Chapter 240: I Didn't Do Anything
"Did you notice that my slap is getting harder and harder? Two of your teeth are about to fall off. Now imagine how much damage my full power slap can do. Do we have an understanding?" Alexander warned him.
Saint Notarin nodded, "Yes,"
*SLAP*
"I told you to keep your mouth shut. Do you understand?" Alexander repeated himself.
"Yes,"
Saint Notarin was too dumb to realize that he was not supposed to speak. So it took him 5 more slaps and 10 teeth lost to understand what was going on.
Meanwhile, now Saint Notarin was planning to tell everything to the five elders as soon as he reached Mary Geoise and get Alexander punished.
After a short trip, they reached the Red Port. It was the official way to cross the red line. It was present on both sides of it. However, people needed the approval of the world government and pay a fee to cross it. Not to mention they'd have to get a new ship on the other side.
This was another ploy by the world government, according to Alexander. This way they managed to segregate the world in half with nearly no way to go to the other side except by using more dangerous routes. What a convenient way to make sure there is no world revolution against them.
They deboarded the ship and saw some Mary Geoise guards come with a giant man crawling on four limbs, tied in metal chains with a collar around his neck.Alexander stopped smiling at the scene. He could see tears continuously dropping from the man's eyes. Alexander couldn't believe how humans treat one another like that.
Alexander stopped time for a while and walked to Saint Notarin.
*SLAP X5*
Saint Notarin was shocked and terrified but then he saw that no one reacted to what happened. Nearly all of his teeth had fallen and his face had swollen up. Alexander then put an illusion on his face to make him look normal.
"Nobody will see anything. I have stopped the time. Now, I want you to free that slave, or I will kill you." Alexander threatened.
Saint Notarin shivered in fear, "W-What... How?"
"Will you do it or not?"
"Yes yes... I will release him... please no more slaps."
Suddenly time resumed, Saint Notarin quickly commanded, "Guards, remove the chains from Slave 3. He is free from now."
Saint Notarin's words shocked the guards too much. This was the first time they saw a Celestial Dragon doing this.
But they didn't ask questions and quickly removed the chains,
"Dobby, take this man to my ship and give him some food," Alexander instructed
After that was done they went up with the elevator. Once they came to the long stairs Saint Notarin started complaining about climbing them.
But a nudge from Alexander shut him up. As they were climbing suddenly a huge chunk of red rock from the sides fell off and came to them rolling.
All the guards stepped aside in time but Saint Notarin was too fat and was hit brutally by it. His ribcage surely had broken. But that was not it, his body rolled down the stairs towards the platform.
Alexander instantly put him in a million-year-long Time Torture in which he died in thousands of ways. One of them was being forced to cut his body parts and eat them slowly, that thing lasted for 20 percent of his torture.
Finally, he fell down from it. The platform was six to seven thousand meters high so when Saint Notarin's body reached the town on the ground, his body splashed like jelly. Recognizing who just fell was impossible. His Time Torture had ended so he felt all the fear and dread while falling and died with a scream.
The moment the guards realized what happened, all hell broke loose. They rushed to the platform and down with the elevator. Alexander also did the same and followed them relaxingly. Loud sirens started to sound throughout the area.
Alexander took out his Den Den Mushi and informed Kong, "Ah, yes, King Kong, I was on my way to Mary Geoise and an accident happened. Saint Notarin fell from the Red Line and died.
On the other side, Kong stood up in shock, "What?... What do you mean died? Take him to the hospital."
"Aaa... That would not be possible. His body turned into a paste, I don't think a doctor can fix this." Alexander uninterestingly replied while looking at the unrecognizable meat blob on the ground.
"You just stay right there, I am coming." Kong hung up and probably ran for the fastest ship.
Alexander went to a nearby shop and ordered some food while he waited. The death of a Celestial Dragon was a pretty big thing.
"Nice play, boss," Dobby commented.
"Haha... I don't even know what you're talking about, Dobby. Here, taste this, this cake is awesome." He handed him a plate.
Little by little the crowd was increasing at Saint Notarin's landing site. He also felt Kong coming from his observation Haki and headed out.
