One Piece: Reborn as a Skypiean

Chapter 15

….

[A few months later| A month left until Mc turns 9]

Something grand has happened in the Shandia tribe today. Amon, the new-gen descendant of Kalgara had challenged Viper, the current-gen descendant, who's also the current Leader of Shandora warriors. However, this wasn't a normal challenge for a duel, rather, it was a battle for the position of the Leader.

In a world where strength mattered the most, the stronger one would always rule over the weak. The shandia tribe was still a tribe in the end and still had the backward system so similar to beasts, to take a territory, one had to simply defeat the leader. While any member of the tribe could challenge the leader, it was not very common and no one so young as Amon had ever done so.

There were 7 days left before the battle of the throne.

…..

[5 days before the battle]

Amon was training hard in his room, with Raki cheering him on from the side.

To be more specific, he was planking with a small boulder over his back, for two whole days now. This wasn't that serious like last time, nonetheless, it will help his endurance. He hadn't even slept even a bit, and only Raki was there to feed him, while he kept at his plank.

He knew that there was no danger greater than underestimating the opponent so he trained hard.

However, a completely different scenario was taking place at Viper's place. He had heard people say that Amon was strong and while that might be true, his mentality was along the lines of, ' how strong can an 8-year-old be?'.  With this in mind, he went

From what he heard about Amon's strength, he knew the kid was strong. However, he was confident in beating an 8 years old child, without training all day. For that reason, he was just eating all he wanted, not showing any concern for the duel.

…..

[3 Days Before The Battle]

Braham, the son of the sharpshooter of Viper's team, also the 'best' new-gen sharpshooter of the tribe was fixing his damaged pistol, as many things were going inside his head. 

{A/N: He isn't an OC. He is the guy who almost defeated Zoro in Skypiea arc.}

'People call me the best sharpshooter of my generation, however, that's not the complete truth.' He sighed. "I can't call myself the best… Where that guy is still there."

After a moment of silence, he continued to think. 'I've been training with these handguns of mine, from the age of three. On the ways of sharpshooting, my father's fighting style.' He thought. As his grip on the gun tightened. 'Yet, I can't find myself feeling proud of this. Since, me, who's been training on sharpshooting from 3 years of age, has never been able to defeat THAT kid in sharpshooting ever…' Braham's hand shook. 'I knew he had something called 'Mantra' but that doesn't mean that his shot's should be that precise…'

Nonetheless, instead of taking his losses offensively, Braham took them as a challenge and trained hard to surpass him. 'But it's such a pity that he challenged that monster Viper… Yes, he is strong, but Viper is stronger.' Braham reckoned. 'It's like comparing a 40 y/o Viper to an 8 y/o Viper. The winner is quite easy to guess…'

…..

[2 days before the fight]

Wiper was in his room, but it wasn't a hut like Amon's, rather, just a tent bigger than most. The reason being, Amon inheriting the hut from his deceased parents, however, Wiper wasn't that lucky(?).

Currently, he was biting his nail with an anxious face. "It's coming… I can't believe he did that…'' He said. "Fuck! Why did he challenge father? He is my rival! He shouldn't have aimed too high!" Wiper wiped his sweat. "Haa.... Just when I actually started to respect him a little. He had to ask for death… Now, I won't have any reason to grow stronger..."

…..

[1 Day before the fight]

"You have to father!" Isa shouted on top of her lungs. 

The tribe chief sighed hearing her. "Listen, Isa. Even I, the chief, don't have enough authority to stop this duel." He said with all seriousness. "This is a way to choose a new leader, and has been acknowledged from the distant past… We can't deny the orders of our ancestors."

Isa was trying to convince the chief to stop the fight. She believed that Amon will definitely die if he fights Viper. Since to her, Viper was a monster who could do anything… except getting back their land. 'I… I'm even pregnant. What is the point of this if Amon dies?... Will I have to tell my daughter about her dead brother's story then?...' Isa broke into tears. 

"Sigh…" The chief sighed. Even he didn't expect Amon to act this way, so suddenly.

«…*...»

[The day of the fight]

–General Pov–

Amon was fully aware of the mindset of everyone. However, he didn't care about it in any way. He was sure that he would win. 

"Buahahahaha!"

Currently, he had to stop his thoughts, because of the aggressive-beast looking guy in front of him.

"Brat, it's been a hundred years since something like this has happened. The last time someone challenged my great-grandfather for the rank-"

"Shut up!" Amon yelled. "Enough of your ted-talks. Instead of that loose mouth of yours, why don't you use your fist?" Amon interrupted Viper, trying to enrage him.

Veins popped up in his head, as he was too easily angered.

Though he didn't know what ted-talk meant, he felt insulted. As that was enough for him to dash towards Amon. "Haha, fine! Since you are so bored with life, I will give you a fast death! I will break your ribs first!" He said while dashing towards Amon at a terrific speed.

The surrounding people were simply surprised by Viper's speed. After all, since this duel is a tribal ceremony, the participants were forbidden from using any dials, the weapons that originated in the sky. 

