantly and…

Crack! Boom!

Another crack and boom sounded again and the entire island shook.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Hancock watched with horror as the island was split into pieces and new rivers were about to be made, new mountains were about to appear to completely change the landscape.

But ‘he’ didn’t wait for the landscape to change as it glanced at the biggest mountain that didn’t crumble.

There, myriads of beasts were currently fleeing for their lives in urgency.

And as he took a glance at them, he gave a faint growl as his eyes gleamed with a bright red light before he opened his massive jaws showing huge sharp teeth at the fleeing beasts.

A strident and heavy noise rang out and his jaw glowed up with a blood-red light and…

Doom! A beam with an absurd range shot out of his mouth and erased an entire mountain out of the map.

After it finished its attack it even seems to look at the scenery with evil and cruelty gleaming in its eyes greatly appreciating what it just did.

Turning to the side, it suddenly glanced at the seas and once again opened its mouth as it shot another beam of destruction in the sea leaving corpses behind it.

“Edam-…” Hancock exclaimed faintly but immediately covered her mouth realizing the blunder she just made.

Sure enough, the Ape heard it and violently turned its head toward the mountain she was standing on.

Seeing this the thought to flee immediately made its way into her mind but as she attempted to get out of there by flying…

She saw the huge Ape’s eyes abruptly flickered, locking its blood-red eyes on her as a tremendous pressure suddenly weighed down on her.

It felt as if the entire weight of the four seas were weighing down on her completely restraining her movements.

She just couldn’t flee at all! She was thoroughly trapped!

Boom… Boom… Boom… Boom…

As if knowing that she couldn’t go anywhere, the Titan Ape slowly made its way to her and with just a few steps it had already crossed the distance as it stopped in front of the mountain.

The mountain she was standing on was roughly three hundred meters or so, being far smaller than the Titan in front.

Seeing that she was completely restrained, she hesitated before finding the bravery to open her mouth to speak.

“Do… do you remember me?” Her voice echoed out, quivering a bit.

Growl…

Its shiny red eyes seemed to look at her with confusions flickering in the very depth of his eyes as if troubled by her.

“It’s me…” She bit on her lips guiltily, although she said that he wouldn’t hurt her, it was completely baseless.

For all she knew, this current Edam could easily kill her in an instant. This Edam here was truly brutal not hesitating to kill and massacre any living beings insight for his very own pŀėȧsurė. He wasn’t the same Edam…

However, against all odds, the beast did something she truly didn’t think it would do…

It gave her a faint growl as it suddenly turned around and completely ignored her…

Hancock “…? Wha-?”

Boom… Boom… Boom… the sounds of its heavy titan footsteps resounded as it walked away giving a kick to a small mountain by the way.

But when Hancock saw the direction he was taking, her eyes focused once again…

“No no no, you can’t go there!”

….
