Chapter 52

Title: Return!

….

[Days later]

Amon was on Clockwork Island inside an underground lab that had tons of security. He was working on the dead body of Jango, who died while Amon was experimenting on his brain... In the end, his medical power, or specifically his surgical power was still too measly.

He was reaching nowhere with the mushroom on his chin and was getting a little frustrated. He did what he was doing for around another hour, however, reaching nowhere he broke some random equipment.

To suppress his frustration, Amon went toward his personal underground training hall he made on this island.

…..

Hours later, the Trump Siblings were up in the tower while eating their dinner.

*BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!*

"Damn, he's still at it. I feel bad for the metallic wall. It's been getting hit for hours now…" Boo Jack, one of the siblings said.

"Yawn… yea, sad. The sound is coming from 300 meters underground… Basta–Baby, is a monster." Honey Queen corrected herself while eating her food.

They ignored the noise and kept eating their food. They were too used to it by now, to not do so.

….

*Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!*

Amon was punching a giant metallic boulder the size of a poneglyph. This scene looked similar to how Luffy trained his Ryou, albeit Amon was just training normal Armament.

His hands were going ink-black now and then, though most of the time it just shined under the light. Amon had a crazy grin on his face, while his now close-to shoulder-length hair, which he slid backward was dripping in his sweat.

"Haah! *Bam!* Just a little more!" His hands were hurting badly from the punches and that would have been the case for the wall too if it had feelings that is. It had many craters on it and many new ones were being created right at the moment. This was the 13th boulder and more will be needed in the future.

Amon could feel how he was getting closer and closer to Ink-black Armament as his previous frustration had vanished.

"Let's break this boulder!"

«…*...»

Back to the dining room, now the sounds were gone as they noticed someone coming to the hall through the door.

"Yawn, hello monkeys prepare the food for me." It was Amon, who was walking alongside a milf who had a forced smile that everyone could see through. He was walking while stretching, while his body was dripping with sweat. He just took a dip in the pool with the person beside him.

Honey Queen glanced at his body for a second with a wide mouth. 'Damn… he's getting hotter every day, huh.' His body was taller than before, around 190cm now. He was growing very fast, and that wasn't just his height. His body's muscles were packed and rocky, and his arms were rock solid too. He still had his lean body, though he also had a muscular chest which perfectly balanced his stature. His 8 pack was clearly visible to the others as well.

The Trump Siblings just kept staring at him, while he sat on the chair at the middle of the table, the one where the "Bear King" used to sit before, though now he was just sitting on a chair on the side.

Time passed as Amon finished eating, while Honey Queen invited him to her room. Though he rejected her since he was tired.

«…*...»

Days were passing smoothly and Amon was also doing good with Robin. He also revealed he's from an Island in the Sky and also that Sky islands are real. Though Robin only believed him because it was him and he had bird-like wings.

Amon was also keeping track with Raki on everything that was happening in the sky, and he's been ordering her to do things that she should do.

It didn't take long for Amon to appear in the newspaper and be officially enthroned as the 'Best Bounty Hunter' of the generation with his lone hunt of 16 Billion and his Guild's(which is his) overall collection of bounty being 40 Billion Bellies!

Amon has been too active these days and since his guild also had 70k members in it, his net worth was increasing in live time.

This also picked the attention of people which it shouldn't have. Even though the Marines stayed out of it because of the contract, which they can't just discard. The purpose of the contact was this in the first place, as even though initially it didn't have much use, now it was looking out his back.

Not only the maries, but many people were also seeing Amon as a dangerous man too, though not as dangerous since in the end, he is still a bounty hunter for money.

With Robin now managing many things for him, things were also moving smoothly. He had enough trust in her ability and himself to believe that she won't betray him, however, it never hurts to take precautions so he never forgets to take the report of everything she did and everything that happened. Robin did it happily to be truthful.

….

