One Piece: Reborn as a Skypiean

Chapter 57

Title: The World

…..

–General Pov–

On an island hidden from the world, a branch base of the Revolutionary Army was located. Inside the base, Monkey. D Dragon was sitting in a chair while reading a newspaper.

His eyes were slowly squinting at the newspaper with his usual expressionless face.

Time passed, as he noticed someone walking towards the room.

Tap Tap Tap Tap Tap Tap Tap

Dragon averted his gaze and looked at the door and soon, it opened with a 'creak' sound.

"Hey old man, I'm done training!" Seeing the blonde boy who was injured with bruises on his torso, Dragon smiled.

"Alright Sabo, now take some rest." He said in his natural gruff voice. "Rest is also a part of training."

As he said this, the blonde, Sabo nodded. He turned around to leave, but suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, by the way." He called out to Dragon, who had gone back to reading, causing him to look up. "Where is Hack? I didn't see him anywhere."

Dragon just smiled. "Don't worry, he is fine. He has… gone on a mission."

Nodding, Sabo didn't ask further questions and ran from there.

As he left, Dragon's face also returned to the expressionless one, and his eyes gleamed with strangeness for a second, before returning to normal. "Let's see what's happening in the Sky…"

[Whiskey Peak]

Robin was in the Mayor's building, working hard. She was writing some articles while glancing in front of her now and then.

In front of her, a bottle of whiskey was kept. She wanted to take a sip, she has become quite an addict these days. Slowly, she reached out her hand and grabbed the bottle.

"One sip won't do any harm…" She said and tried to pull the bottle but it felt heavy… "No, no. I shouldn't… he said not to drink."

Sighing, Robin put the bottle in the drawer and went back to writing. She had a lot of work these days, and it was boring and monotonous to do them without him around. She feels cramped in here alone, doing work… She stopped writing, and after a long silence, Robin sighed. "Am I doing this right? What if… My nightmare comes true?"

Robin rubbed her temples with a pained face. "I don't wanna lose him… maybe I should really leave. But I'm sure he will search for me." Robin slammed the table and leaned back on the chair. "I guess…" She opened the drawer and pulled out the bottle. "There is no helping my drunk self…"

Her face reflected on the glass bottle, as she opened the bottle cap…

This was the 2nd year since the guild's creation and by this time, the name of the "Wingless Valkyries" has traveled far and long. Even people like Shanks knew about it, though in the end, nobody cared about bounty hunters. After all, they are naturally weaker than marines or pirates.

Though there were cases like the appearance of strong bounty hunters before, they sooner or later turned into pirates. So some surely were keeping an eye out for a possible recruit for their ranks.

Though not everyone interested in this information was from factions, some were certain individuals.

….

[Dark King, Rayleigh!]

One of them was him, the Pirate King's first crewmate, Silvers Rayleigh!

He was in 'Shakky's Rip off bar' with another individual that's not from a faction, Shakky, Rayleigh's partner.

She was smoking a cigarette while leaning on the counter, while Rayleigh was at a table not so far away drinking sake.

"Hey, what do you think of the kid who's been on the news since a few days?" She asked while resting her hands on the table.

"Hmm? Oh, you mean the bounty hunter kid?" Rayleigh took a gulp. "Gah! I'm not sure, but why do you ask? It's strange you are asking me those things, haha."

"Hmm," Shakky stayed silent and looked up. "I mean his wings, what do you think? An effect of Zoan? Maybe a mythical Zoan? Like Hito Hito no mi: Model Angel?"

Hearing Shakky's words Rayleigh laughed. "Nah, I won't go that far. Actually, he gives me Skypiean vibes. Makes me remember the days our crew spent in Skypiea. Ahh… was such a good time."

Shakky just giggled lightly. "Go and visit Skypiea someday if you want."

"Nope, my days are over. My adventure died with Roger dying… hah." Rayleigh sighed lightly but he still had his smile on his face. "Actually, if I think about it, him having an Angel Fruit would be kind of cool. I wanna see King fighting him, haha."

Shakky just looked afar, out of the bar, and smiled. "Well, guess the world might change soon. He's not the only one here, after all, a Fishman named Jinbei became a Shichiibukai. More surprisingly, even a former Celestial Dragon Donquixote Doflamingo became a Shichibukai and took over Dressrosa just this month."

Rayleigh laughed hearing her. "Oh? Things are happening I see. But will the world change this soon? Maybe… but I don't think it will yet. We have to wait at least another 6 years."

Shakky tilted her head in curiosity. "Such a bold guess? Why?"

"Hahaha, Roger's son is 12 now. Wait for a few more years. The world will once again see the Will of D." Rayleigh took a mouthful of sake and laughed out loud, Shakky just sighed.

"Roger's son huh… let's see."

«...★...»

In a marine base a little far from Whiskey Peak, the now Commodore Hina was resting on her chair.

'Boring… Hina is bored.' She never felt like this before, though she was feeling it now. Boredom. Not paying attention to her job.

A few months ago, she got promoted to the rank of a Marine Commodore, yet things didn't feel like before. Things were boring… Amon didn't visit as frequently as before. The last time she met him was 3 months ago, now most hunts are done by his hunters, not him.

"Sigh." Hina released a big sigh and picked up a den den mushi from the table.

Soon she typed a number and called, it was the marine HQ!

It didn't take long for the call to reach after making a 'kacha!' sound.

"Hello, Hina speaking."

["Oh, it's the new Commodore, Black Cage? Yes, this is HQ."]

"Hina will need a break for a few weeks… is that fine?" Hina asked as she rubbed her forehead.

["Huh? You newly got promoted! That's not possible–"]

"Listen you piece of shit!" Hina jumped up and glared at the den den mushi on the table. "Hina needs a break from things."

["..."]

It took Hina two seconds to realize what she did, though she didn't apologize. She simply didn't care.

In the end, she was given a break for 5 weeks, which was a bit too much for a newly appointed Rear Admiral, but they had no other choice since she was too stubborn to listen to them, though her reputation among higher-ups did go down for this.

[Warlord Crocodile]

Unlike the laid back people around the country of Alabasta, its hero Crocodile was having a very infuriated heart. Crocodile has been here for 6 years now, and he had the plan to take over the country soon. He came here after getting beaten by White Beard and has been here ever since, as the Hero of Alabasta.

Though his job has been being handled by another person these days which was partially behind his fury. Though most of the reason was that the newly opened organization of his, the Baroque Works that he created a few months ago isn't getting any recruits nor customers, this way his plans would fail…

Crocodile had decided something by then. "I have to eliminate someone, that guy is the definition of 'Ant grows wings before dying.'"

Crocodile chuckled and walked through the desert.

A/N: This chapter was mostly away from the Sky and moved to things that Amon influenced until now. He is aware of many of them… however, does he know everything?

Well, Time-kun here, will give us answers.

P.S: 1000+ power stones for a bonus chapter.
