I was enjoying a nice afternoon talking with my precious son until some lowly pirates decided to interrupt our talk. I already hated it when someone interrupts me, but it was so much worse when I'm talking with my son about our heritage.
Even though I'm no longer a Celestial Dragon, I still have their blood flowing through me and their special status, though definitely not on the level it once was. And being a Celestial Dragon is something I'm not ashamed of.
Although most of my brethren are rather disgusting to look at, the highest-ranking members are different. We are nothing like those disgusting pigs who gallivant around like they own the world.
There is a reason why the Celestial Dragons have been ruling the world for more than 800 years. It's simply because those of us who are higher up on the hierarchy are taught to be smart and strong. It's because of them, those low-ranking flies are allowed to enjoy their privileges.
I wanted to show Achilles', not all Celestial Dragons were the despicable pieces of trash that most believe us to be. That there was still good within some of us, like his great-great-grandpa and some of the important figures within the WG. I wanted him to understand his kind's history and past. So he doesn't make the same mistakes as we all did.
" Though it seems like that's not happening today," I said to myself whilst sighing a little. I continued walking until I reached the shore of the island. Where there were about 60 pirates disembarking from their ship.
I couldn't recognize the Jolly Roger of the crew, so I just figured it was a brand new pirate crew. Even if they were some famous pirates in the North Blue or some other pirate from the grandline, I still wouldn't care as such weaklings aren't even worthy of licking my shoes.
' Now that I think about it, it's been more than five years since I last fought against anyone. I suppose it's time for me to bare my fangs once again.' I was feeling quite happy about that fact whilst I was walking up to the pirates, which stopped them in their tracks before they could reach any closer to the mainland of the island.
" Good afternoon, gentlemen, would you please explain your purpose on this island?" I asked the pirates hoping they would attack me, so I could kill all of them… no rather so I could watch them suffer before I could kill them.
My husband might have been a former pirate but that doesn't mean I like pirates. No, rather I found that most pirates were disgusting vile creatures that should be burned alive. Pirates and those low-ranking Celestial Dragons are no better than each other. Both were vermin that the world would be better off without.
I didn't realize it but I had a crazy smile on my face, scaring most of the pirates.
"Gagagagaga… you idiots didn't tell me they would be such a beauty on this island."
" How about becoming my wife?"
" Being on this island must be boring"
" I'll give you the greatest pleasure you can ever experience"
" So how about it? You can become the wife of a man worth $20 million berries."
The Captain of the crew said to me with a creepy look on his face, or what most what have found creepy, I just found it annoying. The rest of his crew just watched and laughed along with their idiot of a Captain.
" Fafafafa, it's been a long time since mongrels dared to say such things to me. But I'm afraid you would need a much, much higher bounty if you would want me to take you even remotely seriously." I said to the Captain, mocking the bounty he's so proud of.
" Woman, you're funny, I like you. There's no need to put up a brave front, just come and join me."
" Heck, do you any of you guys even know anyone with a bounty that much higher than my own?" The captain asked his crew laughing at something which I didn't find amusing.
* Sigh*
" I hope lowlifes like yourselves can at least entertain me," I said to them getting bored with the dialogue.
Having enough of their annoying little chatter I sent a blast of my conqueror's haki towards them. I made sure it wasn't enough to knock them out, but rather petrify them to their very soul. Seeing the terrified looks on their faces awakened something in me that I haven't felt in ages. That desire for blood.
" What's the matter?"
" Where did all the bravado from a minute ago?"
I said to the Captain and his crew with a small smile on my face, enjoying the terror on their faces as they hoped to comprehend something which they never will. As this would be their last day, no their last minute on this planet.
" What was that? Some kind of devil fruit?"
The Captain asked in fright backing away from me in terror. I just laughed at him, making him order his men to start shooting at me. Probably due to feeling fear and anger from what he assumed to be just a mere woman.
As they kept shooting at me, I dodged all the bullets without even using observation haki. I also made sure to move at the last moment before the bullets could hit me to frighten them even more.
