Kapitel 226: You don't have the patience to be a Pirate King
"Are you even worthy of carrying those swords?" Zoro spoke in a deep and rumbling voice that made the running and approaching marines carrying swords feel as if they were unworthy of holding their swords and pointing them at someone.
Zoro's words instilled fear in them that couldn't be explained in words. He didn't even need to brandish his swords at them since these marines weren't powerful at all.
Meanwhile, Sanji used his normal feet to attack the marines, and each attack sent the marines hurtling away. Luffy used his usual attacks like kunai and shuriken, as well as his Devil fruit powers. There was nothing fancy, while Ken just sent Mjolnir flying and caused all the damage around.
The Straw Hats were efficient, taking care of the marines in the fastest way possible. To show that Kid and Law were also skilled, they began attacking the surrounding marines.
Kid utilized his magnetic Devil fruit power to turn their own metal weapons against them, while Law used his own Devil fruit power, which was one of the most formidable.
In a few minutes, the surrounding marines were neutralized, and most of them were lying unconscious and injured, but some of them fled in horror. Zoro and Ken were brutal in their attacks and couldn't simply stand there and be punching bags.
"Straw hats... I don't know what you guys want, but you better not drag me into this," Kid declared.
"Drag you? You have brought most of your problems upon yourself, and you think we dragged you?" Ken retorted.
"You're speaking too much, Punisher Kenny," Kid shouted as his hand, which had transformed into a metal arm, stretched out and prepared to attack. For some reason, Ken was deliberately provoking Kid, and Kid, foolishly, was being provoked.
"I only speak the truth and nothing but the truth," Ken said. In the next moment, Kid came flying in and attempted to hit Ken in the face, only to be stopped inches away from Ken's face.
He was suspended mid-air, unable to move at all. Ken looked directly into Kid's eyes.
"Shinra Tensei," Ken murmured.
Kid was blown away several meters and only stopped after being dragged along the ground. Killer, also a Supernova, didn't expect his captain to be tossed aside so effortlessly. He rushed forward, prepared to confront Ken.
But before he could get close, the sharp edge of a sword was already at Killer's neck. He couldn't even sense when Zoro had approached him so closely and positioned the sword against his neck. Any further movement, and his head would go flying.
"You bastard," Killer roared, but he knew he couldn't defeat Zoro. Zoro was too fast, and he hadn't even sensed him moving from a considerable distance away.
Meanwhile, Kid slowly got up, consumed by fury. He desired revenge for the disrespect. All the nearby metal began converging around him. Ken disappeared from his position and reappeared next to Kid. This movement also went unnoticed by Kid.
"Bansho Tenin."
This lifted Kid off his feet and sent him flying into Ken's hand. Ken caught his neck and squeezed tightly. Kid was not going to give up and summoned all the metal parts around him to attack Ken, but Ken discharged lightning at the side, halting the attack and making it fade away.
Kid finally understood why this guy had the highest bounty among them. The tricks up his sleeve seemed endless. He had lightning, push and pull abilities applicable to humans, and even a seemingly unstoppable magical hammer. Kid had attempted to call upon Ken's hammer, but it was futile.
"You've been jumping around a little too much, Useless Mid. Do you think you're some kind of hotshot? You won't last a second in the New World and will only throw away your life in vain. You want to be the Pirate King, but you lack the patience and mindset required. It's better for you to die here so your comrades can live their lives in peace," Ken said as he brought out the Stormbreaker in one hand, with the cleaved side pointed toward Kid.
"Try it, bitch. Try it... You can never kill me!" Kid shouted, though his words were muffled due to Ken holding his neck.
"Ken, come back," Luffy suddenly shouted from behind. Ken knew this was an order from the captain. He glanced at Kid once more before flinging him away. Kid dropped to the ground like a ragdoll.
"Was that really necessary?" Sanji said as he lit up his cigarette.
"This guy is way too confident in himself, and his overconfidence will lead to the downfall of his own pirate crew and himself," Ken said. Killer was nearby and heard Ken's words clearly. He hadn't expected that Ken wasn't really trying to kill Kid, but was instead teaching him a lesson. Zoro had removed the sword from Killer's neck, and Killer ran toward Kid, who had lost consciousness due to lack of air for some time.
But he was alright.
"Take him away and run. When Kizaru comes, things will get ugly. If you want to survive, you need to leave the island," Ken shouted back at Killer, who lifted Kid onto his shoulder. Killer looked back at Ken for a moment before making his way out.
Now, Ken turned his attention to Law. Law had been observing all the drama from the beginning, curiosity shining in his eyes as he looked at this incredibly powerful man.
"Trafalgar Law, it's nice to finally meet you. I have a proposition for you," Ken said, locking eyes with Law.
"What?" Law asked.
"Why don't you join our crew." Ken said direct;y.
"Oye, I am the Captain here." Luffy shouted.
"Doesn't feel like it sometimes." Sanji said.
"Definitely not." Ussop from behind protested.
"Of course you are, Captain. But this guy will be very helpful for us." Ken said as he looked at Law with anticipation.
"Is this some kind of joke?" Law asked.
