Chapter 171
Title: Fire... (2)
....
Blood was strewn everywhere, the entire cabin was filled with the scent of human flesh.
Amon stood still with his hands down, blood dripping from the tip of his left palm.
"Ugh, I'm dirtying my hand," muttered Amon with an annoyed face.
He glanced at the corpse under his feet. It was Wapol, the foolish King of Drum Kingdom.
"It's a shame." Amon shook his head slowly. The first option was to ask Wapol to leave the Kingdom respectfully, but he did not recognize Amon so he would rather try to attack him. Amon killed him out of annoyance, not because it mattered.
Amon looked around the room. There were others around the room, royal guards lying around. Amon's orders stare at one of them, "Hey, take this corpse and throw it into the forest, the least we can do is feed the poor animals."
The guard kneeling on the wall shuddered at this. Amon frowned, "Didn't you hear me?"
Immediately the guard jumped up while gulping. "W-will you save my life if I do what you say?"
Amon smiled sweetly, looking scary because of the blood on his face. "Of course, I got nothing from killing you. You will live and serve the king I will choose for myself. Don't think anything's too smart, okay?"
After taking a sip for a while, the guard nodded loudly and shakily walked up to Amon and the corpse. He took the body with all his strength and hurriedly walked away, leaving behind Amon and many other guards.
Meanwhile, Amon felt a slight tingle on the bag by his side. He had already brought the fruit that should match the Munch-Munch fruit (the Wapol fruit) he had identified from the DF Encyclopedia. It seems that the fruit was successfully reincarnated.
'I don't think of anyone I can give this fruit to. Because it is more destructive than beneficial because the user becomes so hungry that he starts eating bricks and trees. Not very useful.' Amon concluded and decided to keep this fruit for later, maybe he could make a deal with someone with this? Who knows.
He simply shook his head, next glanced at the other guards. "Oi, where Dr. Kureha?"
In the anime, she lives in this castle, but since Wapol is still here at the moment, she has no chance of moving here.
Amon's guards asked to direct his trembling hand eastward as Amon closed his eyes. He focused on his observation of Haki, as he could clearly see everything even with his eyes closed. Then like a videogame, he turned his gaze eastward as he found a small house.
'understand.' Amon muttered in his mind as he opened his eyes. He looked at the guard again, "I heard there's a man named Dalro... Dalton's here?"
The guard nodded in fear. "He's in jail..."
"Hm, take me to see him" said Amon with sparkling eyes.

Dalton was the General of this Kingdom. He used to serve the previous King, Wapol's father. But after the death of the previous King, and when Wapol began to eat the kingdom from within, Dalton opposed it.
In the end, he was defeated by Wapol and imprisoned in the underground prison of Drum Castle.
Today Dalton lives his ordinary life, but something goes wrong. He has not been given breakfast.
Sitting on the wall, Dalton stared at the floor with a puzzled look. 'So they finally decided to stop my food supply...'
He sighed and began to mourn the death of the previous King.
He did not know that a disaster was happening in the Castle, he did not know the guards had no chance to give him food.
Just as he was about to release his third ******, a footstep entered the prison as he looked ahead.
* Cricks *
The sound of opening the gates of the prison hall entered his ears, he guessed it was time for breakfast, but he quickly canceled that possibility after hearing something more.
"S-Master, he's here..." Dalton hears the familiar voice of one of the guards as his interest grows to realize his stuttering.
Immediately, two figures walked out of the corner and stood in front of Dalton's cell. It took a while for her to apply makeup to the visitors due to the sudden light from the open door.
Slowly, Dalton's eyes grew as he looked at the tall man in front of him. He recognized her because this man had worked for the King before as a bounty hunter before.
"Is that you... Lord Lucifer?" Dalton asked, barely saying those words.
Mr. Lucifer, Amon, grinned. "That's me."
«...★...»
Amon's plan was simple. In order to hire Kureha, she needed to make him feel grateful to her because she was the type of doctor who would not serve a single person.
The best way to do that was to defeat Wapol, and then let the news spread throughout the Kingdom. With the help of the guards, no more than a few hours were needed for that to happen.
Amon was standing on the edge of one of the tall stones, next to Dalton who had eaten his food.
"Mr bounty hunter... Did you really kill King Wapol?" He asked with a frown. Yes, Wapol is a bad guy, but he is still the son of the man he pledged his loyalty to.
The next line sounds a little more agitative, "Does someone hire you to do this?!"
Amon shook his head and put his hand in his pocket, taking out the newspaper.
He handed it to Dalton. "Read that."
Dalton received it from intuition as his eyes grew reading the headlines. It was an old newspaper, talking about the 5th Emperor.
"You may not know this since you were imprisoned, but I'm not a bounty hunter anymore" Amon said with an indifferent gaze, his eyes locked on the horizon. "By the way, all I want to say is - forget Wapol. He's not the man you swore allegiance to, other than that he's a terrible king."
Reading the newspaper with trembling hands, Dalton understood there was nothing he could do for Amon even if he wanted to. So in order to please his morals, he accepted the reason. 'He is a terrible king. It's not a bad thing that he was killed ...'
Reading his thoughts, Amon praised himself in his mind and chuckled, turning around.
"So, now that the King has died, I have a better candidate for the throne, and no, it is not the current Prince," Amon said as he looked into Dalton's eyes. "I'm sure you know who I'm talking about."
Dalton needed a few seconds to understand what he meant when his eyes widened. "You want me to be king?! But I-"
Amon. "I'm sure you're good for it. When I was a bounty hunter and worked for the previous king, you left a good impression on me." Amon patted his shoulder. "I believe you."
Even though he said all those sweet sentences, he actually only wanted him to be king ever since he became King in the canon. Amon is too lazy to look for someone else.
Dalton stared at his face for a few seconds before he made a stern expression. "I won't let you down. You're right, this country needs a better king."
Amon laughing. "Indeed."
«...★...»
It took several hours for the news to spread throughout the Kingdom. Now, most people on the island are gathered around one of the towns with Dalton standing on stage.
"Everyone, as you have heard, the vile ruler of Wapol has been killed! Finally, God has turned his eyes towards us! He gives us the opportunity to redeem ourselves, to stand alone again. We'll..."
While Dalton began to cultivate a line of motivation, Amon began to look around the crowd. After a few minutes of searching, he finally found the old woman, Kureha.
'So he came here to see who his new King was too, huh.' Amon thought while chewing gum.
"So I have volunteered to be the next King, what do you think of all of them?!" Dalton announced, and after a moment of silence, everyone shouted his name in unison. Dalton has a good reputation with the citizens, so they don't mind seeing him as king.
While they were cheering, Kureha just turned around and walked away, towards her house.
Amon stared at his back as he left the crowd.

