Chapter 59
…..
Amon remained silent as Yona looked at him with her head tilted. "Is there a problem?"
Amon breathed to hear it. "So all the previous explanations ... was it in vain?" His voice was cold, as cold as a winter night. Yona froze at the spot hearing him. "I talked for 7 hours... Can't you do a useless test at first and talk later?"
"Ah... Ah, that.. I—" Yona turned her face and threw away face with her slightly trembling body.
"Enough. No need for excuses, you want to see thunder? You see the thunder." Ammon said and rose from his seat.
Yona thought he would try to leave now, and this time even the cutting of his throat would not work. However, proving him wrong, Ammon did not take a step forward, but rather his wings moved. They soar and become a little bright.
Yes, Ammon's wings drifted upwards and their ends pointed towards each other, leaving only a small amount of space. Soon after, a bright ball began to form between those small gaps.
"God:" said Amon coldly, as Yona's eyes locked on the ball. "Thunder the wrath of Gods!"
* zap! *
A lightning bolt struck towards Yona's face, while she closed her eyes in fear! Although fortunately, the thunder only hit the marble wall behind him, radiating slightly from his cheeks.
While she had a frozen shocked face, Amon slowly walked towards her and placed her hand on her cheek, rubbing it lightly. "Are you still in doubt?"
Yoona said nothing. It's not that he doesn't want to, it's just that he can't. His legs trembled and Amon's smile only worsened the situation.
«...★...»
In reality, the wings of Amon still use [Clima–Exoskeleton]. They were still around the outer middle bones, however, no one could see them, not even the Observation Haki users. The reason is because.well, technology.
After 'well' asking the AI because she did a very 'good' job this time, Amon was able to pick up a special robe, which he was wearing before, along with some handkerchief size cloth. They are special of course, they have invisibility properties like the Germa Sanji suit. Amon donned the robe earlier, using it along with his newly learned hiding abilities, giving him the ability to roam around places filled with Observation Haki users. While a small handkerchief is tied around its outer skeleton, thus making it invisible.
….
*sister!* *Client!*
Amon was looking at Yona who was using her sword to open the golden chest. Gold is rare in Birka because it is almost non-existent, as the only ones made of gold are the crate and the handle of the sword as well as the cover. In fact, the sword was not very good for fighting purposes as it 'could be broken' into two pieces, while a special key was hidden inside.
Right now, the two of them were in a dungeon that no one knew other than the Arch Priest of every generation. Amon was waiting for Yona to finish, but because of his trembling hands, it took quite a long time.
Sighing, Amon walked forward, deciding to help him.
….
"Wow.. shiny." Amon exclaimed in admiration as he looked into the now-open coffin. In it, kept the glowing pineapple fruit blue! The seed of the Lightning God tree, or better known as. Goro Goro no Mi, Rumble Rumble fruit!
Yona also had shining eyes looking forward as she only saw the fruit a few times as she was the only newly chosen Arch Priestess. Looking at the fruit, he was not sure anymore whether doing this was the right choice or not, after all, his master died from shock after knowing the 'truth', the fact that Lord Birkan gave up his soul, moreover , to an outsider.
They do not even realize that their hypothesis may be wrong, after all, they are too religious for their own good.
Yona asked herself, is it a good choice to do the opposite as she does now?
He doesn't know, but he'll be soon….
….
Yona looked forward inside the crate they had placed on the table, so it was quite difficult for her short stature to look into it. Amon glanced at him and smiled. 'A pleasant atmosphere ...' Inside the dark room lit only by one match and the fruit itself, Amon's teeth shone as he grinned in the darkness.
"Oh, by the way, God has to decide what to do with the fruit... I don't really know about that." Yoona said lightly. "I guess you should eat it. Forgive me if I'm too presumptuous. If it is, I suggest you eat it in front of everyone because it will prove a lot of their doubt."
Yona continued to speak, while Amon slowly pushed his hand against her neck. "Hm?" Yona stared back at him in bewilderment, only to find a pocket watch shining golden in front of him.
"?!?"
