25 Chapter 25
"Purupuru, purupuru, purupuru."
My Den Den Mushi is going off. I answered it.
"Gacha."
"Hello, Ken."
"Yo, Sabo."
"We've hidden the ship. Did you find a doctor yet?"
"Yeah, she is making a cure for them now."
"That's good news. Ace and I are in one of the villages, but there are a lot of guards here."
"What are the guards doing."
"It seems like this kingdom has a lot of crazy laws, and the guards are punishing almost everyone that they see."
"I see. Just beat them up then."
"Are you sure? What if the whole army comes after us?"
"Hahaha, are you suddenly getting scared?"
"No way! We will beat their whole army today!"
"Gacha."
He hanged up.
"What are you crazy brats thinking. Do you even know how strong they are?" asked Kureha
"Hahaha, mark my word; the king and his guards will be wiped out today."
Kureha and Chopper had shocked looks on their faces.
"What!? Why would you do that!?" asked Kureha
"Shouldn't you be happy?"
"Yes, but that is just a crazy idea!"
Suddenly Chopper came walking towards me.
"You're Ken right?" asked Chopper
'He must have heard it when Sabo said it.'
"Yes, what do you want?"
"Let me help you!"
"With what?"
"Taking down the king."
"Hahaha, what could a little reindeer like you do?"
He glared at me.
"I'm really strong, and I have a score to settle with him."
"Nah, you'll just be in the way."
He suddenly bowed down on his knees with his head touching the ground and started crying.
"Please let me help! I beg of you! I won't be in your way! Please!"
I looked at Chopper and then at Kureha.
"Fine, I'll let you go."
He jumped up and had a big smile on his face.
"Thank you so much!"
"If I don't have to pay the doctor."
He immediately froze. He slowly turned around to Kureha.
"Not happening!"
He looked at her with reindeer eyes.
"Please."
"No!"
He started tearing up again.
"Please!"
"Tsk."
She looked at me.
"Can you promise his safety?"
"He should be fine."
She glared at me.
"Fine, he will survive 100%."
"Sigh, fine, you can do whatever you want."
"Thank you!"
He jumped and hugged her.
"Get off of me!"
*BAM*
She punched him off of her.
I took out my Den Den Mushi and called Laffitte.
"Gacha."
"Yes, captain?"
"Where are you?"
"I'm in the forest next to the castle."
"Wait there; I'll be sending you a reindeer."
"My name is Chopper."
"What? Why would you send me a reindeer?"
"It can talk and apparently fight. All you have to do is let him hit the King a couple of times and protect him. Oh, and If he dies, you will go down right with him.
*GULP*
"Yes, sir."
"Good, he will come right now."
"Gacha."
I hang up.
I looked at Chopper.
"He is a tall and pale guy with a long hat. You should be easily able to find him. Now go quickly before she changes her mind."
"Thank you so much!"
He raced out of the tree.
"Tsk. If something happens to him, I'll charge 100 times the normal amount."
"Don't worry. Nothing is going to happen to him. Now get those two back on their feet."
[Laffitte P.O.V.]
'What the hell did he mean by a reindeer that can speak and fight. He better not get in my way.'
[10 minutes later]
I heard something like hooves. I hid behind a tree when I saw a reindeer with a hat.
'Is that who the captain talked about?'
I appeared in front of him.
"AAHH! A GHOST"
I glared at him.
"How dare you call me a ghost! Are you the one captain talked about?"
"Yes."
"Alright, follow me and be quiet."
He nodded.
He suddenly started shrinking and turned into a small reindeer that can stand on his legs.
'He must have eaten a devil fruit or something.'
I looked at all the guards around the castle.
*WOOSH*
I grabbed the reindeer and jumped into a window before anyone could notice us.
*WOOSH*
I started racing through the castle, and I knocked out every guard on my way while the reindeer was holding onto me for deer life.
After 5 minutes of running and knocking guards out, we finally appeared at the throne room.
The reindeer let go of me and ate a yellow ball. He suddenly transformed into a big monster like being and kicked the door open.
"WAPOL!!!"
'This idiot!'
[Sabo P.O.V.]
*BAM*
I knocked out the last guard in this village.
Ace and I gave each other a fistbump.
"We really showed them who's boss." said Ace
"We sure did."
In the corner of my eye, I could see someone hiding behind a building. When I turned towards him, he immediately ran away.
"It seems like the people here are scared of us." said Ace
"Well, they've been living a life of constant fear."
Suddenly a door opened, and a little boy walked towards us.
"Are you two hero's?"
"Nah, we're pirates." said Ace
"What!"
He was about to run back.
"But our captain said that he wants to free this land from its corrupt king." I said
He stopped and immediately turned around.
"Really!?"
I smiled and nodded.
"Wow, that's so cool!"
He had stars in his eyes.
"Everyone, these guys said that they are going to kick the king's ass!"
People started slowly coming out of their houses.
"Are you really going to take down the king?" asked an old man
"Captains orders." said Ace
"Who is your captain?" asked the kid
I showed them Ken's bounty poster.
"Wow! His bounty is so high."
"We will finally be freed from that monster!" screamed a woman
"YEAH!" screamed everyone
"Ken sure can use his head." said Ace
"He couldn't be our captain if he was stupid."
"May we know your names?" asked the old man
Ace showed them our posters
"Wow! You two are also really amazing!" said the kid
"Hahaha, we still have a long way to go. But we have to go right now. Do you guys mind tying these guys up."
"No problem. We'll take care of it." said the old man
"Alright, we will be off to the next village then."
Ace and I disappeared from there and started running towards the next village by following the signs.
*BOOM*
We saw an explosion at the castle.
"I didn't think that Laffitte would use a head-on approach." said Ace
"Yeah, I thought he would first sneakingly take out the guards and then find a way to assassinate the king."
[Laffitte P.O.V.]
