(Vol 2) CHAPTER - 44 { Development }

"Come on!, " Shouted a man looking up and seeing a person with big white wings lifting up a huge boulder.

"It's really heavy!, " Said the person with the wings, a rope was tied on his waist which was connected to the boulder.

The man was Karen, he is training the Angel children who went in the process of strengthening their body.

And the person was that smart boy named Vicky, now his height was about 3.5 meters.

Around him were the other children. All of them were also lifting different huge boulders.

They will be the Air Strike Officers, under Chief-in-Command Karen.

"We don't have a whole day! There is still five more exercises to be completed!, " Shouted Karen floating from one person to the next.

Out of all, the best performing person was Spuk. He could now lift the boulder easily and quickly.

"Spuk, if you pass the upcoming strength test. You will be the leader!, " Said Karen while he came next to Spuk and looked at him.

"Yes, sir!, " Replied Spuk, after the process of strengthening. His mentality has matured and his personality has also changed.

From an energetic and naughty boy, he is now a calm and collective man.

"Good! Now everyone get ready to fly around the whole island with the boulders!, " Shouted Karen, floating up in the sky and keeping a watch on them.

King's Castle___

Maba came out on the balcony and saw how the future officers of Air Strike trained.

"Now all we need is the underwater submarines to be completed. Then we can move to phrase three, " Said Maba in a low voice, his eyes staring at the Town of Happiness.

"Oncy the World Government is down, Master will be the one to rule!, " Smiled Maba, his eyes glowed red while he was breathing slowly.

Turning around, Maba went inside the hall. There, many archeologists from the town were present.

They were studying the books brought from Ohara, mostly about the devil fruits and different languages.

"I want to know how to find those ancient weapons! If I don't get them in three years, none of you will be alive to see the sun in fourth year".

That was what Maba said before leaving the hall, all the archeologists had loads of sweat on their forehead.

Hell Realm___

The island has gone through a huge change, now it was not only about volcanoes and lava rivers.

Many new kinds of trees grew, unlike the dry and black coloured ones.

These were green and full of moisture absorbed by the water on the shores.

As for how the roots of the trees reached the shore, it was because of mutation.

The roots of these trees were spread throughout the whole island, gripping the soil tightly.

Maba brought many creatures to adapt here, but only the strongest survived.

Out of the surviving creatures, the experiments were also included.

Those experimented creatures were named CN-1, CN-2… and so on by the strength they showed.

Each one roamed in the new forest in Hell Realm, they also killed all the shelter people.

Well, it was like a blessing for the people in a certain way.

Heaven Realm___

Inside the White House, Akuma sat on his throne as his eyes looked at the woman in front.

"Hancock, what brings you here today?, " Asked Akuma with some confusion and curiosity in his black eyes.

"I came here to wish the Godfather to have a longer life with best health everyday. This here is the fruit juice from Boin Archipelago, " Said Hancock bowing towards Akuma and showing the very big bottle to him.

"Bring it here, " Said Akuma, nodding his head. It's been really a long time since he drank fruit juice.

Hancock stood up and brought the bottle to Akuma, who took it with his right hand.

As Akuma drank it, all of a sudden his mind was blown by the incredible taste of the fruit juice.

He finished it within a few gulps. Handing the bottle back to Hancock; he was satisfied and also very happy with it.

"Tell me, what do you need in exchange for this delicious fruit juice?, " Asked Akuma, even he knew how to show good will when he liked the gifts.

"Godfather, I have only a single wish! Please make me your daughter!, " Said Hancock with an excited tone and her eyes shining in stars.

Akuma closed his eyes and relaxed for a few moments, making Hancock's mind stiff.

"Hancock, Wholeheart Hancock doesn't sound bad to you right?, " Asked Akuma as he opened his eyes and stared at the shocked Hancock.

"N-No no, it sounds good!, " Said Hancock, coming back from her shock and shaking her head.

"Hm, " Akuma nodded his head, then leaned back on the throne slowly.

"Looks like I am getting a smaller sister, " The door opened and Bella walked in with heavy footsteps.

She looked at Hancock and then faced Akuma again. Bella walked till she reached the back of the throne.

"It's not your bedroom, Bella, " Said Akuma, not looking behind and her.

"But I like to sleep here, " Replied Bella, she rested on the wall behind the thorne and closed her eyes.

Her wings covering her body like a blanket and radiated heat.

From the time she woke up, Bella found the spot behind the throne as her sleeping spot.

At first, Akuma didn't say anything but later it became frequent that he started getting annoyed.

But as the time passed, Akuma grew used to it and also stopped complaining a lot.

"Hancock, you should start to increase the territory of Amazon Lily as much as you can, " Ordered Akuma becoming little serious as his eyes looked at Hancock.

"Yes, father!, " Hancock then left the White House, not forgetting to talk to Maba in the way to Amazon Lily.

Few months later, the New World had some fights including the Division Captains of Devil's Pirates.

The new bounties of the Division Captains also spread with a new force added to Devil's Pirates.

The Air Strike, Karen as the Chief-in-Command with Spuk as the leader of the Angel Officers.

The World Government got the reports of how Karen was like a natural disaster himself.

Placing so high bounty on his head was the proof of the danger that Karen had for the world.
