One Piece: Reborn and Skypiean

Chapter 243

—

Kaido sat on his throne, his right cheek resting on his knuckles and his hand leaning against the dragon-shaped arm on the throne.

Using his right eye, the only one left, the other was destroyed years ago by the hands of "Stupid", Kaido stared at the gift poster in his other hand.

Ammon not only surpassed his; but also Whitebeard's gift.

He now has a whopping 5.46 billion on his head. Kaido also gets a boost in his gift, but it's not worth mentioning. There was not even a billion increase so he was still at 4.6 billion.

This would make Kaido very angry—if not for the fact that he had seen what Amon could do with his remaining eyes.

Ammon is stronger, much stronger than Kaido could have imagined.

Kaido could never imagine Whitebeard one shot, old and weak or not. But Amon did, he did when 3 more or less Emperor level fighters were behind him.

What stopped him from doing the same to Kaido…?

his defense?

Draconic scales covering his skin?

No, Kaido can't believe any of that. Because he was fighting someone who had the 2nd stage Conqueror's Haki, «Layer» .

For all he knew, Amon could come to Onigashima right now at lightning speed, and push his palm into his chest.

...Kaido has never been afraid, ever since he watched Xebec fight Roger and Garp decades ago. In that fight, when Xebec died, the fear of death was only the flame of a candle extinguished in Kaido's heart.

But now, thinking about Amon coming to Onigashima to kill him, Kaido felt a strange grip on his stomach. 

Fear . 

To be honest, the fact that fear of death makes Kaido even more afraid. 

He slowly looked at the poster in his hand. Amon's new gift poster. 

He raised his hand, towards the camera, his red eyes were cold and his horn was glowing with Ace's blood. At this sight, seeing his cold eyes but mischievous grin, Kaido got the impression of his old captain. 

Rocks D's. Xebecs.

There was no similarity between the two men's appearances, but there was one thing similar between them that Kaido could not clearly show.

Knowing that fact…

… The King of the Beast Vast, the Strongest Being Still Alive, Kaido the Oni, felt a trace of cold sweat running down his back, his eyes focused on the gaze of the Strongest Man.

As Amon finished taking the [Devil Fruit Mastery] bubble that had left Trafalgar Law dead, he suddenly had the 11 years of Op-Op no Mi experience that Law had developed throughout his life.

After eating Marco's Fruit, Amon also devoured Law's fruit, the fruit he liked the most. Of course there was a reason for that, he knew the people of this world only saw this as a simple ticket to Eternity and nothing more.

'Stupid.'

But they're stupid, but Amon isn't. It's not a theory this time, no, it's a logical deduction. If everything goes according to plan... He doubted whether an old monster like Imu could kill him at this moment.

Right now, he is excited to combine his «Kamar» with the power of two other pieces, but before that...

He looked at Raki with a smile.

“You know, Raki, I lied about my possible death.”

Raki gave him a dry look but said nothing.

“Actually there is something I have for you.”

Saying so, he disappeared, teleported, and reappeared with someone beside him. Copy of ... Rakis. 

A clone . 

Raki's eyes widened before her face turned red. Not out of anger, but out of embarrassment as he stared at his naked clone.

"This-"

“Hide!”

He interrupted Amon who started saying something and ran to his side. He quickly embodied the condensed light armor around his copy body.

Sighing at his closed clone, he turned around and looked at Amon with narrowed eyes.

“You didn't do anything strange to my body... right?”

Amon blinked his eyes three times but said nothing. He instead smiled and walked around the clone like a fruit, a devil fruit, flickering on his palm.

He threw it into the air, juggling, as Raki stared at him. 

It was a blue fruit. Raki almost doubted him for a copy of Goro-Goro no Mi Amon, but he remembered that Amon was a glowing pineapple, and this was a pale guava. 

Then, as he glanced at the white crack surrounding the fruit as if it was made of broken glass, Raki suddenly brought up a different idea.

"Sister," He scowled. "What are you planning this time?"

Why did he give her the strongest paramecia?

The fruit fell back into Amon's hands and he gave her a smile that Raki hated a little. Because it was a smile that he could not see. 

Amon's lips are interested.

"Whatever it is, you'll love it."

