One Piece: Reborn as a Skypiean

Chapter 149

Title: Seraph (2)

….

['This… I see.']

After testing the blood sample, Seraph realized the blood didn't belong to Toki. In a dejected mood, she shifted her cameras back to Amon.

[So this is Lady Toki's daughter's blood. This is enough proof. But why did you bring her daughter's blood? Wouldn't it have been better to bring Lady Toki's blood, the real deal?] She asked, fearing the worst.

Amon nodded. "It's simple, Toki is dead – or so the people in Wano say. I can't bring the blood of a person whose body is nowhere to be found, now can I?"

[I… I understand.]

Hearing her soft reply, Amon could feel the shaking emotions within her. She must be feeling shocked and sad hearing about the last Shandorian's death.

But Amon had no reason to show sympathy for a robot and got to the point immediately. "Anyways, does this mean I have access to everything now?"

[Wait, let me ask you a question first, have the borders of Wano been opened yet?]

"No," Amon replied.

Seraph deemed that he didn't have any reason to lie and beeped.

"Then, am I eligible to use everything you have on you now?" He smiled as Raki stared at him.

[You are eligible, master.]

After a moment of Amon smiling, his face became expressionless. "Okay, answer some questions first."

Raki noticed the change and grabbed the hilt of her sword."My first question is… why didn't you want to open up to me until now?" He looked at her with cold eyes. "You called me master, yet you were more loyal to Joyboy? Why is that?"

[That–]

"Just a warning, I don't want to hear any excuses."

[...] Seraph suddenly got flashbacks of their fight from years ago, giving her a strange feeling; nostalgia.

Seraph considered whether or not she should tell him the true reason for her actions. ['No… He is my master now, even if it's a trial, I need to give him the answer he wishes for.']

A trial. In truth Seraph was testing Amon, to see if he really had what it takes to replace the weight of Joyboy's presence that her previous master left.

Her previous master said 'Wait for Joyboy and decide for yourself.'

Although not specific, Seraph knows when Joyboy will come. From the prophecy, Joyboy would come when Toki arrives in Wano, no matter how much time passes. So now that she has gotten solid proof of Toki's arrival – even her death, this means Joyboy has also been born, or maybe he is already an old man.

Seraph made a decision. ['Master… I have decided for myself. I will give this child a chance, if he doesn't meet my expectations, I will choose Joyboy next. I don't like him, but I am giving him the glory because I know he has what it takes, also the fact that he has the blood of Shandorians flowing within him.']

After finally deciding, the A.I beeped.

[I was waiting for Joyboy because my Queen, my previous master ordered me to. These are her words – 'Wait for Joyboy and decide for yourself.' I was confused about it, my response to her order was 'Why should I?' throughout those 800 years, but I had a firm reason to do as she said.]

"A firm reason you say?" Amon tilted his head while her mechanic voice chimed in his ears.

[Yes, a firm reason. It was because of the Fishmen princess 800 years ago. Other than being the Poseidon of that Era, she also had the power to prophecize things. One day, before the war began, she prophesied that the gates of Wano would open 800 years later, she even specified the year – 28 years after Toki's marriage.]

"Interesting…" Amon was very curious. So the previous Fishman princess had both Shyarly's and Shirahoshi's power. 'Fascinating.'

[People didn't believe her prophecies. Wano's borders weren't even closed to begin with, why would they need to open? – this was the reason. But as the war began and she started doing more prophecies, soon people realized the true weight of her words.]

"What happened after that?" Raki asked this time. Both her and Amon were attentively listening to her.

[Centuries ago, when the Shandorans and Fishmen shared a very close relationship, their princess came here and talked about the prophecy of Lady Toki's son. Lady Toki was supposed to give birth to a son who will change the world along with Joyboy. However, by the time of the prophecy, Joyboy was dead. So people were confused – however, as she went into more detail, everything made sense, so everyone did as she asked them to. They sent Lady Toki to the future.]

"What did she say?" Amon asked out of curiosity. 'The son she was talking about must be Momonosuke…'

[...Unfortunately, my memories were wiped. But I managed to recover some of them, unfortunately, the rest of the data has been lost.] Seraph said in a low voice, Amon nodded in her response.

['...'] She expected an angry shout from Amon, but unexpectedly… nothing happened.

Rather, a calm voice flowed within her ears. "I figured as much, I would have done the same if I was in the shoes of those people 800 years ago. Though I do assume you have the important information, right?"

Sighing internally, Seraph beeped. [Correct.]

"Anyways, explain what happened next," Amon said in a calm manner. Truthfully, he was angry. 'So all this time she fooled me?' But he realized nothing good ever comes from crying over spilled milk.

[Later, she also talked with my queen before she told me that line. Although I don't know the reason behind her words, by calculating the contexts for 800 years, it seems there is a very strong being my queen wanted me to destroy, though I am not aware of the reasons. Since I am weak, I needed to team up with Joyboy, the strongest being after that being.]

Who was that being? It was pretty obvious to Amon. 'It's Imu, isn't it?'

'Who is Joyboy then? She did say Joyboy died, but this is a fantasy world. Considering that, who else can it be other than Monkey D. Luffy, the protagonist? It seems one day we might need to team up, I am not confident enough to beat Imu on my own yet. He lived for 800 years, he is surely a monster.' It seemed like Amon needed to do some big manipulation starting from now on. 'The real game just begins.'

[After that –]

"That's enough." Amon stopped her from saying anything more, knowing that Raki was beside him. "We can discuss this later. I have another order for you."

[...What is it?]

"Hand it over." Amon stared at her soul intensely. "The Mythical Zoan, Snake-Snake fruit, Model:–"
