Chapter 46

Gecko Moria's crew (Doctor Hogback and Absalom) had managed to snick away their captain's body from the main island with their ship.

They did try to look for the young girl of their crew, but she was nowhere to be found. They had to abandon her, as she might have been taken somewhere by Kuma.

The tiger man and the vampire doctor were talking about the matter regarding Portgas D. Ace execution. This type of news didn't matter to them, as it had nothing with them.

Absalom grumbled as he looked at the newspaper, "Well, I understand everything that was said, but more than that... I want a bride."

"...all right. Bring me a corpse of your type." Doctor Hogback replied with a smile.

Absalom scowled, "I don't want a Zombie!! I want a living woman!!"

"So this is where you have been hiding."

An unfamiliar voice came in from behind them, and they turned back with their guards up, Absalom only. However, his face soon relaxed as the person was their ally.

"Aren't you Vice Admiral Momonga? How did you get here?" Hogback asked, with his feet slightly moving backwards.

Jigokudō ignored them and looked at the beat up Warlord laying on the ship's floor.

"Whoever did this to him must be strong. Even so, he should be thankful that he is going to be one with a god like me."

"Hey!! Why aren't you going after the Straw Hat Pirates?!!" Absalom yelled.

The Vice Admiral reminded him of the zombies his doctor friend. The piercings on his face where just too much for one person to handle. However, Hogback was smiling showing his fangs out.

Jigokudō raised both his hands at them. All he needed was Gecko Moria's body, not some weird looking things.

"Wha—!"

The king of hell (not Zoro) appeared behind him, and stretched out it's tongue towards the two. It didn't take a second for all the two figures to be dead.

After a few minutes, the Marine ship with the real Pain appeared, and he jumped over to the new ship.

His feet stepped on something, and he had no choice, but to pick it up. It was a chance for the world to finally have peace.

"The Marines are going to publicly execute Portgas D. Ace. It is their own way of trying to bring the White Beard Pirates to fight them. This is also good for us, as we will get a chance to show the world what true pain is."

He moved to the half dead warlord, before he started stabbing his Chakra rods into him. There was no sign of resistance whatsoever.

After a few minutes he was done, and he called out, "Shuradō. Gecko Moria will take the position of the new Asura Path."

The Warlord opened his rinnegan and Pain immediately confirmed that Moria's devil fruit was still working.

"We shall lie and wait, until the day of Portgas D. Ace's execution."

Again, he did not find it odd that he was talking to himself.

...

At Cacao Island a wedding was happening. It was nothing too special to see Big Mom selling off one of her daughters.

However, today the groom was a prince from a sky island. Out of all her children, she never had a half angel before.

Linlin wanted to do it herself, However she had already planned a wedding with Orochimaru, so she had no choice, but to give one of her no name daughters to the unlucky prince.

It was now time for the wedding vows now. The old man priest with a hunched back, and a face full of bunny lines, addressed,

"Tito Roux Z, the second prince of Skytia, will you take Charlotte Konan as your lawfully wedded wife?"

The angel in the red suit shivered. It didn't need a doctor to tell that he was in a state of Hyperhidrosis.

The sweat coming from his body was so much that he looked to be a person who just got socked in by the rain.

'It is not like Konan is not beautiful, or anything. It's just both of us don't want to get married. However, escaping from Big Mom is impossible, for now.'

His golden eyes looked at the smiling giant woman sitting at the front row, 'Things would have been worse if it were Big Mom herself... I should consider myself lucky. .'

He forced a smile on his calm face, "I do."

Not giving any mind to what was taking place, the priest continued,

"Charlotte Konan, the 30th daughter and 70th child from the Charlotte family, will you take Tito Roux Z as your lawfully wedded husband?"

The young girl was shivering underneath her veil. She never wanted this. Thanks to being the only one without a devil fruit she is mostly seen as an outcast.

She was planning to escape, so agreeing won't hurt.

"I —! AHHHH!"

She started convulsing from pain, as she loudly fell to the ground. It didn't take long, before she passed out.

....

Konan's amber eyes stared at a familiar, yet unfamiliar ceiling. She remembers being killed by Madara, and also being at a wedding.

Seeing that she was alone, she muttered, "So he was able to find a way to escape, as he said he would."

She knew Big Mom was her mother, and possibly the strongest person she ever met. Going against her will be nothing short of suicidal.

Yet, the previous her, agreed to go against her

She finally got up from the bed, and was greeted but an extravagant room, with vanished wooden furniture.

However, she didn't ponder much with it, as she looked at the two items on the table, next her bed.

A vivre card written 'Rayleigh' and a letter.

[The vivre card I gave you belongs to a friend of a friend. He lives on Sabaody Archipelago, you may meet him, or not.

All that matters is that you get to the first half of the Grand Line. After all, Big Mom won't chase you there.

I hope you live a good life.

Your partner in crime.

TRZ.]

The letter made sense, pirates were after the one piece. There is no way Big Mom would go there chasing her just because of a simple marriage.

She didn't feel sad at all. This was her second chance in life, and she didn't know what to do with it.

It was a useless reincarnation.

"Haa..." She sighed, the situation at hand was irreversible.

"I will go to Sabaody Archipelago and think the rest there."
