77 Chapter 77

"YOU BASTARDS!"

"If we touch that coffin, we'll get cursed and could die." said one of them

"We should have expected this from a mythical zoan fruit." said another one

"It seems like you've gotten lucky, kid. But since you aren't like your father, you will die in a couple of months. Be it of starvation or our people that will kill you once you leave this coffin." said another one

*WOOSH*

They suddenly disappeared.

*HUFF*

Vlad and I are both sweating.

'I guess there is a reason that they have the second-highest authority.'

*WOOSH*

I suddenly appeared in the throne room, and this time the thone wasn't occupied by IM but by Vlad's father, who is completely healed up.

"So, what is your name, stranger?"

I started looking around me.

"You're the only one here."

'What the hell is going on now? Well, whatever. Let's just see what's going on.'

"My name is Ken."

"It's nice to meet you, Ken. So what did you think of my son's memories?"

"Sigh. They're about what I expected, except for the guy that was sitting on the throne."

"Even I don't know him, and my grandfather was the one who helped the World Government rise up. But are you saying that you know the Five Elders?"

"Yeah, they're still kicking around as the 'highest authority'."

"Sigh. Those bastards got us good."

"Yeah, they sure did. I don't think anyone even knows you guys exist. I know too much for my own good, and even I didn't know about you guys."

"So, how is my son doing?"

"Can't you just check on him?"

"No, if I do that, his Devil Fruit will immediately destroy me. It is already a miracle that two people with the same power can exist. But I guess that could be because my soul is in a different plane."

'Different plane? Isn't that like the Door-Door fruit? He can open a door to another plane that is like the real world where he is safe. But this place seems is completely different.'

"That sucks. But was that guy said true? About me getting cursed and shit."

"If I deem you as a threat to my son."

'I doubt that he can actually do that just like that. Or his fruit must be really broken.'

"I got in this situation because I wanted to help him out."

"Hm, that's true."

"And are you really going to leave him in there? You said that he can get out of there if he is strong enough, but a coffin isn't the ideal place to become strong. And if my assumptions are correct, he is feeding himself with the blood of all the dead people. Which is f*cked up by itself. But from what I can see, he is about to run out of it."

I could tell that he clearly understood the situation.

"What guarantee do I have that you won't kill my son or bring him to the World Government?"

"Well, the World Government would kill me on sight, and I'm not the one you should be worried about. If I die here today, my crew will 100 percent find a way to kill your son. There is no doubt in my mind. He is lucky that the Five Elders didn't want to waste their time with him and let their underlings take care of it."

A heavy killing intent just bombarded me.

"Are you threatening me with my son!"

I smiled.

"Since he showed me the way out, I will guarantee his safety till we part ways unless his crazy father does something stupid."

"You bastard!"

I suddenly felt a heavy pressure coming over me.

'What the hell is this!? This isn't like anything I've ever felt. I feel like I just want to hand my soul over and serve him. Haoshoku Haki! Shit! What am I supposed to do in this situation!?'

I glared at him.

"I was just joking. There is no need to go so far."

*THUD*

The pressure increased ten times, and I fell on my knees.

He smirked.

'SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! This guy isn't doing this because of his son. I can tell that just by looking at his eyes. And his emotions aren't that of a worried parent. More like that of a crazy lunatic.'

"Hahaha! By the look on your face, I can tell that you've already completely seen through my facade."

"You aren't the kind father you're trying to portray yourself as."

"Yeah, I couldn't care any less about that worthless son of mine. He's just my puppet."

*HUFF*

I was getting short on breath.

"Tell me what is going on here, you bastard!"

"Hahaha, what does it matter? You're going to die anyway. But whatever. It's been a while since I've talked to anyone. I'm going to use the power Vlad has gathered to take over his body and come back to life! After that, I will kill everyone who has ever done me wrong!"

I was shocked.

'Why the FUCK are there so many fucked up parents! Is this why I was sent here? To help people with fucked up parents like me?'

"Hahaha, you look shocked. Is it really that surprising for someone that knows more than they should? This is how the world works. You use everyone and anyone to get what you want. If you don't do that, they'll use you. That just how it works. There is nothing you can do about it."

"All I hear are excuses from a weak idiot."

"Oh, really?"

The pressure increased again, and I was struggling to stay awake.

"All I see is a 'weak idiot' gasping for air like fish on dry land." said the bastard

'He isn't wrong, except for the idiot part. Compared to him, I'm weak. So how the hell am I going to get out of this!? Think Ken, think!'

"Hahaha, you really look pathetic, just like my useless son. But at least he managed to get a hot wife. Shit. If those idiots didn't attack, I would have had my time with her. It would have been funny if I did it in front of his face. His wife getting fucked by his father and her screamer 'harder'. It would have been the funniest thing ever."

"How?"

"Huh?"

"How the fuck could you be even worse than those fucking celestial bastard!"

"You bastard! How dare you compare me with them! Those traitorous fat bastards! While they were stuffing their faces and living off past fame, I was training my ass off and leading my people to create an amazing kingdom!"

"Are you talking about all those thousands of people that you're using to get back to life? Including your fucking son! I bet you've found this situation ideal. The more dead people, the stronger you'll become. When they attacked, you probably planned to escape and let everyone die and then come back after to reap the benefits. But because you couldn't escape, you turned to this even more disgusting plan!"

*CLAP*

He started clapping.

"Bravo, you've totally figured out my plan, except for the last part."

"Last part?"

"The part where I will revive and kill all of your crewmates! Hahahahaha!"

My heart skipped a beat.

"And I've seen that you have two pretty girls onboard. A small cute one, and a voluptuous mature one. I will make sure to give them a good time after I kill the rest before their eyes."

"Hehehehe."

"Huh?"

I stood up.

"Hahahaha."

"Have you gone crazy or something?"

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Shut up, you crazy bastard!"

The pressure increased again, but I didn't get fazed. I looked at him with a crazy smile.

*SHIIIIIIIING*

I took out Shusui and enveloped it with Haki.

"Hehehehehe. Congratulations, you're the first person to ever dare taunt me like that. And the third one that pushed me over the edge. For that, I will reward you with a first-class ticket to HELL!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Shit! Ken has finally snapped. Who would have thought that Vlad's father is actually a perverted sociopath that is obsessed with power.

Wait. Doesn't that sound like a certain pale guy that somehow is still alive?]
