Journey to One Piece

75. What a bitch!

"That's none of your business." Smoker got agitated when he was asked that. It was as if Ken had poked a small wound that should not be touched. He again took his weapon and tried hitting Ken only to be deflected by his hammer.

Ken had controlled his power but Smoker felt a huge force being transferred to his body from his seastone weapon. He had taken a few steps back and held his hand with the other to even realize that the massive force that just got passed to him.

"What kind of monster are you?" Smoker asked as he didn't expect a teenager to have that kind of strength.

"Luffy, go to the ship. I will come soon." Ken said.

"But how will you defeat this smokey?"

"I will take care of it. I have my own means." Ken assured Luffy.

"Okay. Be there. On time." Luffy said and then he vanished using the Body Flicker Jutsu. Smoker elementalized himself and threw a punch at Luffy who had gone quite the distance, but this was again stopped by Ken.

Ken threw Mjolnir which disrupted Smoker's attack and he had to bring his 'hand' back. Magically, the hammer returned back to Ken. Smoker was more surprised by this. He could already say that Ken had something to do with lightning.

But this phenomenon of hammer returning back to the owner. This was the first one.

"You are going to stop me, Punisher?"

"Speak some sensible words. Will you? He is my captain. Will an able minded person just let some random marine touch his captain?"

"Pirates betray each other all the time. Especially people like you. Both of you have the same bounty. One person is bound to be jealous of the other. In fact I can see that you are more powerful than him. Why are you even with the Straw Hat?"

"Smoker. Are you seriously this dumb or just acting like dumb? This action of growing seeds of jealousy is very low level. Try this with someone else. And do more research when you go after pirates. You seem like you know nothing of us." Ken said as he slowly brought out Stormbreaker.

He was going to use both of the weapons in this fight. Smoker wasn't like Garp. From this attack he had established that Mjolnir wasn't effective against Logia. So Logia still needed Haki. His dream of beating logia without Armament just went down the drain.

Smoker had always been the aim of Ken from the start. His logia wasn't really powerful, not that it mattered since he had the body of Thor but nobody was insane enough to suffer the freezing cold of Aokiji or the magma of Akainu just to see if Mjolnir would work on them. Smoker was the safe option after that "Hishashiburidana Mugiwara" Warlord.

Smoker got irritated after being berated by a pirate. He transformed more than 80% of the body of smoke and surrounded the entire body of Ken from all sides, giving him no option to escape. Ken just smiled at it and raised both his weapons high in the air. And with one swipe lightning ran down from above. The black clouds that had been gathering above for quite some time finally showed their might.

The smoke that was all around the place dissipated. Dust and debris were blown up and they were everywhere. Smoker had come back to his original body. He didn't expect that this Punisher Kenny could come with such an attack.

Lightning from heaven itself. The term monster would undermine this guy. If he wasn't a logia he might have actually died in that attack. Smoker was waiting for the dust to settle but Ken wasn't having any of it. Since he had Observation Haki he already knew where Smoker was and attacked with his Stormbreaker.

But Smoker seems to have been on alert and had already elementalized. The attack went through his head without hurting him. But this wasn't over, Ken twisted his body midair and while in the air he caught the hand of Smoker. The hand that was holding the weapon. Smoker who had elementalized had already sensed a powerful hand had caught him.

And without much thought he delivered an electric shock. Smoker by instinct again made his hand turn into smoke so he didn't get electrocuted. And that was the mistake.

Smoker's hand let go of the seastone weapon. This was the aim for Ken. His weapon. Their crew didn't have a seastone weapon to boot. Now he had one. He always believed in his strength but there should always be a backup plan or else he would be like Luffy, hanging on thread and just away his cheap life.

Since he didn't know about Armament Haki it was better to get one of the best things to handle it.

Smoker didn't expect that. He was so engrossed in the monstrosity and how easily he was being manhandled that he had forgotten that his own weakness was his own weapon and now he just lost it due to momentary carelessness. The dust had already settled and Smoker got to see Ken again. This time instead of the hammer he was holding his very own weapon.

A weapon that was his nemesis.

"Punisher Kenny, you are more cunning than you let people."

"No, my dear Smokey, it's just that you are weak and think every pirate here is beneath you. You got complacent. You are so old and you still don't know haki. Don't you feel ashamed that people from your age are at Vice -Admiral Rank. You have logia. People in the headquarters would scream to have your logia fruit. It's a waste of a devil fruit on you."

"You little bitch.." Smoker got incensed and punched at Ken with his fist while turning half of it into smoke. Ken had already expected and dodged and just used the tip of his new weapon and stabbed at Smoker's hand.

It was lucky that the weapon wasn't sharp or else he would have lost his hand in that.
