Chapter 127
Title: Haki the Conqueror!
....
Nergigante, a dragon who is rumored to have lived on this island in the past.
Amon got this news from the underworld. He also got news about the devil fruit from there.
So, after making 2+2 \= 4, Amon assumes if the fruit really exists, then this one is the fruit.
Zoan Kuno— Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Nergigante.
'The fruit of the game... To be honest, it is not too surprising that it is real in this world.'
Amon pondered while looking at the fight that was happening around the beach from several kilometers in the sky.
But where is the fruit in the canon timeline? Why did Ace, or Jack not pick it up on that timeline?
"The answer is simple."
Amon makes a thinking face. 'Jack proposed Ace the same offer as this, but in that timeline, he didn't accept it. Just because he had no knowledge of the fruit before, because he had not promised Deuce to take the fruit for him.'
Why didn't he do it?
'Since Deuce didn't tell him about it because he had no knowledge of it in that timeline, after all, his friend from the underworld wasn't there.'
A grin formed on Amon's face. "That's because I'm a 'friend of the underworld'."
While the wind fluttered his hair in the air, Amon continued to look at the fight with glowing red eyes.
.....
! _
Jack's luggage hit Deuce's body, throwing him several yards away. But he managed to reduce the damage by flying upwards.
However, since he was still relatively new to his body, Deuce could not fly for long with his large body and fell down.
! _
Jack hits him again, but Deuce is able to block him with his pointy wings.
Ase's confused. Shouldn't Deuce have the upper hand?
In the beginning, he had the upper hand. But it all boils down to the experience of battle and familiarity with Zoan's form not long after. Deuce doesn't have both, she's a doctor, not a fighter. Although he had fighting strength, they were nothing compared to the experienced Jack.
! _
Jack turned his trunk like a helicopter wing and crashed into Nergi.
The dragon was thrown backwards again, this time even its flying ability did not help as Jack rushed forward without giving it time to recover.
"Kah—Deuce, wait! I'll help you soon—Ugh!"
Ace stumbles backwards while being hit by Eagura.
Ace and his crew are busy chasing Jack's subordinates. They were too strong for him and his crew, he didn't get a chance to help.
It is clear who the winner of the game is based on this alone.
Jack ran towards the dragon Nergi, preparing a header. "!!"
BAM !
However, Deuce was able to block it.
Jack commented: "So this is the defense of the Dragon ..."
He rushed back to the front.
Bam!
Again, he gored it.
Bam!
This went on for a few minutes while the inexperienced Deuce was forced to stay put.
Bam!
However, as the clock turned in the 18th minute, Deuce bled slightly. Unfortunately, he did not have any Armament.
Jack focused his armament on his horn and rushed forward again.
This is his strongest headbutt.
" !!"
BAM !
Deuce was exposed right in her stomach as she coughed up blood, and was forced to subside into her human form.
"It was a very strong defence" Jack commented. "But you're too weak to take full advantage of it."
He then shouted looking at his subordinates. "Everybody stop fighting!"
"It's not a bad thing he ate the fruit, we'll just take it under us."
Everyone did as he said while the injured Ace took a deep breath.
He looked at Ase. "You're the captain, right? We'll give you a chance to live, join us."
After a brief silence, he looked at the human Deuce, their eyes meeting. Both grinned.
Ace commented: "In your dreams, you elephant bastard. I'll be the pirate king!"
This line triggers jack. His blood vessels appeared. He just nodded.
King Pira? "Good," Only Kaido will become the Pirate King.
He doesn't care about Ace, his only priority is Deuce eating the fruit.
Jack, still in his Mammoth form, runs towards Ace. His horn pointed towards this chest.
'Oh, fuck...' Ace cursed in his mind and planted Haki in his chest. But he knew, this was an attack that was impossible to block. He knew it but still he didn't give up.
Yummy!
Jack's pointed horn pierced through the flesh. Blood gushed out, covering his face. Yet...
"Cough—Ace," That's not Ace.
"D-Deuce..."
It was Masked Deuce who had partially turned into a dragon, it was his hybrid form. However, he could not even fully do so, only his skin had darkened. If he had enough time to spout the scales as well, then maybe...
"Deuce why are you doing this!!"
Maybe he'll live.
With a grim face, Jack took back his horn. He did not expect this situation, this meant that he had just lost the Dragon fruit.
'Kaido will be angry...'
Fail !
As Deuce's body detached from her horns, her body slumped to the ground. Ace caught.
Blood dripped from his lips. "Ace. forgive me."
"Deuce..."
Ace's eyes twitched. He only has one question. 'Why?'
But the question isn't Deuce....
He looked at Jack with glaring eyes.
It's headed for Jack.
"WHY! WHY ARE YOU FOOLS!"
"¡¡¡!!! ¡¡¡"
With the explosion of Conqueror Ace's Haki, 80% of the people on the battlefield fainted. However, Jack was still there, his eyes wide open.
'This child. the future king.'
Jack was surprised, but he knew it was too late. He will not be under Kaido, then there is only one way.
"I have to kill him."
«...★...»
"Now, this is an unexpected development."
Amon commented on the fight while hovering in the air with his arms crossed. He saw a ship coming to the island from afar.
"Oh, they're here."
It was the ship of the 'Heaven Pirates'. Amon came here flying a long time ago, waiting for Reo to come.
"It looks like he doesn't need to fight Jack, Ace will use his armor plot."
Zzz... .
Amon's body shook. He was here when Ace got the fruit so he knew which fruit it was. He went to the sky, took some fruit, and returned.
All of this happened in less than 2 seconds.
Amon's body flickered again, he went to a blind spot around the battlefield and stored the fruit there.
His body flickered again and he returned to where he had originally been.
Again, all of this happened in less than 2 seconds.
Amon tilted his head, questioning something. "Now... just decide, do I give the fruit to Reo or the Motor gang?".
It is surprising that this fruit is even real. But it's a good piece of fruit, as well as the fact that its biggest weakness is lightning, or at least what's known from MHW games, fruit users will be easy to control for Amon.
Giving it to the Motor gang will allow special things to happen, but there are some weaknesses such as their personality and weak body. Metal is not very strong for humans in this world.
'Difficult to decide ....'
Amon just sighed and watched the fight. He won't let Ace die, he needs Ace to make the 'Best War' happen. This was a step that needed to be taken in order for its influence to reach the pinnacle of this world.
'By the way, I assume this meeting got Ace and his crew to reach Wano on the canon timeline? They fight Jack after Ace refuses to help, but the plot armor saves their lives, not this time because one of them is dead.'
Amon needs an Ace to reach Wano, so he will step in if things look like that.
Fortunately, he had already prepared the identity of 'friend Deuce'.
'Oh, wait, I don't have to fight Jack. I will make Reo fight for me, it will be interesting.'
Amon tested Reo's strength, he was strong. Not strong enough to beat Jack.
That means—'Try me see if he deserves his fruit or not, in the worst case, I will kill him and take back his fruit.'
«...★...»
"Here, eat this."
Amon throws a black devil fruit with silver zig-zag encryption on it towards Reo who barely catches it.
"Father of demons...?" She asked. "Don't you say I shouldn't eat one except in an emergency?
"It's an emergency."
"You will fight Jack the Drought and then join the Pirate Beasts after becoming a spy. Understood?"
"..."
