Chapter 85: Fragile humans…

Chapter 85

Title: Fragile humans...

….

–Jimbei Pov–

I pulled the human deep underwater.

"Ummmm!!"

After travelling a few hundred meters from the island in an instant, I gripped him strongly. He was useless here, so I don't plan to hit him now. I will just leave him here and he will drown. I will not let him die though, not after my promise with Brother Tiger! I will take him back after he loses consciousness.

Thinking such, I threw him forward.

Sha!

He went past the water a few meters away… As he floated there with his head down.

I gazed ahead with a disgusted look. "Fragile humans…"

However…  ""Kek…" The next second my eyes arched up soon after. 'Impossible…'

The human was looking at me with his lips sealed and a slight smile forming on his face. 

A bolt of lightning was out of his nose, dancing like a snake. Then it sounded. ""Fragile? You mean me? You are not wrong, but you are not right either..""

What is this…!!

–General Pov–

Laughing using [Electrical Voice Transmission], Amon slowly took off his purple suit which was wet and heavy.

As Amon's cloth came out Jimbei stared at the scene with wide eyes. Under Amon's clothes was present a head-to-toe rubber suit, a full-body diving suit. Amon was wearing a diving suit that was blocking any water from touching his skin below his face, the face part was cut beforehand.

Even with that skin revealing, the water couldn't affect his powers.

A certain amount of body percentage needs to be 'sinking' or submerged in water for the devil fruit user to lose his powers. Amon didn't have water touching him other than his eyes, nose and mouth. So it wasn't enough to make his logia body not work. Seawater isn't the same as sea stone, among logia users, only Crocodile is weak against even the tiniest seawater while everyone is weak against sea stone.

 

""Fishmen are overpowered, but that doesn't mean you should attack a human just out of an addiction. I could have died,""

Amon's technique let the Vogue flow even underwater as Jimbei looked at it with wide eyes. 'How is he… isn't he a devil fruit user?'

After many tests Amon discovered, as a logia, unless he had more than 15% of his body parts touching the still water, he would be fine. He would still have a logia body effect. This was the case for every logia other than Sand-Sand fruit, even Wyper can do this trick. However, only Goro Goro no My user is brave enough to run around the sea like how Amon is doing. The reason was simple. Goro users don't need to breathe.

Amon wasn't able to open his mouth as water would enter through it, making him sink. 

Fortunately, he was still fast. At least, faster than every fishman in the world, along with Jimbei. 

He heated up the water, hot enough for Jimbei to become uncomfortable but not hot enough for the rubber suit to melt.

All the fish around that place, including sea kings, swam away as Amon went out of control.

….

People might question, why was he doing this? He could have ended the fight in the land anyway. 

Well, it's for one big reason. Amon was dragging the fight for the Queen to get shot.

Amon wanted, along with Jimbei, every other Fishman to feel first embarrassed, later grateful when he would save Queen Otohime's life. 

Jimbei would receive the biggest hit. He would definitely blame himself after Amon successfully saves the queen. Realizing that when was busy trying to fight someone based on an assumption, he failed to protect his queen and the person he was trying to cripple saved her life! It would hit him hard.

Amon would easily get a powerful ‘ally’.

….

As he was about to defeat Jimbei, Amon sensed Hordy Jones preparing things for himself. Amon didn't waste any more time and teleported in front of Jimbei as he started to attack him. 

«...★...»

Amon defeated Jimbei in seconds after giving him some massive shocks. His previous desire for testing his body's limit had faded. First of all, he already saw his limit, he even broke past it. 

Secondly, didn't want to fight a Fishman underwater, besides the reason he was dragging the fight had been completed.

He wanted to go back to Fishman Island now. So he grabbed Jimbei by his collar and dragged him through the sea at a speed just slightly below sound. 

Strangely, even if he could teleport with his clothes on, even many weapons in his hand, he can't teleport with another living being… No one else other than himself can become lightning after all.

Bang! 

At an astonishing speed, Amon went to the middle of Fishman Island, the place where a gunshot just sounded out. At the stage where a fire had just been extinguished, Amon noticed the shot down Otohime. He went there flying and dropped the fried Jimbei on the ground. 

Thud!

After dropping him, Amon vanished from there and 0.9 seconds later, returned in brand new clothes which looked similar to his previous outfit. He also had a bag beside him. 

As he revealed himself, thousands of Fishman all around the stage shouted. 

"Boss Jimbei!"

"A human!"

"He hurt Boss Jimbei!"

Amon expected such a reaction, that's the only reason he did such a thing after all. After this, a psychological effect similar to Jimbei would happen to them as well, it's a win-win situation.

Under the surprise of the three princes and one princess, Amon crouched down beside Otohime. 

"You! Human, get away from–"

He glared at the people who were shouting. ""¡!Silence!¡""

Amon released an explosion of conquerors Haki while imbuing electricity in his voice. If trained correctly, he might reach a level where he can mix electricity with conquerors.

Everyone fell silent, the Fishmen felt their blood freeze. Like how a fish feels their life flash before them when they meet a predator fish, they are feeling the same right now. Even Otohime's body froze. Even on her deathbed,  she was trying to calm her subjects but… what is happening now?

"Cough… Mister–"

Amon averted his gaze towards her as his cold face and enraged eyes stayed the same. "Queen, my previous word was directed towards you as well."

Under her shocked state, Amon quickly used Observation Haki to check where the bullet was. Seeing that it was far from the heart, he released a relieved sigh. He blamed his hands on her chest and started to flow a slight amount of electricity to relieve her pain and numb her senses. 

