(Vol 2) CHAPTER - 38 { Akuma's Family }

Two months later___

Akuma held a newspaper in his hands, it was the latest news from all around the world.

The front page said that Kaido has gotten out of the hands of Marines and returned to his territory.

The Devil's Pirates have become the biggest force in the New World followed by Whitebeard Pirates and Big Mom Pirates.

As the pages flipped, Akuma read that Big Mom started creating an event on her territory.

'Tea Party' was the event's name, where Big Mom invited people that interest her.

Many of whom are powerful figures of the underworld.

A new person emerged, 'Dracule Mihawk' who is a swordsman challenging other strong swordsmen.

His origin is unknown to the world, but it is said that he didn't lose a single match till date.

Which is of course not true, the matches were only the ones captured by the World Economy News Paper.

"Not a single useful news!, " Said Akuma while throwing the newspaper to his side.

His life was going simple, everyday was spent inside the White House.

After the children from the Angel Village were brought by Maba to Earth Realm, he didn't visit again.

It doesn't mean he didn't change a bit, something did change in him.

Also, he learned from Hamburg that his strength was decreasing every time he fought.

This happened because of the hundred years of imprisonment in Impel Down.

His body went past the prime, and his body was starting to affect his own strength.

If Akuma fights again, Hamburg said he would have to take support of machines to maintain his current state.

That's one of the reasons Akuma was not willing to come out of White House.

Only when something like Big Mom Pirates or Beasts Pirates happened, was he willing to step out.

*Clank*

The door of White House opened, revealing Wick and a few more figures behind.

"You all woke up?, " Said Akuma, moving his gaze from one person to the next.

"Yes, father!, " Said a very tall woman behind Wick, she was as tall as Akuma or even taller.

She wore metal clothings that covered only her breasts and crotch. Metal boots till the knees and two big swords on her waist.

Wholeheart Bella, the second daughter of Akuma and the third child of Wholeheart Family.

She is a creation like Wick with the blood of Akuma and the extinct race, Lunarian.

But instead of only a pair of black wings, she had two pairs of giant wings lightly glowing in red.

"It's really like a dream, I slept for almost hundred years!, " Said the woman next to Bella, she held her weapon tightly and looked around the dark hall.

She was about 4.2 meters tall and had a full set of little gold-silver armor, red clothes coming off on the edges of it.

Her hair was light brown in color and she had dark green eyes similar to Bella. The weapon she held was a very long silver spear.

Wholeheart Mint, the first daughter of Akuma and also the first child of Wholeheart Family.

She is the daughter of the Amazon Empress, and also a very strong warrior like her mother.

Mint was frozen in a special liquid prepared to stopped a person from aging.

The special liquid was similar to the ones Rony used for Akuma but more dense and stronger.

"It's my first time seeing father, " Said a young boy slowly coming forward from the back of the three.

His age was 15, height 1.6 meters like a normal boy at his age and a very handsome face with black hair.

Wholeheart Jimmy, the second son of Akuma and the last child of Wholeheart Family.

He is a very smart boy, and also the user of Ope Ope no Mi. His goal now is to learn everything about a living body.

Be it human's, giant's, snake-man's, fishman's or any other race.

"Father, I heard from Hamburg that you don't want to cure your body?, " Asked Jimmy, he thought that Akuma was not making the right decision.

"No need, everyone must die one day. Be it today or tomorrow, death will come.

I don't know why, but this line always comes in my mind when I think about life.

The newborns are marked by Angels while the dying are eyed by Devils, " Said Akuma closing his eyes and remembering the line from his blurry memories.

"Well… I guess it's better to not insist, " Said Jimmy feeling the awkward moment between him and his father.

After talking about some important issues, the four left the White House.

Akuma rubbed his chin, his eyes staring blankly in empty air.

"I don't feel like to sleep, " Muttered Akuma, leaning on the throne and crossing his right leg over the other.

"But it's better this way".

GrandLine___

On the first half of GrandLine called 'Pirate's Paradise' or simply 'Paradise', was filled with new rookie pirates.

This has become a major problem for the World Government.

Many kingdoms were looted and also got massacred by these pirates.

About this matter, many meetings took place in Red Line, Mary Geoise. The five elders, Fleet Admiral, Admirals, and the King of different Kingdoms.

All of them discussed and argued about these pirates. Many suggestions were made from where only few got selected.

Out of which, one was the highest voted. This suggestion was to use knife to cut knife.

'Seven Warlords of the Sea' or simply 'Seven Warlords'. Seven powerful and notorious pirates would be allied to the World Government.

And they will clean this new pirates, but definitely not for free.

But not yet, this idea is still on hold because of many reasons. One was that it could backfire, so a backup plan was needed.

Another suggestion was to make the big pirates in the New World fight themselves.

Also involving the pirates from the Paradise but what if they allied to face of the World Government.

Not risking, this idea was also in hold if the matter really goes out of the hands of the World Government.