—★—

The Temple of Gods is a 10-story building now, with each floor compact with the things Amon needs every day. Upstairs, just under the roof, Amon stood beside the window while wearing a casual white shirt.

His eyes were low to the ground where a celebration was taking place. 

'Even early in the morning ...'

His people really consider this a big win. He knows why. The number of people who joined the Valkyrie Without Wings and allied with Enherjar was almost 4 times more than before.

From where the Temple of Gods stood, meaning that several hundred meters above the sky, Amon could still see everything clearly not only with his eyes but also with the electromagnetic field that lay in the atmosphere.

He could see everything within a circle 1,000 kilometers from his body.

It felt strange, seeing something like this in his brain. It had been almost 3 months since he first woke up the fruit, yet it still felt strange. Unusual. He guessed it would take a little more time to get used to it completely.

 Then a small grin formed on his lips suddenly. One of his clones was observing a group of people who called themselves the "New Roger Pirates".

'The old idiot.'

They are relics of the past and they should have stayed that way. But there they are, trying to get revenge. Amon could only laugh a little. Then again, he would hunt and kill them once he got the chance.

So he guessed he was going to play with them a little bit, even more so because they seemed so excited. 

But before that, he had more things to worry about.

The remaining two Sea Emperors must die.

Some of them hoped otherwise. He could have accepted them as subordinates and made them his executives when he ruled the world only 3 or 4 years later. But they were stubborn people in the old Era, even Shanks. They would rather die than bow down and take orders.

He doesn't need people like that.

He planned to attack Kaido just a month from now, and then Shanks. No need to save the canon as before, no need to wait for 9 Sarongs, no need to wait for anyone . Amon was already strong now, he could handle any butterfly effect with a smile on his face.

Evaluating the grand scheme of things, he would take his first step towards the Absoluteness by taking over the entire planet. After that, he needs to improve his game a little bit.

Amon chuckled instinctively and groaned at the same time. Part of him wants to destroy something. The part that took Big Mom's blood took her. But it was suppressed, and he believed it would disappear in a few years or so. After all, he didn't like to be messed up for no reason whatsoever.

Then he felt someone near his room.

A footstep forward and then two knocks fell on the door.

"Buddy?"

He turned to the door, his back leaned against the window and used his electricity to open the door from here.

The door creaked open, and Raki tripped as if she was leaning against the door frame.

"Oh, uh ..."

He steadied himself quickly before shaking his head and taking a graceful step forward.

He's acting graceful. Amon was almost numb.

...He was completely flat when he saw his face.

"Why are you dressed like a clown?"

Raki, with thin makeup, blinked quickly before frowning.

"Hey, I'm trying to look good, don't make fun of me!"

Amon smiled at him. "Why? Are you not confident in your natural beauty?"

He seemed to be about to start a fight, but he restrained himself and cleared his throat. He then took a pose with a finger on his face.

"By the way, how do I look?"

Raki was wearing a black kimono with colorful flowers sewn on it. There was yellow nail polish on his fingertips, and a small red pig hung on his ears like an earring. Her previously messy hair was cut straight and strands of hair covered her cheeks from her head.

"...You look bad. I'm not lying."

He was lying. She looks so beautiful that she would be surprised if Raki suddenly came in front of her like this. But he saw her dress up with his senses awakened earlier, so there was no room for surprise.

But of course, Raki doesn't know that. His pose went down, he gave him a disapproving look, and turned to leave the room.

"Wait, hey! I'm kidding!"

Amon laughs at the window, almost falling twice just as one of his clones returns by grabbing Raki's shoulder.

Raki grumbled at him.

"...It took me 7 hours to wear this, you know."

Amon still did not understand why he had to do it. But he apologized, but before he could do it, he interrupted.

"It's my birthday. Don't tell me you forgot."

"..."

Amon shrugged his shoulders. "How come? Remember, I gave you the 2nd powerful devil fruit as a birthday present yesterday."

Raki narrowed her eyes, but shrugged her shoulders and walked over, standing beside her at the window.

"Sister.." she turned towards him. "What will you do after...take over the world and everything? I want to know all of a sudden."

He looked into her eyes just as Amon did the same.

He wondered what made him so curious.
