Chapter 116
Title: Swords'man' Raki
....
–Amon Pov–
"S~lee~p~"
I hypnotized the homie-door along with two guards who were guarding the Poneglyph room.
I reached Totto Land a few minutes ago and observed things quietly from the shadows as my first move. I would have left if things were looking bad, but they fortunately didn't.
After that, I teleported inside the room.
Naturally, the room is always highly guarded, but it's still not as guarded as it was when Brook invaded here in canon. The reason being, Big Mom isn't aware that her Ponegyplh would be copied today. Even so, it didn't matter, as I was invisible and the fastest creature on the planet.
After hypnotizing the guards and Mama's homies inside the massive room, I imdiately started to copy the Poneglyph.
'This is easy. Speed truly is everything.'
Even though I said, 'Speed is everything', I was also aware that things might get ssed up if I get too caught up in my asly arrogance.

–General Pov–
anwhile, in Mariejois,
"Brother, brother! We are back!"
"Yes! We are back!"
The two Noble brothers, Ainsworth and Berseodo who were escorted back to the Holyland were acting childish.
"Ainsworth! What are you doing?!" Their father, a prestigious world noble even among the nobles shouted. "What happened to you two, you are acting out of your mind!!"
Seeing his eldest and smartest son tilt his head childishly, the old noble gritted his teeth. "Ainsworth! You were captured, so you are supposed to be angry! Do you know how worried and angry I was?!"
The two brothers looked confused. "Eh? We are back now, aren't we? Doesn't that make everything fine?"
No, they weren't brainwashed by Amon. They were tortured, tortured by Yona and the priests.
Yona was very angry, not because she was humiliated, rather because she was angry because they humiliated her lord by making her almost lick their shoes.
So, Yona used many ways to torture them, they were now eunuchs. All that torture made their mind adopt a 'happy state' so that they don't break down and ntaly die. Amon didn't even need to use hypnotism on them, they were weak-willed from the beginning after all.
"Haha, daddy why are you so furious? You are getting old, aha!"
Berseodo laughed, making the old noble facepalm himself. 'This is unbearable... what are the elders doing! I asked them to make that boy's bounty more than 10 billion, yet...!! Those useless old fools!'
The prestigious world noble asked the governnt to give Amon a high bounty, but they weren't able to do so because of the balance. If a young Emperor suddenly had a bounty surpassing the Old ones, they will definitely target him.
Although this might seem like a 'wait, isn't that better?' plan, it's like summoning the devil. They assud, after Amon would have gotten defeated, the Emperors might ally or start a war among themselves, either way, it would have been a bad decision.
Slam!
He hardly slamd the table in front of him. "Looks like I need to hire rcenaries and pirates. I need my daughter back too..."
Taking deep breaths to calm down his high pressure, the noble then ignored his two sons. He felt his blood pressure rise the more he looked at their childish behavior.
Alas, he didn't know his daughter was already a brainwashed nymphomaniac.
«...★...»
In the vast sea of the New World,
Slash!
A battle was taking place in Gran Tesoro.
Clang!
Raki slashed towards Tesoro's waist, but it was blocked by liquid gold.
She was safe from the Gold Dust since she was in the submarine, so Tesoro was having a hard ti fighting against her.
"!"
Tesoro made a spear of Gold and threw it towards Raki. The sharp edge went directly at her face.
It seed it would completely penetrate her head, but she perfectly blocked the attack with her twin swords.
Although she blocked the attacks, Raki was still hurt, she had blood dripping down her forehead.
"Hah!" Yet, she was grinning. "Prepare for destruction."
Raki's fast footstep irritated Tesoro as Baccarat also joined him. It seems the tables would turn because Raki's luck was stolen by Baccarat's touch!
Slip!
While running, Raki slipped on a banana peel and fell on her face. At first, she assud it was the Kitetsu blade's fault who didn't pull this prank in the last 4 years. But soon she realized what happened after observing the laughing Baccarat.
"...Heh." She just returned a grin.
....
anwhile, Shortmotor was fighting the Through-Through Fruit user. The opponent was phasing through all his attacks, irritating him to an unbelievable degree. Motor, who never watched the Film Gold, didn't know that the fruit user could only phase through sothing that wasn't flesh-and-blood. If he knew, he would have transford into a Liger.
