BXBX NOVEL Chapter 147 - Loss
Chapter 147
Title: Loss
….
"So… you mean there is a chance that a Mythical Zoan devil fruit based on this myth actually exists?" Raki asked Amon with a face filled with disbelief.
With the morning wind caressing his black hair, Amon nodded.
Until now, Amon talked about the Mythical Creature that he thinks the ancient Shandorians used to worship before the snake – and even the chance of such a being existing in reality in the past.
Raki was pretty shocked, but she didn\'t doubt her brother\'s analyzing capabilities.
"Well…" she scratched her head. "I guess, maybe. But why tell me this I don\'t think I can help you analyze these things even a bit, you should have asked Robin or… Vivi."
Amon didn\'t reply instantly and took a few breaths of time. "I have something to show you. It\'s underground, just follow me."
\'Underground?\'
Amon then jumped from a high point in the sky, falling directly towards the City of Gold.
He plans to reveal the existence of the A.I to the high-rank and trusty people – especially the Birkans and Shandians since he plans to take them to the underground and help them unlock their wings. So it didn\'t matter if Raki was meeting Seraph a few days before everyone.
Fwah!
Amon\'s wings formed out of nowhere as he flew down while grabbing Raki by her collar.
«...★...»
Meanwhile, things weren\'t so peaceful in Amazon Lily.
10 marine ships were surrounding the island – with only a single pirate ship blocking them from invading it.
On one of the marine ships, an old lady was standing in its deck with a mic close to her mouth.
"[Pirate Empress, I repeat, Pirate Empress, surrender yourself now.]" A loud mic voice came from a marine ship and reached all of the islands.
Among the 10 ships that were surrounding the island – Tsuru – one of the strongest Vice Admirals, was standing on the deck of a ship in the middle that was directly floating opposite to the Kuja Pirates\' ship.
She had a mic in her hand and was instructing Hancock to surrender.
"[Pirate Empress Boa Hancock, we have surrounded you from all sides.]"
Through the receiver, Hancock, who was on her own ship\'s deck, stopping the Marines from invading her island, stood there proudly. She was wearing a red dress with a snake dancing behind her.
"Hmm, the marines are finally making a move, I see." Boa Hancock tilted her head and smirked arrogantly. "How disgusting."
Seeing her arrogant composure, the 10 marine ships that only had females in them, trembled.
"B-Beautiful…!" The word \'beautiful\' resounded from all the ships as Tsuru frowned.
It seemed she had underestimated her beauty – no matter male or female, as long as they could see, they would be charmed by her beauty after all. It wasn\'t just a myth, as she really was the most beautiful woman in the whole world.
"I don\'t see any disgusting men either, you lot came prepared." Hancock looked at them with gleaming eyes. \'Hmph, they are underestimating me.\'
Hancock instantly took a pose, she made a heart shape with her hands and pointed them towards the ships. "But if you endanger my Island, I don\'t care if you are men or not! <Mero Mero Mellow>!"
A half-transparent pink heart came out of her palms and rushed towards the ships in front of her. However, that was not the end as more and more hearts started to sprout out of her hand.
!!Pew Pew Pew Pew!!
Instantly, the sea was riddled up with countless pink hearts as the sound of people turning into stones resounded.
Hancock waved her long hair with her hand. "Vice Admiral, if you assumed you can corner me with numbers, more so with females, you have severely underestimated me."
Tsuru took a puff from her cigarette and threw it in the sea. "It does seem you are right." She said while looking at the other ships, people within them had already become stones.
Only her ship was left from getting demolished by Hancock\'s pink heart beam.
However, Hancock didn\'t plan to let this stay a fact for long.
"<Mero Mero Mellow!>"
She again shot her beams, this time targeting the ship Tsuru was in.
«...★...»
Meanwhile, Amon and Raki entered the massive golden architecture in the middle of the city. It was morning, so there weren\'t many eyes on them except for a few guards.
Raki was very intrigued by this situation. \'We are going underground…! Does bro have some kind of the secret base under the city? Oh, how exciting!\'
She was fidgeting while they reached a golden room, Amon\'s bedroom. Other than the shrine on top of Giant Jack, this building was also Amon\'s residence since this held the root of Jack on its roof.
\'This is his bedroom.\' Raki suddenly stopped at the doorway as Amon entered. \'Why is he bringing me to his bedroom all of a sudden? W-wait, could it be...?\'
Raki\'s body trembled as she gulped her saliva. She took a deep breath and raised her hands towards her jacket\'s chain.
"Brother…"
Amon looked behind after hearing her call.
She was slowly taking off her jacket. "Although this is sudden since it\'s you I don\'t mind–"
"Shut up." Amon stopped her midway and walked away.
While Raki froze on her spot, Amon turned around and went towards his closet.
Creak!
After messing with the insides of the closet, it suddenly shook and opened itself in front of Raki and Amon, showing a way to the other side.
With a dejected face, Raki wore her clothes again back and followed behind Amon as he entered the closet.
Creak!
Again, the same sound resounded as the closet closed itself from inside.
Soon after, Amon and Raki were left in a wide hallway.
"Brother… what the hell is this? Why is it so large and big?"
"..." Amon didn\'t answer her and walked forward, without any choice Raki followed him.
Soon after, Amon reached the spot where different buttons were hidden on each side of the wall.
However, before he could press any of the buttons, a click sound entered his ears as his eyes fell on the wall.
Bzzzz
It was the same sound from 8 years ago, the sound of a door opening, a door that has been closed a long time ago.
Bzhhhh!
Smoke came out of the elevator that just opened as a Robotic voice entered both their ears.
[Welcome, Master.]
Amon grinned hearing the voice and crackled up.
"It\'s been a while, Sera. We have many things to catch up on, start the elevator first." Amon said and walked inside the elevator as Raki followed with a dazed look on her face.
Amon slipped his hands in his pocket and touched the glass tube in his pocket, it had the blood of Hiyori in it.
\'It is finally time, huh.\'
«...★...»
[Amazon Lily\'s Outskirts]
!!Pew Pew Pew Pew!!
Hancock\'s beams went ahead towards Trusu\'s ship.
However, the marines in the ship jumped in unison in the air and dodged the beams. Everyone on this ship was an elite, even among the marines, as they were trained by Tsuru herself.
However, Tsuru stood in her spot without moving.
Vhoom!
The beams soon went through her body but she didn\'t turn into stone.
While Hancock\'s eyes grew, she chuckled lightly. "Little girl, I am too old for your beams to take effect on me. I did underestimate you first, but not anymore.\'
Tsuru put pressure on her legs and jumped in the air using Geppo. "I want to finish this job fast."
"<Rokuogan>!"
Tsuru clasped her hands together and released a shockwave through the air.
Boa Hancock covered her hands in armament and slapped the beam away.
"Weak." Saying this, Hancock jumped in the air instantly as Tsuru did the same.
Flying mid-air, she went for a kick in the face of Tsuru.
Bam!
And surprisingly, she was able to hit her right in the face. Tsuru\'s left cheek became stone as Hancock grinned.
"Argh…" Tsuru groaned and almost fell. "I see, just being Immune to your beam isn\'t enough. But you should have watched yourself."
Instantly, Tsuru raised her hand and touched Hancock\'s head lightly.
Hancock\'s eyes grew as she felt her body act strange, and in the next instant, her body started to gobble extremely.
"<Wash-Wash fruit: Flattening Wash!>"
….
Unlike how Amon had predicted the battle to last at least two days, it didn\'t even last 2 hours. He had underestimated Tsuru\'s devil fruit power and overestimated Hancock\'s caution.
