Chapter 152

Title: I will always be there (1)

....

It's been 5 minutes since Raki turned into Quetzalcoatl.

"It seems like my theory is correct" Amon said with a smile as he watched Raki smash through the golden ruins on the small island.

When Amon confirmed the existence of the Mythical Zoan on the Seraph, he theorized the most likely outcome. The result was not the Angel Mythical Zoan, which made sense with their wings, but the Snake fruit. Yes, for Amon – Shandian people who have this special fruit makes more sense than the existence of Angel fruit.

Wh why?

Aztec Mythology. Mesoamerican Mythology. Like any other myth, it has honorable Gods and Demons. One of the Gods is Quetzalcoatl, a feathered serpent.

These are all connected to the Shandorians - the ones in this world are based on Mesoamerica, because even their Golden City is based on Mayan architecture. This is where the history of their serpent worship comes from as well.

It is no mystery why such a fruit exists in Shandora, especially since even Oda the creator of Shandora made it from Mesoamerican scratches.

'Although it is still a mystery whether this fruit was made here or brought here by a third party. However, I can see this happening in One Piece with all the connections here and there.'  Amon thought as he watched Raki stop his actions after destroying the entire ground with just his physical strength.

"He's finally calm huh, my little Kaido." Little Kaido — Quetzalcoatl is the Aztec version of Azure Dragon. This is the reason why they have so much in common among themselves.

Saying this, Amon slowly started flying towards Raki.

Raki's body began to shrink as Amon approached. Finally, returning to his human form, his body fell from the sky towards the small broken island.

Zzz...

Before he could fall on his head, Amon caught him in the air and fell to the ground.

He jumped down and put Raki on the ground, looking at her with a smile.

"Good girl, you regained control in less than 10 minutes" Amon said as he giggled and stroked her hair. "You didn't disappoint me."

Raki continued to lie down with a face of pain. "Sister, I feel pain. It's worse than when I was menstruating, shit."

"Haha, it sucks to be you, yeah." Amon laughed and smacked his forehead.

"..." - ".Raki tried to raise her hand and punch her, but her hand fell back. "Fuck this shit, why can't I move now?"

Amon nodded and explained. "Perhaps a special case for the Mythical Zoan fruit – might it be combining your body with Snake?" He touched her wrist to feel her pulse. "By the way, you'll be fine as time goes on. Oh – by the way, your eyes are changing. They're gold now, better than ever, I guess."

Raki's eyes shone as he formed a weak smile. "really?" he looked into Amon's eyes reflecting the light and noticed his changed pupils as a wide smile expanded on his face. "Good, now I have a special eye color like you! Although I would love the blood red color like yours, but it's also good, I guess."

Amon breathed. "Anyway, keep lying here until you heal. I don't think it's gonna take much time to recover... Maybe an hour?"

Raki showed a mischievous smile. "Hehe, yeah yeah. I'll be fine soon. Then I'll be stronger than you. Careful, I can steal your girl—aduh!"

Before Raki could finish his sentence, Amon tapped his forehead with his Conqueror Haki-lined fingers lightly. "Sw, you're still too weak for that."

Traces of blood slowly started dripping onto Raki's forehead as she was frightened.

"Ahhhh! You really hurt me like this! What kind of brother hurt his brother!!"

However, the next second, the blood began to dry up as his wound disappeared. "...Uh?"

"FUCK, I'M BLEEDING! STOP, Fuck! IT HURTS!"

Tok Tok Tok!

A few minutes later, Raki sat down and glared at Amon while covering his forehead. "I'll avenge you, you sadistic bastard."

"Sure, sure. It's not like leaving a scar, besides you're also enjoying the pain."

"A-I enjoy the pain?! What are you saying!?" Raki's face flushed red as she punched his chest just to feel a slight pain in his knuckles. "Ahem– ..." Raki tried her best to hide her pain and throw her face away. "A-Just let's go!"

"OKAY. Where are you going?" Amon said as he patted his chest

"Of course, I have to show off my strength to everyone! STRENGTH!" Raki punched the air continuously with shining golden eyes. It was obvious how excited he was.

Amon nodded with********tired when Raki smiled.

Looking at Raki's face with an indifferent look in his eyes, Amon began to count things. 'Regenerative power. That level of fatigue disappeared in less than 15 minutes...? And it would only increase as he got used to his strength... As I thought, he was indeed the perfect counter for Kaido. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the Conqueror Haki, which is a shame.'

Amon walked over and patted Raki on the back. "Try to use your wings."

"What's? You want my wings to bleed?" Raki looked at him with a sharp gaze but did as she was told. No matter, as long as he was going to order it, he would do it even if it hurt him.

Clenching his jaw, Raki flapped her wings once as she stopped. His eyes grew as he stared at Amon's face. "What's this?"

"It looks like your new healing factor fixed your wings, lucky girl," Amon said and walked away as Raki curled her lips upwards and nodded.

The Japanese word "Raki" means luck. And Raki's lucky. Luckily Amon was guarding him.

However, he knew about that fact, the fact of how lucky he was to have it. That's why – no matter how strong he is...

'It doesn't matter if one day I surpass you, brother. It will only give me the chance to achieve my dream – to be your shield. I used to, I, I'll – all yours.' The wind shook Raki's hair as she grinned brightly. 'Just keep it up, I'm the strongest.'

Raki clenched his fists as he called out to Amon, causing him to turn around. "Brothers..."

"Hm?" Amon looked back at him with curiosity in his eyes.

"I will always be there for you, just like how you have always been there for me. If one day you feel like there's no one next to you, call me 'Raki' - and you'll find me next to you." Raki announced with a serious face.

Amon laughed and knocked on his forehead. "Stop throwing flags,"

"flags?"

Without saying any more words, Amon turned around and walked away.

"Hey wait!"

Raki ran behind him while the wind blew both of their hair. They look like siblings even if they don't have a blood relationship – Raki knows that's why she loves him more.
