One Piece: Reborn as a Skypiean

Chapter 46 - Hero!

Chapter 46(Bonus?)

Title: Hero!

A/N: Was busy and tired today so Bonus chap came late. I will try to post the actual chapter soon enough, or after I wake up... :) But I will keep my promise ?.

….

After King Nefertiti Cobra's call, Amon informed the main group of Valkyries and then finished his job with his current client. Since it would still take a few more hours for both sides to arrive, Amon decided to take a nap with the client.

After doing so for hours, Amon decided to leave for the seashore where the pirates would supposedly arrive. Though nobody knew, even the pirates themselves, their alliance was only possible thanks to one person...

«…*...»

[10 minutes later]

*FAH! FAH! FAH!*

"Alright, clear this place if you don't want to die!" Amon was flying a little high from the surface and warning the citizens of the towns around the seashore to fall back.

"Pirates are coming! Don't make me kick you a hundred meters away, so flee!"

Though many questioned his words, since the pirate-hunting hero, Crocodile mostly does this job. Though when the royal guards arrived in time and pulled them back. 

Amon yawned seeing this while flying with his face facing the sky. "It isn't that hard to achieve zero casualties at this rate. Unlike how King Cobra believes, the pirates won't even be able to enter the kingdom. They will be dead by the time they step in the ground."

Crocodile has been here in Alabasta for 5 years now, and has been working as pirate-hunting hero while being a Shichibukai, though he was out for important work currently, that's why Amon chose this time or else he won't be paid 10 billion after all.

…..

Soon, the Valkyries arrived. Though since there weren't that many 'Jet-ships' only 86 of them arrived here.

….

[Another few hours later]

*BOOM!*

"DIE!"

A battle was taking place at Alabasta Kingdom's seashore. 

It was an alliance of 3 pirate crews. The Jammy pirates, the Loot pirates, and finally, the Power pirates. The alliance consisted of 20 ships and around 4000 members. Together, they had a bounty of astonishing 2 billion bellies! 

They were spotted around Alabasta suddenly, but before they could fully invade the country, the royal guards stopped them, additionally many bounty hunters were called for backup. They had all arrived, however, the Marines were still on their way…

King Cobra called any bounty hunters available, and he also asked the "Wingless Valkyries" for help. They were also on their way, though their Leader, Lucifer, who was coincidentally here, along with a few main members were fast enough to reach the place in time using their special Jet–Ship.

Currently, 86 of the 'Valkyries' were fighting against the 4000 pirates with the backup of Alabasta's royal guards.

«…*...»

Cricket was there in the battle, though he had a mask on his face to not let others recognize him. He was surrounded by 23 pirates at the same time. However, he had a bright smile on his face. 

"HAHAHA! This is why I love to work in this line! Such exhilaration!" Cricket laughed out loud while standing in a strange posture. 

"[Cricket Style:]" Like a chant, Cricket said as he raised his legs. "[Skull Crusher]!!" 

Cricket's leg became red in heat, as he disappeared from his spot, rushing towards the 23 pirates' heads, and crushed them like a nut. 

*Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!*

His kicks were persistent, but their skulls were not. Without many hindrances, cracks appeared in their heads as they fell on their backs with blood dripping down.

"Hahh… that was fun!" However, the technique made the user, Cricket, a bit out of breath.

…..

On the other hand, 20 'Valkyries' were forming a circle, with Nico Robin, the rising star in its center. Her devil fruit isn't good for direct combat, so this is the strategy Amon came up with. She can break anyone's neck on sight, so it's better for her to be inside a protected area.

Robin had her hands in front of her in a cross position, indicating her activation of devil fruit. 

"[Fleur: Clutch]"

*Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!*

Extra hands popped out of the enemies' shoulder, bent their heads backward, cracking them and killing some in the process.

"Wow… this is my first time seeing her use her powers." One of the Valkyries guarding her said in surprise.

"Imagine you are spending time with your girl, and suddenly your neck bends backward, Hahahaha!"

Robin ignored their jokes and paid attention to the enemies. She was exhausted from the usage of the fruit, but it wasn't enough to stop her.

….

Meanwhile, Amon was flying in the sky, showering his enemies with feathers now and then. 

He was fighting passively while searching for the captain, Power Wolf. The eater of the Beam-Beam fruit, who can seemingly release a Kamehameha like a beam from his belly button.

…It won't really affect Amon since the Burn Bazooka, with the same effect, doesn't even leave a scratch on his body. But that might not be the case for everyone present here, some won't even leave their ashes behind.

'It seems the Skypieans have more durability upon birth… Though that doesn't naturally mean strong too, as I can guarantee some of them, who would be ashes after receiving a hit from Burn Bazooka, are strong enough to beat some Raiders, albeit the ones before I became the leader.' 

*PEW!* Amon thought as he shot some feathers towards a sniper who pointed his gun at Robin's head. The enemy just fell on the ground without any sound, as the feather went through his head, hitting the ones behind him too.

