One Piece: Reborn as a Skypiean
Chapter 63 - Arrival Of The Croc...

Chapter 63

Title: Arrival of the Croc...

….

Robin was sitting in Amon's office, and doing the job he was supposed to do.

'He hasn't called for 2 days now… What is he doing?' Robin was confused and a little scared too. Though she just sighed and kept working.

Minutes passed, and she heard a knock on the door.

Knock Knock

It was a calm knock, hearing which Robin frowned. The floor outside was supposed to make sounds on each footstep, yet there were no sounds whatsoever.

Without thinking much, she looked at the Monitor beside her. Amon had placed many Den-den mushis all around the place, the snails with the properties of a C.C.T.V. 

Her eyes arched up as she looked at the person behind the door. One question lingered in her mind, 'What is one of the Warlords doing here?'

Yes, It was him. One of the seven warlords, Sir Crocodile.

After a little hesitation, Robin opened the door and greeted him while he just looked at her face for a few seconds.

«...★...»

*Slash!*

On the other hand, Amon was fighting the 16th Commander of God's Militia, Gan Fall's Son–Reo.

The guy attacked Amon in the chest, though Amon just took a sidestep and evaded the spear. 

Currently, many people were around the place, with most of them being Birkans who were looking at the fight with shining eyes. They were very eager for the result of the fight. They weren't sure if their Kami-sama would win or not, but even if he loses nothing will change, after all, their Kami-sama is yet to ascend! Even if he loses today, he WILL win someday!

The same thoughts didn't linger in the minds of Skypieans though. They believed Amon would lose since he restricted himself to not use his Thunder Powers. The current fight was a fight of techniques and spears-manship, and Reo was one of the best at it while Amon, stated by himself, is a newbie.

A newbie, suppressing his powers, would lose to a veteran. They thought this at first, though not anymore.

In reality, up until now, Reo wasn't able to hit Amon at all, not even once. Surprisingly, Amon was just dodging his attacks, while he just stayed passive.

Yes, while Reo was giving his all, Amon was just dodging. More precisely, he was training his Kami-E, one of the six powers. 

Since Amon was able to use Rokuougan, it was obvious he was very good at the rest of the six powers. Actually, he was pretty good at Kami-E as well, however, this technique was his weak point.  So here he was, training it by dodging the attacks by his instinct.

Along with that, Amon was relying on his Lighting's sensing powers currently. Mixing his ability to sense the electrical current in the air and Kami-E, Amon was able to dodge the attacks more precisely. At this rate, he might one day achieve Ultra Instinct!

Gash!

Another attack rushed towards Amon's eyes, which he dodged by crouching down.

'It's quite hard without Observation Haki…' Amon thought with a wry smile. He has been using Observation each and every day after awakening it 13 years ago, so now that he is suppressing it fully he is feeling quite strange. 

"Haah!!" Reo shouted and took a side step, he leaned down and jabbed his spear forward.

*Foowh!* 

Yet, Amon just lightly dodged the attack which was directed at his left shoulder. That was a distraction though, as next moment another attack was directed at his neck, which he had to block with his Gold Spear that he formed from the golden staff by melting it with his heat.

With a *Clang* sound, the two spears clashed while Amon jumped back a little. He not only didn't seem injured, but he also wasn't even gasping for air compared to his opponent.

"Haahh…" Reo felt as if his heart would stop from over-pumping the blood. His hands were shaking profusely and he was on the verge of collapsing. 

In the whole fight of 7 minutes, he only got one hit while each of his attacks created many spots for an attack, yet Amon didn't take the chance, after all, he was training his dodging skill. 

'Weak. Weak. Weak. Weak. Weak. Weak.' Reo was chanting the word under his breath as he took a few deep breaths. 'I will at least land 5 hits… I promised myself!'

Reo didn't want to accept his offer at a duel, yet, but he wanted to see how far he would go. Yes, he was seeing that exact thing he wanted. He was witnessing his limit.

Clenching his teeth, he again dashed at Amon, who just dodged his attack with bored eyes which only made Reo's inferior complex act severely. 'WHY!'

His arms bulged and his muscles fumed up, his spear went towards Amon's heart surpassing the speed of before. Some people's eyes arched up as… *Bam!* Amon's own spear's end hit Reo in the stomach.

….

Before Reo's spear could hit Amon, Amon's hands moved automatically as he flipped his spear and hit Reo in the stomach. 

With a "Gah!" Reo flew out of the ring and fell to the ground since nobody caught him. 

Thud!

"Whoaaa!"

"Look, Kami-sama beat a veteran!"

"KYAAAH!"

Amon looked at the exhilarated Birkans for a second before opening his mouth. "Somebody, take him to the doctor. Guy's about to get a heart attack."

"A–Ah! Yes, yes. Somebody!"

Soon, some people came forward and picked Reo.

Looking at the barely conscious man, Amon realized something. Reo was weak. 

But he would rise. He had the Will. He just needs some motivation… 

'Motivation, huh?' Amon thought with a smirk. At some point in his previous life, he used to watch motivational speeches on YouTube. Pathetic. 'A few lies will do the trick.' 

With his mind distracted again, Amon walked away. For now, he has business with Artificial Intelligence. It's Do or Die now.

Soon after, Amon left through the door while people kept staring at his back.

"Damn… just what happened here," Wyper said with his mouth agape.

It was surprising to him. The whole fight, Amon didn't use his thunder powers, he just dodged and dodged. Yes, the only one attack made was enough to take out Reo. He was knocked by a single attack, knocked to the death door. 

Reo felt weak… but he was happy. 

'At least, I was able to force him to attack.'

Though he didn't know, Amon was just getting bored and he had more important things to do. Which he left to do...

«...★...»

After leaving the Training Hall, Amon tried to directly [Flash] at the Shandora Hall, yet he failed to pass through the outer wall. It seems, beneath the steel wall on the other side, there was a layer of wall made of something completely electricity nonconductive.

Amon's wariness increased, as he thought things with the AI won't be as easy as he initially thought. 

….

On the other hand, in the Blue sea, Whiskey Peak, in Amon's office Crocodile was sitting opposite Robin.

"Mister Crocodile… Luci–Lucifer isn't here." With a smile, Robin said in a straight face towards Crocodile while he just kept squinting her face.

"You're… Miss All Sunday? Have we met before?" He asked with his hands resting on the table and his hook-hand knocking on the table. "I really feel like I saw you somewhere before."

Robin froze internally, though she maintained the smile outside. "You must be mixing me with someone else… Why don't we talk about why you are here?" She asked as she leaned back. 

"I will deliver it to Lucifer, how about it?"

Robin said as Crocodile stayed silent. Finally he said in a gruff voice, "Fine, I was sent by the Marine Fleet Admiral. I'm here to talk about…"
