One Piece: Reborn and Skypiean

242

Chapter 242

—

A major celebration is taking place on Skypiea and its small islands scattered around the White-White Sea.

People have been enjoying their lives for the past 2 weeks after their Supreme Ruler, Amon, defeated the Strongest Man in the world in a single sweep.

Amon was of course busy with his Many Fruit Experiment, as we spoke, along with Raki, but the others did enjoy 

Initially there were only two would-be winners; the Whitebeard Pirates, and the Marines. But now that the war was over, the victor was already in sight. Shifting between the two factions, Einherjar grabbed the biggest advantage of War of the Bests. Skypieans did not miss the opportunity to enjoy that glory.

The Gift of the Seven Deadly Sins, and their companions, Shortmotor and Yamato, were renewed into a large new number. Except for Shortmotor and Yamato, who each had 700 million and 600 million stomachs, the other participants stood far above a billion stomachs.

[Sin of Greed, Tsumi - Bounty: 1.02 billion stomachs.]

[Sin of Sloth, Yona - Bounty: 1.23 billion belly.]

[Sin of Gluttony, Urouge - Prize: 1.31 billion stomachs.]

[Sin of Lust, Boa Hancock - Bounty: 1.42 billion stomachs.]

Four of the six sins currently have a bounty of over a billion, while the other two are worth over two billion .

For reference, Scopper Gaban had only a bounty of 1.98 billion berries in its heyday. Although Silvers Rayleigh has 3.2 billion berries, does it mean that no Amon commander was close enough to Rayleigh in his prime – or perhaps just a matter of bounty? Perhaps his top two had long since surpassed the Dark Lord? Amon could only guess, but he did not negate the second possibility completely. After all, it took Yamato and Raki's combined efforts to kill the weak Rayleigh .

But, no one cared about the Sin of Greed, Tsumi, who ate the big pies one by one while smiling widely.

“Uahahaha!”

He laughed triumphantly.

"Woo-hoo! I did!"

He shouted while his unit, behind him, cheered.

Each Sin had his own army, although they rarely played their Leader's duties and instead spent time on training, which Amon preferred. Their Deputy Commander is instead looking for their troops. But today, under their leader, the Greed Faction partied alongside their captain.

They share Tsumi's happy spirit, but they are unlikely to understand the excitement Tsumi feels.

He's doing. His head finally passed the one billion mark. A part of him could hardly believe any of this. From the desolate and remote island of Birka, to here, as one of the most sought-after individuals in the history of the world.

Counting everyone still alive, she was the 15th most wanted person and the 4th most wanted woman in the world. How crazy is that?! Now, no one had counted the population of the planet before, but Amon did so because he was curious and bored. The Wingless Valkyrie has had this as a side project for decades, and just a few months ago they completed the tally.

In this world, taking only humans and creatures that share human intelligence, 70 billion people live in this world. It wasn't an entirely accurate number, but it was very close.

Tsumi, a girl who would live her life quietly, had to settle for nothing more than a little respect from some stupid Birkan, now stood here, in the top 15 most known live in this world.

Other than him, only God knows how happy it is to flow in his veins right now.

“Everything, you p~may not know.” Tsumi's voice trembled, proving her drunken state. "But I am quite rich, being a Sin pays well."

That's right, everyone agrees. There are even rumors that Sin produces 10 million berries every month, at a minimum. That does not include the bonuses they get for recruiting/capturing pirates and marines, and or completing missions.

Everyone stared at his figure as he crawled on the table and stood upright.

"From my vault" he said. "I gave 500 million berries to be spent by my soldiers !!" She cheered. “Be happy, everyone!”

'So, he's not greedy at all.'

The crowd thought in their minds, and another huge cheer blinded the entire place before suddenly stopping as the sky crackled with purple lightning. Showing the displeasure and aggravation of their Lord.

'...He must be busy, yeah.'

Tsumi apologizes, which she knows Amon can hear.

'And here I plan to beg for one night in nirvana ...'

He sighed, shaking his head slightly before his excitement returned. After all, he would celebrate for another 2 weeks!

—★—

Not all sins cheer with their soldiers like Tsumi. Raki is busy with Amon, and Urouge is meditating under an artificial waterfall. Only Hancock and Yona celebrate.

Hancock was with his Kuja Pirates, where Isa, Aisa, and Otama also joined. Hancock treats both of them like family (more than Raki who keeps calling her a whore) because Isa is someone Amon seems to care deeply about women who do not share sexual relations with.

Yona, on the other hand, is only forced by Brook who is now more or less his Butler, to at least do this much for his army. He preferred to sleep for a month, but he did that since returning from the War, tired from the Healing Tears that healed his wounds.

So, he decided to listen to Brook this time, but. he was brought back to his castle in New Thriller Bark after drinking 'too much', which was actually just a cup of drink.

