Journey to One Piece

237. You can go back

"Damn you, Punisher Kenny!" Magellan roared as he tried walking towards Ken and catch him with his own hands. But the weight was getting heavier with every passing second. The prisoners and the jailers around looked at Ken in horror. When Ken killed the prisoners, they thought he was only able to do so because they were tied and weak.

But now that they saw how Ken toyed with the most feared warden of Impel Down, they gulped. Magellan tried his best, but soon he was wrapped all around in pieces from all sides, and not a sound could be heard. A huge ball of broken pieces laid on the floor.

Ken sighed as he looked at Magellan. He didn't hate Magellan per se. He was just doing his duty, it's just that he was on the other side. Ken looked around with his Rinnegan eyes, which made everyone fearful and caused everyone looking at him to avert their eyes.

"Remember, if you take the side of Blackbeard, you will be treated much worse. At least Magellan is still alive; you won't be," Ken said. Jinbe didn't have to do much in the end. The warden and jailers actually ran away after they saw Magellan being played with. It was horrifying for them.

"Ken-kun, you have surprised me."

"Hahaha... I wouldn't have done so if I wasn't very confident in my abilities," Ken smiled.

"Hahahah... I am Jinbe, Captain of the Sun Pirates."

"I am Monkey D. Kenny, a crew member of the Straw Hats."

"Ace did speak a lot about you. Hahaha... How will we escape the prison?" Jinbe asked with a huge smile on his face. He was glad that Ken was this powerful. Whitebeard was already supposed to go, and having him on their side would be quite the help.

"Don't resist," Ken said, and then one of his started sucking Jinbe in. He was a little apprehensive but chose to trust Ken in the end. With that, both Ken and Jinbe disappeared. The other prisoners who had been silent heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Ken and Jinbe leave. He was a nightmare.

Impel Down had already sent the report of what had gone down. Two hours after Ken left, the jailers were finally able to free Magellan after dragging him back to Level 1. After a long struggle, they were finally able to free him. But during those two hours, Impel Down experienced another attack.

An attack that came from Blackbeard.

He had arrived with Van Augur, Lafitte, and Doc Q. Van Augur now had a new mechanical eye, while Burgess wasn't to be seen anywhere. Van Augur had his eyes replaced and made a mechanical eye specially for him. Of course, it wasn't anything like the ones Franky has, nor was it Vegapunk who performed the surgery on him. It was just a normal eye, but having him as the sniper showed how powerful his ability was.

Blackbeard came and caused havoc in all the levels, and since the wardens and the jailers were mostly injured, they couldn't stop him. He ran wild in all the levels and finally reached Level 6.

"Jehahahaha... Finally here," Blackbeard laughed with his crooked teeth and proceeded to find potential crew members that he had checked from before. But this was where he got a scare.

All the prisoners that he wanted to free were lying dead with their heads missing.

"How is this possible? Who killed them?" Blackbeard's smile was gone, replaced by anger. "Can anyone tell me what happened to them?"

There was complete silence in the prison. Now that Blackbeard arrived at Level 6, there was an eerie feeling. It was as if something had come and destroyed the place, making it almost ghostly.

"Is it Blackbeard?" A voice broke the silence of Level 6. Blackbeard turned around and saw a man with a golden hook on his hand. This was Crocodile.

"Crocodile... Jehahaha... You are still alive... Yes, I am Blackbeard... Are you willing to join my crew?" Although Blackbeard was irritated that his favored personnel had been killed, he didn't want to ruin his mood too much at the moment with it.

"Then I would advise you to leave," Crocodile said.

"What are you talking about?"

"Punisher Kenny visited a few hours ago, and he warned us not to join your crew. It was him who killed the prisoners, and it was him who took down Magellan quite easily," Crocodile said. Blackbeard's face dripped with anger as he heard.

"What?"

"You can ask around, and you will hear the same answer," Crocodile said, and then he slowly went back to sit and enjoy life in prison. He regretted a bit now. For the first time in his life, he regretted trying to take down the Straw Hats in Alabasta.

It was the greatest mistake of his life. Probably more so than taking on Whitebeard.

"Kenny... Kenny... The brother of Ace..." Blackbeard said as he touched his right arm, which was heavily bandaged. He could still remember how Ace was able to tear off the muscle from his arm with his dragon-like claws.

He really thought he was a goner until Akainu arrived and took him down together. He could still feel the pain and the bruises left behind by Ace. And now, his brother too was proving to be a hindrance to his plans.

He gritted his teeth in anger, and maybe a little more pressure on his teeth would fall off.

"I will free anyone who is ready to join my crew." Blackbeard shouted loudly. There was no repsonse in all of Level 6. He could even hear some scoffs from some prisoners.

"I will be a Yonko soon after killing Whitebeard. Don't you want to be in the crew of an Yonko?" Blackbeard shouted again. Still no response.

"Punisher Kenny.. I will get back at you. I will kill your crew mates.. And then I will kill you." Blackbeard whispered under his breath. He was furious what had transpired and wanted revenge.
