Chapter 1085 Settling Things Peacefully
Ford Federation…
Originally Eiko was supposed to visit the other Island Nations in order to go sight-seeing.
However, one of her clones, that she had left in the Ford Federation, told her that the Pirates were waiting for her to pass judgment on the people that they had captured.
Because of this, the two Baby Slimes reluctantly canceled their trip, and returned to the Ford Federation.
“Bring the prisoners!” one of the Pirates shouted.
Immediately, dozens of men and women, who were bound by chains, climbed aboard the Bone Ship, Poseidon.
There, they saw two Baby Slimes who were eating biscuits, and looking at them with grumpy looks on their faces.
The people that were brought for Eiko’s judgment were the surviving members of the Families that had once ruled the Ford Federation with an iron fist.
Their once arrogant faces were nowhere to be seen, and only a defeated look could be seen.
These were the people who had trampled on the lives of others, and did whatever they wanted because of their family background.
Many lives had been lost because of them.
Many families had been ruined because of them.
And anyone who dared to voice any form of opposition would be silenced, or worse, killed, leaving no part of their bodies behind to bury.
After eating the One Cheese, Eiko’s senses had been enhanced, allowing her to perceive the emotions of those whom she was looking at.
To a certain extent, Eiko could also sense which were bad people, and which were not.
This was an inherent ability that even she couldn’t understand.
When she was back in the Fynn Kingdom, she had used this ability to look at her Papa.
At that moment, Eiko had sensed that her Papa was a bad person.
Lux wasn’t innocent.
He wasn’t a Saint.
Throughout his journey, he was forced to make hard choices, and those choices had claimed countless lives.
Instead of being disappointed, Eiko was even happy because as a monster, she understood that kindness would not always be repaid with kindness.
She felt this very strongly when she died for the first time.
It was at that moment when she understood that life wasn’t fair, and those with power could do whatever they wanted just because they could.
Although Lux was bad according to the power she gained, she was still her Papa.
So, in her eyes, Lux was a “good” bad person!
In fact, when Eiko looked at Asmodeus and Avernus, those two bad guys were worse than her Papa.
They were practically oozing a black aura that rose to the heavens, which meant that if her Papa was a bad guy, Asmodeus and Avernus were the baddest of the bad guys.
But, since they were his Papa’s underlings, they were good bad guys as well!
Eiko was very biased when it came to her allies.
But, this bias didn’t extend to her enemies.
Now, as the Baby Slime looked at the people in front of her, she didn’t hesitate to point out the people that were bad, and those who were not so bad, who didn’t deserve to die.
The Pirates were more than happy to deal with the bad guys.
As for the not-so-bad guys, they were going to be exiled from the Ford Federation.
Eiko had given this job to Captain Jack Spawow, whom she trusted the most among her Boom Boom Pirate Crew.
This purge and punishment process lasted for two weeks.
When everything had settled down, the Ford Federation was finally fully under her control.
Since Eiko didn’t plan on staying in the Ford Federation for a long time, she designated one of her loyal underlings, who went by the name Lupin, to become its steward.
She believed that this man was capable of managing her territory, while she was away.
After settling this issue, Eiko commanded Avery to set sail to the Island Nation nearest to the Ford Federation.
This Island Nation was called Torstein.
According to Captain Jack Spawow, it was a place that was well-known for its spices, which was a very important commodity in several nations.
Eiko, who liked to eat many delicious foods, planned to visit this place in order to try new dishes that she hadn’t eaten before.
Due to Poseidon’s speed, it only took them half a day to arrive at their destination.
However, when they neared the Torstein Territory, the Baby Slime noticed something peculiar.
Several battleships lined the shore, as if they were preparing for an invasion.
The moment Poseidon was sighted, a loud ringing sound reverberated at the Port City of Wulfstan, which was the Torstein Nation’s first line of defense.
Avery halted the flying ship, and stared at the battleships that were lying in wait for their arrival.
“Princess, your orders?” Avery asked.
