[3 months Later]

–General Pov–

Close to the Angel Island, a pirate ship can be seen coming through the “Heaven’s Gate”.

The ship was flying a jolly-roger with a pirate-hat at the top, along with a blonde wavy mustache.

They were the Jumble Pirates!

….

“YES! We’ve reached Sky Island! All hail Captain Jumble!”

The pirates on the ship were celebrating, finally reaching the mythical sky-island. While the crewmates were celebrating, their captain, the Great Jumble was sitting on a chair. 

He is a short middle-aged man with a blonde mustache similar to Gol. D Roger.  He has a confident smile on his face while looking at his crewmates, as he was drinking wine.

“*Gulp* *Gulp* *Gulp*”

*Bam!*

Drinking the whole bottle in one go, he put it down on the table hard. “Gah… That was good.” Burping, and wiping his lips, he stood up, revealing his short build. 

“HAHAHA!” Then he released a weird laugh. “Who would have thought there is an Island in the sky?! I’m sure even Gold Roger doesn’t know that!” He said as he hit his chest in pride. “King Of the Pirates?! Fuck that! I’m gonna be a God who lives in the Sky! HAHAHA!”

From his words, he proved to be a guy who was too ambitious but didn’t have anything to back them up. Not even his height. 

“Captain!” Suddenly, a crewmate shouted. “I see something strange coming towards us…” He said as he looked ahead of him with binoculars. 

“Huh?!” Jumble groaned. “Here lemme see!” Snatching the binoculars, Jumble also saw the little human figure coming towards them at a great speed, as he aimed his Bazooka towards them. “WHAT?! H-HEY SOMETHING IS STRANGE!” Jumble shouted.

However, before he could react, like enchanting a spell, the seemingly 10 y/o boy shouted. “KAAA MEEE HAAA….” Jumble didn’t know what’s gonna happen, yet his body automatically gulped in fright.

“H-Hey!” He shouted towards his crewmates. “Something is not right, shift the sail!”

They only saw their captain in such a hurry only when something bad was about to happen, so they quickly started to do as he said. However, before they could do so, a blue light blinded their eyes.

“MEEEHAAAAAAA!!!!”

*BOOM!*

With an explosion, Jumble pirates’ ship got wrecked.

….

[A few hours later]

Sha! Sha!

Currently, Amon was riding a shooter and heading towards his hideout in the Upper-yard. He was carrying many kinds of foods on him, along with a very special item he got from the Jumble Pirates. 

Skating in the sea, Amon’s thoughts started to wander. ‘Ignoring the strange name, they were pretty strong. My left arm is even bleeding because of them.’ He thought, looking at his arm, which he already bandaged.

…

Soon he reached the Upper-yard. Then jumping on the earth in front of him he took off his shooters. He liked to enjoy the feeling of soil on his foot sometimes.

After that, walking for a few minutes, while avoiding the occasional patrols of God’s Militia, he finally reached his destination. 

It was a big and old tree, just like most of the trees around. However, except Amon, nobody knew that this was a secret entrance to one of the parts of the buried “City of Gold”. Even the ‘God’, Gan Fall didn’t know, since the ‘Gods’ don’t really care to explore this Giant Upper-yard.

After walking through the hidden entrance for another few minutes, he finally reached the Shining Golden City Of Shandora.

“…” For a few seconds, he just kept looking at the gold. Then holding back his greed, Amon then went inside an ancient golden house.

As a smile bloomed on Amon’s face as he looked around the room. This is the house where he keeps his loots. 

“…Just as I left it.” He felt satisfied seeing all the loot he got from the few pirate ships he wrecked in his life. There was gold, belly, swords, hand-guns, shot-guns, and other blue-sea weaponries, but most importantly, there was his small collection of Sea Prism Stone! 

And the “Special Item” he got from Jumble today, is also a Sea Prism stone. It’s rare for a pirate ship to have them, but Amon was lucky this time. However, it’s pretty small junk, only around 10 grams. Still, along with the previous ones, now he has around 70g of Sea Prism.

Obviously, considering possible emergencies, he also kept a particle of it with him all the time. And since the tribe also has its own sea prism stone collection, Amon didn’t have to worry about anything.

Amon then placed the important things here, while keeping the things that the tribe can use on him. Then Amon got up. “Well, everything’s done.” He said. “Time to do the main job.”

