166. The fear and the truth

Luffy didn't immediately ask for an explanation or started screaming like he usually does but looked deep into the eyes of Ken. Luffy's big cross eyes seemed to be trying to look deep into Ken. Ken had forgotten how creepy sometimes the eyes of Jin Mori could be.

Ken changed his eyes of Sharingan to get away from this creepiness but he knew that Luffy wanted answers. He had already stopped fighting and Enel too backed away, almost like escaping the eyes of Ken, which seemed to be filled with fear.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com

"I had to do this because I didn't see any other way out of the current predicament." Ken said. Sanji seemed to be lost in his anger and kicked Ken at his face. Ken deliberately didn't avoid the attack and took it in his face like a champ. He was thrown a few meters back but didn't fall in the ground. His body was too tough to be affected by Sanji's half hearted kick.

"You have some guts to come to us after hurting our friends." Sanji said as he puffed up his smoke in anger. Sanji was ready to kick Ken again but was stopped by Luffy himself who had been silent. He was still looking for answers of why his own brother would send someone so powerful after them and had almost killed one of their own friends.

"I am sorry Captain. I had to do this because we have grown way too faster and didn't receive any set back. All our fight until now had been easy and we have become slack. If we continue like this we will be decimated before we can reach the New World. I sent him to show you the difference between us and them. This guy doesn't even have Armament Haki and was almost able to wipe the floor with you three." Ken said. His words rang like an alarm in front of the three.

Zoro had slowly gotten up on his feet after Chopper bandaged him up. The three hung their head in shame. Ken was right. Enel was able to take on three with only his logia fruit and Observation Haki. Though he had taken some hit from Luffy and Sanji but this wasn't enough.

His raw power overwhelmed everyone and they didn't have the proper answer to his power. Since Mihawk, this was the first time Zoro was taken down. Ken had been trying warn them but except for Zoro it fell into deaf ears for everyone.

Sanji and Luffy were only good because their character had been progressing, not that they had been practicing on their powers.

Everybody came together to give a group hug. Even Robin who always refrained from human touch wrapped her arms around. Meanwhile Enel had flown away and almost vanished from their sight. He didn't want to get beaten by Ken again.

Of course Ken noticed the escaping Enel and shouted

"Come back right here."

Enel's face got black and slowly came back with dropped shoulders.

"What do you want now? I have done everything you have asked me." Enel said with anger.

"You want to see land or in your words Vearth. Right?" Ken asked. Enel stiffened and nodded. He wanted to go to the Fairy Vearth or in simple words the Moon.

"There is almost nothing in your dream place. But you will come across some robots and some ancient texts. And come across some space pirates. You will able to rule the land easily."

Enel was greatly surprised by this. He didn't expect that this enigmatic guy would know his end goal too. He wanted to ask more but his ego stopped him. Ken didn't bother with him and just proceeded to have fun with his crew as they would make a banquet.
