94 Chapter 94

I went back to the ships, but I saw some Fish-Man surrounding my ships when I arrived there.

"Come out, Azure Ken!"

Isn't that Hody Jones? What does he want with me?

"What do you want with Captain?" asked Robert

"Your Captain is the one that killed Arlong!"

"What about it? I heard he was scum, so why are you defending him?"

"You bastard! How dare a lowly human talk down to him!"

"Did you come here to kill, Captain?"

"After I've made an example out of him."

"I see. Ey guys, stay out of this one."

"What, why? I also want to have some fun." said Ace

"Because I said so."

'Damn, Robert is really putting Ace in his place.'

Shadows suddenly started coming out of his body and started moving towards Hody Jones and his 10.000 soldiers. The ground turned black in an instance, and they got caught by the shadows.

"Don't think that the Captain is someone lowly scum like you can touch. Shadow Transfer."

All of them got sucked into the shadows and disappeared. I appeared on the ship.

"That's impressive, Robert. You're really making me proud. Where did you send them to?"

"It was nothing. I just sent them to play with some big animals."

"You're so cruel. But I like it. We'll be leaving in a couple of days. I've done whatever I wanted here, so there is no need to stay here any longer."

'I'm sure that Hody will survive, but his men will take a thrashing.'

"Paulie, start coating the ship."

"Yes, sir!"

"Laffitte, take care of the rest."

"Yes, Captain."

I was about to walk to my room when I got stopped by Robin.

"Can I talk to you about what I found?"

"Follow me."

She followed me to my room. I sat down on the bed, and she sat down on a chair.

"What did you find?

"I've found a Poneglyphs in the Sea Forest. I think it is an apology letter. The message was written by a man called Joy Boy. In the message, he apologizes to the people of Fish-Man Island for breaking his part of a promise, which involved returning to Fish-Man Island to carry out Noah's purpose. I don't know what he means about Noah's purpose or what promise he broke."

"Joy Boy, huh. Ever heard of him?"

"No, but I think he is from the Void Century. He mentioned Poseidon in his letter. Do you think he is talking about the ancient weapon?"

"I think so."

"Do you think that Shirahoshi knows about the power she holds?"

"Probably not. It may not even have been awakened."

"Is that why you became friends with Shirahoshi?"

"Tsk, who do you think I am? I completely forgot about Poseidon. But I won't say that I'm not glad that I became friends with her. And who are you to judge me anyway? Have you already mastered how to fly?"

"I've told you that it is impossible with my Devil Fruit, Ken."

I glared at her.

"Are you saying that I'm wrong?"

"N… No, sir!"

"Then go and train!"

"Yes, sir!"

She ran out of my room.

'Hahaha, being a Captain sure has its perks.'

I grabbed my Den Den Mushi and called someone.

"What do you want?"

"Wow, that isn't the way you should greet someone that has found your long lost little sister."

"Where?"

'He is staying surprisingly calm.'

"We'll be leaving in three days. You can come and join us then. We'll take you to your little sister then."

"Where is she?" he said in a less calm voice

"Oh, what is this? My Den Den Mushi is getting sleepy. I can't talk to you any longer, so I'll see you in three days."

I hang up before he could say anything.

'How evil it might sound, I kinda want her to have a bad past. Something like being hurt by the World Government. That will give me the perfect opportunity to get him to my side. Now all I need to do is wait for Paulie to finish with the coating and Aokiji to arrive.'

[3 days later]

I was sitting on the deck, reading a book while enjoying a drink.

"Captain, I'm finished." said Paulie

I looked at the coating on the two ships.

"Good job. You're definitely a genius Shipwright."

"Thank you, Captain!"

"We're ready to leave, Captain." said Laffitte

"Good, we're waiting for someone. When he arrives, we'll leave."

"Who are you waiting for?" asked Sabo

"You know him. He is an ice-cold guy."

"Ice cold? You're so vague sometimes."

"Just wait and see."

[3 hours later]

We're in the kitchen eating lunch when someone suddenly walked into the kitchen. When my crew saw him, they immediately got ready to fight.

"You're late."

"I can't just leave whenever I want."

"Whatever, sit down and eat something."

Everyone looked shocked at our interaction.

"Don't worry, guys. He is my friend, so he won't hurt you."

"You shouldn't give them any guarantees."

"Shut up and sit down. We'll leave right after lunch. Perona, give him some food."

"Y… yes, sir."

She gave him a plate with food, and after we finished eating, we started leaving Fish-Man island. I gave Aokiji a room and told him to stay there till we arrived at our destination. And he didn't argue with me since he likes sleeping and he also knows that he can't be spotted with me.

"Shouldn't you say goodbye to Shirahoshi and the rest?" asked Sabo

"It's better this way. I don't want to get bombarded with her huge tears."

"Fair."

"KEN!"

When we were about to leave Fish-Man island, I heard someone scream my name.

"Sigh, why does this always happen to me?"

"Yohoho, you might be cursed."

"Shut up before I curse you to depression."

He immediately hid behind Sabo.

I saw Neptune and his 4 kids on a whale flying towards us. They flew next to my ship.

"Ken!" screamed Shirahoshi

"What do you want, brat?"

She started crying.

"Why are all of you leaving without telling me!?"

"Because I knew you would act like this."

"You could have at least come and said goodbye to us." said Fukaboshi

"What, are you missing my fist or something?"

He glared at me but didn't say anything.

"You're not my friend anymore, for not saying goodbye to me." said Shirahoshi

'What should I have expected from a brat?'

"Is that so. Well, that's too bad. I hope you're able to find a better friend than me."

"Wait, I was just joking!"

She started crying even more.

"I was just kidding. How about this. I'll promise you one thing."

She stopped crying.

"Really!?"

I nodded.

"Then promise to take me to a real forest."

"Is that all? Alright, I promise to take you to a real forest, and I'll even show you other places on the surface."

"You promise!?"

"I promise."

"Thank you so much. Robin, Perona, you two will also keep your promises, right?"

"Of course. After all, unlike Ken, we actually came and said goodbye." said Perona, and then she quickly put her hand on her mouth

"I see, so that is what happened. Neptune, Fukaboshi, Ryuboshi, Manboshi, and Shirahoshi. Thank you for your hospitality, but we have to leave."

I looked at Perona and Robin.

"When we leave, you two are dead." I whispered to them

"We should be the one to thank you. After all, you saved my daughter from that hell." said Neptune

"It was nothing. But don't make me come back here because she is in danger again."

"I will kill anyone that dares touch my daughter!" said Neptune

I nodded, and after we said our goodbyes, we left Fish-Man Island and started going back up to the surface.
