Chapter 15

[2 weeks later]

We arrived at Loguetown. We hid our ship and got on land.

I looked at them.

"Listen up, guys. You can do whatever you want, just don't bring attention to yourself. Be back at the ship in 3 hours."

They nodded, and we all went our separate ways in the village.

I walked into a shop.

"Hello, can I help you with anything?"

I smiled at him.

"No, I'm just looking."

He smiled back.

"Of course, take your time, sir."

I walked to a section that said 100.000 a piece. I started taking out and unsheathing different swords.

"Hm?"

"Have you found something you like, sir?"

I took out a sword that had a red sheath and hilt. I unsheathed it, and it gave me a bad vibe.

'This must be the cursed sword, Sandai Kitetsu.'

"I'll take it."

He was shaking.

"NO!"

"Hm? Why not?"

"It's cursed."

I smirked.

"I know."

He looked shocked.

"You know it's cursed but still want it? Why?"

"If I let a sword control me, it means that I was never meant to be the best. Controlling this sword is only a small step to my goal."

He stared at me for a little bit.

"Fine, it's not my fault if something happens to you. That will be 100.000 berries then."

"Wait, do you have a better sword?"

"No, that is the best quality blade here."

"Really? That is quite lame. To think a 100.000 berry sword would be the best you have."

He looked pissed.

"Don't disrespect my shop like that!"

"It's your fault for having such a lame shop."

He looked like he was about to explode.

"I'll show you!"

He ran upstairs and came down with a sword. It has a black hilt and sheath with gold accents.

"This is one of the 50 Skillful Grade swords, Yubashiri. It is my family heirloom, and it's the best quality sword in my shop."

He had a smug look on his face.

"Now this is what I'm talking about."

I grabbed the sword and pulled it out of its sheath.

'It looks sharp.'

"Hey, put that back! Who gave you permission to touch it!"

"I'm also taking this one."

"What! I'm not selling that one!"

I grabbed my pistol and pointed it at his head.

"Last time I checked, I'm a pirate."

He started shaking and sweating.

"Look, this isn't personal or anything, I just want the sword."

"D… do you really think you can get away with this? There is a marine base on this island."

I smirked.

"I'll send smoker back to his momma if he comes after me."

I left the store with my two new purchases. I threw my old swords away and put the new two in their place. They were normal swords anyway.

'What I did was kinda bad, wasn't it. But who cares. He would have given them to Zoro anyway. And Yubashiri is much safer with me.'

[20 minutes later]

I was looking around the town when I got stopped by a big group of marines.

"So you're the sword thief." said someone from behind me

I turned around and saw Smoker.

"What do you want?"

He glared at me.

"Do you really think a pirate like you can just do whatever he wants? And where did you say you wanted to send me to?"

"So, you don't want to go to your mother?"

"That isn't what I meant!"

He took out his jitte, and I put my hands in my pockets.

He glared at me.

"Are you underestimating me!?"

I smirked.

<Soru>

I appeared in front of him and tried to kick his head.

He smirked.

"You've really underesti-"

<Busoshoku Haki: Enhancement> (This doesn't turn anything black, but it gives him the ability to enhance his ability and hit a logia. It's the most basic form of Busoshoku Haki.)

*BAM*

I kicked him straight against his jaw, sending him flying.

*BOOM*

He flew into a house, and it got destroyed in the process.

The marines jaw where all on the floor.

"CAPTAIN SMOKER!" they screamed.

They all quickly ran towards him, completely forgetting about me.

'I should finish my business quickly before they start annoying me again.'

I found a store that sells log poses, and I bought one. After purchasing the log pose, I went back to the ship and took a nap.

[2 hours later]

"Wake up!"

I woke up and saw Ace, Deuce, and Sabo.

I stood up and smiled at them.

"Yo guys, did you have fun?"

The glared at me.

"Didn't you tell us to not bring attention to ourselves?" asked Sabo

I nodded.

"Then why did you beat up a Marine Captain!" screamed Deuce

"Oh that, don't worry about it."

"What do you mean, don't worry about it? They know our faces. They know that we killed the Arlong Pirates and that rat guy. They also know about my devil fruit." said Ace

"Hm…"

I went into a thinking pose.

Then I looked at them and smiled.

"Who cares. They would find out about us eventually."

"Sigh." x3

I walked towards the front of the ship.

"Now, let's go up on Reverse Mountain."

"What is Reverse Mountain?" asked Deuce

"It's the mountain that connects the four blues and the Grand line."

"Is there a gate or something?" asked Sabo

"Nope, we are sailing up a mountain."

"Are you joking?" asked Ace

"I'm not joking. Now let's get this show on the road."

It didn't look like they believed me, but they still nodded, and a little bit later, we were sailing towards Reverse Mountain.

"Ken, five marine battleships are behind us!" said Deuce

"There is nothing we can do. Let's just keep going."

"I can use my flames to propel us forward."

"No, I need you for later. Sabo, keep an eye on them. Tell me when they do somethi-"

"KEN!!!"

'GARP!'

I quickly went to the back of the ship and looked at the marines. I saw a big old man with cannonballs in his hands.

"This is bad! Ace, Deuce, keep the ship heading straight for Reverse Mountain! Sabo, help me block the cannonballs!"

"KEN, GET BACK HERE NOW OR I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"

*WOOSH*

*WOOSH*

He started throwing cannonballs. Sabo used his pipe to deflect them, and I used my feet.

"Sabo, go get me some cannonballs!"

"Why do you wa-"

"NOW!"

He quickly ran into the storage room and came back with a lot of cannonballs. I grabbed one.

"I'll show you what I'm capable of, Garp!"

*WOOSH*

*BAM*

I hit their ship, but Garp didn't seem to care and kept trowing more. I also kept throwing them at his ship.

"KEN!"

"GARP!"
