One Piece: Reborn as a Skypiean

Chapter 12

….

[1 Year Later|Mc's age 8]

–General Pov–

"What?! You haven't seen him too?"

In the Shandia Village, Isa was looking for Amon all around, but it seems he has seemingly vanished without leaving any trace.

Isa's been searching for Amon all day long, however, nobody has seen him at all. Hopeless, Isa fell on her butt as she wiped her sweaty forehead.

"This kid… he's been running out of the Village every chance he gets ever since he got his hands on dials. I'll wait until he comes back, this time I will have to be more strict! But… " She remembered how Bob gave him his custom dials. Or from where would a kid get enough courage to go out alone? "Bob, just you wait," Isa said and punched the ground lightly.

«...*...»

On Amon's side, he was out hunting giant lobsters. Because as surprising as it might sound, even in this white-white sea of cloud, many different kinds of sea creatures lived without any difficulty. 

The area Amon was currently in is the territory of Giant lobsters. 

He was wearing a "Tribal Mask" which covered his whole face. Using the shooter-dial, he was skating on the sea surface. He was also armed with a Burn Bazooka in his back while carrying many other types of dials in his trusted bag.

Usually, the raiders would only come to this area with their teams. However, even they mostly avoid this area, because when they confront one lobster here, it is most likely that it's group will also come out. Even if the raiders survive that, there would most likely be casualties.

So, Amon coming here would be seen as a dumb move by the other tribesmen.

Obviously, Amon knew all this, yet he came here. Also unlike his laid-back personality most of the time, currently under his mask, laid a sharp serious look.

A few minutes passed by as he continued skating, he hasn't discovered any lobsters yet. Still, he wasn't worried about that, instead, he was playing with dials in his hands.

'The dials are more useful than I initially thought. Theoretically, if I have a strong shell and enough dial making skill, then  I can create a Reject Dial strong enough to blow a hole in monsters like Kaido's chest… Theoretically.'

After that, Amon wasn't able to think of anything else. "...!!"

As suddenly, he sensed something big right under him. Before he could be sure of what it was, right at that moment, a giant lobster's claw came out of the white water trying to catch him off guard. 

Sensing the danger, Amon abruptly stopped on his tracks, just narrowly evading the attack.

*Splash!*

The hit was so strong that the sea seemingly got cut in half.

Just as he saw that, he created great distance between themselves. Skating a few hundred meters away, Amon released a breath. "Fuuh… that was close."

Fortunately, Amon's [Observation Haki] was fast enough to sense the path of the attack. Or, Amon might have been shredded into half instead.

Yet, even though he just evaded a seemingly fatal attack, he didn't seem worried at all. Instead, he had a small smile on his face while looking at the giant claw in front of him. "... It seems I have got a big feast tonight," Amon was confident that he could easily beat this lobster without any casualties.

And just as his composure depicted, he moved without any hesitation, rushing towards the lobster who was still trying to attack him from underwater.

Amon was moving very fast, however, the lobster was still able to target him. As one of its claws attacked towards him from the left, while the other came from the right.

Amon was about to get caught, however, right then his speed got a massive boost!

*Boom! Boom!*

Like nitro, strong air pressure exploded out of his shooter, as he evaded the attacks without any difficulty. These were Bob's custom dials that he negotiated last time.

Invading its attack swiftly, and this time, he decided to attack it himself! As he grabbed one of the lobster's claws, white it struggled. Then Amon was about to get flunked by its strength, mostly because he didn't have a strong ground-hold. However, before the lobster was able to do that, he yanked its claws very hard! So hard, that it created a *Crack!* sound and got ripped out of its body. In the process, the lobster's fluid got prayed all over Amon's body, which Amon just ignored.

The lobster struggled while making weird noises, but even though it lost one of its arms it didn't seem to have given up yet. 

Seeing this, Amon used a Milky dial to create a big boat made of clouds. Then he placed the ripped off arm in it. 

He was being frugal. 'That claw is full of nutrition, so is the lobster. I don't want to lose a single bite of my food...' Among thought, while targeting the other claw.

Amon took off his Bazooka and placed it on the cloud-boat while keeping a look at the struggling lobster. Nonetheless, he still had his bag beside him. He can never overestimate himself.

Amon looked down at the lobster underwater. He smiled cheerfully, as his eyes formed a crescent moon.  "Then, mister crab. Will you help me test my strength?" The lobster danced in pain, still, most of its body underwater. "Oh? Thank you very much~!" 

As if triggered by his word, the lobster then jumped up, starting to float in the white-water. Amon smirked and started to inspect it. 'Hmm, the bug is bigger than I thought… It's as large as a small Pirate ship. But, oh well, it's still nothing but a bug in the end...'

The lobster rushed towards him with full force, while Amon also prepared himself. It used it's only clawing, to try again and again and grab a hold of him. 

But with Amon's swift movement, he evaded all of them. But the lobster's claw was still a pain in the àss to Amon.

"That other claw of yours was quite annoying, but now that it's gone this one seems to be exhilarated to join…" Another attack was evaded by him while saying this.

