One Piece: Reborn and Skypiean

I was not lucky

Chapter 50

Title: I was not lucky.

….

[Month Then| 4 months until return]

A few months passed by, as Robin began to lose herself bit by bit. Every day, he would stay awake at night while having internal conflicts if he had to leave or not. In the end, he left this to 'tomorrow', which had never come until now.

Mostly because as time went on and he went hunting more like that time in Alabasta, he became more and more attached to her. Although something like a wing incident never happened again, he still continued to be protected by it. At this rate, maybe…. Perhaps, he might actually start pretending to be like everyone else...

Lately, Amon frequents East Blue, for reasons he was unaware of. Until now, his position in the guild was quite high and Amon proposed to him to be his personal assistant and bodyguard, which he initially did not want to accept, but he eventually accepted. The reason for that was because he was about to leave soon, there was no harm in being his assistant for a few days. 

«…*…»

[Evening time]

At this time, Robin was walking with Amon on Whiskey Peak, towards a Bar. 

"You invited me to this place? I never knew you were drinking" Amon said as he wrapped his hands around his head while looking at the bar in front. "Is this a new hobby?"

Robin just giggled at hearing it. "Fu fu, who knows. You should pay more attention to me if you want to find out." 

Amon smiled gently when he heard this. He glanced at her eyes for a moment, before turning his gaze away. 'Heh, will you see the dark circles around his eyes?' 

Soon, Amon and Robin enter the bar, while some greet the two. 

…..

Upon entering the bar, the two see Cricket roaming around with some bounty hunters. 

Cricket noticed their arrival and turned around.

“Oh, Miss All Sunday, are you not alone today? Ah, it's Lucifer!” He said to Robin, as he and Amon sat in a chair in front of the bartender. 

"Hello, Mr. Cricket," Robin said as Cricket greeted him.

“Hahaha, surprise to see you in this place, Luci.” He said to Amon and looked back at Robin. "He never drinks, says things about good health and everything else, even when the chicks call him. It's impressive how you brought him here."

While Robin giggled, Amon looked at him with a motionless expression. 

"Oh, is there something Luci–"

"No, it's nothing. Looks like you're a frequent customer here.I'm just surprised." Sighing, Amon looked ahead as Robin fell silent. 

"Hey, sir give me a cold drink," Amon said towards the bartender while nodding.

Robin also decided to order while raising his finger. "Oh, and whiskey for me—"

"No, cold drink for him too." Amon cut him off, while he tried to argue. Amon did not heed his words.

When they started talking about their work and belongings, a few hours passed easily.

…..

The bar is open 24/7, so some people are still drunk for their own good even in the middle of the night. Amon and Robin were in the corner of the room, alone at one table. Robin is talking nonsense.

"Hic–so, like that, the organization I was working on was also destroyed. I was able to escape at the last moment" Robin said as she let go of her hiccups. He looked drunk, while Amon smiled at him with his chin resting on his left hand while his right hand was under the table.

Seeing that he was done with his words, Amon decided to open his mouth, he had been silent for too long. "That's cool,"

Although at first, Amon did not let her get drunk, when the time came, he let her do what she wanted. 

Sipping from his glass of juice, Amon smiled at him. "So, you're pretty lucky, yeah. Good for me, I guess."

Robin was a little surprised to hear it, as she looked at him with sleepy eyes. "Geez? Whatchu mean? All my previous work. That's not lucky for you."

Robin said as she touched her cheek while her own cheek flushed red due to the effects of alcohol. Amon could feel the heat coming from his face even from the other side.

Ignoring her hands on her cheeks, Amon chuckled. "I mean here you are, alive and kicking ... Anyway ignore it, I'm just—"

*BOM!*

Suddenly, the two were shocked to hear the voice and looked back. 

"REALLY!" It was a muscular man. "Fuck this world ..." Saying this, he slid on the table.

Amon yawned seeing this and looked forward again. Drunkards are quite common these days– 'Wait. That's the guy…. Ahh, Melo!?.' Suddenly Amon remembered something. 'I heard a girl he met in the Sabaody Archipelago and also got married last month was sold as a slave to WG... Hmm, ''h,' 

Amon looked at the dizzy little Robin as he reached a scheme. 'I can use this information to my advantage, thank you.'

Amon then put his pocket watch into his pocket and stood up. Robin looked at him confused.

…..

–Robin Pov–

"I'm sleepy." It's a little dizzy and hard to think.but since I'm with him, it'll be fine.

Thinking of this, we went towards the man as we sat down.

