One Piece: Reborn as a Skypiean

Chapter 39 - Everything Is According To...

Chapter 39(Bonus ??)

….

[A few minutes later]

"Paying 10 billion extols just to meet this God…" A voice as calm as sea current said. "Don't you think it's a little too much, Arch-Bishop? Not only that, you don't even tell us why you want to meet this God." It was Enel, who had no connection in behavior with his anime counterpart.

Currently, they were being taken to the Upper-yard using an auto-boat on the Milky-road. 

Just a few minutes ago, they had paid 10 Billion Extols(1Billion belly) to get a  coupon that can be used for meeting the God legally, though Koin forgot to mention that Amon wasn't present in nervousness.

"Calm down, high-priest Enel." A feminine voice calmer than his answer. "Let's not forget I'm the Arch-Priestess here, not you." 

"..." Enel just stayed silent with a smile, as if he didn't mind her words.

Though his internal state couldn't be said to be the same. 'ARRGH! WHY! Why did that idiotic old bastard choose this little girl as the Arch-Priestess?! Why not me!' His hands shook a little, as he thought of choking the girl from behind. But he quickly disposed of these thoughts. 'Let's calm down… she will definitely notice with her level of Mantra.'

4 months ago, the highest rank of the priest in Birka, the Arch-Priest, passed away. But before passing away, the old man had chosen a 17 years old little girl as the next Arch-Priestess, where Enel, someone who's been a priest as a whole for 20 years, and a high-priest for 9 years wasn't chosen. 

Enel silently gritted his teeth. 'That old fucker… he adopted me when I killed my fucking parents and made me a priest. I lived as he wished for 20 years… and now he did this. Ugh, I should have killed him myself!' While he was thinking this, the outside people just saw the calm smile on his face.

Enel is a man who was abused by his parents in his childhood. It was ironic how people like that existed even in such a religious race, however, they do exist as Enel is a perfect example of that. This is where his hate for God and ambition of becoming one himself was born. 

As he remembered about this, his thoughts again got lost. 'That fruit… I hate that. My bastard parents only did what they did because I once said how that fruit might taste like… I was a fucking kid dammit!' Enel's parents were very religious, so when they heard something like that about their God spoken by their son, they obviously took their God's side and punished him severely… That punishment wasn't a one-time thing though.

'One day I will eat it whole. The seed of the Thunder God's tree? I will show you, God! I will eat that thing and make you pay for my past days!' Enel thought as he felt his breathing get heavy. 

However, soon he calmed down. 'However, only the Arch-Priest can enter the church room that holds the fruit. It is also kept inside a special type of locker that can only be opened by that sword on her hand…' Enel thought as he looked down at the Arch-Priestess' hand equipping a golden sword. 'I will kill her someday and take that fruit…. Hahaha! Someday!'

While he was thinking this, Yona, the Arch-Bishop, was able to sense his thoughts to some extent. She was… very nervous and scared. She never thought she would be chosen as the next Arch-Priestess, and when she was chosen, she found out how her life is in danger. '...Let's calm down. Human thoughts will change one day… Priest Enel will also learn to control himself.'

….

Soon after, the 6 Birkans reached the upper-yard's right eye, the City of Gold which was 70% fixed, and people were still working on it even at this moment...

This was like a heavenly sight to the priests, as they had their mouths agape.

"Is… this the kingdom of God?" Yona asked herself as she had wide-open eyes that reflected the shiny city of gold.

Likewise, all the priests were surprised, however, Enel was the one most affected.

Looking at the glowing city ahead of him, his face had a shuttering smile. 'S-So beautiful….' Enel's heart was beating faster than ever. 'What is this material? This is mine! I WANT thi-'

*Ssslt!*

"!!!"

Suddenly, he felt a sword's tip touching his throat. 

"Priest Enel, you are letting greed take over you." It was Yona, the Arch-Priestess who had unsheathed her sword and held it near Enel's throat. "Let's not forget we are here as honorable guests. I would have punished you severely if this was Birka!"

*Clap! Clap!* "!!"

Suddenly, they heard clapping sounds from a bit higher than their position.

"My, my. You guys are impressive. An internal conflict? Oh well, good for you, I guess." It was a little girl with long black hair, who jumped from the middle of Giant jack after finishing this line. 

*Thud!* A small crater was created in the ground.

"Showing those kinds of emotions towards our home? You'd have already died if the red-head hadn't stopped you, long-eared monkey bastard." It was Raki who said towards Enel.

