Chapter 51

Title: World Nobles?

….

[Same time| Skypiea]

In a training hall made with steel, Raki was leaking her sword forward.

*Slash!*

She was sweating from her whole body since she was using 2 swords at once.

A few days ago, Amon informed her he will get her two beautiful and powerful swords. She was happy hearing it, and since her brother was being so nice, she wanted to use both of his swords at once. So, she started to train on it from now on. Though this is very hard with her being only familiar with one sword, she felt she could do it. Because MOST of the time, two is always better than one.

A few moments later, Raki took a deep breath. "Fuuuh…"

Straightening her back, she took a stance that she thought of herself. Her legs were far from each other, her shoulders were firm and her eyes were sharp. She looked ahead, and twisted her waist, spinning uncontrollably!

"Twin Swords Style: Dragon Slayer!"

She spun hard and kept spinning however, it was for nothing as soon… Her swords flew in different directions.

*Clang!* *Clank!*

"Aaaaa~" With her head dizzy, Raki also fell on the ground with a 'thud' sound.

"Ugh… fuck this. I'm aiming too high too young!" She gritted her teeth and punched the ground. "I need a teacher… A good one. Fuck Gandalf!"

With no other way, Raki just sighed and decided to complain to Amon later. For now, she will just train normally.

«….*...»

[Same time| Birka]

While this was happening, Duy, Warashi, and Kamakiri were in Birka. They were here as 'visitors'. Though they knew this was just for spying purposes. They weren't sure why Amon was doing this, though they had guessed. According to which, they should keep doing as Amon asked. After all, they will get their revenge on the ones who killed their ancestors.

No one shall stop them from taking revenge, and they were sure, Amon had the same thought.

For now, they will do things according to plan

«...★...»

[Back to Whiskey Peak]

Soon after, Amon was sitting in his office with Robin opposite him.

Robin was waiting patiently to hear his words, she was fully sober now.

"Well, first of all, this knowledge will endanger your life, are you still interested?" As Amon asked Robin smiled.

"You have no idea…" She sighed with a giggle. "Anyway, I just want to know, I don't care about my life at this point."

Amon also chuckled hearing her and opened his mouth. "How much do you know about the world government, give me a base. If you want to know about World Nobles, then you have to know about the world government first." He asked while eating some snacks.

Robin started to think of what she knew. "Not much, just that the World Government is the force ruling over the whole world for more than 800 years now… They have many informants all around the world too…" As she said this Amon raised an eyebrow, she realized this should be confidential information. "...Don't look at me like that, I have reasons for knowing them."

Amon smiled at her. 'She slipped her words huh… How rare.'

"Anyway, forget about it." Amon ignored it, as she released a relieved sigh. "The thing is, your knowledge is close to none existent. I expected more." As he said this, Robin just stayed silent.

"Anyhow, as you said, it's a force created 800 years ago. If you look more at it you will learn that, 800 years ago, 20 kingdoms made an alliance only to fight against the Great Kingdom. They allied against it and finally brought it down. After their win, all of them merged together, except 1." Amon raised his finger. "Alabasta."

….

While Robin was shocked at his every sentence, Amon reached the part of "World Nobles" also known as "Celestial Dragons".

"The World Nobles, also known as the Celestial Dragons are the aristocratic descendants of nineteen of the Twenty Kings who established what is now known as the World Government."

While Amon said this, Robin tried her best to not question his source of information and paid attention to the new information.

"As descendants of the creators of the World Government, the World Nobles have the highest authority within the organization. They are free to do as they please without consequences, even commit heinous crimes, and if they are threatened in any way, they have the authority to summon a Marine Admiral to deal with the offending party."

Robin's eyes instantly arched up, as she felt her fear rise up within her heart. One name was lurking in her head, 'Admiral Aokiji'.

"Gulp."

'Let's stop here, I should not think of opposing them anymore. I-If… if he comes, even Lucifer will be killed. I don't want him to die. Ever.' Robin thought with her forehead going completely cold. 'For the past 11 years, I've been able to run away and survive no matter what the circumstance. That's only because I had nothing to protect. Because I was willing to betray others and use them as a shield. But… can I do it after meeting him? After… more than half a year of experiencing this treatment… Can I betray him ever? Am I… really the Demon Child?'

A few minutes passed as she rested her head on the chair and Amon waited for her to calm down.

….

"Are you alright?" Amon asked as Robin opened her eyes. She didn't notice when the boy came and started to massage her head.

A small smile bloomed on her face. "I… Don't know." Her smile contained strange emotions.

Amon looked at her with confusion. 'Oh? Being honest after so long?'

"You can continue… but can you keep massaging?" She said as Amon nodded.

"The World Nobles constantly abuse their power and look down on the people of lower status than them, referring to them as commoners," Amon said. "Even kings and queens are lowly peasants in their eyes and are expected to bow to the whims of the World Nobles, or their whole kingdoms could face destruction."

