Title: The Good Man Amon
....
Sengoku, after sighing once, he got up from the chair. "By the way, I feel a headache coming, I need a cool breeze."
He looked at Tsuru's face. "You have to leave now, it will take at least 4 days to reach Amazon Lily, the higher-ups are pressuring you to get this job done quickly."
Saying this, Sengoku left his office as Tsuru got up with an expressionless face.
He lit a cigarette and let out a breath filled with smoke. "Well, I think it's time to work."
«...★...»
Meanwhile, in Alabasta it was night, Amon was resting in a chair, half of his body still wrapped.
It's only been a week, and she's been fine. It seemed like he did not need to wait two weeks to recover, just a few more days was enough.
Amon was on the roof of the palace, sitting on a flexible chair that leaned slightly. He bathed his body in the afternoon sun.
Beside him, Isa was sitting with a bowl of chicken soup in his hand.
He took a little soup with a spoon in his hand and 'cooked it lightly. He raised his hand towards Amon's face, taking him to open his mouth.
"..." - ".Amon sipped the soup while staring at the sun.
Isa did not say anything, he just kept staring at his face, with eyes full of worry and giving him soup.
Moments later, Isa finished feeding him and put down his bowl. He sat on his stool and looked at Amon's face.
Finally, a moment later, he said in a cold voice, "Amon, why do you keep doing this ...?"
Amon was silent for a moment before looking into his eyes, puzzled. "What are you talking about?"
Isa let out a breath. "I'm just saying..your path to power, why are you walking this path? You can live a peaceful life after becoming the Skypiea God? It hurt you so bad, wouldn't it be better to stop?"
Amon did not want to answer, it was troublesome. He prefers to be confused.
As Amon looked at her with 'what?' look, Isa smiled lightly. "I've been taking care of you since you were born, don't think you can always fool me, boy."
Isa tried to say — In front of me, you are just a child.
And he's not entirely wrong. He may not understand Amon the best, but he knows he is the best. He could guess what he was going to do, only that he could not predict why he was doing it.
Amon continued to look at him as he continued. "If you're thinking why I'm asking this - I just want to know. You don't have to answer if you don't want to."
Amon turned his gaze with a smile on his face. "You ask - 'Why are you alive? Can't you just kill yourself? ' Types of questions here." Amon laughed a little. "What would I do if I didn't pursue power, Isa?"
"..."
"..."
After a moment of silence, Isa only sighed. "Well, you don't have to tell me. Anyway, I'll talk to Vivi-chan. I need to make sure she doesn't get pregnant too young and give her some tips.. That's too, okay?"
Amon nodded while chuckling. She had not planned to have children yet, they were just burdening her.
With that, Isa immediately left the roof, Robin entered with a basket filled with fresh fruits in his hand.
Amon looked at him and saw the basket in his hand. "Oh, Robin, I've eaten—"
"The doctor says you need to eat more because you're healing too soon." Robin cut him off in the middle of the road.
"But I'm full..."
"Patience, this is your punishment for fighting Kaido even though I forbid it." Robin sighed. "You know I almost had a heart attack when I first heard you were hurt this bad?"
He placed the fruit basket on the table at the side and leaned over Amon's face. "Don't you know I'd die without you? Listen to me at least once, huh? Stay away from other Emperors until you are strong enough."
Robin kisses Amon's swollen cheek and picks up an apple, starts peeling it with utensils.
Soon after, he cut the apple into pieces and put it in his mouth. Amon chewed it slowly, in happiness while enjoying the sunshine.
While giving him food, Robin continued to speak. "Also – there's news of a spy in Marineford, it looks like Vice Admiral will go to Amazon Lily, they seem to be chasing after the Pirate Empress."
"...I understand." Anon frowned. He expected this to happen, but not now when he was injured. ' Should I send Raki ...? No .' He immediately throws the idea away, as Raki will most likely chase after Hancock, and Hancock will probably fall in love with her if the situation looks like it.
"When did the Marines leave for Amazon Lily?" ask Amon.
"Today."
Hearing Robin's reply, Amon pondered. ' This isn't bad. It usually takes 4 days to reach Amazon Lily from Marineford even after taking the fastest route. Hmm. and I assume Boa Hancock will be able to defend against them for a few days because all the inhabitants of the island are fighters. Even if they lose – it will take 4 more days for them to reach Marineford with the prisoners, so I have at least 10 days on my hands.'
Deciding to deal with the Seraph first and Hancock later, Amon put the matter behind his head.
Robin fed him again and sat down next to him. The sky began to darken, night came.
He wanted to hug her and enjoy the sight, but he controlled himself not to hurt her.
"Vaporizing..." Ammon vaporized. "I'm sleepy Robin... I'm going to teleport to my room."
