Dragon Sorcerer In One Piece

Chapter 39 - Contracts and Changing History

"Hell NO! There is no way I will join another family, especially a messed up one like yours." Hades protested and refused Big Mom's offer of joining the Charlotte family as a son-in-law. Getting married at age of 17 isn't something Hades wants to do, not by the long shot. Hades has his agenda to follow, not to mention his big sister, Belo Betty would kill him if he gets married first before she gets a chance to find a boyfriend.

"You don't have a say on this boy, I have an idea of a few potential candidates for you to marry. After all, if you refuse marriage I will take the years of your life until you give up willingly." Big Mom said with leering eyes as she stopped eating her desserts. Hades knows the power of Big Mom's Soul Soul fruit and the ability to manipulate the lifespan of living things. Still, there is no way he will surrender his freedom and settle on some candy island forever.

"My answer is still no. I didn't come here for some matchmaking or arrange marriage. I came here to make a trade deal and if you refuse then I will make you accept the deal in my favor. So do your worst." Hades said as he put his foot down to show his iron will against the threat of Big Mom herself.

"Foolish child, let's see if you have the same answer when I take away 30 years of your life." Big Mom summons her personal 'homies', Zeus, and Prometheus which emit powerful elements of lighting and fire. This usually intimidates people but for Hades, this will be a walk in the park as he is naturally immune to fire and lighting thanks to his power of the demons. Using his Storm Titan's element, Hades absorbs Zeus's lighting and blasts it back to Big Mom which she blocked using her sword, Napoleon to redirect the lightning blast.

"You are full of surprises, boy. But you are way out of your league." Just as Big Mom said that the large carpet Hades was standing on suddenly moved and wrapped him around. Hades quickly uses the Earth Earth Fruit's element power to escape it from the trap, but the moment he got out of the moving carpet and returned to his human original form, Big Mom attacked him with a punch covered with her Haki and sent him up in the air.

The impact of the punch was strong enough to send Hades up to the ceiling and embedded him up there, this is until Big Mom jumped up to headbutt Hades, powerful enough to break the upper floors up to the rooftop.

'Shit, I know she is physically strong but this is crazy.' Hades stood back up as he realized he was on a different floor. Thanks to the Dog and Horse talisman, Hades is immune to physical damage but a sudden change of environment and sunlight didn't help him as Big Mom grabbed Hades's whole body and about to pull out his soul from the body.

"Soon, I will have your soul and since you are strong enough to withstand my attack, maybe I will make 4th special homie for myself." Big Mom laughs as she grabs Hades's soul, but the moment she grabs it, the soul burns her hands and shows the true color as it expands to free itself from the grasp of Big Mom.

Big Mom quickly recovers her hands from Hades's soul as she distances herself from him, "What is wrong with your soul? It is not a normal blue color or white but dark red. I haven't felt this evil soul since I fought Captain Rocks himself before I joined his crew." Big Mom shows signs of panic as she sees the dark red soul return back to Hades's body.

"First time hearing about it, who knows? Maybe it's all the spicy food I ate or something." Hades said as he used his rabbit and snake talisman to strike Big Mom first while her defense is down. The invisibility and super speed gave an advantage to Hades, but adding the power of Storm Titan with ox talisman to increase the damage is insane as Big Mom couldn't make a defensive stand in time.

By the time she started blocking the attack, it was too late as Hades pulled Gideon from his inventory and struck down Big Mom's head. The attack was strong enough to destroy the rooftop floor and return both fighters into Queen's chamber. When the dust settled down, Hades was standing top of Big Mom who passed out with blood coming from her forehead. Realizing this is a perfect opportunity, Hades uses the tiger talisman on Big Mom as she can't defend mental manipulation while she is passed out.

'Normal person's balance of good/bad is 50/50. Depending on which number is higher, the alignment will dictate the person's moral. Let see, Charlotte Linlin is... 11/89. Yep, as I expected, if she is this bad, I wonder how Kadio could be?' Hades thought to himself as he turned his hand to the right to change the Big Mom's balance into 50/50.

'You know what? Let's make this interesting. If Whitebeard is 60/40 and Red Hair is 80/20, then Big Mom will change the scale power of four Yonkos into one side.' Hades turned his hand more to the right as he changed the balance into 70/30. Finishing his work, Hades got off from Big Mom and used the horse talisman to heal her from injuries. It only took 5 seconds for Big Mom to regain consciousness and got up from the floor to seat.

"What happened? The last thing I remember was something hitting my head. Was anyone else hurt?" Big Mom asked Hades as she looked around. The last question surprised Hades as it proves that the tiger talisman actually worked and changed Big Mom completely. There is no hostility or sign of blood l.u.s.t from her as if the last few minutes of the fight didn't happen.