On the other hand, Cricket also became strong, very strong as he was the best bounty hunter under Amon as of now. He mostly used his legs for these 2 years since that's his fighting style. These days he wears a hat, which stops anyone from recognizing him.

His leg prowess has improved a lot, as Amon also introduced him to [Soru] and [Geppo] under the name of [Fast Walk] and [Sky Walk]...

Just like these, time passed very smoothly. Too smoothly if one had to say.

«…*...»

★★[A month later| The 2-year time mark]★★

"You will… Come back right?" Robin nervously asked towards Amon who smiled at her.

Amon was wearing a black jacket with a dark purple shirt under it, along with black pants and black shoes. With his shiny black hair reaching his shoulders, Amon was the definition of Man In Black, albeit his white wings were only making him look cooler as it went best with the contrast.

Today was the day he would leave for the Sky. Currently, he was up on the 10th floor of the mayor's building with Robin as uncertainty was in those eyes in front of him.

'Look at her… I'm like a drug to her, huh.' Amon thought with a chuckle as he walked towards her. He wasn't wrong, she really saw him like that.

"Hey, Robin." He said and raised his hands towards her forehead and raised the hair. "I will never leave you for eternity… Don't worry, I will come back every week." *Smooch!*... Amon kissed her forehead as her eyes grew. She wasn't prepared for this, but she didn't react much, or at least nothing was shown in her face.

"Love you," Amon said with a wink and launched himself to the air without waiting for her answer.

'Love?... What type of love?' Robin looked at him as he left.

Her job was to watch over the Guild, which he initially wanted to destroy upon this day. But it was grown too big for its own good and will help Amon a lot to grow his kingdom in the initial stages.

"I hope… you come back, Luci." Robin wouldn't be able to take the hit if he does not come back, after all, she's a person who's been brought out from the rabbit hole to above the clouds by him, her so-called brother.

«…*...»

Amon was flying while carrying a small boat with his hands. In the boat, Cricket was sitting while he had many bags around him.

"Whoa, Luci! Slow down! We are above 8 thousand meters! I will never do this ever!!!"

By calling him 'Lucifer' for a year and a half, Cricket was more comfortable with it than 'Amon' at this point. Right now, he was shit scared though he maintained his bright smile still. He was also looking forward to the people Noland met. He was curious to meet the other descendants of Kalgara too, and even Amon's little sisters that he talked about.

He was very looking forward to his time in the sky.

«…*...»

They have already reached Skypiea and met the chief at the gate playing games with Gan Fall. Chief was surprised a lot since Amon didn't inform them of his return. More so when he met him, Mont Blanc Cricket!

"Waaaahaaaa! It's incredible! Kalgara look!" This was his reaction.

After that, the three of them went to the upper yard, while Gan Fall volunteered to guard the gate. He was also a little happy seeing them finally meet the descendant of a great man.

The three of them then went to the upper yard using the boat cricket was on. The chief was too busy with Cricket to notice the bag of money around the boat. If converted, they will be around….

«…*...»

Raki was there sparring with Wyper, both relying on their weapons. Wyper became very strong over the past two years, he was taller too, around 165cm tall.

"Hah, dodge this Raki!" Wyper rushed towards Raki with his spear's end about to hit Raki's stomach.

"Wait!" Suddenly, Raki yelled with a frown as Wyper stopped at the last moment.

"Idiot bitch, I almost killed yo–"

"Shut up! II sense… 3 people coming here. One is chief the other two… one I don't know, but one is a bit familiar." Her eyes grew. "BROTHER!"

*Fwoosh!*

Raki ran towards the place the boat was supposed to stop, as Wyper looked confused. "Amon? But I can't sense anything… Damn, this girl's mantra is too powerful."

Wyper didn't waste any time and also dashed towards that place. 'I want to see, is he like before, still above me or am I stronger than him now?' He thought with a grin filled with battle lust.

A/N: Well, Wyper is strong. Like he can take down a few dozen Amon himself. (jk)
