One Piece: Reborn as a Skypiean

Chapter 55

Title: Hot Tub!

….

–Seraph the AI Pov–

Currently, I'm inside my 'mind' space while playing the clip I got a few hours ago.

["Fire Fist!"]

It was the clip of the fight that happened on the surface of the island. After processing the first clip that I captured from thousands of cameras underground, I finally got the finished clip I wanted and have been reviewing it for hours now…

In the small clip of 39 seconds, the current Master, Amon mostly stayed passive, while he attacked from the air with wind slashes and his feathers. Since Wyper was getting out of control with his new powers, he performed that strange attack as the last blow. 

Wyper should be in the infirmary now...

It also seems he unlocked Haki huh… It's good for both of us I guess. He also got the Flame-Flame fruit, which is a very powerful fruit, at least among Logias. Though I expected him to have a Logia such as that for himself, or at least give it to his sister. But I guess he doesn't have enough knowledge in these things, he is a frog in the well after all.

The thing that interests me most is the attack he defeated Wyper with. I never saw it before, and before leaving the Sky I'm sure he didn't know the technique. So I can presume he learned it by himself or someone taught him that in the blue sea. I'm curious what he did in the blue sea these 2 years. He has Haki, but that was pretty normal 800 years ago at the time of that war.

Speaking of 800 years ago, I suddenly miss my masters. But they are already dead, so I can do nothing at this point.

I 'glance' at the coffin hidden deep inside the hall. That's the body of the King, the body that might get to see the light of the world one day again. After all, it's definitely possible to bring people from the afterlife since something like the Revive-Revive fruit exists{Brook's fruit}. If I can find a way to make a dead person eat it, then he will probably come back to life, right?

However… I was forbidden from even trying to do so. They don't want to come back, they died honorably. Though I don't really know what the word 'honorable' means, I think it's a good thing as even being human, they were satisfied with that small life… 

Sigh, speaking of orders and duties… I suddenly remember that time. My Queen ordered one last thing before she left to fight the World Government to never return. 

"???? ??? ??? ???. ????? ??? ???????, ?????? ??? ????????."

I vividly remember her smile when she said those words and went to fight those monsters… 

Ugh, even though I refer to them as 'monsters' I don't know what they did other than that they killed people and were supposed to be dangerous. In fact, I don't even remember why I was ordered to wait for that guy… Master deleted all the data of that time within me. Why? Did I do something wrong back then… Did I betray them perhaps?!... A-Anyway, I can't let that kid Amon know about my ignorance… Fuuh.

Speaking of him, since I'm not sure what she meant back then, I should use the kid for now and wait until Joy Boy arrives. My Master didn't give me any point in working on my decision… I'm merely an Artificial Intelligence, how can I ever decide for myself?! Then… after meeting Joy Boy, should I choose him as my new Master? 

Hmm, maybe I should give ???? fruit to him too… I don't know yet, I will wait. I will ask Joy Boy myself what I should do… he should probably know if my Master is trusting him this much. 

*Zzzzzmm!*

Suddenly, the door of the hall opened as the kid walked in… Calling him a kid, he looks like a grown-up teen now. Before anything can happen, I should use the information I was able to [Recover] after the wiper. Lady Toki was sent… according to the small information of that so-called prophecy, Joy Boy will arrive around the time Lady Toki will arrive… Though I'm not sure what the 'around' means, is it before her arrival, or after?

I decided to ignore these thoughts for now, and 'looked' ahead.

[Welcome home, Master]

As I say this, I notice his eyes grow for a split second and his mouth twitch, I can ascertain he just suppressed a smirk. Why? 

…..

–General Pov–

'Oh, would you look at that? I can sense her emotions… Or at least something close to the word emotion.' Amon thought while suppressing his grin. 'But it's hardly recognizable… like I can't even tell what she's feeling, just that she's feeling(?) something. Damn, bitch. A few more years or maybe months, or maybe days, then I will see everything inside you.' Amon shook his head and looked at a random camera.

"What's up Slu–Sera. Did you miss me?" He said while waving his hand.

[Though I don't know what the 'miss' emotion feels like, It's good to see you back, Master.]

"..."

Amon just walked forward silently and sat on the computer chair. Just a while ago, his fight with Wyper made him a little exhausted since he used [Rokuogan], the technique where the user releases all their physical strength through a shockwave. This is only accessible by a person who has mastery over the other six powers. 

Amon ignored these thoughts and called out to sera. "Sera, prepare a hot bath…" Amon said while resting his back on the comfy chair. "Make the water around 110° Celsius." 

[Alright.]

Soon, the hot-spring came out and the water started to boil not soon after.

[By the way, the temperature will burn your skin.] 

She said as Amon laughed. Just now, he almost got roasted by Wyper's fire. The Mera Mera's fire ability was too strong after all, as even Jinbei with his level of Haki lost his ground to Ace's fire. 

Though Amon did beat Wyper this time around, his fire did scratch him a little. It was enough to form a little burn mark, though he healed it using Seimei Kikan already since it was very small.

"I know, that's why I'm training my body so that I can survive boiling water, haha. What if someone locked me inside a water pool and started to boil me alive?" Though the actual reason was different, he didn't mind using it for his advance to make the AI confused and curious. 