Eiko looked down at the countless battleships.
Truth be told, she had no intention of fighting the people of Torstein because they didn’t have any conflict with her.
She just came to their island to eat, but seeing how strongly they were reacting to her presence, she decided to send Avery to settle things as peacefully as possible.
After receiving his orders, the Ancient Pirate King descended from the skies and landed on the biggest battleship, which he believed to be the flagship of the Nation of Torstein.
He was immediately met with two Supremes, who stared at him with solemn expressions on their faces.
“Are you perhaps Avery?” a middle-aged man with gray hair asked.
“You did your research well,” Avery replied. “You’re right. I am Avery.”
“What is your purpose for coming to our nation?” the middle-aged man inquired.
“To eat,” Avery replied, making the two Supremes draw their weapons.
Seeing their reaction, Avery chuckled because he understood that they had misunderstood him.
“We didn’t come here to eat anyone,” Avery stated. “We came here to eat food. Your Nation is known for its spices and delicious cuisine. My Princess has come to put your reputation to the test.”
“How can we believe you?” the other Supreme, who was an old lady, asked. “How can we believe your words? Especially after what has happened in the Ford Federation?”
Avery crossed his arms over his chest. Eiko had given him the task to handle this mission as peacefully as possible.
Because of this, he decided to use his Trump Card to settle this matter “peacefully”.
“I’ll give you two choices,” Avery stated. “Satisfy my Princess wishes, or we go to war. There is no third option. You already know what happened to the Ford Federation, we don’t mind doing the same to your Nation.”
“Bastard!” the middle-aged man glared at Avery, his hands trembling as he held the sword in his hand.
“So, you want to use force to settle this matter?” the old lady squinted her eyes.
Avery chuckled. “I think you are misunderstanding something here. Whether you agree or not, my Princess will have what she wants. The only difference is that you can either treat her like a VIP Guest, and get on her good side, or you treat us as your enemy and have your entire Nation suffer the same fate as the Ford Federation.
“The only reason why none of you aren’t dead right now is because our Princess is a good Monster. Do you really think that, with our army, we would have trouble destroying your pitiful attempt at resistance?”
The two Supremes frowned. However, before they could even answer, both of their bodies shuddered uncontrollably.
They then looked up at the flying Giant Bone Ship, and saw the ship’s bow open up like the jaws of a shark.
Inside its jaw were countless razor sharp teeth.
But the thing that made the two Supremes shudder was the gigantic cannon that could easily fit five of their flagships inside of it.
The muzzle of the cannon emitted a brilliant light, which made the faces of the two Supremes turn grim.
They knew that if that cannon unleashed its attack, their entire navy, and perhaps the Port City, would be obliterated with a single shot.
“Looks like Poseidon isn’t as patient as I am,” Avery commented. “Tell you what, I’ll give you ten seconds to give me an answer. Are you going to treat our Princess like a VIP and let her eat to her heart’s content? Or do we do it our way? Choose.”
The two Supremes could only smile bitterly as they signaled for their men to stand down.
In the face of absolute strength, the only thing that they could do was to allow Eiko to have her way.
What they didn’t know was that the Baby Slime was unaware of what Poseidon was doing.
She and Fei Fei had been taken by the Skeleton Swashbucklers to the Galley of the ship, where the finest chefs of the Ford Federation had finished preparing her lunch.
Poseidon took this opportunity, while its Master was away, to help the Nation decide to “settle things peacefully” as well.
In the end, its method worked, and the two Supremes of the Torstein Nation accompanied Avery back to the Bone Ship.
They were going to ensure that their people would not do anything to the Baby Slime, who had allegedly come to their Nation as a tourist and connoisseur.
Although they didn’t fully trust Avery, they decided that there would be no harm to agree to his request to treat Eiko as a VIP guest.
Because of this, Eiko had a good impression of them and happily ordered Poseidon to enter the Island Nation that would soon understand that they made a grave mistake letting the harmless-looking Baby Slime enter their Domain.
