Chapter 159
Title: 2 days (2)
...
Deep in the sea, three mermaids swim around a giant mermaid.
They were the three princes and sole princesses of Fish-Man Island and the entire Fish-Man race as a whole.
The sea, as usual, was full of fish. However, strangely enough, this time around, there were dozens of Sea Kings around who were swimming everywhere. The reason was - this was the Sea King realm, where even Neptune would not dare to come.
However, of course, Poseidon was not worried.
Mermaid Princess Shirahoshi said in a cheerful voice looking at the Sea Kings, "Everything! I missed you so much!"
Hearing this the Sea King, as if understanding what he meant, exclaimed in an extremely resounding voice.
"Kuuuu!"
"Wooobuuu!"
The voice made Shirahoshi laugh in a happy voice. "ahaha! Good to see you too!"
It was quite strange to see how he spoke to a creature that was believed to have no mind.
Meanwhile, his three brothers smiled lightly at his happy smile.
The older and most responsible older brother said, "It's nice to see her so happy. If only mom and dad could come here every day."
The two brothers heard it. "You're right, that must be unfortunate."
Then, the older brother again said in a hurried voice, "Oh, have you heard? That Skypiean man, he is the Ocean Emperor now."
The two brothers looked at him confused. "That's old news, Aniki. Why are you bringing it up now?"
The older prince just laughed. "Haha, not much. I just remember, if she wasn't around, mom wouldn't be with us. Not only that, we will be forced to lock Shira in her room."
The youngest brother laughed hearing that. "I know for a fact that he is truly at the top of the good man I have ever met. Without him, I don't think we'd be qualified to participate in the upcoming Reverie in two years."
"Yes, I think you're right."
"Haha, yeah, yeah."
While the three boys were laughing to themselves, the princess giggled with the Sea King.
This time, he was not a whim. He was much more mature than the canon because he was not unfortunate enough to remain locked in his room. There have been several incidents due to this change, such as many pirates trying to catch him and even Nobles from all over the world wanting him, but all of them were resolved due to Shandora or Whitebeard's reputation.
Shirahoshi had not shown her strength since waking up the first time, however, she was able to communicate with the Sea King with whom she established a close relationship with the fish.
And most importantly... Amon knows about it all.
«...★...»
On Skypiea, a small artificial island floats 4 kilometers away from Shandora. It was the renovated Gecko Moria ship, the New Thriller Bark.
In the mansion hidden behind many architectures, Yona was sleeping soundly. It was late, but he was still sleeping. It was because he was so tired lately, worrying about Amon.
Yona hears Amon is injured, severely injured. But his job makes 'Jail' stop him from visiting her. He felt he, the warden of the prison, was imprisoned here.
It was a feeling of frustration, a feeling of not being for his God when he needed it most ...
Fortunately, before losing her, Amon suddenly returns to Shandora with Raki, and Yona is able to meet him. Although she spent most of her time with him when he was here, it had been three days since they left again, so Yona gave everything and was almost done making Prison.
A prison in which lies a perpetual night, in which the red moon never sets and the sound of the ocean waves never ends. Here, thousands of shadows exist, with the shadow's owner.
This is a place that will be very important to Amon... This is the "Under World".
On top of that was a cheerful garden, but to the people underground, this was hell!
"??!!"
Suddenly, Yona, who was fast asleep, opened her eyes.
An annoyed voice came out from his lips. "Someone tried to escape. Those fools..."
He had placed several shadow clones under surveillance but one of them had been destroyed.
However, he opened his eyes wide the next second and yawned. "Vaporize. I don't seem to worry about anything."
The humming swordswoman had already dealt with this matter.
"The evil spirit.... He's cruel like I never thought he was." Yona tiredly fell onto her soft pillow and slowly closed her eyes. "I'll talk to him later.."
He yawned heavily and went back to sleep.
«...★...»
Meanwhile, in Alabasta, in the Capital, the main branch of the Valkyrie Without Wings existed.
