Chapter 220
—
While Raki is in the Navy Happo tries to study Hasshoken and while Ace is in Impel Down and the Five Elders decide what to do with him, Ace decides, Amon is in the Judge's lab located in the Giant Jack branch.
He was sitting on a chair with a bundle of gift posters in his hand. Big Mom was a threat, which was great at the time, killing her would definitely cause the people involved in the bounty to surge, that was what happened with her crew. Amon was not present to witness it due to his time in Alabasta, but now that he has returned to Skypiea, he is getting the latest information about his crew's new bounty.
[Sin of Wrath, Raki. Prize: 1.9 Billion.]
[Sin of Pride, Wyper. Prize: 1.4 Billion.]
[Sin of Gluttony, Urouge. Prize: 990 Million.]
[Sin of Lust, Boa Hancock. Prize: 950 Million.]
[Sin of Laziness, Yona. Reward: 900 Million.]
[Sin of Greed, Tsumi. Reward: 800 Million.]
[Motor Gang Leader, Short Motor. Reward: 600 Million.]
[King of Souls, Brook. Reward: 400 Million.]
All of his previous Sin titles like 'Heavenly Princess' were changed and discarded because many pirates around the world were confused about their identity at one point or another, so the Marines had to do this. Now they were only referred to as Sins, just like the other titles of Emperor commanders.
Eventually, Amon turned his gaze to the last poster, his poster, which previously had a bounty of 4.2 Billion, but now ...
[Emperor of the Heavens, Amon. Prize: 4,610,000,000]
"Exactly 1 million lower than Kaido, eh? Kinda funny." Amon chuckles.
Whatisthis? Are they trying to prove that Kaido is still on it? Even after he killed Big Mom? Funny funny.
From Hina, he learned the reason why his reward had only increased by 400 million after killing the Ocean Emperor. In the case of a normal person, this would throw their reward directly into the category of 2 billion, or even 3 billion, but this was not a normal person. The unwritten rule is, the more bounties a person has, the less they increase over time, so there remains a balance between things. Otherwise, Whitebeard would have long surpassed Roger since it was already 20 years after his death.
Moreover, there was a personal reason initiated by the Celestial. Apparently, giving Amon a gift over Kaido would make him become more arrogant thus causing him to do his Piracy job too far. Yes, before they fought to increase his reward in the hope that some Emperors would get angry and attack him, but after the recent incident, they were against it. They're afraid.... If another Emperor attacked Amon, and if somehow they lost and were killed, there would be nothing between Amon and the World Government.
Then who will save them from him...?
After speaking with Imu, the Five Elders knew that they did not have enough strength to hold Amon back, well, other than the great Imu-sama, who was unfortunately locked under the barrier of the Barrier fruit.
Amon, who was not 100% aware of this, chuckled softly. "Oh, well, War of the Best exists for a reason.that's my biggest opportunity to date, in my 22 years of life."
After countless emotions and opportunities flashed in his eyes,****** escaped from his lips as a large figure walked in. "My lord." That's Judge Vinsmoke. "He's ready."
"Oh?" Amon nodded and put down the posters, got up from the chair, then walked towards the Judge. "Lead the way then."
For the power game, he walked a few steps in front of the Judge who directed him to the cell hidden under the room. Arriving in the room, the Judge walked forward and opened the door with a key.
Amon peered inside with a curious expression on his face. Inside, a black-haired man was chained to the wall with a frown on his face.
"It's you, yeah."
It was one of the SuperNovas, Trafalgar D. Water Law's.
"Is it finally time for you to tell me why I'm here?" He asked as he looked at the Judge, as his gaze then turned to Amon. "Or is he going to tell me?"
"Oh, hi, I'm sure you already know me?" Amon gave him a short grin. "May my people treat you well these days."
Law chuckles at hearing it. "Heh, treat me well? That's what they do, yeah. But with my crew as hostages, it doesn't matter, does it? You're just trying to use me, for reasons I still don't know. ."
Amon squatted down, laughing. "Oh, you don't need to be aware of it, to clarify. You are a Doctor, but you are only at your level for your fruit. If not for the fact that a new person with Op-Op Fruit would have needed to learn many things from the start, you would have already been killed by now. Besides, I have a better doctor for me."
Law clicked his tongue. "One more after my fruit."
Amon shrugged his shoulders hearing that. "If you don't have the strength to protect something so precious, then avoiding a situation like this is impossible. Even giving you advice like this is meaningless now."
It's been a week since Law was discovered by the Amon network. Marines are usually late to get news of the pirate's location, and when the news gets to them, another problem arises. By the time a Marine reaches the island where the pirates are supposed to be, the pirate usually has already gone to the next island. So catching a Pirate based on news is almost impossible.
However, it didn't matter with Amon, not at all, with his incredible speed, catching Law very easily after the Wingless Valkyrie told him about Law's current position. Unfortunately, Amon has no other blue eyes, so it's hard to find Law a few years ago unless he sends some special forces to chase him. Which he did not do, because Law did not need to immediately, and instead waited for him to reach the Grandline.
"So what will happen to me now-"
Law had to close his mouth when Amon grabbed his jaw with his hand.
"Sst, calm down now. I don't like talking to dead people."
Law's eyes widened. 'Dead...!?'
His fear came true. He had no idea what to do when Amon grabbed his skull with his hands just as excruciating pain invaded his brain. He felt his nervous system was overloaded and some of his nerves were bursting forward. He desperately tried to activate the fruit, in hopes of reversing his brain operations, but unfortunately, he was chained with the shackles of sea stones.
"Grgh!!"
All of this happened in less than a second.
"..."
