Chapter 4 - 4: Settling in and the Banquet

After the healing of Boa Hancock, the Empress surprisingly asked Tamaki to stay on the island.

To say Tamaki was shocked was an understatement.

A woman who despises men for obvious reasons allowed the Uchiha clan to settle on the Maiden Island. An island that had a ruling where no men were allowed to step foot on and would be killed.

Tamaki didn't do anything besides heal her.

The feeling of love, Tamaki cannot think of how she would develop them

Luffy punched a Celestial Dragon, so it was understandable why Hancock loved Luffy.

Anyone could have got rid of the marks on the three sisters, but they were too prideful in asking someone.

Monsherry had the healing fruit. Tamaki had that thought but flagged it aside.

After showing his gratitude, Tamaki informed Hancock of the background of the Uchiha clan.

He told her everything from the time of the sage of six paths, to the time of the Senju and Uchiha rivalry, and finally to how betrayal was what awaited the clan if they go back.

Tamaki told her the details of chakra and how it is. What surprised Tamaki was how Hancock couldn't feel the chakra when Tamaki presented it to her.

The Tycoon system he received informed him how chakra would be fine in this world, yet these people may not feel the chakra the Uchiha possess. Maybe because they don't have it in their system, so the energy doesn't mean anything to them.

After throwing a fire ball at Hancock, the jutsu was like a normal attack when Hancock used Haki.

Maybe the people of Wanio could feel the chakra?

Tamaki mused the thought and pinned it aside.

As evening was approaching, Hancock told her sisters to announce a feast for Tamaki and the Uchiha clan. The pretence being a relationship with the Uchiha clan and the Kuja Pirates, and the clan settling on the barren lands behind their village.

Yet the main reason being how Tamaki Uchiha was the saviour of the Amazonians by removing the curse off of the Boa sisters.

Tamaki went back to his family and informed them of the news.

Everyone relaxed and the tension went away quickly. 

Tamaki informed the clan of where they can settle and went on his way to build a territory for the Uchiha.

The Tycoon system was no secret Tamaki kept hidden from his clan.

This being the thing Tamaki went on his way to improve the clan his own way. The uncertainty of this suspicion thing was led to Tamaki having to agree to marry Izumi Uchiha as she was a half breed.

Even though Tamaki was from the times of technology and people identifying themselves as trees and frogs, he knew the past history of his country, Great Britain, had a lot of children marrying older men. And some girls getting contract marriages done whilst they were still in the balls of their dads.

Tamaki searched many schematics through his system that would best benefit the clan's strength.

[Target Field]

[An area where 10 target practises are lined at various ranges that can be altered the way the user sees fit]

[PASSIVE EFFECT: Improves one's accuracy by 1% after 100 throws]

[Dummy Field]

[Various training dummies littered around the area]

[PASSIVE EFFECT: Improves combat skills and weapon skills the longer a person stays in the field]

[Fire Element swordsmanship Field]

[…..]

[Lightning Element swordsmanship Field]

[…..]

[Water Element Swordsmanship Field]

[….]

[….]

Money: 1.4m

After selecting the best fields to be used as training grounds, Tamaki next objective was looking for suitable housing. 

Going through the list of village settlement schematics, Tamaki found one that was useful, fit the terrain, and was more than enough to house many of the Uchiha.

The Clan head had its house located in the centre of the village, similarly to the design of a town hall with a garden and fountain at the front.

Located near the ocean cliff side, were the residential area for the elders, acting like a retirement area.

The Uchiha clan looked at the view in awe, overwhelmed by the impact the system could bring.

Tamaki brought up the banquet, the Empress was hosting, but everyone refused since they didn't have enough sleep since they were all awake during the Clan meeting.

Everyone went to their new respected homes, leaving Tamaki and Izumi standing at the clan village entrance.

Since it is an occasion, Izumi and Tamaki both wore kimonos with the Uchiha clan flag embraided on the back and front left breast pocket.

Izumi where a purple kimono with a black slash.

And Tamaki wearing a black kimono with a purple slash.

Both showing the relationship between the engaged pair.

"It seems this is our first event together since our engagement." Izumi spoke up as the two walked through the empty streets of Amazon Lily. Her voice light but a bit hesitant.

Tamaki glanced briefly towards Izumi, before looking back straight ahead. Adjusting the hand Izumi hooked around his left arm.

"Yeah." He simply stated. 

"Oh."

Izumi looked down in sadness, not getting a proper conversation with her Fiancé.

