Kapitel 196: Chapter 196
Ken finished his lunch box and stood up.
"I found some Seastone handcuffs, Captain," said Laffitte.
"Bind these four together with those cuffs, so they'll be bound with their backs towards each other."
"What about the keys?"
"Throw them into the sea as far as possible."
"You're evil, Captain."
"Thanks, I learned from the best."
Hisaki was looking at the two with hatred in his eyes. But he knew better than to try and stop them. He is lucky that they're actually letting him live. Laffitte quickly put the cuffs on their hands and threw away the keys. Now their backs are against each other for the rest of their lives.
"So, are you ready to tell me what's really going on, Captain?"
"Go back home and tell Celine that the food was delicious. Also, take that brat with you. Drop him off at a nearby island."
"Does what I read in the newspaper this morning have to do with you, Captain?"
Ken didn't answer.
"I'll go and get everyone together," said Laffitte as he started walking towards Hisaki.
"Since when did you stop following orders, Laffitte?"
"You gave me the freedom to move on my own if I think it's beneficial to you and the crew."
"Then I'm taking that away. Go home and stay there. I'll be back in a week, and don't you dare do something stupid. Deuce moving on his own has already given me a headache, and I don't want to get an even bigger headache."
"I'm sorry, Captain, but I can't accept this order. You're going to do the plan on your own, aren't you?"
"I'm just going to bring Deuce and Devon back. That plan is impossible anyway."
"Impossible? What do you mean, Captain?"
"Just get out of here already, Laffitte."
"I see; I'm sorry for bothering you, Ken," said Laffitte as he effortlessly knocked out the worn-down and barely standing Hisaki and put him over his shoulder. Then, without saying anything more, he disappeared.
'I'm sorry, Laffitte.'
Ken walked towards the handcuffed Admirals and kicked them awake.
"Goodmorning. Did you guys sleep well?"
When they realized what had happened, they all glared at him. This is the most embarrassing situation they've ever been in, and while they're here without a way to escape, the Marines are being attacked by the Revolutionaries. Sakazuki started looking around as if he was searching for someone.
"If you're looking for Hisaki, he's already at the bottom of the ocean."
"Tsk, that damn weakling. I wasted all my time on him for nothing."
"Yeah, your whole life was a waste, but that's beside the point. I'll be going, so act like a good little dog and stay."
Ken started walking away.
"Wait! Why aren't you killing us?" asked Haia.
Ken looked back with a cold look. "Do I need a reason to spare ants?" The Admirals had furious and embarrassed looks on their faces as Ken disappeared.

"Your highness, why are we sitting back while the Revolutionaries are taking over the Marines? That damn bastard Azure Ken has even destroyed Marineford and taken out the Fleet Admiral and Admirals."
"If you send us out there, we can definitely take care of him. Even though he managed to take out one of us, with the four of us teaming up, there is no way that he'll survive."
"And after that, we can take care of the Revolutionaries with our soldiers."
"We will lose a lot of power if we wait any longer, so please let us go, Im-sama."
The remaining four Elders are bowing down and pleading in front of the 'Empty' Throne in Mary Geoise, on which Im is currently sitting.
"You will all stand by till I order otherwise."
"But-"
"Have all of you already forgotten our objective after being drowned by money, power, and women?"
The Elders kept quiet.
"If the 4 of you go out now, my plan will be affected. Ken has already drowned himself in my power and now he will come here by himself and hand me the final key."
"Your power? Don't tell me!"
The Elders were shocked beyond belief.
"That's right, he has achieved that which none of you could achieve in hundreds of years. Soon, the Marines, World Government, Revolutionaries, and Pirates will all be removed from history once the two of us meet once again."
The Elders looked unwilling to let their power go so easily, but they didn't dare to risk affecting Im's plan.
"Now, go and leave me alone. I need to think about some things."
"Yes, your highness," said the 4 Elders as they bowed and left the throne room.
"It's not much longer now. Soon we will be reunited, and I will stop at nothing to make it happen. Even if I needed to destroy this world in the process."
---
"Captain, why are we suddenly going to Mary Geoise?"
"Something really big is about to happen, Burgess."
"Does it have something to do with the Revolutionaries and Marines?"
"It is much bigger than that. This is something that will shake the world even more than the One Piece has."
"More than the One Piece! Is that even possible?"
"It is, and it will be spectacular! A battle between a God and a Demon, I need to witness it no matter what!"
"A God and a Demon? I don't know what you mean, Captain, but I definitely want to witness it too."
"Zehahahaha! It's finally time!"
---
"Let me go, you bastard!" screamed Hisaki at Laffitte, who is carrying him."
"We will arrive at an island soon, so stay still. If you fall into the sea, I won't rescue you."
"Why are you even taking me to an island? Shouldn't you just dispose of me after I tried to kill your Captain? It's not like he'll ever find out what happens to me."
"If I really wanted to punish you for trying to kill him, a death from drowning would be too light of a punishment."
"So you guys are just monsters that like torture people."
"Ever been to Impel Down?"
"No, why would I go there?"
"If you saw what happened there, you wouldn't call us monsters so easily. The Marines and World Government have done things that most pirates would never do. But I don't expect an ignorant brat that is only obsessed with revenge to even care."
"Stop trying to feed me false information. I'm sure that there are marines that do bad stuff, but it's definitely not as bad as you make it out to be. And the only one who is ignorant here is you. It's not like if anyone close to you were killed, you wouldn't seek revenge."
"Is that so. My sister, who I cared about, got killed by the World Government and Marines, but I've never killed any of them because of revenge. Someone fueled by revenge will never end up living the life they wanted without regretting their past. I'm not saying that you shouldn't take revenge, but making that your life goal is just pathetic."
Hisaki stayed quiet.
"We've arrived."
Before Hisaki could turn his head, Laffitte already sent him flying towards a small island with a small village. Hisaki quickly used Geppo before he crashed into the ground.
"Listen, kid, I'll give you a life lesson that might help you become someone you could be proud of. Everyone starts of ignorant and follows the pack, but only those who leave the pack and explore the world by themselves and think for themselves after seeing clear evidence will be able to find true happiness and stop being ignorant." With that, Laffitte disappeared, leaving HIsaki to contemplate on his own.
