Journey to One Piece

138. One down, another one to go

"But he is a piece of shit." Vivi said as she was incensed of how this man instigated thousands of men to charge against the royal army, fully knowing that they were innocent. So many people died because of conspiracy of some other men who had ulterior motives. If they really wanted something that could have come up to them and asked for it.

The lives of the citizens were more important than some relic which almost nobody could read. It was useless to them. But no, citizens had to suffer just for one small thing. Though she did understand why the Poneglyph was so important to the World Government, but they could have at least asked them.

"He is a piece of shit. And in fact in the tall order of things his contribution is minimal to our cause, but we need a spy inside CP9 now. And from there we can spy on other CP organizations." Ken argued back.

The reason why he was saying that because the CP organizations was important for the Egghead island arc. All the CP organizations converged on that island when Straw Hats stumbled onto that legendary island. And they needed someone from the inside to find out what the hell went loose on that island.

"Luffy.. You really want to keep him relevant?" Sanji asked as he too was not so happy about him being left alone. Luffy closed his eyes for a minute and then looked at Ken and said.

"I will trust my brother on this. Anyways he is weak. We beat him once, we can beat him again."

Ken nodded his head and said to Robin

"Robin make this guy hard working, make him to tire his way out to reach the top and make his goal to enter CP0. I want him to try his best to awaken his Devil fruit. And make him forget about everything. Insert a memory that he got defeated by many people and got surrounded."

"But the World Government will definitely suspect us after Smoker releases the news of Crocodile." Robin said.

"Doesn't matter. They won't send admirals anyways and the people who can actually fight us are in the New World and they won't leave the New world for small pirates like us." Ken justified his words.

"We aren't small pirates. We have such a high bounty." Sanji said.

"If a single admiral comes, he can wipe the floor away with us and the only thing we can do is escape. And that is not possible if we include Kizaru. He can travel in the speed of light." Ken poured water into their small pride they had accumulate just because he gave them some buffs.

Luffy and Ken might be able to handle Kizaru for sometime but he had a feeling that Kizaru would still be able to hold them down. Of course if he and Luffy was able to make good progress in their character and learn Haki more deeply than it would be a totally different matter.

Everyone stiffened when Ken spoke the truth. Until this time they have been having fun and making a fool out of everyone but Ken was the one who would always tell them about the reality making sure that success didn't go on their heads. They had a long way to go to even fight against the admirals, forget about the Yonkos.

Robin herself had seen how powerful the admirals could be so she agreed with Ken the most. Then she proceeded to wipe his memories away by deleting many words from his book and then proceeded to write the story that Ken told her to.

Atfter two minutes of writing she was done. Nami came forward and gave Jabra a huge knock on his head with her staff which made him unconscious. She had been itching to do this for sometime. She had seen how the Navy had treated her village so she had special grudge against the people who wore uniforms.

More so after learning what had happened to Robin. Being an Avatar herself who had went after balance all 'his' life she now held anger against the people in authority. Jabra of course who was on the verge of waking after getting beat by Ken, lost his conscious again.

Meanwhile, Koza along with the remaining men slowly inched towards the Straw Hats. They had fear in their eyes as they came forward. They had just witnessed an epic fight, a fight that even they themselves couldn't imagine in their wildest dreams. They had naturally heard of men capable of amazing things with devil fruits but it was definitely the first time for them to watch a fight in such a massive scale

But the important thing was that they had been conned before. They needed to understand what exactly was going on. It was Vivi who went forward and spoke with Koza and gave a detailed information of what actually was going on. Of course, one of the men questioned if whatever Vivi spoke was the truth. Sure Jabra instigated the men to come out and fight, but the main problem still remained.

And that was water.

"In a few days, the navy will announce that Crocodile had been conspiring against the citizens of Alabasta and will get an official explanation. If you are not happy, you can come at us. We will happily welcome you with our fists." Ken said as his eyes flickered in lightning. His imposing manner scared the shit away of the men who were still not happy with whatever happened.

For a second they had forgotten how powerful these men were.

While the men felt weak in their knees, there was a different story happening in the royal palace. Ussop was waiting alone with Cobra and was getting bored. Chaka and Pell were at the main gates looking an eye out for everything.

Chaka was with some guards on one gate while Pell was at the other gate.
