Chapter 117: A call for help?

…

*Amazon's lily, early in the morning, in the huge palace, in a certain room.*

*Push*

*Push*

Two people, a black-haired beauty and a black-haired young man were pushing themselves around and across the room as if they were arguing with each other.

But... if you were to look closely, you would see that this interaction right now was all but an argument.

Indeed, following every push, fervent kisses would be launched at each other lips, greedy and passionate.

"*Huff* Didn't you say we were going today?" Hancock huffed in hotly and said with her arms around his neck as she kissed him.

"...Well… You're not letting go too… and do I have to remind you that you're the one who started it?" Edam smiled back and replied with his hands tightly grabbing her firm and yet curvaceous thighs while he held her, back on the wall.

"You're reciprocating way too much too, I only wanted one kiss…" She kinda complained as her arms tighten as her lips were once again assaulted while she was taken and laid down on the near bed.

"*Huff*... He- Hey we really shouldn't do it so much, what, what if..."

"What if?"

"What if I were to fall pregnant…?" Hancock asked with a hesitant and anxious but also somewhat faint expecting expression.

"Pfff haha..." Edam in contrast slightly laughed and then asked with a faint smile.

"Why are you laughing, I mean, aren't we a bit too young to have a child…?"

"Hmm… You don't want to…?"

"Wha-?" Her face flushed not knowing what to say for a moment.

"It… It's not that I don't want to… but..." She lowered her adorable flushing head while biting on her lips and said with a mosquito's voice.

"...?" Edam's head tilted in wonder.

"...It's just that during these few days I saw how you took care of Eri and I just wondered if you perhaps…" Her face turned red like a tomato.

Her lovely self was enough to break any men's defense and bring the downfall of a country for sure.

Edam couldn't help but plant a delicate kiss on her forehead.

"Well, if you were by all chance to fall pregnant, I will happily take responsibilities and since you will be the one to bear the child, the decision is yours…' Edam gently caressed her face.

"Hmm, then I want-..."

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

Before Hancock could finish her sentence, they heard from beyond the door someone knocking on the door and speaking.

"My apologies, Snake Princess, someone is requesting to speak with lord Eden." A girl calmly explained.

"Me?" Edam and Hancock looked at each other in wonder. Edam seldom if not ever receives a call from someone, which kinda surprised him.

"Who is it?" Edam asked out loud.

"A certain Monkey D. Garp…"

"Grandpa…?" Hearing that, Edam pondered over what his gramps wanted from him. Was it to take some news? Nah, it wasn't in his grandpa's nature to do something like that.

"Sigh, I don't wanna go…" Edam sighed as he kissed her neck.

But she stopped him in his tracks and said.

"Lazy, your grandpa needs you…"

"... Alright…"

And so, he reluctantly let go of Hancock but without forgetting to place a few kisses here and there.

"Oh, and it's not only "my" grandpa, but it's "our" don't forget that…" With that, he stole another kiss and stood up as he pulled her up.

"Come with me…" Holding onto her hand, they both came out of the room as the Kuja girl respectfully stood by the sides and handed over the Den Den Mushi.

"Thanks…" He took the Den Den Mushi as he heard a familiar voice coming from it.

"Oi Edam! Can you hear me?! Grandpa here! Grandpa here! Answer if you can hear me!"

"Yeah yeah, I can hear you already, you don't need to shout grandpa…" Edam said while covering his ears and added. "Anyway, what's up? What do you need me for?"

However, the one who spoke was not Garp this time but Zephyr.

"Well, a lot of things happened, and Zaz and all your friends seemed to be in deep sh*t, and we lost their position..."

"Huh? What happened?"

"Don't know, they sent a call for help three days ago…" Garp shrugged his shoulders.

"Three days ago?" Edam pondered before saying. "Won't they be dead by now?" Calling for him three days later was a bit too late right?

"Hopefully not…" 

"Alright then where are they…?"

