Journey to One Piece

332. What do you want?

In response Ken let go of his disguise and sowed his face to everyone around. This made everyone's eyes wide with shock as they looked at the Devil's Incarnate. They had never expected this person to find them. Especially Zephyr. 

"Yo.. Neo-Navy.. I was thinking and expecting of you in the New World. Now I know the reason you never showed up." 

Zephyr clenched his fists as he looked at Ken. He wanted to pounce on him and fight against him but the moment he did that his location would be exposed and the Navy would be forced to retaliate since he was a fugitive. And his organisation was deemed as a terrorist organisation. 

"Punisher Kenny... Why are.. Why are you here?" Zephyr spoke through his clattering teeth. He hated the Straw hats. He blamed Weevil for whatever happened to his family but he also blamed the Straw Hats. It was because of the actions of theirs that the Navy had to take so many steps and led to the downfall of the Navy. 

Of course Ken didn't know that, and if he had known he wouldn't have cared. 

"Why of course to talk with you. Man to man." Ken said. This surprised Zephyr as he didn't expect him to talk. Anyways, he had already indicated to set up defenses and trap. Ken noticed it but didn't care. 

Zephyr welcomed him stiffly and Ken was all smiles as he entered his small tent. Zephyr was followed by his two students, which Ken didn't remember the names. It had been ages he had seen the movie so of course he had forgotten about their names. 

It was a miracle that he even remembered Zephyr supposing the fact that ken had gone through his teenage life and three long simulations, including one with Thor and Yamamoto. 

"What do you want, Punisher Kenny.?" Zephyr asked the moment both of them sat across each other. 

"This must be a serious downgrade from the way you have lied before." Ken didn't bother to answer that and said instead.

"I never cared about the luxuries in life." Zephyr said as he straightened his sunglasses. The sunglasses reminded Ken of Doflamingo. Two psychos. 

"True.. True.. You only cared about justice and nothing else." Ken said. 

"Rightful Justice." Zephyr corrected Ken. "You still haven't told me what you want." 

"Rightful? Are you okay? Do you have fever or something?" Ken asked as he looked at Zephyr. 

"What the hell do you want you bastard?" Zephyr shouted as he had lost his patience and his two hands had turned on the Armament Haki ready to pummel Ken. 

"I want you to give up whatever you are doing and surrender yourself to the Navy. If you don't want that, then be a pirate. Don't kill innocents just so you can achieve your dream of pirate-free world. That is impossible." Ken said. Those words made Zephyr shake his heart to the core. 

He didn't expect Ken to speak his aims out loud. Not even his subordinates knew what he really wanted. His subordinates only knew that the Navy had insulted him and their teacher wanted to rectify the seas. They didn't know his true aim of destroying the New world in order to bring an end to the Pirate era. 

But then he calmed down. He had known and even seen in live-feed of how Ken was able to get into the minds of people and make them weak by bringing their past up and destroy their ideologies. 

"Hahahah...." Zephyr laughed for a bit which surprised Ken a bit but he waited for Zephyr to speak. 

"They say you have devil words that bring out the worst fear of your opponents. They are not wrong. You do have a way to get into the heads of others. I think the Navy is wrong about your Devil fruit. You devil fruit probably has to do something with you reading their minds and then bringing out the worst fear of your opponents. Am I right?" Zephyr asked. 

Ken heard without a flinch in his face and he just smiled in response. Neither denying nor accepting it. 

"Your words don't really matter to me. I will do what I want to do and your words can't stop me." Zephyr said refusing to speak more about his ideals. 

"Sigh! No wonder your subordinates are ready to commit suicide just for you. There isn't really any cure for delusionals like you. Someone who thinks he is right even though in the depth of his mind he knows that he isn't. I just came here to warn you but it seems it doesn't matter. You will die by our hands anyways." Ken said as he got up. Zephyr had enough of his words and attacked him. 

Ken didn't even turn around as the punch of Zephyr went through the body of Ken and his landed on his face which destroyed the small tent. Dust and debris flew everywhere as everyone was ready with guns and cannons to take Ken down and they thought that Zephyr was hurt. 

Only after the dust settled did they realize that Ken and Zephyr was fine. Zephyr had a very surprised look in his face but it was momentary. Ken just walked past him and didn't seem to care. The others around didn't even need a command and began shooting Ken only for he bullets to go past him. 

This man couldn't be trapped at all. One of the subordinates had the ability to lessen the ages of things she touched. She tried to use that ability only to see her hand to go past Ken. Ken just smiled at them as they continued their assault. He vanished into his eye after a small walk which terrified the Neo-Navy. 

Zephyr didn't attack after the first punch didn't do any damage. He understood it was useless. But he didn't stop his subordinates to see if their abilities would affect Ken in any way. He was disappointed.
