Chapter 62: Reo?

Chapter 62

Title: Reo?

….

 

The next day, Amon got up like usual and completed his daily routine. Today, he decided to hold himself back from flying and went to the training ground beside the Golden City. 

 

Just because he has a devil fruit now doesn't mean he should forget about his body. Because it seems, his ability to surpass the use of 105 million volts partially depends on his body's strength too. This explains why Enel couldn't use more than 200 million volts. Though Mastery also matters obviously, since Amon is definitely physically stronger than the Enel that he killed, and even the one that the anime showed.

 

Without thinking much, Amon went to the training ground, [Flashing] from his Shrine.

 

As he left, Yona also woke up, she looked around the room with a surprised face before looking at her bunny girl outfit with a reddened face.

 

«...★...»

 

*Zzzz*

 

Amon flashed into the training hall, which was empty with only two people in it, since it was very early in the morning. Raki was one of them. She was lifting weight, as after noticing Amon she quickly looked away. 

 

Last night, she heard some weird sound from his room, though she didn't know what the sound was since the wall was soundproof. It was already incredible how she heard this, well unless she…

 

Amon ignored her, ignoring him, and walked close to her. While she acted as if she couldn't sense it, Amon went behind her ears, lightly whispering, "You shouldn't have eavesdropped...."

 

While Raki's body shivered, Amon cackled from behind. Before the situation could turn any more awkward for Raki, Amon gave her a small lighting [Zap] to make her regain her composure.

 

"Azz!"

 

While Raki flinched, Amon released a fake cough.

 

"Ahem… so, Raki, show me your two swords style now." 

 

Amon said while Raki stopped and took some breath. Her squinting eyes became as sharp as blades. "Alright… don't get hurt."

 

Raki dropped down the Dumb-bell which made a loud sound as she performed some stretching.

 

Amon suggested her to workout by lifting heavyweight. Even in this world, the female body is still weaker than men. Well, in most of the cases they are. 

 

After his word, for a long time she's been training her body like this instead of just slashing all day, and she was definitely seeing the improvements. They say women can never be good swordsmen in the world of One Piece. But it wasn't impossible obviously. From Amon's knowledge, he doesn't remember seeing a female swordsman lifting weight, at least the ones who heavily relied on swords like Raki. They always believed sword techniques are everything, a statement made by idiots. 

 

A swordsman's hands should also be a sword.

 

"I will no–try not to disappoint you." Raki said with her eyes sharp.

 

Amon taught Raki things, while she took them to the heart. Gan Fall's teaching of morals did make her loosen a little on the way she looked at men, though the person she had in her head was still the same in the end.

 

….

 

"Alright, prepare."

 

Raki took a stance with her legs having good space between them, and her hands spread around holding the swords. She had her target at, Amon, and was preparing to go all out, after all, now he won't get hurt no matter how much she wanted to hurt him. 

 

"Twin Sword Style: Spinning Dragon!"

 

Raki spun rapidly, as she became blurry to the other person present in the hall. Like a Beyblade, Raki started to come towards Amon while he just stood there silently.

 

The swords were about to touch Amon, while he kept looking at it in slow motion. 

 

By circulating electricity through his brain, he entered a slow world. Though unlike one would expect, this feat was surprisingly easy to achieve with his medical knowledge, and most importantly, with his brain having Logia property. Amon didn't have to be scared of bursting any vein in his brain. 

 

According to Amon, this is something even Kizaru couldn't do, unless his fruit gives his brain a boost as well. 

 

Removing these thoughts, Amon looked at the swords silently, as they… cut his body in half. *Zzz…*

 

Although his upper torso was cut, he was Logia, after all, so he was completely safe. This wasn't the case for Raki though, as she was getting shocked by her sword being used as a conductive material. 

 

"A–AHH!"

 

Raki was thrown off stage while the two swords flew in different directions and hit the ground with a *Clang! *Cling! Sound.

 

Raki kept lying down for a while Amon took a thinking pose. 'Hmm, her technique is pretty rough. She just spins with her swords in her hand… Hmm, I remember Ohm is good with swords, better than Gan Fall.' Amon thought. 'I will ask him I guess.' 