[Why?] After a few seconds passed the AI lost to her curiosity since his tone did contain hidden meaning in them. [Why? Did something similar happen in the blue sea?] 

"Yes, it did happen. Your Lady Toki came to Wano and married a guy named Oden. He was killed by being boiled. Funny, isn't it?" Amon said as he walked close to the smoking hot water. "Owwoo hot…" Taking a step back, Amon looked at a camera. "It was very hard to obtain such information though, so be grateful." 

While the AI stayed silent, Amon glanced at the smoking water. This wasn't his first time, and he did train like this before, that's why he is confident enough to not die at 110° Celsius boiling water. 

[Do you have the proof of Lady Toki's arrival?]

The AI asked as Amon could sense something like curiosity hidden within. 

"Nah, wait some more. What's the hurry?" Chuckling internally, Amon answered as Seraph stayed silent? 

"Anyway, ignore those useless thoughts. Wano isn't vanishing. from the world, is it?" Amon said and breathed hard. "Now, let's see how hot my body can take."

*Drip…*

Starting from his toes, he slowly emerged in the water while his face remained straight.

"Fuuh…"

….

Time passed as Amon was resting inside the hot water, his body red, and him still acting as if nothing happened. 

"Now I'm used to it…" He said to himself and looked up. "Gurl, tell me what did you find from the devil fruit I left?" Amon asked with his eyes closed.

[I didn't find much.] Seraph replied instantly. [Mostly because of its complex structure… Such a complex structure shouldn't be naturally possible.]

Among perked up his ears. He did believe that devil fruits were made by humans of the past. Or if one had to think out of the box, maybe an advanced civilization from the future had sent the fruits to the past.

[According to my theory, it seems the devil fruit, in the initial part, was made by humans. However, at that time, I was on the moon so I don't have any knowledge.]

Amon said. "Hmm… Alright, explain more. What do you mean by 'initially'?"

[By that, I mean, even though I did say it's not supposed to be natural, as of currently, it's not an 'unnatural' thing either.]

Amon frowned slightly.

[For example, suppose a pregnant woman was injected with special medicine which made the child inside her develop very long arms. After that, when the child is born, he will be an 'unnatural' case with longer than normal arms. However, thousands of years later when the long arm guy's descendants are born, if they are born with long arms, even if their parents were not, it won't be considered unnatural, at least not scientifically.]

"Hmm…" It took a few seconds for Amon to fully grasp her words, as he nodded. 'So the devil fruit reincarnation made them a part of the Natural Force?' Amon thought. 'Or that's what I'm guessing.'

Among started to think on this, while the AI helped him shower with the robotic tentacles. 

"Yawn…" Soon Amon yawned. "That's all you got about devil fruits? It's been 2 years…" Amon said lightly.

[Don't talk like that, it was your fault for leaving only 1 devil fruit. Beep! Look here–]

The next moment, the screen of the computer played a video.

[Boom!]

In the clip, the Claw-Claw fruit popped up while a laser type light was pointed at it.

[This happened only a few months after you left. Don't blame me. It's not like I can test on the remaining devil fruit since they turned normal.]

Amon just sighed….

"Alright, I won't blame you. Increase the heat of the water."

*Boiling sound*

«...★...»

A few days passed, and things were going according to Amon. He was getting news from Duy now and then who was in Birka with a few other people.

Nothing interesting happened so far, though it seems something will. The Arch Priestess wants to meet Amon after learning of his arrival. She immediately wanted to come to Skypiea again, though Amon informed her not to do so.

This time, they will go there as respectable guests.

….

On the blue seaside, Robin was getting lonely even though she was having conversations with Amon now and then.

Though this didn't affect her work hour, and she was still doing things at the speed she usually does. She also got some pirate reaching her out to meet Amon, though she did reject them all. With his current popularity, it wasn't that strange that people were trying to make the Bounty hunter into a criminal and have him under them. He also had a pretty good force under him.

While small-time pirates were scared of the name 'Lucifer' even in the absence of the said person, the stronger ones were waiting to beat his ass. While the monster ones didn't give it much heed, except a few heed.

….

Dragon, The Revolutionary

"Lucifer, huh. And those wings, he's a Birkan?"

"Well, maybe I should send someone in the Sky soon."

Monkey. D Dragon? Revolutionary army's interference?!

…..

Donquixote Doflamingo 

"Generation's most famous bounty hunter? Kukuku, I should talk with him sometimes along the line."

The Heavenly Demon said with a laugh. The Satan picked the attention of the Heavenly Demon?

….

Dracule Mihawk

"Wing Sword Style?... Interesting. Been a long time since I felt like this…"

"Let's see if he can live up to my expectations or not." 

Mumbled Hawkeye Mihawk while roaming the sea in his small boat.

The world was aware of the small fry now, however, would he still be a small fry the next time he comes out of the sky?

Only time shall tell.

****

A/N: Unlike how people overestimated her, in reality, the AI doesn't know shit(just a little) as her memory of that time was wiped. Truthfully, if I was in the Shandorians' shoes, I would have done the same. After all, they were scared of the possibility of someone on the outside finding it and getting the information, or rather, the AI revealing it to them herself, because–!!! Yeaaawn, I suddenly feel sleepy~
