Sky Weapons

Chapter 8

…..

–General Pov–

[6 months later| Mc's age 4]

In the Northside of the Shandia hidden village, many people have spread around, training with modern weaponaries. It was clear that this place was a training ground of some sort. With giant boulders and target stones all around, it was a perfect place to train shooting.

The one's training here were mostly teenagers, with old and middle-aged men as their instructors. However, like a sore thumb, a small child with a Burn Bazooka on his hand was standing on the side with a middle-aged instructor. 

….

"Yes, you just have to press it there." The middle-aged instructor said while leaning towards Amon, the sore thumb of that place.

"Un." Nodding his head cutely, he pulled the trigger of the Burn Bazooka.

*Zzzzt!*

With a strange sound, a laser beam similar to 'Kamehameha' came out of it, going towards the giant boulder hundreds of meters ahead.

BOOM!

With a large explosion, the huge target stone got completely erased from the world…

Amon's mouth became agape seeing this, he was impressed with the weapon, 'Damn… each time I see this, I become amazed. This thing is too powerful. There aren't even any ashes left.'

"...." The instructor stayed silent.

"Damn, Amon! It took me 5 years to learn how to use a Burn Bazooka properly… yet, you learned it in less than a year." The instructor sat down crying, while wiping his tears at the same time… as Amon gave a look at him with deadpan eyes.

At first, when these types of unrealistic things occurred in front of him, he used to come up with strange theories. "Did he just really act that way? Is this even real? Maybe I'm actually in a coma and my mind is showing me this bullshit like reincarnation. How can ACTUAL people behave like this?..." However, he has already become too used to these things to act like before.

Currently, Amon just finished his training on Burn Bazooka. All the other weapons are already mastered by him.

Ignoring the Instructor, Amon started to think. 'I've been training on these only for a year now, yet I already have mastered most of them... Honestly, it's not hard with my modern knowledge. Besides, since at one point I wanted to become a Police officer, I used to love watching the firearms experiment videos on YouTube… I can't say for sure if it's fortunate or unfortunate that this world doesn't have Internet.' Amon thought as he prepared to return to his house.

"...!"

However, suddenly, he sensed two people coming towards him from behind, especially one of them rushing towards him fast…. He had already prepared an attack the moment he sensed it.

"So, you also got a hand for the Burn Bazooka too?" 

'Sigh… it's just the new Chieftain… and that girl Raki.' Confirming the presence, Amon sighed.

"Of course, big brother is the best, after all!" The 2 y/o Raki said as she jumped on his embrace. Catching her with a smile on his face, Amon then patted her head.

He then looked back at the Chief, while thinking,  'After the previous bastard's death, this guy was chosen as the new one. Him being the chief, his attire is the same as the previous one. So I sometimes want to attack him out of spite…'

After the previous Chief, who died of old age, as a tribe founded around a complete inheritance system, his son was chosen as the new Chief.  

Seeing the chief, Amon strayed to his thoughts, 'Though he is the son of the previous chief, I don't really hate him. One of the reasons being he is the same Chief from anime, in other words, me being sure that he's an easy-going soft-hearted guy. Easy to manipulate, and easy to kill if needed... He is also Isa's father.'

Thinking this, Amon pretended to act proud and said. "Grandpa chief, I already said these firearms, they are too easy!" He said with a proud grin. However, he then frowned. "But... You said you'll show me dials when I have mastery over these, didn't you?! So when will you do it?"

The chief smiled kindly hearing him. Giving someone a nice nickname will always grant you a special place for them. Moreover, with his grumpy and naive facade, it's, even more, easier to get close to others, especially old people like the chief.

The Chief made a thinking expression and then stroked Amon's head. "Kids your age aren't usually that interested in the dials and mostly care about the flashy weapons. Most dials are not for combat after all. But the main reason as to why I didn't let you learn using dials, it's because of the few deadly ones like the Impact and Reject dials…" He said the last line with seriousness. 

However, he laughed heartily. "Hahaha! Now, now, don't give me that grumpy look. Since you are asking me for a while now. I'll show you the dials. If it's you, I'm sure you won't do anything foolish with them and hurt yourself in the process." The Chief then stroked his head again, Amon acted grumpy by trying to struggle and remove his hands from his head.

