"What? What did you say? Say that again.." Buggy was shivering. Ken couldn't tell if it was for anger or sadness.
"You heard me right. Kozuki Oden is dead."
"How is this possible? This is not possible. He was one of the greatest swordsmen in our era. How do you know this?"
"It doesn't matter how I know this. Oden is dead. Kaido and the current shogun of Wano deceived him. He died in boiling oil." Ken said with a hint of sadness in his tone too. He had seen how Oden died and it was truly a great feat of what he had done.
He sacrificed so much but in the end he himself couldn't escape his death. But it didn't matter now. Everything will have changed since Ken had stepped in.
"Kaido.....!!!" Buggy dug his fingers in his palm so tightly that blood had started dripping out from his right hand. He was furious. He knew about Kaido and it was painful that he couldn't go against him.
"Why are you telling me this? To make me suffer more?" Buggy asked.
"No. I just told you this so that you change your operations. Staying in East Blue won't be safe for you anymore. The Navy would soon find you. It is better you get yourself a larger crew and influence others. You are good at management. So it's better you start working and make an empire. An empire so big that even the Navy would hesitate to touch you."
"Haah... You overestimate me too much." Buggy said and for the first time he accepted his shortcomings. He knew that he wasn't good but this guy was actually telling him to do something great.
"I don't underestimate you. You use that brain of yours." Ken said and he didn't bother to talk anymore. He just wanted to see how Buggy would react if he heard about Oden. He remembered that he cried when Roger was executed so he wanted to test if he still had the same feelings for his crew mates. He wasn't disappointed.
Buggy was supposed to play a huge role in the future, and Ken hoped that he could do that. Having a huge army and also having Hawkeye and Crocodile as one of the members of his Cross Guild Organisation would be a huge win for them. Of course he probably wouldn't be the boss. He didn't have the strength to back it up.
But having a large number of men would be a plus.
With that Ken and others went away.
"Who is that Oden?" Zoro was interested the moment Buggy said that he was a great swordsman.
"A great swordsman. From the kingdom of Wano which is in the grandline. A kingdom that is closed off and is typically a land of samurai."
"Samurai huh!! Want to see it soon. By the way, how do you know of the Grand Line?" Both Luffy and Zoro were interested in how Ken knew of the Grand Line. As of now Grand Line was a mystery to them.
"I have my ways to acquire information." Ken smiled and didn't elaborate more. Luffy and Zoro both attributed this to the fact that Ken had a weird Devil Fruit and didn't ask more.
Nami got to see a new world for the first time. She had been with the Arlong crew for such a long time that she didn't think there would be any humans who could take down a bunch of humans with a move or two. And these three seemed like they could do what the fishmen could do.
Nami, after much thought, ran after the three and shouted.
"Hey... Hey... Is it so good to leave a lady unattended? At least have the decency to ask if she is alright or not after being chased by those scums."
"I thought you had left." Zoro said.
"I have no ship. Can I board your ship and take me to the next island?" Nami said a little coquettishly.
"You can go and loot their treasure. We will be here to eat something." Ken said. Luffy and Nami were both excited hearing this. Luffy was for food and Nami for treasure. She had forgotten that there was treasure in Buggy's ship and she could loot it as all the crew members were taken down by Zoro.
After a little walk Ken found the mayor of the town and spoke about the fact that Buggy would soon leave. After being beaten down so badly there was no way Buggy would be here. Ken didn't want any problems in Logue Town so he wanted to take care of it from before.
And he was pretty sure that the fear he had given Alvida would be enough for her not to show her face even if she ate that Devil fruit. Smoker would already be a problem at that point. He didn't want to bet the whole ending on Dragon alone.
The plot was changing fast so he needed to take precautions.
The town mayor was surprised to know that Buggy had been defeated and he would leave soon. They even got to meet the dog which had been guarding his dead owner's shop for such a long time. In the actual story, the shop was destroyed by the tiger.
This time Zoro defeated the tiger and thus the shop was safe. Ken had a weakness for both cats and dogs in his previous life thus he spent quite a lot of time with the dog while Luffy was busy eating.
After an hour or so Nami was back with the treasures that were on the ship of Buggy. She didn't dare to go to the place where Buggy was. Ken had defeated Buggy easily but she wasn't Ken. So she only came back with the treasures she could get her hands on.
After eating the four people left for the next adventure.
