One Piece: Reborn and Skypiean

Chapter 124

Title: The Plan...

....

Shadow

The shadow has no weight or mass.

A shadow is simply a lack of light in a particular place.

Remembering, shadows should be intangible, let alone be manipulated. However, Shadow-Shadow fruit users have the power to touch shadows and even to control them. In that case, by controlling the shadow, Yona could force people to use their DF power as well? Right, theoretically.

This is Amon's goal. He wanted Yona to learn this. That way, he might one day be able to control people whose Haki is weak enough for 'Shadow Ownership' to work, and use it against their own allies. The perfect casualty candidate is Blackbeard with his fruit.

'Not considering Teach, this is still a necessary upgrade.' Amon thought while lying on the ground.

When Amon's shadow is possessed by Yona, he could have fought it off with his Haki, but he didn't because it would have damaged the essence of his training.

He assumed that even if he managed to control the strength of his fruit since it was the first time, the effect would be bearable. The worst thing was that his fist would come to his face very quickly, but in that case, he would only stop it with his other hand.

It was because he was confident with Haki Observation without his buff as he was even able to follow some of Kizaru's attacks. But who would have thought his punch had almost surpassed the speed of his regular Observation limit?

Without changing, Amon's hand could withstand the force of a blow at 3/10 lightning speed, so his broken hand only meant it surpassed that speed, which in theory, was impossible to happen in his human form.

The shadow moved that fast, faster than Amon had expected, and his fists were forced to follow his movements.

Amon can still stop her just by thinking, but to help Yona understand her own capacity, she lets herself get hurt.

But, the question is, why is it moving so fast? Yona wasn't fast enough to make her hand move at that speed, was she?

Yeah, he's not that fast. Instead, just because Ammon's shadow was massless, it was faster than him, who had mass. He had just controlled that Shadow.

Anything that is massless will be faster than something massless, that's a fact. The massless Shadow's punch mixed with lightning was faster than Amon's normal lighting punch, so his punch surpassed 3/10 of lightning speed.

At that speed, Amon's hand was forced to follow the speed of that massless shadow punch, thus crumbling as it could not withstand its power.

He was amazed by the combined power of lightning speed and massless shadows. The force that broke his nose even though he inspired Haki on his face.

Moral of the story, Yona does not hurt Amon, Amon injures himself. Also, Gecko Moria was an idiot for not fully using such a devastating fruit...

"..."

Amon continued to lie on his back. His nose twisted strangely, slowly recovering by itself, as well as his broken hand. Amon uses Seimei Kikan, one of his aces.

Raki crouched down as she examined his face. He could not feel the enemies around this, then who hurt him like this?

His hand went to his sword while trembling. Red eyes. "Who did this?"

"My brother, tell me his name and I'll kill them."

Amon laughing. "Relax," sounds a little strange because his nose is broken. "It's nothing, I'm just training Yona."

"Huh...?"

The intention of killing Raki disappeared. After a brief silence, he sighed.

"A very powerful demon... Does it beat yours?"

"In a sense, yes. Maybe..."

Raki dodged his hand from his sword.

"I want it better than yours." He just commented.

"You'll get it someday, but not anytime soon. Haha-shit, it hurts."

Amon made a sad expression while his hand let out a sound*retak*. Repairing a broken hand is very painful.

Not only that, his nose also hurt. His own punch was more painful than Kizaru's countless attacks. He was proud that his attack power was extremely high, but he felt that he now needed to pay attention to his defense.

'Shank's body was weak enough to allow the weak sea king to bite his arm .... While old Whitebeard died from a gun bullet in the canon timeline.' Amon found points to watch out for rather than just increasing the attack power. 'I've trained my defense, but it looks like I need to pay more attention.'

As if his wound had never been present, his broken nose and hands returned to normal within minutes while occasionally groaning, even his blood was absorbed. The entire time, Raki was sitting next to her stroking her hair.

The startled Yona also ran towards him at that moment.

"K-We...!" He immediately jumped to the ground and bowed towards Amon. "Please kill me, kill me for doing that to you!! I'm an incompetent human being!"

Raki turned her head towards him and sighed after a short silence. He'd kill the culprit if it wasn't Yona. She knew her brother might ask her to do that, to begin with. He's always been like that.

Amon just sat down and looked towards Yona while extending his hand. "Look, it's not your fault."

Indeed, it was not his fault, but rather, the previous assumption was wrong. Yona is not without talent, she is just less creative. But for that, he's here.

'Also, Robin. I need Robin to teach him a lot... He's very creative.'

'Time to meet the 'Heaven Pirates'.'

«...★...»

[-4 years ago-]

In the corner of the upper courtyard, a young Ammon stood in front of some Birkan and some Skypieans. Among them, a young man with a neatly shaved beard stood out the most.

This group of Birkan were some of the people who worked under Enel in the canon timeline. Named: Ohm, Satori, Shura, Gedatsu, and some goats.