Caught off guard, he nearly took a step back even though he was unable to. He is already under his control.
"Your mind will be blank for 120 seconds and you will forget this incident after waking up" Amon said and Yona's eyes lost their light.
"....Yeah." yeah."
Before he could realize it, he stopped moving from his place as Amon walked up to the chest. His control over hypnotism was good, though not good enough to apply to proficient Spell users like Yona. He was lucky his technique was 400% enhanced by the darkness of the room, the distribution of light around him and finally his fearful and unsteady determination from the previous events.
Taking the fruit in his hand, Amon continued to grin like a madman. "Now, it's time for real power to support my title as God."
Laughing crazily, Amon stuffed his hand into the bag by his side.
He could not just eat it and claim to be God, if so, all this nonsense would be in vain. In any case, Enel would not destroy Birka in the canon if Birkan accepted anyone with the power of thunder as their God.
Well, convincing them is easy.
«...★...»
A few minutes later, Amon and Yona were outside standing on the steps of the Temple while everyone currently living in Birka was below. Yona felt a little strange as if she had missed something, even though the dark room did not make her remember anything special.
Among the crowd of Birkan and Shandian along with very few Blue Sea visitors, Amon noticed an interesting figure. Though, for the time being, he just ignored her because there was no need to disturb her here. Thinking like that, he glanced at the confused faces of the people around him.
….
While everyone was staring at Amon confused, Yona decided to take a step forward. "Everyone,"
He said as everyone's gaze fell on him.
Taking a deep breath, Yona pointed towards Amon beside her. "The one you see here .. is someone who was chosen by the Lightning God before." Everyone's eyes grew.
The choosen? Selected as what?
Yona read their faces and opened her mouth. "Yes, he was chosen to replace the power of thunder according to God's previous wishes .." he said. "Look! Skypiean God, Amon will be declared a God today?"
"WHAT?!" It was Enel again, although this time he was not alone. Everyone Birkan shouted with anger and confusion present in their voices.
"Please calm. Let me explain." Yona raised her sword lightly into the air. "Only we Arch Priests know the truth of God. Please let me enlighten you all with the knowledge—AHH!"
Before he could finish his words, a rock hit his head and he started bleeding.
"Basic ******! Just because you are an Arch Priestess doesn't mean you can't disrespect God! Get down here ******!" It was a random Birkan that had more stones in his hands. "******!"
"*Whistle*" Seeing the man, Wyper who was around whistled lightly. 'Shit, what the hell. Was I like that in the past too?'
He noticed the man was about to throw a stone again, though he didn't bother to stop it, because the next moment the man threw another stone.
*what!*
Although this time, the stone was stopped by white wings that shone in the sunlight that pierced through the dark clouds above.
"Well?!" This reintroduced the existence of Ammon to the people, Amon the man with the great wings of nobility.
Looking at them, Amon had a cold face. 'Obviously, they won't let men recklessly take their 'God' place.' Amon chuckled to himself as he wrapped his hand around Yona's shoulder. "It's time to prove that I'm qualified, and they're not."
"How ungrateful is someone to injure their own Arch Priestess? Kill yourself." Ignoring the reaction from his words, Amon looked around and noticed the perfect pawn to show a demonstration of a 'worthy' soul'.
Enel frowned. "What 'You'?! You think you're who–"
"Oh, quiet. Be grateful." Amon said and slipped his hand into his bag, taking out a blue pineapple. "You recognize this? This is the Seed of the Lightning God tree..." Enel's eyes grew bigger. This was one of the few times he had ever seen a fruit with his own two eyes. "To be more specific, it's a Devil Fruit."
Enel's eyes widened, as he immediately thought of a plan.
"YOU HATE!" Enel jumps forward to attack Amon. However, only one of his swings from the wings sent him back to where he had jumped. *Buk* "Cough –Basic bastard! How dare you call the sacred fruit the 'demonic' fruit'?'
"Gt..." Amon laughed lightly hearing it. "Well, now, don't talk like that. Before overreacting, ask our blue sea buddy over there ..." He said, pointing his finger at a man far away from here.
