Simon POV - Blue Star, Grand Line, Nanatsu Isnds(Na) - 20 GAP

  I'm standing on the small rock at the ter of the ring formed by the Nanatsu Isnds, waiting for the st Gemstone o summon Na Isnd to finally arrive, and mutter with a grin on my face, "Just a little bit more... Just a little bit more... And I'll finally gain trol of Shushibaruba and thanks to its immense powers, I'll take my rightful pce as the King of this world ruling over all those inferior and imperfect beings!"

  Then I look at the five-cemstones lying on the ground in front of me, each Gemstones was taken from the ruins hidden on the six isnds that make up the Nanatsu Isnds Archipego ao me through the use of the birds under Din's trol.

  Then my gaze moves to the wriggling ade of paper sheets and I 't help but frown looking at it while thinking, 'This is a little more ing... even if I used Din's birds to send out rumors about the treasures hidden on the Nanatsu Isnds to lure many pirates here, I was only able to capture one of those imperfect Devil Fruit Users, and while it should be enough to awaken it, I don't think he will be enough to allow Shushibaruba to reach its full potential... I just hope that Zabal, Din, Marc, Gad, and the Précieuses were more petent than that failure of Niphtal...'

  But then I smirk and while shrugging my shoulders, I think, 'Oh well, even if they fail, I simply get rid of them ond for all. After all, Shushibaruba is basically already mine, and with it, I don't o care about those annoying dead weights any longer...'

  After that, I lht in front of me where a small, old, and dipidated temple stands right in the middle of this small piece of rock, it is a simple ical structure built fully in dark gray stone, and the temple is mostly empty inside, after all, anything that could be of value was already robbed many years ago leaving behind only the six stoatues of various animals sidered sacred for the a civilization, they are positioned in a circle formation and in such a way that eae of the statues perfectly looks at the dire of one of the six Nanatsu Isnds.

  While I'm looking at the small temple, I hear a water spshing sound from behind me, and turning my head I see Gad and his Précieuses jump out of the water and nd on the ground just behind me.

  They quickly kneel down and Gad starts his report, "Simon-sama, I, Emeraude, Rubis, and Saphir just arrived from Yo Isnd. As you see we have successfully recovered the Gemstone from the Yondo Ruins but unfortunately among the pirates attag the isnd there weren't any of the targets you have asked us to capture, only a bunch of lowly human Mariurned pirates."

  Hearing that, I click my tongue in annoyance before I quickly fix my expression and say, "Very well... Anyway, I was lucky enough to grab one of the imperfect myself on Mi Isnd, unfortunately I was a little bit too te and Niphtal lost his life at his hand while trying to capture him..."

  As expected of him, the foolish Fish-man Gad is angered by the loss of his panion, ches his fists, and mutters, "Danm it..." while I tinue, "Don't worry the man will pay for what he has done. Moreover, Niphtal's sacrifice took us oep further in bringing true sting peace to this world"

  At the same time, I show a benevolent smile while thinking, 'Right I'll bring peace to everyone as long as they praise and obey me, their rightful ruler. As only I that am born superior to everyone else rightfully rule over everyone and everything!'

  After spending some more time waiting, I hear Saphir as she excims, "Ne, Ne! I see one of our ships quickly approag us! It's Zabal-chi!"

  Hearing that, I turn around and take a look, and indeed, Zabal is standing on the head figure of the ship with a big grin on his face, more importantly, what raises my expectation a little more is that he is carrying a big, heavy sa his shoulders.

  Soon the ship stht o the small piece of rock we are all standing on, and quickly after that, Zabal jumps down and and says, "Oiya! I had some hiccups here and there, but it was still a successful hunt overall. As you see, I was able to easily grab the Gemstone from the Hitoma Cavern."

