313. The flames are too high
"Now everybody will die due to your selfishness. The innocent children, the happy couples, the nostalgic old dudes going about their lives.. Everything and everyone will die. Hahaha... Hehehe.." Doflamingo laughed as if he had won some kind of race competition.
Ken just looked at him as the castle and the trees were slowly burning down and getting destroyed. The yellow flames raged as it casted a yellowish hue all around and his glasses reflected the destruction that his country was facing. He knew that there was no way he could get away now but he didn't want to just lose.
'If I can't reach the top, I will not let others reach the same point.'
That was his philosophy since he was a child. He vowed to give the same treatment he had received when he was young never introspecting if there was something wrong with him. He was 'gassed' up all his life since he showed Conqueror's Haki quite early and thus he had been put to pedestal. Since he couldn't go against the Celestial Dragons, he made a country for himself where he could be the 'Celestial Dragon' and rule as he pleased.
Ken just looked at him with no expression in his face. There was no change in his expression nor his internal feelings. Honestly speaking he had been expecting this move of his from a long way and he had asked his friends to take measures and they had been on that for sometime now.
And in addition he wouldn't let Doflamingo to dance around for too much anyways.
"What? You don't have any grand words for me here? Punisher Kenny?" Doflamingo asked.
"Because words wouldn't be able to cover up the anger that I have for you." Ken said and then pointed his sword's tip at him. "Let my sword do the talking."
"BANKAI Zanka no Tachi."
The very ground beneath Ken's feet seemed to quake as he uttered those words. The fire which had been raging around suddenly stopped burning, vanishing faster than any water could ever accomplish. But the heat, the heat that engulfed the surroundings was palpable.
"Yes. Ken.. He has opened his bankai. He must be pissed off. We need to go." Luffy shouted.
"What is bankai?" Bartolomeo asked.
"Eto.. Ken told me something inside his sword gets alive.." Luffy thoughtfully said and Bartolomeo made a weird picture about it in his head.
Sanji was forced to meet the popping guy and he had to take care of him. So everybody were held down and the bird cage had already started which was been seen by Chopper and Ussop. And of course, Fujitora came and helped. Ussop and Chopper almost made a run but seeing him blind made them a bit secured.
Chopper promised to make them invisible if he went after them and thus Ussop and Chopper along with King Riku and Fujitora were actively trying to stop the bird cage.
While this was going on in the whole country with each Straw Hats taking care of the people and making sure that the Donquixote pirates were been taken down, Doflamingo's sweat was evaporating with every passing moment.
The black sword in front of him gave him a fear that seemed to originate from the depth of his soul. He had never seen such a sword before and he was sure that this sword was alive.
"Zanka no Tachi, Higashi: Kyokujitsujin"
Ken shouted and all the flames which had been seemed to get sucked away in an instant. But for some reason it didn't give him relief, but more anxiety. The sword had turned complete black and he could feel it held deep power within it at the moment.
He just didn't know what. for new novels