Here, they could only depend on their own body's strength. Yet, Viper's speed was so fast, that people almost didn't see him move.

Seeing Viper rush towards him at that speed, even Amon was caught off guard for a second.

But as Viper's fist was about to hit Amon in the chest, he crouched down swiftly, evading the attack. '...Well, he's been fighting for all of his 40 years old life, after all. So, of course, he is this strong!' While crouched down, Amon thought. 'However, this is nothing.' But the surprise wasn't big enough to make Amon regret his decision.

Targeting towards Viper's chest, Amon swung his fist at a terrifying speed, as the punch was about to hit his rib-cage.

Bam!

'Break my ribs? Look who's ribs are break-oh? This was unexpected.' Unlike how Amon believed, Viper wasn't sent flying with broken ribs, instead, he caught his attack mid-air!

"Heh, didn't expect you to be this strong, brat!" Viper said with a mocking smirk as he flung Amon in the air and jabbed a punch towards his face!

Amon could sense the attack coming, and if the attack hit him, he would be leaning towards the losing end. But being mid-air he didn't have any ways to avoid it. Except of course, 

[Geppo]

"!!!"

*Puff!*

Surprising everyone, Amon jumped in the air.

"What?! But he doesn't have any Shooter in his feet!" The audiences' reaction was filled with shock and surprise. As similar to the audience, Viper was also surprised. 

Ignoring them, Amon back-flipped mid-air, landing a bit far from him.

Viper frowned and narrowed his eyes. He might have to get serious now. As he prepared to rush towards Mao again.

However, Amon didn't care about Viper attacking him, rather, he dashed towards him at a speed faster than what Viper had shown before.

*Fwoosh*

Disappearing from the sight of people, the next moment he appeared in front of Viper, with his kick moving towards his face.

*Bam!*

"Hugh!" Viper's nose broke and his face became bloody, as he took a step back while groaning.

Amon smirked seeing this.

Everyone was too surprised to even react, however, the next moment Viper chuckled. "What an incredible speed you have… However, you shouldn't have let your guard down."

Without any prior warning, Viper rushed towards the caught off-guard Amon and kicked his head from the right side. 

*Bam!*

Amon shielded the attack using his hand. However, he felt pain in his bone due to the impact!

Amon released a nervous smile seeing this and then used [Soru]. 

*Fwoosh!* 

He literally vanished from everyone's sight, as even Viper was hardly able to see him. However, even at that speed, Amon didn't have any problem seeing things, because of his [Observation Haki].

Moving at that speed, he attacked Viper in all his weak points, as Viper could do nothing but defend! 

"Gah!" Getting hit on his solar-plexus, Viper vomited blood while holding his stomach. But Amon didn't give him any chance to regain composure, as he then went for an upper-cut!

With another *Bam!* Viper was sent flying. As, Amon stopped attacking for a while, being out of breath.

However, soon, Viper got up while wiping blood from his face. He was injured, but those didn't seem deadly at all. "Listen, Kid," Viper slowly said in his deep voice. "I've been fighting on the battlefield for more than 40 years now. These types of injuries are…" He smirked while looking at Amon. As he stretched his body, completely fine. "They are nothing."

His injuries, especially the places with bruises that had become purple, returned to their original color. 

Amon's eyes grew. But he didn't lose his cool.  '...He doesn't seem to realize, but that's like a subconscious Seimei Kikan…' Amon thought. 'However, you will still go down today.'

"Huff… I'm quite surprised… Uncle… But, today you're done..." Amon said while huffing.

Amon wasn't tired, yet he was taking deep breaths. It was only to fool the enemy and make him make a move. "Brat," Viper yelled. "I will now show you true strength!" The fish took the bait as Vipet rushed towards Amon at full speed.

"HAAAAAA!" Viper was rushing towards Amon while carrying back a punch, and shouting like a beast.

That moment, Amon looked as if he was just standing in his place, too surprised to even move. However, unlike what the normal eyes saw, the reality was different, as from the moment Viper started talking, he's been preparing a kick all along.

Viper's fist came close to Amon's face, and to the general audience, Amon was sure he would lose the battle if he got hit. However, just when people thought it was the end, Amon moved.

[Triple Kick]

Before Viper's punch even got the chance to hand on him, he twisted his waist and kicked towards Viper's chest.

Bam! 

Though to the normal eyes, it was just a kick at a fast speed, in reality, Amon had already kicked Viper three times by then.

*Crack!*

In the next second, Amon's leg completely crushed Viper's rib-cage. As blood came out of his mouth and he was sent flying into the southern part of the village, crashing into trees. However, while Amon's leg landed on his chest, Viper had caught it already. So, not only him, but Amon was also flown there!

Boom!

It was around 700 meters away from the battle spot, but Amon along with Viper was flown there in less than 5 seconds.

All the audience started to run towards that place, and when they arrived they saw something horrific.

….

"Let me through… ugh!" Struggling, Isa came out of the crowd. But her expression froze seeing the spectacle in front of her. "A-Amon…."
