Journey to One Piece

12. Magic

Mjolnir acted exactly as expected. The hammer struck the wrist at high speed and momentum and this brought enough pain for Porchemy to let go of his sword. He screamed in pain. But the icing on the cake was yet to come. The hammer which was thrown by Ken had already crossed quite a bit of distance after hitting the wrist and then magically the hammer that was supposed to have a parabolic arc and fall on the ground made a U-turn.

The hammer travelled back to the right hand of Ken!!!

In a span of a minute or two the people present had seen so many things that they could easily declare that such scenes would never be seen again by their eyes in their lifetime. A kid of 8 years old who had electric sparks all over his body stopped the attack of a cruel pirate without even moving and used a magical hammer to disarm the enemy. A hammer that travelled back to its owner after doing its job. Many had heard of Devil fruits.

Some of them even know about the classes of Devil Fruits but what the hell is this 'devil fruit' of Ken. Indestructible body? Hammer tamer? What the hell is he?

"Ken!! What the hell are you?" Ace was in horror himself. He had seen Luffy with his devil fruit but this was totally different. Ken didn't bother to answer Ace but looked at Porchemy who was screaming in pain. The hit of the hammer was enough to break his wrist joint. He was in immense pain.

"Porchemy!! How does it feel to be on the other end of the knife eh? You looted so many innocents. Killed children and women. They even say that you carve out the faces of your enemies. Now you will die soon and I won't even have to do anything." Ken smiled like a devil as he walked towards Porchemy. 

Ken was revolving his hammer at high speed now as he was ready to hit Porchemy again. He was burning in anger when he saw how he was torturing Luffy. Now it was his turn. Without wasting another moment, Ken used the high speed revolving hammer and hit right at the lower jaw of Porchemy who was on his knees. 

This hit alone lifted Porchemy off the ground and was thrown a few feet away. The lower jaw broke in multiple pieces and he lost his teeth as Ken made this single move. The other crew members were horrified seeing this and already made a run. The spectators also backed away due to fear. All it required was two hits to bring Porchemy to near death. 

And they were just average as compared to Porchemy. Ken didn’t care about the spectators and threw the hammer at the running crew members. The hammer flew away again and it hit one of the crew members and then just like before it returned to Ken. Ken repeated the same thing with the other 2 members. 

This single hit was enough to break the spine of one, leg of one and the collar bone of the last person. Ken had aimed it perfectly to make sure that these three minions tell Bluejam what had happened. He wanted this Bluejam to fear after all he had other business with this evil pirate!!!

Finally the enemies were done with!! Though Porchemy wasn't exactly dead he would be dead in a day or two if Bluejam doesn't kill him. It didn't matter to Ken anyways as he returned to the trio who gulped their throats seeing the magical feat of Ken.

"Yo!! You must be Sabo. Ace has said many things about you." Ken said as he forwarded his hands to shake his. Sabo involuntarily shook Ken's hands.

"You must be Ken. It's nice to meet you." Sabo was surprisingly very polite here but his voice was shaking as he spoke those words.

"Let's go back! Shall we?" Ken said as he started walking out of the dilapidated hideout. The other three were silent as they followed Ken. The spectators hid or escaped seeing Ken coming out. This kid was something else so it was best they don't mess with him. They even photographed the faces of Ace, Sabo and Luffy so as not to mess with them in the future.

Ace and Sabo were already famous in Gray Terminal. But today they would be famous even in the center of the Goa Kingdom after this. Today's deed will be legendary which will be recounted for days to come by. 

After walking quite a bit of time the 4 reached the new hideout which Ace and Sabo had built so quickly. And seeing that Luffy was safe he broke into tears. Ken had already brought some bandages and he helped Luffy stop the bleeding. It was fortunate that Luffy won't be needing any stitches on his body like the one under his right eye. 

Luffy was crying nonstop as Ken helped Luffy in bandaging. Other than Luffy, Sabo and Ace were silent and they didn't know what to say. They never expected the day to end in this way. And after the bandages Luffy finally stopped himself and looked at Ken and said

"Thank you." He bent his head as he really meant it. Ken shook his head and said 

"You would have been saved anyway by Ace and Sabo. They had already reached there to save you. I just made the process easier." Ace and Sabo's faces were red after hearing that. What Ken did there was legendary and by now means they would be able to do this. Ken just beat the shit out of everyone with a hammer!!!

After Luffy calmed down Ken asked 

"You have questions I presume. Ask!!" After a moment of silence Ace took the courage and asked

"What the hell are you? When I tried to convince you before to join us you never did but why now. All these years we suffered. If you had said that you have so much power we would have led a good life." Ace was angry. He had always considered Ken as one of his best friends. But now he realised that he was deceived. This guy was hiding all this time.
