clingy !

Clangs !

In Alabasta, 320 meters below the Royal Palace, there is a basement. Currently, hundreds of people wearing lab coats along with thousands of people with collars around their necks, obviously slaves, were working on a huge lump of metal.

Slaves were hammering different parts of the metal pieces so the entire place was filled with the sound of metal clattering against each other.

Although calling it a "metal piece" would not be appropriate because it was a futuristic machine, in the form of a giant Earthworm.

Around the pointed head of the 'Earthworm', Vivi and Amon stood side by side.

|Amon Pov|

We are currently underground. Under Alabasta. Remember the Poneglyph in Alabasta, and how it went underground? It turned out that there was another floor below that floor several hundred meters below.

How do I find this? The above ponegyplh has written information that Robin read to me. Looks like he lied to Crocodile with a cannon, smart girl.

Either way, on this "floor" Pluton, a literal Ancient Weapon was present. I have theorized a lot about what Pluton and Uranus are, and while I still don't know what the latter is, the former is pretty clear to me.

Giant Mechanical Earthworm? Yeah, I wasn't expecting this when I found it two years ago. And why is this so big?

I looked ahead, my eyes a little fascinated.

"Wow, I never get tired of seeing this sight." I heard Vivi's voice from my side when I noticed she was right.

From my point of view, I can only see the head of 'Earthworm'. But with my sensing ability from Goro, I can say that this thing measuring 3 kilometers, can easily destroy a city just by rolling around.

We are not alone in this place. Many, I mean thousands, slaves and scientists, were working on the metal body of the Ancient Weapon while Vivi and I stood some distance away.

As for why Vivi is here.she is the only one who can operate it, well, besides me. Having electrical power is absolute when your target is a machine.

To be honest, though, he didn't need to be here, at least today.

"Vivi," called me as she turned around with her bright blue eyes. "You don't have to come today. You should rest." I said with a smile.

"Cannot be. I can't just leave my husband, it's not appropriate for a wife." He grabbed me and put his hand on my arm. "I'll go wherever you go."

I kissed his forehead for a while and turned to the Ancient Weapon again. I tried my best not to slap Vivi in the face because of her sticky personality. So I'd rather start thinking about random things.

First of all, why am I here? What's more, why did I tell Raki that I would stay here for months?

Wh why? The first problem is – I don't know how to fix it. I know a lot of things because my speed allows me to learn anything I want in less than an hour, but that knowledge was not enough to make me think of a way in which I could improve on something like this. So I did what needed to be done, got the blueprints...

But after that, I still could not advance at all, because the metal from which the weapon was made was the most durable metal known to man, probably made of some variation of Poneglyph, he said, and the Poneglyph is made of a material that can't melt even after I use my Plasma attack.

So in this case, installing regular metal to fix it is unacceptable. It would be destroyed soon if I did that. So how is it now?

That's where the Wapol fruit comes to play. In the canon, Wapol has created something called "Wapol Metal" which he creates by chewing different metals and making stronger ones. Scientists are fascinated by it if I remember correctly.

Wapol can eat anything, even things like magma and poison but it is still fine. So the best way to make a metal that can match the durability of Pluton is to make Wapol eat Poneglyph and take it out as a printable material. So that's what I do.

Since Wapol was dead and I had the fruit, I gave the fruit to the Giant who had a mouth large enough to chew the entire Poneglyph without any problem. Of course, I don't have Giant subordinates, so I have to buy slaves from Saobaody.

One might assume the hardest part is getting a Poneglyph, but that's not the case. Apparently, Ponegylph of O'hara was underwater. As I said, Ponegylphs are indestructible, so when the island is destroyed, it sinks to the bottom of the sea. Robin never went to take it because he was too scared, so I had to.

I only get one Poneglyph from there, and I have 10 more that I get from different parts of the world. I wonder how the government reacted knowing I stole the Poneglyphs left and right.

The giant I bought was a slave, so I didn't have to treat him like a human. He worked all day and night, chewing on ordinary metal and creating strong metal, and when metal could not get any stronger, he bit Ponegyplh and chewed it along with the already reinforced metal.

And thus, "Amon Metal" was made.

Finally, after a few months of work, quite a lot of Ammon Metal had been made to be used to repair the missing parts of Pluton. So here I am, I came here because only I can form metal as I please using a little manipulation of electromagnetism.

"Follow me," I asked Vivi as she nodded and followed behind me. I walked towards the giant who was chewing on metal and spat it out, his eyes sunken as he continued to stare at the ground above.

I touched the piece of metal that he had taken out and controlled myself so as not to feel disgusted. Slowly I passed electricity to the metal, as it began to heat up, it slowly became red.

As I said, metal Poneglyphs can even withstand my plasma attacks, but these are not pure Poneglyph metals. It is mixed with various other types of metals so it is much weaker than it actually is, although it is still much more durable than other alternatives. Either way, now I can heat it up enough to shape it. Just because I have electrical power doesn't mean I have full control over Electromagnetism, I think I need to stir up my fruit for it, so for now, for now, the best I can do is to form an electromagnetic field around the metal and change it only when it is hot enough.

Zzhhh~

The metal was now completely hot, and I could see Vivi standing a few steps back due to the heat. Admiration was clearly visible in his eyes. The metal then slowly re-formed, taking the form of a humanoid creature and soon the eyes, nose, mouth, and hairline appeared on the humanoid creature's face.

"Wait..." Vivi's voice sounded from behind. "Is that me? Whoa!"

I chuckled softly as I began to form metal rods. Immediately, breasts that were the size of Vivi appeared on the body as I saw many people looking in this direction. Vivi's face flushed red as she shouted.

"Hey! S-stop! What are you doing! People watch!"

I chuckled and once again formed the metal, the metal became almost liquid and fell to the floor as Vivi heaved a sigh of relief. All right, besides flirting, it works. The metal was weak enough for me to control but strong enough to match the durability of Pluton.

I turned to Vivi. "Daughter, you should go back now. I will work here for at least 10 days in a row. After that, I want you to work with me, so take a break from everything for these 10 days, I want you in peak condition.When I need you." I said firmly as he nodded.

This thing in front of me isn't Pluton. Only when the machine had the descendants of the Nefertiti family in it, who controlled it, would it be enough to be called "Pluton". So Pluton's not one thing, it's two things that make "Pluton".

And why Vivi? To make this thing work, one needed to use Haki as his source of power. But not all Haki will succeed. Only Haki from someone from the Nefertiti family can make this machine work. Well, at least for now. It's only a matter of time before I break this restriction.

Suddenly the decision to marry Vivi was not just a political thought. As my faithful wife, she would be the perfect weapon. Goody.
