Journey to One Piece

88. I just came here to talk

"What?" Mr. 3 who had been casual all this time and was having tea with Miss Golden week stood up.

"Not only that. Some crew members also have very high bounties, closer to Mr. 0."

"Our Mr. 0 is far more powerful. His bounty was 80 million before he became a Shichibukai. Don't judge a person by the bounty."

"I know but that doesn't change the fact that these people have more bounties than us and even Mr 0."

Ken listened to the whole conversation and smiled. He didn't expect that their news had already reached his ears even after they had been very careful. Not killing those bounty hunters in Whiskey Peak had its cost.

"Your friends are here."

"I don't have friends." Robin retorted when Ken spoke to her.

"You can't live alone in the sea, Robin."

The others had already left so they didn't hear the conversation between him and Robin. Of course, Igaram could get what Ken was pointing at but again he was surprised how Ken knew that some officer agents were here.

"How do you know that some officer agents are here?" Igaram couldn't help but ask.

"There is something called Observation Haki. I think you have heard of that." Both Robin and Igaram had their eyes wide open when Ken said those words. They did hear of Haki before but they only heard stories of it and nothing else. This is the first time they heard someone speak of using it.

"You can use Haki?"

"Well, there are three types of Haki. I am proficient in only one. Nothing major. Now let me take care of these agents." Ken took his Stormbreaker and flew off.

Igaram and Robin were a little speechless about how easily he just flew off and of how casually he spoke of Haki. It was said that only the top marines and the pirates of the New World knew about it and this pirate who had come from the weakest sea knew about this.

Meanwhile, Ken dropped directly near the small candle house that Mr. 3 had made and regarded as their temporary home.

"This isn't vacation time."

Ken did some hand signs and blew fire from his mouth at the end that ignited the flammable candle home easily.

"Hot... Hot... Hot.. "

"Ahhh.. Who is the asshole that ignited my home.."

"Ahhh."

All the 3 officer agents came running out while shouting and cursing. But they stopped on their tracks when they saw Ken standing a small distance away with his Stormbreaker.

"You.. You are the Punisher?"

"You spoke so much of us a few seconds ago. Why are you so surprised?"

"Ummm. You were spying on us? We just spoke some good words for you. To what do we owe the pleasure of meeting such a high esteemed pirate? We are nobodies and just on a vacation here." Mr.3 was still holding on to the hope that Ken didn't know anything and was just here by coincidence and didn't hear the whole conversation.

"Do you think I am a fool that I won't recognize that you three are officer agents after abducting your Miss All Sunday?"

"What?"

"You kidnapped the partner of Mr. 0?"

"Stop calling him Mr. 0. It's useless to hide his identity. You just boost his ego by calling him such code names. It serves no purpose."

Mr. 3 and Miss Goldenweek were silent and they didn't know how to refute Ken's words. They could easily take his name when they talk of him in private conversation but they refrained from doing so out of fear.

"You kidnapped Miss All Sunday? I will take you down." Mr. 2 wasn't paying attention to the words of Ken and attacked with his pointed foot at the face of Ken. Ken had already expected this and just casually swatted his attack.

The next moment Mr. 2 cried out in pain! He didn't expect that the moves he was most proud of were so easily handled by Ken and he didn't even use Haki. If it was Haki then it would have been more painful for Mr. 2. Mr. 3 and Miss Goldenweek didn't expect that Mr. 2 had such a high sense of loyalty and would attack the Punisher after he got to know about the kidnapping of Miss. All Sunday.

Mr. 3, didn't want to just see his partner get beaten up so he used his Devil Fruit. He raised his arm and threw a huge wave of molten candle at Ken. Ken just shook his head and just blew fire from his mouth at the molten candle.

Just like the previous time, the candle caught fire and Mr. 3 started screaming. But in that moment, the candle lit fire was poured in the body of Mr. 2 who was still reeling in pain. Ken didn't want Mr. 2 to get hurt in this small interaction and just wanted to talk.

He came and helped Mr.2 to get rid of the molten candle. Mr. 3 and Miss Goldenweek who had run quite a distance away to be away from the fire saw this and were astonished. He had to run away because he was the candle man and he would be attracted to fire more and the little officer agent girl was more scared of fire as she was just a small girl at this point.

"You ok?" Ken asked.

"Yes.. yes... I am alright.. Eh! Why did you help me?"

"I am here to talk. I never said that I came to fight. It was you who had thought that I came to fight."

"But you kidnapped Miss All Sunday. Why will you just come to talk?"

"She is different. She will join our crew. It has nothing to do with her involvement with Crocodile and Baroque Works."

"Miss All Sunday will never betray us."

Ken just smiled at it and didn't bother arguing with Bon-clay. He was a loyal person and someone who took friendship seriously and in a way was kind of an idiot like Luffy. But then again, these idiots were the ones who were responsible for one of the greatest feats.
