Journey to One Piece

317. Poison is the last defense

"That's quite the low opinion you have of someone. Someone who made the Navy run with tails behind their legs. What did you do except for hiding behind Linlin? Your elder brother took the whole responsibility of all the children around while she never cared. What kind of Mom is someone who makes her children have different classes among themselves, somebody has a higher status while some have lower, and it's only based on power. Only Katakuri has treated everyone equally. While you are just small children hiding behind someone," Ken didn't mince his words at all and spoke them just to make them choke.

Perospero was furious at how Ken uttered the name of his mama by her name. Nobody had the guts, and thus, in anger, he tried to hit him only to be thrown away into the sea with one attack. The crew had to jump into the sea and prevent him from drowning.

Smoothie was surprised that Ken had that much knowledge about the dynamics of the family. He even knew of Katakuri. This meant she would have to count her words, and threatening him with Big Mom wouldn't do any good.

"So you have come to just humiliate us?" Smoothie asked, trying her best not to blow up in anger and showed her calm demeanor.

"Humiliate? Na.. You have already been humiliated for the world to see. The winds are changing fast, and soon the old powers will be replaced. It's better if you stay away," Ken said. Smoothie just smirked and didn't say a word. "Anyways, the main reason I am here is, has the Vinsmoke family been in contact with you or Linlin?"

This made Smoothie flinch a bit, and that was enough for Ken to know what he needed to know.

"Good. Your face tells me the answer. Tell Judge not to come after Sanji. Sanji might forgive his family, but I won't, so they better stay away," Ken said. And with that, he slowly vanished away. Smoothie was just dumbfounded and at a loss for words. She didn't know what to say and just looked down in shame.

Not only was she not successful in obtaining the fruit, but also she just got humiliated by another person from the same crew. She couldn't remember such humiliation since she had known her family and siblings. She could already imagine the face of her Mama and wondered if she could even survive. Ken was right; Mama wasn't really interested in her children.

It was just her fulfilling her fantasy of having every single race in her kingdom.

She just sighed and ordered the crew to proceed to Whole Cake Island. Mama had already sent the whole invitation to the tea party and arranged a marriage. She was supposed to kidnap Sanji and take him away forcefully.

But everything went down the line after Luffy took care of all of them in the arena. She was doubting if she could have tried with Sanji, but seeing how Ken was able to make fun of them even on their own boat made her realize the ground reality.

Only Katakuri can save them at the moment.

After Ken disappeared, he was on another ship. And this ship belonged to the Beast Pirates. Of course, Ken was here for Jack. The moment Ken appeared on the ship, he was barraged with attacks. Unlike Smoothie's ship, these people seemed to be mad and attacked them.

While they were attacking, Jack was the one who took drastic measures. When Ken appeared suddenly on the ship, he knew that talking with him would be of no use because the eyes of Ken were enough to make him realize that he wasn't here to talk but rather with some mission. And thus, he ordered his subordinates to engage him.

And thus, he did.

Ken didn't outright use his techniques but handled each and every one of them lunging towards him with hand-to-hand combat. He normally never engaged in hand-to-hand combat as it was never required, but today he felt the need to do so and unwind himself.

The body of the One Piece world, Obito's enhanced body, and having the Commander's body with him gave him such an edge that very few bodies in the current world could compete with him, and that included Kaido too.

He took them quite easily, but Jack was getting ready for his own sneak attack. He didn't attack directly; instead, he just launched a deadly gaseous poison on the ship. In a matter of seconds, the whole ship was filled with green-colored aerosol poison.

After fighting Luffy, he and Sasaki were on edge. They wanted to bring more crew and take down the Straw Hats and the Navy.

At least that was the thought of Jack. He might be very powerful and hot-tempered, but that didn't mean he was stupid. Since Ken was here, he needed to contain him.

"You thought you could just walk over us. Experience the newly made poison by my own brother. This should be enough," Jack spoke loudly while wearing a huge mask. Following him, many of the crew were also wearing masks.

But doing this stunt had also cost him a small number of his own crew, but Jack didn't care. There was a huge fog of green poison, and they waited for the fog to dissipate to take away Ken and then threaten the Straw Hats.

"These Straw Hats think that they can get away after what they did. Jack-sama, I heard the Straw Hat cares for his brother. We can get the fruit from them and also destroy them," Sasaki said.

"That's right. Oye, go and bring the body of Ken. He is quite the item," Jack ordered. The fog was so thick that when the poison was launched, nobody saw where he had gone, so the crew got into search mode in this huge ship.

The search went on for a few minutes, but Ken couldn't be found. This agitated Jack a bit.
