One Piece: Reborn as a Skypiean

Chapter 165

Title: Taking a cautious step

….

A few days have passed since Amon reached Skypiea. Currently, Boa Hancock was getting familiar with the place before deciding where she should stay from now on.

Meanwhile, in the east blue, in the Cocoyashi village, the blue-haired girl named Nojiko was in her garden, reading a newspaper.

Her eyes were firm on the front page as she was leisurely laying on her belly on a lounger.

As her eyes squinted over the headline, she slowly shook her head. "This 5th Emperor guy has been news every single day now."

"This time, he announced his Pirate Crew's name along with the news of merging with Kuja Tribe…" She shrugged her shoulders soon. "None of my business, I guess. The big people would always stay away from here, I should worry about the 'small' figure in the village instead."

She was talking about Arlong of course. The behemoth who appeared in this village years ago, and ruling over the villagers ruthlessly.

'Though it's not like I can do anything about him. Only Nami can… speaking of her, she's been working harder lately.' Nojiko thought while turning on her back.

Lately, her sister Nami has been going out in the sea more frequently. She said the people who hate the government is choosing the path of piracy because of Amon's influence.

"These newbies have no experience, Nojiko! Not taking this chance would be too silly for me!" This is what Nami replied when Nojiko asked her to take things easy.

She had the goal to collect 100 Million bellies, and this chance seemed tempting to her.

Nojiko stared at the air for a while as her mind wandered. 'That poor girl…'

She soon shook her head and stood up, slowly walking away towards her house.

Meanwhile, something else was happening on an Island of the south blue.

An old woman wearing a ragged Marine suit was walking with 4 young females also wearing similar attires.

People were giving them weird looks but still avoided them, assuming they must be returning from a harsh battle.

As the small group of five walked forward, ignoring every civilian, they finally reached the marine base on that island, stopping by the gate.

The old woman opened her mouth in front of the two marine soldiers guarding the gate, "Tell the Captain in-charge, Vice Admiral Tsuru is here."

Indeed, it was Tsuru who finally reached this island after barely escaping from the deadly Sea Kings of the calm belt!

It took a few seconds for the marine soldiers to intercept her words. But when they did, instantly, the two soldiers shot their hands at their forehead and made a salute, stomping on the ground.

"Y-Yes, Ma'am!"

After that, a nervous Marine Captain with a fat belly ran out of the base and greeted Tsuru. Tsuru, not caring about him, first decided to use the Marine DenDenMushi to contact Sengoku.

«...★...»

At the same time, Sengoku was in his office as he received Tsuru's call.

They talked for a while as Tsuru explained what happened that day.

["And like that, I suddenly found myself in the sea along with 4 more girls. Luckily, they weren't devil fruit eaters, so I didn't drown with their help. I heard the recent news, it seems the culprit who did this was indeed the Sky Emperor, as I have doubted before."]

Tsuru's old voice flowed through the snail in front of Sengoku. He had a frown on his face hearing her.

"I see… many others from your fleet contacted me earlier, so I had the hunch that Lucifer didn't hurt anyone, including you," Sengoku said. "But to think he would somehow manage to make the Pirate Empress join forces with him. That's strange… I can only assume he used some dirty trick."

Hearing him say those words, Tsuru retorted from the other side. ["I don't think so. From what I learned of Boa Hancock, she is just a pitiful girl who seeks attention. I can only assume the Sky Emperor gave the attention she desired."]

Hearing Tsuru Sengoku nodded slowly. "Is that so…? Perhaps you are right."

"Anyway, it's nice that you are all okay. From the previous ruthlessness of that kid with the Nobles, I didn't think he would let anyone go harmless. So I can only assume he just has a grudge against the World Nobles."

He continued. "That's all for now, I hope you would return soon. I want a detailed review of what you know."

["Understood."]

Kacha!

Like that, the call ended as Sengoku sighed. These days, most of his time passed by sighing.

"First Kaido's fight with that unknown man, then the revolutionary army, now the 5th Emperor." He mumbled quietly.

Not so long ago, Emporio Ivankov, a Commander of the Revolutionary Army was captured. The Marines were expecting a move from the Revolutionary army because of that. From the data, the Revolutionary army cared deeply about their comrades, so the chance of someone coming to save Ivankov was pretty high.

He leaned on the chair to relax his mind. "And the Kuja Pirates... Things are going busy."

But this did prove something. This meant Amon really had something to do with Hancock, the reason why he set those demands years ago. With this, he must have acquired what he wanted.

"It's pretty clear he is making his army stronger. From our information network, after devouring the Kuja pirates, he now has around 40 thousand people who can fight."

In reality, Amon had a bit more than than 40 thousand fighters. The first and strongest batch, the 5 thousand from the Skypiea and Shandora, then the 10 thousand from the Kuja tribe, finally the 30 thousand from the Organisation.

Easily, this surpassed any other Emperors. "Yet, he is the least dangerous amongst them all. He has the number, but the numbers are weak."

There were only a few significant individuals worth mentioning in his crew. And none of them passed the 1 Billion mark. As a whole, Amon's crew was the weakest.

While Sengoku was thinking this, his eyes fell on the newspaper on the table. He has read them a while ago, and that has been a shock to him.

"A new dragon… it's supposedly that girl named Raki. I guess this will boost her bounty to 1 billion now." His headache that has been active for the past few days ached a little more aggressively thinking this. "We had two Dragons already, now we need to worry about another? Sigh…"

'There is a chance that the Lightning Dragon and this dragon is the same person, but it is highly unlikely from the previous proofs.' Sengoku contemplated.

