Chapter 84
Title: Battle of the Warlords!
….
Currently, two figures with vastly different stature stood facing each other in the Sea Forest of Fish-Man Island.
The area had many corals growing around it, more than usual due to the light emitted by the Night Sunlight Tree. It is inhabited by all kinds of marine fauna, including schools of fish and whale pods. There were also some shipwrecks there because the sunken ship was dragged by the ocean currents here, so it was nicknamed the "Vessel Graveyard".
The two figures were inside the bubble chamber, so one of them, a human, was safer than being outside of it.
….
Jimbei looked at Amon with wide eyes. He didn't expect another warlord here.
"Yo, nice to meetcha."
Although there were 7 Warlords, there were cases where some of them did not even meet once. Amon and Jimbei are one of them. For that reason, Jimbei did not know much about Amon. But he had a guess …
'If Shyarly is right .. he will try to kill His Majesty. I don't remember him having a grudge against us, so the only conclusion is that the government has sent him.' Jimbei's blood vessel appeared.
"Hello? Lord Warlord?"
'Government dog!'
Despite this, Jimbei rushed forward. He won't kill her, but at least he'll knock her out. He would not let anyone who wanted to kill his king go freely. At least not when the government is behind it.
"You're human!" Jimbei shouted and punched towards Amon. He was very different from his anime counterpart 10 years from now. Even though Fisher Tiger's last words and Otohime's efforts had her leaning to her good side, she still had a hint of hatred for humans.
"Well!"
He stabbed towards Amon.
The attack was quick, as Amon barely dodged and Jimbei's hand missed an inch of it. Amon decided not to use his thunder power, it would not help him determine his limits.
'Why am I even doing this, you ask? First, test yourself and secondly take precautions about the Shyarly prophecy. I'll take him to be my soldier, or just kill him.'
Bam!
Looking at Jimbei's fist, Amon thought. 'Jimbei is currently weak. I guess I don't need to go all out.'
Once again, Jimbei's fist shot towards Amon's chest. Amon had no intention of dodging, he took a step back and swung his fist forward.
The two fists collided with each other!
Bam!
The clash was not strong enough to create a shockwave, but it was. It was because of martial arts, Karate Fishman!
Colliding with Jimbei's fist, Amon's hand twisted slightly as he immediately jumped back. 'Damn, Haki mixed with Karate Fishman too much.'
Ammon is not weak in any sense. Even without fruit, he was overall stronger than Jimbei. But he had forgotten that even someone as weak as Hody Jones was able to destroy Ryugu Palace with just the grasp of his palm. Jimbei was currently much stronger and also more proficient at the Karate Fishman.
Even without fruit, in the ability of the overall strength, Amon would defeat Jimbei, but in sheer strength and defense, Jimbei won.
In the Fishman Karate pose, Jimbei looked at Amon. "Warlord, the Fish-Man has no grudge against you. Can you justify your reason for being here, trying to kill the king?"
'Kill king... Hah, I won't do it.' Amon already knows Jimbei heard it from Shyarly. 'I think it's time to stop my head from constantly saying' I'm going to kill Neptune'. Shyarly might still see that scene.' Shaking his head, Amon returned back to— 'I am the one.hshshshsh...jhjhh'.
"And how do you know I'm here for that? Mr Jimbei, don't you think it's better to clear the misunderstanding? I don't plan to do such a thing, I'm just here to look around." Amon said with a smile.
"lik! Even if that's not the case, you're around Poneglyphs! [Fishman Karate]!"
Jimbei did not give in to his uncertainty. If Amon had not left even now, he would have no choice but to hurt her.
He rushed forward in a fighting position and patted Amon on the chest.
Bam!
Amon did not bother to dodge, he preferred to block with an X forming arm.
Jimbei frowned seeing this. He then continued to hit Amon's hand.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Amon did not use any other defense techniques, only an invisible Armament. He could feel Jimbei's powerful and powerful punch/palm hitting him hard. It helps his Haki.
Amon did not stay that way, every opening he got, he also retaliated with attacks. Bam! Bam!
The fight was just an exchange of blows, no evasion. Two people stood face to face and struck each other with their respective fighting styles.
….
Finally, seeing that normal attacks were ineffective, Jimbei attacked Amon with an incredible level of Fish-Man Karate.