  At this point, Gad asks, "What about Marc? Where is he?" making Zabal spit on the ground as he replies, "I killed that fug useless piece of shit!" then befad could say anything else he adds, "He not only threw my whole pn in the drain, but he even shat on it making us lose more than 100 men! That fool started an all-out three-way battle against some pirate crews. Moreover, there were more than 5 Devil Fruit Users on Hi Isnd, but three of them were way too powerful food ol' me to do anything about them..."

  While saying that, Zabal carefully ys his sa the ground and opens it as he tinues, "...But luckily I was able to fool everyone and capture two of the weaker ones fixing the mess he caused."

  At the same time, seeing the tent of the sack, Rubis excims, "What the fuck Zabal!? Simon-sama said that we hem alive! This one is basically butchered! And what's up with that fug jar!?" I too am surprised as ihe sack, there is the body of a man cut into many small pieces and a jar that tains some kind of lic-colored syrup-like liquid.

  But soon Zabal expins, "Calm your tits, Rubis! Despite his unusual dition the man, whose name I already fot, is perfectly fine and alive, this is the result of the strange power of one of the other three Devil Fruit Users. Meanwhile, the jar tains the other Devil Fruit User whose power is to transform into that kind of liquid, but in that form, she is too weak to evehe frail gss that makes up this jar that imprisons her."

  As he says that, I 't help but take a closer look at the various body pieces scattered on the ground and notice that Zabal is right, none of the scattered body pieces are actually bleeding, and from their healthy color it is obvious that they are still alive as they tio slightly move and twitch from time to time, moreover, the chest area is clearly slowly rising and falling, following the pattern of the breath of an unscious person, and all that without talking about the detached head who is calmly sn on the ground.

  At the same time, Saphir, Rubis, Emeraude, and Gad also notice the same details and excim out loud in both amazement and disbelief, "What the..?", "Ehhhh!!?", "Oh my...!", "What kind of power is able to do such a thing?"

  Sometime after that, I once again heard the familiar birds' call ing from the distance, and looking at where the sound was ing from, I saw the usual sight of Din's flock of birds which was quickly heading toward as they carried the st of the Gemstone o summon the "unseen isnd" Na Isnd, the isnd hidden in the sky by the a civilization that sealed Shushibaruba.

  Soon the birds drop the Gemstht o the other five and after pleting their mission, they quickly disperse, scattering in many different dires.

  Finally having everything I need, I don't waste any more time, and quickly order Zabal, Gad, Saphir, Rubis, and Emeraude, "Quickly grab the Gemstones on the ground and e with me into the temple..." but a fused Gad asks me, "Wait, Simon-sama! Won't we wait for Din to return before-."

  Starting to get annoyed with his useless question, I snort out loud and say, "There is o wait for Din. I don't want to wait for him! I already waited too much time for this, and now that we are closer thao pleting our dream, I 't stand to waste any sed longer! More importantly, I don't want to waste my time on someone like Din! He did his part perfectly, and the best way to show him ratitude is to finally plete what we all have been aiming for! Peace for everyone in this world! Are we clear?"

  Seeing them all nod with reverence, I smile and start to head toward the small temple with a fident gait, at the same time, I say, "Good. Pick up the Gemstones and follow me."

  Onside the temple, I look once again at the six statues and mutter, "Now we have to be careful because for this to work we have to install the Gemstones in a very specific order, if we make even a single mistake the temple will bee inactive for the 100 years making it almost impossible for me to take trol of Shushibaruba..."

  After going over everything I have learned from that a scroll once more, I don't hesitate anymore and and full of tension, "Saphir take the Eye of Quicxic that we found on Itsu Isnd in the Gozan Ruins and install it iatue that is fag the north the exact dire in which Itsu Isnd be found, the ohat represents the Vulture."

  Saphir nods, and without aation, she grabs the bright e Gemstone and heads toward the Vulture Statue, then she installs the Eye of Quicxi the socket that be found in the middle of the pedestal, and in respohe eyes of the Vulture Statue briefly fsh in bright e light, showing that the instaltion is successful.

