74. Monkey D. Kenny
After sidelining all the marines he started running. Smoker got angry seeing this and took his iconic bike. The bike that used the power of his logia to drive. It was a bike made exclusively for him. He could use the smoke as the energy source that could rotate the wheels.
After getting on the bike Smoker sped off. He needed to catch this heinous pirate and he drove fast after the pirate. anwhile Luffy being a ninja had both of his hands behind his back and ran while bending his back a little forward. It looked like a weird way of running but living as a ninja for such a long ti, he had incorporated that style in his day to day lives.
"Straw Hat.. Stop running.. You can't hide."
"Eh... Sugoi.. A bike... I want to ride one... I will have to ask Usopp to make one for ... " Luffy had sparkles in his eyes seeing Smoker in his bike but he also knew that at this point there was no ti to admire the bike. He needed to get to his friends and his ship.
Luffy knew that running on streets wasn't possible any more as the bike was pretty fast so he just jumped over the roof of a nearby shop and started jumping and running over the top of the buildings.
"Nani.."
Smoker was a little surprised how easily Luffy got on the top but this didn't change anything as he flew to the top and chased Luffy. Since Smoker elentalized the lower portion of his body with smoke and used it as a propeller, he was just as fast as Luffy.
No he was faster.
Luffy, seeing that he couldn't run faster than this guy, used the Body Flicker jutsu and moved to another house down the street. Smoker who was following him was taken aback. Luffy just vanished with no warning. The more he was running after Luffy, the more he was surprised. But that was only montary as from the corner of his eye he saw Luffy on the other side and he chased after Luffy.
"You have surprised , Straw Hat. But your journey ends here." Smoker as he elentalized his hand and extended it. On the hand he was holding the Nanashaku Jitte, a weird cylindrical weapon which had Seastone on its tip to take down pirates with Devil Fruits.
The weapon was very close to hitting Luffy when he turned back and took out his kunai to stop the attack.
"A kunai? That's a very odd weapon for a pirate." Smoker said as he saw the weapon that had stopped his attack.
"Why the hell are you after ? I was just enjoying my day here before going to the Grand Line."
"You are a pirate and I am a marine. So of course I will stop you." Smoker said as Luffy took a few steps back. There was nothing he could do now but fight. He needed to take down Smoker until he was able to be far away from him.
"So I will have to fight. Sheesh.. Nami is going to kill ." Luffy said.
"Gomu Gomu No : Pistol"
Luffy stretched his arm and made a shot at Smoker. Of course, Smoker saw the attack from very far and had elentalized. The attack went right through his body. Smoker had a stoic face after the attack. He wasn't happy because he knew that this punch on a normal person might prove fatal.
"Nani." Luffy was surprised that his attack proved useless. Ken had never told him extensively about logia fruits since Ken felt battling was the only way for Luffy to gain knowledge and experience.
"I ate Moku Moku no Mi (Smoke Smoke fruit). Your attacks are useless." Smoker shouted and he again used his weapon to attack Luffy. Luffy who saw that his attacks were useless again used kunai to stop the attack of Smoker.
He could feel the disgusting breath of sea from the weapon. He had been practicing on sea for such a long ti and by now he could already differentiate that there was sothing wrong with the weapon.
Luffy didn't understand what kind of fruit that this Smoker guy ate so he could only turn his head to the old and trusty ninjutsus and so he started doing hand signs.
"What are you doing?" Smoker was confused about what Luffy was doing, however he also lost his patience and he again attacked Luffy with his weapon. It was at this point that lightning struck between the two of them that threw both Luffy and Smoker to the side.
The lightning was sudden and ca out of nowhere. Both Smoker and Luffy were in mid attack when the lightning struck. And that was not the end. After the lightning dissipated and the dust settled, the person who had caused that lightning appeared.
Monkey D. Kenny.
"Ken, why are you here?" Luffy had a smile on his face seeing his brother.
"It's because you have been an idiot and couldn't take care of this guy." Ken said as he pointed his axe at Smoker.
"He is a tricky guy. Turns himself into smoke. I was going to use ninjutsu."
"Ninjutsu might not be too helpful against this guy. We can only stop him with ninjutsu but might fail to hurt him."
Smoker wasn't hurt by the lightning as he had already turned into smoke. And when he laid his eyes on Ken, he recognized him instantly.
The Punisher.
"Punisher Kenny.." Smoker as he clenched his weapon. He could already guess that the lightning was brought down by this guy and from the body build he could say that Ken was powerful.
"Ahh.. Smoker.. First ti eting you." Ken said as he turned his head and looked at Smoker. Anybody seeing the smile of Ken would think he was talking with an old friend.
"You know ?"
"A person who possesses logia shouldn't be here in Logue Town. What are you doing here?" Ken asked another question instead. Though he could vaguely guess why Smoker was here but he still wanted to know.
