Journey to One Piece

59. Sanji joins

The 8 kunais travelled twice as fast towards Krieg. Krieg, seeing the kunai was traveling straight towards his armor, didn't even bother to dodge. The kunais hit right at the golden chest armor plate and he had a smile on his face when they hit.

But the smile turned into horror as he felt the armor plate cracking by the hit of all the 8 kunais and before he could realize what was happening, the 8 kunais went straight through the armor, though now the speed had slowed down quite a bit after hitting the golden plate.

But the speed was fast enough to insert themselves into the flesh of Krieg. If he didn't have the armor plate the kunais would surely have passed through his raw flesh.

The pieces of armor plates fell bit by bit and along with it fell drops of blood. Krieg's eyes went white. The kunais didn't just lodge itself into the flesh but also sent jolts of lightning in his body.

The penetrating power of the kunai was hard enough and on top of that he was wearing armor that was made of metal. The physics of this world was almost the same as Ken's previous world so of course Krieg was electrocuted.

And the blood loss was just a cherry on the piece of a cake.

Standing with no iris and total white eyes, Krieg fell on his back, losing consciousness. The others who were expecting a long fight just had their eyes wide open. Though Luffy declared himself as a ninja they just thought he was good at sneak attacks and being an assassin.

But this guy just soloed Krieg with one move and that too having a frontal confrontation.

Gin and Pearl were the main officers on the ship and they too who were ready to help Krieg in his attack had their legs trembling at this moment. If their captain was taken down this easily, what would become of them?

And the answer came in the next few seconds.

"You should take your captain and provide him medical attention if he wants to continue living." Ken said as he somehow appeared near them.

"Who do you think you are?" Pearl shouted as he took his huge shiny armor in his hand to hit Ken, but he was answered with a hit of Mjolnir. Just like Luffy, lightning crackled on the hammer as he hit Pearl and that sent him flying away on to the distant sea.

"Gin, do you want to join him?"

"No... No.. Please spare us. We will leave and never come back."

"Yes and leave behind all the treasures and riches that you have acquired. Including the golden armor plates and of course the guns too."

Gin gritted his teeth in anger seeing that this guy would take over everything that they had looted until now but there was nothing that he could do. He nodded his head and went on to do what he was asked for.

"Yosh!! It's done!!"

"Big Brother you are so cool."

"Luffy, you are more amazing than I thought."

"Hahaha... Of course... because I am a ninja!!!"

"Which is more exciting? Being a ninja or being the Pirate King..."

"Ummm... Unnn... I don't know.. I can't decide." Luffy as it seemed like he was in a dilemma of which was more interesting. Ken just shook his head seeing the stupidity of his brother.

"Zeff-san I hope you will keep your end of the promise." Ken said as he knew the whole premise of this was based on the fact that they would get Sanji.

"Of course, you can take Sanji away."

"I have already said that I won't leave and stop making decisions for me."

"Nobody cares about your decision Sanji. Just join us..." Luffy laughed as he had already accepted Sanji as his new friend. Nami also got to see a part of Luffy's power for the first time. Though she had seen his power before he didn't believe that this person would be able to defeat Arlong.

But after seeing the huge bounty and the first hand experience, she was half convinced that Luffy and his crew might be able to take on Arlong and his pirate group. It's just that she didn't know how the others would react if they came to know that she had joined the crew with ulterior motives.

She joined their ship to loot them in the end. And now she would be begging for help from the crew mates of the same ship. Gin needed some time to gather all the treasures so Luffy and others had to wait. Nami finally took the courage and asked Luffy for his help.

She was almost in tears asking for the help of Luffy. Luffy was silent for a second and he slowly took his straw hat and put it on her head. That silent action proved more than what Luffy could speak. She cried more when she saw that, because the straw hat of Luffy was a very important thing for him.

"Thank you... Thank you..."

This was all Nami could say at the end. Meanwhile Ken was trying to heal Zoro with the little magic that he had learnt and remembered over the years learning from Frigga. Frigga had always taught both Loki and Thor about magic and it included some healing magic too.

Of course Thor wasn't interested in those classes. But Ken did. Only after being close to 100% of Thor's character did he understand that it was not because Thor didn't want to learn magic, it was because he really had a very low aptitude for magic.

Over the years he tried to do magic, but even basic illusions were a long shot for him. But he still learnt some healing magic and he was now performing that on Zoro.

His shoulder had already been placed back in its place and all Ken was doing was healing the tissues inside that were broken due to that self mutilation. Luffy and Sanji had a long talk but at the end Sanji had decided to board the ship after Zeff himself came forward and spoke about the dream of Sanji.
