Dragon Sorcerer In One Piece

Chapter 44 - Plans and New Mission

"Now that we took care of the traitor, I would like to go over the plans for our new trade with the Yonkos. But first, I would like to meet tomorrow since I summoned most of you without proper clothing. Gild Tesoro, do you mind if we can use your resort island for our meeting tomorrow? Of course, I will pay for all the expenses." Hades asks Gild Tesoro since everything others need is already here on this island.

"Yes, Hades. I welcome you all to my resort and give you all a tour of my project when we have time after." Gild Tesoro said with a wicked smile as he wants to show off his wealth to others. He wants to prove to others that he is much more worthy than Du Feld as the Emperor of Fortune and Finance. He then rings the bell to summon his butlers and maids to escort each emperor to VIP rooms. When it was Hades's turn, he turned around before leaving the restaurant to give something to Gild Tesoro.

"As you show your hospitality, I will give you mine. Here take this and let your girls apply it to your brand on your back. I promise you that you won't regret it." Hades said as he gave a small green jar, this is the same cream that Hades used years ago to heal and remove the slave brand, the Lotion of Healing.

"Thank you, I will repay your kindness with my utmost royalty." Gild Tesoro accepts the lotion and sees Hades leave the restaurant with the maids. Now knowing Hades, Gild Tesoro is certain that he would live to see another day, unlike his unfortunate partner in crime. On the bright side, he will have the King of the Underworld finance his project, Gran Tesoro, the giant resort cruise ship made out of gold.

'This was one hell of an interesting afternoon, I wonder what kind of devilish things Hades will bring in the future.' Thinking this, Gild Tesoro left the restaurant with two beautiful women on both of his arms and headed towards his private room.

Meanwhile, Location: Unknown,

"HELP! Anybody! I'm stuck here in this rock, HELP!" Du Feld screams his voice out as he is standing on a small island made out of rock outcropping high above the sea (Similar rock kid Sanji and Red Leg Zeff was on before rescue). After the giant crab man dragged him into the shadow he lost his consciousness but when he woke up he was in the middle of the island with nothing but few torches and small wood matches.

The island is made out of some sort of volcanic rock as there was no vegetation and trees, but there is a small cave Du Feld can use as a shelter to protect himself from the weather. The rock is high enough that no one can fish for food or swim away as the ocean violently slams into the island. In short, this is a perfect prison for a single person or two as there is no way to escape unless you have a big ship or have the ability to fly.

"You look like you're in a pinch, Du Feld." From Du Feld's back, a familiar voice said as the ocean suddenly calmed down and went silent. Du Feld quickly turned around to see Hades himself seating at the top of the small cave with a small backpack next to him.

"Hades, please, I learn my lesson. Please let me leave this island. I will follow your order without question and work diligently as Emperor of Finance." Du Feld got to his knees as he begged Hades to return him to civilization.

"No, you will spend the rest of your natural life here. Do not expect a rescue, since you are in the middle of the Calm Belt. No servants, no luxury food or bed, no one to talk to and no one to use your influence against their will, nothing but Sea Kings and ocean breeze for you to enjoy." Hades said to Du Feld as he tossed the large bag to him. Du Feld hesitated to open the bag, so Hades ensured him that it wasn't a trap.

"That is your supply. Food and basic needs for the traitors like you to survive here in my private prison island. It will be your monthly ration, so consume it carefully, I don't want you to die off quickly after all. Oh, before I forget. Gild Tesoro got your position as Emperor of Finance, so do not worry about it. With new deals with Yonkos, I'm sure he will bring more fortune than you will ever be able to do." Hades said to Du Feld as he stands up to leave the island. He will leave one Ninja Khan to watch Du Feld make sure he won't commit suicide or escape his prison.

"No! Please, let me serve you, I have a few secret loans that I didn't write in my ledger. They are worth millions, you can have it. Please." Du Feld once again begged Hades using his secret stash of loans. It was for his personal emergency use as right now is an emergency for Du Feld.

"Oh, that? I already know about those loans. Before you woke up, I managed to retrieve all your secrets and financial knowledge using my ability. This means you are completely useless to me since I know everything and owns everything you possess." Hades gave an evil smile to Du Feld as he pulled out a single cigar from his suit and tossed it to Du Feld.

"Consider this my final gift to you since you taught me various things about money and how to manage it." With that, Hades teleports away, leaving Du Feld all alone in the rock island as the ocean once again violently makes a sound.

"No! Don't leave me here! PLEASE TAKE ME WITH YOU!" Du Feld once again shouted with all his might but no one could hear his desperate plea.

Next day, Gild Tesoro's Resort Island,

In the grand luxurious meeting room, all Five Emperors of the Underworld and King of the Underworld are currently discussing the details of trade deals with Yonkos. Thanks to Hades's effort and success with each Yonko, there is tons of work to do to make a stable network in each of Whitebeard's territory.

After four hours of meeting, each emperor has their new assignments from Hades and to create a new network of the black market and other establishments in the New World. But, Mermaid island and few other islands are given certain limits due to Whitebeard's rule. This meant emperors couldn't make or buy warehouses or other establishments to allow their workers to live on the island.

