Chapter 136

Title: Flag

….

–Ace Pov–

Jack was in front of me, lying unconscious. I felt my blood boil.

"Now Ace, go for the head."

Hearing Mr. Fool's statement, I clenched my fist.

Jack's defense in his mammoth form was high, but in his human form, it's nothing extraordinary since he can't even use Haki.

He is unconscious, so this is the best time to kill him.

Still – 'I can't believe it…'

Am I going to kill a human…?

The thought made me hesitate a little... I hesitated for 7 seconds before clenching my jaws.

It didn't matter anymore. 'I don't care anymore, he killed Deuce so he has to die!'

I was grateful that Mr.Fool is giving me this chance.

I am sure he also wants to kill him, yet he is being considerate of me.

Zha!

As if to cheer me up, my hands lit up. It was fire, a fist made of fire.

I looked at Jack's head, his metallic jaw mask was still there. I decided to melt it...!

I raised my hand in the air and targeted Deuce's killer, Jack's head.

"Deuce!" I yelled on top of my lungs while tears fell down my cheeks. "Look at this!!"

<Fire Fist!>

My fist went towards Jack's jaw mask as it caught fire, melting itself down, melting down his mouth in the process as well.

"This is the fire I obtained after your death! Look how it burns this bastard! DEUCE!"

Melting his mouth wasn't enough though. ZHA! – the fire soon caught up to his hair and started to burn his whole body.

I fell on my knees. I punched the ground. I felt my heart calm down by a lot. It's as if I lost a large weight from my shoulders.

Kneeling on the ground, I yelled at the sky with a tear and snot-filled face. "DEUCE WHEREVER YOU ARE, BE HAPPY!"

I have finally succeeded at taking revenge, but I wasn't really happy. The emotion I was suppressing up until now burst out as I started to cry.

I was going to cry some more, but a voice brought me out of my dream world.

"Who are you guys?!"

-

–General Pov–

"Who are you guys?!"

Suddenly, a voice brought Ace out of his world as he looked around with blurry eyes.

The figure of a young woman entered his eyes. She was wearing a kimono and a pair of horns on her head while wielding a spiky club. It was Yamato!

From the side, Amon grinned ear-to-ear under his mask.

Obviously, he knew that Yamato was nearby. That's why he asked Ace to kill Jack in the first place, rather than killing him by himself.

'Mission 1 – completed.'

Now he just has to snatch her diary and escort Ace out of here. What can go wrong?

"I asked you a question!" She shouted again, her eyes shaking the ashes left behind by Jack's body.

Yamato hated her father but seeing one of her father's precious people getting killed like this still hit her hard.

She again prepared to shout– "Hey, you guys–" but Amon moved.

He simply teleported behind her and chopped her in the neck at a high speed.

Feeling the attack coming, Yamato tried to block the attack using her Thunder Bagura but failed miserably.

"A..h..." She silently fell down, knocked unconscious.

While nobody was looking, Amon grabbed the diary from her belt and put it in the bag beside him. It was filled with dials and two fruits – surprisingly, one of the fruits was slowly changing, starting to possess encrypts.

'Mission 2 – complete.'

Amon just put Yamato down on the ground. He would have brainwashed her, but unfortunately, she has Advanced Conqueror's Haki, so it would be impossible.

Amon stood up as he put Yamato down. "Ace, we shouldn't waste any more time, let's go back."

Ace nodded shortly after.

It was time for mission 3, safely getting out of Wano.

[Same Time]

Meanwhile, in Skypiea, the new Thriller Bark was being modified once again.

This time around, a secret 'city' was being made under the island. Here, with the main island as a cover, the Sun itself would be shunned and blighted. This would be a land where the Red Moon(light bulbs) never sets; where the Solar Eclipse never ends. A land forever lost in desolation – never to be graced by caressing warmth.

This is a prison.

Yes, Amon needs a prison for the ones who disobey him, and Yona will be the warden of that prison!

Currently, only a few very loyal Birkans were here, in the underground of Thriller Bark. They were constructing a Jail, a prison that is planned to be more secure than Impel Down!

They were giving their all to make it perfect, just as Amon wished!

Both Robin and Raki were here to help Yona, they were also giving their all… at least Robin was.

Currently, besides the Birkans, most of the workers were Zombies made by shadows.

Yona, who was standing between Robin and Raki shouted: "Hey, Yona-4, go to the south area, help Yona-11."

She was shouting towards… Yonas.

Currently, there also were more than 10 Yonas working while the main Yona was managing them.

This was the – <Multi Shadow Clone Technique>.

