268. Am I that old?

"What kind of Devil fruit?" Usopp asked.

"A Logia... Swamp Swamp fruit. Technically speaking, this fruit has nothing of importance and isn't even powerful, but the fruit allows the person to store anything in his body and has infinite space inside," Ken said. (Yes, that's what Oda said in an SBS).

"Infinite space? That's interesting."

"But why is he interesting? It's not like we need such kind of fruit." Usopp and others were confused.

"Well, for one, I want to beat the shit out of him," Ken replied. This made everyone stunned and then laugh out loud.

"Then we shall move. Shall we? Everyone divide into teams of two," Luffy said, and this time it was an order. It was a lottery to form teams, and Ken got paired with Robin.

With the small teams and disguises on, they left with communicators in their pockets.

"How was the Revolutionary Army?" Ken asked as they walked through the streets of Sabaody. The closer they got to the Grove, the more chaos there was. People had gone haywire, thinking they were the actual recruits of the Straw Hats, and it was crazy.

The Straw Hats had a huge reputation now, so there was quite the rush on the Grove. But Ken also noticed that there were some marines in disguises too.

"It was informative. I got to visit new islands," Robin said.

"Did Dragon apologize?" Ken asked. Robin was surprised and then nodded. Dragon apologized because after Ohara got destroyed he was in Ohara. There was no need to apologize, but Ken knew that if he was half the man he knew, he would definitely apologize.

"The books of Ohara are still there and we will get to see them soon," Ken said.

"Is this guy alright?" someone asked.

"I think he got too excited and passed out. I'll give him some water," Ken said reassuringly.

"Hahaha... What a wuss. He'll miss the recruitment," another person said.

Ken slowly took Caribou to the side, and with nobody around, he brought the man into his Kamui dimension. As he was doing that, he noticed that the marines had now completely surrounded the whole 'fair,' and they had brought Pacifistas too. The Pacifistas this time were more numerous than they were supposed to be.

As usual, the others were a bit intrigued, and when they saw the new 'Straw Hats,' they were very disappointed. Luffy, who was angry at them for copying their Jolly Roger, just burst out laughing upon seeing them. Of course, for a second, he got confused by their appearance and thought they were his actual crewmates. Thankfully, Zoro knocked some sense into him.

"Seriously, even with one eye, I can see them, and you can't," Zoro said.

As they were talking among themselves, one Pacifista came forward and identified the fake Straw Hat as someone else, thus revealing their whole scheme. But then another Pacifista was able to spot the real Luffy and shot at him from afar.

Luffy and Zoro, who were on their way back, had to dodge the attack, and Luffy's disguise fell off as he had moved too fast for the disguise to keep up. The people around finally got to see the real Luffy and Zoro too.

"Those eyes... That's the real Luffy."

"That's Roronoa Zoro... The swordsman of the Straw Hats. People say he's cut down demons before."

"Straw Hat... I've been looking for you for a long time," Sentoamru came forward and shouted. She had tried to catch them in Sabody before, but Ken had come instead and they had a brawl.

At Marineford, they went on to clash against each other but he overpowered them. Now he had trained a lot over the 2 years and felt like he could catch him.
