–Pov General–
[Turn time 1.5 years| age Mc 5.5]
On the east side of the village of Shandia, Amon came out of a tent that was slightly larger than his usual tent.
Soon, a short and fat man also came out of the tent, right behind Amon. He had a basket that looked quite heavy that was covered with curtains in his hands as well.
"Hey, Amon. Err... Help me and give this to Isa... Okay?" The fat one, asked Bob.
Amon responded with a fake playful smile. "Oh? Whatisthis? Is this what adults call love? You even gave your own food to Isa, now?"
Bob blushed to hear it and scratched his head. “Hehe... wait no! You are still a child, you shouldn't ask such a thing! And, no, I didn't give him all my food. I traded some stuff for it, so I thought... Why not share it with, Isa?"
Ammon took the basket from his hand, and said, "Alright, I'll give it to him. Might as well... I can even say some kind words to her about you. Hmm...? Should i?"
Bob's eyes grew for a moment as he quickly replied, "H-huh? Did ya? Then I'll give you my special shooter-wait, no! Not that I want you to do something for-"
Amon interrupted him, as he said, "Hey, hey, calm down. A little help will not be bad. You know, everything is fair in love and war!" Amon showed off his biceps as he said this. Then he prepares to leave. "Anyways, I'll go now. See you soon."
Saying this, he began to walk towards the western part of the village, where his house and Isa's house were located.
….
After a few minutes of walking, Amon arrived at his house. He quietly went inside, avoiding people using his [Haki Observation]. After that, he sat on his bed.
Using Haki Observation at full capacity, Amon made sure that no one was around here. Then, he slowly removed the curtains from the basket, as his eyes shone. "Damn.. look at this. It's fresh carrots and apples... What did he exchange to get this?..."
In terms of food, the Shandians knew only seafood, because although there were some trees inside their 'dome', fruits rarely grew on those trees. The only way to get the fruit is a robber who takes it from a pirate ship or the top yard.
Since the village had no currency, they lived by exchanging goods for other goods. Like the ancient times in the world of Amon before.
Amon chuckled like a child looking at the fruits in front of him. "Truly a simple master .. he must have traded some good calls ... That's a big waste. I've been eyeing some of his special calls ... But," Amon took an apple from the lunch box. "Not too bad, after all, something good happened to me for his stupid actions. These fruits.full of nutrition.this is mine now."
Amon then began to eat the fruit. Once the fruits in the basket begin to diminish.
As he continued to do so until only 2/10 of the original pieces were left.
Waiting for a few minutes, Amon got up from his seat, and walked out of the hut with the basket covered in curtains, towards Isa's tent right beside his house.
After turning right after leaving his hut, Amon faced a tent, slightly larger than Bob's. Ammon after confirming the presence of Isa with [Haki Observation] went inside.
Seeing a small figure entering his tent, Isa who was sitting on the bed, looked towards him. Looking at Amon, he smiled kindly, as he said. "Why are you here? Can I help you?"
Amon just went towards her and also sat on the bed. He placed the basket on the bed while staring at Isa. "It feels pretty, right? Always receive gifts from other tribes." Amon said with a false seductive tone in it.
"Geez? Are you jealous? Unfortunately, you are not a woman! Or I'm sure with your face, a lot of boys will come after you." He then looked at the basket beside him. "By the way, who is this time? And what's in it?"
"That's Bob. He was kind enough to give you a lot of this fruit." said Amon as he pointed to the basket.
Isa nodded in surprise. 'Fruits? That rarely happens.' He thought when he took the basket, it was not too heavy but from the weight, he knew there were some left. He removed the cover from the basket and became shocked again. "Mmm. that's quite a lot."
Amon glanced over from the side as if he had refrained from eating it. Isa noticed this and smiled lightly, 'He is training too much for a child, no matter how he looks. Hehe.' Unfortunately for Isa, this is all just acting. Amon has adapted to acting like a child, so doing this little act of tricking adults is nothing new to him.
Isa hid the basket behind him, while looking at Amon. "What do you see? That's mine."
Amon pretended to be unhappy as he frowned, getting out of bed ready to leave. "What's? I never wanted that anyway. I'm going to go now! BYE!"
Acting ill-tempered, Amon prepared to leave. But suddenly, Isa caught him from behind and lifted him into his arms. "Haha! See ye. I'm kidding. I won't be able to sleep at night if you go like this..." Isa wiped his imaginary tears saying this.
Amon smilingly received the fruit, then jumped up and kissed Isa's cheek. Immediately, he dashed out of the tent towards his hut.
Isa sighed with a happy smile as he watched her leave. 'He's such an innocent child.'
Unfortunately for him, this is all for his nutrition.

[Several hours later|Night Time]
Amon was sitting in his room on his bed in a lotus position, similar to the cultivators of the wuxia novels.
Sitting like that Amon breathed rhythmically. His body was comfortable, he did not even move an inch. If anyone saw him now, they would assume he was asleep.
He immediately opened his eyes, proving that he was not sleeping. His red eyes seemed to sparkle for a moment, as he suddenly frowned.
He gave his strength and let it surge throughout his body. Amon held his breath as his muscles stiffened slowly. Immediately, he grew to almost 2x his actual body size.
Amon then tried to circulate his strength to his back, the part of his body that could not be moved, his wings!
[Seimei Kikan](Return Life)
He tries to use Seimei Kikan, a technique that can supposedly make a person control the functions of their entire body with their wishes.
"Well!"
However, the next moment he spat out saliva and fell to the surface of the cloud floor first, creating the sound of *thud*.
Now, unlike his calm demeanor a few seconds ago, he was sweating profusely while panting.
"Huff ... shit, why didn't it work!"
Amon tries to perform the [Seimei Kikan] technique which allows the user to control all the functions of their body. Amon knew if he could learn this technique, he should be able to move his wings.
She is not sure if she will succeed in this, as not much is explained about Seimei Kikan in the anime/manga. And for someone like Amon whose complete knowledge comes from the show, he doesn't have enough points to work on.
Also, due to the fact that this technique does not have many users, the only users shown are Rob Lucci and Kumadori, Amon's chances of mastering this technique will be even lower.
But those thoughts don't take him anywhere. He thought after getting the nutrients from fresh fruits, he might succeed. However, it seems that all those nutrients are wasted.
Amon felt desperate for a while, but he immediately got out of it.
After regaining his composure, Amon sat down and sighed. 'Seimei Kikan's... If I succeed, I can definitely move my wings, but it's very difficult. When I was 7 months old, after filling my stomach, I tried to practice Seimei Kikan and digest food.'
Amon let his mind wander as he rested for a moment. 'Only now, after 5 years, do I have enough courage to try this nonsense again. But no matter how hard I tried, nothing seemed to work…. I remember it had something to do with being a hermit. I'm sure someone like him isn't a hermit!... But, if I fail to do this, it does not mean there is no other way.' Amon thought while recalling Chopper's words when he first saw Seimei Kikan in action.
Amon then continued his thoughts, 'According to Chopper, there is a technique named [Bio Feedback], which is very similar to Seimei Kikan, but if I don't progress even a little after a few months, I won't waste my time on this anymore.'
Amon sighed and closed his eyes.
A few minutes passed like that, as Amon let out a long sigh and got up from his lying position.
He stood up while stretching. When he said, "Well, it's time to go to bed. I'm tired."
After gurgling his mouth with water, Amon walked to his bed. He also inspected the surrounding area with [Haki Observation] sleeping. You are never too careful.
