157. God shrimp

157. God shrimp

"What are you all talking about?" Vivi was confused by the looks of Luffy, Zoro, Sanji and Ussop.

"Someone is watching. No! listening to us." Zoro said.

"What?"

"Nani?"

Those words brought fear to the others, and they started looking around to see who was eavesdropping on them but found no one. This made them feel more uneasy. Even Cricket and others believed what they were saying and actively searched around nearby.

"You can't find him. He is very far away." Ken said.

"Can you hear him?" Luffy asked. Ken nodded head.

"What is he? He is able to do just like you?" Sanji asked. By this time everyone knew that Ken with his Haki was able to listen very far and was even able to pinpoint the position of everyone he was listening to. His control over lightning gave him that power. But now they found out there was another man able to do that, so they were confused.

"Probably someone who has eaten a Logia Lightning fruit."

"Logia? That too, lightning? Shit, we are doomed." -Nami

"Luffy, save us!" -Chopper. Even Ussop, who had been all highs, felt fear. Crocodiles were not a problem for him, as that guy was only made of sand. But lightning meant that he would be someone like Ken, and that was a nightmare for him.

"I wonder if Marimo will not be a Marimo any more after being struck by lightning, and his hair will turn yellow." Sanji said.

"What? Shitty cook? Do you want me to change your hair color to green?" Zoro shouted back.

"Who likes the color green? It's disgusting."

Zoro and Sanji started quarrelling, while Luffy just laughed at them. They really didn't seem to care if someone was listening to them. Cricket and others were really surprised by the nonchalance of these people but didn't comment.

Soon they reached the shore of the beach that they had seen from far after coming up.

Everyone couldn't wait to get onto the beach and jumped off the ship. Mashira, Shoujo, and others were excited too. Cricket himself had wet eyes. Though they didn't find the golden kingdom, seeing such beauty with his own eyes was enough for him. He was glad that he took the ride with these foolish pirates. But being fools was what made them more daring.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

Nami and Chopper were still a little shaken up by what they had heard and staying close to the powerful crew mates. After getting to the beach, everyone started moving around and soon came across Conis, a woman who lived in Skypiea. She was quite beautiful, and the white wings on her back made her look like an angel.

Even Ken, who didn't seem to be affected by beauty, normally looked at Conis with admiration. And her sky fox, Su, made Ken almost melt out of cuteness. He couldn't help but pet it. Su seemed to like that Ken was petting it.

Chopper, looking at the sky fox, decided to see if he could change himself, and he was able to do so after some tries. Though the color was green, the shape and size were exactly the same. Su was confused and started sniffing at Chopper, then they both started playing with each other. Conis was surprised by this and asked how Chopper could do it.

All of this was, of course, attributed to the devil fruit that Chopper ate, thus lying through his teeth. Conis was really impressed and invited them to her home. It was then that a huge shrimp came out of nowhere from under Merry. The shrimp was twice the size of Merry, and GOD was written on its head.

It took Merry on its head and sped off. But it was in for an unfortunate demise. Before it could go any further, a bunch of arrows were shot in super-fast speed at the ship, and before the shrimp could turn its head and see what the shrill noise was about, the shining arrows struck the body of the shrimp.

Some arrows went through the body of the shrimp, while others struck at its thick exoskeleton. The huge shrimp cried out in pain. Of course it was Ussop. Someone or something wanted to take Merry away, and Ussop was having none of it.

This was his love, and nobody was allowed to touch it. Conis, Cricket, and others had their jaws fall to the ground. All this time, the crew had been having fun with them and acting all foolish, but when the moment came, they turned out to be monsters!

"Ussop, kill this thing. I want to eat it." Luffy shouted while drooling from his mouth.

"Shrimp? They can be cooked with coconut milk and sauteed with vegetables. It will be quite tasty." Sanji said while lighting a cigarette. But not all of them had a good look on their faces, and Ken was one of them.

He had been paying close attention to the things around him. Conis hadn't asked for the God shrimp to come and take away the ship as in the original story, which meant that Enel must have ordered it since Amazon didn't snitch on them.

Enel must have been hearing their conversation and wanted to play with them. For Luffy and Ken, Enel was just someone they could take care of, but for Zoro and others, he wasn't that easy. Sure, they had mastered Armament Haki, but for landing, they needed to get close to him, which was difficult due to his lightning speed and Observation Haki.

It was for others that he cared. This would be a tough fight for his crew. Ken had been trying to get access to the Kamui dimension so that he could travel almost as fast as Enel, but he was unable to do so.

Meanwhile, after launching more arrows, the shrimp had died, and the people around came out to see what the ruckus was about. When they saw the shrimp being pulled to the beach by Luffy and his crew, they ran to their homes, fearing the wrath of God.