The Chef then started to look around, seemingly searching for someone. He frowned and looked back at Amon. "Ah, wait a second, it will take a few minutes for me to find Warashi. He will take you to Bob's place."

Bob is the same guy who came to call Isa when the previous Chief died. Later Amon found out, he is the only guy in the tribe who can create dials, and also holds the most knowledge of them. He has met him several times before and even asked him some questions about dials, which he even answered.

'It was pretty easy to get close to him since he has a crush on Isa… Such a simp lord, he revealed confidential information that might hurt a child... I like easy to use people like him.

Yet, without the chief's permission, he didn't tell me about most of the dials. So, I only have above the  basic knowledge.'

"Sigh…" Amon released a hearty sigh. 'It would have been nice if I could train my body while researching the other things at the same time. Like the shadowy low technique… Unfortunately, there is no shortcut for me. I need to master multiple things at the same time to not fall behind.  I'm already 4 yet I'm so weak. I remember reading that Oden was able to crush bears with giant boulders at this age. Where I can hardly pick up a large boulder, let alone throw them… Damn, I'm too weak.' Amon then shook his head. 

Suddenly, he felt a nudge on his clothes. "Hey, big bro? Why are you shaking your head? Did Raki do something bad?" Raki who was in his embrace asked.

"Uh, that's not it. I'm very excited to learn about dials, so I'm just trying to keep calm, you see. After all, how can Raki do anything bad? Raki always does things as big brother says right? That's what you should do, after all." Amon said.

Hearing him she nodded and said. "Un, big brother is always right. So, Raki will do things as you say. You have 'Mantra' after all."

Instead of answering her, Amon just rubbed his cheeks against her's.

Even though he was acting all gullible on the outside, he was having a satisfactory laugh inside. 'Ahhh… isn't this awesome? She isn't scared of me like before. I feel so good.' Amon seemed very happy after making a new friend. But his thoughts took a turn the next second. 'In another few years, and she'll be a perfect girl. Someone who will move according to my thoughts… taking her own life if needed to.' Amon kissed Raki's head thinking this.

Amon decided to not think that anymore. '...Anyway, I updated my rip-off Saitama training. Now it's, in a sense, better than the original training, consisting of 200 Pushups, 200 Squats, 200 Sit-ups, and finally, 3 kilometers run…' 

Still, Amon knew that even though working out his body is good, actual battle is more effective. Battle experience is Very important in this world. For that reason, he picks fights with everyone. Kids, Adults, Raiders everyone. But the grown-up tribesmen just stroke his head and ignore him...

'Such sad… However, kids are easy. So, I have sparred with all of them in the tribe. The top punching bag being Wiper. I fought him numerous times, but he is weak. I have fought some teenagers, but they are also easily defeated. 

I only fought the adults who gave in from constant irritation. Although defeating them was a bit hard as 2 years old back then, now I can easily beat them… But the only adults I fought are civilians. The 'Raiders' are still left.'

Raiders are the ones who go to Raids. "Raid" is what the Shandians like to call their surprise attacks on pirates, who arrive at Skypiea. 'Such cheap tricks… can't say I hate it. At least this is providing good food…. Anyway, they are the strongest people in the tribe, while Viper is the strongest among them-...!'

!...Amon's observation again sensed people coming towards him. As he looked back. 'Oh, it seems the Chief has found who he was looking for.'

"Here Amon, you know him right? His name is Warashi. He will take you to Bob." The chief pointed at the teenager beside him. "Warashi, like I said, take Amon to Bob and tell him to explain all the dials to him, with the dangers included of course. Uh, also say that I'm the one to send him." The chief explained to the teenagers behind him.

Warashi is a tall, broad, and pale teenager with unkempt blond hair that goes till his shoulders. Amon obviously knows him from the manga. He even fought him 68 times. Winning all of them, of course.

Seeing the teen, Amon thought, 'Hmm, so Warashi will take me to Bob, huh… he has an idiotically serious face.'

Amon then put Raki down from his embrace. 

"Anyway, Raki be a good girl and don't cause problems. Big brother will be going now." Saying this, he looked at Warashi.

Warashi made an irritated face seeing him, while he just smiled sweetly in response. 'He must hate me for all the times I broke his bones. Heh, that hate will turn into loyalty soon enough.'

Though he was irritated, he still complied with Chief's order, and soon enough, Amon arrived at Bob the Builder's place.
