One Piece: Reborn as a Skypiean

Chapter 154

Title: Domination (1)

….

O-Tama was in Skypiea. She was at the dining table in the God's Shrine eating her food along with Karna.

She brought the spoon close to her mouth and ate her food silently with shining eyes.

'This place is so good, just like the food!!' She thought. 'Two days ago, Big Sister Raki's appearance caused a festival to start and it's still ongoing.'

Two days ago, even though Wyper barely managed to convince the old people that Raki wasn't a God and it was only a devil fruit – it was still impossible to stop a festival from starting.

'Big Sister raki is so cool… even though she has a temper. Anyway, the festival is the reason all kinds of food are being made and I am eating them. So good!' Tama thought.

She is 4-years-old this year. However, she hasn't seen much, nor eaten much food in her life. Food was always scarce in the Wano ruled by Orochi, where poor people died every day. 

If not for Hitetsu, Tama might have died as well in the wilderness.

While appreciating Amon in her mind, thanking him for the food, Tama asked herself a question. 'He really is a God, isn't he? All the people worshipping him aren't doing it for show…'

Her young mind was too naive to reach another conclusion. The food was enough for her to believe any word Amon threw towards her. That's how he managed to keep her here, acting so calm.

After a while, when Tama was almost done with the food, her eyes landed upon Karna.

Karna was eating too, a frown on his face as he was staring at the air, seemingly in deep thought.

O-Tama called him. "Hey, you—"

"It's Karna." 

Karna said as his eyes regained focus and he looked at her with his black pupils.

Seeing him Interrupt her, Tama frowned. "Yea, Karna. Why don't you go out and play? You are always in this building in that tiny lab of yours, you don't even go when your mom calls. You are being a bad kid, you know. You should listen to your parents."

Karna put his spoon down and stared at her face indifferently. "My mom mostly calls me to sleep beside her and dad, and I don't wanna live with my parents… it's awkward sleeping with them in the same building – more so, the same room…" Karna's face went red as he sighed. "Anyway, grow up, you will understand." 

He then went back to eating.

On the first day, Tama disturbed Karna to tell when Amon would come so much that he wasn't able to focus on his dissecting experiment. 

'Assistant my foot.' That was the reason he fired her. But it seemed she didn't care at all and made friends with the other kids. 'She is too extroverted for me, she is the type I don't like.'

Past two days, when the festival was going on, Tama had already made friends with the other kids but Karna was in the lab Amon made for him and doing experiments. 

'Why did brother bring this little girl here?... Wait, she has a useful power I recall, that's right. Poor girl, she's just a toy.' Karna stared at Tama's face with an indifferent look. 'It's none of my business though.'

Tama's frown deepened hearing him. "You are wrong! Being with your parents isn't awkward! You should be grateful for that, hear me?!"

She thumped on the table and stared Karna in the face.

'What's up with this kid?' Karna sighed. "Why are you acting as you've never slept with your parents…? Wait no, you are just too young to understand."

Tama's face darkened but Karna didn't notice as he continued. "Anyway, did you talk with big brother? You really wanted to go somewhere didn't you, perhaps to your parents?"

O-Tama's face darkened further as she said in a barely audible voice, "I… I don't have parents…"

"..." Karna's eyes grew as he instantly bowed. "I am sorry! I didn't realize that!"

He understood why she was reacting that way before.

Strangely, when it came to the topic of parents, Karna was pretty sensitive. So he felt bad for hurting Tama, even if unintentionally.

"It's fine…" O-Tama sat back on her chair. "You didn't know about it, so I guess it's not your fault."

Karna raised his head. "Thanks."

Tama continued. "Anyways, I talked with Mister--Brother Amon. Yes, he did say to call him that… anyways, he said brother Ace, the person I wanted to meet, faced an emergency and wanted to take care of it as soon as possible. Brother Amon thought I shouldn't be there so he took me away and brought me up here in the sky."

"Oh!" Karna exclaimed in surprise, already guessing these were just some made-up stories. He didn't care about hurting her as long as it was not something related to her parents.

