Title: Lucky...!

–Wyper Pov–
Holy hooch! Holy hooch!
I was training my spear style while sweating a little. It is not sweat from heat, I am immune to it, it is sweat formed from hard work.
""
I started dancing skillfully. This is a tribal dance that I learned when I was a kid. But now, this was a powerful movement where with each of my steps, I was moving at incredible speed to attack someone and return to where I was before without anyone noticing.
To a normal person, her dance definitely looks unstable and flawed, but this is one of my strongest Hand-to-Hand fighting techniques. Haven't...
"I can't beat him ."
Ammonite. She is my older cousin, she has never lost to me in anything even once. He even won in the birthday part, because a few days before me.
'Four years ago, before he went to Raijin Island, I challenged him for the last time.'
I stopped my dance and stared at the ground.
'I'm lost.'
That's right, I lost at the time. But I did not stop training, I think after 4 years the distance between us will be reduced. But now.Even Raki is stronger than me.
My hands shook as I clenched my jaws and tightened my grip on the spear.
I took care of Shandora for the past 4 years as if this was my own Kingdom, but after all this time when she returned, she claimed it back. I don't mind, this is my punishment for the defeat 4 years ago.
Besides, he's a good brother. He praised me for enduring so long against the Marines. But I don't want to be praised for lasting, I. want to be praised for winning!
I want to win!
Even if I cannot defeat him, I want to defeat others! At least Raki!
Refrigerant died. Raki killed him, he also killed his comrades. He was stronger than me at the time...
One might say I can't beat Cooler because she's my natural counter, but the truth is, she's not my natural counter, but rather the opposite.
I'm a superior element, but I can't beat him. I could scream and say 'It's wrong rain!', but it's stupid. That's right, nature won't always be by my side. I am not the protagonist of a fairy tale. If someone was the protagonist, it would be him ...
"Faulia..." I sighed after a moment of silence. Adjusting back my grip on the spear.
'This mind is useless... I need to practice more.'
I should be able to use at least 2000° hot... No, I should be able to lift at least 5000 tons before the next 2 years.
"Become!"
Once again, I vigorously began to practice. Life is about practice and challenges, I'm sure one day... I will reach his height, I will come out of his shadow... Someday!
«...★...»
–Amon Pov–
I flew towards Raki when I realized something.
'Dikus Doflamingo...'
On the wrecked ship, in the corner, one of the Doffy family members, Machvise, hides. I could see some people with severe injuries beside him, they were definitely his subordinates. It seemed like they were injured by a small battle.
'Let's ignore them for now ...'
He was hiding from the battle, so there was no need to chase after him now. I don't want to hurt him either, I'll use him to contact Doffy, I need to be close to Caesar Clown.
I then flew towards Raki who was holding two swords with his injured hand. His hand reminds me of the incident 8 years ago when I threw the 'Blaze Dial'. How sad...
Zzz...
Raki was startled by the slight sound of electricity passing by. I need to work on this voice, I need to make it disappear or this might be a weak point in the future.
"Oh..." Raki blinked her swollen eyes. "It's you, bro" He smiled and pointed at Tesoro who was under his feet. "See I beat him .. m."
Raki could not continue her words and fell forward towards my chest. His face hit my chest.
"Hey, wake up." I slapped him on the cheek but he didn't answer. He was unconscious...
Sighing, I contacted Shortmotor by sending an electrical signal to its processor.
"B-Boss, you're here!"
I'm staring. He looked strange with Automata's nose on top of Liger's scary face.
I handed Raki to him when he needed her and ran backwards.
It's not a big injury, he's hurt much worse in space. The earth is relatively more peaceful than hell. Unlike what I thought, space is dangerous. So he'll be fine, totally fine.
I then saw Tesoro lying on the ground, unconscious.
'He's a stubborn man. A villain with a cliche background, but that story is what makes him stubborn. He won't work under me at all.' He is an awakened user of the Gold-Gold fruit, so I don't want to kill him.
