One Piece: Reborn as a Skypiean

Chapter 183

Title: Lion Hunt (1)

….

"You're gonna leave already?" Shirahoshi asked in a slightly dejected voice. "Why not stay today? There are plenty of rooms in the palace… or you can stay with me." She asked, making me pat her head.

It was midnight already. So I could see why she didn't want me to leave. I shook my head slightly. "Not today, honey. I have work to do, but I promise to come back later on and spend lots more time with you, alright?"

After a short silence, Shirahoshi nodded reluctantly. "Umu. But promise to return soon, don't make me wait 4-months again." She grabbed me by her massive hands and pressed me with her fingers. "Promise?"

It was uncomfortable being in her grasp. She could almost bust my body if not for the fact I am too strong and she can't hurt my logia body without Haki.

Seeing her raise her pinky towards my face, I raised my left hand and streamed electricity in my own pinky, making it large as it wrapped around her finger. And with my current control, I can keep the voltage to a minimum where Shira barely feels the electricity on her skin.

"It's a promise," I added, smiling lightly. "I will come quicker and play with you all day, my tiny Princess." Hearing her giggle, I also laughed as I then pushed her hands away. "Then, I should be leaving soon – but before that, don't forget to keep making new fish friends okay?"

Hearing my words, she smiled sweetly. "Of course." She said, not realising this is how her powers increase the most. "I will do as you say, huge teacher."

In end, chuckling a little, I tried once more to brainwash her – but failing utterly… Not so long after, I decided to leave for now. Honestly, Shirahoshi is a hassle but she is useful. I wouldn't have wasted so much time on a single person if they didn't have value.

Riding the bike through the deep sea, I hummed on my next plan. Two years have passed since I've been looking for Shiki, and finally, there is a lead. Honestly, it's Shiki who gave out the lead since he has started to move from his base, his 20-year-old mission finally coming to a start. Without him making a move from his side, we couldn't have ever found his hiding place, I have to say the man has a great level of stealth ability.

"`He is good at it, huh, Master.`" Kiyu comments, making me chuckle. The sword's old-man voice changed, rather picking up on a child's voice (still male tho) — saying he has been reborn, so acting like an old man would be dumb.

"He is good, mostly because flying islands aren't that easy to keep track of. Even if we got leads before, going to that palace showed nothing, not even a hint that the island was there before." I continued. "Robin almost gave up, luckily Shiki started to frequent the outside world not long ago. He couldn't avoid the eyes of Valkyries all over the world."

"`Meh, all this work to end at nothing. He would die at our hands soon enough, weak bastard.`" the sword says, making me shake my head.

I won't say Shiki is weak, at least not in this worldline. The Movie Shiki may have been weak, but it might just have been plot armour. There are many changes in this worldline than canon, even without me changing it. Shiki might be one of those variables, he might still be that monster who fought Roger on even ground.

Honestly? I don't mind either way. It would be good training if he is a stronger version, but if he weak? Meh, it would be an easier hunt, which should make up for everything. And other than that, he isn't my main focus – my main focus is the SIQ formula and the animals enhanced by it. The other focus is Shiki's fruit – calling that Float-Float fruit would be dumb, I should rather call it Domain-Domain fruit. After all, once the user touches something, that thing is under his full control.

"`Yo, Master, look out, some Seakings are heading this way.`" the sword says, despite knowing I already noticed them.

Turning my bike around, then connecting my brain with the controller of the vehicle, I made small missiles popup from the side of the motorbike as they rushed towards the monsters, painting the blue sea in a hue of red.

– General Pov –

Looking at Amon's eyes squinting the journal on his hand, Robin kept smiling as she felt a strange sense of peace in her heart. She finally succeeded. She finally managed to do it. She has finally founded Shiki's base, studied the trajectory of his flying island and calculated their next position for the next 6 months.

Looking over as a smile formed on Amon's lips, Robin waited. Waited for him to compliment her, to kiss her and drag her to the bed, or even bend her over right here, she didn't mind. She only wanted him to do something, anything to celebrate her achievement.

As he raised his head, looking over to her face and reaching out his hand, she almost instinctively pushed her head forward as Amon placed his hand on top of her head and ruffled her hair. "Good girl, you did a good job."

"I was almost giving up, but you finally went and did it huh, smart girl." He complimented, bringer her closer to his chest and running his hands over her hair softly. There was no lust in his eyes, no arousement in his pants, all he did was compliment her of her work.

Without wanting to, a small smile formed on her face, she raised her head and stole a kiss, enjoying the surprised look on his face. "I finally did it, Luci. But you don't have to thank me, it's my job to do as you say considering who I am." She lied. She enjoyed being complimented for her hard work and hearing a simple thank you pleased her more than being on her back, her legs spread.

Lightly kissing her head, as he pushed her head back to his chest, he hummed a little. "Hmm, it's impossible for me to not thank you. You've been doing this project for more than 2 years, and you finally succeeded in it. It calls for a celebration."

She smiled. She was happy. Her birthday passed exactly 10 days ago, and she worked hard through it. Amon wanted to force her to take that day as a break, but she was too close to reaching the climax. So she held on, despite missing her birthday, and now she was getting rewarded.

Biting her ear lightly, as she gripped his shirt tightly, Amon's ears chirped in her ear, "Robin, let's go to the blue sea. I am all yours this week."

Her eyes grew slightly as she raised her head to protest. He shouldn't be so carefree, he was a busy man after all-

'...'

Seeing his nose poke her own, she paused before her Luci chuckled. "It's alright. What kind of brother would I be if I can't spare a week for my workaholic sister?"

As he chuckled softly, filled the whole room, her own giggle joined soon enough. Such a loving brother she had.

Honestly? This was mildly amusing and low-key funny. She has worked on something so wholeheartedly, spending two fucking years of her life on it. Yet she was happy with a few sweet words?

'Women are weird.' He was right about it and he won't change his mind.

Walking through the corridor, standing outside another door, Amon stopped. 'Not that I hate it, to be honest. The easier she is, the happier I am to reward her. After all, if the rewards are as cheap as just hugging her softly and staring at the night sky, I have no reason to not be happy.'

Chuckling ever so softly, he then raised his hand and knocked on the door, waiting for the door to open.

Hearing the footsteps growing louder as the door clicked from the other side, it opened and revealed a small girl rubbing her eyes.

"Eh? Brother Amon? Why are you here so early in the morning?" The familiar voice of Otama asked as Amon smiled, hiding his smirk.

Otama was only here for one thing – to use her powers on powerful animals. What better place is to exploit that if not on the SIQ enhanced monsters?

A/N: Amon decided to use his precious time to spend on Robin. What a loving man! ?
