Chapter 68 - Changes And Next Moves!
Chapter 68
Title: Changes and next moves!
….
Soon after, the world learned about the appearance of a new Warlord, as it went frenzy learning the person wasn't a pirate before!
One could see that, if the man did his duty properly, he may become the most favorite Warlord among people. Which Amon would easily achieve, after all, this was a game of politics, politics is something that exists even in this magical world.
On the other hand, The Revolutionary Dragon was very breathless at this period. If what he knew was correct, which most likely is, the new Warlord isn't the type of innocent boy he appears he is.
However, this was one of the rare occasions where even Dragon himself wasn't sure of it.
Was the person who destroyed Birka on a whim, Evil? Definitely.
Was the person who saved everyone from that same incident, Evil? Most likely, he started it after all.
Yet, Dragon wasn't 100% sure. He decided to hold back for now. Deciding to observe things from the sidelines, Dragon stayed out of this matter completely. He was there, passive like always, but he was and will still be there even in the future.
«...★...»
"Oh, wow damn."
The Trump Pirates had more exaggerated reactions than others, after all, now they were a part of a Warlord's crew. They felt a little proud even though they were practically slaves right now.
Honey Queen was lying in bed, with Amon beside her. Amon was sitting against 2 pillows placed at the other's top, while he had a book in his hands.
"Yawn…" The woman yawned from Amon's side, though he didn't look back.
"Hey, won't we get any special roles or maybe gifts since we are your subordinate?" Honey Queen asked with a yawn. She was quite casual with Amon, even though the poison hurts badly sometimes, it's not like she is dying. It was also revealed by Amon, that the more they endure the poison, the more strong they will get so that's a plus… always think optimistically.
In the last year, she has grown a lot physically… though her 'exercise' may have a big hand behind that.
While she looked at Amon with sloppy eyes, he dropped down the book and looked back at her.
"You want a gift?" He asked nonchalantly with a non-chant face. "Alright."
"H-Huh? What's with that tone." Honey Queen expanded the space between them. "I don't want it anymore… I swear I will do something bad if you make me a test subject again."
Before she could continue, Amon touched her forehead with a finger of his left hand while holding a pocket watch in his right.
"Sto–Zzz!" Before Honey Queen could continue, she felt an electrical current entering her neurons. Her body started to shake but it wasn't an uncomfortable feeling. "W-W-Wha—"
Suddenly, her shaky eyes stopped. Her eyes were locked at the pocket watch.
"You'll be a stone statue for 2 minutes. You won't even breathe in this time frame."
Amon's words hit her like a hammer as her shaky body also stopped while she froze in time. Luckily 2 minutes wasn't long, so she won't even lose consciousness for not breathing this long.
Amon came close to her frozen face and looked within her eyes. 'It worked fine… using electricity to numb her senses helps with my Hypnosis.' It's not something new, back in his previous world there were cases of hypnotism by flowing electricity through the brain. Likewise, one day, he might be able to pull these hypnotic attacks with just his devil fruit powers as well.
But there was another important thing… 'However, what was that Shaky effect?'
The Shaky effect wasn't just an ordinary shake since the bed was wet on Honey Queen's part. She climaxed without Amon even touching her. The reason? Yes.
Brain neurons are what produce the feeling of 'pleasure' in the first place. If Amon uses a minimum voltage and can move the electricity skillfully, he might succeed at making an aphrodisiac-like skill. It should be pretty useful if he masters it and can use it on multiple targets at once. Making your enemy dance in pleasure can be dangerous for them and useful for you. It also has… other versatile uses.
"HAAAAAH!"
Honey Queen regained her senses as 2 minutes passed. While she glared at Amon, Amon just laughed and leaned towards her.
«...★…»
Things were moving smoother than previously and new members were constantly joining Amon's guild, which was known as an organization to the higher-ups, while still a guild to normal people. It now accomplished many kinds of work in the dark, legally.
Even so, Amon didn't do things that were considered 'too much'. There is always a limit to things, this is the reason why Crocodile wasn't confident enough to try and kill Amon from the get-go. He had a reputation as the best hunter, so even Crocodile would have faced trouble after doing the act. Well, it's a case for when he would have succeeded only.
