261. It’s about sending them a message

"Lucci... Your help is here. Go on," Ken said as he teased Lucci. He was on his knees with his head down. He shuddered a bit when he heard Ken's voice. For him, Ken was a monster. A monster that came out of a nightmare to haunt him until death. He had been defeated so many times that his confidence was broken and had shattered into a thousand pieces.

He actually wanted death at this point but somehow Ken refused to let him die and even forced him to eat and not starve. His life didn't belong to him anymore. Lucci lifted his head and looked at Sengoku.

As he saw Sengoku, tears began to run down his face. He didn't even blink when he was crying. This cry wasn't a cry for help, but a cry to let him die. Lucci didn't want to live anymore. Sengoku looking at the eyes and face of Lucci got chills down his spine.

What kind of torture did Ken do to warrant that kind of emotion from one of the greatest geniuses of the CP organization?

"You bastard... What did you do to him?" Sengoku shouted. He actually wanted to fight Ken here but he felt like it wouldn't do any good and felt like this dimension was his playground.

"If you don't want to end up like him, then you'd better shut up," Ken said as he looked at him with emotionless eyes. He didn't give a damn about Sengoku since he had tried to kill his own brother. All the respect he had for this person before had gone down the drain.

"What do you want?" Sengoku asked, this time in a milder tone. He also felt a little ashamed of what he had tried to do, and trying to kill the grandson of Garp. He didn't know if he could look at Garp in the eyes again if he ever got out of this place.

"You overvalue yourself too much. There is nothing for you to give me. No, scratch that, your devil fruit is quite an interesting one. Mythical Zoan. There are very few of those out there, and maybe if I kill you, we can go on a search looking for it," Ken took off his thinking cap and lamented.

Lucci had a small smile on his face as he died. He felt liberated. Sengoku was shaking in anger but there was nothing he could do.

"They will come for you and you will be released. But don't expect a King's treatment here." Ken said. Sengoku could guess already what was the whole plan of him kidnapping was. It was never about ransom or demands, it was about sending a message to the whole world.

That the World Government was crumbling and it didn't look good for them. That was the whole point of this whole incident. Ken was more dangerous than they thought and should have been more cautious.

Ken didn't speak more and vanished away from the Kamui dimension. He wanted to make a statement to Sengoku by killing Lucci in front of him showing he was as cruel as he could get. Sengoku had his head hung and knew that he couldn't just get out of this predicament.

Haki was supposed to be at the top always, but Ken with his powers had nullified that whole statement. He didn't know what was going to happen but he for sure knew that he would have to resign or he would be forced to resign.

The bonus point of killing Whitebeard was wiped off the board as at the end the Admirals were close to death and Ace had escaped at the end. It was a loss for the World Government and the marine, and probably Akainu would take his place.

Since the Government loved him. Now that he looked back, his reign as the Fleet Admiral was a failure to begin with. He didn't have any shining moment and all that he had was because Garp was there to help him.

Little did Sengoku knew that he was having self doubt because Sabo had used Kotoamatsukami at him and his view of the world was slowly changing.
