Chapter 67

Title: Shichibukai Amon!

….

"You WHAT?!"

After Amon talks about his days, Robin is shocked to learn that he ate Goro Goro no mi. He jumped up and grabbed his shoulder, his hands trembling slightly.

"really? Y-You're not lying?!"

He doesn't believe. If what he said was true, then he was practically invincible. The Rumble Rumble fruit is famous for being invincible.

"Yes, yeah. I'm not lying, at least not to you." Amon lightly released himself from his grasp by teleporting behind him. 

"Seeing?" Amon touched Robin's shoulder while she gasped.

He turned around, but at that moment Amon disappeared from his place. Amon began to wander around the room, while Robin continued to look at the scene with wide eyes. "...Really."

At this rate, he might achieve his dream. At this rate, perhaps unlike how he prepared himself to die with her, it would not be the end that awaited them. Maybe, just maybe, they will live happily ever after.

While she smiled lightly, Amon returned.

He then tells the story of him conquering Birka while he almost becomes emotional because he did not visit her for 3 weeks.

…..

Time passed quickly, the next day a Marine came along and, much to Robin's alarm, took Amon to Marine Ford. He was, however, relieved to know that he would soon be given the title of War Commander.

After he returns after becoming Warlord, he will learn about his plans for Crocodile. Meanwhile, he was gathering information about the Baroque Work, which he had been doing for months now.  

On the other hand, along with Sengoku and Garp, Amon was taken to the Holy Land of Mariejoa! He met the 5 Elders there with the man above Sengoku, Kong!

«...★…»

"Wow, this place is the definition of luxury." Amon whistled while looking at the giant room he was in. Currently, Kong and the 5 Elders were in front of him while Garp and Sengoku were sitting on both sides on the comfortable sofa.

5 Elders said nothing, while GARP laughed from his left. "Wahaha! Most of the warlords who came here before were not this talkative brat! Even more so with me and Sengoku sitting on the side."

Garp didn't seem to care about the 5 Elders at all. He was there eating his rice crackers.

“Heh...” Amon looked at Kong who was preparing the papers. 'He looks strong... I can confirm he's around Garp's level. Or maybe just my Observation Haki was playing me.'

Other than Kong, 3 of the 5 Elders were sitting while 2 of them were standing. They released a calm yet dangerous aura. They squinted all over Amon's body, giving him an uncomfortable feeling.

Right now, Amon was fusing his wings with his body using the Logia trait, so even if one were to use X-ray vision, they would not notice anything strange underneath.

Turning his gaze away from the grandparents, Amon glanced at Garp. "Hey" whispered Amon in GARP's ear. "Did the elders act this way towards everyone? Or are they just pedos?"

"Pffl... Awaha!" While GARP was laughing, the Elders frowned. Amon seemed too easy for someone in this heavy atmosphere.

Amon also laughed along with the GARP while Sengoku sighed from the side. This was something he expected, after all, a bounty hunter was more savage than most pirates.

'Eh, fuck.' Although Amon had a calm and easy look on the outside, on the inside he was extremely scared. He's just looking for comic help not to mess up. Right now, if everything went smoothly, he would have no way to escape, let alone fight head-on. It was no wonder that he was nervous, and scared to some degree. Still, no one could show that he was nervous.

'Hmm?' Suddenly, Amon sees Kong staring at him, as he distracts him from the GARP.

It was not something big, just the papers he had prepared until now. "Son, take this and take your time to read it."

Ignoring his deep voice, Amon nodded and accepted.

Who knows, the process is so complicated.

….

"Well, have you finished reading everything?"

Sengoku's voice made Amon lift his head off the paper to look forward where Sengoku was now sitting. 

"Oh, I'm around there. I decided to pay more attention to it after you said some restrictions had been removed because I was not a pirate before."

Replying like that, Amon went back to reading. Garp, who was still beside Amon, meanwhile exchanged glances with Sengoku.

5 Elders were mostly silent in addition to a few insignificant words. Amon was more than a little afraid of being among them, although his mind was also ready for it.  

…..

While chewing, GARP glanced at Amon. 'What a long-winded brat. He looks savage like an ordinary bounty hunter, but he's acting too easy, and good around here.' Garp realized the boy was not as old as he looked, which was quite normal in this world.

'If he stays as gentle as this even in the future, he will be put to bad use by a shitty government.' The GARP did not like world governments very much, but he also opposed the organization of his son, the revolutionary army. Even if his son won in the long run, his sacrifice would be too heavy for his alone shoulder.

Sighing deeply, GARP looked at the 5 Elders. 'Hopefully the grandfathers did not try hard to get the bad boy.' 

From Garp's experience, he knew his prey could be a predator if cornered. He felt that the brat beside him, whom he considered prey, could potentially be a predator as well. 

Because from what he knew from 'Haki Observation', and his great experience in his life, the boy was strong. Most Vice-Admiral won't oppose the boy. 'And if he had enough battle experience, he might even defend against the Admiral for a few minutes.' 

The boy was strong, but fortunately he did not seem to have a bad heart. He's a little naughty, but it doesn't matter. After all, Roger was also like a brat in his youth. 

Laughing inwardly, GARP bit his snack.