"Hades, it seems this room isn't fit to continue our conversation. My staff will fix this room while we move to the meeting room to finish our talk." Big Mom said as she got up and opened the door to outside where Katakuri and Brûlée were waiting.

"Mom, did you kill our guest?" Katakuri asked her but before he could get his answer, Hades came out with no sign of injuries.

"He is fine as you can see. Brûlée, order the staff to repair the chamber. Katakuri, you come with me." Big Mom gave an order to her two children as she and Hades walked away. Katakuri and Brûlée were confused as they heard the sound of fighting a few minutes ago which they believed Hades was surely dead. Now, Hades is walking next to Big Mom with no sign of injury, or being a corpse shows something else happened, which it will remain a mystery for both Katakuri and Brûlée for years to come.

1 Hour Later, Meeting Room,

"So, as both parties agreed in the contract. Big Mom will open the trade deal exclusive to Hades in exchange she will receive 30% of profit and delivery of special sweets from the black market. Hades will 70% profit with warehouse posts on Totto Land to establish the trade route. Will this be all?" Big Mom's lawyer read over the contract to Hades and Big Mom which both of them agreed to and signed it.

Katakuri, who was listening as a witness, remained quiet this whole time as he couldn't believe this at all. He expected some kind of complete domination on this contract, favoring Big Mom but this contract is heavily favored on Hades. More unbelievable thing is that Big Mom easily agreed to the terms without any hesitation after negotiating a few details such as product quality and fair trade price.

'The negotiation and fair price. Something is wrong with Big Mom. She would never agree to this even on her best day.' Katakuri thought to himself but considering the current situation as Sweet Commander and Minister of Flour, he knew the dire economic state of Totto Land which would fall within a decade or so. This trade will slowly change the direction and could stabilize the land without the need to attack other countries or other Yonkos's territory.

"Ok, I will send one of my subordinates to start bringing the goods and purchase sweets from your islands," Hades said as he retrieved the copy of the contract and didn't waste any time to stand up and shook Big Mom's hand.

"You know, you could still marry one of my daughters. It will be a perfect way to celebrate the new partnership." Big Mom said to Hades as she let go of Hades's hand.

"Nope, I'm good. I'm sure your daughters are beautiful but I still need to establish my position in the Underworld, also I'm too young to settle down." Hades explained his reason as he put his sword in the back and walked out of the meeting room.

After Hades left the room, Katakuri asked Big Mom, "Are you sure you want him to walk away? He could be a threat in the future if we don't take him out now."

"Don't worry son. If he was here to kill me he would have done it already. For now, let's focus on Totto Land and her people before making new enemies. Send the words to all ministers that we have trade deals with the King of the Underworld." Big Mom gave an order to Katakuri as she got off from her chair and walked out of the meeting room.

"Also, bring Lola and Chiffon to me, there is something I need to tell them about their father." With a heavy heart, Big Mom left the meeting room, making plans to fix her mistakes and wrong all those years ago.

Somewhere in the New World,

Du Feld finally made it to the New World to meet Gild Tesoro. Du Feld wasn't sure if this was a good idea but he needed to get rid of Hades once and for all, this meant he had to swallow his pride and make a temporary alliance with his rival.

"What took you so long, old man? If you took your time any longer, I sure Hades would have died in old age instead of our hands." Gild Tesoro said with a mocking tone as he was sitting on a pool made out of gold.

"Watch your tone, Tesoro. I had to move without getting any suspicion from others. As far as they know, I'm here to give new loans to nobles." Du Feld said with a cigar in his mouth. Meeting Gild Tesoro gave a bad taste in his mouth, the taste of cigar helps to ignore it.

"Fine, fine. So why do you need me to take down Hades? I'm sure you have enough money to hire muscles to take him down, so what is your plan?"

"It's simple. Hades's history is completely mysterious to the point where even Morgans can't find anything before his appearance. So, using our connection, we will write Hades's past. When we are done, Hades will be the most wanted man by the World Government and Navy will kill him for us." Du Feld explained his plan as he gave doc.u.ments to Gild Tesoro. After reading half of the doc.u.ments, Gild Tesoro's face gave a big evil smile as he looked at De Feld.

"You are full of surprise. If this works, Hades will be the most wanted man in the world. How did you find this?"

"Let's just say, one of my brokers gave it to me in exchange for connecting him with a chemical weapon maker." Du Feld said with a smile as he lit his cigar and enjoyed the smooth flavor.
