148. Bellamy

148. Bellamy

When Ken came to confront everyone from the Blackbeard Pirates, he already had a feeling that the crew that had just been formed didn't have the power that they were supposed to have when Blackbeard became a Yonko. So he wasn't expecting any of them to have devil fruits, but here was one.

A mythical Zoan. Ken took out kunais, but these kunais were special. These kunais were laden with bombs that would burst into flames when they reached the desired location. But before he could throw the kunai, he stopped and turned his head to look in a certain direction.

The direction he was looking was toward the mock town. The place where Luffy, Zoro, and others had just visited When Ken was fighting, Luffy and others had already reached the mock town and crossed paths with Blackbeard. They had the famous argument about the pie and the ale. Blackbeard, just like in the original story, didn't exactly recognize Luffy. Mostly because he had different eyes from the poster and also had more of a spiky hair.

If someone paid close attention to him, only then would they see that the poster had a strong resemblance to Luffy. After the argument, Teach came out of the bar and heard the blasts that happened in the forest. He remembered that Augur was in the forest, so he sped up his steps to see if anything had happened.

Ken had sensed this with Observation Haki and the sound of his huge boots. He might not be able to sense him entirely, but he could already make him out.

"Today is your lucky day." Ken said as he jumped onto one of the undamaged trees and then proceeded to get away from the party. He had done what he came to do. To inflict so much damage on the Blackbeard pirates that they would never forget. Though Ken regretted not hurting Stronger and Doc Q, seeing their condition in reality, he wondered if these two guys would be able to handle one attack from him.

They might just die with only one hit from Ken. Jesus was at least alive after taking two full-powered hits from Ken. After a few seconds of Ken getting there, Blackbeard had finally arrived. But when he saw his comrades lying on the ground, his smile and half of his missing teeth vanished, and they were replaced by a serious face.

"What happened here?" Blackbeard seriously asked Q. Only he was conscious and was trying to tend to the two unconscious guys.

"Somebody attacked us... He knew everything about us. He knew that Stronger had the mythical Zoan fruit, and he hit our weak points." Q said in a sickly tone.

"Why? Did he tell you not to fight?" Ken could already guess what happened. Unlike the original story, Nami was powerful. Ken could already see that both of them had been thrown out of the bar because when he talked about Sky Island, he got laughed at and bullied by Bellamy and his crew.

Then both of them were thrown out like rag dolls. Nami might not be able to keep up with Bellamy, but she sure could cause some damage to him. She didn't want to go against the words of her captain, but that didn't mean that she wasn't angry. She wanted to beat the crap out of them.

So when she saw Ken arrive, she saw hope.

"I want you to beat the snot out of them."

Luffy and Zoro got up slowly and brushed off the dust on them.

"Ken, don't fight them," Luffy said.

"Alright Captain. But do you remember when you were young how I saved you?" Ken asked, suddenly remembering the time when he went to save Luffy from Porphyry and his crew. Luffy didn't understand what he meant and just looked at Ken.

"What about it?" Luffy asked.

"At that time, I looked at you as someone who needed protection. I saw you as a brother. Now that we have both grown up, I respect you as the captain of the ship. But you forget the main relationship that is prevalent between us. We are both brothers. And brothers have each other's backs." Ken said and slowly walked toward the bar.
