Chapter 41

….

“Put your legs down, or Hina will throw you in jail,” Hina said as she lightly sat down on her chair.

With a soft smile on his face, Amon did as she demanded while still eating ice cream using a spoon. ‘Meh, throw me in jail? Bitch, you are lucky I’m not controlling the world yet, you’d have already been under many now…’

Though of course, he didn’t say it out loud and maintained a soft smile.

“You are too professional and serious, Hina-chan.” Amon smiled sweetly. “But that is what Amon loves about you,” He said and leaned back.

Hina frowned hearing him, especially how he referred to himself. ‘Is he mocking Hina?’ She asked herself, however, she didn’t try to retort. 

Soon, Hina lit a cigarette. “…I saw the large bag outside. So you hunted the Sakaki pirates this time…” She said as she picked up a bounty poster of Captain Sakki who was killed a while ago by Amon.

“Sigh…” She released an involuntary sigh as she looked at Amon’s face. 

‘Just look at him, look how he’s eating ice cream… He doesn’t seem like a person who just ruthlessly killed 80 people an hour ago. Sigh, this is the truth of this world, huh.’ Hina soon shook her head and pulled herself back. This was none of her business, in the end, she was just an average marine.

As Amon sensed her emotions, he chuckled making Hina confused. He remembered the day of his first kill. It was back when he was only 6 years old and had gone to the upper yard for the first time. In excitement and nervousness, he was spotted by a Militia. Without any choice, he had to kill him, which he did very silently and ruthlessly. Though after doing so, he vomited for hours and was unable to eat for a day or two. Yet, at this point, killing doesn’t affect him at all. 

‘Humans are adaptive creatures after all…’ It has been a long time since the guy who reincarnated in a fictional world has grown up.

“Hina is sorry.” Hina’s calm tone brought him back to reality. “You have to wait for around an hour as the bounty is big this time, and we also have to check the proofs.” She said as Amon waved his hands. 

“No problem, this is my favorite part of coming to this marine base. Spending time with my cute Hina-chan.” Amon said as he leaned his chin on his hands, though his internal thoughts were quite different. ‘Fucking boring… At least she shows some reactions now and then.’

….

A few minutes passed, as Amon was eating his 3rd box of ice cream. He opened his mouth with food inside. “Hwy, Hina-chan, you shouldn’t act so cold with me. *Gulp*”

“Finish your food…” Hina said lightly, as she had her eyes closed, and was leaning on the back of her chair with a cigarette in her mouth. 

“Mmm…” Amon licked his lips. “After all, we both started our journey 6 months ago, though the job is different. Yet, this proves how we were born to be with each other,” Amon said. “Like the first day when I came after hunting some pirates, you were the newly chosen captain who just finished her training. It’s as if God has prepared this even before the universe was created…. Or maybe, the universe was only created for both of us!” Amon leaned forward. “Let’s get married.”

Hina wanted to get up and punch him in the face, but she just sighed. She didn’t mind getting confessed, as it was quite typical to her. This is the reason why her anime counterpart never punished the mobs who confessed and disturbed her.

Without getting the reaction he was hoping for, Amon clicked his tongue internally, and came up with a new idea…

“…Oh, also I was thinking, maybe I should be a pirate,” He said and leaned back on the chair with the ice cream down. “I mean, since I’m getting this much just from bounty hunting, then being a pirate–”

Before he could finish his line, Hina got up abruptly and pulled him by his collars. 

“If you ever become a pirate, I will be the first to hunt you down,” Hina said with a visible glare in her eyes.

“…” Amon didn’t react, instead he slowly slipped his finger around his lips as it whipped a bit of the ice cream. “Well,” His playful voice was now gone, and a serious one took over. “If you say it like that, I might do it just to get caught by you, I don’t mind being chased by you for my whole life, until the day I die,” Amon said in a strange voice, as he wiped his finger around Hina’s lips as a barely visible blush made her cheeks rosy.

She soon let him go, as Amon was laughing heavily in his mind.

“Hina hates you,” Hina whispered though she assumed Amon didn’t hear. “…If I had enough proof that you are the one who killed those bounty hunters 4 months ago, I would have already put you in jail.”

Amon just smiled softly at her.

«…*…»

Soon after, Amon received his 469 million bellies and returned to his temporary base, the Whiskey Peak.

“Hey, look, leader Lucifer is back!”

The bounty hunters around exclaimed as some of them bowed. After last time’s incident, the few survivors started to follow Amon as their leader out of pure fear and now respect. Currently, they knew better to go after a 25 million head to care about their life, also they were getting more moments than before anyway.

Amon ignored them and walked towards the biggest building in the middle of the city, the Mayor’s Hall. 

‘Is this a coincidence that I’m a Mayor in both this place and Skypiea…?’ He thought while looking at the building.

Soon, he entered it and found Cricket about to go outside. 

“Oh, Crimson, you are already back?” Cricket asked as he patted his shoulder.

“Yes, the Marine Captain was fast as always,” Amon said as he raised the bag with money. He asked Cricket to call him ‘Crimson’ from now on, even if nobody’s around. Just having a double name can help a lot in things, since nobody really knows his real name other than Cricket here. 

“Oh, by the way, just call me ‘Lucifer’ from now on,” Amon said as Cricket laughed.