  Quickly after that, I take a deep breath and tih my instrus, "Rubis take the Eye of Ahalbu that Gad found on Yo Isnd in the Yondo Ruins and install it iatue that is fag the north-west, the dire in which Yo Isnd be found, the ohat represents the Catfish. Be quick! If too much time passes between the instaltion of these gemstohen the process will fail!"

  In response, Rubis snorts, grabs the bright red Gemstone, and heads toward the Catfish Statue, then she installs the Eye of Ahalbu in the socket that be found in the middle of the pedestal, and in respohe eyes of the Catfish Statue briefly fsh in bright red light, showing that this instaltion is also successful.

  More fident in the information I gathered thanks to the previous two successes, I tio give orders, "Emeraude take the Eye of Chamiapac that the te Nipthal found on Mi Isnd isukado Ruins and install it iatue that is fag south-east, the dire of Mi Isnd, the ohat represents the Deer, hurry!"

  Emeraude tenses up and nods then she grabs the bright greeone and heads toward the Catfish Statue, then she installs the Eye of Chamiapa the socket that be found in the middle of the pedestal, and in respohe eyes of the Catfish Statue briefly fsh in bright green light, showing that this instaltion is also successful.

  I grin forms on my faowing that half of the Gemstones are successfully installed, and then I tinue, "Yes, this is great! Zabal! is the Eye of Ahalmez that Din just sent us, the one he found on Fu Isnd iate Ruins! Install it iatue that is fag south, in the dire of Fu Isnd, the ohat represents the Snake, and for the love of god don't waste too much time!"

  Zabal chuckles, grabs the bright yellow Gemstone, and heads toward the Satue, then he installs the Eye of Ahalmez in the socket that be found in the middle of the pedestal, and in respohe eyes of the Satue briefly fsh in bright yellow light, showing that this instaltion is also successful.

  My grin transforms into a fident smile as I excim, "Good! Good! Good! We are very close now! Very close!" then I give my instrus, "Gad! Grab the Eye of Xiquiripat, the ohat Zabal found on Hi Isnd ioma Cavern! Quick bright it to the Turtle Staute over there, the ohat faces south-west, you already know just like the others that is the dire of Hi Isnd!"

  Gad smiles, grabs the bright sky-blue Gemstone, and heads toward the Turtle Statue, then he installs the Eye of Xiquiripat in the socket that be found in the middle of the pedestal, and in respohe eyes of the Turtle Statue briefly fsh in bright sky-blue light, showing that this instaltion is also successful.

  With that I don't hesitate anymore, I quickly grab the deep blue Gemstone while thinking, 'The Eye of Quicré, the first Gemstone I recovered, the one found on Mu Isnd in the Rokkaku Cavern, whose entrance is now covered by the Fortress of Zahado I built as our headquarters. With this and those three Devil Fruit Users, I'll finally gain trol over Shushibaruba and with its immense power I'll bee the King of this world and create the perfect world... A peaceful world where everyone will equally stand on their knees, worshipping, obeying, and satisfying all my orders, whims, and wishes. Human, Giants, Fish-men, Minks, it doesn't matter, everyone will be equally beh me how it should be!!'

  With that thought, I don't waste any more time aoward the st statue the ohat faorth-east, in the exact same dire as the biggest isnd of the Nanatsu Isnds Archipego, Mu Isnd, the ohat represents the Jaguar.

  I walk toward the Jaguar Statue and quickly install the Eye of Quicré in the specific socket that be found in the middle of the pedestal, and as soon as I install it, the Jaguar Statue eyes briefly fsh in a deep blue light.

  After that, I take a step bad wait, for a moment nothing else happens, and I'm starting to worry that I made a mistake somewhere, but just as I start to get anxious, all six of the statues start to glow in the colors of the Gemstones, and such glow starts to quickly expand way beyond the statues mixing together into a multicolored light and soohe floors and the walls are glowing.

