One Piece: Reborn as a Skypiean

Chapter 24

….

–General Pov–

[A few minutes ago]

*DIING!*

*DIING!*

*DIING*

When Amon rang the bell with the help of Gan Fall hitting it, the bell's sound even reached 10 thousand meters below, reaching the leftover of Jaya. The Skypieans also heard it. 

"What's this?"

"The earth is singing?!"

"D-Don't tell me is this the sound of the bell from the legends??"

"I can't believe it! It rang after 400 years!"

The Skypieans were dumbfounded, but they were more interested in what caused the bell to ring. Does this mean the war between them and the Shandians has ended, finally!?

It didn't take them long to learn it for real, as soon after, one by one God's militia started to come out from the forbidden Upper-yard.

….

On the other hand, the large snake Nola went mad as it was running around with tears falling from its eyes along with a happy smile on its face. She recalled the days from 400 years ago, how Kalgara used to ring this very bell every day, how this sound was her most favorite.

Who would have thought, even after 400 years, she would feel the same happiness hearing that sound?!

….

On the other hand, the Shandians were standing proudly, with tears falling from their eyes like fountains. This tear was from pure bliss, from pure happiness. The war has ended… The Golden bell that started it all, has finally ended it all too.

"Kalgara…" The chief said as teats were falling from his eyes. "Do you hear? The war has ended, we have gotten our land back. We…" Tears covered his whole face. "WE HAVE WON!"

The war had ended. They wanted to kill the ones responsible for this, but unfortunately, they have already perished with time. The current God and his militia aren't the culprits for this… Yes, they still did wrong to them, but the Shandians didn't want to continue this war any longer by seeking revenge…. all for the sake of Kalgara.

…..

[A few hours later]

"Hahaha! Eat more! Today is a day of celebration!"

It was night time, and Gan Fall had already left. Currently, only the Shandians were inhabiting the island, their homeland.

They were celebrating after their one-sided win. Everyone was present there, but they weren't eating sea-foods like they usually do at a feast. Today, they were eating fruits, fresh and juicy fruits!

"*Munch* *Munch…" Amon was also pouring fruits into his mouth, while many kids were sitting around him, also eating. They just had a small celebration with their leader, and now after doing that for the whole day, they were now dead tired.

"Hey, start the bonfire already!" Duy shouted, as some teenagers quickly prepared the bonfire. Today was the day of celebration, today they will eat meat! 

Eating fish and sea-foods their whole life, they had a kick for meat. Just as valuable gold was to blue-sea people, meat was more valuable to the sky people. Especially Shandians. 

"Sniff, Sniff." As the crispy scent of cooked meat entered Amon's nose, his mouth became watery. 

'Can't believe I only had 9 meals with meat in my 10 years old life..' Amon thought as he chuckled. 'Yet now, I can have meat, fruits, and everything I want. Upper-yard is min-wait.' Suddenly Amon realized he isn't a God yet, or at least, not officially. 'Well, let this feast end first. Then I will see…' Amon thought as he shifted his concentration back to the meal.

….

A few hours have passed,  one would notice a giant snake sleeping not far behind Amon. A while ago, the snake came here with saliva dripping from her mouth. She didn't attack them though, she clearly recognized the people of Shandia! There was her master!

Not only Nola the snake, but even the kids were also sleeping all around Amon. Raki had her head on his lap, as she had also fallen asleep. Along with baby Aisa, Isa was also beside him with her eyes almost closed. Kids like Wyper, Kamakiri, Braham were also around him, asleep. 

Amon was still eating, as he was quite tired from the constant kick he had to do for [Geppo], he needed energy, and the meat's the best source of it.

While eating, Amon was looking ahead of him. There, the chief was sitting with all the tribesmen surrounding him, with the expectation of the kids around Amon. They were seemingly discussing something, as Amon tried to prey using his [Observation Haki]...

Amon chuckled internally hearing their topic of discussion. Soon, without any more thoughts, Amon also fell asleep.

…..

[Next day, Morning]

"Hey, Amon, wake up!" Chief was there, shaking Amon's body as he slowly opened his eyes.

"Yawn… Hey, chief." Yawning, Amon got up, as he noticed Raki wasn't on his lap anymore. "What is it? Today is the day after the celebration, we need more sleep… yawn." He said while rubbing his eyes.

Without saying anything more, the chief placed his Staff on Amon's hand and quickly walked back.

Rubbing his eyes, Amon blinked seeing what was in front of him. '...Heh.'

Shandians were standing in front of him in a line, with their heads down with serious looks on their faces... Even Raki, Isa, and Wyper were amongst them. Amon could guess what was happening but still made a surprised face. 

"H-hey guys, what's going on?" He asked, as though clueless.

