Chapter 160 - Chapter 162 (1/2)
A few days after the war with Kaido, Amell was sitting inside his office with Sylvia on his lap. They were reading the newspaper and laughing together, ”I didn't think it was possible for you to be any more famous than you already are, honey.” Sylvia said and sipped on her tea.
”Yeah, my attention was never to garner more attention on me. I am of your mindset, I wholeheartedly believe the fame I already had was enough.” Amell changed the page in the paper and out from it fell a bounty poster. He caught it in his grip before it escaped his reach. He placed it on the table and when he saw it he shook his head and sighed out loud.
”What do they expect will happen by increasing my bounty?” He showed it to Sylvia and she shrugged her shoulders at it.
”I don't know, honey. But your bounty is starting to become impressive.” She said calmly.
”So it wasn't impressive before? When was the last time you had a five billion bounty?” Amell laughed casually and took a sip of his whiskey.
”That was not what I meant, and you know it. But isn't your bounty the highest in history now? A little over six and a half billion. That's a lot.” Sylvia said and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
”I don't know. Bounty has never been anything I care a lot about. But I think mine is highest, but who cares.” Amell burned the bounty and placed a hand on her belly and smiled. ”The only thing that matter to me is you and this little human growing inside of you.” He said calmly while carefully rubbing her belly.
”Yeah, about that. Are we sure our baby will be human?” Sylvia said to him.
”What do you mean?” Amell looked at her with confusion evident on his face.
”I mean, with all the things you can do, are you sure that you're human still?” Sylvia raised a good question. Amell hadn't thought about that in many years. What was he? He convinced himself for a long time that he was and will always be human. But maybe Sylvia was right, maybe he had somehow transcended his own race.
After some quick thinking, he answered, ”I don't think that is something we have to worry about, love. Even if I am not a human, I am still our babies father, and you better believe I will rip apart anyone coming to hurt our family.” Amell said seriously.
”That's fine and all, but try and not do that a lot in front of our baby, we don't wanna traumatize our child,” Sylvia said with a smile.
”I promise.”
Sylvia nodded in satisfaction, ”Now, what's our next step? Are you gonna take over Kaido's territory together with the other three?”
”No! I will not remove the emperor system entirely. I will just remodel it slightly. I will never use the Gotei to rule without mercy. Like in the Elemental Nations, I will make sure things are fair, but I will use the emperors as peacekeepers over the world, and they will work for the Gotei.”
”Are you sure you can control, Big mom and the others. Whitebeard I don't think will go along with this.” Sylvia said, seeming quite troubled by this.