On the side of his mind, Amon who had unknowingly observed all of this took notes to make him resistant to it later.

All sin is under Amon's watch, but there is indeed someone beyond the new reach of Amon of the Goro-Goro no Mi…

"Yawning ..." Wyper vaporizing.

Like here in the freed Dressrosa where his blood cousin Wyper is present.

“*Sugar* *Sugar* *Sugar*”

After pouring the liquid through her throat, Wyper threw the liquor glass back and wiped her lips, her lips stretched enough to show off her smile as she walked down the busy street of Dressrosa.

As he walked, his eyes moved to the poster hanging in the sky more than once. They focused on Raki's poster for a bit, before turning it on themselves.

Seeing the numbers flying at another time, he couldn't help but feel better. He also had to force his smile to not widen any further, afraid that his lips would split in half.

He finally did, didn't he?

[Sin of Wrath, Raki - Bounty: 2.39 billion stomachs.]

[Sin of Pride, Wyper - Bounty: 2.42 billion stomachs.]

He finally surpassed the annoying girl.

That's not a big difference, he knows. But , he finally did!! Now only Amon was in front of him…. But Amon doesn't count, not yet. For now, he is happy.

More than pleased, as he saw a stern expression staring at him from the poster, his right hand went into Akainu's chest.

Wyper let out a soft laugh, his purple shirt sparkling in the sun.

Then he saw the posters hanging on top of Sin's posters. Amon's poster, showing his 5.46 billion berry prize on display.

Suddenly.Wyper felt a doubt rise in his heart.

Amon is strong now. Far from his reach. He was no longer on par with her, as a descendant of Calgara.

Although ... were they ever equal?

'…no.'

Part of him told her that. When he, the son of Viper, thought of beating up the children, Amon was already there as the leader of the tribe, having defeated the same Viper.

Right now, the gap between them was greater than before. Even Wyper was terrified when Amon killed Whitebeard casually like cutting off the head of a goat.

It is unbelievable .

"... Fuoh ."

Wyper regained consciousness. He sighed and broke his neck, his eyes still focused on the posters hovering around Dressrosa's sky through the rope.

She's in dressrosa, right now. He came here a week ago. Sins are allowed to celebrate for as long as they want, but at least Wyper can't just take a break when there's work left.

Wyper came here as soon as he got the order. The Doffy family caused a ruckus in the Kingdom after Doffy's death. Wyper should come and calm things down a bit... He already had information about the family, so he skillfully avoided Sugar and ended everyone. Sugar is not killed. He was just chained with a sea stone.

Monet, Sugar's sister, seems to plead with Amon for days, crying and everything, before Amon lets Sugar survive. Sugar will be brainwashed when Amon breaks from his job.

Although Wyper doesn't understand why Amon listens to a girl like Monet. He knows the story behind them, Raki laughs at Sin about it, telling how a wishful woman tried to seduce Amon with her beauty.

Monet was supposed to 'woo' Amon on Doffy's orders after Amon more or less took over Punk Hazard 3 years ago, after returning from the Moon. Amon visited there occasionally, taking a look at Caesar's progress, and it was an opportunity for Monet to seduce Amon.

He failed, of course. Wyper would be disappointed if Amon was seduced by someone like Monet when he had a prettier wife. What Wyper doesn't understand is why Amon plays around and doesn't kill or brainwash Monet, even if he fails.

Is he perhaps tied to her?

Wyper almost banged his head against a nearby wall thinking so. He is not very good at reading emotions, but even he can tell Amon hardly even cares about anyone who is not a Sin or a family. 

…Maybe Amon is just bored? That seems like a good possibility. Boredom in people who are too powerful always makes them act strange. 

Wyper then shook his head and yawned. He does not care about Amon's revelry.

Wyper's tired after working here. She rarely gets the minimum sleep, and now ...she knows going beyond Amon will be a long-term goal, she decides to enjoy her life a little bit too.

As he walked down the dressrosa path, people bowed to him in gratitude, Wyper had a strange thought that flashed through his mind.

...Maybe he should get a wife? Or at least a girlfriend?

But who….?

The blonde girl's face, Conis, flashed through her mind for a moment, before she shook her head. First, she hated her annoying personality, so it was strange why her face appeared in her mind. Secondly, he did not touch any girl from the skypiea, who knew what Amon was doing to them.

Wyper walked down the street, his mind deep in his mind. This time, for the first time in years, his thoughts were not about how he would train the next day.

Wyper felt the weight on his shoulders slowly pulling, as he relaxed .

…

From Dressrosa Royal Palace, lying naked on Master's bed, Amon nodded, satisfied with the manipulation of his brain waves. For the first time, it was not a bad kind of manipulation.