As another fresh attack was coming towards him at full speed. "Since I'm feeling nice today, I'll help you take that one off too!!" Saying this he caught its incoming attack with both his hands. 

*Bam!* It created a sound akin to a rock hitting an iron.

Then just like before, he yanked the claw strongly. With another *Crack!* sound, the claw got ripped out of its body. The lobster without its claws could do nothing but make strangely awful sounds.

The fight was close to ending, but Amon was a bit disappointed. He sighed and shook his head.

Though he did get enough food that can feed around 200 people for a few weeks, meaning the whole tribe, he didn't feel any thrill from this fight.

He lightly shook his head in disappointment. 'I'm not a battle maniac. But there is nothing I can do other than hope for a good fight. Since I have no teachers, the only way to unlock my Armament Haki is constant training and to fight strong opponents.' 

Ignoring the strange behavior of the lobster, he prepared for a finishing move. Swinging one of his arms backward, Amon prepared a punch.

While dashing towards the clawless lobster, he started to think, without any care for the enemy. 'My Observation has already obtained a pretty great level, yet I haven't even unlocked the Armament… this is simply disappointin-'

"...!" Before he could attack the lobster, Amon again felt a sense of danger under him.

Without thinking about any other thing, he quickly invaded its attack.

[Soru]

Fwoosh!

With the help of the shooter-dial in his feet, along with Soru, there aren't many creatures faster than him in this Sky! 

But, as he ran backward, the claw that he ripped off just now fell into the deep water. "FUCK THAT'S MY FOOD!" Amon yelled.

Though he was agitated, he still first increased the distance between him and the clawless-lobster by a few hundred meters. 'The attack just now obviously wasn't from the clawless one, there is another one underwater.'

*Splash!*

Just as he thought, another giant lobster jumped up on the water just beside the Clawless one. This was even 3 times bigger than the previous one.

Seeing this, Amon's eyes arched up, as he smiled. 'Another Mr. Crab… and this one Is at least 3 times bigger than the other…. more food!'

Without allowing it to attack first, this time, using [Soru] and his custom shooter, Amon rushed towards their direction even faster than before. But he didn't attack any of them, instead, he swiftly returned back after retrieving the previous giant lobster's claw from the boat.

Now, 300 meters in front of him, on the right side there was the bigger lobster and the left side was taken by the small one. 

Amon decided his target at the right, dashed forward.

*Boom! Boom!* His shooters' speed boosted.

Using [Soru] along with his shooter-dial, he quickly decreased the distance between them. Though the speed was slower, due to him carrying the heavy-claw. But it was still faster than the lobsters could ever react to.

When he's only 100 meters away, using an imperfect version of [Geppo] he leaped a few steps in the air. 

*Puff!*

Though his Shooter-dial could have done the same, using Geppo frequently will help him perfect the technique itself. After mastering Geppo, only 4 other techniques would be left for perfection among the Six Powers.

As he was floating, he strongly gripped the slim end of the Claw as his fingers pierce the hard outer shell, going inside it and locking them in the process. After that, he swung the claw behind his back for better momentum.

Then, as he was only a few meters away from the target, he mustered all his strength into the claw, smashing it towards lobster No.2's head!

*SHAAA*

The claw cut through the wind, as the velocity of the hit created great wind pressure, adding in the power.

*DHUM!*

Finally, as the claw hit the large lobster's head, it created a large shockwave!

                                 "!!!"

That one hit cracked its shell in two. But he didn't stop there, and *Bam! *Bam!* he kept hitting the lobster for an overkill. This lobster was the reason he lost the other claw, his food!

Before dying, the lobster made the same kind of noise as the clawless one… As Amon realized,  'Oh, wait. The clawless one is still alive…. Let's finish this quickly. I'm hungry.' Amon looked for the clawless lobster and thought.

He smirked with coldness sweeping from his gaze, and when he was about to rush at it.

 "...!!!!!!!!!!!" 

But he again sensed danger, however, unlike last time, this one was bigger. Actually the biggest in his small 8 years old life. 

It was as if someone was hitting his head with a hammer nonstop. His young body was not completely used to this type of sudden headache. But he didn't have time to worry about it now, because some pretty big bugs have appeared.

Splash! Splash! Splash!

One after another, lobsters started to pop out of the water. It was then when Amon also understood something. '... So that strange noise the lobsters were making before death... They were calling for backup, huh?'

….

"Ha…haha…" Amon laughed nervously, seeing the 10 giant lobsters in front of him. 

"Well…" Amon slowly started to take out dials from his bags. "Isn't this a goldmine?"

Taking out 17 dials from the bag, he skillfully threw them at the sea-surface near the lobsters' spot, in a circular motion.

*Ca-crack* The next second, sounds of water being frozen sounded out.

Confused, the lobsters tried to move, and attack Amon, however, half of their bodies submerged in water, we're frozen. Because the water was now frozen.

Amon chuckled. "My first custom made dial, [Freezing Dial: Sea of Ice]"

With no way for the lobsters to move, Amon did not need to feel nervous anymore.

"This is the reason I love my bag filled dials so much."
