Star Child & a Silver Mine

After coming back to the Isle of Man with Alvida in tow I let her get used to the island as well as meet the rest of the crew, and also I would explain later on tonight how she can get stronger alongside me which after her single handed defeat at the hands of Luffy she needed to get stronger and fast.

So that night after she went to sleep alongside me she 'woke up' in the world of the Frontier, after her initial shock wore off I explained everything to her and how to get stronger through this training as well as evolution that will both make the user and there devil fruit abilities stronger, and after she gets strong enough I'll teach her how to use haki as well.

So after finding that out and getting excited about how her strength will increase she went off on her own to go fight monsters in the battlefields to help her get stronger and soon enough help her evolve as well.

After that though I just decided to relax after that, and when I awoke the next day I realized I didn't really have anything to do, I mean there's plenty of things I could go off and do, train along with Yamato, spend time with my kids, maybe go out and adventure around the seas, maybe go fight WhiteBeard or Kaido's crews, he'll just go have fun in ToTo land, hell I'm even considered one of the favorite family members by both my brothers and sisters and even by Ma.

Speaking of her….. the hunger pangs and the mood swings are getting worse to the point I had to find something that can help me pacify her when even me forcing her back with all my might, along with Prometheus, Napoleon and Zeus's help isn't enough to calm her down and keep her rampages in check, I had to get a very rare and extremely expensive musical relic to force her into a deep slumber, it's called Sloths Lyre.

Sloths Lyre- invoking on the Sin of Sloth, this Lyre will put even the most savage and strongest of beasts and humans into a state of calming and pure slumber, the downside of this Lyre is that only the player is immune, anyone else that here's the music will fall into a deep sleep as well, can only be used once a day.

Using the lyre I was able to finally calm Ma's rampage but since everyone who could have helped me move her somewhere else were also out cold, so I had to giantify myself just to lift up Ma, I mean I can lift her up easily in my now 10ft form, but that's very cumbersome so when I take my 50ft form it was easier for me to carry her over my shoulder while I brought her back to her castle before I talked to Strusen to get to work on making the food Ma was craving so she doesn't go on another rampage when she wakes up.

He was extremely thankful at the time that I was able to calm down her rampage, and soon after he and the rest of the chefs went around preparing the food Ma wanted, and they made it just in time because Ma was starting to wake up, though I don't know if it was because she was waking up naturally or that she smelled the delicious meal presented before her that the smell woke her up, either way she was extremely happy and satisfied to eat something she was craving.

After leaving her to it the rest of the siblings looked up to me even more, because no matter how strong any of them are, most of them deep down have a fear to stand up to her, and it seems that it was a unanimous decision that I was considered and honorary Sweets Commander along with Katakuri, Smoothie, Cracker and Snacks, and I was even called the 'Star Child' of the Big Ma pirates even, which I thought that was a bit much but I accepted it none the less even though it was my first time dealing with Big Ma's cravings in person rather than hearing about it from secondhand accounts.

But besides looking after my crew and my family, I had nothing else to do, but it seems that even if I wanted to relax, Gild had a proposition for me.

"Interested in screwing over some Celestial Dragons out of there money?"

"Screwing them out of there riches? Hehe, sign me up then, I could always due with screwing them over any chance I get." I say grinning to myself at the idea of fucking over even a small number of those bastards over.

"But you have to promise me you won't kill them alright?" Gild said slightly nervously, sure he'd kill them to but I'm doing all the celestial killing he could ever ask for, plus if they die on his ship, he'll take the blame.

"I promise that I won't kill them, but I promise to absolutely ruin there lives with a little help from Baccarat of course."

"Of course, it's not cheating if they can't prove anything after all." And with that we both laughed at that as we were going to enjoy screwing them out of money and even ruining there lives, after all we both know they deserve it.

"Alright I'll be over there shortly, though I'll come the normal way since I think my crew would love to enjoy themselves there as well."

"Sure sure, they'll be showing up in a week so if you get here early then you'll have time to enjoy yourselves, hey maybe you'll try out the shell derby, it's one of the new main attractions I built recently that everyone seems to be enjoying."

"Sure I'll check it out when I get there then, I'll see you in a few days then, till then." And with that I hung up and smiled.

"Looks like things are gonna get a bit more interesting, let's go tell the crew the good news." I say before I get up and head out to check up on everyone.

When I told them what was going on, they were all excited to go off to Grand Tesoro once again, I may go there often on my own through my gate, but my crew doesn't come along as much so they were happy about it.

And with that said and preparing somethings we headed on out for Grand Tesoro, which currently was somewhere in South Blue not to far from where we were.

…

..

.

About two days later we arrived on the island city of Grand Tesoro, and soon after giving everyone a sizable sum of money to go gamble on they all went out to have there own fun while I went off to see my old friend Gild.

Though as soon as I arrived Gild was, how do I say this, 'entertaining' a guest, and by entertaining I mean Gild the kicking the shit out of this poor fellow, the only notable features of the guy were his long brown hair and his red bandanna, but besides that nothing that interesting about him really.

