"Who wants to talk with you." Shiki smirked and in the next minute he was hit on the head by Luffy himself. He was already annoyed that they had let a person escape and now this guy was giving them attitude.
"You better talk or our captain here will send you to the stars." Ken said as he could see the anger in the Captain's face.
"What if I don't speak?" Shiki asked and wanted to feel out his options.
"I just told you. You will leave your arms here and I will send you to Impel Down. I hate the Marines but that place looks good as your old home." Ken said. Shiki shuddered a bit because Ken spoke those words as if he was casually mentioning it but he could tell that Ken was absolutely serious.
He put his hands up in surrender.
"So now tell us, what the hell were you planning here?" Ken asked.
"I want to destroy East Blue and then Marijoa." Shiki said. Listening to this Ken laughed.
"How does destroying East Blue help you destroy Marijoa?" Ken asked.
"It will destroy one of the better lifelines of the World Government." Shiki refuted after he was getting mocked by Ken and also the faces of the Straw Hats spoke volumes.
"You asked for my plan. I am telling you what I planned to do." Shiki defended himself.
"Are you dumb to think that using those pesky mutated animals would do the job?" Ken asked questioning his intelligence.
"The animals are a distraction. I had planned for a bigger cause to bring down terror." Shiki was quite proud of himself when he said that.
"Really? Tell me what you really planned?" Ken asked and this time he was intrigued, because in the original story there was this only plan of his and nothing more, so what did he cook up now. Shiki fidgeted a bit only to be see a blade placed on his neck with a small hint of blood coming out. He had never felt so disrespected before.
But little did he know that Ken, Nami and Luffy were using illusions to make his suggestive to their questions. Especially Nami and Ken as one used magic and other used genjustu in tandem. Over the 2 years in training, he and Nami had tried doing teamwork, and actually every single one of them had tried team work fighting and improved their sync.
That was what happened here.
"The plan is bring down a huge meteor to Marijoa." Shiki said.
"Meteor? Gravity manipulation. But you don't have a devil fruit to supplement that." Ken asked as he was confused of using meteors, without a proper devil fruit. Shiki shook his head and said.
"We are cutting a portion of the moon and send it hurling down."
"What?"
"Is that even possible?"
"How will he reach there?"
Everyone had the same question until Ken answered for them.
"He will use his devil fruit powers to get to moon and then blow up a portion of it and send it to the place they want it to dive down. Isn't that right?" Ken said.
"Yes." Shiki admitted.
"Blowing up moon? Are you crazy? Do you even know how much it will affect the planet? Do you even know how quickly the planet will die after you do that?' Franky pulled him up by his collar and shouted right at his face.
He was justified in doing so because he knew exactly what would happen if anything drastic happen to moon. The planet would slowly die down if not plunge to eternal damnation forever. Shiki was a bit shaken seeing the ferocity of Franky's eyes.
"What.. Are you talking about?" Shiki asked.
"This idiot doesn't know about science and is ignorant. Leave him." Ken said as he separated both of them and he also was in shock that Shiki could even come up with that kind of plan.
"So why you and him had a contact? Wait, let me think.. He decided to bomb the New World and you decided to bomb East Blue and Marijoa. Is that right?" Ken thought and asked. Shiki just nodded his head
"Both of you are nuts." Nami huffed and puffed. She couldn't believe that these two maniacs would go to such lengths to bring destruction.
"Well at least, this is not going to happen now." Robin said. Everyone sighed in relief but once they saw Shiki's guilty face they knew that there was more to the story. Ken got irritated now and used his full genjutsu powers on him.
"Tell us everything." Ken said as he put him in genjutsu and Nami had pointed her wand at him now.
"The explosives had already been placed in the moon and even if the explosives are not triggered manually there is a timer. In 5 days, a huge part of moon will break and will rain down on the planet. There is nothing that we can do to stop. Zephyr and I had a fallout on determining the location of the fallout." Shiki blabbered everything out like a scared child but listening to him, even gave Ken the chills.
"This motherfu.."
"Let me kill him. I want to kill him." Vivi shouted. Like her everyone here was annoyed and scared. Of course, not everyone understood the gravity of the situation and Franky had to explain on how changing the structure of the moon might throw the planet off its orbit. This appalled everyone, though Luffy was finding it hard to wrap his head around the whole concept but he did understand that there was a problem with a moon and they needed to stop it.
"You didn't meet Enel in the moon." Ken asked as he remembered Enel was supposed to be there and have a mechanical army in that place.
"Enel.. He tried to stop us but we took care of him together." Shiki said. Ken understood why this was the case even though Enel had learnt Haki, it wasn't high enough to face two of the better Haki users.