  Seeing that, I started to ugh out loud while yelling, "Fuhahaha! It works! It works!! It works!!! e on, guys! Let's get out of here and admire the dest of the mythical seventh isnd!"

  Following my order, we all walk out of the old ical temple and watch as it tio glow in a multicolored light that gets more and more intense, until, all of a sudden, the temple releases a thick, blinding beam of multicolored light which pierces the sky hitting a thick mass of white clouds right above us.

  Soon after that, the beam of multicolored fades away and the small, old temple returns to its normal state as it has fulfilled its fun, but the spectacle it has just started as Saphir excims, "Ne, ne! Look, Gad! That cloud is falling!!"

  Indeed, a big portion of the cloud above us is slowly desding, it is about the size of Itsu Isnd, maybe just a bit bigger, and the closer it gets to the sea, the easier is for us to notice what exists on top of that cloud, it is an isnd, an isnd full of mountains and with a thick forest all over its area, no sign of civilization be seen.

  Seeing that, I smile brightly and decre, "Fuhahaha! This is it! I present to you all the mythical seventh "unseen isnd" of the Nanatsu Isnds Archipego, the Na Isnd! The pce where Shushibaruba rests waiting for someoo awaken it from its long sleep in exge for its immense power! And of course, that someone will be us!"

  We tio watch as Na Isnd slowly tis dest from the sky until it gently settles into the sea right in front of the small rock we are standing on, geing little to no waves.

  Seeing that, I immediately and, "Zabal, Gad, Saphir, Rubis, and Emeraude! Quickly grab those imperfect beings tured and follow me! It is finally time to awaken Shushibaruba! With its power, we won't have to fear the tyrannical Wover anymore and I'll finally take my rightful pce as the King of this world, bringing a true sting peace to everyone!"

  Hearing my orders, they don't hesitate and quickly start to pick up the captured Devil Fruit Users, Gad picks up the co of paper sheets that tains that merary called Eric, Saphir picks up the jar taining the syrup-like liquid Devil Fruit User, and Zabal grabs the sack taining the still alive Devil Fruit User despite being cut into many pieces, and after that, we all head toward Na Isnd, searg for Shushibaruba's resting pce, the Ku Sivan ruins, and more specifically the Nu Sivan Kuru chamber in the depths of the ruins where the seventh and true treasure, Shushibaruba, is hidden.

  Koby POV - Blue Star, Grand Line, Nanatsu Isnds - 20 GAP

  After our enter with the Fish-man Gad, and the three Fish-women, Saphir, Rubis, and Emeraude, I and Alvida-san quickly helped the people of Yo Isnd giving them some basic first aid and finding temporary shelter while the able-bodied started to fix the building damaged by the battle.

  After that, Alvida-san basically dragged me back to her ship and told me to lead her to Jayr-san, and so, we are now on our way toward Mu Isnd, the pce that Jayr-san chose to focus on si is the isnd the Simon Pirates chose to use as their main base and the most likely location where Simon be found.

  The ship we are using isn't the old Miss Love Duck, the ship I risoner before when Alvida-san captured me and forced me to be her chore boy, no, it is a smaller and mile single mast ship, ohat be trolled by even a single person.

  The entire ship is shaped like a heart in design, it has hearts that encircle the entire ship across the sides, in pce of a Jolly Roger on the sail, it has eight hearts in a line, another indication that Alvida-san truly left her pirate life behind, it also has a small table on one end of the ship, moreover, it is clear that the interior has only enough living space for one, maybe two people, making it obvious that only Alvida is using this ship.

  As we sail toward our destination, Alvida-san showers me with questions about Jayr-san wanting to know more about the man who defeated her and with whom she somehow also fell madly in love.

  Finding nothing wrong with it I start to answer eae of her questions as holy as possible, especially since even if she doesn't have good iions, there is nothing that Alvida-san do against Jayr-san and his family, but more importantly, for as absurd and surprising this situation is, I truly feel that her feelings for Jayr-san are genuine.