Tama continued, "It seems Brother Amon has already spoken with Brother Ace. So... I guess that's okay. Though I'd like to see Brother Ace once more." She said the last part in a lower tone of voice.

"Then why not ask him to take you there?"

Tama nodded at his question. "I asked once, he said he was busy and I can see why. I don't want to be selfish and force brother Amon to look for brother Ace, they talked already after all. Though he did promise me that he will take me to see him 2 years later, he said there will be a big event circling around brother Ace that time."

"Okay." Karna nodded, uninterested.

He knew she was being manipulated, but he didn't care. 'Anyway, I recently discovered her power lets her control animals. Perhaps I should take her back as an assistant, she can collect good materials for me, hehe.'

Deciding, be offered. "So what do you think about re-joining me?"

"No, you're boring. I'll play with my other friends." She said and proceeded to drink water from a glass cup.

Tama got up and wiped her lips. "Anyway, I will go now. See you later, boring Karna."

Saying this, she ran away.

"..."

'I am boring?' Karna only stared at her back with his mouth wide open.

Raki transformed into a dragon while Amon rode her to Amazon Lily.

Amon took a seat on her head and was directing her using an Eternal Log-pose that he got from the underworld.

"Brother, isn't there a rumor that the Pirate Empress is the most beautiful woman in the world?" Raki asked as Amon nodded. Her voice was still the same even in her Dragon form. 

"She is – and she is strong too."

"Stronger than me?"

"...No." Amon laughed. "But she can beat you, you fall into that category, after all."

"...What are you talking about? I am very very strong now–" before she could finish her line, Amon poked her left eye with a Conqueror's Haki coated finger. 

"Ouch!" Raki, the giant Quetzacoatl, shook aggressively. "Bastard! What are you doing?!"

Amon nodded. "Two things – one, proving you are weak. Two, I am training. I need to learn how to control Conqueror's Haki properly."

«...★...»

In the sea, 10 Marine ships were moving forward together.

In a room of the ship in the middle, an old lady was sitting in her chair smoking as someone knocked on the door of the toom.

Knock Knock!

"May I come in, Ma'am?" 

Hearing the voice, Tsuru, the old lady, nodded. "Please do."

Instantly, a female Marine officer entered the room and stood in front of Tsuru with her hands locked behind her back. 

The female had light blue hair and pink rosy lips along with green eyes. Her face was oval-shaped and she was wearing a coat on her back with stars on the shoulders, indicating she was a Rear Admiral.

"Ma'am, we were able to successfully force the Pirate Empress to undo her devil fruit effect on our sisters." She said with an expressionless professional face.

Tsuru nodded silently. "Hmm, good. That settles it then. Though she was indeed a hard nut to crack."

"Indeed she was. We only managed to force her by threatening the life of her two sisters.

"Well, another underhanded tactic. You should stop it, Sayu." Even hearing her, the Rear Admiral, Sayu, stayed still. Tsuru just sighed. "Anyways, any news about the reinforcements?"

Sayu checked her hand watch and reported, "Yes. I talked with them via a Den Den Mushi just 9 minutes ago, they have almost reached the Amazon Lily it seems."

Seeing Tsuru nod, Sayu then thought with a grim face, 'We captured the whole Amazon Lily of ten thousand citizens but our ships can only hold 5 thousand. So we are taking 5 thousand criminals with us while the remaining 5 thousand are still in Amazon Lily, tied up in shackles.' 

Her thoughts ended as Tsuru's old voice reached her ears, "We did leave some of our people to watch over them, but if they somehow free themselves, those few won't be able to stop 5,000 of them from escaping," Tsuru said. "Nonetheless, since the reinforcements have almost reached the island, nothing bad will happen."

"You're right, Vice-Admiral." She bowed and raised her head. "Then I should leave—"

Crack~

Before Sayu could finish what she was saying, thunder crackled outside the ship.

"Thunder?" Sayu frowned. "The sky was clear a minute ago."

Tsuru sighed as she looked at the sky via the window. "Ahh, grand line, and it's bad weather. Bring's back old memories, haha."

….

While Tsuru was laughing, outside in the dark sky, the figure of a lone man flying closer to the ships could be seen.
