22. Gray Terminal
And then a scene happened that even the three brothers would rember for the rest of their lives. Lightning ca down from the black clouds and it hit each and every one of the small army that Sabo's father had just brought.
The lightning was enough to fry each and every one of the people who were wearing gas masks. After a few seconds the people around could sll the burnt leather in the air. Sabo and others were horrified by this scene. The father of Sabo almost peed himself seeing this as he fell down on his ass.
His legs were shaking. He thought that this kid was just a little more powerful. He was a noble, even though he didn't care about the marine he had heard about their powers. But what the kid had shown was pure horror.
"So is that incentive high enough? Are you ready to pay?" Ken asked.
"You.. You.. Do you know who you are talking to? I am a noble. If you touch or even hurt , armies will co to take you down. The marines will be dispatched to kill you. Do you even know what you are doing?" The courage he had lost, was gained again for a bit as he rembered his heritage.
"You are right. You are a noble. Though you don't live in that pathetic place of Mariejois but you still are. But you have forgotten about the fact that you have co here on your own accord and you hid this information along with the fact that you are going to burn this place down. What if I just leave you here tied down. You will die in the fire and nothing will happen to us. The actual nobles who are coming won't care about you as you are just another one of the nobles and from the looks of it, your adopted child Stelly won't be able to rule the Goa Kingdom." Ken spoke of his plan openly.
"What? Burn this place? What are you talking about, Ken?"
"What does he an?"
"Is he serious?"
"How... How... How... How do you know this?" Sabo's father was stumbling in his words the more he spoke. This had never happened before. He finally felt fear. Fear of death. All the money, all the status would an nothing if he died here.
"It doesn't matter how I know. You tell how you will pay? Gold or money?"
"Please spare . Please… I will pay…I will co back and pay." This disgusting person finally saw a ray of hope and it seed like this kid only cared about money.
"Good. Also there is the ship of Bluejam. Sell that ship and bring back the money too. Take Bluejam away and I am sure there is a bounty on his head. Bring the bounty too. Rember. Bring the money. Or I will find you and I will show you what despair really looks like. Death is an easy ending for people like you so I will let you live but I will make sure that you will beg for death everyday. I will take away your status, your heir, your ho, your money ... Everything. None of the marines of East Blue would be able to help you. You just saw my power so think twice before you take any action against us."
Sabo's father seeing a ray of hope bent his head to make sure he understood. By the power he had just seen, he knew that whatever Ken said was right. There was really no power match against this guy here. He literally brought lightning from the skies and fried his own personal army like it was nothing.
"Go and don't show your face. Be at the gate of the Gray Terminal tomorrow morning. Bring 100 million bellies and also the ship's treasure and everything But before you go, there needs to be a reminder for trying to hurt my brothers." Ken said as he jumped high up and hit him at the shoulder with a strong force. The father couldn't even react to what just happened and then he was assaulted by huge pain from his right shoulder. He was sure that the collar bone was broken and there might be more damage.
After a cry of pain he shut up and gritted his teeth. This kid was a devil. He hurt him in front of his own son!! It was tantamount to declaring that this kid was not scrupulous about doing things. He left slowly from the way he had co. He looked at the bodies that were laying down.
So of them were twitching in pain while others were just unconscious. Ken hadn't exactly killed them though he could. Ken had his bottomline. This army wasn't exactly at fault as they were just employees.
Plus he was pretty sure if he killed anyone, Ace and others wouldn't be able to look at him the sa way. They were just kids and even Luffy who had set sail in the future never killed anyone. Though it was idealistic, he never regretted taking this decision. Ken didn't exactly agree with Luffy with these ideals at all tis, he had proper respect for him.
Ace and others got to see a side of Ken which they have never seen before. Ruthless, cunning and even he managed to bring himself money. This was a new way of earning money.
"Sabo, I am sorry. I hurt your father." Ken apologized.
"It's okay, he deserved it. Even I wanted to hit this person. But tell about the burning down of the place. What does it an?" Sabo was curious just like others. He never really considered his parents as his family when he escaped. Now more so seeing the army and the pirates he had hired.
He was disappointed to say the least.
"Sure. So nobles will arrive from Mariejois and the Goa Kingdom thinks that Gray Terminal is a blot on their reputation so they will burn it down and kill everyone with it here."
