95 Chapter 95
We were slowly floating up to the surface.
"Guys, get ready for a fight."
"What, why?" asked Deuce
"They must know that we left. After all, Shirahoshi did leave quite the scene."
"Sigh, it better not be an Admiral again." said Sabo
"Probably. But who cares anyway. No one is gonna stop me from entering the New World. Not even a Yonko."
"That's big talk for someone so weak." said Ace
"I know, but luckily I have even weaker subordinates to let out my frustration on."
Sweat started dripping from his forehead, and he started slowly moving away from me.
"Nevermind, I'm not going to waste my time with weaklings."
He looked happy and angry at the same time. I walked to the front of the ship and looked out towards the surface.
'It will be fun to see Shanks and his crew again. I hope that Luffy will be able to make it here. It has already been one year since we started our journey, so Luffy will start his in 2 years from now. I do wonder who he'll get to join his crew. Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp have a high chance to join him again, but I'm not so certain with Nami.'
"Sigh."
'But knowing that brat, he will get here no matter what. And he'll probably end up stronger when he sees how much we're ahead of him. It will be fun to see if his plot armor is stronger than my future knowledge.'
Sabo and Ace stood next to me.
"Are you thinking about Luffy?" asked Ace
"I'm just thinking how surprised he'll be when he knows what we're capable of."
"We should call him. It's been a while since we have talked with Dadan and the rest." said Sabo
"Hm. Sure, but she's probably gonna scream at us for all the shit we have done."
They suddenly froze.
"E… Ey Ken, don't listen to him. I don't think we should call them." said Ace
"Pururururu."
"Too late."
"AAHH!" x2
They were about to run away, but I held them back.
"Calm down, I'm calling to the hideout, and you know that she never picks that one up."
"Hello, Dadan here, who is this?" said Dadan
Even I was a little surprised and scared, but I didn't let it show.
"Sup hag, it's us three."
"You brats! How dare you not call us till now!"
"Is that, Ken, Sabo, and Ace!?" asked a voice in the background
"Ey, give that back, you brat!"
"Shut up, old hag! Let me talk with them."
"Hahaha, it seems like they haven't changed one bit." said Ace
"Did you really expect them to change?" asked Sabo
"Haha, you're right. Those two will always stay as the old hag and the little brat."
"I heard that you bastards!" screamed Dadan
"Alright, calm down, Dadan. We just called because we wanted to ask how you guys are doing." I said
"Tsk, who are you to ask that?"
"Well, if you despise me so much, how about you give me back all that money I sent you?"
"I was just kidding brat, no need to go that far. We are all living in hell. This brat won't stop talking about you three and becoming the Pirate King. He is so annoying."
"Hehehe, I don't care about anything else." said Luffy
"It's good to hear that you're still determined, Luffy. But you need more than determination to surpass us. We're almost at the New World."
"New World?"
"It's the most dangerous part of the Grand Line. It's also where Shanks and the other Yonko's are."
"Wow! That's so cool. I'm going to train right away to beat all of you and Shanks."
I heard him run out of the hideout.
"Damn, he didn't even say goodbye to us at all." said Sabo
"But hearing how determined he is, is enough to get my blood pumping." said Ace
"Ey you brats, the New World isn't a place you can play around in, so be careful."
The three of us were shocked.
"Did the old hag just say that she is worried about us?" asked Ace
"No, that's impossible." I said
"There is no way that she could ever say something like that." said Sabo
"Gacha."
"And she hang up. To think that she could actually be worried about us."
"She must have really liked the money we sent her." said Sabo
"Captain, there is a monster chasing us!" screamed Robert
I looked back and saw a scary-looking fish that is half as big as the main ship chasing us.
"Van Augur kill it, and Paulie catch it. It will be our diner."
They nodded.
*BAM*
Van Augur killed it with one shot, and Paulie used his ropes to pull it to the ship. He dropped it on the deck.
"Captain! A much bigger one is approaching us at fast speed."
I looked at the monster that is two times bigger than the main ship.
*BAM*
*BAM*
*BAM*
Van Augur shot it three times, but the bullets bounced off.
"Captain, It's impossible to shoot through its tough skin."
I grabbed his gun, and it turned black.
"Try again."
*BAM*
This time it went right through its skull and killed it.
"Paulie, can you get it to the big ship?"
He nodded.
"Leave it to me."
He grabbed it with his ropes and threw another rope to Brogy, which he used to take the giant fish onto their ship.
"Good job, guys. Now let's have a feast before we arrive in the new world."
Everyone cheered.
Perona, Laffitte, and Ace started preparing the food. But Ace was only used as a barbeque. When the food was done, I told Sabo to go and call Aokiji, but I didn't expect him to actually succeed. When everyone was gathered, we had a little party, but Aokiji just ate some food and went back to his room.
[30 minutes later]
After we finished all the food and emptied a couple of barrels of drinks, we finally arrived at the surface. It was surprisingly calm. No marines, no bad weather, just a quiet sea with a beautiful blue sky.
"This isn't how I envisioned the New World to be like." said Robert
"I expected something horrible to happen too, but I'm not complaining. Laffitte, is the new log pose working?"
"Yes, Captain."
"Go towards the second most dangerous island that the log pose is pointing to."
He nodded, and when we were about to start sailing, we saw a fleet of fifteen ships sailing towards us.
"They look to be coming straight for us. What should we do, Ken?" asked Sabo
"Let's just see what they want."
We stopped opposite of each other.
A big middle-aged guy with a huge pink beard smiled at us.
"Azure Ken, I Pink Beard challenge you to a one on one fight to the death! I will show the world the strength of the Pink Beard Pirates!"
"Is that so. Well, I don't want to."
"Hahaha! It seems like you've scared him off, Captain."
They started ridiculing me, but I just smiled.
"Ey, Captain gay beard."
"What did you just call me!"
"I see that you have fifteen good looking ships which I'm interested in. So how about you hand them over to me?"
"Hahaha, who the hell do you think you are!?"
I unsheathed my sword, and the next second, his head fell on the ground.
"I'm a pirate!"
"AAAHHH!!!"
His crew started screaming and panicking. I snapped my fingers, and my crew moved out. 10 minutes later, there was no one left alive on the ships. 15.000 men died in just under 10 minutes.
"Robert, store those ships, and let's continue on our journey."
"Yes, sir."
A minute later, we were back on our way.
'This is easier than buying or building ships. I just need to find people to board these ships, and it'll be the start of my army. If I didn't find that guy so annoying, I might have recruited him and his crew, but there is nothing to do about it.'
I looked out onto the horizon.
'Look, little brother. I'm close to accomplishing my dreams. And after all that is done, I can finally join you.'
