Journey to One Piece

46. King of Pirates

"Let go of Young Miss, you bastard."

"Why are you doing this Kurohadol, if you want money the mansion can provide you, just leave her alone."

"..."

Those words were thrown at Kuro as he had walked away while holding Kaya. Luffy and others just looked at him as he had stepped out of the gate. Nobody stopped him. Ken looked at Luffy and said

"Captain, what do you want to do?"

"Since he is a bad guy, I will punch him." Luffy said

"Then he is yours. Zoro there will be a pirate group approaching soon. You can try your sword skills on them."

"Oh really? What will you do?" Zoro said.

"I will just eat and hum songs to myself." Ken smiled. he did what he needed to do. Luffy was very strong now and he didn't think Kuro would be a problem. And Zoro was already too OP for east Blue so it was better for them to have fun. He would just wait for the end and sleep.

Kuro had already vanished in the nearby forest. Seeing that nobody had come after him, Kuro took Kaya on his shoulder and made a run. Little did he know that Luffy was already following him like a hungry wolf.

Zoro, bent his right leg and crouched on the ground and put his hand sideways and said as he breathed air from his mouth.

"Seventh Form: Spatial awareness."

After a few seconds he got the general position of the people on the island. This form allowed Zoro to pinpoint his enemies and allies. This was like Observation haki but he could only use it on beast breathing style. But as a style it was very powerful as the whole island was covered by his spatial awareness.

After finding out where this new pirate group was he ran, it was Ken who shouted to stop him.

"Zoro, please don't get lost. You have spatial awareness. If you feel you are not able to find your enemies, use your seventh form as much as possible. We can't go in search of you every-time."

"Oye, I can find my enemies. You don't have to care."

"If you get lost I will throw you to the sea." Ken warned. After seventh form, if he still gets lost then it would be shameful in the name of beast breathing style. Zoro had already started running one one direction. Ken used his Haki to feel if Zoro was going in the right direction and surprisingly he was. Maybe Zoro could be saved after all!!!

Ussop was having a crisis of his life meanwhile. He saw his good friend taken away and he could do nothing. She was kidnapped while he was just pointing his pachinko balls with his slingshot and getting scared. He didn't have the balls to go and help Kaya. He was ashamed. He just laid down in the grass not knowing what to do.

"You don't have to worry. Kaya will be safe. Luffy has gone after him."

"How do you know? He is a real pirate. The bounty on him is so high. Is Luffy strong enough?" Ussop was really scared. He wanted to go after Kuro but didn't know how.

"Ussop, have faith in Luffy. He might be stupid at times but when it comes to serious matter he is dependable. Only thing you need to do for you is that you need to overcome your fear. You fear the pain, the death, the suffering. Any human being will go through that. Only thing you can do is try to live above it." Ken said as he too had started walking away followed by Nami who was following Ken.

She didn't have much tension like Ussop or the guards in the mansion. She had seen how powerful Luffy and Zoro were and she was pretty sure that Kaya would be saved so she didn't care. Ussop just looked blankly at Ken, then he remembered how Ken had hit Kuro with his axe.

Maybe the Captain was as powerful as Ken. Seeing a ray of hope he ran towards Ken. He had seen how fast Luffy and Zoro had gone away so he could only pin his hopes on Ken. These guards would be helpless in front of real pirates anyway. He would rather trust someone who had connections with his father rather than some guards.

"Ken, why don't we go and help Luffy. Maybe he needs our help." Ussop was anxious as he said that.

"As I said trust in Luffy. He is more amazing than you think." Ken assured Usopp as he returned to the restaurant with Nami. She was curious about the change of weather whenever Ken used his weapon so she wanted to ask.

----

Luffy had been following Kuro for sometime now and Kuro had no idea. As he went deep in the forest, Luffy took out a kunai and suddenly threw towards Kuro right at his shoulder. Luffy needed to make sure that Kaya was fine and that was only possible if he could separate them.

The kunai hit right behind the clavicle of the Kuro and he screamed in pain as the kunai lodged inside his flesh. This prompted him to let go of Kaya. Luffy saw Kaya slowly falling on the ground and he ran with fast speed and caught her.

After a few jumps Luffy was again standing at the branch of a tree and this time he had Kaya on his shoulder. All this time Kaya was unconscious so she had no idea what was going on.

"You are?" Kuro gritted his teeth as he pulled out the kunai from his back. Blood flowed as he did that. He didn't expect that someone would track him down. He had been keeping an eye behind to see if the axe guy was after him but now it seemed like the straw hat guy who was in the background was the one who had arrived.

"I am Monkey D. Luffy. I am the man who is going to be the King of Pirates. Hehehe..."