…..

–Pov General–

"Haha... People don't know how fucked up the world is." The man said as he leaned his back on the chatter like a lifeless man. Her skin was slightly tanned, and her hair was a deep red color. His stern face looked hollow today.

"Hey, Melo. It's been a long time." Sound from the front. He barely looked at her and smiled recognizing her.

 “Halo indeed. Been a long time. Leader. Hah, he recognized Amon even in a drunken state. His leader helped him a lot during his months in the Grand Line. He even saved his life a few times not to recognize her.

Sitting across from him, Amon sighed. “I heard what happened to your partner. I'm sorry for that.”.

“Hahaha... no need, Leader. If there is anyone in this world that I still respect in this world, it is you.” The man, Melo said with a smile. “Again, you saved me, the life of a beginner many times before. In fact, it was you who gave me the Sabaody Archipelago quest. The place... where I met him.”

Amon kept quiet to hear it. 'Oh, yeah?..okay.'

 "By the way, why don't you share your story?" ask Amon. “Maybe you will feel better..”.

The man chuckled and decided to do the last thing he could.

…..

A few months ago, he went to an island near the Sabaody Archipelago after receiving a quest given by Amon. He accepts it and goes to another bubble island to complete the mission. It was just a shipping job, shipping some illegal weapons more specifically. What he gives, however, the client doesn't want to let go so they decide to let go of the loose end, the delivery man, Melo.

Or at least they tried, because most of them were killed by Melo. However, he was too injured to fight the living, so he escaped with no other choice. It was difficult, but he did, because he was a middle ranked bounty hunter. However, his injuries were severe, which rendered him unconscious by the shore, in the sea filled with sea lords.

Lucky the beautiful mermaid saved him. Soon time passed, and they knew each other. Soon they get married, and she even decides to leave the bounty hunt after getting most of her then living happily with him. Everything is fine until he is captured by a slave trader, and when he wasn't around, it was sold to. The Heavenly Dragon!

…..

“Maybe... if I am not greedy and stay with him then he will stay here Melo wiped her tears and drank vodka.

"We even have plans to have children! *buy!* I'm a complete loser..." He barely put the glass on the table and put his face on the table.

Amon looked at him with 'sadness'. Although his mind was different from his outer facade. 'Loser? Right yeah. You are just unlucky to face this situation. I'll just run away if the Sky gets the attention of the Sky Dragon at least until I get the devil's fruit.' Amon thought as he guessed the next words.

"Leader ..." As expected, the man opened his mouth. "I'll leave the guild... I'll be a pirate!" 

"What?!" Amon frowned in 'displeasure'. "Mel, are you crazy?! Do you realize, if you become a pirate, one day you might have to face your comrades, the people you once worked with!!" As Amon said this, the man simply laughed.

"I know. But, I have to do it. A man must do what he must do." Waking up from his seat, the man drank vodka from a bottle with a smile. "*Sugar***Sugar**Teguk*"

"Thank you, leader, I feel much better talking to you." The man said while sticking his body. "Anyways, I'm leaving now... Careful." He said and started walking away.

"Oh, by the way," Amon called out to him from behind. "If you need anyone's help after becoming a pirate, call me, I'll try to help you..." He grinned brightly. "Not as a leader, but as an equal."

The man also grinned and left, while Amon grinned inwardly. 'He has the will, and he's not that weak either... Maybe he'll get a good present. If he does, I'll hunt him myself. Poor guy'

"Hey," Suddenly, Robin called out to him as she looked at him. He had a small frown on his face, as his previously drunken self was nowhere to be seen anymore. "Can you tell me ... more about the world government? Or specifically, the Heavenly Dragon?"

Amon smiled at it. "As far as you are, Miss. But not here ..."

….

While Amon and Robin walk towards his office, Amon pulls out a watch to check the time.

"Oh, looks good. I didn't notice before.. Where did you get it?" Robin said as he leaned forward, though he quickly took a step back, puzzled.

"A girl gave me a gift... You want it?" Amon said as they walked forward.

"No."

"really? You have to be honest with how you feel."

….

After capturing Jango, she did not directly experiment on him. He first took a lesson on hypnotism from her and learned that mushrooms only increased his affinity, nor did they make him a master from the start.

After learning the technique, he began experimenting on his body, although the results were still unknown. 'Luckily the island has a good kind of equipment ...'

A/N: Robin drinks to relieve her stress, and has not been so successful. His condition will soon change. 

We'll move on from Robin after the next chapter, and put him in one place.