"Tsk Tsk Tsk, Oh poor poor Bill…. You decided to play with Fire when you tried to start some shit with me you know? And now you not only lost! *STOMP!* But you owe me a lot of money, and if you want to keep your pretty little head attached to your body, you'll do something and it better be real soon before I decide to crush your skull like a watermelon!" He says while he keeps grinding his shoe into the back of Bills skull.

I just sit down in a couch nearby and pull out a cigar and light it, and after taking in a puff I look over to them both, "What he do to piss you off Gild?"

Gild just smiles at me before grabbing his head and shaking it back in forth, then proceeds to keep stomping on the guys head, "This dumbass decided it was a bright idea to go and attack some of my money ships, as well as some merchant ships that had luxury goods on them, 500,000,000 berries all down the drain because of him and his cronies before some of my crew could make it and take them down and bring them in to be dealt with by me personally…. I'm thinking about having them be a part of one of my personal death games I put people in who really piss me off and just watch him die painfully because of it." He says before giving one last stomp and getting bored with kicking the shit out of him and taking a seat in his chair.

"500 mil Huh? Yeah that's a lot, now this has effected me a bit since I get a cut of your profits once a month, now I'm gonna make less because of him…" I say before I get up and grab Bill by his long ass hair.

"So unless you have a really good reason why we shouldn't kill you for our entertainment you'll talk, because if you don't…" I say to him as I let him see me doing the slice neck motion.

Now let's just say this guy is absolutely terrified and really doesn't want to die, but he knows of a way to save his hide so he won't be killed, "Ah Bilber Mine!" He says through his swollen lips.

"A what mine?" (Gild)

"A Bilber Mine! Ah now here one es!!!"

"What is he saying?" (Gild)

"I think he's saying he knows where a Silver Mine is right?"

"Yesh! Ah Doo! Ust Don't ill me plesh!!!"

"So in return for mining out this Silver Mine and sending us let's say… about 95% of all the Silver you dig out on a monthly basis for your life right?" I ask and he nods repeatedly accepting my conditions.

"Well then I guess you can keep your life then, you keep sending us the silver and I won't come to take your head, now get the hell out of my sight!" Gild says and Bill just nods repeatedly before booking it out of Gilds office.

"Well we have a new source of income coming our way now, if I knew there was a silver mine I would have claimed it sooner, but hey now we have free labor doing the work for us." I say with a shrug and take my seat on the couch once again.

"So how are things with your ever increasing family?" He says while popping open a bottle of whisky and pouring me and him a drink.

I just smile before taking mine and drinking it, "Good stuff, and my family is fine and still growing, my kids are starting to learn to walk, though they can't do it on there own yet though, but soon they will." I say with a happy smile on my face.

Gild just smiles while shaking his head, "I can't believe the kid I met almost 14 years ago now is a father already…" he says happily first before he suddenly gets somber with a look of reminiscent in his eyes.

"…. You still can't forget her can you?"

"…. No and I think I never will, no amount of money and power will bring her back to life after all, but at least I avenged her death by killing the bastard that took her from me, and I still have to thank you for that old friend…" Gild says as he looks back at me with a both happy and sad looking smile on his face.

"But, enough about that, I don't want to be depressed around my friend even if your willing to cheer me up, so will have to wait a few days until there arrival, but I have a favor to ask of you." Gild says after shaking off his sad thoughts before he pulls out a picture and places it in front of me.

The picture is that of a man in a purple kimono, he has short hair and has scars covering his face with his eyes slightly open but I can only see the whites of them, it's hard to tell if he's blind or his eyes are just rolled back in this picture.

"This man here, Issho is his name, usually I don't care about most of the visitors that come and enjoy themselves here, but my crew and employees have been getting this strange vibe coming off him, from everything we have seen he is a blind man roughly in his fifties and is rather nice to everyone who he comes across…"

"Ooook? So what's the issue?"

"Well you know that some of my employees cheat our customers of there money and some don't, so the ones who don't cheat that come across him and have him play there games find him just like any regular old customer with no issues with, but the ones who proactively cheat him say that they get away with it the first time, but the second time they try he opens his eyes slowly and just stares at them menacingly, and it scares most of them so bad that they don't cheat him again because they all say that if they did that they felt he was gonna do something drastic, or they just lost consciousness all together at the sight of him 'looking' at them with his pure white eyes."

"So you want me to go see him and see what's going on?"

"Yes, see what his deal is all about and if you can convince him to leave, because most of my main crew are telling me it's a bad idea to fight the guy, and I only saw him from afar once, and he turned and looked straight at me, and I got the chills so I don't want to do anything to him either."

"Alright buddy I'll deal with this Issho fellow and have a chat with him and see what I can do alright?" I say after I down my whisky before taking my cigar and putting it back in my mouth.

"Thanks, I'll give you and your crew a big party on me after this."

"Heh, your just asking me to burn a hole in your pocket Huh?" I say with a grin before I start heading out of Gilds office.

"So Issho, who really are you?" I say to myself as I make my way to where Issho was last seen at.