Law's body bowed as he began to advance with empty eyes.
Amon pulled his hand from his head and hissed. "Not a brainwashing fan anymore. Maybe I'm getting soft."
Behind him, the Judge stood up with an indifferent expression on his face. He seems to be not affected at all.
"Anyway," Amon stood up while wiping his hands with a handkerchief and threw them away. "Take him to the main room. I'm so happy with all this."
Judge nodded.
«—(★)—»
Yamato sat on the floor while eating a slow burger. His eyes floated around the high-tech medical room with almost no interest present in it.
"Mm..you really do..have the most advanced technology huh?" He spoke on the sidelines of the meal as Karna nodded.
"But of course. Technology is our main working department." He laughed softly. "We didn't even have a TV, from what I heard from Mom."
"Whoa, really? What is TV?" Yamato gulped the last bite of his burger.
"..." - ".Karna looked at him with narrowed eyes and shrugged his shoulders. "Woman, why were you here from the beginning?"
"I want to see Amon's transformation."
Karna frowned while Yamato wiped his lips. "Did he allow you?"
"She said it's okay." Yamato's eyelids drooped, indicating his drowsy state. "I just want to see him become an Oni, after all we're pretty rare."
Yamato constantly asked questions while he was experimenting, which Amon allowed Karna and Judge to answer in order to keep him obedient.
"By." Karna taunts and turns to Monitor, where a face (^_^) is displayed. It's clearly a "Seraph", an AI supercomputer connected to all the Computers in Shandora, along with this Lab.
He clenched his little fist. He would not have managed to decode Yamato's DNA and make it implantable on others if not for AI. He is still an incompetent creature... Vegapunk was many times more powerful than him.
"Enough."
Just then, Amon, who was speaking, walked in with the Judge and the Law.
Amon walked towards Karna and patted his head. "You did well. Don't forget you're just a kid who's not even 10 yet. I'm sure you'll be able to do great things once you reach your 20s."
Karna gave a surprised look to Amon who immediately turned into a smile while hugging Amon's legs. "I believe you!"
"Well, it should be." Amon shrugged his shoulders. He made Isa eat medicine while Karna was in his womb. They are harmless, not at all, on the contrary, they are similar to drugs that help the development of babies from earth.only, the drugs made by Amon are less tested because he is far from the doctor. that moment. Karna is not normal at all. He could be considered a genetically enhanced human as well, but the increase only occurred in his brain. So maybe it's not far-fetched to say that he has the ability to be one of the best scientists in the world.
This time the experiment got a lot of help from Karna but mostly from the Jury. First, using the manipulation technology of the Germa Lieane Factor, they tried to apply Oars DNA directly to humans, which instantly died when the DNA began to merge with them because instead of joining, it was not, Oars' DNA starts eating their own.
Next, they examined Ceaser's experiments on children. After that, to make the human DNA adaptive, they started giving them special medicines made by Kureha, the best doctor in the world. The results were slow this time, but after trying to change their DNA according to Oars, they did start to change, albeit slowly, day by day. However, like the flaws in the Ceaser experiment, since the subjects were adults, they all died before the transformation could be completed 100%.
After that, luckily the Judge gets some failed Onis, the numbers from Kaido's army. They have Oars like powers, but they lose their minds in the process. It would not work, so the Judge demanded strong people who were able to endure the pressure of the trial without breaking up. That's where Charlotte's son came in. By using it, the Judge is able to make more promising progress. Things weren't so good at first, but they didn't just die after one experiment and the effects remained, so the progress was quantifiable and everything went smoothly.
Until they learn that the Oars race is called Oni based on the Poneglyph and some of the ancient texts that Robin found. They find out by using Moria's zombie body (by Yona) that she is also an Oni, and Kaido is most likely as well. This makes sense with Kaido and Moria's previous rivalries, too.
The great change begins when they get Yamato, the Oni who is truly alive. And when they made Yamato free to experiment, the progress of the experiment skyrocketed, and in a matter of weeks, they were able to concoct a potion - "The Blood of the Great Satan".
After drinking this herb, the DNA of the test subjects became so flexible that it was almost possible for them to eat other Devil Fruits. Almost.
And now, Amon was there, with the same potion in front of him.
"Here, my lord." The judge respectfully handed Amon the elixir which he received with a calm face.
Taking a deep breath, he opened the bottle cap and devoured the contents at once. At that moment, he almost fell to his knees because his leg bones felt like noodles, but the Judge grabbed him and helped him stay standing.
"Be careful, as I explained since elixir made your Lineage flexible, they are now quite shy. So you won't be able to exert too much strength." The judge explained as Amon nodded.
“Heh, it has been a long time since I have felt this weak...” He only chuckled while his body trembled like an old man. "Just lead me to the incubator."
The judge nodded while helping Amon walk into the glass incubator in the middle of the room. Incubator cups are very durable, but if a strong person really wants them, they will be able to break so as to kill Amon easily. To be honest it was a little worrying because there was no one there other than Yamato, who he knew could be trusted based on his surface thoughts and emotions.
That's why Law is here.
If something were to happen, he could only teleport with Amon, and in the worst case scenario, if the experiment started to fail, he could only teleport with Amon, he can use his Op-Op no Mi to reverse the operation on Amon at any time and save his life. Law is a lifeline.
As Amon stepped into the incubator, and as numerous metal tentacles surrounded it, stripping it bare while lifting it into the air, dozens of metal pipes made holes in his spinal cord and connected with his entire body.
[Operation begins, please be prepared for Hell ... Mister.]
With the sound of the Seraph disappearing slowly into thin air, Amon felt his soul being sucked...
