One Piece: Reborn as a Skypiean

Chapter 22 - Holy Mother Vearth?!



Chapter 22

[A/N: Quite satisfied with what came out... Maybe I even grew some braincells. But, feel free to criticise?]

….

As the fight escalated, soon there were only Gan Fall and Amon remaining above the Giant Jack, outside the God's Shrine. While the Shandians have lured the enemy militia to the 'formation' Amon has informed them of.

Currently, Gan Fall, with his hands behind his back, was waiting for the child in front of him to make a move. However, Amon didn't attack, rather he just stared at him.

How much time passed like that? As finally, Amon opened his mouth. "God Gandalf, from what I heard from the riders and the chief himself, you are a pretty nice guy, enough to even leave many raiders alive sometimes. So I will give you one chance, take it and fall back." Amon said looking at Gan Fall. "This is our land, leave and we won't have any resentment left," Amon said, his tone being forgiving.

Gan Fall got quite confused. 'Is this the same child who called me a coward 10 minutes ago?' He thought.

In truth, Amon was only saying things like this, since this is the best possible course of action for now. According to his calculations, he will take action in 39 minutes and 56 seconds.

Truth be told, he had been planning this for a long time, considering if he should kill Gan Fall or not. But finally, he reached a conclusion, killing Gan Fall, as of currently, would be too inconvenient for him. 

Looking at Gan Fall, Amon's thoughts started to wander. 'Gan Fall is strong, but that's not the reason for me to keep him alive.' Amon thought. 'Rather, it's his connection to the Skypieans on Angel island. 

If I can use him correctly, then ruling over the inhabitants of Angel Island would be easier, but if I were to do it the other way around, controlling them would be nigh-impossible… Mostly because I don't have powers like Enel as of now. However…' Amon stopped his thoughts as he saw Gan Fall opening his mouth.

"Young Warrior, I would have been more than happy to resolve things peacefully, if you hadn't attacked us today." Gan Fall said as he picked up his lance. "However, now that you have done so, I can't leave my people behind." 

Amon smiled hearing him. 'However, his pacifist nature is a huge hindrance to me and my plans.' Amon thought. 'But… For now, I will use him as long as possible, and if he gets any smart-ideas, I can just kill him off.' Amon thought and released a long breath.

"Well," Amon opened his mouth. "The reason for today's attack is quite simple. We want peace." Gan Fall frowned. "Don't give me that 'are-you-kidding-me' look. I'm sure, you are aware that, 10 years ago, the Kalgara descendant named Warrior Kobra had tried to end this peacefully, don't you?" Hearing him, Gan Fall's eyes grew wide, as his hand holding the lance shook. 

Amon continued. "Yes, not only did he try, he tried it in the most peaceful way." Amon then went silent. "However, he failed and died by the hands of your militia." 

Gan Fall opened his mouth, with his eyes shaking. "H-how do you know about Kobr-" 

"Stop." Looking at the shaking eyes of Gan Fall, Amon cut his words. "That's not the point." He said. "The point is, we want peace, but as a wise man, you have to understand, a little bloodshed is a given after our 400 years of suffering." He said while Gan Fall was in shock.

"...Sigh." Gan Fall sighed. 'I'm getting old it seems. After all, it's quite normal for him to know these things as the Shandians leader.' He thought.

He then looked at Amon's eyes. "So, what are you trying to imply?" He asked. "Sadly, Kobra failed, but do you think you will achieve it by attacking us today?" Gan Fall asked with a sensible face.

Though he knew that Amon's logic of 'bloodshed for peace' isn't completely out of the life, after Shandians' 400 years of suffering. Yet, today, since there will surely be more casualties from this war, why would they accept this? Gan Fall asked himself the question.

"Well, take it as a gamble." Amon, as if reading his mind, replied. "We Shandians aren't stupid, we knew there will be casualties this time too, but we still want this to end." He said. "So here we are, gambling with our life on the line."

Gan Fall didn't really like how he said 'gamble' but he had to agree. In a sense, Amon's words made sense, since if Kobra's way failed, then maybe his way would succeed... However, he still had one question. "Young man, I'm quite impressed by your wisdom… But what do you say about the current situation of the war? From what I see, your army should be at a loose end seeing that they got pushed back by my 50 Special Militia before." Gan Fall asked. "As you said, Kobra failed. But do you know the reason behind that? The reason was not me, the God. Rather, it was them, the militia."

His face then turned guilty. "I also want this war to stop, but if it concerns something that's been passed from the previous Gods, my order to the militia doesn't work. That's the real reason I wasn't able to stop Kobra's death." He said. "Young man, sorry to say this, but most of your Shandian army is probably dead by now… I will try my best to save the remaining ones, so come with me." Gan Fall said as he prepared to get over his bird, with his guilty face. 