She had her hand on her sword as her eyes glimmered for seconds.

"!!!!" All of the Birkans were surprised and took a step back as they felt her emotions with their Mantra. Especially Enel, who almost peed his pants.

«...*...»

Soon after, Duy arrived there after feeling the clash of emotions with his own Mantra. Currently, he had the most advanced Observation Haki after Amon. 

Seeing the priests, especially Yona, he quickly went for a hug.

"Hahaha! I never thought you would visit us, little girl!" Duy said as he patted the Arch-Priestess' back. He was quite familiar with her, as he spent around half a year in Birka before. From there, he knew the girl was as pure as a cherry blossom who helped them a ton. "Ignore Raki, she is kind of messed up in the head when Amon's not around. You can talk with me." Duy said as he cancelled the hug.

"HEY!" "H-hey!"

Enel and Raki shouted at the same time. Though their reasons were quite different. Raki frowned and looked at Enel, while he was looking at Duy with anger-filled eyes.

He was humiliated by a little girl just now… He the high-priest! Though the little girl is also seemingly someone of the same status as the position of high-priest, in the end, it was a little girl! And now, this goofy looking man...

"You are touching the Arch-Priestess." He said calmly, with his eyes forming a glare. He was a little scared by the girl, but he knew she was weak with his mantra. 'Bunch of idiots! How dare they!'

It was then when Duy noticed the other priests had already prepared for battle. Though Enel was dissatisfied with Yona becoming the Arch-Priestess, he still didn't want some random weirdo to be disrespectful to her, and also use this opportunity to humiliate the Mortals in front of him.

"Do you realize how disrespect-!!!!" 

*SHA!*

His words were cut short, as a spear scratched his cheeks and went past by. He was able to evade it at the last moment. *Gulp*

"Wow, you didn't die." It was Wyper who was around 400 meters far from them. 

*Fwoosh!* 

And the next second, he came in front of them, seemingly using [Soru]. He copied this technique from Amon, as he had seen it being utilized thousands of times before. As someone who calls himself Amon's rival even after he became God, he never lazes off. Though his technique is technically the same, he likes to call it[Heavenly Step]!

Wyper looked at Enel, who was double his size in the eyes with a smirk. "Heh, do you think you six are strong enough to go against us? Just who do you think we are? HAHAHA!"

"YOU-"

"ENEL!"

Enel was about to attack, but he was stopped by Yona's call. 

'Bitch… I was doing this for you.' Enel glared at her with his veins pronounced, but it soon disappeared.

"I…" He closed his eyes and took a breath in. "I'm sorry for acting like this, Arch-Bishop." Enel bowed lightly, as the other priests did the same. 

….

Soon after Duy also apologized as he didn't realize his mistake before. Both parties calmed down, though they could still feel the emotions in each other's hearts.

Now, Duy was sitting at a table opposite Yona, while Wyper and Raki were behind him, with the priests standing behind the red-head. There were also many Shandians and new God's Militia glancing at them for fear, still working and fixing the ruins. 

"So, ignoring the previous act, let's talk about what you came here for," Duy said like a professional. Since the chief is stationed on Heaven's Gate, Duy is the one who manages most things in Amon's absence. 

"We came here to-" Enel opened his mouth, but Yona touched his hand indicating him to stop.

"I apologize again," Yona said. "Actually, we came here to meet upper-yard's God. It's because of the news we got about his… wings." She said as Wyper frowned, but Raki smirked internally, she was already let know of some small details by Amon.

"Oh, that. Yes, I guess it's a thing to pick the curiosity of the Birkans… When I was there, I did hear about the legend." Duy replied. "However, don't you guys know that Am-err, God left for the Blue sea 6 months ago?"

"..." As he said this, Yona blinked and looked at the other's face. Soon her expression froze and her eyes shook. "Ah, w-we weren't informed about this…" She said as her voice got shaky and nervous. "Y-you see, the news is really slow in the Sky, and since the God rarely comes out… So… we…" She involuntarily looked down at the ground. 

"...Sorry guys." 

Yona's hands were shaking while Enel looked at her with a glare. "You didn't even ask the people outside! You wasted 10 billion xtols! This is simply blasphemous!"

Her body shook hearing his words, as nervousness took over her heart. 'I was… too nervous and excited… Also, who would have ever thought a winged person would leave for the blue sea?' She thought.

