Change Of Plan

The merchant ship is the same size as a marine standard ship. It's not too grand but pretty decent looking. Having around 2 canons on each side and is painted in red and green.

kei put most of his belongings in his little boat instead of the merchant ship and have his boat tied up to the merchant ship. They then set off towards Logue town.

Before shells town disappears from view, kei saw all the women's that he have a sexual relationship with when he was in shells town crying while waving goodbye to him.

Kei just winks and wave goodbye until shells town is no longer visible.

Looking at kei action, the ship crew laugh and tease him

----

One day later,

The journey was smooth and boring and kei just spend most of the time looking at the ocean or stay in his room like a shut-in and ask to not be disturb.

Kei was invited to stay in a free room specially prepared for him. Although Kei was curious about why the merchant is treating him so nicely.

But every time he asks, the merchant will try to change the topic. Although the merchant is awfully suspicious. kei knew that the merchant can't do anything to him.

It's a merchant from east blue, Just what harm can he do to kei who can fly and blast the merchant ship away in seconds.

----

Three days later,

Base on the merchant ship speed and the detour they take, The journey to Logue Town will take around two weeks plus. Kei was still treated nicely and although the merchant is still suspicious in kei eye. The merchant doesn't seem to have that bad of intentions so kei just let it slide for now...

Kei was bored to death because there's nothing that he can do here. His room is not that big even though it was specially prepared for him so he can't train his fighting techniques or train his devil fruit power much.

During this time of boredom, kei starts to miss all the stuff from the earth like manga and anime.

---

A week and a half later,

No exciting event happen the past few days but now something interesting have finally happened. The merchant ship got stopped and was attacked by a pirate group called the muscle pirate.

"Hiek! It's the muscle pirate flag! Their captain Muscle Max is worth 11 million beli!"

Hearing what one of the ship passengers said. Kei eye showed some interest towards this pirate group. It was his first time meeting a pirate that have a bounty of over 10 million beli so his heart skips a beat in excitement.

Each of the pirates are muscular, especially their captain Muscle Max. A pirate with a bounty of 11 million beli. Around 30 pirates including Muscle max have Invade the ship deck

----

There are around 20 bodyguards on this ship who each is an expert of martial arts in east blue standards.

Each of them then forms a circle surrounding the pirate with a stance ready to fight.

Kei was excited to finally see some action. He was hoping the bodyguards and pirate will put up a good fight that can entertain him but alas. Not everything will go as you hope

The bodyguard that was hired was pretty much useless against Max. None of the bodyguards that starts the attack against max could withstand max punch power and each of them gets knocked out in 1 hit.

"Gwahahahahaha, go plunder every valuable and kidnap every woman you find! leave no man alive!" Max said after killing a few of the bodyguards

" Yes sir! "

His man replied with a tone full of excitement and joy. There are a few girls on deck and when they saw the girls, all the pirates look at them with eyes full of lust

The bodyguards lose around 6 people to max and although max decided to sit back and relax while leaving his lackey to do the hard work. The bodyguards still have a hard time against all of those muscular pirates.

As the fight start to heat up

Kei just watches from the sidelines, he was observing the capabilities of this pirate group that is worth more than 10 million beli. Of course, he was not impressed at all by their performance. He could tell that he can KO the whole group without trying hard if he uses his power.

Although doing nothing but looking at the sea the past week was really boring. The merchant is still very suspicious in kei eye and he doesn't want to just blindly help out people that he doesn't know what sort of intention they have towards him.

Looking at how blood starts to spill and people start dying. Kei was itching to join in. Although his weird thirst for battle starts to heat up. He tried to control himself from joining the fight unless it was absolutely necessary.

Kei then instead of looking at the fight, he observes Muscle Max. Max was big in stature and his muscle have a lot of bulging veins that it make him look like he is angry all the time. Looking at him, kei felt like he really wants to practice his fighting techniques on this huge and durable looking punching bag.

----

While the people on the merchant ship were panicking, Kei looks like he was just there enjoying the show knowing that nothing bad will happen to him. Of course, this caught the head merchant's eye.

Although a bit reluctant, The merchant then heads towards kei in hope that kei could help fix this predicament.

" Ummm... Kei-san, I know that you have some sort of devil fruit power because when my daughter and I were torturing jarvin. He keeps cursing and saying that none of his attacks could damage you.

I have seen a few devil fruit users myself so I can tell that your strong body is impossible except if you have eaten a devil fruit. if possible I would like to buy your service to help defeat this pirate group" he said while rubbing his hand together none stop.

The merchant's hand was sweating and his expression is full of worries. Kei was silent do a few seconds and then.

" I see, so the reason you treat me so well is because you know im a devil fruit user. Fine, I agree. Since you guys don't have that bad of intention then I will help out for free"

Kei already expects that his secret about being a devil fruit user will be spilled out sooner or later because most of the people that attack him leave no scratch and will probably know that something is not right.

This is also one of the reasons he doesn't want to sit still in one place because he was worried that some battle maniac will start to challenge him and disturbing his daily life. Sure he likes to beat up people now but only the evil ones.

If good people start challenging him, not only will it be bothersome. he might end up beating them to death without showing mercy because he can't control his strength or his lust to beat people to a pulp.