'Just like last time, the Shandians failed to achieve peace agai-'

"Wait." Amon's calm call cut his line of thought. "No need for you to move, the war has already ended."

Gan Fall made a confused face, however, before he could ask something, Amon moved. He slid his hands inside his bag, as Gan Fall became wary. However, it wasn't something to worry about, since he just pulled out a pair of binoculars.

"Here," Amon tossed it towards Gan Fall, as he caught it. "Now, using that, look at that place." Amon said as he pointed his fingers towards the direction of 'formation'.

Gan Fall didn't question anything, since he felt it would be faster to just check it out for himself. So, he got down from his pegasus and raised the binoculars to his eyes.

"!!!" 

However, just as he looked in that direction, his expression froze as his eyes started to shake. "H-Holy Mother Vearth!?"

«…*...»

[A few minutes ago]

In the same place where Raki was previously hiding, there were a few more cut down bodies of militias lying around. Although Amon asked her to not pick a fight, she had to fight back when she was attacked. Currently, Raki was sneakily looking down, where Shandians were surrounded by God's army.

Amon sent her here, making her pretty important for plan A of this war, though if she fueled there were still plan B-S left. Her reason for being here is mostly because, during the past year, she had proved her strength enough to make Amon trust her with these things.

Currently, she was looking down where 60 Shandians were standing, surrounded by more than 300 Militia. It appears that although the Shandians defeated quite a lot of them, the militia still had an upper-hand. Or so the militia thought.

Raki gulped while beads of sweat were forming on her forehead. She was worried about the people below, but she had trust in Amon's words. If he had a plan to take them down all at once at this place, then he would. Or so Raki believed. But her reason for being worried was about Amon himself since she just spotted around 10 more Shandians being chased by God's militia here. 

Meaning Amon was alone with Gan Fall… Then she clasped her hands together. 'Please… Be safe.' She prayed and concentrated on her own situation.

Soon, except her, all the 69 Shandians got surrounded as God's militia laughed. "HAHAHA! It's as if you guys came here just to die!" One of the militia shouted. "This new leader of yours is quite stupid isn't he?!" Raki frowned hearing him, and then slipped her hand inside her pocket. 

While they were mocking the Shandians, she took out a Sunglass, a [Tone Dial: Telephone] and finally, 2 [Remote-Controller-Dial], the remotes being connected to half-half of all the dials creating this circular 'formation'. 

The first thing she did was to connect to Wyper's [Tone Dial: Telephone], who was sitting in the middle of the Shandian-crowd, out of the general view. 

The dial vibrated, but Wyper didn't receive the call, instead, he just nodded his head, already understanding the message. Soon he quietly warned the news to the ones close to him, and they did to the ones close to them. Like that, all shandians understood the situation, as they slowly closed their eyes 

Before the militia could understand anything,  Raki, wearing sunglasses and looking at the dial in her left hand,  placed her finger on its button...

*BEEP!*

*FLASH* *FLASH* *FLASH*

In a circular motion, the 500 [Flash Dials] around the place activated while it affected everyone, leaving only the Shandians who closed their eyes, and Raki who wore the sunglasses.

"ARRGHH! MY EYES!"

"I CAN'T SEE!"

However, it wasn't the end, as the next moment Raki looking at the remote dial on her right hand, also pressed the red button *BEEP*

*FWOOSH!*

This time, just as she clicked the red button, like a wildfire, a strange pinkish gas surrounded the place. 

"Huh?! What the-Ugh… I can't m-move."

"ARGH?! M-me neither!"

One by one, God's militia started to fall on their knees. Proving the gas was some kind of paralyzing gas.

It wasn't that thick, but it spread VERY fast, and the moment the Militia breathed in the gas, they fell on their knees with their eyes rolled back and foam coming out of their mouths. They couldn't move at all, as this was not just any paralysis gas, rather, it was [Gas Dial: Preserved Gas of Paralysis].

It was a special variant one. This is that type of gas that only affects the people who've been breathing it for a long time.  After Amon placed the Dials-traps here, the God's militia who changes their patrol-man every day has been breathing a very low quantity of it each day. 

So here, after a year they were completely powerless against this nerve-numbing gas. That's also the reason why no Shandians were affected since they never breathed it before.

Soon, without any retaliation, they were subdued by the Shandians. Or more accurately, they were tied with ropes tightly.

Raki went down the tree and met the others. "Operation Successful!"

….

[Present]

Gan Fall's eyes grew wide as he gulped. His hands were shaking, while sweats were dripping. His thoughts were getting numbed, 'What will the shandians who've been suffering for 400 years do to their enemies?!'