And the Skypieans are the unknown people Amon took to fill in those names. Among them, only the First Commander of the God Militia and Gan Fall's son, Reo, were worth mentioning. He was the strongest among all of them here.

"Okay, guys, I'm getting ready to go for a long trip ... We've already talked about it, so let's go ahead and remind you one last time."

They nodded.

These are not sudden gatherings, they are explained thoroughly about various things beforehand.

"You will descend into the sea and form the 'Heavenly Pirates'. You will also fight with the Valkyrie Guild Without Wings so that no one suspects we are from the same side. Also, don't forget to do something about Skypiea, make yourself seem like a criminal escape from here. I'll take care of your background and documents."

Amon explained as everyone nodded. "It's a serious mission, we need to fool the masses to get to specific things that power can't guarantee, understand?"

Again, everyone nodded. They have no questions and are happy to be chosen this way. This group of Skypieas considered this all for the sake of Skypiea's safety! The Birkan family simply did as Amon had told them without question.

"So" Reo opened his mouth. "I will try my best as their leader. I'll play the role of captain as you assigned me."

Amon nodded at Reo's words. "Yes, too, I'm sure you know why I chose you as captain. You are the one with the most experience in handling groups since you became the Militia Commander."

Amon just stared ahead with his serious face, "I don't care if you get a big bounty or no bounty at all, just don't mess up. Or everything's gonna be bad."

"You guys will have an important role to play in the future, that's for sure. Having a hidden group was a must to survive in this world."

They nodded, unaware that they were basically scapegoats. For them, they do this for honor and to obey their Lord, but in the end, it is only a sacrifice.

Amon smiled faintly and nodded. "Well, I hope you have a safe and enjoyable trip."

[At this moment]

As Amon had predicted, the 'Heaven Pirates', after 4 years away from their family and friends, started to come in handy.

Today, Amon is sitting on a pirate ship with 2 wings and a skull in the middle printed on a jolly roger.

She was enjoying tea with a man sitting opposite her. The man had a neatly trimmed beard without a mustache. She wore a robe, a gray dress designed similar to Doctor Strange's Ancient One suit.

Around the right shoulder of the robe, there was a special mark he had as the leader of this pirate crew. Two wings with pirate skulls between them, and three triangles under 2 wings, and one slightly further below the skull symbol.

He then spoke in a deep voice: "I heard about what happened on the 400th anniversary. The Nobles get what they deserve, I've been watching streaming."

As he said this, he had a small smile that was almost invisible on his face.

He breathed immediately after that. "It's a pity that I'm stuck here on a mission, or I will definitely participate in a war." It was then that his voice became slightly trembling and his grip on his teacup tightened. "I heard many of us died, leaving their families behind. For all this, the Marines are guilty."

As the one who had been running away from the marines for 4 years, the man formed a kind of hatred towards them. But after knowing about the things that were happening in the sky, he was furious.

That's when Amon moved his mouth. "Indeed, the marines are the ones responsible for their deaths, but it is also true that we are weak. If we are strong enough, none of us will die. Reo, I'm glad you can control your emotions, and don't go to the sky after learning all this."

"I want to. but I remember your words." The man, Reo, said. He was referring to, 'Don't mess up. Or things will be bad...' From 4 years ago.

Amon smiled faintly. "If you do that, things will get pretty messed up." His eyes looked into Reo's eyes as they trembled. "You're a smart man, I'll give you that."

"But never be too smart, please. Or I'll have to make sure your head doesn't work properly anymore." Amon was telling the truth, Reo knew it.

Reo gulped, he felt his originally boiling blood calm down. 'He does not change.'

Amon sipped his tea while enjoying his inner thoughts.

While Amon returns from the moon once in a while, he meets up with Reo and recalls his actions. Meanwhile, Amon increasingly shows his ruthless side, leaving Reo terrified, thus knowing how meaningless he is.

"Ehem, after all." Amon took out a piece of paper from the pocket of his luxurious black leather jacket. "We have a new mission, Red Island is at risk."

"There should be an Ancient Zoan in that place, this attracts a lot of attention," Amon explained as he looked at the paper, it was a map of the Risky Red Island. "Jack from the Beast Pirates will also be there. The reason I brought you is, Reo, I want to see if you can defeat him." Amon looked at his face. "I'll go with you, but I won't take any action. You have to do everything yourself."

"If you win, I'll give you the Ancient Zoan prize."

Even if there is no Dragon fruit, Amon can make it as if Reo killed Jack, even if Reo is not strong enough, he himself will kill him, after that, after that, he's gonna get Jack's old Zoan. He might then give the fruit to Reo because he still did not have the fruit.

'But if there is a dragon... Then things will become more interesting, haaah~'

Amon smiled and stretched his limbs.

"It takes 2 days to reach Risky Red from here, I get the Eternal Log Pose." Amon glanced at the people behind him, the Birkan people. "In the meantime, let me see how much you all have grown."

"I need to ascertain whether you guys are strong enough to match the Beast Pirates or not. Hehe..."

Amon's passive aura leaked out making everyone gulp in fear.
