Chapter 118

[3rd person P.O.V.

4 days later

Onigashima]

There are four people in a big room with one of them on his knees.

"I'm really sorry, sir Kaido! I didn't expect them to have someone so strong." said Page One

"Tsk, you dare come back here after losing to a brat." said Queen

"You said that he had an Ancient Zoan. Which one was it?" asked Kaido

"T… the Sabertooth Tiger fruit, sir."

"I want him. King, go get him."

"Hm!? But sir, we don't know anything about them. We now know that their footsoldiers are strong and that they have someone who has an Ancient Zoan. But we have no clue at all about how strong they have become since 2 years ago." said King

Kaido smashed the bottle of sake in his hand on the floor.

"Are you scared of some little bastards!"

"I just think that it isn't a good idea to rush into things."

"I also think that this isn't the best time to attack them again. Whitebeard and Big Mom are closer to them right now, so there is a big chance that they'll fight first. When that happens, we can easily get all the info we want and get that guy with the Ancient Zoan." said Queen

Kaido grabbed a new bottle of sake and chugged it down.

"Fine, let's see how much they can squirm."

[Ken P.O.V.]

Our 17 ships docked at an island or, should I say, my new island. It's a round island that is even bigger than Dressrosa. It's between Punk Hazard and Karai Bari Island. This island is a forsaken kingdom. Crime runs rampant here, and the World Government completely ignores it. The king of this place is also as corrupt as they come.

And it's even more fucked up since there are 2.000.000 innocent people in this place. The king just throws some money at the WG, and with it goes the people's hope of ever getting back their freedom. It might be even worse than the situation in Wano.

I looked at the criminal bastards who're all watching us and the poor people who are peeping through their windows. I turned around and looked at my crew.

"I want every criminal bastard on this island dead before midnight! And make sure to keep the innocent citizens safe!"

"YES, SIR!"

Screamed all my 11.000+ men. All of them stormed into the island, including the main crew and the giants' crew. Little by little, I started to hear screams and could feel people's lives fading away.

'There might be 2.000.000 innocent people on this island, but the actual number of bastards is only 15.000. But they don't work together. They are all spread out in little groups, which makes them easy pickings. Then there are the 20.000 royal guards who are just as bad. They are like the leaders of the criminal bastards. But they're all drunk 24/7, so they are just easy to take out.'

I looked up at the palace, which looks like heaven compared to the civilian houses which are about to fall down. And there are also good looking houses close to the palace, which might be the houses of the 'important' people.

I disappeared from my place and in an instant arrived at the front of the palace. I kicked the door open and saw some scared maids looking at me. I just ignored them and walked further into the palace. Laffite already came here to scout it out, so we already had a plan beforehand and a map of this island and palace.

I walked straight towards the throne room and cut down all the guards that got in my way. When I arrived at the throne room, and saw 5 old guys sitting at a table while looking really stressed. One of them has a crown on his head. He is the King. And standing next to him is a blond girl that looks a little younger than me. She's the princess of this Kingdom.

When I walked in, they all look at me with horrified looks.

"W… what do you want, Azure Ken!?" asked the king with a scared voice

'I'm a famous guy, alright.'

"Your life."

He almost fell out of his chair.

"Can't we get to an agreement? I'll give you anything you want."

He kept looking behind me at the gate while talking to me.

"Stop getting your hopes up. Those Royal guards have their hands full with just surviving."

I could feel the last strand of hope that the 6 of them had left their bodies.

"There is nothing you have that can satisfy me anyway."

He suddenly grabbed his daughter.

"What about my daughter? She's a beautiful girl. You can do whatever you want with her."

I looked at his daughter, who looked at me shyly. Her body is full of bruises, which makes you think she is getting abused.

"Fine, if you give me your daughter, I'll let you go."

When they were about to smile, a loud bang was heard, and his daughter fell down dead with a bullet in her head.

'Like hell, I'll agree to that. She is just as bad as her father. She is an M, which is why she has so many bruises. Laffitte told me that the 5 old men in this room have all taken a go at her and that she enjoyed it all the way. I don't want to know how he got that information, and I didn't ask him.'

"Oops, my finger slipped. Now that your bargaining chip is gone, what will you do?"

They looked like they were cursing me with every word they knew.

"We'll do whatever you want, just please let us live." said the King while crying

"Alright, undress."