Even so, unfortunately, the Phase fruit user wasn't alone while attacking Motor. There was the masochistic guy as well, they were teaming up against a single robot.
Bam!
Sothing hit Motor in the back of his head, as he was flown ters away. If he was a human, he would have beco unconscious, but luckily he was a robot.
He rubbed the back of his head which was bent inwardly as his eyes beca sharp.
He didn't transform yet since Raki only asked him to keep them in check. But if he transforms into that monster, he would start killing them.
But... looking at Raki who was struggling, he clenched his fist. "I need to transform."
Groaning, the Automata started to transform, making the Phase fruit user flinch because of the 'passive intimidation' of the transformation.
Motor's transformation wasn't fully flesh-and-blood. His nose, neck collar, and shoulder were still made of tal, it looked rather cool.
Seeing his enemies caught off guard, Shortmotor then ran towards the Through-fruit user— ""
anwhile, Ghost Motor was flying like Ironman. He was fighting the other mbers of the ship who tried to interfere in the battle by shooting lasers and bullets.
....
Bam!
Raki was hit in the nose by Tesoro's gold gauntlets and was flung far behind.
'Fuck, I'm not this weak. But that woman...' Raki looked at Tesoro's side where a red-haired beautiful tanned woman stood. 'She is troubleso.'
Seeing her gaze, the woman who was wearing a beautiful golden armor giggled. "I'm Baccarat. I ate the Raki-Raki fruit. (Luck-Luck fruit.) I have the power of luck by my side, I'm lady luck herself."
Raki's eyes twitched. 'Raki-Raki fruit...?'
"You... are you making fun of ?" She assud the woman was deliberately doing this.
Baccarat didn't answer, confused. "What are you talking about?"
Tesoro laughed. "Girl, I don't know who you are, but You are strong. It seems you aren't a pirate. Even if you are, you don't have a big enough bounty to stand out. Would you reveal, why are you here and interrupting my concert?"
"Wait," Suddenly, Tesoro had an idea as he laughed out loud. "Could it be that I ever robbed your family and you are here to take revenge? Is that it!"
Baccarat also laughed with him. She did what benefited her, that's the reason she was working with Tesoro, to begin with. If she gets a better offer, she won't think twice to change sides.
Tesoro then pointed at Baccarat. "Her power is Luck itself, she is currently assisting after stealing your luck. As long as she is by my side, I will be fine."
Raki finally understood what she ant as she gritted her teeth. 'Luck? Fuck it!'
Raki rushed forward after wiping her bloody lips. "Enough chit chat, you gold bastard!"
Her grip on her swords was firm. "I will cut you in 4 pieces!"
Raki gripped her sword tight and jumped in the air. She spun in the air once and went towards... Baccarat!
Tesoro was suddenly alert! He thought the muscle brain girl would go after him, but to think she would do this...!
'Bro said I should not kill Tesoro unless it's an ergency, but he didn't say anything about others.'
Raki's swords started to leave two after-images.
"!"
The after images started to grow big, they beca many tis bigger than the actual swords and went towards the surprised Baccarat's neck.
Cling!
However, they were stopped by Tesoro's golden shield.
As Raki looked at Tesoro with darkened eyes, her eyes grew.
Gild Tesoro was using his powers to make a massive gigantic armor around his body. This was his iconic technique that he only used when he was serious.
"Uh... fuck."
While the fight was going, among the audience, a mber of the Doflamingo Pirates was hiding.
....
"Kyaa! Monsters!"
People of Gran Tesoro were running wildly. They didn't expect soone this strong to invade here, even their Hero is having a hard ti.
The concert ended after everyone ran away from their seats. Everyone was fearful of the battle, but they assud it would end soon with Tesoro on the winning side.
However, so people were praying for Tesoro's loss. They would finally be able to escape this prison nad 'Entertainnt City'.
They had their eyes on Raki, who was now solely going after Tesoro and assud herself as their hero.
'The Luck devil fruit user was taken away by the automata, this is good.'
After Shortmotor transford, he easily started to take out the subordinated. The through-through fruit user can't phase through a living being, so he was easily defeated by Motor's Shigan. He also took out the masochist guy.
After that, he went after Baccarat, though even he was unable to defeat her yet. Her luck powers were too OP.
Now, with nobody there to ss with her, Raki was thinking of going all out.
Clang!