I want to have him as my subordinate. If I killed him and gave the fruit to someone else, they would probably never wake him up, so it would be a rather large loss.
But if subordination doesn't work, then it's brainwashing. But there's a problem...
'Brainwashing someone reduces their fighting ability because some nerves are damaged and the brain sometimes cannot function properly.' Besides of. 'There's also the fact that when I brainwash someone, he might die. Also, the stronger a person is, the more likely the techniques of failure increase. Or I would have sent this spam and brainwashed people like Whitebeard....'
Yeah, sometimes their brains explode. That was the thing that happened with many marines who came after Hina that day. This is a 50-50 chance that a person will survive. I only took the chance with Hina because I did not care whether she died or not, and also the fact that there were many others besides her who would be used as spies.
If it were this simple, I would have brainwashed Vivi as well, although it is true that I still hypnotize her every day... Nothing extreme, just 'pure love'... Can't take any chances.
I dismissed that thought. 'Anyway, I should focus on brainwashing.. I should concentrate—wait,'
Suddenly, after feeling a presence, I looked beside me, there a woman with red hair was lying down. He was unconscious....
A grin formed on my face. 'Luck Fruit fortune can easily increase its chances of survival. The world is on my side.'
Laughing, I approached the woman who shrunk back. He knows who I am.
"S-Emperor Sky ..."
Oh, is that how I'm known around here now?
'It has a taste for it. The only Celestial Emperor...'
I crouched down and patted the woman's head. My eyes were round when I smiled. "If you don't want to die after being raped by a horse, do as I say."
«...★...»
The next day, in Dressrosa.
"What?! You met Lucifer, Celestial Emperor?!"
Doflammingo shouted in shock at the Machvise person in front of him.
"Yes, Doffy. I don't know why I feel that way, I've never felt this scared at the inn of my life!"
Machvise returned safely from Tesoro today.
Doffy wiped his sweat and sat down in his chair after taking a breath. "Tell me everything in detail."
"A lodge! Yep... So, when I get to Tesoro..."
Machvise started talking about everything he saw. About Raki's sword slash. And how strong he is.
"Yes, he was part of the Celestial Emperor's people. When Lucifer descended from the sky, he and the robot chatted casually—the inn!"
Machvise keeps explaining things to him while Doffy keeps sweating. From the detailed explanation, and out of Machvuse's fear, he even exaggerated a few things. Raki's shadow in his mind grew into a dangerous existence.
"M-most scary..." He started sweating. "When the monster came, he brought the red-haired woman and the unconscious Tesoro into a room. After that..he suddenly teleported behind me! The Inn! I'm scared shitless!"
"Oh that's right." Machvise then slipped his hand into his pocket, taking out a letter. "He handed me this letter and asked me to take him to your inn."
Doffy had a frown on his face. He received the letter and unfolded it as his eyes under the sunglasses curved upwards.
Donquixote Doflamingo's. I'll ignore that you're chasing my prey, though,
Reading this line, Doffy's veins appeared. "Nails... Tesoro was originally my prey."
Although he was very angry, he still decided to read further.
I've got business with you, and I'd like to have a chat together over tea. Alright, I will let your subordinates go harmlessly, but be careful not to mess with me in the future. Lassbyn :)
The smiling emoji made Doffy uneasy, but she just sighed. 'Luckily you didn't touch my family, or I wouldn't care that you were an Emperor.'
Doffy cares most about his family, his subordinates. He was one of the few antagonists to do so.
But there are still problems left. "But... What does he want from me?"
She wondered, why would Amon want to meet her?
He felt it was not something that would hurt him, or he would decide to weaken him by defeating Machvise.
'Still, all Emperors are weird. He might be too arrogant and let Machvise go. I have to prepare for his arrival here ...'
Doffy was upset that he did not set a date so he had to be vigilant every day from now on. Unfortunately, Amon would not let her sleep well for more than a month.
