Journey to the One Piece

"Let go of him!!!" With those huge war cries Ace and Sabo grandly entered the hideout of Porchemy and his crew. Ace being the hot head was the first to charge at Porchemy but he was easily caught by Porchemy. And seeing that Sabo had to sneak attack Porchemy to rescue Ace who was caught in his hands.

Luffy was particularly happy that Ace had come to rescue him but he feared for the life of Ace and Sabo.

"Sabo, free Luffy, I will deal with this big guy." Ace commanded and Sabo, getting the green light, had already started running towards Luffy. Of course he was stopped by other crew members but Sabo's was flexible, small and dexterous, this helped him manoeuvre through the crew members and even steal a small knife.

With one swing he was able to cut the ropes and hold Luffy on his shoulders who was almost unconscious now with all the beating and loss of blood.

"Ace, let's go. We don't need to fight them and let's escape."

Sabo was almost out of the hideout when he noticed that Ace wasn't running with him. When he turned around he saw that Ace was in a standstill moment against Porchemy. He was thinking of fighting him head on!!!

"Oi kid do you think we are some goons out of the wild. We are pirates. So you think you can beat us? You should be running." Porcehmy's veins on his head was visible at this point. He couldn't stand the fact that a 10 year old kid was standing in front of him ready to fight!!

By this time thunder heavily roared outside as the sun had already set. There were flashes of lightning among the clouds which brightened the Gray Terminal from time to time. Ace was ready to confront Porchemy while Sabo was horrified seeing that Ace stopped, suddenly there was a loud sound on the broken roof of the hideout.

Before they could even turn their head high up to see what caused the sound, a boy who looked like 8 or 9 years of age jumped down from above. He looked heroic as his body was covered by the suit which seemed like ancient Romans or Greeks might have worn on Earth in ancient times.

There were flashes of electricity running around his entire body and he had a hammer at his hand. The blue electricity was more visible and apparent on the hammer. The hammer looked fine and exquisite.

Porrchemy, his crew, Ace, Sabo and even Luffy who had now opened his eyes, had jaws dropped seeing who had just jumped out of nowhere. Among all of them present only Ace and Luffy recognized the boy who had arrived.

"Ken!!! You....."

"Ken!!!"

"Ace!!!" Ken said and he slowly walked towards Ace. Ken's eyes had anger. He was really angry. Though he knew that Ace would never back down no matter what, in all honesty Ken hated this behaviour of Ace. This was what caused many suffering.

Luffy, Whitebeard, Jimbei, Tama.... Everyone had to go through heartbreak seeing Ace die in the war. This was selfish. He wasn't alone in this world. He has friends, he has family. He never thought of them when he confronted so many people.

"How are you here? What is this lightning?" Ace could see that the electric sparks were still running over the 'weird' costume of Ken and Ken answered this question of Ace with a punch on his head. The punch was heavy enough to make the skin swell in red.

"What the hell!! Why did you hit me?" Ace had tears in his eyes seeing this sudden violent behavior of Ken. He was already confused of what was happening and now this punch. He had never seen Ken being violent. He was always the calm guy who looked after everybody but this was the first time he had punched someone.

"I hit you because you are just a selfish asshole!!!"

"What did you say? Say that again?"

"A selfish guy who only thinks of himself. There I said it. What can you do?" Ken had anger on his face as he was ready to hit Ace again. Sabo and others were looking at the duo dumbfounded. Where did this kid come from? What is up with electric sparks around his body? There were many questions that they had no answer to. But Porchemy was having none of that. He could already feel that this new kid who had just arrived was not simple and he needed to take him out first before finishing the job with Ace and Sabo.

Wasting no time he swung his sword at the neck of Ken who was now arguing with Ace. Ace and Luffy's eyes widened as they saw this.

"Ken, dodge it!!!"

"Uh....!!"

Before Ken could do anything the sword was already an inch away from and the huge sword struck its aim with full accuracy. But what happened next was not what others imagined. Some of them who had closed their eyes thinking that this new electric kid would die under the blade of Porchemy had almost another heart attack seeing the next scene.

The dadao blade of Porchemy was not even able to penetrate the skin of Ken. Not even blood poured out at the skin where the blade touched. Porchemy had his jaws drop seeing this and so did the others. They didn't expect that such a huge sword would not even be able to penetrate the body of this small kid. This subverted their world view!!!

"What the hell!!"

"Nani the fuck!!!"

Ken slowly turned his head slowly as Porchemy removed the sword from the neck of Ken. he couldn't believe that he could even scratch the skin of this kid and in order to make sure he did it right, he was ready to take another swing.

"Who the hell are you?" Porchemy roared as he held his hand high to generate speed to swing at Ken. Ken didn't reply as the hammer in his left hand was slowly lifted up and before Porchemy could even finish his full swing Ken had already thrown the hammer at the wrist of his enemy.
