One Piece: Reborn and Skypiean

Chapter 250

“Because the head of your previous body remains, I thought I could extract the Devil Fruit Mastery.”

That was what Amon had said a few hours earlier when Raki regained his previously lost hope.

Then he ate the Paw-Bubble DFM from the Gura-Gura no Mi which was removed from the skull of his old body by Amon. 

That surprised. Did Amon eat the 4th ? Paw-paw Fruit? But Amon has no claws, for some reason. Why that?

At the mention of that, her brother simply relented and Raki decided not to think too much about it after she complained loudly about something called "hairy" that she did not know about.

Either way, after consuming the bubbles, he regained the progress of Whitebeard with the Gura-Gura no Mi again. With this, he could easily demonstrate the strength that Whitebeard could possess in War of the Best. Although he had to obtain good zoan fruit in order for his physical strength to be strong enough to make a Whitebeard Prime level earthquake.

But overall, now, he was a true Emperor level freak. Now.he only needed the fruit that his brother proposed and he would probably reach the level of the Pirate King, or at least the Peak Emperor.

The wind blew his hair into the air as it flowed like a river behind him. He looked at the 7 people sitting beside him with thoughts that were about to end.

Amon, the 5 Sins, and Yamato sat on top of the cloud car beside him.

There, Urouge also sat among them. Only Raki knows that Urouge is dead and that's why he can know that this one is a clone—Again, Amon should have a clone for all Sins. The others were unaware of this and treated Urouge as if he were the real one.

Amon did say Urouge's clone was not mindless and could even feel emotions, but Raki inevitably felt a little goosebumps sitting in the same car as that thing.

So, he tried to turn his attention elsewhere.

Raki wrapped her right arm around Yamato's stiff shoulder. Their relationship is not the best yet, but it is much better than before.

"You know, we're gonna kill your father, right?"

Raki said casually while Amon stared at him silently from the driver's seat. Soon Raki regretted her words and was almost scared to death as she looked forward without saying anything.

"..."

Meanwhile, Yamato remained silent.

Yamato with Robin as Skypiea is attacked. Robin as always manages the things that need him to get away from Skypiea, more than ever after the war since recruits skyrocketed. This time, Yamato was there with him because he did not like the limited life in Skypiea. He spends the first week celebrating in the sky and then goes with Robin to an island in the New World.

Yamato slowly clenched the weapon in his hand. 

"Amon told me so. That's what I've wanted to see for decades ..."

His tone was rough and rough and Raki immediately pulled his arm from his shoulder.

"Yes, psycho."

"..."

With Yamato sighing with his eyes closed, the journey continued with random chatter from everyone. Even Wyper.

"Hey, Amon," called Wyper, sitting on a chair beside Amon. "Is that... The real raki ?"

He whispered in a very low voice. He was there when Isa shouted Raki's name and watched Raki's head come off. So he hesitated about the girl sitting two rows behind him and chattering like a bird.

Amon chuckles while driving. "You think I'm amusing myself with one of his clones?" She said. "Don't worry, he's still alone."

After glancing at Raki who was chatting with the others like her usual self, snarky but a little happier, Wyper finally nodded.

"I'll take your word then."

He nodded to himself and then focused on watching the clouds pass by.

Then, more time passed when the cloud car came to the place where an island located on top of a mountain was visible.

Wano Kuni Country.

—★—

The Marine headquarters are being moved to another island after Marineford was damaged beyond repair by Whitebeard and Amon.

Unlike how Sakazuki migrated to the New World in the canon, Sengoku is not so bold. With Sakazuki dead, he will give Kuzan the seat of Fleet Admiral, but retire and leave the Marines alone at a time like this where someone like Amon looms in the world... .

So, Sengoku decided to move his headquarters very close to the gate of justice. This time, the Enies Lobby was not destroyed, so the gate was still as useful as before.

It would be troublesome to stretch the gates to the new headquarters, but it was better than nothing.

Currently, inside the makeshift headquarters that was still being built by thousands of marines at once, a meeting was being held.

sengoku said, standing next to the blackboard while everyone in the room was watching him.

They nodded quickly.

"Now that the two admirals are no more, we plan to promote some others of the rank of Vice Admiral." Sengoku knocked on the board. "As you can see, this is the name of a qualified Vice Admiral written here. Gion, Tokikake, Hina, Momonga, and Strawberry."

