(Vol 2) CHAPTER - 41 { New Territory }

Drum Kingdom___

Drum Island is an extremely snowy country, with absolutely freezing temperatures that can be felt even from the surrounding seas.

There's a river that cuts deep into the island and where a waterfall of snow flows into.

The ground is always covered in thick snow, making locomotion difficult for those not adapted to it, and avalanches may be triggered by the local fauna.

The country features a series of drum shaped mountains known as the Drum Rockies.

The Drum Castle is located at the summit of the largest of the Drum Rockies, Drum Rock, at the very center of the island.

The Drum Ropeway functions as a way of travel between the Drum Castle and the rest of the kingdom.

Bighorn, Cocoa Weed, Gyasta and Robelle are some of the villages found in the island. Most fast travel between towns seems to be done through animal-pulled sleds or steeds.

50 ships floated towards the Drum Kingdom, the one leading them was a very big and blacked coloured ship.

Only this ship had the pirate flag, which was a human skull with two red horns. Behind were two bones in cross and blood painted.

Inside the ship, in the command room. A short ugly man sat on the long sofa with two tall women on his sides.

"Kikikiki, our base in Paradise!, " Said Brick, grabbing the breast of the woman on his right.

"Why don't we go down now?, " Asked Brick looking behind the towards the old man sitting on a single sofa.

Karen Kiro, the current user of Fuwa Fuwa no Mi and the Chief-in-command of Air Strike in Devil's Pirates.

He was forced by the World Government to surrender.

But the Devil's Pirates came at the right moment and saved him in return for loyalty.

They also offered to awaken his devil fruit, which he agreed to. A serum was injected in him, helping to awaken Fuwa Fuwa no mi.

But the side effect, was the change in his appearance. He now being only 32 in age looks like a 70 years old man.

At first he was devastated by it, then he started to enjoy this looks actually.

To be in a room filled with tens of beautiful and busty women, and looking like an old man was a new experience to him.

The metal balls floating in air around him, were all made of sea stones mix in it.

"Do I need to show what we can do?, " Asked Karen, standing up from the single sofa and coming in front of the screen.

"Why not! I never got the chance to see what our Air Strike, Chief-in-command can do!, " Said Brick in a very anticipating tone while enjoying the warm breasts of the two women.

"I am expecting a good reaction, " Replied Karen, he eyed the village nearest to the edge of the island.

"Meteor Strike!".

Outside___

From the black clouds that snowed, many small red objects fall towards the direction of the village.

Those objects were boulders size of three meters, and they were in about hundred.

"Hey! What are those!, " Shouted a man walking around the village, his shout attracted a lot of attentions.

"Those?, " The people were confused at first, but then as those boulders came more near.

They panicked, running away from the village to escape from the rain of boulders.

But they were late, the boulders landed and crashed the village killing everyone present.

Many from the others areas of the kingdom saw those falling boulders.

And then, they saw many ships floating towards the island with their cannon barrels locked on them.

"Pirates!, " Not long, everyone knew what these ships were here for.

Standing on the ground covered by thick snow, Brick looked at the huge tall mountains.

"Don't kill all of them, we need many things from here and the doctors are main!

Also, we take over the kingdom!, " Commanded Brick, slowly picking up some snow on his palm.

"Kitta, I hope you do this properly, " Said Brick looking towards the man with huge body on his side.

"Don't worry captain, leave it to me, " Said Kitta, the right hand man of Brick. He worked directly under Brick and also got complete freedom.

"Hey, who wants to roam?, " Floating from behind, Karen asked glancing a the mountains.

The two women of Brick raised their hands, Brick saw this and laughed.

"Let's go and see this place, " Karen floated together with Brick and his women around the mountains.

At first, the soldiers from castle fought hard against the Devil's Pirates but time brought defeat for them.

The King surrendered and, wanted to trade his and his family's lives for the kingdom.

Which was accepted, but only the King's life was spared and his family was captured.

Seeing his family getting captured, the King tried to argue but accidentally killed by Brick.

Almost all the doctors of the kingdom was taken by Devil's Pirates, leaving only a few back.

Now the Drum Kingdom was the territory of Devil's Pirates, no one could do anything.

Even the World Government unseen it, but had the line that if it goes more then they had to do something.

The Four Emperors, also didn't do anything about it because of many things.

Devil's Pirates also being the strongest force like the Marines was a fact, which is one of the reasons.

No person wants to fight someone stronger then himself or herself, unless crazy to get close to Death's door.

Morgans was earning alot because of the Devil's Pirates. Till now, only one token was used by Brick.

Another news went out, some of the Seven Warlords were also secretly working with the Emperors.

Arms, Devil Fruits, Drugs and many more were transported to each other behind the backs.

Big Mom Pirates, were the ones mostly doing works exposed to the world. Then comes the Beasts Pirates.

Devil's Pirates worked alone, but the news about Empress Boa Hancock visiting the Devil's Home was spread.

Yet, no actions were taken towards Hancock.

Many questioned the World Government. The reply they got was that Empress Boa Hancock didn't do anything to the people.

All she did was to kill the new rookie pirates and help the Marines.

The World was going in balance like everyone wanted, but not long.

As the person, who would create a new story had sailed out in the boundless bule sea.

Wanting to be the King of Pirates...
