124. Cute maid
But after fear, she felt confident. Vivi holding her made her remember that she wasn't alone in the sea. The warmth of her friendship gave her the courage that she had lost a long time ago.
"They are really powerful." Robin said in a meek tone.
"And we will take them down." Ken replied. Luffy and others instantly came forward and hugged her. She really did come a long way from not trusting anyone to having friends who could even accompany her to death.
Everyone had a smile on their face while Smoker's face was an ugly frown. He had heard of CP organization but never saw them in real life, and now that he had seen them in real life, an organization that belonged to his side decided to join with the enemy!
This was betrayal of the highest order. He wanted to take this knowledge and throw it to the face of Sengoku right now.
"Smokey, you don't look so good. Are you hungry?" Luffy asked, confused. Smoker's face became red and proceeded to swing his weapon on Luffy, who had to dodge.
"Calm down Smokey. We have meat. You can eat them too." Luffy said, still thinking that Smoker was hungry.
"Smoker, do you feel betrayed?" Ken asked as he could imagine what Smoker was thinking. He was sent to prison and handed over to the pirates by the people of his own side. This must have hurt his ideology quite a lot. Luffy was always known for breaking ideologies and making people suffer.
But Ken, who knew the truth, always wanted to break people from the inside. He always liked Smoker so he was glad that a situation came up which showed Smoker the mirror and let him understand how the world worked.
"Shut up. You know nothing." Smoker roared, not sure if he was roaring to himself or Ken.
"This is impossible. Nobody knows what I want." Crocodile denied whatever Ken said.
"Che.. It's useless to speak with deranged criminals. Smoker, take him away." Ken said.
"I am not your maid." Smoker replied.
"That's sad. You will make a very cute maid." Ken replied remembering him when he exchanged bodies with Tashigi in Punk Hazard. Crocodile wanted to scream more but Nami proceeded to use her magic and make him shut up.
It was time for them to go to Alubarna. Smoker didn't bother to speak more and just took Crocodile on his shoulders and went back to his ship.
"Smoker, don't reveal the wrongs of Crocodile until the King declares, otherwise you will be betrayed again. Hide him until there is an official declaration." Ken shouted at the back.
"You don't have to guide me, Punisher." Smoker replied.
"Good things often go unnoticed." Ken shook his head. While Luffy was busy looking for food around. They had already finished most of the food supplies in these days and thus needed some stock from Rainbase.
After an hour of staying at Rainbase and making sure that their supplies were full again, they started their journey again to Alubarna. This time with more speed than the previous time. The CP organisation was involved this time and thus this needed special care.
Crocodile was a baby in front of this organisation. Crocodile at least had his own ideologies that he defended but these mad men had nothing. They just followed orders and didn't even feel a thing even if a country gets wiped away just to settle their mission. Ken really hated the CP organisation and he couldn't wait to show them hell.
