One Piece System
THE PIRATE KING

Let go Young Miss, you bastard."

"Why are you doing this Kurohadol, if you want the money that the mansion can give you, just leave him."

"..."

Those words were thrown at Kuro as he walked away holding Kaya. Luffy and the others only looked at him as he stepped out of the gate. No one stopped him. Ken looked at Luffy and said

"Captain, what do you want to do?"

"Because he's a bad guy, I'm gonna hit him" said Luffy

"Then he's yours. Zoro will have a pirate group approaching soon. You can try your swordsmanship on them."

"Oh really? What are you gonna do?" said Zoro.

"I'll just eat and sing a song for myself." Ken smiled, he did what he needed to do. Luffy is very strong now and he didn't think Kuro would be a problem. And Zoro's been too OP for East Blue so they better have fun. He would just wait for the end and sleep.

Kuro has disappeared in the nearby forest. Seeing that no one was chasing him, Kuro carried Kaya and ran. Little did he know that Luffy had already followed him like a hungry wolf.

Zoro, bent his right leg and squatted on the ground and put his hand to the side and said while breathing air from his mouth.

"Seventh Form: Spatial Consciousness."

After a few seconds he gained the general position of the people on the island. This form allowed Zoro to determine his enemies and allies. It's like a haki observation but he can only use it on the beast breathing style. But as a force it is very strong because the entire island is covered by its spatial awareness.

After finding out where this new group of pirates he ran, it was Ken who shouted to stop him.

"Zoro, please don't get lost. You have spatial awareness. If you feel you cannot find your enemy, use your seventh form as much as possible. We can't look for you all the time."

"Oye, I can find my enemy. You don't have to care."

Meanwhile, Ussop experiences a crisis in his life. He saw his good friend being taken away and he could do nothing. He was kidnapped when he simply aimed a pachinko ball with his catapult and was terrified. He didn't have the guts to go and help Rich. She's shy. He just lay on the grass not knowing what to do.

"You don't have to worry. Rich will be safe. Luffy's after her."

"How did you know? He's a real pirate. Bounty is very high. Is Luffy strong enough?" Ussop was terrified. He wants to chase after Kuro but doesn't know how.

"Ussop, trust Luffy. He may be stupid at times, but in serious matters he is reliable. The only thing you need to do is to overcome your fear. You are afraid of pain, death, suffering. Every human being will go through it. The only thing you can do is try to live on it." Ken said as he started walking away followed by Nami who followed Ken.

He did not have as much suspense as Ussop or the guards in the mansion. He had seen how powerful Luffy and Zoro were and he was pretty sure Kaya would be saved so he didn't care. Ussop just stared blankly at Ken, then he remembered how Ken hit Kuro with his axe.

Maybe the Captain is as strong as Ken. Seeing a glimmer of hope he ran towards Ken. He had seen how fast Luffy and Zoro were going so he could only put his hopes on Ken. These guards would be powerless in front of real pirates. He would rather trust someone who has connections with his father than some guards.

"Ken, why don't we go and help Luffy. Maybe he needs our help." Ussop was agitated as he said that.

"As I said, trust Luffy. He's better than you think." Ken convinces Usopp when he returns to the restaurant with Nami. He was curious about the weather changes every time Ken used his weapon so he wanted to ask.

----

Luffy has been following Kuro for quite some time now and Kuro has no idea. As he went deep into the forest, Luffy took out a kunai and suddenly threw it towards Kuro right on his shoulder. Luffy needs to make sure that Kaya is okay and that it is only possible if she can separate them.

The kunai hit just behind Kuro's collarbone and he screamed in pain as the kunai lodged in his flesh. This prompted him to release Kaya. Luffy saw Kaya slowly fall to the ground and he ran at high speed and caught her.

After a few jumps, Luffy again stood on the branch of the tree and this time he carried Kaya. During this time Kaya was unconscious so she did not know what was going on.

"You?" Kuro gritted his teeth as he took out a kunai from his back. Blood flowed as he did so. He didn't think anyone would track him. He had been watching backwards to see if the axe man was chasing after him, but now it seemed like the straw hat man who was behind was the one who had arrived.

"I'm Monkey D. Luffy. I am the one who will become the Pirate King. Hehe..."
