One Piece: Reborn and Skypiean

Chapter 165
Title: Take careful steps
....
Several days had passed since Amon had reached Skypiea. Right now, Boa Hancock was getting used to the place before deciding where she should stay from now on.
Meanwhile, in the blue east, in the village of Cocoyashi, a blue-haired girl named Nojiko was in her garden, reading a newspaper.
His eyes were fixed on the front yard as he leisurely lay on his stomach in the long chair.
As his eyes narrowed above the title, he slowly shook his head. "This 5th Emperor's man has become news every day now."
"This time, he announced the name of his Pirate Crew along with the news of joining the Kuja Tribe..." He immediately shrugged his shoulders. "It's none of my business, I guess. The big guys will always stay away from here, I should instead worry about the 'small' figure in the village."
He was talking about Arlong of course. The giant that appeared in this village many years ago, and ruled the villagers viciously.
'Although it's not like I can do anything about him. Only Nami can talk about him, he has been working harder lately.' Nojiko thought while turning her back.
Lately, her sister Nami has been going to the sea more often. He said people who hated the government chose the path of piracy because of Amon's influence.
"These beginners have no experience, Nojiko! Not taking this chance would be too ridiculous for me!" This was what Nami answered when Nojiko asked her to just relax.
He had a goal to accumulate 100 Million stomachs, and this opportunity seemed tempting to him.
Nojiko stared at the air for a while as her mind wandered. 'The poor girl...'
He immediately shook his head and stood up, slowly walking towards his house.
«...★...»
Meanwhile, something else happened on an Island in the south blue.
An old woman wearing a tattered Navy suit was walking with 4 young women who were also wearing similar clothes.
People gave them strange gazes but still avoided it, assuming they must have returned from a hard battle.
As the small group of five walked forward, ignoring every civilian, they finally reached the naval base on the island, stopping near the gate.
The old woman opened her mouth in front of the two sea warriors guarding the gate, "Tell the Captain in charge, Vice Admiral Tsuru is here."
Indeed, it was Tsuru who finally reached this island after narrowly escaping the deadly Sea King from the quiet belt!
It took a few seconds for the sea soldier to intercept his words. But when they did, instantly, the two soldiers shot their hands into their foreheads and saluted, stomping on the ground.
"Y-Yes, Mom!"
Afterwards, the nervous Marine Captain with a fat stomach ran out of the base and greeted Tsuru. Tsuru, not caring about him, first decides to use DenDenMushi Marines to contact Sengoku.
«...★...»
At the same time, Sengoku was in his office when he received a call from Tsuru.
They talked for a while as Tsuru explained what happened that day.
["And like that, I suddenly found myself at sea along with 4 more girls. Fortunately, they were not devillic fruit eaters, so I did not drown with their help. I heard the news recently, it seems that the culprit is indeed the Celestial Emperor, as I doubted before."]
Tsuru's old voice flowed through the snail in front of Sengoku. He had a frown on his face hearing it.
"So many other people from your fleet contacted me before, so I had a hunch that Lucifer didn't hurt anyone, including you," Sengoku said. "But to think he would somehow manage to get the Pirate Empress to join him. Thats odd... I can only assume he used some dirty tricks."
Hearing him say those words, Tsuru retorted from the other side. ["I don't think so. From what I learned about Boa Hancock, she's just a pathetic girl looking for attention. I can only assume that the Celestial Emperor gave him the attention he wanted."]
Hearing Tsuru Sengoku nod slowly. "Is that so...? Maybe you're right."
"By the way, glad you're all okay. From the child's previous cruelty with the Nobles, I don't think he'll let anyone go without danger. So I can only assume he only has a grudge against the World Nobles."
He continued. "That's it for now, I hope you'll be back soon. I'd like a detailed review of what you know."
["Understood."]
Kacha !
Like that, the call ended as Sengoku sighed. These days, most of his time passed by sighing.
"The first Kaido fight with the unknown man, then the revolutionary army, is now the 5th Emperor." He mumbled slowly.
Not long ago, Emporio Ivankov, a Revolutionary Army Commander was arrested. The Marines were expecting a move away from the Revolutionary army because of that. From the data, the Revolutionary forces are very concerned with their comrades, so the chances of someone coming to save Ivankov are quite high.
He leaned back in the chair to calm his mind. "And the Kuja Pirates... Everything gets busy."
But this does prove something. This means Amon really has something to do with Hancock, the reason why she set the demands on him years ago. With this, he must have gotten what he wanted.
"It's pretty obvious he's making his army stronger. From our information network, after devouring the Kuja pirates, he now has around 40 thousand people who can fight."
In fact, Amon had more than 40 thousand fighters. The first and strongest group, 5 thousand from Skypiea and Shandora, then 10 thousand from Kuja tribe, finally 30 thousand from Organization.
Easy, this surpassed other Emperors. "However, he was the least dangerous among all of them. He has his number, but it's weak."
There were only a few important individuals worth mentioning in his crew. And none of them passed the 1 Billion mark. Overall, Amon's crew was the weakest.
While Sengoku was thinking this, his eyes were fixed on the newspaper on the table. He had read it a while ago, and it surprised him.
"The new dragon is supposed to be a girl named Raki. I think this will increase the reward to 1 billion by now." His headache that has been active for the past few days feels a little more aggressive thinking about this. "We already have two Dragons, now we need to worry about the others? Sigh..."
'There is a possibility that this Lightning Dragon and dragon are the same person, but it is very unlikely from the previous evidence.' Sengoku.
Even more annoying, it seems like all the news about joining Kuja and having the Dragon fruit is all revealed to the newspaper agency by Amon himself. 'He was deliberately trying to expand his reputation, right?'
In the end, Sengoku sighed for countless times. 'Things are so haughty these days ...'