"[Fishman Karate: Water Impact]!"
A water fence formed in Jimbei's palm as he smashed into Amon's face. Amon tried to dodge the attack by taking a step to the side, but eventually, it hit him right on his left shoulder!
Amon himself surprised.. Jimbei shouldn't be strong–No. Jimbei is not strong, but he is weak himself. The last two years, he was too dependent on his wings, after which he got Goro Goro no mi. Even when he did not use both, he was too dependent on Rokushiki.
The technique was good, but in front of mere strength, no one could survive. Kaido is a great example. Gear 4 Luffy can't even scratch it. Not at all .. until he obtained an Advanced Armament.
Amon clenched his teeth. He could finish the fight with one 115 million volts, or by dodging and attacking using his Rokushiki, something he trained from a young age. But. it's not enough. It was not a mere force, it was just quickly applying its power.
'Ugh, fuck me. What did Rayleigh say about the Armament again?' Saying the hell, Amon remembers Rayleigh's words and uses Seimei kikan on his shoulder to relieve the pain and jump backwards.
Doing so, he was right at the end of the bubble barrier, right behind him the sea still remained.
"Hah .. martial arts is definitely something, yes." Amon had a few bruises all over his body, but he was not too tired. While on the other hand, Jimbei was panting.
Looking at Jimbei who was trying to catch his breath, Amon looked at his fists. It was bleeding from all the small battles with the black-black Haki fist mixed with the Karate Fishman.'
Amon put strength in his legs as he leaped forward, towards Jimbei's face! His fists glowed for a moment. 'Watch your fist like an elephant.' Suddenly, his hand was covered in shining black armor.
Amon grinned as he swung his fist backwards. He couldn't believe a single line of Rayleigh helped him get through his barriers. "Rokuogan: Impact Armament!"
His Haki-inspired arms glowed purple before hitting Jimbei who was caught wet right on his face with a ray like purple shockwave leaving his fist, piercing through Jimbei's body in the process.
….
Lightly, Jimbei fell on his back.
Amon stared at him for a few seconds before grinning lightly. "What a crazy defense... Even when I hit your head."
"Huffa..." Jimbei's alive, all right. A normal person would die, their head would break.
He had just risen from the ground before looking at Amon with one of his eyes purple. Amon was hurt, but it was just a scratch.
"Don't underestimate ... Physical Fish Man. That's .. nothing."
"Underestimated? I never did, just a little envious" Amon said. "I didn't plan to kill you, Sea Knight."
Jimbei completely ignored his words, he grinned and jumped forward without any prior notice. "I hate doing it this shameful way, but I have to do it for the King!"
Right behind Amon's back, the bubble barrier stood proudly, holding the sea on the other side of it.
As the sound of the ocean waves filled the area, Jimbei jumped towards Amon as the two of them pierced through the bubble and fell into the sea.
Fish are stronger in the water. While the devil fruit users are useless... Unbeknownst to Jimbei, Amon lets himself get dragged away. Everything was prepared beforehand.
Jimbei did not stop as he swam faster, deeper into the dark sea.
Meanwhile, in the darkness of the world, Amon wore a cold expression that immediately turned into a wide grin.
«...★...»
[A few minutes later]
On the other hand, in the middle of Fishman island, a huge commission was underway.
"Fire! Kyaa!"
The boxes contain hundreds of signatures of citizens on fire! This will cause havoc from the Queen's dream!
"No! Somebody bring water!"
Queen Otohime ran away from the middle of her children. He brought Shirahoshi along as well because she was stubborn.
In front of him, the fire burned the thing he had been craving for so many years! He was having a crisis seeing that scene.
"No... No. gabe... No!"
Everything seemed blurry to him. The screams of his people listened loudly and blurred into his ears.
"SOMEONE STOP THE FIRE!" He screamed over his lungs. Tears fell on his cheeks. "Call the Fish-Man Karate user!"
Seeing everyone running around, Otohime tries to put out the fire with her dress as some guards drag her back. "Your Majesty, you can't!"
"No, no! I have to do something! That's the signature I collected for—..."
Bang out!
Before he could finish his words... A shot rang out from afar as a blood-red trail dripped down from Otohime's chest.
Someone has killed the Queen!
zzzz…
