Chapter 138

Title: I hate this...

….

"Ugh.. father?"

"Get up, tell me what happened, Yamato," Kaido ordered with an angered face.

Grabbing her head, Yamato sat down and explained to Kaido what she saw. How the man wearing an orange hat killed Jack ruthlessly. She didn't know his name, but Kaido knew it was Ace because of the report Jack made after returning from Risky Red island.

"...?!"

Suddenly, Yamato's face went dark as her eyes grew up while her mouth widened. She quickly touched her waist, the place where Oden's diary was kept. The place felt… empty?

'No, no! It can't be.'

Feeling nothing, Yamato instantly jumped up and looked at Kaido, frustrated. "F-Father, my diary is gone!"

"...Huh? What diary?" Kaido answered with a confused yelp.

….

Yamato told Kaido about Oden's diary, how she had it with her from the beginning. Hearing it, Kaido was more baffled than angry that she hid this truth.

However, that didn't last long as stress soon took over him.

It took a while for him to make two plus two equal four, and soon it was clear who stole the diary – the one who killed Jack, Ace!

'According to Jack's report, that kid has Advanced Conqueror's Haki. He is a threat even without that diary, I need to capture him and break his limbs, that should be enough.'

Kaido rarely kills promising younglings, like how in his fight with Luffy in the canon, he only threatened him to break his limbs, not kill him entirely.

Still, he was still interested in the One Piece, he was the Strongest Creature, standing on the same level as Whitebeard, the Strongest Man, it was only natural that one of these two will be the next pirate king.

'Old Whitebeard has aged too much, he isn't even interested in that title too. Only I am left, that diary will help me achieve my dream.'

"Worororo!"

Kaido suddenly felt a great amount of anger towards Yamato, but being her father he had to stop himself from going to great lengths.

He got up and just looked at her eyes with a frown. "Yamato, return to your residence. I don't want to see you outside for 6 months. You are grounded, am I clear?"

Yamato could only bite her lips in response. Kaido just walked from there and leaped in the sky in his dragon form.

His last words being: "Don't worry, I will get the diary back."

«…?...»

Meanwhile, Amon wasn't just idling around, waiting for Kaido to come.

He finished the important stuff first, like leaving Jack's devil fruit in the sky along with the diary. The fight with Kaido will be hard, so he can't keep them with him, considering the worse situation.

The question was – why fight Kaido?

Amon already got the diary and successfully made Ace the suspect. He also got Tama. Won't the best possible course of action be, leave the Spade Pirates and let Kaido kill them?

'That would be smart – only if I didn't have more plans for Ace.'

Yes, Ace's fucked up life hadn't ended yet. There was a long road to it.

'I want Ace to join the Whitebeard Pirates. Then when Blackbeard escapes the crew, let Ace go after him and get captured like cannon. This time, since Ace is stronger, Teach might fail, but I will help. The War of the Best is the most important thing for me.'

Amon had plans for Blackbeard, but he wanted him to live until the War of the Best. His body would be useful to him only after that.

'Also –'

Amon's thoughts were cut by a voice.

"Hey."

It was perry.

As Amon turned around her, she hesitantly opened her mouth. "C-Can we… talk?"

Amon smirked internally. 'I've been waiting for you.'

….

It was midnight, everyone was asleep. Perry took this opportunity to talk with Amon… a talk for the last time.

"So, what do you want to talk about with me?" Amon asked casually while leaning on the fence of the ship.

"Well…" Perry again hesitated, only to open her mouth minutes later. "I heard you will leave with O-Tama after escorting us to Maccurine kingdom…?"

Amon nodded. "Yes, that's what I talked with Ace about. At first, he wanted me to leave you guys on Risky Red Island, he wanted to spend some time on the place where Deuce died. But I was against it since you know, Kaido might come here soon. We then decided to leave for a random kingdom."

Amon has told Ace about Kaido's potential arrival and offered that he would fight him. Ace was against it, but he was weak so he had to listen. After this happened, Ace wished Kaido didn't spot the ship, but it was impossible with Kaido's massive body looking down from the sky. He would, sooner or later, discover this ship.

"So, after escorting you guys on that kingdom, I will take Tama and leave."

Perry's eyes visibly lost light. "Can't you… become a part of the crew?"

After a short silence, Amon burst out snickering. It came from his heart. "No can do, Miss. My life is harsher than you think, this world isn't a seven-colored Rainbow, things aren't supposed to go as we want it to be."

Perry's looked down on the floor. "I see… You must have lived a hard life." She raised her head and looked at his eyes with a pair of determined eyes. "I am sorry."

The wind blew. 2 moons were visible in the sky, Perry's moist eyes were reflecting both of them to Amon's view. While her brown hair fluttered in the air, Amon was lost for a second.

'...I don't like it.'

He didn't like doing this, but it was needed. He needed a spy within Whitebeard Pirates, and she was the best candidate.

Amon sighed. "Hey, Perry."

"Uh…" Perry looked at Amon's eyes. "Yes?"

Amon didn't say anything, he just took his mask off.

"Do you like me..?"

"..."

Perry was speechless seeing his face. This was her first time seeing his face, she would have normally yelled happily, but her heart wasn't in that state right now. She simply felt happy that he was showing his face to her after traveling together for so long.

"I know I am being straightforward, but answer it, do you like me?"

As another minute passed in silence, she finally processed what Amon said and opened her mouth. "Th...that. I don't know."

She was being truthful. "I... I am not sure, I feel good around you. But is it love..? I don't know."

Perry scratched her arm. "I know I don't make any sense but… maybe, I love you."

'Maybe…?' Amon laughed. How interesting human emotions were.

Laughing lightly Amon stared at her rosy lips. "You are surprisingly blunt, I like it."

Without saying anything more, he walked closer to her. Perry instinctively stepped back, but Amon wrapped his arms around her.

"Good girl, I am very sorry."

Perry didn't get the chance to intercept what he was apologizing for, as Amon put his lips above hers and kissed her deeply.

She struggled since it was sudden as he chirped lightly: "Just enjoy it."

As she gave herself up to the pleasure, Amon slowly raised his right hand towards her head and grabbed it from behind.

"Enjoy a deep sleep."

Zzzz~

….

After making the now puppet Perry return to her room, Amon stood by the ship's deck while drinking mango juice from a glass.

"I hate this – yet… No, this is being hypocritical. I had this in my mind from the beginning, I am at fault. Saying that I don't like it would be hypocrisy at its best. But…" Amon chuckled looking at the small moon in the sky, it was Moon-1§. The place where he built a mansion. "Do I care?"

Throwing the empty glass in the sea, Amon had one answer: "No."

Only his goal mattered. Sacrifices are inevitable.

Still – 'But, I should be careful to not hurt the few people I have come to love after 19 years of this life…'

In the end, he just laughed. But it didn't last long.

Fwooh! Wind blew fast.

"He is here…"

290 kilometers away, a high presence was coming towards this place.

"Kaido…"

Amon grinned. 'I need to call Ace and prepare their leave '

Minutes later.

"ROAAR! KID, WHERE ARE YOU HIDING?!'

The voice of a rough beast sounded through the New World.