"Huh, but…"

"Undress to your underwear now!"

They quickly did as I said and took off all of their expensive clothes. Some of them even took out hidden weapons.

"Now, all of you on your knees."

They did as I said.

"Uhm, sir, if you wanted us to suck your dick, you could just have asked."

I appeared in front of him and kicked his head like a soccer ball making his upper body bend backward, and because of the position he is sitting in, he got flown back forward. I stopped him with my foot.

"Don't get me wrong, you bastard, this is just the perfect position to make you into my kicking bags."

"Before he could say anything else, I kicked him in the face again."

[6 pm]

I was looking out of the balcony of the throne room, bored out of my mind. I can't even sit down on the throne since I don't want to imagine what happened on that thing. I should have someone make me a new and improved one.

Ace and Sabo suddenly walked in. They looked at the six people lying on the ground with smiles.

"What is it?"

"We're finished. All the criminals are dead, and we took all of their valuables. We also took care of the royal guards and took their armor and weapons." said Ace

"We lost a total of 600 people." said Sabo

'That was pretty fast. We took over a whole kingdom in less than 7 hours.'

"That's more deaths than I expected, but a battlefield is an uncertain place. Anything could happen when you least expect it."

"We got all of the citizens waiting for you outside. You better not mess up our hard work." said Sabo

"Don't worry, I'll make sure to have them bow to me today."

"Say, who is that girl that you killed?" asked Ace

"The princess."

Their faces turned green like they were about to throw up.

"So, Laffitte wasn't just joking. I really don't want to see what he saw." said Sabo

"Let's forget about that and go greet the people."

I grabbed the king's head and dragged him along while Ace and Sabo grabbed the remaining four.

We arrived at a big balcony, and I could see a lot of people who looked miserable. I got a little nervous, seeing so many people waiting for me to say something.

'There is no microphone, so I should just talk loudly.'

"People of Vulcan Kingdom! As you might know, my name is Ken, and we are the Azure Pirates!"

I held the king up, and the people's expression turned from miserable to happy in an instant.

"This guy is your former king! The guy that is responsible for how you guys have lived all these years! And today, we have put a stop to his reign and terror! So here is a little present from us!"

Ace, Sabo, and I threw the 5 guys towards the crowd. I didn't hit them that much so they're still perfectly fine to receive a good beating. The crowd acted like they were predators that haven't eaten for years and pounced onto them.

After 5 minutes, there was already nothing left of them. They got beaten up so bad that you would laugh at anyone that says they look like humans.

"Now that that is done and over with let's talk about the reason I helped all of you! My crew and I are in need of a place to settle down! And when I found out that this place is forsaken by the World Government, I thought that it was the perfect place! Since both of us will never receive any help from them!"

The sad looks on their faces said a thousand words.

"It's easy to see all of the sufferings that you guys were going through, and even though I'm nowhere near a hero or anything like that, but even I felt a pain in my heart! How can the people who call themselves righteous just leave so many innocent people to fend for their lives because of a little bit of money! It makes me sick to think that they're the people ruling over this world!"

I heard people crying and saying that they completely agreed with me.

"So I'm willing to work with all of you to make this a place where you can wake up in the morning, not fearing for your life or going to the kitchen to find it completely empty! If you accept me as your leader, I'll make sure that any bastard that dares bring any of you to harm will be punished! Even if I got offered a billion berries, I wouldn't even think about betraying my people!"

I felt all of them becoming happy and pumped up. People started praising me and saying that they're willing to serve me. I smiled.

'This went way better than I thought. Now let's wrap this up.'

"If you agree with me becoming the leader and are willing to serve under me, bow down before me!"

They all immediately bowed down to their knees like they were bowing to their lord and savior.

"Hail, Sir Ken! Hail, Sir Ken! Hail, Sir Ken! Hail, Sir Ken! Hail, Sir Ken! Hail, Sir Ken! Hail, Sir Ken! Hail, Sir Ken! Hail, Sir Ken! Hail, Sir Ken! Hail, Sir Ken! Hail, Sir Ken! Hail, Sir Ken! Hail, Sir Ken!"

The cheers kept going and going.

'So this is what it feels like to be a hero. It kinda feels dirty. Definitely nothing for me. I should take a shower after this.'

[I'll give more details about how the island looks in the next chapter.

I want to change the name of this place, so if you guys have a fitting name, let me know.]