 

Amon thought as he shifted his gaze at the guy far from them, he was also training until he noticed Raki flying towards him. Seeing her like that, he ran forward to help and was currently helping her sit down. He was the same guy, Reo. Amon recognized him since he's a Commander, while Raki released some coughs.

 

"Cough–Hey!" Raki called out as Amon looked at her. "Why didn't you stop your electricity? I almost died."

 

Amon started to walk forward. "I can't stop someone from getting shocked after touching my Elemental Body. Well, not yet at least. Also, you wouldn't have died..." 

 

Raki just looked helplessly with her hands shaking a little, while Amon walked and crouched down in front of her. A smile bloomed on his face, he touched her nose and absorbed the small quantity of electricity in her.

 

"That was a powerful technique though." 

 

"Really?! You liked it?!" Raki instantly got back her energy and jumped up. "Do you want me to do it again?!" 

 

Amon laughed and stroked her hair. "You will get shocked again. Go fight Wyper, and I will also arrange a new teacher for you."

 

Amon said as Raki showed a little displeasure from hearing the word 'teacher'. Though she soon nodded rapidly from the small [Zap].

 

Soon after, Raki left to get Wyper and Ohm, while Reo looked up at Amon from the ground.

 

"Awesome like always, huh."

 

Amon looked at him and smiled soon after. "What do you mean always? I've been here for only 3 weeks haha." Amon said. "Nice to see you working hard so early, Reo."

 

Reo's eyes arched up slightly hearing his name from his mouth. He didn't expect him to remember his name, after all, this is the first time they have been talking like this other than the introduction of Commanders 3 weeks ago.

 

…

 

'Damn, he remembers me?' Reo thought with his internal state becoming happy. 'Feels good that a strong person like him remembers me.'

 

Reo laughed lightly internally. He was very surprised yesterday, seeing the Birkans accepting him as God. He himself wasn't sure how much of his words were true until that strange feeling deep in his soul...

 

He was… maybe forced or something along the line, he couldn't tell at all. It was an oppressive feeling at first, which soon felt something he should accept. Reo was confused, yet with his shallow knowledge he couldn't reach a conclusion, so he believed what his mind flashed him. The word God.  

 

It was a little hard to believe the man in front of him is supposed to become God along the line in the future, yet that is the fact that is being pointed by everything. 

 

"Fuuuh…" Sighing, and deciding to train instead of thinking useless things, Reo got up. 

 

"Then excuse me, Lord God." He said with a slight bow. "I will train some more."

 

Amon nodded in response as he walked away. Amon also did the same and both of them started to train on different sides of the hall. 

 

They started to train on different things, Amon doing squats with a 10-ton weight on his back, while Reo started to train with both sword and spear. Amon noticed this and snickered to himself.

In this world, it wasn't impossible to achieve a pretty average level at both swordsmanship and spearmanship if one trains diligently. So he might succeed, however, that's just a possibility for the naturally born talented ones. Amon could see that the guy had a hand for neither sword nor spear.

 

He wanted to do some motivational speech since he had nothing to do anyway though it was then when Raki returned with Wyper, Ohm, and the unexpected high-priestess Tsumi.

 

With them waiting, Amon completed 50 Squats and decided to take a break.

 

….

….

 

Amon was sitting on his butt while sweating a little. He inspected Tsumi from head to toe and smiled at her.

[Image Here]

"Hello, Kami-sama." Tsumi greeted him, while Amon just nodded. Raki gave her a glare which she overlooked. 

 

Ignoring them for a second, he looked at Ohm. "You must be Priest Ohm, it's our first time talking like this I think. Nice to meet you."

 

Ohm nodded slightly hearing Amon. "Yes, you are right. Though I don't really bother such human mannerism filled with ulterior movies beneath the pure facade."

 

Ohm said while Amon just laughed. "Haha, you are funny Ohm. Though, I think we should be a little serious here…"

 

Ohm gulped internally from the instinctive fear, though Amon still had a smile. "Anyway, ignore that. Tell me, Raki already explained things to you right?"

