225. You don’t have the patience to be a Pirate King
"Are you even worthy of carrying those swords?" Zoro spoke in a deep and rumbling voice that made the running and approaching marines carrying swords feel as if they were unworthy of holding their swords and pointing them at someone.
Zoro's words instilled fear in them that couldn't be explained in words. He didn't even need to brandish his swords at them since these marines weren't powerful at all.
Meanwhile, Sanji used his normal feet to attack the marines, and each attack sent the marines hurtling away. Luffy used his usual attacks like kunai and shuriken, as well as his Devil fruit powers. There was nothing fancy, while Ken just sent Mjolnir flying and caused all the damage around.
The Straw Hats were efficient, taking care of the marines in the fastest way possible. To show that Kid and Law were also skilled, they began attacking the surrounding marines.
Kid utilized his magnetic Devil fruit power to turn their own metal weapons against them, while Law used his own Devil fruit power, which was one of the most formidable.
In a few minutes, the surrounding marines were neutralized, and most of them were lying unconscious and injured, but some of them fled in horror. Zoro and Ken were brutal in their attacks and couldn't simply stand there and be punching bags.
"Straw hats... I don't know what you guys want, but you better not drag me into this," Kid declared.
"Drag you? You have brought most of your problems upon yourself, and you think we dragged you?" Ken retorted.
"You're speaking too much, Punisher Kenny," Kid shouted as his hand, which had transformed into a metal arm, stretched out and prepared to attack. For some reason, Ken was deliberately provoking Kid, and Kid, foolishly, was being provoked.
"I only speak the truth and nothing but the truth," Ken said. In the next moment, Kid came flying in and attempted to hit Ken in the face, only to be stopped inches away from Ken's face.
He was suspended mid-air, unable to move at all. Ken looked directly into Kid's eyes.
"Shinra Tensei," Ken murmured.
But he was alright.
"Take him away and run. When Kizaru comes, things will get ugly. If you want to survive, you need to leave the island," Ken shouted back at Killer, who lifted Kid onto his shoulder. Killer looked back at Ken for a moment before making his way out.
Now, Ken turned his attention to Law. Law had been observing all the drama from the beginning, curiosity shining in his eyes as he looked at this incredibly powerful man.
"Trafalgar Law, it's nice to finally meet you. I have a proposition for you," Ken said, locking eyes with Law.
"What?" Law asked.
"Why don't you join our crew." Ken said direct;y.
"Oye, I am the Captain here." Luffy shouted.
"Doesn't feel like it sometimes." Sanji said.
"Definitely not." Ussop from behind protested.
"Of course you are, Captain. But this guy will be very helpful for us." Ken said as he looked at Law with anticipation.
"Is this some kind of joke?" Law asked.