'Anyway, the [Thunder Balls] have already surrounded the place. This will take down the mobs while I will fight the big boss.' Amon thought as he glanced at the thousands of yellow transplant balls around the place. With just a single order from his wings, they will bust and shock most of the pirates on the battlefield. They were more powerful than Nami's since he modified them with [Dial: Cloud Balls]

They were only around pirates because he has spread the balls in the sea, where the ships are, not in the land where the battle is going on.

Without wasting the time, Amon decided to execute his new technique, with the [Thunder Tempo] being a side note.

*FAH!* 

He flapped his wings and started to go up like a rocket, and soon he reached the 1000 meters mark, high in the sky. He didn't stop his speed, rather, keeping the speed he took a U-turn down, going towards the biggest ship in the sea, the ship which was being used by Captain Wolf. 

[Wing Sword Style:]

*Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa FAH!* As he flapped his wings at their top speed, the air formed a spherical barrier around him. He wasn't able to control the wind as it is, but he can move his wings as they are.

[WIND METEOR!]

Bam! Boom!

First a large crater, then the next moment… *CRASH!* The ship dissolved in the sea, if that wasn't enough, all the [Thunder Balls] also blasted at the same moment, shocking 40% of the pirates to unconsciousness. 

…..

"Cough–That was fun." Amon got up while throwing the debris over his head.

He then looked around to find everyone looking towards him, or more accurately, the destroyed ship with eyes filled with surprise. They were stopped in their spot in shock, letting their guard down. Amon frowned seeing this. 'They would have already died if the opponents weren't inexperienced.' 

As he looked around, his frown lessened. He noticed the first one to regain her composure was Robin, as she was again breaking necks. "[Fleur: Clutch]!"

"Yaw–Oh?" As Amon was yawning in boredom, he suddenly noticed Robin wasn't the only one to regain composure. A sniper from the other side also did, and currently, he was pointing his gun towards Robin. 

'Perfect timing, thanks. Now, it's time for me to act like a hero,' Thinking this with a smirk, Amon dashed towards Robin with the hybrid of [Soru+Geppo!] and his wings!

*FAH!* *FWOOSH!*

The world was a little slower than usual, but unlike the usual, Amon wasn't just able to see the slow world, he was also moving in that slow world. Though he wasn't that fast in the grand scheme of things, it was enough for this situation. 

When he's only a few meters away from Robin, he sensed the sniper pull the trigger.

*BANG!*

….

"!!!" Robin also sensed the bullet coming, but her speed was too slow to even locate the direction. She moved at her best speed and covered her face, an instinctual move.

*CHIP!*

She heard the sound of a bullet penetrating flesh… as she slowly opened her eyes. She wasn't the one to… receive the wound?

"..."

"Hahh… Well, Miss All Sunday should have been a little more careful." In Front of her, Lucifer was standing there with one of his hands around her shoulders and his wings acting as a barrier…. "Thank me later," 

Her eyes grew as she instinctively took a step back. But she was stopped by his hands on her shoulders. There, even in surprise, she noticed a bloody red feather rushing towards a sniper far away.  

Before she could react, she felt her consciousness switch off…

"¡!!!¡"

[Conqueror's Haki]

With Robin, everyone else on the battlefield, in the radius of a few kilometers, lost their consciousness and fell unconscious.

...

The Conqueror's Haki was an unexpected occurrence, but at least he was getting good at controlling it. Amon didn't have any intention to release it back then, but the wound on his beautiful wings made him too sentimental.

Now, Amon had his wings bandaged and was sitting on the ground with Robin's head resting on his hips. Amon was staring at his wounded wing as he released a sigh. 

'A small sacrifice for the greater good.' Around the central bone of the wing, a bullet wound was created and looked gruesome. Though it didn't hurt much as he applied some medicine made by himself. 

The thing is, his wings are durable… compared to his whole body, his wings' defense is the best. According to his estimation, currently, they could even take punches from Vice-Admirals and won't receive a scratch. And they can even become stronger by training.

Then why did this happen? A normal sniper bullet shouldn't be enough to hurt them, right?

The answer is simple. Amon has done it himself.

He controlled his wings, that exact spot where he sensed the bullet will hit, and with [Seimei Kikan], he weakened that part. Only to let the bullet penetrate it, which it did. His control over Seimei Kikan was getting good...

Everyone knows how much he loves his wings, even more so Robin who keeps an eye out for the weakness of everyone. She would definitely react extensively after seeing the Wings hurt by trying to protect her. She will feel indebted… This is the type of cliche psychological manipulation that will work always, forever, until the end of the world.

Especially against Nico Robin, the emotionally imbalanced girl.

**

A/N: We can see Amon using subtle manipulation to Robin. But that's not the only part of this chapter, he is also working with big countries… He might have been called a National Level hunter if this was Solo Leveling world...??
