Journey to One Piece

149. Dreams

"Ken.. No.." Luffy called out, but Ken paid no attention and just walked in to the bar. The people in the bar were still laughing and cheering.

"I didn't know that there were still some fools out there. Hahaha."

"Hahaha.. Sky Island.. These bunch of idiots even believe that.."

"Hahaha.. I heard that one guy on the other side of the island had been searching for the lost kingdom...."

The talks were rampant when Ken went and sat in a chair. The waiter took note of his arrival and brought him a beer. Bellamy was busy drinking his alcohol when Ken suddenly turned to him and said,

"How is Doflamingo treating you?"

Ken's words were distinct enough to be heard by most of the people, even though there were loud cheers all around. It was as if he had used some kind of magic in his speech that compelled everyone to listen. Bellamy, who was about to chug the alcohol, stopped in his tracks and looked at him with dangerous eyes.

"What did you say? Say that again.." Doflamingo asked.

"I was asking how your favorite young master is treating you." Ken asked again as he took a sip of the sake that was brought to him. Though Ken had been quite respectful in asking about Doflamingo, Bellamy could see the mockery in his eyes.

He could see that Ken was looking down on him because he considered him to be Doflamingo's subordinate and felt like he didn't have much respect for Doflamingo either. He wanted to punch this guy at that moment itself but stopped. The only reason being that this guy, who knew that he was a subordinate of Doflamingo, might be pretty well connected.

If he was a friend of Doflamingo, then this guy was someone important. But still, Bellamy was furious.

"What does Young Master's treatment have to do with you?" Bellamy asked, accepting the fact that he belonged to Doflamingo.

"Nothing. I just came to see someone who is worth nothing in the eyes of your young master." Ken said it in a calm and casual tone. This brought complete silence to the bar. Many of them even forgot to gag down the alcohol that was poured into their mouths. Most of the people here knew of Doflamingo.

He was a Shichibukai who even lived in the New World, and most of the people here belonged to the crew, and they knew that they worked for Doflamingo. This broke the dam for Bellamy, as his cup of alcohol broke while he was clenching it very hard.

Bellamy looked at the calm eyes of Ken, and slowly an arc formed in his mouth. He had never felt so insulted before.

"You know who I am, and yet you came here to confront me." Bellamy asked.

"You are just a nobody in this vast ocean. You don't even have the guts to live for your own dreams and slave away for someone else who doesn't even care for you." Ken laid out harsh words for him just out in the open.

This was it for Bellamy.

With no concern about the surroundings, he punched Ken sideways. Ken, who was busy drinking, dove to avoid the side punch. He did so even while drinking and even made sure that the alcohol wasn't spilled anywhere.

This sudden attack didn't surprise the crewmates or the people present. But Ken's clean way of avoiding the attack surprised everyone. But this didn't matter to Bellamy. His arms slowly changed into springs, and without any care, he punched Ken.

This time too, the same things happened. He avoided the second and all the consecutive punches from his hands, which Ken just received while still holding on to his mug. Though Ken was avoiding them very cleanly, it didn't mean the bar was able to avoid the punches. The chairs, the tables, the alcohol bottles—everything was getting damaged with each unsuccessful move of his.

Within a few seconds, the whole bar was in shambles, and everyone had to run out. Ken, too, after putting the mug down, got out, followed by Bellamy.

"If you have the guts, face me like a man instead of running away like a chicken." Bellamry roared. Luffy, Zoro, and Nami just stood by the side as they saw their brother come out. Luffy and Zoro didn't have any emotions, while Nami had a wide grin. She was having her revenge.

"As I said. You are a nobody. I don't even need my hands to teach you a lesson." Ken said. This angered Bellamy, and immediately a rash formed on his calves. Then he proceeded to charge his speed by jumping all around, just like he did with Luffy before getting beaten up.

Ken just stood there, waiting for him to make his move. Since this guy didn't understand the gap between them, it was time he did.

"How dare you look down upon Doflamingo? He is a great man. He is the strongest. He is a Shichibukai. How come a nobody like you could ever understand him.."

"You think you are better than him. I will show you that you can't even reach his shoes. It's best you die here before you embarrass yourself in front of him."

Bellamy went on a rant while he was charging himself by jumping on the various places around. Ken was just silent, and he stood there blankly.

"How dare you say such things about our captain?" Bellamy, teach him a lesson, and then throw him into the sea."

"Beat him up."

"Yes. Yes."

Such loud cheers were heard around, but reality slapped them right in the face.

Bellamy found his legs fully charged and went forward to deliver his deadliest strike. But just before his knuckles could even reach the face of Ken, Ken ducked and proceeded to use his back foot to deliver a deadly strike down on Bellamy's back. This move was done while he was using Armament Haki.

Everyone around instantly heard the crunching sound of the bones. Ken had just broken his spine in multiple places with this move of his.