Meanwhile, Amon was learning drawing from Robin, he was learning to draw many animal sculptures from her. Her artistic side was happy to help him learn them.
After researching a little on why Enel did what he did, meaning why Enel used the 4 drums in his back rather than just attacking normally, Amon realized it had an actual reason backing it.
It's hard to form detailed creatures made of electricity like that Thunder Dragon and Thunder Bird that Enel used. From what Amon was able to perceive, it seems the drums in Enel's back were special. They had, what Amon liked to call, 'formations' craved in their skin-veil of the drums.
Unlike its chunni name, it wasn't something magical and can be explained by science. Inside those drums, animals such as a Dragon and the Vermillion Bird were sculpted by gold in the veil made of skin.
When channeling electricity through those sculpted animals, they take the form of the animal that was sculpted and Enel controls them freely after doing such.
That is something that can be done without the help of any instruments like the mentioned drums, however, without a certain level of mastery over the fruit, it can't be done freely. Normally, the last time Amon made an Azure Dragon of Lighting, it took him 3 minutes and 56 seconds to perfectly form it. By this time, even a mob would easily be able to claim his head.
That was also the reason he's learning drawing. Having an artistic mind and detailed imagination would help him create these things more efficiently and quickly. It's pretty clear, he won't implant some drums in place of his beautiful wings.
So here was Amon, trying out the powers from a golden sculpture he made with Robin.
…..
–Amon Pov–
Currently, it was night and I'm on an isolated island with Robin beside me.
In front of me, the ground is carved, forming an Azure Dragon. The carved ground was just normal ground made of earth, since it wouldn't have worked to test my theory, I dripped melted gold in the carved ground and now it's shining gold, making it conducive for my electricity.
"Alright, it's done. Try it, Luci."
Robin was sitting in front of me and finished doing the finishing touch. Now it's perfect… theoretically, I should be able to achieve what I came for.
"Fuu…. Come here, stand behind me, Robin." I asked her as she nodded and did as I said.
Without waiting for anything, I smile and place my hands on the ground and put 2 of my fingers inside a curved line in the carved ground.
Zzzzt….
"Ah!"
As I slowly conducted electricity, the dark forest became bright. Too bright!
"106 Million volts: Azure Dragon!"
Normally when trying to form something detailed, I have to think hard about the details, however, not this time. I was just channeling my powers while Robin stared agape at the scene.
"ROAR!"
With a strange roar, a massive dragon made of lighting came out of the golden ground and went to the sky. I could feel my control over it, but I wasn't in the condition to do so. I was simply… impressed and a little proud of my own creation.
The dragon was massive, unlike Enel's small snake, it was a real dragon. The size, I wasn't sure, but it looked as big as Kaido to him, and it's not like I can't increase the size of it, I just need to channel more EE into it.
"YAAAY!" As the dragon went towards the empty sky, the space and out of my control. I jumped up in joy and hugged Robin who was on my side.

–General Pov–
Days later, Amon was there training his subordinates. In a few days, they will have to visit a certain kingdom in the blue sea, so they need serious training.
They weren't on the training grounds since it wasn't big enough for every one of the God's people to be present. Rather they were out in the old forest with ancient trees, this scene looked cool and beautiful.
Today was the day Amon conquered the Upper Yard 4 years ago, so it was a day of celebration and Amon decided to open the forbidden land for the guests, without any charge at all.
For that reason, many Skypieans came to see today's training. Among them, Koin, Conis, and Pagaya were present too.
Amon glanced at them and waved his hands. While Conis jumped in surprise, Amon ignored them for now and shifted with the main course.
Today, in a large ring, Amon was there with three more people.
Wyper of the Personal Guards.
Reo of God's Militia.
And finally, a man who, in a different timeline would have become famous in the name of Mad Monk. Yes, he's the Birkan High-priest, MAD MONK UROUGE!
"Amithaba."
Urouge, like always, had a massive grin plastered on his face.