Kong was probably in too much anger and had forgotten that his rank didn't make him stronger than Alexander, he came to him and tried to punch Alexander. Alexander simply grabbed his fist with his arm tightly.
He purposely made him feel pain, "Should I consider this an attempt on my life by the Marines and the World Government?"
Kong quickly snapped out of his anger and realized who he was messing with.
"No, that was just me. How did you let this happen? You could have saved him." Kong asked him.
"King Kong, you know even you can't survive that fall. Why would I risk my own life for that? Also, everything happened so fast that I couldn't do anything."
"Goddammit, Universe. We both know you are bullshitting. I can't do anything about this case, it's up to CP0 to investigate and Five Elders to decide." Kong told him.
Alexander started walking away, "Good then, I'm going back on my duty. Don't have as much free time as you."
He returned to the ship and came to the slave he had just freed. The man was too traumatized to say anything so he had to give him some healing potions.
"I-I just wanna go home... Please let me go..." The man cried.
"Where is your home, big man? I will take you there." He offered.
"Really? It's in Loguetown on Polestar Island."
"Alright, I'll take you there. Don't worry. Just relax now, they will not come for you anymore."
Alexander left him in the room and came out, "Bald Chad, to Loguetown."
"I can't believe I'm saying this but things are even worse than Sakaar here." Blue Fang interjected.
"At least slaves on Sakaar weren't made to do things like being someone's horse. At least you had the option to die in the arena." He added.
"That is why the world's purity is just 30%. I also feel a lot of demonic presence here but I don't know if it's real demons or because of a devil fruit. Alright, I need to do some tests. We need to find a devil fruit." He told them.
"But don't we already have one?" Dobby asked.
"That vacuum power was very dangerous and I want to keep that fruit with me. We'll find some harmless devil fruit for experiments later."
"Let's try some auction houses in Loguetown," Dobby suggested.
...
They reached Loguetown in 3 months. It mainly took this much time because it was at the other end of Paradise in the Grand Line. It was also very close to reverse mountain so most of the pirates stopped there to stock up.
In these months the former slave became better and finally told Alexander his name and tale. His name was Riva Bronze. He used to be a chef of a small pirate group but they were attacked by the Marines and captured. Due to his size, he wasn't sent to Judiciary island for a trial but to become a slave.
All because Saint Notarin took a liking to him and made him his human seat. He has a daughter and a wife in Loguetown. But he doesn't know how they'd be because he initially became a pirate because he owed money to a local gangster. He had paid back but was still anxious as to what might have happened to them while he was missing.
They came into the city and looked for Riva's wife and daughter. Alexander first asked for a description of them from Riva and then looked with his Observation Haki.
He could only see one woman matching the features. She was working in a bar serving drinks.
"I think I found her," Alexander told him.
Riva joyfully cheered, "where?"
"Umm... At a bar called Gold Roger Bar." Alexander said.
"I know that place, follow me." Riva ran into a street.
Alexander and Dobby followed him behind. "See Dobby, that's why I like to roam in disguises. Look, the whole street is empty just because an Admiral is here. Can't an Admiral just enjoy his day?"
"Hehe... Maybe they just haven't seen a lazy and nice Admiral like you."
"Why do I feel like you are mocking me?" Alexander suspiciously looked at him.
"You are imagining stuff, Boss."
They saw Riva running into a bar which they guessed was Gold Roger Bar.
Alexander entered the place, but his entrance gained a lot of attention. Everyone stopped eating or drinking. The only noise that was coming was from Riva and his wife.
"I'm back, Rose. I'm finally back. I was captured by the Celestial Dragon but they released me." He told her.
Rose had tears in her eyes as she hugged him, "I knew you'd come back. I waited for you all these years. Our little Kate has also grown. She misses you."
"Yes, I will always be with you and Kate now. All thanks to Admiral Universe. He brought me back here. He is a very kind man." Riva pointed at Alexander.
Suddenly everyone in the bar started to look at Alexander. "Dammit, you all. Can't I enjoy a drink without your constant eyeing me? Concentrate on your food."
Alexander's light warning did wonders and everyone started eating like they were in a military camp. Alexander walked to the counter and took a seat beside a mustached man wearing a straw hat.
