74 (Vol 2) CHAPTER - 24 { Big Mom Pirates vs Devil's Pirates }

The news about Big Mom's first son, Perospero's defeat roamed the world.

That also, in the hands of a long forgotten Pirate Group, The Devil's Pirates.

Their return was a big surprise to the world, every one thought that it was actually a story made to scare children.

The 'Devil of the Sea' really does exist, putting many people's future in danger.

Somewhere on an island, many ships were docked on the shores.

It was the Big Mom Pirates, they were having a meeting on the island.

Sitting on a very huge chair, a middle aged woman threw some cakes in her mouth.

Her figure was not so fatty, unlike her future self. She still maintained her body for fighting.

Charlotte Linlin, or commonly called Big Mom, was the Captain of the Big Mom Pirates.

"Mama Mama! Perospero, you put my face down, " Said Big Mom, she glared at Perospero with anger while eating her cakes.

"I am sorry, mom, " Apologized Perospero while kneeling on the ground and lowering his head.

"I will leave you for this one, I don't like repeated mistakes, " Said Big Mom, she stood up and walked a few steps forward to the sea.

"Let's go, I want to see those old folks!, " Jumping on the giant pirate ship, Big Mom commanded.

Heaven Realm___

Inside the White House, the hall was in darkness. Akuma sat on his throne as he looked at Maba.

"So, a war is coming?, " Asked Akuma while resting his cheek on his right hand.

"Yes, master! It's the Big Mom Pirates, " Informed Mana as he continued to bow in front of Akuma.

"Do you know me?, " Asked Akuma while his eyes narrowed and fixed on Maba like a beast.

"Yes! We will bring the war to them!, " Said Maba, his heartbeat fastened as he felt Akuma's gaze on him.

"Now go! Ready everything! Big Mom or Big Dad, I will see how strong they are!, " Said Akuma, increasing his voice which made Maba get chills.

"Yes! Master!, " Nodding his head, Maba closed the door and went towards the Town of Happiness.

"It's been so long, since I fought a war, " Muttered Akuma, he stood up and slowly walked towards the door.

From the day he returned back, only once did he leave the White House.

That was also to only see the new Division Captains and learn about the current era a little bit.

Being alone is what Akuma liked now.

*Clank*

The sunlight fell on his face, it was so bright outside that Akuma had to close his eyes.

As a few seconds went by, his eyes adjusted to the sunlight. Walking towards the Crystal Gate, Akuma looked around.

The green thorn forest had become even bigger and thicker. As his steps left the Crystal Gate, an almost new world welcomed Akuma.

He didn't remember a thing about the Heaven Realm except the White House.

'There should be some people living here?, ' Thought Akuma, he headed towards the place where a thin black smoke rose.

On the way, he saw a very big lake. It was so clean that he could see the fish inside it.

His eyes then caught the small houses near a plain land, they were made of wood and big dry leaves.

"Who is that!, " Exclaimed a middle aged man but the thing was that he had two wings on his back.

"Giant!!, " The people in the village screamed in horror and ran into their house.

'They don't know me?, ' Thought Akuma, as he walked in the village. He looked down on the houses that were only his stomach level.

"Don't do it, " Said Akuma as his eyes became serious and his hand clenched into a fist.

His observation haki caught a person sneaking behind his back with some kind of weapon.

"Who are you! How did you come here?, " Asked the woman behind Akuma who also had white bird wings.

"Do I need permission to walk on my own property, " Asked Akuma with a frown on his face, just as he was about to turn back.

The woman stabbed her spear on Akuma's back with her full strength.

*Crack*

The spear, before the metal tip was cracked and it fell on the ground.

"How?, " The woman was shocked as she retreated many steps back from Akuma.

"If these things could kill me, I would have died years back, " Said Akuma, as he walked towards the woman with his plain face.

"Don't come near!, " Warned the woman, she pulled a dagger from her waist and held it tightly.

"Did you hear what I said?, " Asked Akuma, he extended his right hand to grab the woman.

"Aaa!, " The woman tried to stab Akuma's hand but the dagger couldn't even leave a scratch on him.

Holding the woman by her hands, Akuma raised her to his head level and looked closely.

"These wings, they should be smaller, " Said Akuma as he saw that the wings were very big.

They could definitely fly in the sky, but what he remembers. Only a blurry image that showed that the wings should have been smaller in size.

"Release me!, " Shouted the woman struggling to escape the tight grip of Akuma.

"I will ask Maba later, " Throwing the woman on the side, Akuma then walked towards the edge of the island.

"Who the hell was that guy?, " Muttered the woman while standing up and looking at the disappearing figure of Akuma.

"Victoria! Are you alright!, " A woman in her 40s came running from the house towards Victoria.

"Yes, " Replied Victoria while smiling at her mother bitterly and going inside her house.

While that happened, the village had a small meeting about this matter.

It was forbidden to go towards the only mountain on the island that was covered by thorn forest.

Maba was the only person who came here once in a while to check their people.

The villagers called Maba, 'Manager' of the island because he takes account of them.

Maba told them that they were brought here on this island because their old home island was destroyed.

For living here, the price they pay was to send five of their strongest teens from the entire village to him.
