Chapter 4: A Messed Up Tribe

Chapter 4

….

–Amon(MC) Pov–

"...A-as this child's only blood left, you should be the one to grant him the divine opportunity of being sacrificed for the tribe's wellbeing! Viper, y-you need to do it with your own hands!" The old bastard Chief said while grabbing Viper by the shoulder. 

Uh… is this another end? Am I gonna be sacrificed for people I don't even know of? Then… Should I give up and just di-NO! I won't die this time! Not again! But… what can I do?... I'm just a baby.

The man holding me, Viper, looked at the old bastard as if looking at a coward piece of trash… Ah, maybe he won't kill me. He is my uncle after al-Ugh?! Dammit, did he just nod his head?!

Nodding his head, Viper then raised me up while holding me by the armpits, he then stared at me with eyes filled with pity for a while...

Dammit! Is this real? I'm going to die just after being reborn?! This guy's gonna kill me, but what's with his pity filled eyes? Ha… I swear, if I survive this, I'll gouge your eyes out!

My thoughts were interrupted by Viper's deep voice. "You unfortunate child. Even though you have nothing to do with my brother's foolish efforts, you need to be judged for his sins… As your uncle, I don't want to kill you, however, as the Leader of Shadia Warriors, I need to decide for the whole tribe!" He sounded as if he's going to do an honorable job...

And, I was right! "Kalgara", "Shadia" and these winged people! This is really the One piece world, isn't it?

FUCK. The realization is useless if I die right here! I need to get out of this! Yes, somehow I need to get out. But I have no power, I'm fucking 1 month old for fucks sake! I don't want to die so early! Somebody, help me!

My face paled and morphed into a frightened expression, I involuntarily started to sweat profusely. Since the only thing I can do to save myself is to scream out loud and CRY, I will do just that!

"WAAAAWAAAAA!" I really hope someone comes to save me!

That damned guy named Viper frowned hearing my loud and annoying cry. 

"Don't worry, I will finish you without any pain. Or at least, I'll try to." He said as he brought one of his hands close to my neck, while the other was still holding me by the armpit. 

Then he started to strangle me strongly.

"WAUGH! Eughg"!

Dammit… I can't… breath… This is painful... I have died once already, I know how painful it is… 

My consciousness started to fade, and I started to lose my sense of hearing too...

… Is this the… definitive end?

The world started to go dark… The familiar feeling of cold enshrouded my existence… I was close to death. Again.

"Stop it Viper!" 

…But luckily, it seems today isn't my end.

….

–General Pov–

"Stop it Viper!"

A feminine voice entered the room from across the door. Hearing this Viper moved his hands from Amon's neck, allowing him to finally take a breath.

"Hahh….hahh….hahh..."

After taking some deep breaths, Amon's vision was restored. He was then able to see his savior, it was the woman named Isa. 

'Isa… luckily these two came just before my breastfeeding period, or else I don't know what might have happened… and now that I'm sure this is the One Piece world, I also know who Isa is...' Thinking this, Amon started to cry again, trying to get Isa's attention. 

"Waahaaa!"

He didn't feel safe in Viper's arms.

Hearing him, Isa looked at Viper with an angry frown. "Viper, you bastard! What do you think you are doing?! Don't you feel shame trying to kill your own nephew? Do you think the tribe will survive after you kill a descendant of Klagara with your own hands?! We will receive God's Judgment!" Saying this in an angry voice, Isa snatched Amon from Viper's grasp.

Just as Isa took Amon in her arms, he stopped wasting his precious crocodile-tears and hugged her tightly. Although it was just an act from Amon's side, Isa felt her heart melt from the hug from such an innocent child. Remembering her days with Amon's mother, she felt more attached.

Is a lightly kissed Amon's head. While thinking, 'How can someone even think of killing such an angelic child?!'

She then glared at Viper again. Glancing at Amon's tiny face for a moment, Isa had only one thought, The ones in front of her were nothing but heartless monsters!

Stroking Amon's head, she hugged him tightly…

On the other hand, veins popped up on Viper's head. He always hated these overly lovely-dovely women. Women were created to give birth and serve men. They were born as weak, always to be below men! 

Or at least that's what Vyper believes.