Moria could use it as well, but he could only make 1 clone. But by mixing her own shadow particles with other people's shadows, she can make multiple shadow clones. Obviously, the idea wasn't hers, it belonged to Amon.

Beside Yona, Raki and Robin were standing.

While Robin was helping the construction by materializing extra hands from here and there, Raki looked at Yona with a bright smile. "Hey, Yona, wanna go out? I will take you to the best restaurant in Gran Tesoro!"

With giving her a glance, Yona just shook her head. "No, and stop it or I will tell Kami-sama."

'Fuck.' Raki gritted her teeth but didn't give up. "Then what about your clone…? At least give me one of them."

Hearing this Yona frowned and turned around to face her, her eyes were glowing. The atmosphere suddenly turned wild.

Suddenly, Raki gulped and took steps back. "Um… Yona, calm dow–AAA!"

Before Raki could finish her words, Yona kicked her shadow, making Raki fly a dozen meters away.

Boom! Raki crashed into a crumbling building.

"I told you to stop…"

Meanwhile, Robin just sighed from the sidelines. She stroked Yona's hair. "Yona, don't hit her every time, she is just desperate."

"... Okay." Yona nodded and enjoyed Robin's hand.

Robin giggled lightly and opened her mouth looking around the prison. "Anyway, let's hurry up. Let's make this place perfect, according to the blueprint!"

«...★...»

[Same Time]

In Kuri, O-Tama was patiently waiting for Amon to return.

It's been a few hours since they left, she assumed it would take a few days for them to return, yet, she couldn't wait.

She was scared – what if they leave her like this?

O-Tama really wanted to travel the sea with Amon, and see how the outside world is. She would be greatly disappointed if Amon leaves her here after giving her false hope.

She looked down, there was a bowl full of food in her hand. But she didn't have the appetite.

Beside her, Hitetsu sighed. "O-Tama, eat your food. Or you will lose weight. How are you gonna become a kunoichi then?"

O-Tama shook her head. "Grandpa! I won't just be any kunoichi, I am gonna be the best and travel with Mister Brother!"

A laugh soon entered the room from outside. "Haha, O-Tama, that's why you need to eat your food."

It was Amon's voice.

"Mister Brother! You are back!"

"Anyway, we need to leave quickly. Or a ferocious dragon might come, you see."

While O-Tama made an 'O' face, Hitetsu released a long breath and stood up. This meant they succeeded in killing Jack, this proved Amon had enough strength to protect O-Tama.

Hitetsu opened his mouth after hearing Amon. "You are gonna leave so soon?"

Amon showed his seriousness by his visible eyes. "Yes, or things might go haywire."

"I… see." He bowed suddenly. "Then I would ask you for the last time, please take care of O-Tama. Make sure she gets a good childhood."

Amon nodded with a light laugh. He didn't know how much good of a childhood she will get to experience with the creepy Karna as her playmate.

He can already imagine him saying – 'Did you bring this girl for me? Can I dissect her?'

O-Tama ran and hugged his legs tightly.

Meanwhile, the Spade Pirates were standing behind him, all of their heads down.

Knowing their thoughts, Amon stroked O-Tama's hair and looked at Ace.

"Ace… do you want to stay here for a while…? Or leave right now."

Ace barely formed a smile, but it looked bitter. "Do what is better, I trust you."

Amon just nodded and opened his mouth. "Then I suggest… let's leave."

«...★...»

Soon, they prepared the Spade Pirates ship, Amon is supposed to escort them back to Risky Red island.

Finally, O-Tama broke down crying. She hugged Hitetsu tightly for half an hour while Hitetsu asked Amon to knock her unconscious. It was better for her to leave with Amon, she will get good enough to grow up fast.

Surprising the Kuri inhabitants, Hitetsu went to Amon with a sword in his hand, holding respectfully.

He bowed towards him deeply. "For someone like you, who has the Kitetsu I and also the Kitetsu III, it would only be natural for you to have the Kitetsu II as well."

He raised his head and looked at the 'surprised' eyes of Amon. "Truthfully, I am giving this as a token of gratitude for taking O-Tama with you, as this is the only treasure I have. I thank you very much… please accept it."

Amon sighed as to show some decency, but accepted in the end.

With this, his decent guy period also ended.

«...★...»

[9 hours later | Onigashima]

On the other hand, the Beasts Pirates had arrived at where Jack's mansion was and found the ashes of Jack's body.

However, since Amon had hidden Yamato's unconscious body within the ruined mansion, they couldn't find her.

Around 9 hours later, Yamato barely opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was the silhouette of a giant man falling over her body.

"Yamato… what happened here."