Each Emperor's assignments:

Umit will create a new fleet of sh.i.p.s and provide transportation of new goods to each island. Using the secret routes by the Red Hair Pirates, there won't be any need for sea stones under the ship or intercept by Navy patrol or inspection, saving money on bribing the Navy commanders.

Giberson will work with Umit to establish a warehouse for each of the islands in the New World. After establishing the warehouse and trade network, Giberson will provide the monthly income report to Gild Tesoro for accounting.

Gild Tesoro will track and maintain each of the financial accounts and distribute the money to each of the emperors and Hades. He will of course make sure each Yonkos and World Nobles receive their portion of money and goods to prevent their wrath.

Morgans will use his information spies to prevent any leak within the organization. This means no one will inform outsiders about secret sea routes or new massive income to the government.

Lastly, Stussy will send her girls to Wano Country to learn about their culture and ways of Orian and Geisha to manipulate and influence men. At the same time, Stussy will send skilled workers to learn about smelting and crafting Wano swords. Meanwhile, Stussy will establish a p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e house on certain islands to send her girls when they are ready.

After the meeting, Hades sends Morgans, Umit and Giberson back to their home. Before Giberson left, he informed him that he acquired a few items Hades ordered him a month ago and it is ready to be picked up.

For Morgans, Hades promised him that he will do the interview when the world is ready to meet Hades. To do this, Hades must show it to the world his strength and reputation as a King of the Underworld to both the Navy and Pirates. There are two ways to do this; the first one is to slowly influence and plant the seed of fear in the world, which takes many years and effort to bear fruit. The second one is very quick and very effective compared to the first one, which is gaining a bounty high enough that everyone will fear.

In the world of One Piece, a bounty is a show of status not just for pirates but for infamous criminals. Drug Peclo had a bounty of 110 million berries while he was the Emperor of the Bounty Hunter and Assassin. So, in the other words, a bounty is more like a resume or credential for Pirates and other criminals in the One Piece world.

"I'll think about it before interviewing you. I like to make grand entrances in a way that will shock the world." Hades told Morgans and sent him away using his Ninja Khan.

Finally, it was Stussy's turn to go back home but, instead of sending her away with Ninja Khan, Hades teleported her and himself to Stussy's island.

"Stussy, we have a few things to discuss. Since this is your island I'm sure it is secure to talk in private?" Hades asks Stussy as he takes an empty chair to seat.

"Of course it is secure, but what is it you want to talk about my king?" Stussy took another empty chair as she sat down. She thought Hades would ask certain girls for their service or information on a high-level target but what came next is something she didn't expect or see it coming at all.

"I would like to learn more about Cipher Pol and their current operation. I'm asking this because I know you are CP0 and currently working as an undercover." Hades said with a gentle smile on his face but, his eyes told a different story as he was giving Stussy a warning. A warning not to attack or escape because there is no way for her to survive once she does the act.

With an icy chill running down from her back, Stussy stopped herself from jumping away from her chair as she knew she would end up in the same fate as Du Feld if she did. It took a few minutes for her to calm herself before she regained her posture.

"How long did you know I was CP0?" She carefully asked Hades as Hades was pouring a bottle of whiskey into two glass cups.

"I knew you were CP0 before I showed myself to you and other emperors a few months ago. Let just say Drug Peclo did his research more thoroughly than your girls could ever do. Don't worry about it, I will keep your secret as long as you put your loyalty on me before the World Government." Hades lied to Stussy as he didn't want her to know how he knew in her dream. This way, Stussy would think naturally without knowing Hades's part in Stussy's dream and changing her personality.

"I'm no longer loyal to the World Government even though I'm still their spy. I decided to use them just like how they used me as a heartless killer until I have no use for them." Stussy told Hades her true intention as CP spy as she grabbed the glass cup to drink.

"That is a very bold statement coming from elite CP0. I will hold you to that word, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I don't fully trust you, yet." Hades drank from his cup as he told her. In truth, Hades knows Stussy is royal to him because he made sure that she will remain loyal no matter what.

"Trust me, I have no intention of going back to World Government and those World Nobles. They make me sick to my stomach whenever I remember the inhumane cruel act they committed to innocent people. I've decided to fully immerse as Queen of P.l.e.a.s.u.r.e and work under you as one of the Emperors of the Underworld. So, what can this humble servant serve the king?" Stussy asks Hades as she pours another cup of whiskey to refill Hades's cup and hers.

"I want current information on all CP agents and their operations. Soon, the World Government will fully learn about me and become a threat to my empire. I want to weaken them before they have a chance to do anything to me or my subordinates, this includes you as well." With that, Hades drank from his cup as he waited for her answer. It didn't take that long as Stussy gave her answer immediately.

"That won't be a problem as long as you keep your word on protecting me from World Government. Now, this is everything I know about Cipher Pol agents and their current operations around the world." Stussy grabs a map from the table and shows Hades everything she knows about CPs operations and their missions.