The branch is managed by Robin, who mostly lives in Alabasta Palace these days.
While Robin was sitting on a large chair with a friendly smile on her face, she saw a few people in front of her.
Today, some new people get their promotions.
A black man buff. A woman with bush-like hair. A middle-aged man with black hair. A little girl at the age of 16. Another black man who was less excited. A woman with blonde hair. — They are the ones who became the main cast of Baroque works in the canon.
Since such an organization did not exist in this world, they joined the Valkyrie Without Wings. They are also much stronger than canons, because they know Haki.
Robin said in an indifferent voice, "Alright, then from now on, your code name will be changed. Mr. 1 and Miss Doublefinger, you two are a team. Master 3 and Miss Goldenweek, you two are a team. Mr 5 and Miss Valentine, you two are a team."
While everyone was nodding, the man in the middle wearing thick makeup and a flamboyant goose-themed ballet outfit looked puzzled.
"Wait a minute, what about me? I don't see someone I can partner with—ahh, maybe it's you, Miss All Sunday" the man said with a stupid smile.
But Robin shook his head. "No, you have a partner too. Miss Full night. He's out, on a mission on Fish-Man island."
"I hope I'm clear, Mr. two."
The man, Master 2 also nodded with a bitter face.
Robin continued. "There were twenty people at the top of this Organization. Even though you have names like 'Master 1' and 'Master 5', don't think there's no one above you. You are just a rank that outsiders can reach. The ones above you are all insiders, like Mont Cricket and me." Robin finished his words in a non-chant voice.
A blonde girl, Miss Valentine who had been working for Amon for 5 years ago, asked, "Wait, does that mean we can't get any more promotions?"
Robin giggles. "Rather than thinking like that, think that you have reached the pinnacle of your working life."
He said, "We are a large group of 30,000 members, even after so many people left after Luci became Emperor. Being in the top 20 here, that's a great achievement for all of you."
Robin looked at Miss Valentine while nodding helplessly. Valentine has weak powers that allow him to weigh more or less. It was impractical in real-life combat, but after he learned the Six Seas Strength, it became a useful ability, letting him climb to the top of this monster-filled group.
Robin thought, 'He's the least talented here .. no, the least talented is Mr. Five the man. Luci says he needs to brainwash because his power is too strong. Theoretically, one day he could reach Whitebeard's level. It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it...'
After shaking his head lightly, Robin then looked at their faces. "By the way, everyone can take a 1-day break as a promotional gift from me. But remember, after a break, you should return to full strength."
"Yes Mom!" Everyone cheered in unison and retreated slowly, leaving the room leaving Robin and Miss Valentine behind.
Miss Valentine walked up to the table and leaned forward. "Hey, Robin, where's the boss?"
"...He's busy, and watch your tone" Robin replied as she took a sip of the packaged mango juice made at Skypiea. 'Sweet mango delight... Now I know why Luci was addicted to it.'
The blonde woman shouted impatiently, "Hey, come on! He came back from wherever he went 2 months ago, but he has never met me!"
Robin breathed helplessly. "Why him? She doesn't even have enough time to spend with me, you're just a girl she uses to relieve stress."
"..." - ".Valentine frowned as he wanted to slam Robin in the face. "Who do you think you are, you want to be a sister. How long have you been acting? Just 2 years before you beg to fuck, you whore."
"You, watch your mouth!"
"Shut up!" Valentin turned. "I hate your attitude the most. Don't worry, I'll meet him somehow, even if I need to visit the sky." Saying this, he went through the door.
As if nothing had happened, Robin took a sip of his juice. 'I warn you not to fuck too many girls or something bad will happen. Look at this now.' he immediately sighed. 'Although I can't believe you won't think twice before brainwashing. Your cruelty is what comforts me the most, my love.'
Robin giggles to himself and dreams of his nights with Amon as his eyelids slowly close.