The man was covered in a black robe, his face hiding below. Amon recognized him easily, even from the race where he came from.
"I'm sure he can confirm what a devil's fruit is..." Amon smiled at him. "Master... Err–Let's go with the Black Cloak man. Yes, Mr. Black-cloak Man, you can see that we will start a war at this rate...do you mind helping me to stop it from happening?"
He said as the man remained silent. He was the Fishman Hack, the person from the Revolutionary Army! A few days ago, he came here and even talked to Amon as he disguised himself as a beggar. He is very surprised to learn that he is the God of Skypiea, although he has yet to recognize him as a bounty hunter.
Thinking hard, he decided to intervene. As a member of the Revolutionaries, he wanted to stop unnecessary wars. Reaching a conclusion, he opened his mouth from under the robe. "Indeed. It's the devil's fruit." He said as everyone's eyes widened. "Or it's what we call in the blue sea, maybe it's really a sacred fruit but it's not suitable for the blues."
He gave an answer that would keep the faces of both sides, as Amon nodded. However, Birkan clearly did not believe the words of a man hiding behind a cloak, but fortunately there were 3 more blue sea people around to confirm those words.
Even then, they do not believe all that, though they are forced to see reality while Wyper is ordered to show some of his fire abilities. Seeing which Hack sees it with wide-eyed eyes, Birkan begins to stare at it like a demon who came to harm their God, though they soon realize that the world is not so small.
While Birkan was in an existential crisis, Enel needed a few seconds to figure out. Yes, while the other Birkan, even Yona, was considering whether their lives were a lie or not, Enel was planning in her mind. 'So if what they say is real... I thought the fruit would give me thunder after eating, didn't I?'
He laughed in his mind and prepared to try something. “No! We don't believe it! After all, we had never seen how the seed looked before, even though I only saw the seed a few times, which made me become foggy! Perhaps what the Blue Sea people said was true, but what if you hid the true fruit and presented this 'demon fruit?" He said and looked at Yona with a smirk. "Who's to say that Arch Priestess Yona didn't lose herself to human pleasure and you two worked together?"
"Enel! How can you say such a thing! We have been serving God together for many years now!" yona shouted with teary eyes. The wound was indeed painful, even though the words from Birkan earlier and Enel hit him even stronger.
"Shut up! You're shameless ap–"
"Enough," said Amon lightly, interrupting his Babbage words. "Then according to the words of the blue sea visitor, you should be able to gain some sort of strength after eating this right?"
Some of the blue sea people around nodded, as Amon smiled. "Then here, catch this," said Amon and threw the fruit at Enel whose eyes were enlarged as he barely caught it.
'What ... Yeah, yep! Even heaven is on my side! Who would have thought that kid was so stupid?! Ha ha!' Enel glanced at Yona one last time before opening her mouth to bite. 'Wait, is he really stupid? Or is there a grand scheme behind it?' After thinking for a while Enel could not reach any conclusion. 'Ugh, did I think too much–'
"Hey, will you eat it or not? Maybe I should give it to the big muscular man behind you, hmm."
Hearing Amon, Enel glared before deciding. 'Fuck, I'll see what happens.'
"Munch!" Enel bit her as she nearly spat it out due to its horrible texture but she forced herself to swallow it.
'0.1 Second.'
*explosion!*
The next moment, Enel's body exploded into pieces.
"Oh-oh, look how an unworthy rat died."
Not only Birkan, but even Hack also saw this spectacle with unimaginable wide eyes.
«…★…»
A few minutes ago, inside the temple Amon slipped his hand into his bag. There, he pulled out two pieces. Both are pineapple, devil pineapple fruit to be exact. One of them was a Claw-Claw fruit from earlier that was reincarnated in the vast forest in the upper courtyard. The other is the Tattoo-Tattoo fruit, the ability to make all kinds of tattoos on their body.
They have weak abilities, although Amon does not care. The only thing he cared about was their appearance, pineapple, blue pineapple to be more specific. Amon believed that the Goro-Goro no mi would be the blue pineapple of many fanarts he had seen in his previous life, so he came to Birka to paint it blue. Yeah, he might be wrong, but he's got over 17 plans for that scenario.