I walked away from the crowd towards my sled. I was just about to step on top of the vehicle when someone called from behind.
"Wait!"
With a frown, I sighed. 'What now? Today is not my working day, I will refuse if he wants medical help.'
Deciding on this, I turned around but the unfamiliar face confused me. I'm the only doctor a civilian can see, so I know most of the people on this island, and I'm sure he's not from here.
It was a young man who looked like he was in his 20s. Long shoulder-length hair, red eyes, and a black jacket. He had a handsome face but was cute as well, although it was not important right now.
I said, "What's wrong, son? Today is not a work day, so I can't help." Still, thinking he was just a traveler, I answered him, hoping he wouldn't bother me anymore.
However, his next words made me widen my eyes.
"I'm not a Boy, I'm the Emperor of the sea, the 5th Emperor. I'm here to ask you to work for me, Dr. Kureh." The young man said with a friendly smile on his face.
I frowned. 'Emperor 5th?' Now that I think about it, he does look like that kid. I recognize him because he is quite famous at the moment.
'He wants me to work for him...?' That's a pretty interesting offer. To be honest, I had a double thought as to whether I should reject it or not.
'Huh, to think my old bones are still looking for adventure.' I just shook my head. I'm not sure where he got the news about me, because I'm not such a famous doctor, but it makes me feel good.
However, "Sorry son, I, as a doctor, cannot limit myself to serving only one person. My morals don't allow that." I said honestly, keeping an honorable tone. The emperor was quite irritable, I heard.
The young man was silent for a moment before he shook his head. "I'm not offering you to be my exclusive doctor. You can obviously do your job as a doctor with someone else beside me. My kingdom has a sufficient population, you are free to help whoever you want there."
'?' I was a little surprised. I didn't expect his offer to be this cheap. My only problem with working under someone is that they will force me to help someone other than him.
Honestly, this is not a bad proposal. My ego wants me to join the Emperor army, it will be fun. But- "That's a good proposal, but suddenly I decide."
I should reject it. I still have one job to do, to make cherry blossoms bloom on this island. But rather than reject it outright, I will reject it tomorrow.
As I said this, the young man nodded. "It's okay, take your time. I also have time to do it. Dalton asked for my help, he said it would be better if this cold weather were gone." He grins. "And I'm good at changing the weather, you know."
....Whahuh?
I was surprised and somewhat hopeful.

–Pov General–
Meanwhile, the Wyper group had reached the Kingdom of Germa. It was several kilometers large and floating in the sea.
The 10 ships had surrounded the Kingdom as Wyper stood on the edge of one of the ships.
Urouge also stood beside Wyper. Tsumi and Urouge were the only Birkan people who came to this expedition, and they were strong.
The Canon Urouge has the power to take down Snack, one of the Sweet Commanders. The current Urouge was stronger due to Amon's influence, he could even match the Wyper's strength after storing sufficient 'Karma.
Urouge had one job, doing mass control. Germa 66 had about 10,000 soldiers in total. Although the soldiers were weaker than the God Army, with their weapons, they could match them. So to suppress them, it takes a tank-like Urouge.
Wyper is the main force of this mission, he plans to face the royal family himself. He wants to test himself.
'If I die, it's because of my own failure.' Wyper thought as he clenched his black spear. The spear is made with a special material that Amon found in space. It can resist heat about 40,000 ° C for several hours before melting. It would be his main weapon for this expedition.
wusss !
As Wyper thought to himself, a red mist appeared in the air above his head.
Wyper instinctively raised his hand as the red shadow, Ichiji, kicked at his face.
! _
Wyper blocked him as a grin appeared on his face
The other party, Ichiji, also grinned. "Oy, Fire Fist, is that all you have?"
Wyper did not respond as he flipped his spear and stabbed towards Ichiji. "Speak for yourself, you chili bastard!"
Ichiji quickly dodged the spear by bending his waist, but Wyper then raised his other arm, his fist, towards his face.
Jesus !
Before Ichiji could react, flames surrounded Wyper's fist as he swung it towards his chest, hitting it and throwing a few meters into the air.
"ARM FIRE!"
