One Piece: Reborn and Skypiean

Chapter 240

—

Amon almost forgot Vivi. He only realized it after flying halfway. Fortunately for him, Vivi was not as stupid as she used to be. When she returned to check it out 20 seconds later, Vivi was already underwater, returning to Alabasta.

To make sure he didn't die underwater from the sudden loss of Haki, one of Amon's clones now accompanied him. 

On the other hand, by the time Marie in Marineford besieged and captured the remains of the Whitebeard Pirates, Ammon and Sin returned to Skypiea.

“Good work, everything.”

Ammon smiled at the sin that was lying down or sitting on the floor of the Temple of God. Some smiled at the compliment and some just took it with a grain of salt. They can do it better .

“The truly amazing person there is you, We-ku,” said Yona, sitting from her back. "I, on the contrary ..."

He bit his lips while breathing. "I'm sorry you had to save me from a weakling like Doflamingo."

Amon waved his hand. “Again, you are not a physical fighter, don't let it bother you. Remember, you have other work to do with all the new bodies we have. That's the time for you to shine.”

Yoona nodded with a smile. He hoped to be rebuked for disappointing his Lord, but again, the God he served was a compassionate being.

Then surprising not only him but everyone, Amon also slumped to the floor. He would usually make his own chair and sit there. But maybe he was just trying to show recognition for their hard work...? They don't know.

But Amon did show his appreciation. They really did a bad thing, most of them at least. But he had benefited greatly from this, acting as if he was satisfied with them just once wouldn't be bad.

“Wyper, by the way, your results are the best. Dropping the Admiral was no small feat. ”

Hearing Amon's words, Wyper showed no signs of happiness, and simply turned his head in the other direction. Other sins laughed and giggled at him, even Urouge.

Raki, on the other hand, jerked her head off the ground. “Hey, what about me?! I killed the Pirate King's right hand!”

“ With the help of Yamato. Yes, it is very great.” Amon shrugged his shoulders. 

"Sad." Raki clicked his tongue and let his head fall.

The Sins laughed again, which made Raki smile along. He knew he didn't mean it ... Doesn't it?

"Anyway," Amon stood up. “It needs celebration, you agree? I'm sure the others were eager to throw a party for weeks. ” He then looks at his watch, which surprises others for having survived the fight. “Hm... I still have some important work to do, so I'll go back there. But you guys enjoy your time.”

Ammon was about to leave, but a voice called out.

“U-um...” Hancock interrupts. "Can't you rest too?"

Amon looked at his face, before smiling gently. 

"No. Not yet."

He was mentally tired, right, but God preferred to finish his work first.

—★—

A week has passed since then.

The world is in chaos. More than that in the timeline of the canon. Amon knew there was no way for a new pirate to jump into the sea without the famous phrase, "One Piece is real!", But he had another way.

After all, he needed chaos to grow.

There's a reason Robin went to Morgan's Big News. Not just to announce one piece of news, but several.

[Amon Sky Emperor is the Strongest Man Still Alive — how much is that true?!]

[Amon Sky Emperor learned about One Piece from Scopper Gaban!]

["One Piece is real." The Celestial Emperor said!]

[New Pirates rise from all over the world!]

[The Celestial Emperor recruits bounty hunters in the Valkyrie Without Wings, and Pirates in the Einherjar Grand Fleet!]

It was chaos, really. All of Ammon's allies who were skeptical of Ammon's power, such as the Happo Navy, were busy wiping away their sweat. Fortunately, they had not crossed the line until now.

The general public already called him the new Pirate King. If Amon wanted to, he could have forced Morgan to announce that as well. But he doesn't want that. He likes to win and conquer, right, but he also likes the process as much as he likes the end result.

Getting such a title would not calm his heart. What does Power mean if you still have to cheat?

But he has a new title. “Men Closest to One Piece!”

With his new bounty of 5,464,000,000 berries, he is now more sought after than the dead Whitebeard and even Monkey D. Dragon, which has a bounty of 5.36 billion berries.

Today, among the living, Ammon has the highest gift.

He also became the new "Most Wanted Man. Amon is on top of the world.

He is very happy with how things are moving forward. But, AI, the words Seraph made him frown.

[Hm, from the clip... would I say top 10? It should be a little lower.] The AI fell silent, some equations started happening on its screen. [Oh. Surprising. You should be considered as the 5 strongest creatures that have ever lived in the history of this world.]

Amon is expected to be in the Top 3, behind Imu and Joyboy. But there were 2 more people in front of him, people who were already dead . The dead don't tell the story, right, but it concerns how he's still not the strongest creature to ever live after 22 years of fighting.

The good news is, he'll get another boost of strength.

"Forget that. Tell me whether our previous theory of Multiple Devil Fruits matches Teach's body or not.”

[Indeed.] Soft whimper left AI. [I'm surprised it's true.].

Then again, after thousands of theories and hundreds of experiments, if Amon still can't guess Blackbeard's secret, he must abdicate and give the crown to Raki, the head of the muscle.

—★—

Zephyr, aka Z, recently left the Marines. Something would have happened a little later, if not for the existence of Ammon. That was the reason why he did not join War of the Best.

In the short time after leaving the Marines, he plans to kill Doflamingo, the man responsible for the death of his old fleet. The same guy who took Z's right arm.

But fate never sided with him, did it? The man he despised the most, the man who did not let him sleep at night, was killed by another greater evil, Amon .

Zephyr would feel grateful to Doffy's killer because he wasn't brave enough to endure the death of the Heavenly Dragon, even if it was his first, on his shoulders. But he could not feel it, for Amon was a Pirate, and a greater evil than Doflamingo. He had killed many of his old naval colleagues, and even his two disciples, Sakazuki and Kizaru.

Of course, the only emotion he felt towards Amon was Rage and Disgust.

All of Zephyr's anger shifts away from the dead Doffy, and leads him to Amon, the Closest Person to One Piece.

But he knows the limits. He was an old man. Even in his prime, he doubted if he could even fight Amon. Now, he was just a husk from his previous self.

He needs a new plan. And as if heaven was on his side all of a sudden, an opportunity arose.

"Nails, to think a day will come when the Roger Pirates will come knocking on my door."

Zephyr walked through the door and looked at the round table where a dozen men were sitting. Haki's observation told him about some more presence outside this room.

The remains of the Roger Pirates who gathered after the cruel death of the Captain's Son and their Right Hand. Buggy is the one who helps them get together. The clown is completely enraged after seeing Rayleigh die, and Gaban is kidnapped. He doesn't care about Ace. So, using his name as a member of the Roger Pirates, he gathers criminals under him and orders them to find the other members.

Normally, it was impossible, because Amon had already tried and failed before. But this time the remains attempted to contact each other on their own. So, with a little effort, they could get together in a few days.

 Zephyr looked at the table. Each of these old men could shake the world in his prime. But now, they were weaker than him.

“You know, I will never help you, the greatest evil that ever lived. But as they say, use thorns to uproot others.”

The people on the table trembled, their bodies trembled in anger or just because of their age. Zephyr doesn't know.

With a mock, Z spoke. "Ain, come here."

Hearing his words, from behind him, a dark blue-haired girl walked forward, her face firm.

The old men stared at him as Z ordered, “Now, do your best, Ain. Use your Return-Return fruit to send them back to their Primes. Good as new.”

With a nod, Ain walked forward.