Robin was listening less and enjoying his hands more.

…..

Time passed and Amon ended his explanation of the World Government's bad deeds, their hypocritical ways of declaring owning slaves as an illegal act, yet they themselves do it in broad daylight.

Robin listened to it all and though she did come to despise them, it wasn't as much as Amon had predicted. Her fear was suppressing her hate a little too much. Though Amon did have other ways…

As Robin looked at Amon who was massaging her shoulders now, she was questioning herself. 'When did we become so close that body touching became normal?' But this question was a side-note. The main question was…

"Luci… do you mind telling me why you know so much about world government?... Even their past too. You also know about... the existence of Ponegylphs."

Amon smiled at her, as he glanced at her visible cleavage from above. "Well, let's say it has something to do with my… family's past. The place I live contains a small part of the history. My ancestors were killed, so we became natural enemies." Amon said with Robin having wide eyes. "Now, as the leader of my people, and the King of the Sky, I have the mission to take down the World Government… A mission handed to me by my ancestors–"

"No!" Suddenly, Robin removed his hands and got up from her seat. "You can't do it!" She said with her hands on his shoulders. She ignored his other words, his words of being a ruler in the sky, and only paid attention to one line. "You can't win against them! T-They are monsters! You will die."

"Didn't you say they have the Admirals under their direct control?... You don't know how dangerous Admirals are.".

Amon just stared at her 'surprised'. He sighed. "I'm sorry… But that's something I can't change, not even at your words." He removed her hands while shaking his head.

"..." Robin looked at his eyes with disbelief with her mouth agape. 'Why…. Why!'

"Rather…" Amon's word brought her back. "You should leave the guild." He said with a smile. "...Now that I cleared my goals to you, you should know how dangerous it is to be with me. The marines, Cipher Pol, and even all the other factions under the World government will come after me…"

Robin's face froze. 'Marines… Aokiji… M-Maybe, I really should leave.'

She wasn't able to think of anything else. "Actually… haha." Amon released a sad laughter! "I'm sure… I will die. The World Government is a strong force after all. My death is inevitable. Believe me, when I say I know more about their power than you do."

Robin didn't realize it, but her hands moved by themselves. "Then STOP! You don't have to follow some order given by… ancient people. They are just memories of the p-past." Robin said as she again put her hands on his shoulders. She didn't even realize how she had labeled the word 'past'. Her love for history was being toppled by other new emotions.

However… This was natural. Amon smirked internally.

While coming to the office, he showed her the watch in his pocket. There he did his trick, he hypnotized her subconscious mind. An order was made the moment she looked at the picket watch. Yes, the order, 'Be truthful to your feelings' was working to its best.

….

Minute passed, as Robin kept staring at him while he kept looking at her too. "I… am sorry. But…"

"...I can't do it. I can't reject my ancestors." Suddenly, Amon hugged her tightly. "I'm sorry… but you should leave. I will get busy these days, like recruiting strong people for my kingdom…. And search for people of survivors of destroyed kingdoms who might hold a grudge against the World government… Haha, I can't believe I have stooped so low to even think of using those people who lost everything in their life." Robin felt his tears dripping down her chest.

"Then don't… if you don't want to use them then stop. Please! Or you will die…" Robin's tears also fell on Amon's shoulders.

As seconds passed, Amon laughed lightly. "There is a chance for that not to happen. If I'm able to take that chance, then it's a guarantee I will live, and the world government will fall." He said.

Robin stopped in surprise. 'A… chance?'

"You see, there are things called… Ancient Weapons." Amon said as Robin stayed silent, she was aware of their existence.

"If… I can find then, then one day, I will have enough power to topple their power, the world government's power." He went silent and sighed. "Unfortunately, I can't read the Ponegylphs consisting of the location of the Ancient Weapons." He said. "If… I can find a survivor of the island O'Hara, then things might change. But I'm sure all of them were wiped by the world government."

Robin's crying stopped as her eyes grew up. "If… someone from O'Hara helps you read Ponegylphs then…?"

"Well, then I will be able to destroy the World Government to their roots." Amon chuckled. "Though it's just wishful thinking for me. Finding a survivor would be hard. I heard there was a little girl who survived, but I'm sure she died somewhere in the West Blue in the last decade."

Amon sighed and slowly started to remove his hands, however… they were stopped by a pair of hands bigger than his.

"That girl isn't dead…" It was Robin whose face was covered in tears and snort. "T-That girl is in front of you… like you'd say, 'alive and kickin'. That girl, the Demon Child, is me. Nico Robin."

Amon looked at her with pure surprise.

At this moment, Robin decided something. 'They call me Demon Child? Fine, I will be a demon. Only for him… my brother. '
