Journey to One Piece

41. Dead



41. Dead

"Captain? Captain? Who are you calling Captain here? I am the only Captain here." Buggy said as he brought out sharp knives and placed them on his knuckles to kick the butts of these three who had angered him to the extreme.

"I am talking about your previous Captain. Do you think his soul would be in peace seeing how you are now?" Ken said as he reminded Buggy of Roger who was his previous Captain. And after saying this to Buggy, for the first time he shuddered.

He understood what Ken meant by his previous Captain. Like other guys he wasn't powerful enough to roam the sea and be brave, so he came to the weakest sea and tried to make a living. But of course, he was having 'fun'.

"You...You... How do you know him? Did you come here to arrest me? Are you from the navy?" Buggy was a little scared as he thought his main secret was exposed and the navy had come to catch him. He had been hiding all these years. It would all go down the drain if he was caught.

"Relax Buggy. We came here for two purposes. One is for the Grand Line Chart and the other is to give you a piece of news. Plus we are pirates not navy. Don't confuse us with those pigs." Ken said. From the words of Ken, it seemed like he really didn't like the navy.

But of course Buggy didn't believe him a bit and attacked without even thinking of surprising the other party about his devil fruit. His hands got separated from his body. This surprised Luffy and Zoro as they didn't expect that a person could do that.

"Devil Fruit?"

But it was too late as the small knives were already near the face of Ken. Ken just punched the incoming hand with a bolt of lightning. Buggy felt the pain instantly, Though the lightning didn't travel to his body, he definitely felt the pain.

The other crew members who were smiling and thinking that this would end soon were dumbfounded. What the hell? Lightning punch? After a moment of surprise, they all got angry and charged at the trio. Luffy was ready to make moves but it was Zoro this time who was faster.

He brought out the two swords and this time he did a different style.

"Fifth Fang: Crazy Cutting."

Zoro jumped in the air and waved his two swords in all directions except towards Luffy and Ken. The slices were generated rapidly and it traveled in all directions. Even the two right hand and left hand crew members of the pirates were in the aim of Zoro's move.

This move justified the name Crazy Cutting. None of them were able to escape. Nami, who was hidden far away, was scared shitless as she saw that. Zoro's name was infamous all over East Blue.

But this Ken? Lightning in his hands? How? Was it Devil Fruit?

Buggy who was in pain finally got up. He could see that his crew members were bleeding in many places. And even the powerful Lion that was under his crew member was wincing in pain. Zoro had taken them down with just a single move.

When did East Blue become so powerful? Buggy had been in the Grand Line so he could understand that even if he was able to escape the hands of Zoro, the lightning kid was more dangerous. Probably lightning Logia. If it was, then he would be done for so it was better he could negotiate.

It didn't matter how he knew his past! Life comes first.

" I will give you a chart of the Grand Line. Just leave me alone." Buggy said.

"See that is not so hard. Told you Luffy." Ken said.

"Hahaha.. Seems like you do understand our words.... Hahaha." Luffy smiled like an idiot. Nami and Zoro's face twitched after hearing the words of Luffy. 'You just forced them to compensate.'

Buggy went back to his room and brought out another chart that he had in his treasure trove. He had been to the Grand Line so of course he had a better chart. Stealing Morgan's chart was just for fun.

Buggy was holding his right hand which had been charred black by now as he gave the chart to Ken as he expected Ken to be the Captain. If Luffy would have heard his thoughts, he would have got hit by lightning again. And this time it would have been from the mouth of Luffy himself.

"There you have it. Go away. I don't want to see your face again." Buggy gritted his teeth. Coming from the Grand Line this was the first time he had experienced such humiliation. A lightning kid and a swordsman was enough to lay waste to the whole party of his.

Ken, Luffy and Zoro also started walking away. but Ken stopped as Buggy was spacing out and looking at his crew members.

"Your crew is fine. They aren't hurt exactly. And with little medical assistance they would be fine. But I wonder who will help you in this town as you have laid waste to it." Ken mocked Buggy.

"That's none of your business, just go away."

"Yeah. That's none of my business... Oh yeah the thing that I wanted to tell you as you might not have heard." Ken continued.

"Heard what?" Buggy now was more irritated.

"Kozuki Oden is dead!!!"

Those words struck like lightning at Buggy. He was sad that he got humiliated and was beaten down so soon. But from another point of view he wasn't exactly hurt. He only backed off because he could tell that the other person might have a logia fruit so he didn't want to entangle but the words of Ken hit Buggy like a bull.

Oden was one his seniors and even sailed for a long time with him when they sailed in the Grand Line.

And now this guy was saying that his ex team member had died!!
