Chapter 131

Title: Wano (2)

....

The morning sunlight shines on the skin and dazzles above the sea water. The entire place was illuminated by the reflection of the shining and dancing ocean waves.

Under the light, a small crowd of people outside the pirate ship whispered to each other. The target of their whispers was the man in front of them, dressed in black, wearing a silver steel mask.

"It's disgusting to see you eating raw food."

The man, Amon, who changed his anonymous mask earlier, said as people looked at him confused. Obviously, as a pirate, he must be lying right?

After a few seconds of fighting with people's gazes, Hitetsu removed his sword from Amon's neck.

Amon grinned behind his mask. His eyes created a crescent moon.

"It's disgusting and a little unhealthy, too. Maybe, you can make it good, traveler?" Hitetsu said, his voice still as loud as steel.

Hitetsu was quite strong, and with his high insight, he could not sense any kind of hatred from Amon. Though in fact, it was another form of 'concealment of presence' from Amon's side, similar to Yona's.

"Thank you" Amon smiled. "I have a plan to do it, to start."

Amon plans to get closer to them using one of the easiest ways, food.

«...★...»

Fire cooking dancing.

Zzhgh...

"F-Interesting!"

Hitetsu exclaimed in shock and surprise. He was attracted to Ammon's cooking which was seen by his shining eyes.

"That's an interesting scent, it's been a long time since I've smelled something like this."

Amon chuckled and continued to shake the spoon in the pot.

Hitetsu swallowed his saliva. "I didn't think I would witness the quality of Oden made by someone other than Oden-sama!"

"Haha, you praise me too much. I can't even cook it right."

That's right, Amon is cooking Oden. In the pot there are various vegetables and proteins such as processed fish cake, mochi lontong, boiled eggs, daikon radish, konjac yam and tofu, as well as boiled in a light broth soup flavored with soy sauce and dashi special sauce.in a large hot pot in the middle of the table!

As a cook, Amon was not as level as Sanji or any other famous cook, but he was at least confident enough in his ability to match the cuisine of a swordsman like Oden.

"Haha, do you really like the smell?" Amon quickly took the bowl from another table beside him and filled it with Oden.

"How much will you like the feeling in your mouth?" Amon raised the bowl towards his face.

"O-oh!"

With slightly trembling hands, Hitetsu accepted the bowl.

He loosened his mask slightly just to show his big, swollen lips and took a sip. His eyes instantly enlarged as he leaped from the excitement.

"Ohhh! It's nice!" after a few seconds, Hitetsu's cheeks were covered in tears. "I-This is awesome! Haha!"

Oden is good, but not at the level that makes him this emotional. Amon basically makes a special soup of Oden to control it emotionally, to form a connection between the dead Oden and himself.

"Young man, thank you." and it worked.

"From... Thank you very much," she was too happy to taste something like this, the food she last tasted when Oden gave her a bowl 23 years ago. "You don't know how happy I am ..."

Hitetsu was born in Wano, he has wings like his father and it seems like his ancestors came here from another country where people have wings, Birka. Unfortunately, being very far from the family lineage, he did not know much about the Birkan God, so unfortunately Amon could not make use of his position here.

"It's okay, I'm happy to make you very happy," said Amon and handed the bowl also to O-Tama, who was hiding behind the large figure of Hitetsu.

If he steals it, he can't stay here anymore. As such, Ace's crew could not stay here anymore and they had to escape into Wano. In that scenario, Kaido, who has yet to leave, will come and kill Ace— thus destroying his greatest plan of all time in this world.

There was no meaning in messing things up just for that sword, to begin with, that sword was just a side quest.

Amon not only wanted to take the sword, he also wanted to take a blood sample of Oden and Toki's daughter, Hiyori and the Diary of Oden from Yamato.

Not only that, he also needs to keep a secret in order to look like the guy from Ace's crew and all he does is because of him. That means after Ace will join Whitebeard (Amon will pull the rope if the canon does not go the same), then Kaido will not chase Ace because he will not try to fight with Whitebeard, who will not be able to fight with Whitebeard, even if he did, it was not like he would be able to defeat them.

The only time he would chase Ace was in War of the Best.

'Why am I so sure he'll leave?' it was because he had already tried to participate in the war in the canon, it was just that Shanks had stopped him.

In War of the Best — Against two Emperors and his army, the Marines will definitely lose. So, benefiting Amon and his plan, and by his intervention, he might have managed to kill Kaido as well, who knows?

All and all, it was a win-win— situation as long as Amon acted like a good human for a while.

«...★...»

Soon after, Hitetsu walked towards the bound Spade Pirates and bowed lightly.

"I, as a Samurai, am ashamed to have caught you, benefactors." He remained in that position for a minute before raising his head. "Please, let me set you free."

He pulled out his sword and even before Ace could sense danger, slashed forward.

Shh !

The next second, the rope fell to the ground like an old leaf.

"Woo-hoo!" The crew cheered as they stretched their limbs.

Meanwhile, Amon was busy giving the people a bowl of Oden. They eagerly ate after receiving it.

Among them, the girl named O-Tama was also eating, quickly pouring everything in her mouth.

"Nom... Very tasty!" He quickly finished his bowl when he saw people asking for a few seconds and got it. Frightened, he walked towards Amon. "Sister, b-can I ask you again?"

Seeing O-Tama raising his bowl like that, Amon laughed and poured more Oden into the bowl. He showed a bright smile and again started eating his food.

Hitetsu was very touched to see this. O-Tama is like a grandson to her, she rarely has a full stomach. This made him emotional and grateful to Amon.

'Oden is certainly better than eating raw...' Sighing to himself, he took the bowl from beside him and walked towards Amon to pause for a moment.

«...★...»

"Yo, you're pretty good with the kids, sir."

A beautiful brunette named Perry went to Amon and stroked his shoulder with hers. "I wonder how you'll behave with your own children, hm~"

Amon lightly pushed her away and concentrated on cooking. "Don't bother me."

"Ahh, why are you like this? Can't you just take your time and talk to a beautiful woman like me?"

For a moment, Amon stopped cooking and looked at his face. While he was jerking, Amon watched him from head to toe and turned around with a small laugh. "I have something prettier."

"...What's?"

"There's nothing."

Amon pushes her away and prepares to cook Oden again.

Amon concentrates on cooking while the woman continues to annoy him.

The crew also ate food while laughing. Ace looked at Amon and Perry occasionally. He's just happy that he's interested in other people outside the crew, only he knows how lucky this is.

Still, it doesn't feel good to see someone interested in you acting that way with another man.
