Title: Butterfly flaps its wings again...

….

Same time, in Alabasta, the doctors were in disbelief.

"Nurse… Am I the only one seeing this?" The doctor asked as the nurses shook their heads with wide mouths.

"The bones that entered his organs… they are coming out of his body by themselves if that's not a miracle then what is?!"

The doctors sighed in relief, this was good, it meant there was a chance for Amon to survive, meaning they won't be executed.

Meanwhile, Amon laid down with his eyes closed, fully concentrating on cleaning his body.

Exactly 12 hours later, in the morning – Raki managed to reach Alabasta from Gran Tesoro – that was in the New World at that time.

Instantly after arriving here, she tried to break into the palace. The guards didn't recognize her and stopped her aggressively, but before something cliche could have happened, the Commander of the Royal Guards, Falcon dude, noticed her and guided her to a luxurious room with two guards standing at the door.

Just as Raki was about to run inside through the door with Shortmotor, the guards blocked their path by crossing their spears.

"Please wait here, nobody is supposed to go inside without permission." The guards said as they glanced at Pell the Falcon, who had a frown on his face. "Not even you, sir. Princess Vivi is inside since the Prince just woke up a while ago, she is feeding him breakfast and asked to make sure that no one will disturb them."

Raki snapped hearing him as she grabbed the guard by his collar. "You fucking idiot, do you know who you are stopping? Want me to massacre your whole family and the next generations??"

"C-Control yourself—" The guard tried to retort, but Raki yelled.

"Shut up!" 

The guard's face paled from the killing intent he was feeling. He wanted to move and let her go inside now, but he was too scared to even move. But mistaking this as a form of oppression, Raki grabbed her sword and swung it towards his neck.

However, as the sword was about to separate the man's neck, a blood-red shield with royalish features popped up out of nowhere and blocked Raki's sword.

Raki frowned as the sword only halfway cut the shield, making sand fall from the cut.

"Calm down, sister-in-law." A young feminine voice said.

Turning her head around, Raki looked at the culprit with wide eyes, it was Vivi. She used her sand to form a blood-red shield between the two. Her fruit allowed granting color to her creations, like how Crocodile formed Steel colored blades using his sand.

With sweat dripping down her cheek, Raki kept looking at Vivi with wide eyes. It wasn't her strongest attack, but to block it meant - "Pfft…" Raki laughed before grinning and putting her sword back to her scabbard. "You are not a weakling anymore, huh." she licked her lips. "Good girl."

Vivi didn't react and turned around... She glanced at Raki from the corner of her eyes and said, "A small piece of advice, don't start fighting without talking things out first. Anyway, follow me if you want to see your brother."

While looking at her back with a grin on her face but indifferent gaze within her eyes, Raki followed behind her along with Shortmotor.

The room was very rich, with many gorgeous furniture around. There were paintings stuck in the walls, and on the middle wall of the room, there was a massive clock. Below the clock was a bed, a bed that could take a full family of 4.

Instantly as Raki entered the room, all her indifference disappeared in thin air as her eyes grew up after her gaze landed on the person laying on the bed. 

It was a person covered in bandages. It was Amon.

He was staring at the ceiling while one of his legs was raised upwards by more bandages tied to a stand. Although – other than his mouth and eyes – his face was also mostly covered by bandages, his blood-red eyes filled with ambitions were enough for Raki to recognize who he was.

She instantly ran past Vivi and stood beside Amon.

"Bro, is that you? Are you dead?!"

"..."

Amon, averting his gaze to her face, was at loss for words seeing how dumb her question was.

He spoke barely in a still voice: "I am not dead, crazy female..."

"O-oh, good then." Raki breathed a sigh of relief and was about to hug him tightly. "Oh, brother! I was so worried…"

However, a pair of hands popped up from the ground and stopped her from hugging him.

"Calm down." Vivi's voice interrupted her as walked close towards the two of them and sat down on a chair beside Amon, on the opposite side of the bed than Raki. "Can't you see his injuries? You will hurt him by hugging him, you brute."

A frown appeared on Raki's face as she looked at her scornfully. "Little bitch, aren't you 14? Didn't your mother teach you how to speak to your elders – oops, I forgot she died young, right? How sad~"

Vivi's face darkened but she didn't say anything. She just picked up a bowl from the side box of the bed and started to 'fuu' the food in the bowl. It was chicken soup, the doctor said Amon should eat this until he gets better.

Vivi completely ignored Raki and thought of the Doctor's words. 'Doc said he will be fine in 4 months, though Hubby says he will be able to walk in 2 more weeks.'

She grabbed the spoon and raised it toward Amon's face.

"Hubby, say Aaah."

"Aaah…. Nom. Fuck, this tastes shit."

"Hubby, I get it but you have to eat to get healed quickly."

"Mhm…."

Raki stared at the scene with deadpan eyes. Before sighing, she was worrying too much. He was injured, sure, but he had received similar injuries 2 more times in the past 4 years. The first was just 3 months after reaching the moon, Amon had underestimated the aliens and received compensation based on his actions. The 2nd was 3 year after reaching the moon… that was horrific.

Raki didn't want to recall that incident and rather shifted her attention to Amon.

"Brother," she made a serious face. "Who did this? I will kill him, so tell me."

Amon, who opened his mouth to take in another spoonful, closed his mouth. He didn't want to say it to Raki yet when he can't move, or the stubborn girl will definitely get herself killed. 

Before Amon was forced to lie, another presence entered the room rendering Amon to sigh in relief.

"Raki, don't even think about it. Your brother lost, you are weaker than him." It was Robin who placed her hands on Raki's shoulders while frowning sharply. "It is a person out of your reach, weak girl."

Robin, who was out and talking with the doctor the whole time, reached this place only to find the two girls quarreling among themselves.

«...★...»

In Onigashima, Kaido was sitting on his butt while gulping booze.

"Gah! That was a great fight!" with a small grin on his face, Kaido laughed. "Wororo! Even though that kid only defended the whole time, he somehow managed to injure me in the eye at the end!" 

Kaido laughed while King, who was standing beside him, looked at his right eye, there was a missing eyeball in the socket.

King said, "Kaido-sama, you aren't supposed to be happy after losing an eye…." he just sighed seeing Kaido didn't care about his statement. "Are you sure you don't need an eye patch though? You might fright the other members of the Beasts Pirates."

Kaido didn't respond to him instantly and rather took a mouthful of booze. 

"King, I don't want to hide my scars. My scars are my pride, hiding them would make me a coward! I don't do that! Wororo!" Kaido said while tears fell from his left eye like a fountain. 

Suddenly coming out of his comical phase, Kaido asked the king, "Oh, that's right. What happened to Yamato? She seemed sad the last time I saw her. She didn't even come to meet me after I returned, what a bad kid."

Hearing Kaido, the aura around King's body stiffened. "Kaido-sama… Yamato-sama says he would train with you, he wants to become strong. Strong enough to hunt down the culprit by himself and get the diary back."

Kaido's single eye widened in disbelief before he laughed out loud. "Wororo! Finally! Finally! That brat Yamato is finally acting like he should, like my son!"

Kaido was more than happy. Yamato is THE most talented individual he knew, even more talented than the kids of Big Mom. If someone like her trained diligently under him, the Strongest Creature, then only God knew how far she would reach.

A person who learned Advanced Conqueror's Haki just by imitating her father, a person with such talent – what will happen when she stands against Amon after receiving training from her father?