Raki could notice small droplets of tears forming in her eyes. Yona has been acting as an Arch-Priestess for only 2 months, she was still 17 years old… She always was unsure of doing things, yet she presents a confident outlook to not dissatisfy her subordinates. Now everything is a mess. '10 billion is a lot… If I achieved what I came for, that money would not have wasted even a bit. B-but that person isn't even here.'

As she was getting nervous, the other priests were looking at her disappointedly, especially Enel glaring at her back. While Duy, Wyper, and Raki just looked at each other.

"Um," Duy caught their attention. "Since you already used the money we won't be able to give them back, as even you should know it's a bad omen." He said as the priests stayed silent. It was a famous belief in the sky, even in Birka and Shandia, asking for something that you gave not long ago is a bad omen that will harm both sides.

Looking at them, Duy decided to propose his offer. "How about this, since Arch-Priestess, Yona, helped us a lot in our journey in Birka, and most importantly, since you guys are respectable guests, I will make it so next time you won't have to pay. How does that sound?" 

Both Raki and Wyper frowned upon hearing him. However, they decided to let it go. They already scammed many others like this, so they can let it go once. Mostly because it might hurt their reputation if they do the opposite, as the Birkans are a strong and influential force.

"No!" Enel interrupted, he had enough of the games of this little girl. "We need them back now, we don't care about you guys' bad omen. Our people also need the money."

As he was trash-talking, Raki slowly started to unsheath her sword, but Duy stopped her. "Stop Raki…"

However, it was too late as one of the Priests, Satori, had dashed towards Wyper. "Hash!" Though Wyper didn't care, as he also prepared for battle. 

A small fight broke out, as both parties were able to stop each other at last. Yona apologized and accepted the offer, then left with the others.

Finally, both parties were calm as they returned to their base.

«…*...»

["And then, they left after a small clash. Oh, oh, I also injured the Enel guy's arms. If I wanted I would have cut his arms!"] 

Amon was hearing a recording sent by Raki on his [Tone Dial], with the dial close to his ears as it was hard to hear because of the sea currents around him.

["The red-head was nice to Duy… Also a little cute. Anyway, seeing that idiot Wyper almost revealed that you will return 2 years later. I stopped him as they might use your absence as a fact and attack us… I told them you might return anytime, but you will definitely return before the 2-year mark."]

Amon smiled as he heard this. 'Good, she's getting smarter.'

["E-eh! The recorder time is up! Alright, bye, brother." Beep!]

'...Maybe not.'

The long-ranged [Tone Dial] had sent Raki's recording to Amon who was in the blue sea. The range of [Tone Dial] wasn't good enough for it to work as a Telephone from this far, though luckily it can be used as a recorder still. The Skypiean engineers and Bob are working on creating a tower above the Giant Jack that will make it possible soon enough...

Every day, Raki sends a few words on what happened that day. And today, she had sent the important things that happened which was so long that even the record time had expired.

Amon smiled as he stopped the Dial. He had already foreseen this before. He also knew Enel was a high-priest currently as the Shandian spies had gathered detailed information on Birka already. Amon, in fact, had a 110% guess on why the girl was here.

'However, things might change after Enel saw the shiny city. Hmm, but even in that case, there is 0 chance of him getting the fruit before 1515. (this is 1512). After all, I have everything planned. I know everything about Birka, even the time Enel goes to sleep. I know it all, its a matter of hours to calculate such a minor thing. Anyway, I should supply more rubber suits in the sky.' Amon considered sending rubber and rubber suits with the help of knock-up streams. He has done it before, and the products also reached the sky as confirmed by Chief.

*Fhhx!*

Soon, a picture came out of his [Portable Fax Dial] as he intensely looked at it. Besides the 4 priests and Enel, who had his wings still, Amon saw Yona, the red-haired Archpriest. This picture was taken when the meeting was going on.

"Hmm, I should take more precautions. But the girl's arrival was part of the plan too." Amon said as he put the dials and photo in a small bag on his side. 

Then cracking his neck, he looked down in the sea and smirked.

"Time to hunt more pirates." 

Currently, he is flying over the sea. Flying over a Pirate ship. 

"I heard they have a bounty of  469 million in total." Licking his lips, Amon launched down.

*Fwooh!*

A/N: Amon has all things planned and ALL the knowledge about Birka. Even the past through AI. Underestimating his knowledge isn't a good sign for anyone, let alone a trash boss like Enel.