Izumi thought back when she was told she would be engaged to Tamaki. That day she was extremely happy since she was going to be with the man she idolised, looked up to and had the biggest crush.

Sadly, Tamaki didn't seem to be that bothered with her. 

She still had hope that one day Tamaki would look at her with affection. He did promise to get married to her when she was older, so she can only wait longer.

Unfortunately, with the conversation she was a apart of after Tamaki left with the Snake Empress, it seemed she will have to do her best to win Tamaki's heart.

"If it makes you happy."

Izumi snapped back to the present and looked at Tamaki as he spoke.

"You will be with me from now on so you can look forward to it."

The news brought a smile to Izumi's face, she tightened her grip around Tamaki's arm.

"Of course there will be Sasuke, but it will mainly be me and you."

"Hm."

Tamaki and Izumi walked into the palace, Izumi with the brightest of smiles and the rosiest of cheeks.

~~~~~

"A-ah, Tamaki, you're here." Hancock called out after seeing the young man who healed her scars, her face blushes.

She briefly looked at the young girl wrapped around his arm, a sudden lump forming at her heart, but she ignored it and started to make her way to the pair.

The Amazonian warriors parted ways for their empress.

"Empress, it's great to see you." Tamaki greeted with politeness and professionalism. 

He gestured to Izumi, who curtsied upon meeting the taller woman.

"This is my fiancée, Izumi Uchiha." He introduced.

Scrutinising the girl, Hancock searched for what could make Tamaki engaged to the young girl.

Said young girl, squirmed under the gaze of the sharp Snake Empress.

"It's an honour to meet you your grace." Izumi greeted without hinting at her discomfort.

Hancock didn't respond, looking in between Tamaki and Izumi. 

The pressure in her heart slowly increasing before she pushes it away.

"Any way." She finally spoke. Izumi releasing a breath she didn't know she was holding.

"Enjoy the feast we have prepared for you. And don't worry, nothing to do with pig has made its way into the we prepared."

The last part she said whilst glaring at the kitchen staff who were sweating from the gaze.

She ordered two women to escort the couple towards the front of the banquet hall, whilst she made her way out the room clutching her chest.

The detail not missed by Tamaki.

Don't tell me she got that love sickness disease thing. I'm not Luffy nor have a even touched a Celestial Dragon. Where has her feelings come from? It can't be because I removed the cursed marks from her and her sisters.

Tamaki pondered the thought, puzzled by the sudden development. He would have jumped at the chance of getting closer to Hancock, but he respects Izumi, is fiancée too much to travel down that thought.

As someone who believed in God on Earth, he knew adultery was a big sin to commit. He didn't understand why some relationships allow their marriages to be open but complain about some people marrying more than one wife to help sustain them.

Since Izumi is a teenager, he knows the amount of people calling the police on him.

But he is living in an era where 1800s England is the norm.

So, he must follow the rules and laws.

"What are you think about Tamaki?" 

The voice of Izumi reached his hears once they were seated at the front of the banquet hall and left alone with a bit of privacy.

"I was thinking about Boa Hancock." He replied truthfully.

"O-oh I see." Izumi said, sadness in her voice.

"She's very beautiful, isn't she?" Izumi questioned avoiding Tamaki as he glanced at her.

"She is." Tamaki agreed. Izumi clutching her chest at the confirmation.

"But… So is Auntie Mikoto, Auntie Kushina when she was alive, Lady Tsunade and many more." Tamaki further added. 

The many names of these hot women, made Izumi look at Tamaki.

"Even many of the women here Izumi.

A person's beauty is a gift from God, but is a test to them to keep themselves falling to pride and ego.

I go for cute women, introverted women, and women that do not be in the spotlight." Tamaki then looked at Izumi, smiled softly and patted her head.

"Izumi, your cute and you want to be by my side. I don't want to marry a younger girl of fear of getting ridiculed, but I still agreed to marry you in the future.

So respect yourself more for me ok?" 

Izumi couldn't stop the blush flooding her face.

Her face quickly hid behind her hands, hiding her wide mile from Tamaki.

Yes, Boa Hancock was top three most beautiful women he would happily marry if he was alone.

But, living with Izumi is enough for him. 

The food soon came after whilst the party was going on.

Tamaki keeping himself away from alcohol and not getting involved with the singing and dancing entertaining everyone. 

Tamaki and Izumi eating peacefully as they watch on.

Boa Hancock returning and sitting at the highest point, gazing at Tamaki as he laughs and chats with Izumi.

The pounding of her chest intensifying as the night progresses on until she stands up and unleashes her conquerors haki.

~OMM~

"That's enough!" her voice raised, echoing across the walls.

The music and chatter stops and all eyes look towards her.

"The banquet is over, you all leave and clear out all this filth." Her commanding washed over her people making them stumble as they clear everything away.

Tamaki and Izumi watch her retreating figure, Izumi looking at her in confusion.

"Is she ok?" Izumi whispered to Tamaki, tugging on his kimono sleeve.

"I'm afraid not. No." he responded, shaking his head.

"I think she has fallen in love with me." Tamaki revealed, shocking Izumi.

"WHAT? How?"

"I don't have the faintest idea, but me healing her may be the reason. I'm not sure." Tamaki answered Izumi.

Standing up, Tamaki offered his hand to Izumi, who quickly took it.

"Come with me. Let's go see her."