"They were supposed to return to Zaz's country home but it seems that they were attacked mid-way, the enemy is unknown…"

"Ok, no prob…"

"Alright, Over!" Garp exclaimed and then hung up.

Edam too hung up and looked at Hancock.

"Well, I have to save my friends first, and then we will go to meet Whitebeard…"

Indeed, Edam decided to pay a visit to the Emperor of the seas to negotiate the mess Hancock did last time. Since they hadn't killed his men, everything could be negotiated. 

From what Edam knew, Whitebeard was the kind to treat his crew like a family, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he would destroy a country for his sons...

"Should I come with you…?"

"Hmm… Nah it will be fine…"

"But…"

"Don't worry, I can just open up a spatial gate for you to come and help me in need…" He smiled and rubbed her head.

"Okay..." Hancock nodded in response even though she wasn't totally convinced by that. His disappearance was still very fresh in her mind.

"Come back safely…" Hancock watched on quietly.

"Yup, it will be quick."

Edam opened up a gate and went inside.

Having already marked the ship in the past, he only had to focus on its location to go over there.

…

…

*Meanwhile, on the Seal's unit side, in the New World, near a populated island…*

On the ship, a dozen people were currently present and completely worn out, seemingly exhausted.

They were of course Zaward, the four brothers, and all the others.

"Three days… Three days…! That f*cker kept sending us those f*cking rocks and this f*cking rain!" Raffe raged out.

"..."

"..."

No one even bothered to reply, the mood was currently at its lowest.

Three days ago, while they were peacefully sailing to go to Zaz and the twin sisters' home country, they met an enemy, a pirate… that said the enemy first proposed for the Minks to join his crew but how could they accept right? So they refused and the guy then told them to go and die…

The story in itself was simple…

However, 

Since then, they have been chased around for three whole days without rest.

And the worst in this matter was that they just couldn't do anything to this enemy despite their might. He could attack them all he wanted but they just couldn't fight back.

And the reason why was that this enemy could actually… 

Fly…!

Like, he and his ship, as well as his islands (yes his islands), could float!!!

This came as a shock to them, they learned afterward that the as*hole who kept chasing them was a very renowned pirate.

Even during the Pirate King's era, he was one of the most powerful pirates, being on par with Sengoku, Whitebeard, Garp, and Roger as living legends!

The much-feared, Shiki the Golden Lion!

Knowing this didn't discourage them as they sent a call for help, after all, they were up against a legend right now, but who would have thought that the message didn't go through due to some interference or so.

And for three days, the seal's unit could only defend their ship and try to escape from him… in vain.

Apart from Leo, no one could fly up to the floating islands and even that was hard to do because the enemy was showering them with seawater weakening Leo's powers.

Meanwhile Zaz the current captain was at the center of the ship and from his body, numerous golden chains were shooting out of him acting like some whips and destroying the rocks.

After a while, the wave projectiles stopped giving them a break.

"Damn, if we were on a full moon, I would have shown him who he's messing with!" Inue said with much annoyance.

"Yeah…" Nekoe nodded a bit tired.

"Phew… maybe, but even with a full moon, we can't even get up there to beat that guy…" Zaz said as he turned back into his human form and then added.

"We at least have to reach this island there to ask for reinforcement…" He looked at an island nearby as he then yelled to everyone's surprise.

"Edam you bastard, it should have been your job!" Zaz truly wants to cry inwardly.

He never wants to be the commander of a ship, all he ever wanted was to make his dad and grandfather proud while enjoying his life with his two fiancees…

But, because "that dumbass" messed things up and was dismissed, he was of course nominated to be the commander…

"I swear that I will hit his head the next time I see him-…" Zaz swore with a vein pulsing before he was interrupted.

"My my~… what an awful sight…"

Everyone on the ship heard a familiar and annoyingly playful voice resounding from above the ship as they looked up.

"The ship looks just like a turtle…"

Edam was quietly floating crossed legs in the air as he looked at them with a smile.
