PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES

Gin advanced with all the treasure and their pirate group was officially disbanded. But Gin is loyal to Krieg so he takes a small boat and leaves with Krieg. The treasure that the Krieg Pirates had gathered was really big and half of the merry's small room was filled. Nami's eyes had already turned into stomachs when she saw that.

But Ken did something no one expected. He took quite a lot of treasures and gave them to Red Foot Zeff.

"Why did you give me this?"

"Luffy, Sanji... Can you guys go? I need to talk to Zeff-san for a moment."

"What's? I'm interested too. I want to hear it too."

"What do you want to say with this old bag? I'm curious."

"Nothing serious. It's related to some other thing." Ken said when he refused to talk about the secret he needed to talk to Zeff. Luffy didn't mind and just left. Sanji also follows her but she is curious about what their Vice Captain secretly said so she needs to talk to Zeff alone.

"Haha... You're an interesting kid, giving me money. I can make a better ship with this, you know" Zeff said.

"I know and that's the point. Zeff-san I want you to go somewhere else and open a restaurant. This restaurant is not safe for you anymore. I'd like you to fire the cooks you don't trust and just keep them the ones near you that you really trust."

Zeff's face became serious at Ken's words. Ken's words meant that there was an invisible threat hanging over his head.

"Who wants to kill me? I guess I didn't provoke anyone to come after me. Even on the Grand Line I'm careful."

"It's not your fault Zeff-san. It's because of Sanji. The background is a little complicated. And to get it, people might threaten you."

"Promise? You mean the Vinsmoke family?"

Now it's time for Ken to be surprised. She didn't expect Zeff to know the Vinsmoke family. Germa 66 is somewhat famous in the North Blue but in the East Blue they are not around, especially now when they are rumored to be on the decline.

"Do you know Sanji's background?" asked Ken with a slight shock and narrowed eyes.

"I've been doing my own research for years and wish she belonged in that family. A lot of clues made me think he might be from that family."

Ken doesn't want anything bad to happen to Zeff. In the original story though everything turns out to be fine and Sanji can reconcile with his family for a bit of time, but it can never be forgotten that Zeff was targeted by the Big Mom Pirates and Germa 66.

Ken doesn't want any accidents to happen when they get to the New World.

"Are they going to come to this old man to arrest Sanji?" Zeff asked because he had an overview of the famous Vinsmoke family. Over the years he has done his research and the slightest bit he knows about Germa 66 actually sounds like a ghost story to him.

"Yes, he is the son of Vinsmoke Judge."

"Oh!! So you could say he is a Prince.. I thought he was joking when he declared that he was a Prince when he was young. It seems there is a connection."

"So I hope you can take the necessary precautions and leave. On our side, we'll take down Germa 66 when they show up. But until then I hope you can hide. Change your name and crew if you don't trust them."

"Of course Zeff-san. If we can't even take care of this little matter for a while, how can our Captain be the Pirate King."

"Hahaha, I love your confidence, son."

"Thank you for your understanding Zeff-san." Ken thanked Zeff and left. Sanji packed the bags and equipment needed to make food for the crew. And with that Sanji went with Merry Go.

Of course, before he left there was a sight of tears as Sanji knelt down and thanked Zeff for all the help he had given all along. And with those last words, they went to their next destination.

Kokoyashi Village. A village in the Conomi Islands.

Luffy and Usopp jumped for joy at making new friends and wanting a banquet. Of course, Sanji as the cook went to make a nice meal for the crew. As everyone sat down for the banquet, Ken spoke up.

"Nami, Usopp, and Sanji. You've seen how we fight. Do you want to improve your skills?"

"Push?"

"What does that mean?"

"Zoro, you've lived three lives. Explain."

"Why should I explain it? Let me drink it quietly."

"Haha... Don't worry, I'll explain it to them." Luffy was excited because Ken finally decided to share the power of his demonic fruit with others. While biting a large piece of meat, Luffy began to explain Ken's strength.

At that moment, they understood Ken's strength.

"Ken, you are immortal!! Jesus!!"

"No wonder he can fly and Luffy knows ninja techniques. Even Zoro's power came from him. This must be the devil's fruit."

"I've never seen such Devil Fruit illustrations in the books I read." Sanji said because he had read about the devil fruit in the book before.

"Never trust a book. Many things were written by the World Government and could never be trusted."

"Alright, so you want the three of us to live a new life?"

"In the fight against the three of you must need help" Ken said.