 

Amon asked while Wyper and Raki were quarreling in the background. 

 

"Yes… that's right. She asked me that you, Kami-sama, called me here. Upon asking why she said it was to be her teacher." Ohm replied., As Amon then glanced at Tsumi.

 

"Then, High-priestess Tsumi? I don't think I called you–"

 

"Let me explain."

 

Tsumi interrupted Amon, through her eyes arched up the next moment in realization. Though Amon just smiled at this. "Continue."

 

Gulping her gulp, Tsumi then opened her mouth. "Well… it's nothing much. I just overheard that Kami-sama's sister is looking for a sword teacher, so I decided to tag along."

 

Amon smiled amusedly hearing her. It seems she has already gathered a bit of information. Nobody would just call Raki 'Kami-sama's sister' after all. It's just her trying to get a special spot. 'Did my joke last time get over her head? She has a pretty slutty level of greedy personality, hmm.' Amon thought. 'Well, You may hate the personality of a beautiful woman, but you should never hate her body.'

 

While Amon thought this, Tsumi opened her mouth. "I was just saying… I'm actually the best swordsman of Birka. I can train her if you'd like to… Of course, I'm just suggesting." 

 

Tsumi said with a smile, while Amon also smiled. "Oh? Yes, good. She will learn from the best, that's what I want." Amon said. "Oh, I also want to learn some Sword techniques. Maybe… I would receive some personal training because of my position?"

 

Amon said jokingly, while Tsumi also giggled. "My, Tsumi would be happy to teach you… alone."

 

While they talked like this, Ohm ignored it and excused Amon to train himself with these rare equipment. Raki and Wyper fought, and Reo trained. Amon kept talking with Tsumi.

 

«...★...»

 

[Minutes Later]

 

In the corner of the massive training hall, Reo was wielding a sword. 

 

He was slashing his sword while moving his legs in the style he uses when wielding a spear.

 

While slashing, he felt the presence of someone behind him as he looked back abruptly. 

 

"Oh, hello."

 

It was Amon who was waving his hands. Reo blinked in surprise. 'Huh? When did he arrive here?'

 

"Don't mind me,"

 

Reading his face, Amon again waved his hands…

 

"I'm just taking a break. I will leave if you want." He said while sitting on a bench and sipping juice with a smile plastered on his face. 

 

Reo looked at this for a few seconds, before replying. "No problem. I'm fine with it."

 

Saying this had turned around and started to keep slashing the sword while moving according to a rhythm. He's been training the spear for a long time, and it's safe to say he's pretty easy with it. While the sword is relatively new to him, though he thinks he is getting good at it.

 

'Just 50 more slash…'

 

While his mind was wandering, his body was not. He was training hard, and the presence behind him might be a big reason behind that. 

 

….

 

Minutes passed, and he was on the ground gasping profusely. His stamina is very low. Seeing which he questioned himself... this way, how long will he last?

 

 "Hey, Reo." He was brought out of his thoughts with a call. Hearing which, he looked that way. It was Amon, who was offering him… a Can of Soda?

 

Seconds passed, and with a bit of hesitation, he accepted it and opened it. "Thank you very much, but when did you buy it?"

 

Amon chuckled hearing him. "5 seconds ago."

 

Reo was again surprised. 'Uh-huh. Speed.' As time is passing, he was doubting less and less that Amon might actually become a real God someday...

 

He opened the can while thinking, and started to drink. "Gah! Not bad…"

 

While drinking, he felt the gaze of Amon on his back, as he looked back with a questioning face.

 

"Hey, Reo. Wanna have a spear battle?" Amon said with a golden staff in his hand. "I'm relatively new at it… but I hope to get some pointers."

 

"Bfff!" Reo almost spat everything I just drank.

 

"Is this a joke?!"

 

«...★...»

 

Amon was having his time, while a certain guest visited Whiskey Peak, at the Mayor's office.

 

"Welcome, Mister Crocodile."

 

Robin greeted the man, Warlord of the sea, Sir Crocodile who looked at her with a cigar in his mouth.

A/N: The Skypieans still don't see Amon as a Godly figure. Though humans change, and they will too.
