Title: Huh?

Rulers of the whole world, World Governments.

4 A power that acts like the Emperor of this world, Yonko!

7 Pillars that help the World Government, Shichibukai!

Looking ahead, Cobra is going through the definition of what a Shichibukai, a Sea Warlord, is. In this world, one Warlord definitely had more power than one king from a random or even powerful kingdom.

Amon's offer was tempting. Cobra doesn't have to worry about Vivi's future and her safety at all if she marries a Warlord.

Cobra has a visible wrinkle on his face contemplating this. 'But the thing is, it's very sudden for such an offer. Besides, it's interesting why a Warlord would act like this, after all no Warlord would marry.'

With twisted emotions, Cobra tries to think of a profitable 'deal. This is where Amon got it, until now he was on the 'win' side, or that's what Amon showed him. The winning steak got into his head and now he's trying to win again, though this time, he's trying to use his daughter ... 

Although she soon realized, she should not have made a deal with her daughter.

'No, not Vivi. She is my baby, I cannot use her in political fights.' Cobra shook his head thinking about it.

"Old man, let me clarify something," Amon attracted his interest. "This is not a political offer. This is a personal offer, our previous offer will remain valid even if this offer is rejected." 

As if reading his thoughts, Amon answered in secret. He had his reasons for this action, he was not aroused enough to chase after an 8-year-old. 'If I really feel aroused, I prefer to chase Boa Hancock, she is easy to come by and strong. This is a completely different matter.'

Amon has plans for Alabasta, Vivi will be his influence here. Internally sneering at himself, Amon searched for words that would make even Cobra agree with him.

"I just feel attracted to the little girl—Hei, don't look at me like that!" Seeing Cobra looking at him with strange eyes, Amon shouted. "I'm not that old, a 14-year-old can leave after turning 8, at least in Alabasta where there's no legal age limit."

Amon said while Cobra frowned. It is true, Alabasta does not have the legal age for approval. Basically, it is not illegal for a 40-year-old man to marry a 12-year-old. But since something like morals still exists, it doesn't happen often.

To Cobra, these kinds of things seem morally wrong even though he himself could change this fact at any time. He did not do so because this was an ancient rule.

"Wait..." Suddenly, Cobra repeated his words, '14 years old'. "What do you mean?... You look at least 16, at most 17." 

cobra said while Amon shrugged. "What's? I'm tall, look Yonkos, they're huge."

Cobra was unable to find the words to fend off his claim. The problem is, not even considering that she will not accept, the fact of letting her 8-year-old daughter marry a hormonal teenager seems strange. He will just reject–

"Before you refuse, I will not marry her. I mean it's wrong, let's just say he's 8!" Cutting off his thoughts halfway through, Amon acted as if he fully agreed with her. "Even if it was someone other than me, I would beat him to death myself!"

While Cobra flickered hearing his words, Amon punched the air. "Then…?" He looks empty. 'Phenocrisy?' Cobra asked himself, dumbfounded.

"Ahems. You see, I don't mean to get married now," said Amon and sitting on the sofa, he slightly loosened his tie. "I mean, get us engaged." 

Amon smiled lightly. "By the way, I won't use my identity as the Skypiean King for that. I'll use my Warlord identity." Amon took an apple from the table. "Imagine how much help your kingdom will get just from that."

Cobra frowned while sweat dripped from his forehead. This, this was truly the best thing he could hope for. Although she would never force her baby to marry anyone and wanted to leave it to herself to choose a husband, this offer was both for herself and the kingdom.

'This is something that is very difficult to resist... Not only was it likely to offend Lucifer, but the fact that my kingdom, moreover my baby would gain the protection of the Warlord was enough to agree to it.' In addition, there was also Skypiea and Alabasta would then have a blood covenant, so they would never betray each other.

It was a win-win situation for Cobra himself, however….

"Fuuuh, I'm sorry." Reading his breath, Cobra bowed lightly. "Your offer is tempting, but I won't choose Vivi, it's up to her. You can take back the previous offer if you want, but .. I won't give Vivi for political gain."

While Cobra lowered his head, Amon remained silent. He was quite angry inside though. 'Fuck, why? Just accept that shitty offer. This is so good! Ughhhh... Why are the people in this world so honest?' Not long after, he sighed. 'It's not important. I have another card on my sleeve. I have ... the power to be able to lie.'