Ignoring his thoughts, Amon quickly used a knife to cut small pieces like boxes from pineapples, cutting them from both. After doing that, he swapped out the small pieces from the two fruits, and glued the pieces together with a special glue, thus making them look the same.
Amon laughed a little. "Now if anyone bites this, it's the same as eating two demons." huh."
Laughing lightly and realizing that 79 seconds had passed from 120 seconds, Amon quickly stuffed one of them back into the bag and picked up the actual Goro Goro no mi, and… disgusting bite.
'Goro Goro is the best Logia fruit. Yes it will be defeated by Magma-Magma in the category of damage, Glint-Glint in the category of speed, Tremor-Tremor in the category of Destruction, but it is the best.' Amon tried to wander his mind from the taste. 'This is a jack of all trades, master of none. But as the saying goes 'Jack of all trades, master of none, yet is better than master of one'. Even so, this is not my only fruit, haha–Munch!' Amon finished his mind with a bite. 'Fuck I should have expanded the time limit ...'
Try your best not to vomit, and ignore the disgusting taste as well as the pain in his head from the sudden increase in the Haki Observation, he said, Amon puts another blue fruit in place of Goro Goro no mi and then sips the actual one in a whole.
By then, 118 seconds had passed.
«...★…»
"W-What?"
The people around the explosion were covered in blood, while Amon stared at them from the top of the stairs. Their eyes were filled with horror, this was something that was truly terrifying to them, peaceful people. The human body exploded into nothing but blood? How come?
Before they could react, shocking them again, Amon slowly slid down the stairs and squatted on the bloody floor while picking up the half-eaten red-colored fruit. He could feel the bag beside him move slightly, showing the reincarnation of the normal pineapple fruit he had in his bag.
Amon then looked around. "Hundreds of years ago, the Lightning God left his soul inside his demonic fruit, this fruit. By doing so, the label 'devil' was removed from the fruit, but being only someone who had a part of it. his soul would be able to eat it without dying." Amon said as Yona looked at him from afar with a surprised face. He didn't say much after coming out of the room, so did he process the information he got after coming into contact with another part of God's soul? That's sure!
"However, by the time Lightning God Raijin realized the fact, he had left the mortal world," Amon said and stood with the fruit. "He had to send. Part of his soul, which will one day choose someone and make him worthy to eat the fruit, and here I am." Amon laughed lightly while everyone stared at him in horror.
Ignoring them, Amon saw his blood. "seen? This is what happens when unworthy people try to gain God's power. You can try taking half-eaten fruit from me and try again, I don't mind." Amon chuckled while no one dared to move. "Oh? No one is brave? Okay, okay. In that case, let me show you, what is worthy, and the chosen one is trying to obtain the power that naturally belongs to him. *MUNCH!*"
In the next instant, Amon bit the fruit, a disgusting fruit whose essence had already moved after reincarnating. Amon had the belief that he would not explode because he had tried this type of experiment before. More than 57 times to be exact.
Amon continued to eat the fruit, while the surrounding people retreated while covering their faces in fear.
However, nothing happened.
That's when someone pointed out, "H-Hu?!" Look, the fruit he ate, wrapped in the blood of Enel the High Priest!... D-He's Monster! Satan!"
The fruit was covered in Enel's blood of course, but anything for the greater good.
While they acted foolishly and took a step back, the already dark sky became even darker, immediately... Thunder started up there.
""giants? The devil? Do you not honor your own God now?!"" Ammon's voice trembled throughout Birka while the rain began to fall very quickly. "" Do you all still want to test me? Then let me prove to you the true power of God.""
Ammon began to float in the air with streams of electricity all over his body. The wings don't move, but they are ready to move. In the air, he began to spin rapidly while his wings flapped by themselves.
[Wing Sword Style: Thunder Tornado]
Dozens of tornadoes made of thunder were seen around Birka that day. Yeah, that's the day Birka met her end.
People are not afraid of God. Fear itself is God.
