One Piece: Reborn and Skypiean

Chapter 138

Title: I hate this...

....

"Eh.. dad?"

"Wake up, tell me what happened, Yamato," Kaido ordered with an angry face.

Grabbing his head, Yamato sat down and explained to Kaido what he saw. How the man wearing the orange hat killed Jack so viciously. He doesn't know his name, but Kaido knows it's Ace because of a report Jack made after returning from Risky Red island.

"...?!"

Suddenly, Yamato's face darkened as his eyes widened while his mouth widened. He quickly touched her waist, the place where Oden's diary was kept. That place feels... empty?

'No no! Not likely.'

Feeling nothing, Yamato immediately jumped up and looked at Kaido, frustrated. "B-Dad, my diary's gone!"

"...Huh huh? What diary?" Kaido replied with a confused cry.

....

Yamato told Kaido about Oden's diary, how he had it in the first place. Hearing him, Kaido was more confused than angry that he was hiding this truth.

However, it did not last long as the stress soon took hold of it.

It took a while for him to make two plus two equal to four, and it was immediately clear who stole the diary was – the man who killed Jack, Ace!

'According to Jack's report, the boy had an Advanced Conqueror's Haki. He is a threat even without that diary, I have to catch him and break his limbs, that's enough.'

Kaido rarely kills a promising youngster, like how in his fight with Luffy in the canon, he only threatens him to break his limbs, not kill him completely.

Still, he was still interested in One Piece, he was the Strongest Being, standing on the same level as Whitebeard, the Strongest Man, it was only natural that one of the two would become the next pirate king.

'Old Whitebeard was too old, he was not even interested in that title either. Only I am left, the diary will help me achieve my dreams.'

"Vorroo!"

Kaido suddenly felt an enormous anger towards Yamato, but as his father, he had to refrain from doing anything.

He got up and just looked into his eyes with a frown. "Yamato, go back to your residence. I don't want to see you outside for 6 months. You're grounded, am I clear?"

Yamato could only bite his lips in response. Kaido had just walked up from there and jumped into the sky in his dragon form.

His last words were: "Don't worry, I'll get the diary back."

«...★...»

Meanwhile, Amon does not just stand by, waiting for Kaido to come.

He completed important matters first, such as leaving Jack's demonic fruit in the sky along with the diary. The fight with Kaido would be difficult, so he could not hold them back, given the worse situation.

The question is – why fight Kaido?

Amon had obtained the diary and managed to make Ace a suspect. He also got Tama. Wouldn't the best course of action possible be, leave the Spade Pirates and let Kaido kill them?

'That would be smart – only if I had no more plans for Ace.'

Yeah, Ace's messed up life isn't over yet. There's a long way to go for that.

'I want Ace to join the Whitebeard Pirates. Then when Blackbeard escapes from the crew, let Ace chase him and be captured like a cannon. This time, because Ace is stronger, Teach may fail, but I will help. The Best War is the most important thing to me.'

Amon had plans for Blackbeard, but he wanted him to live up to the Best War. His body would be useful to him only after that.

'Also -'

Amon's mind was cut off by a voice.

"Hi."

That was perry.

As Amon turned around, he hesitantly opened his mouth. "B-Can we... talk?"

Amon grinned in his heart. 'I've been waiting for you.'

....

It was midnight, everyone was asleep. Perry took this opportunity to talk to Amon.

"So, what do you want to talk to me about?" Amon asked casually while leaning against the fence of the ship.

"Yes ..." Perry again hesitated, only to open his mouth a few minutes later. "I heard you were going with O-Tama after driving us to Maccurine Kingdom...?"

Amon nodded. "Yes, that's what I'm talking about with Ace. Originally, he wanted me to leave you guys on the Red Island at risk, he wanted to spend some time where Deuce died. But I'm against it because you know, Kaido might come here soon. We then decided to go to a random kingdom."

Amon has informed Ace of the possibility of Kaido's arrival and offers that he will fight him. Ace was against him, but he was weak so he had to listen. Once this happens, Ace hopes Kaido doesn't see the ship, but it's impossible with Kaido's massive body looking down from the sky. He'll, sooner or later, find this ship.

Perry's eyes seemed to be losing light. "Can't you be part of the crew?"

After a brief silence, Amon laughed out loud. It came from his heart. "Can't, Miss. My life is harder than you think, this world isn't a seven-color rainbow, things shouldn't go the way we want."

Perry looked down at the floor. "so... You must be living a hard life." He raised his head and looked into his eyes with a set pair of eyes. "I'm sorry."

2 Months of wind seen in the sky, Perry's moist eyes reflected the two to Amon's gaze. While his brown hair fluttered in the air, Amon disappeared for a moment.

'...I don't like it.'

He doesn't like to do this, but it's necessary. He needed a spy in the Whitebeard Pirates, and he was the best candidate.

Amon breathed. "Hey, Perry."

"Uh..." Perry looked Amon in the eye. "Yes?"

Amon did not say anything, he just took off his mask.

"Do you like me..?"

"..."

Perry looked at his face. This was the first time she had seen his face, she would usually shout in joy, but her heart was not in such a state right now. She only felt happy that she showed her face to him after traveling together for so long.

"I know I'm honest, but answer me, do you like me?"

As a minute passed in silence, he finally processed what Amon said and opened his mouth. "I.that's. I don't know."

He's honest. "I'm not sure, I feel comfortable around you. But is this love..? I don't know."

Perry scratched his arm. "I know I don't make any sense but maybe, I love you."

'Maybe...?' Amon laughing. How interesting human emotions are.

Laughing lightly Amon looked at his reddish lips. "You're surprisingly outspoken, I love it."

Without saying anything else, he walked over to her. Perry instinctively retreated, but Amon wrapped his arms around her.

"Good girl, I'm so sorry."

Perry did not get a chance to intercept what he was apologizing for, as Amon put his lips over hers and kissed her deeply.

He struggled because of that all of a sudden as he chirped lightly: "Enjoy it."

As he gave himself up to the pleasure, Amon slowly raised his right hand towards his head and grabbed it from behind.

"Enjoy a good night's sleep."

zzzz~

....

After making Perry's doll back to his room, Amon stood on the deck of the ship while drinking mango juice from a glass.

"I hate this - but... No, it's hypocritical. I've been thinking about this since the beginning, I'm guilty. To say that I don't like it is hypocrisy at its best. But... Amon chuckled at the sight of the little moon in the sky, it was Moon-1§. Where he built a luxury house. "Do I care?"

Throwing an empty glass into the sea, Amon had one answer: "No."

Only the goal is important. Sacrifice is inevitable.

Still – 'But, I have to be careful not to hurt some of my loved ones after 19 years of this life ...'

In the end, he just laughed. But it didn't last long.

Wooh! The wind is blowing hard.

"He is here ..."

290 Kilometers away, a high presence came towards this place.

"Look..."

Amon grinning. 'I need to call Ace and prepare for their leave'

A few minutes later.

"ROAAR! KID, WHERE ARE YOU HIDING?!'

The sound of a savage beast was heard in the New World.
