Chapter 93: 93. Wapol

The crew mates were very much worried about Nami.

"Will anything happen to Nami-swan. My heart is breaking looking at her like that."

Zoro, who would always make fun of Sanji, was silent. He too wasn't in a good mood with what was happening to Nami. Luffy and Usopp had tears in their eyes looking at Nami who had such a high fever.

"Is fever very painful?" Luffy asked as he was a little confused.

"I don't know. Never had a fever.."

"I don't know. Never had a fever.."

"I don't know. Never had a fever.."

Luffy, Usopp and Sanji slanted their heads as all their life they had never suffered from fever. Even Ken had never suffered from any disease in this new life and only felt it in his previous life.

"What kind of people are you?" Vivi had sharp teeth when she asked that. Even Robin was dumbfounded listening to these people. They were monsters in human skin. Ken just shook his head and headed out to make sure that the ship was following the Log Pose. It should take one or two days to reach the next island so they would have to sail fast. Though without Nami it would be a little slower but there was nothing that they could do.

"Igaram, keep an eye on the Log Pose."

Igaram nodded his head and took the helm. Over the years he had picked up many skills and piloting a ship was one of them. The ship sailed for a full day and Nami's situation had stabilized quite a lot but she still had a fever.

Ken could do nothing but just practice his Haki. He still was far off in making the Armament Haki stable. As he was practicing under the deck he heard some ruckus from above. Without much thought he saw an old face that he had almost forgotten. A face that he didn't like at all.

Wapol, the former monarch of Drum Kingdom.

Wapol had arrived at the ship and was almost on the verge of eating when Ken appeared in front of him and caught him by his neck from behind. His face was too big to hold him from the neck from front and thus he did so from the back.

Wapol cried out in pain as Ken held his neck tightly.

"Wapol-sama!! Let go of Wapol-sama or... or I will kill your crew."

"You bastard. Let go of our esteemed king."

Wapol's most trusted men, Chess and Kuromarimo shouted who had arrived at the ship uninvited. They had pistols in their hands and pointed them at Usopp and Luffy. Zoro, Robin and Sanji who had just come out seeing the ruckus were a little annoyed but they could see that something must have happened to make Ken move.

Even Robin, who had been silent in the group, was ready to fight for the crew. For the first time in a long time, she was having fun with this crew. Though she knew that it was temporary, she enjoyed the solace, tranquility and safety that came with this crew.

"Wapol of the Drum Kingdom. You have quite the nerve to come here." Ken was holding his neck tight and lifted him up from his feet and in fact he had used a little bit of Haki too. Wapol was screaming in pain and wanted to take a bite after turning around but the force which Ken had caught him didn't allow him.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Let go of him, or I will shoot your crew mate." Chess shouted. But little did he know that the person, Usopp who he had held hostage had vanished from his spot with a weird sound and appeared behind Chess and before he knew anything, he was hit on the neck by his hand.

Usopp just used sonido for the first time and just used his physical advantage he had to hit at Chess. This hit alone made him unconscious before his face could hit the floor. Kuromarimo and Wapol had their eyes wide open. And if that wasn't enough Luffy smiled and did a Body-flicker jutsu after snatching the pistol from the hands of a distracted and surprised moss-head.

And now the pistol was pointed at Kuromarimo by a huge smiling Luffy.  Wapol couldn't understand where these people came from and not be afraid of pistols. In addition these pirates could easily overpower them.

"How dare your peasants touch us. Let us go you worthless shit.. Let us go." Wapol was shouting with all his might. It looked kind of funny for his small stature and big mouth.

"Peasants? No, Mr. King, you are the peasant here. Under my arm you can only beg for mercy." Ken said as he applied more force on his neck. Wapol cried out in pain. The pain was more for Wapol because Ken was trying to use Haki when he could.

After few seconds, Wapol started grovelling in pain.

"Please stop whoever you are... Please.. we have gold.. We can give you that. You are pirates right? You love gold. Take whatever you want. Please leave me alone."

By this time, Vivi and Igaram too had come out. Kuromarimo wanted to help his king but seeing how Wapol was being treated he shut up. His Devil fruit wouldn't allow him to dodge bullets and from the looks of it, this was a vicious pirate group.

"Stop?.. Hahaha .. You had quite some fun in killing people from your own kingdom. How does it feel to be on the other side? Oye Vivi, do you remember this guy?"

"Eh! Me? Why should I remember this guy?"

Everyone was a little confused by Ken's words. What kingdom? What killing? What was he talking about?

"Look closely Vivi.. Igaram I am sure you remember this guy from last time."

"He.. he.. He is the notorious king Wapol? How? How is he here?" Igaram recognized him after a few seconds. Both Igaram and Vivi once came across this King in the last meeting of Reverie where Wapol had slapped Vivi.
