269. Whose side are you on?

The Pacifistas came walking in, and there were a number of them. They surrounded everyone, as many people here were criminals who needed to be put in jail. Four of the Pacifistas shot lasers out of their mouths at Luffy and Zoro. Luffy easily dodged them, but in the process, his disguise fell off.

"What the hell are you doing? I just came here to watch," Luffy shouted as he moved into a different position.

"Straw Hat... I have been waiting for you. You don't need to go anywhere; just obediently follow us to Impel Down," Sentomaru shouted, finally recognizing the same Straw Hat he had seen two years before.

"You... I remember you... You're that Big Fat-maru from the Marineford," Luffy said.

"Big Fat-maru? You have quite the nerve, Straw Hat," Sentomaru growled, his veins popping as Luffy misspoke.

"PX-5... Go after him. All of you, go."

Five of the Pacifistas jumped and flew straight at Luffy to apprehend him. Luffy simply took out his staff and spun it with incredible speed, striking at the androids in strange angles. They instantly broke upon contact with the Pacifistas.

Seeing this, the people around had their eyes wide open. The Pacifistas were now lying on the ground with craters created from just a single hit.

"He... He's more of a monster than we saw two years ago," one man said.

"He's nothing like the imposters."

"Can we join his crew now that he's here?"

Such discussions were rampant and reached the ears of Sentomaru. He sent more Pacifistas, and since Luffy was proving to be a menace, he sent the others after different crew members. Two Pacifistas approached Zoro. He, who had been quite silent, looked at the Pacifistas and smiled. That smile was like that of a devil.

Zoro didn't even bother to draw his swords and just mumbled.

"Shitotsu Sansen" (Triple-Flash Beak Slash)

Zoro drew a small triangle with his hand that glowed brightly in yellow, appearing as if it were made of lightning. The three points of the triangle suddenly shot out and struck the Pacifistas right in their abdomen, nailing them to the ground, and in the next moment, they burst out.

This was Zoro's Kido. In these two years, he had not only worked hard on Haki but also on character progression. Being a Captain, he definitely had to learn about it, and so he did.

Sentomaru was now dumbstruck seeing this. Zoro had never shown such strange abilities before, so what the hell was going on? Meanwhile, other Pacifistas and Marines approached Ken and Robin, and before they could even launch an attack, Ken had vanished from his spot for a second and returned in the next moment in the same position.

But the Pacifistas burst out, and people didn't even get to see what had happened, not even Sentomaru who knew Haki. Ken was too fast in shunpo for his movement to be registered.

"These people... What the hell were they doing in the last two years? They have grown so powerful," Sentomaru shuddered as that thought entered his mind.

The marines who were now close to them had hands come out of their bodies, making them immobile and forcing them to taste the bubbly grass.

Sentomaru was alone in a matter of minutes. Seeing no other way, he himself went straight to get Ken, and as he came close, out of nowhere, a blue skeletal hand came out from the side of Ken and held Sentomaru within seconds.

He tried to dodge, but in the end, Ken's Susano was too fast and captured Sentomaru within seconds.

"You... Punisher Kenny...!" Sentomaru roared with all his strength. He tried to use Haki to get away, but he wasn't successful at all.

"If anyone wants to live, then they should get the hell out of here," Ken shouted, making his voice known to everyone. This made all the spectators tremble in fright, and even though he didn't use Conqueror's Haki, they felt fear and scattered away.

"The Straw Hats are more cruel than we thought."

"We'll die if we don't leave now. Go... Go."

"Fuck... I shouldn't have come here."

All the marines had already been taken down by Robin, and those who were not were taken care of by the Straw Hats. Yes, they weren't the only four in the group here, and the other Straw Hats were also present, taking care of everything.

"Punisher Kenny... Hmph... Do you want to kidnap me like the previous Fleet Admiral? I know nothing to give away, so you can just kill me," Sentomaru said, not seeming very fazed that Ken had caught him.

"Who gave you the courage to come after us?" Ken asked.

"To capture scums like you, the marines don't need courage," Sentomaru replied.

"Are you really a marine? Or are you trying to prove to others that you're a good marine?" Ken asked.

"What does it matter to you?" Sentomaru replied.

"It matters because the World Government will soon try to kill Vegapunk. Whose side will you be on?" Ken said. This made Sentomaru stiffen.

"What?"

"You've been around Vegapunk, and you must have seen quite a lot. So tell me, the protector of Vegapunk, was he ever too close to the marines, or was he being coerced?" Ken asked.

"Hmph! You're just saying things to drive a wedge between him and the marines," Sentomaru said, not believing Ken. In response, Ken let him go and said,

"You go back and ask Vegapunk himself where his allegiance lies. You'll get the answer."

Sentomaru, after being freed, didn't even waste a second and tried to punch Ken, but Ken just opened his palm and hit him right in the abdomen, propelling him away and dragging him along the ground for a few meters before he stopped.

"What a fool," Ken said. By that time, all the other Straw Hats had gathered.

"We should leave... For Fishman Island. We have people waiting for us."