Saying this, Amon went outside of the hideout with many kinds of different dials with him. Today, he didn’t come out for a pirate hunt, in fact, it was just a lucky encounter. His main job was here, the Upper-yard. He needed to prepare this as a battlefield, HIS battlefield.

Soon after, avoiding the Militias, Amon placed many different variants of [Special-Diald] rounding a formation like thingy of 500m radius.

His current position in Upper-yard was very familiar to Amon, in fact, he even knew the native creature around 3kilometers from here.

Amon needed to prepare for everything, so he was doing it now. In the soon to come battle with God’s Militia, there would be many casualties on both sides, however, losing one Shandia would be a massive loss to Amon. 

He needed a perfect plan… Amon knew a good plans’ enemy is a Perfect plan, but luckily in a place like the Upper-yard, and almost unlimited time to prepare for the eventual battle, Amon had a 100% chance to create a “Perfect Plan”.

He just needed to change the battlefield according to his wishes.

«…*…»

During the last three months, everyone was training diligently, and even Raki was working hard. Though she couldn’t match up with the others, she didn’t give up. 

Many of the males looked a little dissatisfied at this. A woman was supposed to be in the kitchen, not on the battlefield. This type of training was of no use! 

Raki was fully aware of their thoughts too, however, she tried her best to ignore them. After all, from what she knew her mother was a raider too. So she didn’t mind how people see her, if she gets strong enough to protect her big brother, then she would be happy….

….

[A few days later| Dawn Time]

Currently, everyone in the tribe was training hard.

Small training like 100 push-ups for kids. While boulder training for strong tribesmen. And the people who were too strong for these to help their physique, they were training with swords/spears or having duels between themselves. 

However, most didn’t want to train with passive weapons like swords and spear, so the ones who were dissatisfied with being ordered to learn those weapons were given the choice to do other training instead.

Anyway, with the Kids, there were Raki and Wyper. 

At first, when these training were assigned, Wyper’s training was just 5x of Saitama training. However, now he has grown strong enough to take a 100kg boulder on his back and do push-ups.

On the other hand, Raki was just there. Doing 2x Saitama training. She thought, soon she would also grow to be like Wyper, however, there was not much improvement in her strength.

Yet, clenching her teeth, she just did her best to surpass her limit…

…..

Currently, it was around sun-set as everyone was gone. Only Raki and Wyper left behind. Wyper was doing pushups with a 110kg boulder on top of his back, as finally gave up.

On the other hand, Raki was just there laying on the ground under a tree. This was one of the few rare trees that grow even on artificial-island-cloud. She was breathing heavily while staring at the clouds above her. 

She just finished and even surpassed her workout limits today. Here is how she was different from others, as although she couldn’t keep up with others, she at least worked hard. 

On the other side, finishing his training, Wyper then started to walk towards his hut, which he inherited after Viper’s death. 

“…” But, stopping at Raki’s side, he looked down at her. “Hey, girl. ” He said, “It’s already eve, get up and go to your house.”

Raki didn’t answer, as Wyper just walked away ignoring her. After a while, she smiled. “Even Wyper is changing under brother….” She said. “Hehe, now that everyone’s gone, I will train with the swords…”

In reality, Raki was waiting for everyone to finish their training, in the first place. She thought that body training wasn’t just for her. Then maybe, just maybe, she can use swords and prove to be useful to Brother!

“Well,” Raki smiled. “It doesn’t hurt to try…”

Soon after, she got up and picked up a sword laying around. Do note, swords are seen as a useless weapon in Sky, so except for a few certain individuals no one uses them.

*Sha!* *Sha!*

Surprisingly, her sword swings aren’t bad for a newbie, as she was swinging it with all her vigor.

Soon, she started to find fun in using the sword. As time started to flow, an hour, two hours, three hours, and without her realizing the midnight was here.

Now, Raki had sleepy and almost closed eyes, yet she was swinging the sword. She will most likely get hurt at this rate.

“Uh… I need to sleep…” Raki barely said, while swinging. “For now…” Sleepy, she didn’t even realize that she was swinging a sword. As the sword fell from her hand on the floor, while she also started to fall towards it. The pointy end towards her face.

It was definite that she would die if she falls now. 

As right at that moment, as if God-sent, a hand caught her limp body and lightly put her on his shoulders.

Soon, without saying anything he took her to his room. 

….

“Sleep is important.”, Amon said.
