Journey to One Piece

316. What a scam!

"I want to but I don't think the country is ready to handle another battle. Your last battle sucked away the moisture from the environment and if there is another , the people around will collapse in dehydration. Seriously, you are a headache to the navy." Fujitora said as he sheathed his sword and cooled down. 

Ken just looked at him and with his future sight he knew that this guy was talking the truth. 

"How was the welcome, you liked it?" Ken asked with his sarcastic smile. 

"The son of the sea lives up to his name." Fujitora said as he didn't seem to mind the mocking of Ken. 

"Tch.. You are no fun to talk to." Ken replied. Luffy and Law seeing that everything was fine and there was no subsequent fight cooled down to and Luffy got more curious about the blind man and they both hit it off together. Ken could only shake his head. Luffy always liked Fujitora like he liked Smoker and even now it was the same. 

The war was coming. Hopefully they wouldn't be thrown into the fate and force to battle each other. 

Meanwhile King Riku met up with Viola and the rest of the crew of Straw hats too. He thanked them profusely. But soon the people came forward and wanted him back as the King of Dressrosa. he refused at the beginning but the people remembered him to be the good king and at this moment they wanted him to be the same old king again. Finally he accepted his old post and promised to be better and bring peace to the country. 

Kyros and Rebecca decided they needed to be better father and daughter, thus opting out of the politics. King Riku also apologized to the Princess of Tontatta tribe and promised that he would make it up to them. 

It was a great reunion. The Yonko pirates after the bird cage crumbled, ran away. The defeated ones were still not in their full power and their minions were scared when they saw the bird cage and the heat they had experienced. They didn't know what had gone down but they knew that they needed to get out. 

One of them had even informed that he had seen Fujitora and they weren't powerful enough to face them. Only the higher command could handle those kind of people. They were arrogant but not enough to overlook their own demise. 

Soon the whole country came to know what had gone down. And later at the presence of people and the media persons he bowed down and asked for forgiveness for what the World Government had done to the country. Of course he did this alone and the rest of the Navy weren't with him as Jinbe hadn't let them inside the country. 

Akainu was furious when he came to know and he wanted to talk with Fujitora. He called up another guy who was in the country and asked for his help. Though both of them didn't have a great relationship, he hoped that the man would help him. 

The man was Sengoku. 

He was in Dressrosa too and Jinbe had allowed him to come in. After the whole fiasco, Ken had come down with Luffy and Law and they ended up meeting Sengoku. The old man with white beard and hair, he went into defensive mode and almost ready to fight Ken. 

"Calm down, old man. We are not here to fight and you will lose anyways." Ken said. Sengoku shuddered and said. 

"It won't matter. I ain't the Fleet Admiral anymore." Sengoku said and he let go of his defensive mode. In fact, all of this was a scam shown by Ken and Sengoku. Sabo had already changed his mind and he was in active contact with Sabo and the Revolutionary Army and they had been able to get info of all the Navy supply lines. 

But Dragon knew better and didn't attack the lines. If he was going to hit them, he would hit them in one go, destroying the logistics and make sure the transition was smooth enough. The Revolutionary Army was being clever about it and Ken had always told him that revolution was fine, but a revolution without a proper after game plans was just as bad as the pre-revolution time. 

In his previous world, this had been the lesson every time and he didn't want to see that here again. Dragon seemed to have heeded his words as Sabo relayed that so he had been trying to actively engage in better politics in his conquered islands. 

"Why are you here?" Ken asked, playing his part. 

"I am here to talk with him." Sengoku said as he looked at Law. Ken nodded and gave them space. He vanished from the place as he needed to go and meet some people while the other Straw Hats had their fun with people and food. 

When Ken appeared next, it was on one of the Yonko boats. The boat of Big Mom. Big Mom surprisingly didn't send for her main ship and sent one of a lesser ship. As soon as Ken appeared he was charged with pirates of the Big Mom, and even wrapped up in bandage guy Charlotte Perospero did the same, but of course everyone them were thrown away with one 'Shinra Tensei.'

"Guys, you need to learn more about how I attack. Every single time I face the same thing and every single time I have to handle your bullshit." Ken said. 

Smoothie commanded everyone to back down as she feared this person was more pwerful than his brother and maybe only Katakuri would be able to handle this devil of a man. His brother was already a menace and defeated them, so she knew when to stop. 

"What do you want? To rub us on our face that you won? Heh.. When my mother comes, you will run away like a runt on his death legs." Smoothie said.
