[2 months later| Whiskey Peak]

It was night time, and a bloody battle was taking place in Whiskey Peak. A large crowd of bounty hunters with weapons in their hands were surrounding 2 people. One with chestnut hair, and one with bloody red wings with blood dripping from them. Many dead bodies were also lying around the two.

"'Crimson Wing', you have been stealing all our targets for the last months, we didn't mind it." A deep voice said. "However, you are protecting a pirate with 25 million Belly in secret? Heh! Talk about hypocrisy." The voice belonged to a skinny bounty hunter, as he said this from the middle of the crowd. 

He seemed to be the leader of the mobs.

"Hahaha! Aren't you guys funny?!" The person with blood-red wings, Amon laughed while pointing his fingers ahead. "I do what I want, isn't that what bounty hunting is all about?!"

"Right, Amon," Beside him was the person with chestnut hair, Cricket said. "Haha, Amon. You have logic but…Huff…" He seemed tired. "You should fly away. I don't think we will hold off against a whole island of bounty hunters… huff…" He said while huffing. He had a few scratches on his body, but mostly, his stamina was out from kicking constantly.

2 months ago, when Amon decided to leave after getting his hands on a Log pose, and also an eternal log pose of Whiskey peak, Cricket requested to tag along, bull-sh*tting about replaceing a new adventure and whatnot.  

Amon accepted him as a companion even though he was aware of Cricket's bounty as he himself had revealed it, he also knew how inconvenient it would be on Whiskey Peak, yet he accepted his request. There is a specific reason for this though. "The 2-year timeframe would be his exam period. I will set a goal of growth for him for these years, if he passes it, I will take him to the sky. But if he fails my expectations… Well, 25 million is a large number in the end." This was Amon's thought at that time.

Amon grinned as he remembered his own words to himself. "Don't worry, Chestnut-man! I was the one to bring you here, how could I leave you in the middle?!" Cricket has passed his expectations quite pleasingly. And in the past 2 months, his growth was tremendous.

Amon looked back at him with a grin. "Hey, Cricket. You don't mind deaths do you?"

"Huh-uh? Well, I'm a pirate, a proud one! Death is common to me, hahaha!" Cricket answered as Amon moved his head.

"Well, then crouch down. I will show you my new move..." 

"Oh-ho? Now, that's the line I was waiting for you to say! This is officially my favorite line, hahaha!" After releasing a burst of laughter, Cricket then crouched down with a grin.

The next moment, Amon's wings widened themselves, as his feathers became pronounced while perking up.

"Bye, bye peeps," Amon said with a sadistic grin. He has been training with his wings and learning about their unique powers every now and then...

[Wing Sword Style: Feather Genocide]

*Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew!*

The next moment, seemingly thousands of his red feathers plummeted from his wings and dashed towards everyone around him, penetrating their bodies in the process. This action turned his wings into only bones. But soon enough, new white feathers bloomed on his skeleton wings.

"Damn… That was fire!" Cricket shouted in exhilaration.

«…*...»

[Time-skip| 4 months later| Skypiea]

It's been a while since Amon was last seen in the Sky. Though the Skypieans didn't know that he left the Sky.

In the port of Angel island, a medium-sized ship halted. The ones riding the boat were not locals, nor were they outsiders. Though they also had wings like Skypieans, their wings were much bigger than the norm and were pointed downwards as it proved their identity as Birkans.

….

"Wow, are they the Birkans?"

"It seems like that, look their wings are so cool."

"Heh, still our Kami-sama's wings are cooler."

"Well, if you compare like that...."

The Skypieans around the port were talking as they were observing the Birkans. They were not sure why they were here, but they weren't worried. First of all, the Birkans are a peaceful race, and secondly, even if something unexpected happens and the Birkans try to attack them, they will be done in by the Militia. 

Last 6 months, when some pirates attacked, they have seen… many things. 

"H-Hey!" Suddenly, one of the Skypieans shuttered, realizing something important. "Aren't they the Birkan Priests? Damn! They are respectable guests!"

"Really?! Somebody, take them to the Praying House!"

The ones who arrived at this place weren't just any Birkan, they are the top 6 of the Birkan race, the Priests! 

….

Soon after, some Skypieans took them to a big and round church-like building at the side of Angel Island. 

Above the building, some words were written in bold text, "Praying House". 

Unlike the idea the name provides, this isn't that kind of church. Rather, this is a place where the outsiders can buy a coupon that can be used to visit the upper yard, and if they pay more, they can even meet God himself.

