139. God Sogeking

Chaka didn't hear anything on the radio as the Straw hats were much further up ahead and the walkie talkie didn't have that much range. So Chaka was ignorant of what went down in the desert and the standing army which stood to stop the rebel army also didn't know of what was going on up ahead.

"Pell, is everything alright there?"

"It is as silent as the night's sky." Pell replied on the radio.

"Keep on guard. It is at times like this, we get attack....." Chaka said but suddenly was cut off.

"Yeah.. Why did you stop talking?" Pell said as he saw sudden static from the radio of Chaka.

"Chaka..."

"Chaka!!!"

Now Pell got agitated when he heard no sound from the radio.

"Usopp... Chaka isn't replying." Pell spent no extra time and radioed Ussop where he was personally guarding the King. Ussop who had been quite a coward from the beginning was actually serious about safeguarding the King.

His crewmates had given him a job to fulfil and he was hellbent on keeping the father of his crewmate safe.

"Who? Who are you? How did you get past the guards? Guards!!.. Where are my guards? Guards! Come and arrest this guy." Cobra seemed very scared and at the end of the sentence he called out loudly. He definitely played the classic 'scared King' trope. If Ken was here he would have given Cobra 10/10 for acting.

"Hahaha... Oh my dear Cobra.. It seems the guards have already abandoned you. They said that you are one of the great kings but it seems like they exaggerated a bit." Nero laughed as he slowly inched towards. Cobra made another act and ran towards the door behind to escape but only to 'see' that the door was locked.

"No.. Don't come near me.. No.. " Cobra said as he was 'trying' to unlock the door.

"I can leave you if you give me the key to the vaults. Vaults that contain both your riches and the secret Poneglyph."

"Poneglyph? I don't know what you are talking about. Who are you?" Cobra asked in a trembling voice.

"It doesn't matter who I am but I am here for the huge square thing that you are keeping hidden in the vault. Show me the way and I will let you go." Nero said with a smirk. Of course he wasn't going to let it go. He loved to watch people suffer. The Rokushiki users were treated the most inhumane way possible and he had grown fond of the o torture over the years. Cobra looked dejected and said.

"If I give you the keys, will you really spare me?" Cobra begged with tears in his eyes.

"I can give you my word."

Cobra then stood up and then looked at Nero with a huge smile on his face. Nero was taken aback by the seemingly devilish smile and then at the following moment he felt as if his instinct was screaming at him and out of reflex he performed Soru.

Nero felt a huge burn in right ankle when he materialised on the side. The place where he was suddenly burst out like a small bomb.
