Ken was confused by their words of these beaten men and asked.

"How the hell is my sword related to anything?" Ken asked.

"Because you are the samurai we have been searching for." One of them who could hardly speak said.

"So I am a samurai because I am carrying a sword? Here.. This is my hammer. Am I a blacksmith now?" Ken said as he brought out Mjolnir from his side. This made everyone on the ground speechless as he didn't know how to answer that.

"So tell us what is going on in the island?" Robin asked.

"Fuck you.. You think we will ever betray Master? Dream on." One of them shouted.

"Master? So there is someone controlling everything." Robin said.

"Shit.. Just shut your mouth, you traitor." Someone else shouted.

"Shit these are manipulative bastards." The one who spoke first said. Ken and other just shook their heads hearing them say that.

"Let's go and see this Master. This place is off the radar and nobody was allowed to come in. So what the hell is going on here, I am curious." Jinbe said. These people wanted to stop them but Ken just squinted at them and in the next second, these beaten down people lost their consciousness.

They started walking according to the Haki and suddenly Luffy stopped and so did Jinbe and Ken. Robin was confused and asked.

"What is going on?"

"Someone is here." Luffy said.

"And we know him." Ken replied.

"Really?" Both Jinbe and Luffy were surprised by the words of Ken. They could sense someone coming, but they definitely wouldn't be able sense as minutely as Ken. And soon the man came into the picture. And Ken was right. They did know him.

"Who are you?" Luffy asked. "I feel like I have seen you before."

"Trafalgar Law."

"Who?" Luffy asked. Unlike the actual story, Luffy didn't need to be saved by Trafalgar so he wasn't close with him and since he only met once he had almost forgotten him.

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

"He is one of the Supernova who rose with us. We met him in the human auction house." Ken said. Luffy thought for a moment and then remembered.

"Ah Tra-o. Now I remember. The one with the weird Devil fruit." Luffy said.

"Well he does have a weird fruit." Robin nodded.

"But yours is much weirder." Jinbe said. Everyone was busy talking with each other and kind of forgot about Trafalgar altogether.

"Tch.. Strawhat.. Why are you here?" Law asked and he also noticed the waist attached to Luffy and that irritated him more.

"We heard an emergency and so we came. Didn't know you were here." Luffy casually said while picking his nose.

"Emergency?" Law was confused so Robin explained what had happened. When he got the general idea he looked at the waist of Luffy and said.

"The man who is responsible for cutting them is the man attached to your waist. He is the samurai." This made everyone confused and then Law went on to say how he had to cut the samurai because he was creating a menace around and the waist was the part of the same samurai that Luffy had attached himself.

"So you cut him down. That's good.. So are those men fine now?" Luffu asked.

"Maybe. I don't know." Law replied.

"Why are you here and talking so much?" Robin asked as she realized that Law must be here for a reason and she hadn't forgotten what Ken had said before that this island held researchers and children so she wanted to know how deep the rabbit hole was.

"I will be honest. I didn't expect you guys to be here. I was in the lab when I saw your massive ship coming and since this island is not on the Log Pose island so it is probably fate or something of that sort that brought you here. But since you are here, it makes it easier for me to propose something that I have been thinking of." Law said.

"Oh! What is it?" Luffy asked.

"I want to make an alliance with you." Law asked. Robin, Jinbe and Luffy were taken aback. They didn't expect such words from Law at all.

"Alliance? For what?" Luffy asked.

"To take down an Yonko?" Law asked.

"Yonko? Who?" Luffy asked as he was slowly getting excited with the words of Law.

"Kaido of the Beast Pirates." Law replied.

"Hmm.. Kaido.. Well I say we go for Big Mom too. I am fine as long as its not Shanks." Luffy said. This made Law smirk a bit but didn't say anything and waited for an answer.

"Why should we trust you?" Jinbe asked.

"Jinbe, son of the sea and a former Warlord. You have already joined Straw Hats?" Law asked as he didn't expect that a great Fishman to join them.

"Yes." Jinbe nodded.

"You haven't answered his question." Robin said.

"I guess you can't trust me. Not yet at least, as the alliance between pirates is notoriously known to be bad so I can only ask you to take a leap of faith with me. That's all I can say. In order to prove how serious I am let me prove it to you. The island is specially maintained by the fellow warlord Doflamingo to make Smile fruits. These are artificial evil fruits once researched by Doctor Vegapunk but for some reason he left the research to do other kind of research..." Law went on to explain how the fruits were sold to Kaido and were currently made by Doctor Caesar. If they destroyed the research here and kidnap the Doctor, it would create a huge opportunity for a battle to ensue between Kaido and Doflamingo.

Then they could take Kaido down. Law spoke more about the factory and how this was the research facility and the factory was on other island. Robin and Jinbe listened to him and were surprised to know so much.

Of course, Luffy lost interest to know more and almost snoozed off.
