Bab 36: Chapter 36
[Momonga P.O.V.]
I'm standing on a warship with nine others following me.
'It's ridiculous that they would launch a Buster Call for a rookie. He might be above average and know Haki, but there is no way that he could beat a Vice-Admiral. Even Garp said so. So which person was stupid enough to do this?'
"Momonga, sir!"
My subordinate came running towards me.
"What is it?"
"You should look for yourself."
He gave me a spyglass.
I grabbed the spyglass and looked through it.
'This brat! Does he even know what's happening!'
I threw the spyglass back to my subordinate.
"Let's wait and see what futile attempt he is trying to make."
He was about 100 meters (330 feet) from my ship when he suddenly started going upward with his crewmate under his arm.
'What is this brat thinking?'
He was about a kilometer (0,6 miles) above our ships when he stopped.
His crewmate suddenly started creating shadows underneath them when something big fell out of it.
'Don't tell me that that is what I think it is!'
They suddenly disappeared.
"Everyone, get into the water now!"
Everyone from my ship and the other ships started jumping into the water. The big object fell right onto the ship in the middle of our formation.
'Huh, nothing happened. Was that just a bluff to slow us down?'
*BOOOOOOOOOM*
[Ken P.O.V.
1 minute earlier]
I was running towards the marine fleet with Robert under my arm.
"You know what you need to do, right?"
"Yes, captain."
"Good."
I started using Geppo to get high into the air.
When we were high enough, I stopped.
"Alright, do it."
Robert opened his Shadow Storage, and the big object that came out of it was Crocodile's bomb with a 2.5 kilometer (1.5 miles) explosion radius.
'To think that he had that just laying around in his base. Laffitte managed to create a blueprint and remote control for it, so I can potentially create more of these. I already have a million idea's about how I want to use it, but I need to first use it here.'
The bomb started to fall down, and I encased my legs in Haki and started using Geppo and Soru at my max speed.
*WOOSH*
We disappeared. I could see all the marine's jumping into the water.
'Poor guys, this isn't the type of bomb that you can escape from by going underwater.'
After we got away far enough, I clicked on the remote.
*BOOOOOOOOOM*
*WOOSH*
We got sent flying back by the shockwaves.
'Damn, this thing is more powerful than I imagined. The manga didn't do it justice.'
I stabilized myself and kept going towards the ship.
After a little bit, I landed on it. I let go of Robert.
"Are you okay, Robert?"
"I'm fine, Captain.
"Good."
"Was that Crocodile's bomb?" asked Robin
"Yep. Laffitte, get us back on course."
"Yes, Captain."
"Deuce, lend me your spyglass."
"Sure, here you go."
He gave me his spyglass, and I looked at the marine graveyard.
'As I thought, the Vice-Admirals have all survived. But I doubt that they will go after us.'
"Alright, they won't be bothering us anymore. Sabo, have you done what I told you?"
"Yep, I have everything here."
He gave me a Den Den Mushi.
'This is a Den Den Mushi that can record videos, and this will help me get some contacts in the underworld.'
"Laffitte, did you get the number?"
"Sigh, do you even know how difficult it is to get a number from an underworld Emperor."
"I know, but I believe in your abilities."
He smiled.
"I'm glad that you trust me so much."
He gave me a piece of paper with a number on it.
"Thank you. I will be in my cabin, don't disturb me."
I walked into my cabin and shut the door behind me. I sat down at my desk and took out a Den Den Mushi. I dialed in the number that Laffitte gave me.
"Purururu, purururu, purururu, purururu, purururu."
"Why is it taking so long?'
"Gacha."
Someone picked up, and the Den Den Mushi's head turned into an albatross.
"Yo, am I talking with Morgan."
"Who are you?"
"Well, there is no need for me to hide it, I guess. Your newspaper had my crew and me on the front page."
"Azure Demon Ken."
"Just Ken is fine."
"How did you get this number."
"Haha, let's just say that I'm much more capable than the average rookie."
"Hehe, as I thought, you really are interesting. So what do you want?"
"Before that, can you tell those marine's that are listening in to take a hike."
5 seconds later.
"They're gone."
"Good. I called you to sell you some information."
"Hahaha, I thought that you would have at least done some research about me. Do you really think that I can't get the information that you have."
"But, I doubt that you're able to get everything."
"That's true, but I have a quick question."
"Sure, what is it?"
"Has the big thing already happened to you and your crew?"
"Hahaha, you sure are a good businessman. Not willing to give me any information freely. But yeah, it just happened."
"Then why aren't you on the bottom of the sea?"
"As I thought, you don't have that information. So what would you be willing to give for that information plus a video of it."
"I can't give you a price if I don't know what kind of information you have."
"How about this. I'll tell you what happened, and you'll find me some adam wood. You'll only need to supply it, and I will pay for it."
"Hmm, fine. I can get you that, but how will you trust me not to just take the information and give nothing back?"
"You will get to know what happened here eventually, but if you don't give me the adam wood, I'll destroy the video and trust me, you'll want it."
"Hahaha, alright, tell me already. You've got me intrigued."
'He can probably fulfill this request with a snap of his fingers.'
"As you may know, someone sent a Buster Call at me."
"Yes."
"Hehehe, the only surviving marines are the 5 Vice-Admirals."
"Are you serious?"
"Nope."
"So, that was why I couldn't contact my spy."
"Haha, sorry about that."
"No, it's fine."
"So, do you want to buy the video?'
"What's your price?"
"I don't really care about money right now. I'm more interested in some information."
"You need to be careful. Too much information will get you in trouble."
"Aww, are you getting worried about me?"
"Hehe, I just think that you're interesting, so I don't want you to fall down too quickly. But name your price."
"I have two things that I want to know. First, who was the one who sent a Buster call after me. And second, I want to have a good relation with you."
"You really are interesting. Fine, I accept."
"Thank you. How about we handle everything in person. I will be at Jaya in 4 days."
"I'm in Paradise anyway, so I'll see you there. Oh, and before I go. If you lie and waste my time, I'll end you."
"Calm down. I'm not stupid enough to fight an Emperor. Be it an Emperor of the underworld or one of the Four Emperors of the Sea."
"It's good that you have a good head on your shoulders. Alright, I have to go."
"Gacha."
He hung up. I took the device of the snail and broke it.
'Having good ties with an Emperor of the underworld will be really beneficial to me. After all, he is one of the best when it comes to gathering information. But I should keep in mind that he'll also sell information about me to other people.'
I looked at the snail that is running away.
'But at least I've got the ship situated sorted for about 50 percent. And I'm sure that he'll be able to find out which bastard targeted me.'
"Sigh."
'I should start thinking about what I'm going to do in Skypiea. And let's hope that this will be the last time that I'll get a Buster Call on me.

[Do you guys know when Enel/Eneru ate his Devil Fruit. Please let me know. I could maybe do something fun with it.]
Random facts:
Oda said that if he could have any Devil Fruit, he would want Robin's so he could draw manga 20 times faster.
Chopper runs to Zoro when he is scared or in danger, and Zoro is the first one to jump into action when Chopper falls into the water.
