Chapter 215
—
Judge and Karna's research is going well.
They find traces of the DNA of the Ancient Giant (race Oars) in the corpse of Moria who was transformed into a Zombie by Yona. They were puzzled, since making a true half-human half-giant ancient was impossible to do artificially, how could they exist naturally?
Mother nature is more efficient than science, it seems.
To learn more about this, they give this information to Robin who researches this topic and finds Moria to be part of a race called 'Oni', which is a race of people', and after further research – he learns that the Oni race is a distant descendant of the Ancient Giant. . So almost no trace of AG blood was left in the so-called Onis.
Things are much clearer to Vinsmoke Judge as to why Caesar was able to (partially) succeed in making giant children and Numbers. Because Cheaser himself was an Oni, remembering the horn on his head.
They also have suspicions that Kaido, Yamato, Magellan, are also Oni – although they have no evidence for it.
As mentioned earlier, Amon has stopped reading the One Piece manga at some point after the death of his father – while he knows about some future plot points of the internet – is largely ambiguous to him. So he did not know in advance about the 'Oni' race, or about Lunarian – even though he knew about the latter now.
Anyway, now the point is – they got another edge in making Amon a proper half-ancient giant. Moria and Cheaser, whose blood was sampled, revealed that they had almost no ancient giant DNA, so they still had normal lifespans and had no special powers.
However, even then, this will help a lot. If only they got strong 'Oni' blood, like (which should be) Oni, Kaido, then it would help a lot.

Blackbeard stood up with a puzzled expression on his face. His crew and Ace were on the ground, lying unconscious.
What did he just see…?
“Who is that woman?”
The Conqueror Layer. It was not as strong as Prime Whitebeard or Roger, but it was still the TRANSPORT layer!
That's Yonko-level bullshit!! How could a girl who looked only in her 20s, use it so efficiently? That's Roger's level, isn't it, Xebec's talent…
After a long silence – Blackbeard's surprised expression immediately changed, a grin appeared on his face.
“Zehahaha! New Era looks great!!”
He laughed out loud in the sky, his voice echoing throughout Banaro island.
He then looked down at the people lying down, his gaze staring at Ace. “Alright, time to hand you over to the marines.”
Fortunately, the girl using the Advanced Conqueror Haki was flown by a mysterious source of lightning, which could only come from the Celestial Emperor, from what Teach could tell. Or from the looks of it, the girl won't let him take Ace away. Although he was wondering what the Celestial Emperor was doing here.
Blackbeard took out a pair of sea stone handcuffs, while from afar, a girl continued to watch him with binoculars.
"Hm," the short-haired brunette girl hummed. “So this is the end of Ace, yes. Or I wonder if Boss has any other plans for him?”
The girl, Perry, who told Amon about the arrival of the user < Thunder Bagura > laughed to herself. If it wasn't for his notice, Amon probably wouldn't have been able to save up for being beaten to death.