"Woman… who gave you the permission to shout at me?!" Saying this, Viper swiftly launched his hand towards her neck. While Isa didn't have any time to react, he grabbed her neck with one of his hands and strongly clenched it, lifting her up in the air in the process… 

Isa struggled, but Viper's strong grasp was too much for her.

"Ahhngh!" Isa groaned in pain, unable to get out of his grasp. But since she was holding Amon with her hands, she couldn't even fight back. 

Amon just kept observing the situation while hugging her strongly to not fall on the floor. He didn't have anything that he can do here, so instead of bringing attention to himself by crying out loud, he decided to stay silent. He will definitely die if he gets grabbed in the neck again.

However, at that point, even foam was coming out of Isa's mouth...

Seeing this, veins popped up in the Chief's head too. As he shouted, "Viper, what do you think you are doing?! Stop this right now, that's my granddaughter you are trying to kill!" The Chief's angry shout was enough to stop Viper. He removed his hands but still threw Isa on the floor with Amon.

Thud!

Isa fell on her butt. As she held her neck to relieve her pain.

Viper gritted his teeth in annoyance. He really would have killed Isa today. He needed someone to vent anger on since he was very angry after the recent battle with the God's Militia. But unfortunately, Isa is the chief's granddaughter, so he couldn't finish her.

The chief was angry, but instead of punishing him for hurting his granddaughter, he just sighed. "Viper… what you were about to do would have done great loss to our tribe. Isa is not only my granddaughter, but she's also one of the important people of our tribe. The healthy food and medical help mostly come from her. If she died today, you would have done great damage to ourselves." The Village chief said with a calm voice, but Amon could see through his suppressed glare towards Viper.

Although he wasn't nearly as powerful in strength compared to Vyper, he was the chief after all. So he can stop Viper from doing stuff sometimes… According to ancient history, even the Leader of the Shandia Warriors has to obey the Chieftain. However, the chief wasn't so brave to try and punish Viper. He gulped silently and thought, 'Although many things are stated in ancient history, I'm not sure if this crazy Viper won't go out of his mind and kill me if I try to punish him… I need to be low-key.' Chief thought with his cowardly nature.

After thinking about what he was about to do, Viper stayed silent for a while. He was about to kill Amon, but there were many excuses to justify his execution, most importantly, him being the traitor's son. But in Isa's case, not only did he not have any excuse to use, rather he was on the loose end.

He gave Isa a side glance and narrowed his eyes. "...Fine, I'll let her go this time. But you must warn her to not mess with me ever again…" Saying this in his deep voice, Viper started to walk away.

While walking, Viper suddenly stopped. "By the way, I wouldn't have killed the child in the first place.… After all, although his late father made a great mistake, as the woman said, I can't bear the punishment of killing a descendant of Kalgara…" He then smirked. "I was just testing his durability… and most importantly he is my nephew after all."

Amon's blood started to boil hearing this. 'This bastard… just you wait, wait 8 years. I'll kill you, I'll break all your bones and murder you right in front of everyone.'

Viper then looked at the Amon who was resting on Isa's arms. "Besides, my son was also born a few days ago. When he will become the leader, he will need a trusted right-hand man, this child will do the job." He said as if he was sure that his son would become the Leader, and then finally walked away.

Hearing his words, the chief shook his head. "...Sigh, Isa. You better take care of the child. Since his only relative let him live, I won't say anything. I don't have a saying on this anyway." 

Isa silently nodded as the tribe chief also walked away.

"…"

Silent fell upon the room. As Isa kept gazing at the door while Amon started to plan how he should kill the chief.

"Sigh… you poor child. Even though you lost your parents, you still have to live in this messed up tribe. May God bless you." She shook her head for the last time and caressed Amon's head.

Amon just stayed silent. Looking at her, he was sure the tribe wasn't that messed up, however, she may be the only one.

'May God bless me? Is that supposed to be a joke?' If God existed, Amon already hated him. However, the God that the Shandia people believe in was nothing but an over-sized snake in reality.

Rather, he had other plans in his head, 'Unfortunately, I won't be able to rest after this day. I will have to get busy in my mind. Now that I have information on my current world, and even my current location, I must decide for the future from now. There are many dangers in the world of One Piece, to counter them I have to prepare myself in every way.'

It was time to rise, for one last time.

A/N: The current chief isn't the one from the anime. He is an OC and if calculated by cannon means, he should be the Chief before the Current one in anime.
