"You really think this is a nice dress to wear even though I'm going to fight?" Yamato asked Amon, looking all over his body.
Yamato had two strands of hair fall onto his chest where he wore a green t-shirt and a white jacket on it. Under his body, his black tights clenched tightly around his thighs. On one side, he was holding a black thorny bat in his hand. On the other hand, he wore a gold ring on his wrist.

"Eh, blame your temporary captain." Amon shrugged his shoulders.
A few seconds later, Yamato sighed seeing the short brown haired girl dodging her eyes.
All sins have a different uniform than others. That was why all the members of the Sins battalion also had different clothes from the other Sins subordinates.
"Also," Yamato turned to Amon again. Then he raised his wrist and pointed to the golden ring. "I don't really need this." He said, "Uh, I mean, I'm grateful and so on. It's very cool and also flashy, but I don't think I'm even going to use it in a fight. So putting it in my armor could actually damage it. ..."
Seeing the ring that could summon the Suit Raid on command, Amon waved his hand. "All Sins have Raid Suits made for them. It takes a lot of time to create raid suits for people who aren't genetically enhanced, you know? I had the extra part and decided to make it for you. Although you can take it off and put it in your bag if you are really uncomfortable using it in battle."
Hearing his words, Yamato stared at the ring for a moment before shaking his head with a sigh. "Oh well, it's okay then. I'll wear it because you've been through so much to make it."
Amon chuckled at hearing it. "That's great, then. Anyway, we have to go first, it's late."
Yamato nodded as the sword on Amon's waist trembled before the gate to the outside world opened behind Amon. The gate was about the size of a human at first before it expanded to the side of the island.
"Everything" Amon pointed to the gate. "Head out."
In his words, the 7 submarines that were beside him sank in the water as they slowly headed towards the outside world. Meanwhile, the owners of seven ships, the Seven Sins, and Yamato, stood beside Amon.

To be honest there were so many sea bases in the grandline alone that it was ridiculous.
However, in a one-piece world where more than 30 million islands exist, even if most are uninhabited, it makes sense that the power that rules the world would have thousands of branches around the world, especially the grandline where he was. was most needed.
But Amon doesn't just destroy one base every day. His army continued to increase, meaning he had no shortage of people. Therefore, he could deploy dozens of groups every day to attack many bases.
Most of them also succeeded. That was why, after 9 months of being involved in the war, the number of Marine bases present on the grandline was almost nonexistent.
As of now, in the final stages of the war, exactly 12 bases were left in the grandline.
One of them is Marineford, under Sengoku. Three were under three admirals. Finally, the others were under the rare GARP present at his headquarters.
For now, Amon left those five for later and instead targeted the other 7 bases.
That was also why Yamato was wearing the combat uniform of one of the Sin of Envy people.
Yamato had been living in Wano for three months after Kaido's death, helping the people remain calm alongside the soldiers deployed by Amon. But after that, though, he couldn't help his adventurous spirit from wanting to see the wider world anymore—now the biggest war in 800 years is going to happen—say it's his duty because Oden has the same dream.
Yamato received his own name outside of Wano, but as long as he was there, he liked the character too much. Kaido's death calms him deeply from that personality, but most of him still believe he is Oden.
So, before he could leave Wano again, Amon made him realize who he was. It's simple, really. He just had to make her understand, Oden was a man and he was. A woman who can experience things that a man can never.
Since then, he has been helping the Enherjar family whenever he wants, or whenever he needs a rare—.
But today is a day like that.
Today the seventh of the Seven Deadly Sins will attack seven Marine Bases. That's where Yamato went as well.
No, not because Yamato became a sin. She gracefully rejected the offer made by Amon, saying she did not want heavy responsibility for the unexpected time.
Instead, he would help someone.
Aisa is finally 15 years old, and Amon feels it's time for her to take responsibility for the power she brings, now that she's used to it. So, he handed Envy Sin's coat to her a week ago. That is, this is his first mission, and also the first time he will lead the fleet .
But Amon is not stupid enough to trust a little girl who lives her entire life in harmony in the clouds. He would fail with just the pressure on his shoulders. So he asked Yamato to guide him on this mission.
"Alright, everybody. Time to sail."
Amon said, standing on the shore of an island where seven Submarines were preparing to leave, with the Seven Sins peeking out from the lid at the top.
"Make sure I don't have to go there to save anyone." He said as he looked at Hancock, Wyper and Raki.
Hancock's battle uniform was pink and looked almost like Empress Kuja's suit except for a few minor changes. One of them was a bright pink robe that floated over his shoulder.
Wyper, on the other hand, wore a shiny black jacket over his dark red shirt with a short red robe hovering over his shoulder.
Raki wore a simple yellow jacket with a green robe on her shoulder and a green tie on her chest. She has a green short skirt that ends above her knees, from which yellow tights cover her legs.
He wanted to wear the same coat Amon wore, but his proposal was rejected. He still wears a tie to show his resemblance.
At Amon's gaze, Hancock looked embarrassed while Wyper and Raki clicked their tongues separately. The latter two have fought Garp and Sengoku the most in the past 9 months, so they are the ones who need to be saved the most as well. From the looks of it, they were obviously not happy with it.
He then looked at Aisa. "At the same time, Aisa. Be sure to listen to big brother Yamato, okay?"
Aisa nodded.
"Moreover -" he looked at everyone. "Be careful."
One of them will need it most.