More irritatingly, it seems all the news about merging with Kuja and owning a Dragon fruit was all revealed to the newspaper agency by Amon himself. 'He is deliberately trying to expand his reputation, isn't he?'

In the end, Sengoku sighed for an uncountable amount of time. 'Things are so haughty these days…'

Alas, Sengoku would soon receive another big blow from the news of Ace joining the Whitebeard Pirates.

–Amon Pov–

Zhhhh

I was standing under the shower while my body was being washed. I kept staring at the wall all the while, as after a few minutes I was done showering.

I grabbed the towel, dried my body, and walked out of the bathroom. Entering the bedroom.

As I walked in, I looked at the bed where a naked blonde woman was lying. It was Mikita, Miss Valentine from my organization.

She was seemingly awake, staring at the ceiling. But she was also drooling from her mouth as if she was unconscious, her pupils were also unfocused. So normally people won't be able to tell what happened to her.

I ignored her and walked towards the fridge, opened it, grabbed a bottle of water, and started drinking it.

The cold water went to my body, as I felt at peace.

Wiping my lips, I glanced at the seemingly half-dead Mikita. Just a while ago, I fucked that bitch, and after I was done, I brainwashed her.

She learned how to fly too fast. She started demanding things, even though I was busy, she demanded a meeting. Look where that brought you, dead bitch.

Apparently, she was too hungry for me. I don't even recall sleeping with her before, she is that insignificant to me. But it really does seem women are weak at heart.

'No, actually this is something concerning.' It really was.

She's not really someone I spent much time with, so this type of reaction was kind of… weird? I don't know.

So this made me think, if a person I hardly spent my time with is so thirsty, what about some other woman? Like Robin, that idiot, for example.

'She also refuses to teach me the Poneglyph language, saying that's the only way she can be useful to me, and whatnot.' That was something I didn't like about her at all. 'So I can't kill her, and brainwashing her is out of the question since I might accidentally hurt the part that holds her knowledge on Poneglyph.'

Still, Mikita's sacrifice wasn't in vain. I learned something new. No, more precisely, one of my previous doubts was cleared.

'It's my fault that I made a few people too dependent on me. To prevent them from acting like Mikita, I need to keep a check on them.' Currently, Robin is someone closest to snapping.

I recall I haven't given her much time after returning from the moon.

'Ugh, my head hurts.' I looked at the bed and ordered the now mindless Mikita, "Oi, go back to your room. Don't forget to keep acting like Mikita, by the way."

"Yes… Sir." Mikita said as her eyes slowly regained sharpness.

Also, it seems I am losing the bit of humanity I had in me. I don't feel anything after 'killing' her like this, unlike the other times.

–General Pov–

It was God's Shrine, and Amon was walking through a long hallway while his mind was in another world.

He realized something from this encounter. 'People around me will gradually reach this state. Not only Robin, even Raki…'

Because of his far-fetched dream to conquer the vast Universe, he surely needs something like a giant's life span, or better, immortality. But more than that, he needed immortality for his "companions" too.

'But from today's encounter, I am forced to believe that would come biting me in the ass. People will gradually realize what type of person I am, they will come to disgust and hate me. Eventually, betray me.' Of course, there was the solution, brainwashing. 'But like this, in the end, I will have nothing but soulless puppets around me. That's not fun at all.'

Of course, that didn't mean he would suddenly come to love everyone around him and they would become so nice that they wouldn't betray him. That's just a child's fantasy. A person can't change so drastically, so suddenly, at least not a person like Amon who still, somewhere deep inside his heart, wants to take revenge.

Amon chuckled softly as he came to a stop in front of a door. 'I need to… balance everything with my act. It's pretty fun acting, unlike before.'

Thinking this, he knocked on the door.

"Robin, are you inside?"

This was Robin's room in the shrine.

As he said this, some quick footsteps came from the other side as the door cracked open and Robin appeared. There were dark circles around her eyes as she looked at Amon with a shocked face.

"Luci?" She asked since she was a little confused as to why he was here so suddenly. He didn't come to her without a serious reason these days. "Is there anything? If it's about Shiki, I was working on his file just now-"

Before she could finish what she was saying, Amon placed his hand on top of her head.

"It's fine, rest assured." He just patted her head. "Take it easy, I was feeling lonely so I came to see you."

"Lonely…?"

He shrugged. "What? I can't be lonely? I was having a hard time sleeping. I was thinking of sleeping with you tonight, but I assumed you were already asleep. But it seems you are working hard, for me. Thanks, sis "

"So, what do you think, wanna sleep together?"

As Amon said this, Robin's eyes grew as she stared at him with her blue eyes, she intercepted his words wrong. 'Ah, yes, we didn't do it even once after he returned from the Moon…'

She smiled. "I understand, I will take a shower, wait-"

Amon again interrupted her as he hugged her tightly. "Come down, stop thinking about lewd things. I just want to sleep with you, a normal sleep. Don't forget, our relationship isn't that of lovers, it is that of siblings."

Hearing him, Robin blinked. She took a few seconds to intercept his words as an unnoticed giggle left her lips.

She hugged him back and patted his back. "You brat, you haven't grown at all, have you? Tell me, did you have a nightmare?"

A/N: Humans would always want more. Robin has been silent for months but when a limit is crossed, she might start acting rebellious again. Amon is aware, so he is taking action before.
