One Piece: Reborn as a Skypiean

Chapter 207: Ah, shit (2)

——

"Dammit..." Honey Queen cursed as she typed something in her SmartDial rapidly.

She tried contacting Amon, but he didn't pick her call. So instead, she was writing him a long message about what happened. 

"Done!" She tapped send, then waited in anticipation as a check mark had been put beside her message indicating that it had successfully been sent, causing her to heave a sigh. "I did my job, it's not my fault if he doesn't see it."

Honey Queen shrugged and put the Dial in her pocket. "Now, where did they go…" Honey Queen concentrated her Observation Haki to search the whole island while a frown found its place on her face.. She opened her eyes and sighed. "Ah, shit."

Honey Queen quickly jumped in the air using Geppo and kicked the air fast, diving towards the east of the island where the presence of Straw Hats was clashing with a few other men.

"Damn that rubber bastard."

Minutes Ago

"—Cough!" A dark-skinned bulky man coughed out his saliva as he fell on his back.

"Haha! As expected of Luffy! Go, go, Luffy go!" A man with a long nose, Ussop cheered from the sidelines.

Zoro and Sanji were wandering around the eastern part of the island. Just like Luffy, they had also gotten themselves into a fight. But unlike Luffy, Zoro and Sanji were losing.

Needles and Shuraiya Bascùd, two of Gasperde's trusted men, were fighting Zoro and Sanji. Meanwhile, the other minions were keeping Ussop busy. 

This was the situation until Luffy and Nami reached this place. Luffy waited at first since he didn't want to take out the people who his crewmates were fighting, but after Needles defeated Sanji, he had to jump forward. 

That's when the dark-skinned bulky man jumped in front of Luffy and was one-shotted by him. 

Back to the present, Luffy eyed Needles. His gaze was sharp as he prepared to attack using his Gomu-Gomu no Pistol. But – before he could do so, a heavy voice interrupted him. 

"Now, why don't you calm down, Straw Hat." A person walked towards the fighters with heavy steps. "Or your grandpa would be sad at your death."

"Huh?" Luffy turned towards the voice and glared at him. "Who are ya, you huge head?!"

"It's Gasparde, but that's not important. Why don't you sit still and let me capture you, instead?" Gasparde started and walked in front of Needles. "I am sure you wouldn't want to fight a logia user."

Nami gasped from behind Luffy. "Luffy! That's the Warlord Gasparde! He is super strong, don't let him catch you off guard!"

Ignoring Nami, Luffy frowned at the word 'logia'. He raised his fist at Gasparde instead, wanting to get a practical answer he punched forward. Luffy's punch rushed towards Gasperde's chest and went through his body as if it was made of tofu, making Luffy frown.

"Ah, attacking me even though I wasn't done talking. Surely your grandfather didn't do a good job in teaching you proper manners." Gasparde blurted all to Luffy's annoyance.

It was at this moment when Gasparde raised his fist as it morphed into an axe made of green candy. "Let me show you the powers of my Candy-Candy fruit."

He kicked the ground and reached for Luffy in an instant. His hand blurred and went towards Luffy's hand. He didn't want to kill Luffy, but cutting a limb off should be fine, right?

Luffy was caught off guard because of the speed. He nonetheless raised his fist to counterattack since dodging seemed improbable. He wanted to punch Gasparde's face before the axe could have hit him, but at this rate, even though his punch would land on Gasparde's face, the axe would also land on his arm, severing it in the process.

It was then — Fwoosh! — as a leg appeared between Luffy and the axe and immediately the axe hit the leg. But rather than being cut off, a clink sound resounded throughout the place instead.

"My, is that all your candy can do?" The owner of the leg said, a smirk on her face. "So weak that even my honey-body is solid enough to block it, you limp dick bastard."

Gasparde's eyes became bloodshot at this. "YOU–!!"

"Shut up, pig. Don't you see the Queen talking?" The blonde woman, Honey Queen smirked as her raised leg moved like a snake and wrapped around Gasparde's arm in an instant.

"What are you—" Gasparde was interrupted as he felt a strong force pressing his arm hard. The next second sound of multiple bones breaking sounded. "AUGH! YOU WITCH!"

Honey Queen chuckled darkly. She can solidify her logia body. Something very few logia bodies can achieve.

In Skypiea

"We had a hard time getting our hands on this, you better be careful with it." Judge said sternly to Karna who cracked up.

"Hey hey, this is fascinating. This Caesar guy is better than I thought. He can never make the proper thing, but what he made is good enough." Karna commented while inspecting a 20 meter tall yellow-skinned giant humanoid body. 

Judge crossed his arms and maintained his gaze to keep the boy in check. While thinking, 'That Caesar… he has improved a lot since the last time we crossed paths.'

Because of the deal he made with Doffy 2 years ago, Amon can use Caesar every now and then. Obviously, with such an opportunity, Amon didn't forget to threaten Caesar with his life if he doesn't listen to any command.

In canon, Cheaser had made the "Numbers'' for the Beast Pirates. The Numbers were once humans whose Lineage were changed based on an Oars' DNA, as far as Amon could recall. So he has asked Cheaser to specifically notify him the moment he progresses with this experiment – which he did a few days ago. 

Since Amon plans to change his DNA without dying, even more so to make it like an Oars' — this body of a "Number" that Cheaser had sent would help a lot. The main problem of dying when changing his Lineage would be gone with this.

But the other problem is the subject can have too much change in his appearance. A giant body, a pair of horns, yellow skin, and ridged teeth. But the main drawback is that the subject becomes brain dead and loses most of their intelligence

Amon is the type who would do anything for power, so becoming an ugly giant wasn't really that much of a problem for him – more so since he can freely alter his size with his fruit. The only drawback in appearance would have been his ugly face, but he was happy to accept that for power. However, the bigger problem was the intelligence part. He isn't willing to give up his intelligence for any power boost!

Karna stopped circling the body and looked at Judge's eye. "So our job has been shortened a little. Now our current goal is to make sure the subject doesn't lose any intellect, correct? Brother Amon said he doesn't mind looking like an ugly pig, so I guess we should focus on the brain first."

Judge sighed. "Let me tell you again, don't mess things up for me. I don't want my lord to look like a Pig even if he says he won't mind. You get it?'

Suzdal Kingdom

"Charlotte Katakuri, is it?" Raki asked, looking ahead where a tall man with scarf covering half of his face was standing while leaning against the wall. "I thought Big Mom would come now that her favourite juice factory has been destroyed. But I guess the rumour about her being a sweet-fanatic was a lie?"

"...You wouldn't want her to come after you, trust me," Katakuri said in a low but prominent voice while staring Raki in the eye. 

Raki was wearing skintight jeans and a white shirt with loose buttons that was ragged because of her nightly activities. She scratched the back of her head with an annoyed look on her face. "Oh, come on. Stop with that attitude of yours." 

Katakuri stayed silent until the end. Raki groaned and took out both her swords. "Alright, fine. Let's just finish this quickly, I am a very busy woman."

Fwoosh!

Kicking the ground, Raki vanished from sight.