Amon said and disappeared with a bolt of lightning. He can't walk yet, but he can use his strength.
.....
Just like that, the days passed when Amon could soon walk in the next five days.
Today, Amon is in the sky with Raki.
Amon was sitting on the steps of a large round church building above a cloud. In front of the building, the sky was there, the morning sun rising on the horizon.
Amon stroked Raki's hair while yawning and staring at the sunrise. "Yawning... Raki, sorry to wake you up like this, I'm sleepy too."
Raki replied while looking at the sunrise. "It's okay - even though I was sleeping in Alabasta Palace and you suddenly called me - as long as it was you, I didn't mind." Raki raised her head and looked at her face with a nervous expression. "But... Why suddenly? Did I do something wrong?"
Amon looked into his eyes without answering, making him even more nervous as he gulped. "Is this about... how I treat Vivi?"
Raki looked really nervous, it did not match her usual appearance.
Amon smiled mischievously and patted his head. "Not that, do you really believe I would care more about Vivi than you, my sister?"
"You're most important to me, Raki. You were with me from the beginning, even on the Moon when I screwed up twice. If I had to choose between you and Vivi, who would I choose? Vivi - a girl who married to protect Skypiea, or you?" Amon wrapped his hand around his shoulder and brought it close to his chest. "Obviously, you."
Hearing Amon's teasing words, Raki's eyes widened. 'Does he mean it?'
Yep. Amon wasn't lying this time.
His heart was pounding as the words of Aisa from 4 years ago appeared in his mind. 'isa... Stupid girl, you're wrong.'
Raki averted his gaze and smiled lightly staring at Amon's red eyes, shining brighter than the sun itself.
He wanted to shout in excitement while grabbing his hand. He wants to say – "See this, Vivi ******!!" but he didn't do it.
Amon felt what he was feeling and kept staring at his face. ' Look back... First of all I want to make it a killing machine, I did not fail completely, but I do not want to see it like a –no machine. I can't see him as a machine anymore, he's NOT my puppet. '
While thinking about this seriously, Amon felt the muscles around his heart loosen. It doesn't change his morale – he's still the same cruel bastard, but Raki is the closest thing to 'family' to him now.
Chuckling while thinking whether this was a good choice or not, Amon stood up and extended his hand towards Raki. "There's something important for me to show you and give you."
"What's that?" Raki received her hand with a flat face.
"First," Amon walked to the edge of the clouds while pulling Raki.
Where they are located – are temples, churches, made above the clouds of the island that fly even above Shandora, just below it, one can see Shandora, the City of Gold.
Amon looked down at the city, specifically observing the creatures. Nola, the snake.
"How much do you know about our origins?"
"You mean us, Shandia? Or the Shandorians as a whole?" Raki replied, staring at Nola as well.
"both."
"Not much."
Amon chuckled at his immediate answer. It's very much like him. Although he tried to imitate her in various ways, she was lacking in parts of the brain.
He asked again, "Then do you think why we used to worship the Serpent as our god?"
"Because..we are stupid?"
"...Yeah, but no."
Raki could not answer and tilted her head. "I don't know then. I'm stupid in this, brother."
Although Raki's answer is stupid, in fact, this is a very interesting question, something related to the history of the Shandorians, Mesoamerican in the world of One Piece – and also related to the Mythology of the previous Ammonian world.
And why is this important?
'Mity Zone .'
It was because it was so connected to the source of the demon fruit that the AI hoped to possess by Amon. And. he was 100% sure his guess was correct.
'Raki needs to know about this if he wants to use his full strength. Although the only problem is – the old Shandians may start to adore him.'
«...★...»
Meanwhile, at the Temple of Gods above Giant Jack, a 4-year-old little girl opened her eyes from the bed.
"Hmm ..." He stretched his limbs and looked around with a flash of confusion in his eyes.
'Where is this...?'
He could not think more when a voice entered his ear.
"Interesting, are you awake?"
The girl looked around and found the source of the voice, a little man with black hair and brown eyes holding two cups in his hands.
"His name is Karna" she looked at him with a smile on her face. "Caffeine or tea?"
"Huh?" The girl screamed, confused. "I, I'm O-Tama, I don't know where Chafifne is. So tea?"
He raised his hand and Karna handed the cup to him. "Well, I only have coffee, so be patient. Huhuhoo!"
Karna laughed strangely and sat on the bed beside him. "By the way, Big Brother Amo– I mean– Mr. Stupid dropped you off here. You'll be my assistant at work from now on. Huhuhoo!"
"..." - ".O-Tama looked at him in shock. 'Brother... The fools? When's? Hows it? Where is Brother Ace then?'