As everyone's eyes flashed with those names and they nodded.

sengoku. "I want to wait a few months for some other people to move up the ranks but. Other powerhouses knew that the destruction of Skypiea would only make the Celestial Emperor more hostile. The admiral is the face of the Marines, and without them, half our influence is gone. We need to replace them as soon as possible, so today we're gonna take a vote from all of you."

He glanced at everyone. "If there are no changes, such as, if there are no new recruits promising to join the Marines by the end of this month, you will be appointed as Admiral according to this vote. Am I clear?"

Everyone nodded again. 

There are dozens of Vice Admiral present here. Garp was also there, chewing on rice crackers. No outsider knew that his grandson had just died. They will all vote, and that will determine two winners.

"All right..." Sengoku knocked on the board. "Now, choose."

Everyone began to lift their sound plates from the table. 1, is Gion. 2, is Hina. 3, is Tokikake. 4, is Momonga. 5, is Strawberry.

So far, as the seconds passed and everyone raised their hands with Sengoku writing them down one by one, Gion took the lead in front of Tokikake and Hina respectfully. The other two are far behind.

A few minutes later, the winner was clear as Sengoku nodded at the middle-aged woman and man with the hat.

"Gion, Tokikake, it looks like you'll be taking seats starting next month." He nodded at them, and both of them just stood up and bowed.

Sengoku glanced at Hina for a moment before shaking his head.

'It's a pity that his Haki hasn't progressed much since the fight at Skypiea 4 years ago or he will be able to sit down.'

He was an officer who was really forced, and he would do a great job at it. But not only his demonic fruit. It was his mastery in Marine Six Powers and several other martial arts that he was highly regarded as Vice Admiral.

Of course, Sengoku doesn't know that Hina is just a husk from her old self, just a clone. Haki belongs to him, or rather, his 'Will' is only to complete the command given by his creator. With such a simple Will, it was no wonder his Haki was not something impressive. As a soulless puppet, this was the price.

Amon is able to inject a nervous signal into her imitating the training of different martial arts, which causes her to dream of practicing with them even though she never did in real life. It was a technique that was dangerous to normal humans, but harmless to mindless puppets whose brains were safe from overdrive from too much and too sudden information. That's why he's a good Vice Admiral.

But unfortunately, he couldn't be more useful than this. So Amon, who had witnessed this encounter from above the sky with one of his clones, was believed to have found another target.

Seeing Gion—women with spider tattoo on her leg—Amon scratching her chin. 

He immediately shook his head. 'Let's decide by coin, instead.'

Then he glanced side to side from Gion and Tokikake and tossed the coins into the air. On landing on the tail.

Therefore, as the main Amon approaches Wano, this one goes to the island designated by Momousagi Gion and enters the Marines as a rookie recruit.

—★—

Amon drops his car on Onigashima and disappears while telling Sin to start their attack.

"You think only 7 of us will be fine at the Emperor's headquarters?" Tsumi asked, agitated. "I almost died, and we were in a dangerous place only 3 days after that. Where the hell are we going?".

Yoona shook her head. "Tsumi, believe in God. He brought you back from the door of death. He will do it again, if necessary. So focus on the task at hand."

Tsumi growled softly. 'He brought me back from the door of death, but what if I was already in the underworld? Huh .'

He didn't protest though.

"Oi, shut up !" Raki whispered to Yamato. They all took refuge inside a large ship filled with weapons so that no one else but them, but no one died from being too careful. "You're familiar with the area, right? Lead us to where your father is."

Yamato nodded and stood up.

"First, call me Oden when we're in Wano, and second... Follow me."

He said, and kicked the ground. Soon he disappeared from the spot, but all sins easily followed him despite being confused by his first words.

Running fast but stealthily, Raki appears to stumble several times over the roof, but Hancock gives him a shoulder to lean on.

"Are you okay, brother-in-law?" Hearing Hancock words, Raki grumbled inwardly. "You don't have your sword, jump behind me if you feel you can't stand it anymore."

Shrugging his shoulders, Raki nodded. There is no point in rejecting good intentions.

Despite talking about the sword, his brother said he would give him a pair of twin knives used by someone from this country. He had no idea how they would compare him to the Shiki twin swords he had used until now. But he was certainly excited.

Then, they reached the Skulldome where each of them could sense the presence of the Beast King.