Raki blocked Tesoro's punch using her swords. Stopping the massive fist, her arms shook. Her swordsmanship was top-notch, but her strength was asly.
1 year ago, on the moon, she faced a limit. She was 17 that year, her young mind almost collapsed from that limit.
『Females are physically weaker than males.』 This is what she learned.
Raki was weak. She once dread to protect her brother, but now, she was completely aware that it would always remain a dream. Her brother would never need her protection, simply because he was too strong and she was too weak. The gap between them was simply too huge.
『If so... then I have to stop being a woman... This ti, quite literally.』Raki thought with a dry smile.
She was always confident over the years, from the ti she first touched a sword to now. But there were so hiccups in her small and aningless life.
Last year, after she reached her limit, she started to take dicines secretly. They were supposed to change her feminine body to that of a male's...
『Brother always liked feminine girls... he won't like a girl like anymore.』That's what she thought when she raised the dicine towards her mouth a year ago...
『But it doesn't matter. I would be happy to just protect him from the sidelines.』She bit her lower lip while tears fell down.
Raki started to open the cap of the bottle and pour the liquid into her mouth, 1 bottle would be enough to change her.
This was a dicine that so particular female Aliens use. She won't have the parts of a male, but her body will change and beco too masculine for her taste. Just when she was about to put the liquid in her mouth-
She was stopped by two hands.
'Recalling that day... my cheeks hurt.' Recalling the slap she received that day, Raki crackled up.
Raki made an X with her swords and jumped towards Tesoro's massive self.
『If you ever try sothing like this again, I will kill you.』
That ti, hearing Amon, Raki cried. She wasn't familiar with her brother's cold side, but that wasn't why she cried. Rather, she was simply too happy hearing him.
『This is not a perfect dicine, but it's better than the one you were about to eat.』That's what Amon said back then while handing over another dicine to her. It was the 'Angel-formula' that helped him unlock his wings.
Raki shook her head and ignored the past. If given a second chance, she wouldn't drink that dicine that her brother made. It was too flawed in her opinion. She didn't eat the man-hormone, but rather the one Amon made, so she was still a woman.
"Fishman Karate,"
Water started to swirl around her sword and her... Wings.
Fah!
Raki's wings soared up. But she also felt pain, her white wings beca partially red because of the blood coming out of the joints. This is what she ant by the flaw.
"Twelve Sword Style,'' Just like Zoro's Asura technique, Raki started to have three images of herself attached to her. """Water Devil Incarnation."""
As Raki's voice echoed, her swords glowed blue from the water.
Pssst!
Raki's swords, clad in water, rushed forward, towards the massive armor's golden neck.
The attack was so fast, Tesoro wasn't even able to see it let alone repel it.
Ting!
One sword left a scratch on the neck.
Ting!
The second sword left a scratch bigger than before.
Ting!
The third sword left a cut in the golden armor.
Ting!
The fourth sword cut the armor deeply.
Ting!
The fifth sword left a similar cut.
Ting!
The sixth sword left a deeper cut.
Tesoro's neck was 25% severed from the body. But this wasn't enough at all.
It was then, Raki's 6 white-red wings that were soaring up beca dark, they beca ink black with blue water swirling around them.
". They are nowhere near the actual forms. Each of the true forms are enough to harm an Emperor if used correctly. Though Raki can't even use the first form properly. Her hand will break, it probably did already.'
It needed an adequate level of strength. Amon had enough to use till the 5th form. But Raki, a female like she said, didn't have that much. She was right, she was weak, but she won't always be weak if she trained while using Amon's dicines.
'People underestimate the power of science... just look at Sanji and then his brothers from Germa 66.' Amon flew fast as he finally sighted Tesoro. 'Speaking of which, Germa is good at brainwashing and cloning. I wonder how they would like a taste of their own dicine.'
Amon laughed while flying. He decided to pay a visit to Germa 66 after this was done. Ace's plan would be for later, first, he needs to take the Gene Formula from Vinsmoke Judge. This ti, he won't be a rat and offer a marriage proposal. He will just wreck them from the get-go.
Amon finally was close enough to see what Raki was doing. A smirk ford on his face seeing her grin while looking at Tesoro who was under her foot. And like he assud, her arms and wings were broken.

A/N: Many things happened in the ti-skip. The important ones would be uncovered with ti.
Btw, for those who are still unclear about it, Raki is still a girl, she didn't take the man-hormone.