  So as I trol the ship, I also start to answer Alvida-san's questions o a time, I tell her about Jayr-san's medical skills, and about his lovers.

  Talking about, Seika-san, Saori-san, Tio-san, and Eri-san, and their retionship with Jayr-san I'm surprised by Alvida-san's reaore specifically, ck of one, as she didn't show any anger nor jealousy as she listeo what I told her.

  The fusion on my face is so clear that Alvida-san herself says, "Ara ara... Do you truly find my ess so surprising? My man already holy told me that he had 4 beautiful lovers in our first enter..."

  Hearing that, I suddenly remember what happehat fateful day that ged our lives forever and realize that she told me the truth, 'Ah! That's right! That day when Jayr-san nded on the Miss Love Duck, Alvida-san invited him to spend an "enjoyable" time with her, but then he refused... Wait! Now that I think about it, Jayr-san also said that Alvida-san had the potential to bee just as beautiful as his girlfriend if she took better care of herself... At that time, I thought he had a few screws loose, but seeing the current Alvida-san, I have to admit that he was once again right... as expected of Jayr-san...'

  While I'm thinking that, at the same time, Alvida-san tinues her expnation, "... And I also clearly remember that he said that he didn't mind having me by his side as I'm just as beautiful as his lovers, but he simply couldn't accept me because of his dislike for evil people who harmed is and so he had tretfully let me go..." makiernally ent, 'ly how I remember it went as I clearly remember that, at the time, Jayr-san also called her "fugly", but it is mostly right...'

  Meanwhile, Alvida-san smiles brightly and says, "... But now everything is different! After my defeat at his hand, I decided that he was the only one handsome and strong enough to be my man and that I would do anything to make him mine no matter what! And to do that I had to ge a little! That is also why I decided to quit pirad bee a bounty hunter while also helping as many people as possible." after saying that, Alvida-san spreads her arms wide and decres, "And now I'm not only the most beautiful woman among these seas! But also the most generous, loyal, and reliable! It is only a matter of time before Jayr bees my man!"

  Hearing that, I 't help but question what is actually going on, 'I still 't believe that Alvida-san ged so much... she was such a scary, cruel, and ruthless pirate... well, actually, she isn't that much different, she is still like that, especially to those she deems her enemies like those fake marine she sughtered ba Yo Isnd, but at the same time, I saw her fight to protect defenseless people without aation, and while she still has the same level of fidence as before, it is truly baffling just how much someone ge for love... that old saying I heard i Blue is true, love is truly a hurrie!'

  While I'm thinking that, I 't help but smile wryly and ent, "Indeed, Alvida-san ged a lot since our st enter, I almost thought it was a different person altogether..."

  But quickly after that, Alvida-sas, "Ara ara... The same be said about you, boy. You too also went through ahshattering ge from the st time I saw you. The chubby, weak-looking, scared brat that was my chore boy is gone and in his pce, there is a lean, strong, brave young man... I truly 't imagine what you went through to ge so much..."

  Hearing that, I scratch my cheek in embarassment as I reply, "Well, Jayr-san trained me... I was so hard that I thought that I would die many times, but Jayr-san was always beside me thoughtout everything ready to help me when I needed..."

  At this point, I tell her about some of the things I went through in my training, but all of the sudden, I hear Alvida-san gasp in surprise, hearing that, I look at her ahat her gaze is locked on in a particur dire.

  I turn my head in the same dire, and see a beautiful, bright multicolored pilr of light pierg the sky, soon after, the pilr of light fades away, and a few moments ter, something unimaginable happens, a big cloud detaches and starts to desd from the sky, then, as the cloud ti desd, I notice that standing on top of the could is actually an isnd, an isnd just as big as Itsu Isnd, maybe slightly bigger.

  Just as I'm looking incredulous at the desding isnd, I hear Alvida-san's voice as she says, "Koby, quickly head toward that isnd! Whatever is happening over there is important and for sure my man is also heading there now!"

  Odyin