The chief who lifted his head up with pride and said,"You will soon learn what this means, Amon. But first…"

"We Shandians are the descendants of the great Shandorians. The inhabitants of the "City of Gold" 800 years ago, the Shandorians' Kingdom was invaded by an alliance of 20 kingdoms."  He continued, strong emotions welling up within him as he talked about the long lost glorious past of his ancestors.

"The Shandorians' kingdom fell but the people didn't give up and what was once a great kingdom has now been reduced to what you see now, a small tribe which came to be known as the Shandians. We were bestowed with the duty to protect the Golden Belfry bell that contained the poneglyph and we protected it for centuries until Kalgara's time."He then stopped for a moment and took a deep breath.

"Kalgara, with his overwhelming power, protected Jaya island, our home from outsiders for a long time until the arrival of Mont Blanc Noland! He was a good man, as he brought us out from the delusion that a snake can't be God, and sacrificing our own children for prosperity doesn't work… " Amon understood that Noland hadn't managed to convince everyone as some people still believed the nonsense after all he had almost become a sacrifice himself.

"After that, Mont Noland left, and Kalgara kept ringing the bell, so that one day he would return, however, we didn't get the chance to meet him for the second time, as our homeland was shot up to the sky!

There we met the Skypieans, and one of them claimed to be God. They had the audacity to call themselves God! The tribe had already stopped believing in God by then." Chief said with force in his voice!

"We got into a war with them, which Kalgara started by ringing the bell before his death! Thus leaving the burden of war for his descendants to carry…" He said with a bitter tone. "In the end, Kalgara failed to protect our land. He was a great warrior, but he failed the one duty he had…" 

Amon smirked internally, 'The tribe worshipped Kalagara and revered him. Although, It was a good thing since I am his descendant, but now that I am strong enough not to need that privilege, there is no need to hide behind his title.' He thought. 'After all, I can't be known as Amon, the great warrior who is Kalgara's descendant, rather I would have to make a name for myself to gain these fools' absolute loyalty.' Amon thought as he looked towards the chief who had a bitter expression.

Weeing this, he chuckled internally. '….For me I get their absolute loyalty, I had to break the perfect image they have of him and replace it with mine.' He thought. 'Which I already did, since that's why the chief has that expression.'

Chief used to tell stories about Kalgara at least 3 times a day, this was kind of annoying, however, Amon knew how to use these situations perfectly. Whenever he told a 'brave' story of Kalgara, Amon used to point out flaws in Kalgara's actions. Though he never went too far and did not badmouth Kalgara since these fucked up tribesmen might have attempted to do something stupid. 

Amon had slowly chipped away at the old man's beliefs and they had eroded to today's extent where Kalgara's good deeds were overshadowed by his implanted failures.

Old man chief didn't know, but he was already dancing in Amon's palm.

*Thud*

The next moment, every one of the Shandians kneeled in front of Amon, except the Chief who just continued "So, after 400 years, when someone has done something that Kalgara wasn't able to achieve…" He then slowly started to wall towards him. "He has sincerely surpassed Kalgara, by doing something Klagara himself failed to achieve!"

With a garland in his hand, he stopped in front of Amon. "That someone is you, Warrior Amon-no… It's Great Warrior Amon now." A smile bloomed on his face, as he looked at Amon looking at him with wide eyes. "Yes, yes! You have surpassed Kalgara! You have completed the duty that our ancestors had bestowed us upon! You have succeeded!" He said as he stopped in front of Amon.

Silence. A short silence took place, as the kneeling figures looked at their leader with a proud smile. They felt proud that they were lucky enough to be born in this era and have Amon as their leader, a leader who surpassed the great Kalgara!

"So now," The chief then continued. "I, as the tribe chief of Shandia, declare you, Warrior Amon…" He then put the garland around Amon's neck. "AS THE "GREAT WARRIOR" AMON! THE WARRIOR GREATER THAN KALGARA! THE NEW GOD OF UPPER YARD!"

Immediately after this, everyone bowed and touched their heads on the ground. Even the chief followed them and did the same.

Amon's face showed an expression of shock as though he couldn't believe what had transpired in front of him.

However, his thoughts were quite… diverse. 'Well, well, well, isn't this the best feeling of the world?! Such loyalty, such reverence, is this how being a God feels like?' Amon thought with an internal chuckle. 

'Hey, God, are you seeing this?' He called out towards his imaginary God. 'You killed me back then, and now look! I'm God! I have become the fucking God!... Ironic isn't it?' He asked himself, as he almost yelled in exhilaration.

Amon almost lost his cool and burst out laughing, the feeling of power over so many people was intoxicating and exhilarating but he knew he couldn't get carried away by this feeling. However… "Fuuuh…" He just sighed. 'I must not grow too excited about this after all this is only the beginning…'

Then looking at the people below, he opened his mouth. "Everyone… Get your asses up from the ground!"

"As the new God, I, Amon shall order all of you, each and everyone of you..." He took a deep breath. "To Train Yourselves To Death!!! Only so, that Kalgara's history doesn't repeat itself!