"Ah… mister…" Otohime felt her pain subsiding but she realised the wound was still there. She understood, the man must not have any ulterior motives, however…

Suddenly, she heard a yell coming from the side. "Everyone!!"

As everyone looked in the direction, Amon grinned internally. It was Hordy Jones, a Royal Guard! More so, he had a human in his hand.

….

Hordy looked ahead towards the dumb Fishmen. This would be his first step to take over the throne!

"Everyone, this is the guy who shot our Queen!" He screamed loudly. "He is a human! The people we are trying to ally with?!"

Every Fishman got out of their shock from the previous outburst and started to yell loudly. They couldn't believe such a thing! So this is the humans' real facade?!

All the time, they hated humans, Fisher Tiger became their hero for opposing them as well! Yet, when the queen defended the same humans, they accepted it! Yet…

"HOW IMPUDENT! HUMANS!"

Everyone screamed with tears falling. Hordy grinned internally. 'Yes!'

His captain, Jimbei's absence allowed him to make things fast. He heard Jimbei went to fight a human… that human beside Otohime!

Looking at Amon doing something and the Queen making a relieved face, he realised the human might be trying to save her. He made a plan.

He pointed at Amon. "That human… he must be the assassin's helper! Stop him, everyone! Kill the human!"

….

Amon looked at Hordey for a second before looking at Otohime.

Meanwhile, the Fishmen were in a haywire. They were screaming while among the crowd, Robin was looking at Amon with worry filled in her eyes, she was also keeping Raki down who was trying to cut the Fishmen. 

The royal guards were running towards Amon, trying to stop himself while the Queen was trying to say something.

Overall, it was a disastrous moment.

That was not the biggest problem though. It didn't help with the monster in a child's form, Weapon of Mass Destruction, Poseidon losing her mind!

Looking at Amon, doing something to Otohime, Shirahodhi was crying. "Mother… WAAAAA!"

With a single cry, everyone fell silent again. But this time, in seconds, Fishman Island got surrounded by giant, intimidating… sea-kings!

….

As if the whole world lost its sound, Shirahoshi kept screaming. The 3 princes tried to stop her cry but failed miserably.

Amon continued to take out medical equipment from the bag on his side. He took out the spray dial and other accessories and was preparing to take out the bullet from Otohime's wound.

He glanced at the back where many sea-kings were lurking, he felt no sense of fear looking at them. They were just giant fish, they can be fried right now if he made the seawater 1500° hot, thus vaporizing the water. 

Then averting his gaze to the crying Shirahoshi, he grinned internally. He has seen her power with his own eyes just now. It was awesome, more so, that power is–would be in his hand soon.

Silently, he released a slight bolt of electricity into her nerves, making her fall unconscious.

"Shirahoshi!" Under the princes' scream, the sea-kings returned without no one left to command them anymore.

….

–Amon Pov–

Ignoring the princes' reaction, I look back at the people behind me. God, they look disgusting. 

They looked pretty… bearable in the 2D anime, but I'm sure nobody would like to meet the Fishmen in real life. I guess I know why humans hate them…

Currently, they were standing in their spot, intimidated by the sea kings. If I hadn't knocked out the girl, the whole island would have been crushed. Not that they are aware of my actions, how sad. I missed an opportunity to become a hero.

"Wait… they are gone."

...It didn't take long for them to gain back their sanity as they again looked at me. The guards continued running, as I was about to bandage the Queen. It helps a lot with surgery after gaining the power to numb senses.

"Human, get away from the queen."

Ugh, they've been screaming for a while now. It's annoying and distracting though. Fuck, even though it's true that if she survives then I will be a hero, it's also true that if she died then I will be blamed. 

Looking back at them, I release a slight sigh and stare at them coldly. I notice Raki having wide eyes while looking at my cold face… Well, I guess I've been an acting lovey-dovey for 14 years in front of her. Not only her, nobody saw my true face yet… I guess Robin did a little. Anyway, I need to take off the mask before the mask takes over me. I think, one more year…?

I didn't say anything looking at the soldiers and just streamed my will-power through. 

I guess knocking down a few thousand people won't be that big of a problem. [Conqueror's Haki]

"¡!!!¡"

With a burst of my haki, everyone dropped on the ground, unconscious… I accidentally knocked Raki, Robin and Cricket's gang as well. Fuck, I need more control over it.

….

"Fuu…"

Currently, everyone was knocked out. Only me and the Queen are conscious in the range of 3 kilometres. 

She seems to be doing better than before. Though she still has fear lingering within her eyes.

I wave my hands at her. "Hello, nice to meet you."

Was it weird to introduce myself like this…?

"Uhg... hello, thank you for… cough, saving my life." She was still coughing and breathing heavily. 

Nodding at her, I took out more bandages and removed her dress. The bullet hit her sternum and glanced off, lucky her the injuries seemed a lot worse than they actually were. I quickly start bandaging the part. It didn't take much time with her cooperation. She is quite quick to grasp on the situation, I guess her Observation is Powerful. 

I can feel she can feel my emotions as well… Fortunately, I have learned to control and trick myself to genuinely feel differently.

Looking at me, she had a smile on her face, I can guess her thoughts as well. She was happy seeing a human saving her life. She can use this as a fact to prove that not all humans are bad, while unbeknownst to her, that will only help me with my reputation. 

Though can I be considered human with wings on my back? No, disregarding my wings, can I even be considered human…? 

...Not that I care.
