Forest of Future

Goodbye, Friends!
The sun shined bright over the island of. It had been about midday and because of the time of year, the island had been in its "Summer" phase. Many women gathered at a secret port of the island and kept it that way due to the events that occurred sometime before. With the World Government taking control over Rusukaina and by extension Amazon Lily, the people of the Kuja had been forced to make some of the areas secret incase fleeing needed to be an option.

This occasion that called many of the Kuja Tribe folk had been significant in the case of the cause. It had been the last day they'd see one of their companions and they had been preparing to see her off. Despite losing one of their kin, each of the people around had smiling faces. They all surrounded a single petite dark-skinned girl, draped in a pair of jean shorts and a white shirt with the Kuja emblem on it. Her hair was long and black, but the left side had been braided individually into one large braid that sat over her right shoulder. One-by-one they walked up to give her a hug, leaving her blushing from all the attention she'd been receiving.

From behind the large crowd of women, a dark-skinned woman just like the small girl emerged from between the people. Around her neck laid a small purple snake, which squeezed its head between her magnificent bust. Long black hair stretching down her back, she held a snake-staff in her hand as she finally spoke.

"Step aside," She began, tapping her staff against the ground. "Do not smother the little lady."

Upon her orders, each of the Kuja stepped back whilst also clearing a path for the woman to walk through. All eyes were on the appearing woman, each in different ways. Some filled with lust, thinking thoughts that only a dirty man would. While others looked to her with envy and admiration.

Releasing the staff she allowed it to fall to the ground before unleashing a burst of speed opening her arms to grab the young girl. "Ohhhh, Lil Mea Mea!" She screamed, grabbing the girl into her arms and squeezed her as tight as she could. From her back eight serpentine heads sprouted and they, each bore a differential expression of her face.

"Wait, Milady! You're doing exactly what you told us not to do!" Each of the women around shouted together almost as though they were scolding her.

Continuing her squeezing and hugging, the woman known as "Dusa" responded to the people, "I know, I know. I wanted my hug all to myself! I'm sorry you all!" The eight heads that sprouted from her back also closed in to add onto the smother, hugging the girl as best they could.

"Alright, Dusa." A voice within the crowd stated, stepping out to reveal itself as yet another dark-skinned woman, though this one had been a bit lighter and on the tanned side. She had long blonde hair with a pipe hanging out of her mouth. "Let her go before I kill all eight of you. I will not allow you to dirty Meagan any further before she sets off."

The eight dragon heads disappeared as Dusa stepped away from Meagan. Turning to pick up her staff, Dusa poked her lips out at the woman who'd just appeared. "Gah, you make me and my Yamata no Orochi angry. One day, I'll kill you Tina. The only reason I have allowed you to come here today is because of the debt I owe your late Captain."

"Right, like I was gonna' need your permission to come here. I was gonna' be able to come even if you hadn't allowed me." Tina nodded her head and grabbed the pipe from her mouth with her left hand and placed her right hand on her jacket. "But yes, Captain Amaka was the one who bestowed you with the power, so you will owe her forever."

Meagan shook frantically, "Mother Dusa! Momma Tina, please don't fight!" The girl begged, holding her hands in front of herself shaking. "Can you two at least get along until I leave?"

"As you wish, Lil Mea Mea.." Dusa agreed without arguing, "It is your day after all."

Laughing, Tina stepped all the way to Meagan's side with her right hand out. "Listen, Meagan... Everything is just beginning and while I don't agree with the initial decision Dusa made, there is no one who would be a better fit for the fruit. It will not be an easy journey, because if it were, it woulda' been found by now."

"Sadly, I have to agree with the sicko here, it won't be an easy journey." Dusa chimed in, agreeing with Tina for probably the first time in her life.

Reaching for Meagan's hand, Tina forcefully opened it. Re-placing her pipe back into her mouth, Tina dropped a diamond-like object into Meagan's palm. "After all my evaluations and work, I've finally created the perfect suit for you. Until you reach Aokigahara, it'll lend you a hand in battle boosting your physical attributes and fighting style in different ways."

Eyebrow lifting and nose rufflings, Dusa slammed her staff into the ground causing the women around to gasp. "ABSOLUTELY NOT! Mea Mea will NOT wear your sicko beliefs on her body, I will not allow it!"

"You call it 'sicko beliefs', we call it science. It's what I do, I'm a scientist after all." Sighing she continued on, "Anyway, ignoring this bitch, I call it the "Miss Amazing" suit. It'll work with your fighting style and increase your physical prowess beyond normal. Something within the suit also has something that'll help defend against other devil fruit users you might come acro-"

Tina's words were cut in half due to the ground shaking as though an earthquake had been occurring. However, had the people looked up they noticed they were footsteps that belonged to the giant of the Kuja Tribe; Talia. "Please, hurry!" Talia shouted, panting short on breath due to her running. "People are on their way here!"

"Thank you Talia!" Dusa shouted, quickly turning to Meagan. Approaching her, a small blue snake slithered from underneath her hair and slithered onto Meagan's arm. "You couldn't leave Naga behind, now could you? Now go, Meagan! We will hold them off until you're in the clear. The map to and of Aokigahara is already on your ship! This is the start of your journey, just don't forget about us!"

Hair lifting, one of the eight dragon heads grew from her back once again lifting Meagan off of the ground and placing her on the boat. "But wait," Meagan shouted from the deck of the small boat. "But I didn't even get to thank you two! I love you moms!"

"Yeah, thank me by using that suit, girl!" Tina yelled back, turning to flee from the rest of the people as Meagan's ship sailed off into the horizon.

As the teen looked to her family, tears fell down the side of her face gathering at her chin and fell onto the wood of the ship. "I PROMISE!" She shouted back to Tina. "I PROMISE TO GET THE LAND OF AMAZON LILY BACK!"