This system worked like a charm as many Blue-sea people brought the coupon with 100 million Belly just to take a glance at the land of God. Though nobody brought the 1 billion offer which would have let them meet God himself. Though the offer was tempting, 1 billion was a large number and there was no guarantee of them meeting God for real.

Luckily, they didn't buy it or they would have been scammed anyway, since God wasn't present at this place at the time.

Nonetheless, the ones who brought the ticket of 100 million never saw the Gold, as they were forbidden from entering the right side of the upper yard, even with the coupon. As of currently, the revelation of the  Golden city will only bring troubles.

Soon, the 6 Birkans reached the church, as they met a blonde receptionist. 

….

"Uh, hello! I heard you guys are the Birkan priests? Welcome to the Angel island." The receptionist said with a slight bow. She was wearing a nun outfit, however, the Priests could tell she was just dressed in a hurry, as her black bra under it could be seen when she bowed. 

She was Koin, who was playing around just a few minutes earlier as the news of Birkan visitors reached her shortly after. She usually works in a normal outfit, but since it's the Priest of the Birkans, she decided to wear the formal dress in a hurry...

"Thank you, mortal girl." The humble voice answered, as Koin raised her head and looked towards the man.

He was tall and had blonde hair along with strange long ears. "Nice to meet you, I'm the high-priest of Birka, priest Enel." It was the Enel! The same Enel who became God after eating Goro-Goro no mi in the canon timeline. However, it is highly unlikely to happen this time around.

"Amithaba." Enel said, as his chest was naked and held his hands in an 'Amithaba' position. 

Beside Enel, there were another 5 priests. 4 of the 5 people were the ones who became Enel's God's army in the canon. The Priests are named Ohm, Shura, Gedatsu, Satori. 

Amon would have recognized all of them, except one of them.

One of them was someone who Amon didn't know from the anime, though he did know her after reincarnation. The blood donor, High Priest, or rather now, the Arch-Priest, who is of the highest rank among the 6 Priests in front.

…..

On the other hand, Koin was in a tight position. 'Ugh, they are the real deal.' She thought internally, as she was sweating a little, albeit mostly because of the dress she was wearing. Usually, she doesn't wear her formal work dress, and performs her job in her normal clothes, however today the guests seemed important.

She wasn't sure why the priests were here, but it was clear that they came to meet God, or rather Amon as she calls him. It's most likely a political thing, so it might cause inconvenience if she acts strangely.

She took a deep breath. 'Though I know the current God, Amon, personally, I never really saw him like that before his new-look six months ago… This is my first time meeting someone of such high status… Sigh, get a hold of yourself Koin!' 

Like how people will get nervous meeting another country's president and his guards in Amon's world, it was the same in this world too. That's the main reason for Koin's behavior.

"Um, please ask me anything you need, I-I'm the one who manages things here." Without realising, she shuttered and bowed lightly.

'Ugh, Who knew this job was so hard?' Koin gritted her teeth internally. 'I only took it since this pays well. Also because it's a respectable job… This didn't exist before Amon came in power. It was easy for me to ask him for this job, I kind of fooled him if I say so myself.' Koin thought as she sighed. Though she didn't know Amon only gave the job to her since she is the one of the few beautiful Skypiean he knew, making the job of the receptionist perfect for her. And as he expected, 30% of the customers who bought the coupon only visited the church because of the blonde nun and bought it by falling for her sweet words.

Her husband, Pagaya is also working as a militia as a rover and shooter engineer. Remembering this, she clenched her fists. 'Our family is doing very good these days… Can't mess it up, or I will lose the job.'

Ignoring these thoughts, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Fuuh…"

Then she opened her eyes with a newfound cool in them. "Welcome,  priests of Birka, I'm here in your service. So, please let me know how I can help you." She said as she went for a bow again, however, she felt two feminine hands stopping. 

"You don't have to be so nervous, miss." A sweet voice said. "We are simply here to meet the God." She said and helped her raise her head.

Looking ahead, Koin was a little surprised at how she didn't notice this girl before, it's almost as if she blended herself in the surroundings…

Around 1.6 meters tall, she had long red hair along with large purple eyes. She wore a yellow robe, a pair of earrings with green pearl and a yellow lash connected to it. She looked simply charming.

It was the Arch-Priest, Yona. The owner of the blood that Amon and Seraph used.

A/N: Yes, Enel is a priest... really. Also, the girl isn't that important to the story.
