"If Ken killed them, then they deserved it," Zoro said while polishing his Zanpakuto.

"Yohohoho.. Ken has grown cruel over time," Brook said.

"At times we need to be cruel and decisive, or else many more people will get hurt in the future. This kingdom was sick, and there was nothing they could do. I hope father is alright as he conveyed that he is on the way to Marijoa," Vivi said.

"Don't worry. Sabo and the Revolutionary Army are already inside Marijoa, and the Reverie meeting would be safe for your father," Nami gave Vivi hope, but she was still very anxious. Ken, during the previous two years in training, spoke to her and told her about her lineage.

Her being from the D family and how the ancestor of hers once went to Marijoa and vanished. He spoke of the things that might have gone down and even the possibility that she herself was still alive and was the main controller of the Celestial Dragons. This new information made her shudder.

"Do you think my ancestor is still alive? You really believe that?" Vivi asked when Ken revealed the truth.

"I don't know, Vivi. My visions aren't very thorough, but I do know that the one controlling the World Government is someone who has a covered lily garden, and your ancestor's name is Lily. Normally, it doesn't mean anything, but there is a small chance of it being true. I will not be surprised if her body is being used as some kind of vessel. One day we will have to face this person, and then everything will be clear," Ken said. Vivi was a bit distraught, supposing the fact that the reason Poneglyphs were all over the globe was because of her ancestor, and now she herself could be the villain?

What the hell was wrong with this world? Thankfully, it was just the thoughts of Ken and not the reality. She could only pray that the words of Ken were not the truth.

Ken had appeared right in front of Fujitora and Sengoku, who had been busy eating noodle ramen. Fujitora seemed to have a hearty meal while Sengoku was just berating him for having bad food habits. The moment Ken appeared, both of them froze but didn't attack or react differently.

Both of them were in a noodle shop, so Ken, smelling the good and warm food, ordered the same. They both sat down close to each other.

"The food here is delicious," Fujitora said, almost addressing Ken.

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

"It sure is."

"Sanji makes better food. Ask Sengoku, he knows the taste."

The words of Ken hurt Sengoku, and he almost choked. He had to calm down and not choke on his food.

"I never liked the food," Sengoku declared.

"If I tell that to Sanji, he will turn light speed just to beat you up," Ken replied. This made Sengoku shut his mouth. He didn't want any confrontation at this moment.

"Why are you here? To mock some old men?" Fujitora asked after he gulped down the soup.

"Nah. Just here to tell you to look out for yourself Fujitora. And also to gulp down some noodles." Ken replied as he too started eating.

As he was waiting, there was a very subtle small change in the gravity around but Ken didn't seem to mind and continued to eat. He didn't even flinch. The small change in gravity stopped and everything went back to normal. Ken continued to eat and when he was done he went on to pay the manager.

Before leaving Ken spoke.

"Fujiora.. Tell The Gorosei to remain out of our business. If they even try to meddle in, I will make sure that Marijoa doesn't remain."

"You can't just threaten Marijoa and walk off." Fujitora said and this time with authority. Ken who had taken a few steps stopped and turned around. The surrounding temperatures slowly got heated up and people around started sweating.

Fujitora, who seemed to turned to fighting mode back off a bit. He wanted to fight but he knew doing that would only destroy the island. Fujitora knew that Ken wouldn't hurt the people of the island but fighting against him, in this situation would be quite detrimental.

Ken just scoffed and walked away, he didn't care. Soon he was back in the previous location and saw that Luffy had woken up. Well at least half awoken and had started eating. It was quite the festive mood.

After the small banquet, they were back at the shore and this was where they were stopped by all the people who had fought with Luffy in the arena. With Abrtolomeo they came forward and asked to establish a fleet under the name of Luffy as the future Yonko.

In the morning, after Doflamingo vanished, it was established that he had been defeated. The defeat of the Yonko's pirates was already known to all as the newspapers accepted that Lucy was Luffy. He was now dubbed as the 5th Yonko.

These groups of vagabonds ranging from Giants, to bounty hunters to previous Supernova, each one of them wanted to make a fleet on his name and thus be under his banner. Just like in the original story he shared sake with each of the big names, including Bartolomeo.

"Do whatever you want but don't encroach on the territory of Shanks and if you want any help contact Ace." Ken said as he saw everyone had already shared the sake.

"Yes, Vice Commander." Bartolomeo said.

"Vice Commander?" Ken was confused.

"Yes Ken-senpai. Luffy-senpai is Commander-in-general, while you are the Vice -Commander, with the second highest in command of the grand fleet. While the rest of the crew are the Generals. General Franky, General Zoro, General Sanji.." Bartolomeo went on to explain and showed how proud he was to designate such titles for the Straw hats.

Ken just laughed along with Luffy hearing that and accepted whatever they have cooked up. Ken gave some ideas of what they needed to do and also said what not to do. Bartolomeo and rest listened as if Ken just gave some mind blowing sermons.