Kei was worried that this merchant is a weird bastard that plan to rob him because he made some money but it seems that this merchant was only trying to use his power as some sort of insurance if something goes wrong. A devil fruit user in east blue is something to be reckoned with after all in the eye of the mass.

Anyway, kei is also itching to beat up some people now. He realized that his thirst for fights is not what his old self would like and he is also worried that he is going to be a battle maniac that doesn't know how to show mercy in the future.

----

A smile appeared on the merchant's face. He felt like he just manages to consult a tiger to not eat him when he talks to kei. because the aura that kei emitting during his silence was that of a fierce beast that could end his life in mere seconds.

As soon as kei joins the fight, Strong wind starts to revolve around him. Then half of the members of the muscles pirate start to float up. The Merchant group was astonished looking at the scene while the pirate group was scared because it only happens to them.

Kei uses the power of the wind to make his enemy float. Then looking at the floating people, kei launch an air blade that mercilessly cut off their body part in mid-air. The deck was raining with blood, stomach acid, and intestines.

Now the merchants and pirates are horrified by kei ruthlessness, The smell of body fluid starts to get strong, and people on board start to throw up because of the scene and smell.

Everybody froze in fear, And even the pirate captain Max was shivering looking at the scene. What he thought would be an easy hunt was what will cause their doom.

" Cal-Calm down sir, I didn't realize that this ship was guarded by a powerhouse. I'm willing to give you all of the treasure that I have as long as you let me and my crew go "

Muscle Max was scared to the extreme right now. Just looking at kei make his leg felt weak and his body is drenched with sweat now.

Devil fruit user is rare but someone with a bounty of 10 million plus should at least heard some rumor about it. And Max has indeed heard of it. Now the scene that just happens before him have proved it that the person in front of him can't be a human but the devil itself.

---

<Kei Pov>

Oho, surrendering already? For a muscle freak, this guy sure is smart.

Unfortunately, im not going to let any of them live. Not only did they kill as soon as they defeat their enemy, but they also tried to kidnap the females on board.

I ain't no hero but I don't like sex offenders. And the captain bounty of 11 million is pretty good so this guy should be glad in hell that he was my first above 10 million hunt.

----

All the people on the deck were silent waiting for kei answer. Then..

" No thanks, I prefer your bounty " kei said with a normal looking smile on his face.

" Gwahahahahaha, I see. Then take this, you bastard! 'Heavy Muscle Punch' "

Bam!

A solid hit was made on kei face. Max was glad for a short second because his punch connect but then he realizes that kei did not move at all. Panic start to struck him and with a scream, he launch hundreds of punches

'Punch Barrage!'

The onlookers were looking at this scene with their mouths open. The Muscle pirate member was starting to celebrate because their captain was going full power and they can hear that each punch was a hit. While the merchant side was scared that their only hope failed and they will be the next victim.

"Oi oi, you already hit me once. You shouldn't cut in line and let me punch you next"

Bam!

Max was sent flying, the people were shocked, They felt like they heard the sound of a cannonball being launch right beside them. Then looking in the direction where huge water splashes out. They saw it, it was max who was struggling to swim.

Kei was disappointed seeing that Muscle Max got sent flying and looking like he will die if kei punch him one more time.

"How disappointing, I guess your huge bounty was just a fluke because your actual strength is less than a guy with 3 million bounties I met before. No need to thank me for giving you a quick death then"

Splash!

Max's head was cut off and it flies towards kei leaving max headless body slowly sink in the water leaving that spot in the ocean red with blood at the moment.

The floating head that have a terrified expression on it then arrives in front of kei. Grabbing the head, he then threw it on the deck.

Everybody was scared of kei now, no matter whether they are on the merchant side or the pirate side.

kei then kills off all of the pirates that are still alive, the merchant and his group were speeches. They knew that he was ruthless but the way he looks after killing all of those people is as if he just finishes killing some measly ants....

----

The next day,

Everybody was respectful towards kei, but kei can see that all of them feared him. The merchant, on the other hand, although he is scared of kei. His merchant's heart wants to make a connection with this strong powerhouse.

Kei can see that and he was annoyed by the way they ack now. The merchant keeps trying to get close to him and kiss his ass while the rest of them will be shivering the moment he gets close.

----

The next day,

They stumble upon a huge island. Curious, kei then asks about the island information from the people on board.

It seems that it was an island filled with fierce beast that is very strong so no sane person that knows about it will want to set foot there.

The phrase 'fierce beast' caught kei attention. Rather than go straight to Logue town and be bored while putting up with how the people on board ack. He rather fights some beast and then goes to Logue town at his own pace.

He told the people about his plans to train there and this is where they will part ways.

Everybody else except the head merchant celebrates this in their heart. His chance to get closer with an insanely strong powerhouse will disappear but he can't do anything about it.

Even when he asks for kei help before he felt like he wants to faint in his presence so if he tried to force kei to stay. He was afraid that he will end up offending kei and be the one to die next.

Before leaving, kei offers the merchant to buy the head of Muscle Max for 6 million beli. Of course, the merchant agrees because it was an easy money worth a few million even after the 30 percent cut.

Kei then happily hops on his small boat and goes towards the island without paying attention to the merchant crew.

.....

At the same time on the island that kei is heading...

A huge ship was docked on the opposite side of the island and it could be seen that some people have set up camp near that ship.