“Haha, a new title?” Cricket laughed lightly. “Anyway, I will go check on the newbies, alright? I will come back in an hour to give the information on what happened today. ”

Amon just nodded as Cricket left. Amon is creating an organization similar to Baroque Works, though it will be known as a Bounty hunting organization for now.

Cricket is the one who manages most things, though Amon seizes an explanation on each and every one of his moves, but he does the main things himself. There is also no way of Cricket lying with Amon’s Observation Haki.

Still, there is a reason why he is trusting Cricket so much though.

The first reason being, Cricket is a guy who is searching for a new adventure, and now that he found it with Amon, he won’t just betray Amon without any world-breaking reason. Yes, that’s because this is One Piece. One Piece, the world where a guy who met another guy a day ago, won’t think twice to die for him. 

Here, humans are dumber, or if one had to call it respectively, they are more emotional, too emotional actually. Luckily, one of Amon’s main points is his knowledge of how to use a person’s emotions for himself. 

Then, the 2nd and most important reason is their ancestral connection… That’s pretty much pure bullshit in Amon’s previous world, however, again, In this world, it is completely normal. 

Amon is using his meta knowledge at its best, not only the things that will happen in the canon, even the people’s characteristics will be used.

….

Soon, he entered the building and went to a hidden room with the size of 4/10 of a football field. This is a room which was used for… many things by the previous Mayor, the skinny guy with a deep voice.

Though Amon modified it using dials so that only he could enter the room safely after doing some tests. Proving how Amon’s knowledge of dial was increasing even in this blue sea…

Amon then went to a corner of the room, where three treasure chests were kept. They look exactly the same, however, 2 of them were traps with normal fruits inside of them.

If someone gets greedy and touches the wrong chest, they will immediately get electrified and attacked by various kinds of dials hidden around the room. However, even if the person touches the real chest, they would still get electrified, albeit no other attacks would be made. Yet, thinking they chose the wrong chest, they will touch the other one and then will get attacked for sure… This doesn’t affect Amon, as he’s been training his body for years now to go against a possible ‘Thunder God’.

Even with Observation Haki, one won’t be able to tell apart the chest and recognize which is the right one. Only people with a very high level of Observation Haki, who can sense a little bit of the future(Not necessarily like Katakuri), would be able to discern. But in that case, it will still send an alarm to Amon’s dial, as the chest’s keyhole is messed up and its only key is… his wings. 

Amon didn’t want to be on the loose end ever again. That’s the reason why he’s taking this type of precautions, though he would add more security to it today. As this was his devil fruit stash.

Soon, he put the two devil fruit that he got from the Pirates in the stash, making a total of 4 fruits. He did hunt many pirates with devil fruits, but since they were useless, he sold them for belly to the marines.

Hair-Hair fruit, Needle-Needle fruit which was there from before. And the new two, Steam-Steam fruit, and Blanket-Blanket fruit. 

«…*…»

[A few days later]

*Bam!* 

*Bam!*

In the sea, Amon was deep underwater, fighting against sea kings. His wings were covered in plastic paper and also he applied a gel which reflects water to a 100% extent.

“*GAAAUUR!!*”

A Sea King dashed towards him as he prepared a punch. Under the water, his fist shined slightly as he punched towards the Sea king.

*Bam!*

It hit the sea king, in the head, as it was thrown far back. Yet, it returned after not so long.

Their fight escalated, with Amon coming out the winner.

«…*…»

[Days Later]

Amon was in the same secret room, albeit this time, the room was filled with 4 types of specific fruits.

This time, he also wasn’t alone, as he had a small octopus with him, locked in a glass container. 

There was also a man tied by many straps, ropes, sharp strings, and electric wires a bit behind him. He was struggling to get out, however,  only hurt his body by doing so. His skin was getting cut by the strings and was getting shocked constantly because of his struggle.

He was kept inside a glass coffin even though he was alive.

Amon glanced at the man while he lost consciousness and went to sleep. 

Then he put the container on the table and walked to the three chests. He took out the ‘Needle-Needle’ and ‘Blanket-Blanket’ fruit and walked back to the octopus. The octopus, who was clinging to the glass as Amon knocked on it and fell down. 

Currently, Amon didn’t have any particular emotions other than boredom on his face. Currently, he is checking the famous theory of Black Beard eating two devil fruits. The theory of him having more than one heart, the theory that a Devil Fruit occupies the heart of the consumer.

‘There are many flaws in it. Since if so, then how did the non-living creatures who ate the Zoan devil fruits did it?’ Amon thought as he played with the Octopus from outside. “Those mechanisms don’t have a heart…” He said as he saw to Octopus trying to reach him from inside the glass.

“Well, I don’t know. That’s why I’m here with you, little Oct.” Amon said to the octopus while he started to cut the orange devil fruit of blanket into pieces. “An Octopus has multiple hearts, after all.”

A/N: Amon has been acting flirtatious with people he should act like that with. (Ex. Hina.) We can see he is getting good at what he’s doing… at least for a person who never had much intercourses with his manipulation skills and a female in his previous life. (since he avoided them himself).

Also, we see he’s not just flitting around, he is also training his haki(which he unlocked very… strangely) and also keeping up with his experiments.

Oh, btw, no romantic feelings from Mc’s side ever ?.
