Chapter 79

Title: King of Darkness, Rayleigh!

….

 

sha….

 

The wind blew, stroking the hair of the three flying birds. 

 

Amon stared ahead with clear red eyes, while Robin stared at his face with similar clear blue eyes.

 

Raki's hair fluttered in the air as she was above Amon's shoulders. He is freed from Robin and takes Amon's shoulder as his seat. 

 

While Robin looks away from Amon's face, Raki does not mind him and is in his own world. He had never gotten a chance to fly in the sky before, even when Amon mostly used his wings. For the first time, on this medium-speed trip, he enjoys a breeze that gives a cool sensation to his smooth skin.

 

The three of them flew quite high in the sky and Amon enjoyed a different sensation in his body.

 

Smiling brightly similar to the sun shining above his head, Amon then increased his speed slowly as the cries of the girls spread in the air.

 

|—★—|

 

Soon, using the Eternal Log pose he got from the marines, Amon could see the green islands surrounded by bubbles. The giant trees presented an overwhelming presence, but from the sky, they looked like baby plants.

 

Amon slowed down in the air as Raki hugged her head from above with Robin hugging her from the princess's sling. 

 

Enjoying the sensation of his chest, Amon slowly descended and fell to the ground with a small voice.

 

At the sudden change of environment, Raki took out "Accho!" And rubbed his nose.

 

Amon stroked her hair while looking around her. The tall trees and grassy terrain developed an involuntary smile on his face, while Robin did the same.

 

"Huluuu!"

 

Taking a big breath filled with the soft scent of bubbles, Amon exhaled lightly. Not long after, while tucking his hand in his pants pocket, Amon took out the Tone Dial, then pressed the Cricket number, Amon set the dial on the loudspeaker.

 

Kacha!

 

"Oh, Lucifer, have you arrived?"

 

"Yes, I'm here. Tell me your location, we'll go there in a moment."

 

While the girls were shivering at hearing 'Zap', Amon nodded after hearing the Cricket area number was located.

After searching the large island for about an hour. Amon and his group meet Cricket who is on a busy street with shops on both sides. Surprisingly enough, he is not alone. 

 

"Hi friends!"

 

Cricket waved his hand from some distance away as Amon raised his eyebrows looking at the people beside him. 'What's this? Fate toying with him again?'

 

"Yes! Pleased meetcha!"

 

In addition to Cricket, two men who looked like strange ape-man combinations also greeted them.

 

"Lucif, let me introduce them." While people were walking past them, Cricket continued. "They are the monkey brothers, Masira and Shoujou from Saruyama Alliance!".

 

Amon bro clenches Cricket and gives tos to the monkey brothers. 

 

"Yo, I remember seeing you guys on a bounty poster?" While the two of them gasped, Amon stared at Cricket. "Are you sure you weren't tricked?" 

 

Amon tilted his head in his false confusion, while Cricket scratched his head.

 

"Well, you see they liked Noland's story so much that they searched for me for years and started to adore me after finding me in Saobody. So I can't hurt them even if they're pirates." Cricket looked away from Amon's flat eyes. "I hope you don't mind them."

 

Sighing, Amon just shrugged his shoulders. "Well, I mean I don't mind. You are a part of my people if you want to accept subordinates, you are more than welcome. That's not a bad thing, although I'd rather if you didn't take it. Everyone who likes Noland, spies might try the opportunity."

 

Cricket kept scratching his head in embarrassment. "Hey, look on the bright side. I don't have to buy a layered boat from the start. Their ship is good and they lend it so we can cover it. It saves money easily."

 

Amon just smiled at her, "I guess." 

 

He doesn't want to destroy the relationship just to get a little present from the monkey brothers. Besides, strong people are always welcome.

 

While they talk, Amon introduces Raki and Robin in disguise to the two monkey brothers and then Cricket relays the main information here.

 

"His ship was being lined by a man from Shakky's Rip off Bar."

 

A few seconds passed. The world was silent for Ammon. '... Fuck those.'

 

"Eh, Bro what's with that look on your face?"

 

Amon sighed hearing Raki's question. "It's okay." The shady guy? Yeah, that's Rayleigh. Amon prefers to stay away from him even though he is a man who remains passive. 

 

'Well, what's done is done.' Shaking his head under Robin's gaze, Amon stretched his body lightly. 

 

"Mm, anyway, take me there." 

 

"Huh, okay."

 

With Robin suddenly patting his back and Amon looking at him strangely, they start walking with Cricket taking the lead.

 

–

Inside Shakky's rip-off bar, Shakky was smoking with his eyes squinted at the newspaper. 

 

"Lautical Warlord Lucifer is engaged to Princess Alabasta." Letting go of the puff, he read the newspaper headlines. 

 

"Mm, that's weird. A warlord who was about to get married, he was indeed an interesting character." He just tilted his head. "I think people are weird lately. Young generation, yes ..."

 

Sensing the people walking towards the bar with his Haki, he prepared some snacks. He thought it might be Cricket being with his group, and he was right.

 

Crunch!

 

"Come guys, the bar won't break even if the building is in a very bad condition ..."

