"I want to go too," Luffy threw a tantrum instantly. Seeing his tantrum, everyone just sighed.

"Luffy-san, your home might be destroyed. Don't you think it's better to leave it to someone who can just go in and out in the blink of an eye?" Brook said. Those wise words seemed to strike Luffy quite a bit, and thus, he chose to be silent and sit down. This made everyone surprised, as none of them expected Brook to come out with words to actually calm Luffy down.

Even Jinbe couldn't do it.

"That's our Brook."

"The musician does know how to calm people down."

Everyone praised Brook, who just smiled and started playing his electric guitar. Meanwhile, Ken put on a hood and a body jacket before using his Kamui dimension to vanish. Luffy saw Ken leave and was still sulking.

He declared that the next time he must be included. The other Straw Hats promised to do so and were just glad that Ken was allowed to go alone. When Ken appeared again, he was in the Oykot Kingdom.

The once serene and picturesque kingdom was now marred by the shadows of impending turmoil. The once-quaint kingdom had transformed into a military stronghold, with Marines bustling about, their uniforms a stark contrast to the serene surroundings.

The harbor, once a lively center of trade, now teemed with marine vessels and warships. The clinking of armor and the barking orders of officers replaced the usual lull of the ocean waves.Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com

"Who is it? This place isn't for outsiders. Leave."

"We are bandits. If you treasure your life, then get away from here."

"Don't come near."

There were weird shouts from the people around as they pointed their guns at him. It was strange because they threatened Ken in such a way; it felt like they were forcing themselves to be the bad guy here just so he couldn't reach their 'base.'

"You should upgrade your threats. Forget about pirates. Your threats won't even make a rat go away, forget about human beings," Ken replied with a very calm tone. His face and body still weren't visible to the people, so these people feared him, thinking he belonged to the Navy.

The people who were threatening him were the private army of Zephyr, which had followed him once he left the Navy. They were his diehard followers of Zephyr and would even die for them if they were asked to.

"What are all the shouts about?"

"Sensei... There is someone just outside our base and is not leaving."

"What?" Zephyr was surprised and soon came forward to see what the commotion was about. He was surprised to see a man standing in a cloak and a hood. For some reason, he felt chills in his spine as he watched him. He couldn't help but shout.

"Who are you?"