"Thank your head," said Amon lightly as he sighed. "As I have already said, the previous offer will remain in effect. They won't change despite the validity of the new offer."

While Cobra suddenly raised his head with******* of relief, Amon smiled.

"But let's not end the discussion. Let me offer you something better..." Smirking lightly, Amon issued a call. "This is the [Videoplayer Dial], look at the clip inside."

After a moment of silence, Cobra sighed and raised the dial. He won't change his mind at all, not after he turned down such a generous offer–!!!

"A-No way!"

In the clip, different people use their powers. Kizaru moves using his light ability to fly home, Aokiji uses his ice to freeze the sea and finally, Whitebeard uses his vibration power to cause a tsunami at sea.

As a Warlord, it's easy to get a Marine clip, but Whitebeard's clip is pure luck. He flew towards Raijin island when he sensed a fight between several pirates. At first, he wanted to collect their rewards, but looking at the people fighting, he decided otherwise.

In the end, he got some good destructive clips, clips that would scare normal people, no matter if a normal person was king.

Cobra had heard of these powers before, but this was the first time he had seen them in action. He wondered, what is this device? But that question soon changed. The question is, why did he show it to her?

"You're just wondering why I showed it to you, right?" Amon smile. "Let me explain, it's a monster world."

…..

A few minutes later, Cobra's body trembled while sweat poured down his face. 'Something like this is possible?...'

"seen? You're lucky to be in heaven, but that luck can run out at any time. What if a Yonko decides to take over here?" Amon asked her as she stopped breathing. "What are you gonna do?"

'What can I-"

"Then what will happen to Vivi-chan?"

Suddenly hearing his last sentence, Cobra frowned. "And what do you propose?..." He asked directly. "Can he be safe just by being with you?"

Amon grinning. "Yes, he'll do it. I guarantee it."

"...And why do I trust you?"

"Haha, you're a difficult person to solve." Amon laughed lightly before stopping. "I'm strong, but it's not enough to guarantee Vivi's 100% security. Instead, I have something better. I can offer you his individual strength."

continued Amon. "I didn't show you the power of that monster just to scare you, but it was mainly to show you the power of the devil fruit." Raising his finger, Amon continued. "What I plan to give her is the fruit of the devil."

Cobra frowned. "No, I don't want my baby to lose his ability to swim to get the devil's fruit—"

"Listen to me, yeah." Amon. "It's not 'Random'. It's Logia." It's Logia."

After a moment of silence in shock, Cobra's eyes curved upwards. 'Logi ...' 

For a man in his position, Logia translates to Invincibility. 

"Yes... Logia?" When Cobra gulped, Amon grinned.

"Who is fit for your Kingdom. Logia: Sand-sand fruit!"

"Your daughter will be the true Goddess of the Sandy Islands. Even those monsters wouldn't be able to hurt him at all."

«...★...»

Meanwhile, 10,000 meters under the sea, on Fish-Man Island, the Fish-Man Queen, Otohime was preparing to set off for the blue sea, Marijois to be more precise!

A long time ago, the fated Heavenly Dragon came to Fish-Man Island. He is later rescued by Otohime from his former slave who tried to kill him. Still ungrateful for the action, the Heavenly Dragon was about to leave with the destruction of the Fish-Man island in his mind. 

However, at the last moment, Otohime decided to accompany her as well on the grounds that she was still injured.

"Yeah! Mama! Don't leave Shirahoshi alone!"

As usual, the mermaid was crying. But this time, she cried while hugging her mother, while King Neptune smiled kindly at her.

"Return, Shira. Your mother will make a great trip!" He said while laughing. "A few days later, you can see the forest you always wanted to see!"

Otohime smiled hearing that. "Indeed, he'll do it."

A sweet moment was born at that time. The Heavenly Dragon looked at the scene with its veins appearing, yet had a strange emotion left in its eyes. His kind had treated this group as monsters and slaves until now... Low-level creatures, they say.

Groaning, the man then threw away his face. 'I think he can come ...'

Right now, he had no idea that long, he would use his strength to help them. The revolution will happen, the Fish-Man island will rise to the surface?

Meanwhile, in Alabasta, Cobra had a blank expression.

"Hello?"