 

 

…..

 

After greeting Shakky, Amon and his colleagues took a comfortable seat around the room. 

 

Sitting in front, Amon orders juice, with Robin trying to get whiskey, but is eventually rejected by Amon. Raki just looked around the room with excited eyes. Every place Amon took him, it was his first time.

 

"Lucifer-chan, will you be satisfied with just a cup of juice?" 

 

Shakky asked as he finally distributed the juice to Amon, as he received it. 

 

"It's okay. Although I must say, it feels good to know that I am so famous that people far from Whiskey Peak recognize me as well."

 

Amon took a sip of the juice while chuckling, as Shakky did the same with his crescent-shaped eyes. "Well, that's to be expected if you're the most famous Warlord."

 

"Although the Warlord was famous, there were people who had never even seen his face. While you, Lucifer-can, are a celebrity. First the most famous hunter in the world, then became a Warlord at a young age. Not only that, you are actively using your power as well."

 

Shakky finished his sentence while handing out another bowl of ice cubes and a glass of juice to Amon…

 

"While I have to say, your friends are just as interesting as you are," Shakky said as he glanced at Raki and Robin. Although mostly Robin, anyone can tell.

 

While Robin frowned lightly, Shakky threw away his face. "He's yours ...?"

 

"Sister, Wife, Love, Queen, Empress, Goddess, everything. She's everything to me, she's arranged everything for me." 

 

With Raki spilling his drink, Robin freezes for a moment before suddenly looking Amon in the eye.

 

His lips moved up and down. She would usually scold him for not teasing him, but after what happened last night.

 

Shakky just laughed. "How sweet is that."

 

Amon continued with his humor as a few minutes passed quickly. While Robin tried her best not to do anything strange after hearing those words, Amon continued to speak with a smile. 

 

"Oh by the way?"

 

"Yes?"

 

Shakky answered lightly.

 

"Although I enjoy our small talk, can I meet the Sailor of the Ship? I'd like to check his progress. If you don't mind."

 

Shaky just smiled. "There's no need for you to leave, the man came here himself."

 

While Raki was looking towards the door, everyone followed her gaze. Amon had already sensed it, his words were only to continue the conversation. 

 

With the door open, a fit man in a black T-shirt, wearing round glasses, and a scar in his left eye entered the room. Raki could not feel anything from him, he looked ordinary.

 

On the other hand, Amon almost jumped. Haki His observation told him to be careful even though Rayliegh did nothing.

 

'Fuck, so this is Rayleigh, the guy I just saw through the digital screen... The King of Darkness, Rayleigh. The Pirate King's First Couple. He's dangerous, I guess even most people with Haki Observation won't be able to say it..”.

 

"Hello," Rayleigh, to some degree, could feel Amon looking through his 'normal' disguise'. It took him a while to recognize the boy, as a smile expanded on his face. "Who would have thought, I would line the ship of a Warlord, how lucky an old man like me would be."

 

With her saying that, Amon got up from his seat while chuckling.

 

"Huh, I feel blessed that the Pirate King's crew, moreover his right hand, is lining my ship. It's something I never even dreamed of, I'm the lucky one here."

 

While Rayleigh's eyes slightly curved upwards, Amon simply walked towards him and stretched out his hand to shake hands. With Shakky laughing at the spectacle, and his eyes returned to their normal look and his smile widened, Rayleigh received his hand.

 

"I have to say, I'm impressed. Right now, the younger generation doesn't really recognize me, I feel old, haha."

 

For a moment, Rayleigh asked himself. Is this a coincidence?

 

|—★—|

 

Meanwhile, in the vast blue sea, two ships would collide with each other.

 

The Skypiean ship with the golden layer was enough to draw attention from the gazes of the surrounding ferocious beasts.

 

"Mom.I am, I'm afraid." Aisa hugged Isa tightly, she was very frightened. 

 

He said in a trembling voice, "The bad guys are around, I can 'hear' them."

 

He began to sob softly as Wyper looked at the scene with annoyed eyes. 

 

'Guh, how can he calm this crying baby.' Wyper gritted his teeth in annoyance. 

He glanced at the ship several hundred meters away from them. A muscular man was sitting on the boat, looking beside them.

 

….

 

He smokes cigars, wears a loose shirt. Wearing a ring on his ear, the man also had a cut in his eye. Bored gas makes it look even more scary.

 

Looking ahead, the man groaned softly. "Will my reward increase if I kill them all?"

 

He was not interested in gold as much as he was interested in their lives. He wanted to increase his fame.

 

He was one of the highest boydnoty holders in this 'Heaven.

 

"Bright..." She's laughing a little. "The bounty of 130 million doesn't appeal to me anymore, it's been 3 years since I got a new one."

 

Throwing away his cigar, the man stood up and broke his neck lightly.

 

With a bright grin, the man planned his next move on the ship that looked like an angel.

 

However, "H...Huh uh?"

 

Before he could think more, the light blinded his eyes. He could not see, but he could feel the heat.

 

In his shock, only one scream he heard before losing all his sene from the heat.

 

""

 

It was fire, it was fire.