" Now you've had your fun, it's my turn now so make sure to keep me entertained, mongrels," I said to them after seeing they ran out of bullets. I decided to use my devil fruit which I haven't used in ages.
My body slowly transformed into a lion with the head of a cat. Falcon wing sprouted out of my body. My only remaining arm transformed into the hands of a lion with massive claws. In a few seconds, my body transformed into a 15 feet tall legendary Sphinx cracking the ground below me a little.

' Oh, it feels so good to use this form again. This surge of pure power flowing through my veins.'
" Now… don't get scared, mongrels. I'm gonna let you all experience the power of a mythical zoan, you should be glad you get to die to such a beautiful creature" I said while dashing towards them in my full beast form. I swiped my claws at one of the pirates, instantly ripping apart the head from the body.
There was a large gust of wind accompanying my claws due to the force I was using whilst swinging them around.
That terrified the pirates to the point where I smelled one of the pirates shitting himself. After that, all of the remaining pirates tried to run back to their ship, falsely thinking that I would allow my prey to escape from me.
" Why are you running?"
" Are you that pathetic that because you thought I was a weak woman you put up a brave face, but now that I'm something beyond your puny comprehensive abilities you turn tail and run. How pitiful, you should at least embrace your death and not run like a coward"
I shouted in pure joy. I flew over to the top of the ship before the pirates could reach it. I sent an air slash with my right claws cutting the ship in half.
The ship started sinking to the bottom of the sea in a few minutes ruining all hopes for the pirates.
" Fafafaf… did you idiots think I would honestly let you alive that moment you landed on this island?"
I said to the lowlifes landing back to the ground. The Captain even started bugging me, telling me he was kidding about what he said about me marrying him.
The great-granddaughter to an Elder Star, the successor to the position of an Elder Star, the former heir to one of the five highest-ranking families in the world, and the wife of Chiron D. Spade.
" Answer my question truthfully and I'll let you live."
" Tell me what you planned to do to me if I said no to being your wife?"
I asked the Captain with a cheerful expression on my face.
" I didn't plan on doing anything, I swear to God. Please let me live." The Captain replied with tears running down his face.
" You lied"
" I will give you one more chance if you can answer my riddle correctly, if you do I'll let you live."
I said to him in a cold voice as a giant shadowy figure appeared behind me. The giant shadow had a closed-door in its stomach. And a clock on top of its head
" Riddle me this, there's a one-story house where everything is yellow. The walls are yellow. The doors are yellow. All the furniture is yellow. The house has yellow beds and yellow couches. What color are the stairs?"
I asked the riddle to the Captain. The clock on top of the giant started ticking. "You have to answer within one minute", I said to the idiot of a Captain. Everyone else was frozen in due to my ability. Had they been at my level, they would be able to move but they still wouldn't be able to stop the riddle ritual at all. After all, no human can stop the gates of hell from opening.
Only those who are above my strength can stop the gate from dragging them to hell. And well let's just say people who are stronger than me are very few in this world.
" IT'S YELLOW," The vermin of a Captain shouted with not-so-hidden desperation in his voice.
" Fafafafa… I'm afraid you're wrong."
I said to him while the door in the shadowy figure behind me opened. A giant hand came out of it and started dragging the man inside it.
" Stop, please I'm begging you, I'll do anythi-!" The Captain screamed while being dragged in the air by the giant hand. Soon his screams stopped after he was dragged inside the door. Once he was inside the gate, the giant shadow behind me disappeared as well.
[Gates To Hell]
" Now it's time to finish the rest of you off," I said with a crazy voice. Before they could answer, I ran towards them. I instantly killed three of them with a single claw attack.
I ripped another pirate in half while biting off someone's head with my fangs. After a few minutes, I killed off all the pirates that dared to land on my island.
' Oh, dear it seems like I lost myself in excitement. It's quite hard to control the carnivorous desire of a mythical zoan after all.'
" Achilles, do you think you could hide from your dear mother," I said to my son who I sensed was hiding behind a tree.