“Oh, are you awake?”
Amon looked at the girl on the ground, slowly opening her eyes, while she sat on the tree branch beside him.
"UU UU…."
He groaned while rubbing his eyes. Sitting down and opening his eyes at last, he looked around.
“Who just spoke?”
“Look up, girl. I am on top.”
Hearing his words, he suddenly lifted his head and looked into his eyes. First, he blinked, before narrowing his eyes, then his eyes widened.
"You-you!" He glared at her. "You're making me faint! Wait– I know you!"
'Oh?' Amon raised an eyebrow. 'Did he recognize me from Wano?'
"You're the Celestial Emperor, aren't you!? Kaido!"
Amon's eyebrows are down. 'Heh.'
"Yes, i. It's nice to meet you." He smilingly jumped down from the tree, landed and crouched down in front of him.
"..." - ".She's staring. "I'm getting angry. I should have interrogated that man named Ace, why did you kidnap me here??!"
Amon laughed when he heard it. "Well, Miss, you can't cause trouble in my territory."
"What?" He frowned. "The other guy was originally against Ace. Why don't you interfere? Why only when I come in??"
He looked really upset and angry. He had recently heard this man, who seemed to be about the same age as him, had killed Big Mom. But he's not afraid. Even though he still didn't want to fight her, so he behaved as respectfully as possible, but he was indeed annoying.
Amon shrugged his shoulders. “You are different from them. Battles between pirates are normal, I am not the World Government that will stop those fights. But you – Bu – is Kaido's son, I can't let you make a mess in my territory. I have a reputation to look out for."
It's nonsense. He just wants to take him away from Ace so Teach can take Ace to the Marines and the Best War can happen.
Yamato frowned. He's on target. As much as he hated his father, at least he knew enough of his father to guarantee that he would do the same if, say, Raki messed up on one of Kaido's islands.
It was only a law among Emperors. They would see anything that other Yonko did as poke their asses.
The frown on Yamato's forehead was reduced. "I.." he sighed. "I promise I won't cause any trouble in your territory. Just drop me on an island that's not your territory with Ace."
Yamato. He grabbed his staff from beside him and swung it towards Amon. Though the baton had just passed through his body as if he was just a hologram.
"Oh–ho, not so quiet anymore. Even though you have to stop, you don't want to die, do you?" He sighed, shook his head, and got up.
"Why do you need an Ace?" She asked. "I might be able to help you if you tell me that."
Yamato gritted his teeth and slammed his weapon into the ground. This person was an evasive expert, the type that he hated fog. "And why are you helping Yonko's son? It goes against what you just said."
"Oh yeah, Kaido's friendship? Big Mom is dead, from what I know – Kaido must be very angry considering his relationship with her." added Amon. "Even if I can't get her friendship, I can at least get her off my back by helping her daughter."
Yamato laughed with a sad tone in his voice. "Unfortunately, helping me won't improve your relationship with her, at all"
"Oh pathetic." He sighed. "Forget it-"
"Wait," he cut it. "Although it will definitely improve your relationship with me. I'll kill Kaido, soon. After that, the whole of Wano will be indebted to you if you can help me."
Amon raised an eyebrow. "Now I'm interested."
"I hear you're very fast? Even if Ace is taken to the marines, can you, if possible, go and take the diary from him? Maybe he's not with her right now, maybe he's even lost her. The least you can do is learn what happened to her, right?"
"intriguing. What's the diary like?"
"That's it. It seems normal. The only way to recognize him is his name. Called .." he hesitated for a moment before signing. "Oden's Journal."
At his request, Amon slipped his hand in his pocket and took out a green diary by tilting his head. "You mean this?"
Yamato's eyes widened. "I-it! That's it!"
He got up and tried to take the milk, and Amon let him do it.
He flipped his pages, his eyes shining looking at him as intact as when he lost him. Ace took good care of him.
He turned his face towards her. "Where did you get this?"
Amon smile. "Well, Ace kept it in his pocket that fell when you dropped it eventually. You haven't noticed it since I dropped you back then. I'm interested so I take it."
He nodded and went back to check the diary. A sigh of relief came out from his lips looking at everything that was there. Now he could give this to Momo without worry.
He looked back at her, this time seriously. "Thank you, I mean it."
Amon. "Through formality. Besides, it's a good read.
Yamato's eyes widened. Did he read the journal???
Ignoring his reaction, Amon continued to speak.
"By the way, I'm pretty busy. So I have to go." Amon was preparing to leave, but he blinked as if he suddenly remembered something. "Oh, now that you get it back, you should go back to Wano. As your benefactor, I'll ask you to stop trailing Ace and also avoid the next world-shaking event that's about to happen."
"Because, frankly," she smiled. "I don't want to kill you."
As Yamato froze, he waved his hand and disappeared with a flash of lightning.
Yamato blinked. "...This guy's…."
He had a different aura to her. He was strong, maybe not as strong as Whitebeard, but still strong. But it wasn't his strength that made him special. That's the way he talks. He's a good man.
Yamato scratched his head. "Well, I want to hunt down the Navy base that Ace is going to take with me. But I guess I can listen to his request."
"Although…"
He sighed and looked at the sea horizon. The journey lasted about a month. He had always wanted to get out of Onigashima, and now he was finally out…
"I'm not going back to that shitty place anytime soon."
Maybe he should experience a normal person's life for a few days? Traveling.eating different types of food, meeting different types of people.
Maybe he should visit Skypiea first.

Speaking of Skypiea,
"Hey, Luffy.. Are you sure about this?"
A certain crew is heading there.
"That is the headquarters of an Emperor. It's gonna be dangerous."

Author's Note:
Yamato's journey is short. He started his journey due to a misunderstanding, and he ended his journey due to another misunderstanding – both were initiated by the same man.
