The people who were shouting around shut their mouths in an instant. Bellamy, while falling, coughed up blood and instantly lost consciousness. It was quite early in the afternoon, so there was silence all around. Only the occasional chirping of birds could be heard under the hot sun.
"Bellamy.. Get up.. This idiot just insulted you. Get up." The flashy-looking guy who had chicks around him and was the Vice Captain of the Bellamy Pirates called out.
"Get up, Bellamy," some random crew member screamed. Ken just looked at Bellamy for one second and then turned around to look at the vice captain. Then someone from the crowd shouted.
"You. You are the new Supernova.. Punisher Kenny."
"Supernova?"
"Punisher Kenny?"
"Isn't he someone with over 100 million bellies?"
Actually, against the original story, Marineford didn't update the bounty of Luffy and his crew with new bounties. There was a reason for that. Firstly, Smoker didn't speak about the way Crocodile was taken down, and secondly, Jabra, returning back to the Enies Lobby, said that he was defeated and stopped because the straw hats had ganged up on him.
No matter what, the crew members in the Straw Hat Pirates had a high bounty to begin with, and Jabra wasn't as strong as Lucci, so the Enies Lobby didn't bother to ask Marineford to give new bounties. And of course, Zoro and others didn't fight in the city against Baroque Works. Ken was actually hunting for them later so that his crew mates could get some practice, but apparently they never showed up.
Though it wouldn't have much mattered as the current straw hats were way more powerful. They vanished probably because Mr. 2 and Mr. 3 convinced them to leave when Crocodile vanished.
So, their bounties were still remained the same and didn't go up, but the fact that they were already worth more than 100 million bellies showed how powerful they were. Ken didn't reply to that shout and spoke to the vice captain.
"Tell Doflamingo to take care of his lackies. I can't clean up his house every time."
With those words he walked away, while Vice Captain, in extreme fear, fell on his butt.
"He is someone who has more than 100 million bellies."
"Isn't he said to be the Vice Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates?"
"Now that you say it, doesn't this kid look like Straw Hat Luffy with his hat? Why does his eyes look so different from the poster?"
"No doubt. That is Pirate Hunter Zoro. He also has a very high bounty. Shit.. We laughed at them. Do you think they will take revenge on us?"
"Baka. Of course they will. If we run now, we might have a chance to survive."
The words echoed, and in a moment's notice, every body cleared out the whole place. Only Luffy, Ken, Zoro, and Nami were left. Even the Vice-Captain of the Bellamy's ship had chosen to run once he came to know that Punisher Kenny and Straw Hat Luffy were present. He had clearly heard the spine's break, and probably Bellamy wouldn't be able to walk again.
The trauma would certainly prove too much for him.
"Was that much force required for him?" Luffy couldn't help but ask. Ken could have pulled his punch, but he didn't. He went on to inflict permanent damage on this guy.
"My dear brother Luffy... Sometimes I do things looking toward the future. He belongs to Doflamingo. Someone will have to face us someday."
"Doflamingo? Isn't he a Shichibukai? Why should we confront another one?" Nami got scared a little and asked. Though they handled Crocodile quite well, Nami very well knew that this one was the weakest. She still held fear against Shichibukai, since she had seen how powerful Mihawk was.
"He belongs to Doflamingo? Is he a bad guy?" Luffy gave his idiotic smile and asked.
"Someone who will make you feel Crocodile was an angel." Ken said. Zoro and others were taken aback by his answers. Someone who made Crocodile look good—what kind of evil monster was he?
Ken didn't say more and walked towards their ship. Robin and others had already returned from their trip around, and it was time to go and meet Mont Blanc Cricket. That old man had suffered a lot. It was time for some redemption.
Soon they arrived at the ship, and Ken asked to go to a certain place on the island. As expected, the fake castle made them laugh. Cricket was under the ocean looking for gold. When he came out of the ocean and saw dozens of people around, he attacked, only to lose consciousness the next moment due to excessive diving deep in the ocean and making his blood fill with nitrogen gas.
Soon, the two monkey brothers of the Saruyama Alliance arrived, and Luffy revealed that he wanted to go to Skypea. They talked of many things, including Cricket's ancestors.
"He was a great liar." Cricket himself admitted
"Oh! Why do you say that? Didn't you get the gold from under the sea?" Ken asked.
"Yes, but we haven't found the city yet."
"Maybe you are looking in the wrong place," Ken said.
"No, I have checked the island. It was this particular island that Norland spoke of. If there was a golden city, it must be either under the sea or it was never there." Cricket said.
"Cricket-san, how about the sky? Did you look at the sky?" Ken asked.
"Huh!"
"What?"
"Nani?"
"Didn't you guys just talk about Knock Up stream? What if that massive Knock Up stream blasted the island of Jaya and sent it to the Sky Island? Wouldn't that mean you have been searching in the wrong place the entire time?"
Those words rang among the three leaders of the Saruyama Alliance. None of them had ever thought of it because the notion of the presence of Skypia was a myth to begin with, and they decided to help the Straw Hats just out of their love for romance.