–Amon Pov–
Zhhh
I was standing under the shower while my body was being washed. I keep staring at the wall all the time, because after a few minutes I finish taking a shower.
I took a towel, dried my body, and walked out of the bathroom. Entering the bedroom.
As I walked in, I looked at the bed where a naked blonde woman was lying. That's Mikita, Miss Valentine from my organization.
He looked awake, staring at the ceiling. But he also drooled from his mouth as if he was unconscious, his pupils were also unfocused. So usually people will not be able to tell what happened to him.
I ignored him and walked towards the fridge, opened it, picked up a bottle of water, and started drinking it.
Cold water entered my body, because I felt at peace.
Wiping my lips, I glanced at the seemingly half-dead Mikita. A while ago, I made love to that*****, and after I finished, I brainwashed her.
He learned how to fly too fast. He started demanding things, even though I was busy, he demanded a meeting. See where it takes you, ******.
Apparently, he's too hungry for me. I don't even remember sleeping with her before, she meant nothing to me. But it seems that women are indeed weak in heart.
'No, it's actually something to worry about.' That's really.
He wasn't someone who spent a lot of time with me, so this kind of reaction was a bit? I don't know.
So this got me thinking, if someone I rarely spend with me is so thirsty, what about other women? Like Robin, that idiot, for example.
'He also refused to teach me Poneglyph, saying that that was the only way he could be useful to me, and others.' That's something I don't like about him at all. 'So I couldn't kill him, and brainwashing was impossible because I might accidentally injure the part that held his knowledge of the Poneglyph.'
Even so, Mikita's sacrifice was not in vain. I learned something new. No, rather, one of my previous doubts had disappeared.
'It's my fault that I make some people too dependent on me. To prevent them from acting like Mikita, I have to keep an eye on them.' Right now, Robin was the one closest to the bluff.
I remember I haven't given him much time after coming back from the moon.
'Ugh, my head hurts.' I looked at the bed and ordered Mikita who now had no thoughts, "Oi, go back to your room. By the way, don't forget to keep acting like Mikita."
"Yes sir." Mikita said as her eyes slowly regained their sharpness.
Also, it seems like I lost a little of the humanity I had in me. I feel nothing after 'killing him' like this, unlike other times.

–Pov General–
It was the Temple of Gods, and Amon was walking through a long passageway while his mind was in another world.
He realized something from this meeting. 'People around me will gradually reach this state. Not just Robin, not even Raki...'
Because of his far-fetched dream of conquering the vast Universe, he definitely needed something like a gigantic life span, or better, immortality. But more than that, she also needs immortality for her "friends".
'But from today's meeting, I was forced to believe that would come biting me in the ass. People will gradually realize what type of person I am, they will become disgusted and hate me. Finally, betray me.' Of course, there is a solution, brainwashing. 'But like this, in the end, I will have nothing but soulless puppets around me. That's not fun at all.'
Of course, that doesn't mean he suddenly becomes loving to everyone around him and they will become so good that they won't betray him. It was just a kids fantasy. One could not change so drastically, so suddenly, at least not a person like Amon who was still, deep down, wanting revenge.
Amon chuckled softly as he stopped in front of a door. 'I need .. balance everything with my actions. It's quite a fun act, unlike before.'
Thinking about this, he knocked on the door.
"Robin, are you inside?"
This is Robin's room in the temple.
As he said this, a few quick steps came from the other side as the door opened and Robin appeared. There were dark circles around his eyes as he looked at Amon with a shocked face.
"Washy?" He asked because he was a little confused as to why he was here so suddenly. He hasn't come to her for no serious reason lately. "Is there anything? If this is about Shiki, I'm working on the file right now-"
Before he could finish what he said, Amon put his hand on his head.
"It's okay, rest assured." He just patted his head. "Just calm down, I felt lonely so I came to see you."
"Lonely...?"
He shrugged his shoulders. "What's? I can't be lonely? I have trouble sleeping. I was thinking of sleeping with you tonight, but I thought you were asleep. But it seems you're working hard, for me. Thank you, brother"
"So, what do you think, would you like to sleep together?"
As Amon said this, Robin's eyes grew as he looked at her with his blue eyes, he mishandled her words. 'Ah, yes, we did not do it even once after he returned from the Moon ...'
She smiles. "I get it, I'm gonna take a shower, wait-"
Amon interrupted him again as he hugged him tightly. "Come down, stop thinking about obscene things. I just want to sleep with you, normal sleep. Don't forget, our relationship is not a couple, but siblings."
Hearing him, Robin blinked. He took a few seconds to intercept his words as an unconscious laugh came out of his lips.
He hugged her back and patted her on the back. "You kid, you haven't grown up at all, have you? Tell me, are you having nightmares?"

A/N: Humans always want more. Robin has been silent for months but when the limits are exceeded, she may start acting rebellious again. Amon was conscious, so he took action earlier.