Inside the office of one of the seven bases targeted by Amon, the 31 surviving Rear Admiral who escaped the destruction of their base, the Three Admiral, and the Fleet Admiral sat around a round table.
"As planned, we have gathered at one base, instead of staying spread out at our own base," said the gray-haired Sengoku. "Rather than fighting them one by one, we better gang up on one of them. Even if Amon came to help, he had to run away as usual, causing his mission to fail, or he had to face us head-on."
Although he said that, he doubted what would happen if Amon chose the second option.
Many Ammonites are famous stories all over the world. Back at Marineford, he can match Kaido, Whitebeard, GARP, and Sengoku all at once. Now he had more fruit.The addition of 32 Vice Admiral and 3 Admiral would cover the position of Kaido and Whitebeard, but that was not enough.
But ... Poor Sin came to this island, at least had a very high chance of being knocked out.
Sengoku knows about Amon's mind-reading ability, so sending a spy into his territory is pretty useless, especially now that Alabasta is hidden from the world. However, due to sheer luck, one of his spies he sent out out out of desperation, somehow managed to infiltrate Alabasta where he saw seven submarines preparing for war.
The Marines only learned of this news a week ago when the spy slipped out of another dimension through the same tactics he used to enter— by hiding inside a ship carrying some Enherjar get out of Alabasta.
Using Gion's help, Sengoku very quickly gathered all the Vice-Admiral at this base who were under Vice-Admiral Hina.
Gion was given the Logia, Cloud-Cloud, which is basically a better version of the Smoke-Smoke fruit of Rear Admiral Smoker. Using his fruit, he brought everyone here through the fast-moving clouds.
Gion is a very special Admiral in the eyes of everyone because of this fruit. He could produce and absorb lightning even though he could not manipulate it, but that alone might be enough to weaken Amon even a little. So he's a very valuable asset.
Moreover, Gion's new assistant, the white-haired Rear Admiral named Killua, also has a very powerful Devil fruit. Gravity-gravity Fruit.
Together with them and counting all the other sea warriors present on this island alone.Even if Amon managed to escape with Sin, Sin's soldiers would be captured and executed on the spot.
The white-haired girl named Fuyu, who was sitting on the Vice Admiral's seat, suddenly shook as her two eyes twitched.
He looked directly at Sengoku. "Master, I feel a change in aura. A large number of individual auras were very close to this island."
His Aura-Aura Fruit could help his observation, that was why no one doubted him and with the orders of the Fleet Admiral, everyone stood up.
Then, except for Hina, everyone covered their presence as much as possible before going to the island beach, hiding behind the trees.
A few minutes later a long black submarine moved out of the water before the lid opened and two girls spun on the platform.
"L-look, I said there's a very strong man on this island!" A brown haired girl who had never been seen by the marines before, said to the white haired girl beside him.
"Silence, calm." The girl, who everyone knew as Yamato, said in a soothing voice. "You've never been around strong people who unleashed the presence of their enemies, that's why you must have mistaken them. Marines these days have always done that to keep out pirates and lesser sea lords by feeling an instinctive fear, you know. There should only be a Vice Admiral here, I can feel it myself. Besides, Amon is never wrong"
He could not finish his words before a single Garp the Fist knuckle struck his jaw, throwing him hundreds of meters up the beach as the brown-haired girl paled.