~~~~~

Making their way towards the chambers of the Empress, Tamaki and Izumi were met with silence as they walked through the empty halls.

"Where are the guards? Do you think they're at the Empresses chambers?" Izumi questioned Tamaki.

"That or they're either outside making sure the island is safe, or they are all at the banquet hall cleaning or watching guard." Tamaki answered.

"Her sisters will be with her, and that old lady." Izumi said.

"Yes. They're most likely are." Tamaki confirmed.

"Honestly, it was best we didn't come. I don't do partying, and this has become a giant headache." 

Izumi giggled at the complaint, gently holding his hand and reassuring him.

"Once we get home, I'll run you a hot bath." Izumi offered.

"Sure."

The couple made there way until they reached the bedroom.

The two sisters seeing him as well as the old lady.

A couple of words were said before the three nodded in unison and left the bedroom.

Leaving Tamaki, Izumi and Boa Hancock.

Tamai cleared his throat and started to speak.

"Ahem Lady Hancock is everything ok?" 

A lot of rustling was heard behind the bed curtain, Izumi and Tamaki looking at each other briefly before looking back.

After a couple of seconds, the bed curtains parted ways, revealing the grace of the empress with her flawless appearance.

"Ah, Tamaki….. and Uchina." Hancock spoke up, looking at Tamaki with love and Izumi with a small acknowledgement.

"You can call me Hancock, Tamaki, you don't need to be formal with me." Hancock asked.

"Ok, Hancock." Tamaki agreed, watching as Hancock's cheeks redden.

"A-ah, why are you here?" Hancock collected herself and questioned her crush.

"Well… I was worried about you, so I wanted to check up on you." Tamaki answered making his way closer to Hancock.

Startled, Hancock tripped as she stumbled backwards now sitting on her bed as Tamaki raised his hand and placed it on her chest.

"Hancock your heart rate is racing, you best rest for a couple of days." Tamaki instructed.

Unfortunately, with the closeness of the man she has developed feelings for, Hancock couldn't stop herself from staring at hi broad shoulders and handsome face.

Izumi watched on, clutching her heart at the display.

"Hancock did you hear me?" Tamaki asked, snapping Hancock out of her state.

"A-a-ah, yes. Don't worry. I will take a few days rest." Hancock repeatedly nodded her head.

A sincere smile appeared on Tamaki's face, making Hancock's heart skip a beat.

Tamaki retracted his hand, disappointing Hancock at the loss of warmth, and made his way back to Izumi.

"Then." Tamaki started. "We will be off Hancock." 

And with that Tamaki and Izumi teleported out of the room.

Hancock kept her eyes fixated on the spot Tamaki stood, a gentle smile appearing on her face.

"Bye... Dear."

Hancock fell backwards on her bed and started giggling and kicking her legs in the air.

Tamaki teleported to his house, before finally collapsing on to his new kingside bed.

Izumi followed after snuggling close to her fiancé.

"I'm sorry if that pained you." Tamaki apologised for the way he dealt with Hancock.

Izumi, understanding, quickly shook her head.

"No, it was ok." Izumi honestly spoke.

Not believing her, Tamaki turned around to face Izumi, and wrapped his arms around her. 

She froze, startled, but quickly melted into it. one of the first act of affection she received from Tamaki.

"Didn't someone promise me a bath?" Tamaki brought up.

Izumi face steamed. 

She shot up out of the bed and made her way towards the bathroom.

I've become a nonce, and a cheating man. How has my life come to this

Tamaki thought bitterly at his new relationship development.
