69. Stars are still off limits
"I came here because you talked of an interesting pirate when you visited East Blue. Is he this one?" Mihawk showed a poster.
"Eh!!!"
"Luffy! So you have come."
"Hahaha... Luffy has finally arrived at the sea. Wow, such a high bounty." Shanks had a wide smile in the beginning but when he saw the bounty he had a 'surprise Pikachu' face. It had exceeded his expectations for this small kid he had once seen in that small village.
But it didn't matter. Since he had arrived it was time for some celebration. Of course, Shanks dragged Mihawk in as they drank ale and had a banquet. The tradition that came from Roger's crew of having banquets never changed.
Mihawk didn't refuse it and joined the celebration.
----
Cocoyashi village
The celebrations had finally ended and the Straw Hats crew were now ready to leave and this time they would go to the Grand Line. Nami already had the chart from Buggy and they just needed to follow it.
Nami had decided to leave with the crew and of course she did in dramatic fashion. Leaving the 100 million bellies but stealing the wallets of the villagers who had arrived to see the Straw Hats off.
"Hahaha... So funny... Hahaha."
"One day she will rob us all."
"Nami-swan is cute when she steals money from people."
Ken just shook his head at this. The people in the crew really had some weird hobbies. With that they set sail and reached the vast sea. The sea in East Blue was normal and there were no frequent huge waves and changes in weather so it was rather pleasant.
Meanwhile he also realized one thing. He was almost close to finishing his character progression. It was 98% and right now he could open the Bifrost.
"Luffy, I will try something. Nami, I want you to stop the ship here for sometime."
"Huh!! What do you want to do?"
"Did something happen?"
"No, I just want to try a new power." Ken said as he took out his Stormbreaker and flew away without speaking more. Zoro and others were already alerted and wanted to see what Ken was going to do.
In mid air, Ken raised his hand and soon a bright light fell upon him. The bright light that just fell on him looked like it was made of some kind of rainbow colored beam and soon it covered the body of Ken/. And after it covered the body of Ken for a few seconds it vanished and along with it Ken.
"Ahh.. Ken got eaten by a monster."
"Help.. Somebody help..."
"Idiot, didn't he say that he was trying a new power? Maybe this was his power." Nami said as she used her wand to see if there was any kind of invisibility magic here. But she couldn't find any. Ken had of course teleported away.
He teleported away to one of the old places he knew. The place where the 4 brothers used to practice and eat. A bright light suddenly appeared at the place and Ken emerged from that. The land under was burnt by the Bifrost like it normally does when one used it.
"Can I go to other planets? But I don't know the coordinates. Let's try my old home."
Ken raised his stormbreaker to open the Bifrsot again but it didn't come. His eyebrows creased as he didn't expect to open the Bifrost when he tried going back to his old home. There must be something stopping him from doing that.
He lacked basic information of the planet they were in and this answer could only be given by Vegapunk and Egg Island. For Ken, that island was more important than Wano. The information that Egg Island could have would unfold many of the mysteries of the world.
This time Ken did a sensible thing and opened the Bifrost to the place their ship had stopped. Ken was basically using the Bifrost as a form of teleportation. Ken appeared again near Going Merry and flew to the deck. Opening Bifrost at the deck would just burn a good part of the deck.
"Ken... Where did you go? That gave us a scare." Usopp was still a little scared because for him Ken was the one who had changed his life. It was him who had given him a power that he could only dream of.
Like Usopp, everyone was worried. Especially Luffy who was thinking some kind of monster ate him. Nami came forward and hit Ken right at the head.
"Don't pull stunts like that next time."
"Sorry, I just got a new power so wanted to check it out."
"What power did you get? Did you complete all the powers of Thor?" Everyone was excited hearing Ken. Ken was the oldest with his Devil Fruit so he might have completed one.
"No, but I am very close to that. Maybe on the next island I would be able to complete it. This is one of the powers of my Stormbreaker. It's a King's weapon so it can weapon Bifrost. Basically it allows me to travel the stars and teleport."
"Huh? Stars you mean outside this planet? You can travel the world with this axe? Damn!!"
"How is this possible? How can an axe be this powerful?" Nami and others looked at the axe with fear. They had known of the power of Mjolnir and nobody until now had been able to pick it up no matter how they tried and now this axe allowed Ken to travel in stars. This was a whole new level.
"Why is it impossible? You can also teleport and you can do that without your wand." Ken said to Nami as her magic allowed her to apparate which was a form of teleportation.
"That magic doesn't allow me to go to the stars."
"The dwarves used their best technology in this. There is nothing I can do." Ken said. Of course, Luffy didn't care about it and was just happy to see his brother back.
