Journey to One Piece

288. I like the other name

G5 was furious and wanted to get back at Ken but was stopped by Tashigi. She had seen the power of Straw Hats first hand in the Marineford and she knew that all of them together wouldn't be able to hold a candle to any one of the members of the Straw hats. 

And Ken was known to be cruel. From what she had heard , the previous Fleet Admiral didn't have any good thing to say about him after he was released from kidnapping and so much so that Fleet Admiral had left the Navy altogether and apparently do some introspection. 

Vergo was bruised quite badly as he had been just faceplanted at the wall. Smoker came forward to help Verg but instantly Ken showed the sword's edge at Smoker and said. 

"You better step back. We have been friends for quite a long time and trust me when I say this. He is scummier than the pirates." 

"We aren't friends." Smoker was incensed when Ken mentioned them being friends. They were never friends. Ken rolled his eyes and asked.

"Then why come after us if you aren't obsessed with us?" 

"Because I want to catch you, bastard." Smoker made his voice loud when he said that. 

"Yeah. My grandpa and Roger were great friends too, always showing up when Roger showed up. At the end took his son as his own grandson." Ken reminded which made Smoker speechless, but before he could come up with a comeback, they heard a laugh.

The laugh wasn't just a happy laugh but a maniacal and deranged laugh. It was Vergo who had gotten up slowly. His face was oozing blood and his costly overcoat seemed to have become red now. Law had his hand pointed forward, ready to take care of him. 

Law, who was silent, couldn't even begin to explain of how happy he was seeing Vergo drenched in blood. He could also sense that Vergo would be no match for Ken and he himself knew that he could take on Vergo. 

Ken and other looked at Vergo and after quite a long laugh, he calmed down and said. 

"You can't kill me or hurt me." Vergo said. 

"Someone has some sense in them it seems." Ken mumbled. "Why do you think I can't kill you? Because of these people? They can't even stop me if they come at me together, more so now when I have evidence you are a spy of Doflamingo. And Law here, first hand experienced what went down on that damned island. So I don't understand where you get your courage from?" 

Vergo was shaken when he heard Ken had evidence. Ken didn't need to lie as he really was very powerful. 

"You still can't kill me because we are tied with Kaido, the strongest creature, he is a Yonko that backs us and if anything goes wrong here, he will know. Law knows what this place is and you can't even touch us." Vergo seemed sure and proud of what he was saying. Ken looked at his eyes for a minute before he burst out laughing. 

Vergo stiffened when he heard Ken laugh. 

"You ... Hahahaha... You really think that taking Kaido's name will scare us, then you know nothing. Law, he is all yours." Ken said. 

"Room." 

A new room hemispherical transparent shield was created. Vergo was angry that Ken didn't bother to handle him himself but asked someone else. He felt humiliated. His whole body got laden with Armament Haki and lunged at Law while spewing. 

"You are so arrogant that you think this worthless kid can take me? You have no idea of how the world works..." Vergo wanted to say more but before he realized his body was cut in half. Including his bamboo.

He looked down horrified seeing how he was cut down so easily. Ken just looked at him with no emotions in his face as he knew and believed that Law could take him down. Law didn't disappoint at all. But Vergo wasn't down yet and again lunged at Law using his other hand to slam at him. 

And this time too Law cut him and this time vertically. With his Vergo, the one who had traumatized Law all those years and the reason why Corazon died had been avenged. He had always kept his emotions in check but he could feel that he was on the verge of tears. 

Smoker and others were already stupefied when Vergo admitted being a traitor outright. The navy men didn't want to believe it but Tashigi and Smoker knew that Vergo was a traitor. 

"You know Law, the previous proposition of mine still stands. Join us." Ken said. 

"No. We are only in alliance for taking him down and then go on separate ways." Law was adamant. Ken didn't push any more and then Ken proceeded to talk to Smoker about the kids inside and what was actually happening in the island including Caesar. 

Smoker and especially Tashigi was horrified when they came to know and ran through the corridor. Law and Ken just followed them slowly. Ken proceeded to take Vergo into his dimension and Law didn't stop that. 

"I am sure Caesar had known or seen what we started here, and knowing him, he will contact Doflamingo." 

"Yes, let him. I have something to do in this island that will make that smiling guy shut his trap." Ken said. Law's eyebrows arched but didn't ask further. They talked more but by that time they had reached the inner part of the whole facility. 

There he saw Luffy having a verbal fight with a young child. The young child had a shaved head in front while the side burns were long and was tied up on the end of his head. He had a haughty look on his face as he verbally fought Luffy and somehow Luffy indulged with him. 

He knew who this guy was. 

Momonosuke Kozuki, son of Oden. 

And beside Luffy was a guy who had his nose and jaw broken laid down unconscious. The famous Caesar Clown. Or as Ken liked to call him Gangster Gastino.
