157. God shrimp

157. God shrimp

"What are you all talking about?" Vivi was confused by the looks of Luffy, Zoro, Sanji and Ussop.

"Someone is watching. No! listening to us." Zoro said.

"What?"

"Nani?"

Those words brought fear to the others, and they started looking around to see who was eavesdropping on them but found no one. This made them feel more uneasy. Even Cricket and others believed what they were saying and actively searched around nearby.

"You can't find him. He is very far away." Ken said.

"Can you hear him?" Luffy asked. Ken nodded head.

"What is he? He is able to do just like you?" Sanji asked. By this time everyone knew that Ken with his Haki was able to listen very far and was even able to pinpoint the position of everyone he was listening to. His control over lightning gave him that power. But now they found out there was another man able to do that, so they were confused.

"Probably someone who has eaten a Logia Lightning fruit."

"Logia? That too, lightning? Shit, we are doomed." -Nami

All of this was, of course, attributed to the devil fruit that Chopper ate, thus lying through his teeth. Conis was really impressed and invited them to her home. It was then that a huge shrimp came out of nowhere from under Merry. The shrimp was twice the size of Merry, and GOD was written on its head.

It took Merry on its head and sped off. But it was in for an unfortunate demise. Before it could go any further, a bunch of arrows were shot in super-fast speed at the ship, and before the shrimp could turn its head and see what the shrill noise was about, the shining arrows struck the body of the shrimp.

Some arrows went through the body of the shrimp, while others struck at its thick exoskeleton. The huge shrimp cried out in pain. Of course it was Ussop. Someone or something wanted to take Merry away, and Ussop was having none of it.

This was his love, and nobody was allowed to touch it. Conis, Cricket, and others had their jaws fall to the ground. All this time, the crew had been having fun with them and acting all foolish, but when the moment came, they turned out to be monsters!

"Ussop, kill this thing. I want to eat it." Luffy shouted while drooling from his mouth.

"Shrimp? They can be cooked with coconut milk and sauteed with vegetables. It will be quite tasty." Sanji said while lighting a cigarette. But not all of them had a good look on their faces, and Ken was one of them.

He had been paying close attention to the things around him. Conis hadn't asked for the God shrimp to come and take away the ship as in the original story, which meant that Enel must have ordered it since Amazon didn't snitch on them.

Enel must have been hearing their conversation and wanted to play with them. For Luffy and Ken, Enel was just someone they could take care of, but for Zoro and others, he wasn't that easy. Sure, they had mastered Armament Haki, but for landing, they needed to get close to him, which was difficult due to his lightning speed and Observation Haki.

It was for others that he cared. This would be a tough fight for his crew. Ken had been trying to get access to the Kamui dimension so that he could travel almost as fast as Enel, but he was unable to do so.

Meanwhile, after launching more arrows, the shrimp had died, and the people around came out to see what the ruckus was about. When they saw the shrimp being pulled to the beach by Luffy and his crew, they ran to their homes, fearing the wrath of God.