…..

He is free to do many illegal things such as attacking pirates legally. Even attacking countries that have no ties to the World Government is not a problem. However, Ammon had to pay for some of his loot. 

Moreover, he had to sign a slave contract. He had to sign to serve the World Government completely, and would not get the chance to refuse the will of the Heavenly Dragon. 

Well, it wasn't because one of the Warlords fulfilled the offer, so Amon was fine.

Finishing his reading, Amon nodded and put down the paper. Looking ahead with a smile, Amon moved his lips. "That's good and all, but can I ask for special privileges?"

5 Elders looked at each other and the bald old man decided to answer. "That's possible. We gave such an opportunity to other warlords before."

Amon smiled and took out a pen and paper, starting to write down his request. Garp peeked out from his side as he laughed out loud. 

"Wahaha, son, I kind of like you!"

Amon ignored him and slipped the paper onto the table. Kong picked it up as each Elder peered at the paper. Their eyes grew slightly larger, although Kong only chuckled.

"Well, that proves your ability" Kong said and put down the paper.

Fill the paper like this—

Make Whiskey Peak my territory.

Remove all spies around my area.

6 Marine power guide!

***** ******* *******

The 3rd and 4th requests were the reason for their shock but it was not something excessive, so they complied, even after a long debate among themselves. 

….

Amon had a smile on his face while the Elders looked slightly displeased. GARP laughed, and Sengoku tried to stop him. The scene in the room was strange, and Amon carved a picture of the room in his mind. One day, unless he reached Absoluteness early, this room would be his.

This must have happened because it was impossible for him to be Absolute in this small world. This level of world power ended at the point 'People can go to the future, but no one can go back to the past.' That's what Miss Toki said.

No problem, if this planet can't give her what she wants, she'll just go to another planet. This was the real reason behind the goal of 'World Domination' to begin with. He will need a powerful force to take over another planet, and this planet will be that power. One day, by taking one planet after another, he would definitely achieve what he wanted. 

Although the ultimate goal was 'World Domination', the end goal was one. Absoluteness. Not to be mixed with 'Maha Kuasa' or 'Strongest'. Absoluteness is something bigger than that.

He will be stronger than anyone and everyone. If the current most powerful being was almighty, he would even surpass him. He didn't want to fall into that rabbit hole. For that, he only needed to become a bottomless pit, a ravine that would devour the rabbit hole. World domination is but a sub-section, a particular requirement of the Absoluteness. He wanted to have everything under him because he was once under everything. This is his revenge, revenge not against man, revenge against the world itself ...

'Heh ... Absoluteness, yes.' Amon was fully conscious, it was impossible to achieve that in this world, and perhaps even in this entire solar system, but he also realized, the solar system is not the end of everything. The universe is vast, there are nebulae to help him achieve what he wants. Under the ruling facade of the universe, one day Amon will succeed SURELY. Maybe it would be earlier than he expected, or maybe thousands of years later than that? Who knows, but one thing everyone knows is that nothing is impossible in the fictional world...

'Huh.' Ignoring that thought by shaking his head, Amon remembered something important.

"Oh, too," cried Amon. "I have the Trump Pirates, and 130 more formal pirate individuals in my union. They have been hiding from the marines, I want to declare my Guild as an organization from now on and any pirates below me will be deprived of their bounty, is that possible?" 

"Indeed, it's possible." One of the Elders replied directly as Amon smiled. He would not reveal his main base was Skypiea clearly. For now, Whiskey Peak would be his territory.

"I also have Clockwork Island unofficially, which has no connection whatsoever with the World Government under me. I'd like you to remove the word 'unofficial' and add 'official' next to it.'"

This time people were a little surprised. They thought bounty hunters had no illegal history, their guesses were wrong.

"Hey, is that possible?"

Amon asked again as GARP laughed and an Elder replied in agreement.

After doing the final work, by signing the letters Amon officially became the Commander of the War of the Sea!

It was only a matter of time before the nickname Warlord would turn into something even greater.

«...★…»

On a random island in the Grandline, the red-haired Shanks was resting with his crew.

"Hey, Captain!" A red-haired pirate shouted. "Do you know what's going on around the world?"

"Eh? What now?" Shanks, who was a little drunk asked.

"Seriously you don't know?! New shichibukai appear! Especially a trap! Ahaha! I like that shit!"

Shanks smiled wryly at it, while he picked up the newspaper lying around him. "Oh?! Truly a new warlord, yes."

Shanks laughed as his crew partied.

Thinking for a few seconds, Shanks decided something. 

"BUDDY!" He draws their attention to himself. "A new warlord has been chosen! Marines are stronger than ever, we have to catch up! Haha!"

"For celebration, let's fight with a random Emperor!"

Shanks is talking nonsense, drunk. Even though his subordinates were shouting in excitement. Soon, a fight would occur, not because it did not happen in the canon.

A/N: Although we know what 'Almighty' and 'Strongest' mean, we are not very familiar with the term 'Absoluteness'. 

I still get comments on why Amon's goal was world domination in chapter 5 and had to edit it to outline things more broadly. It was mostly my fault before, but this was all that was on his mind when he thought about those things.
