"You can't beat dozens of people singlehanded, but you can walk on broken legs?" Ken scowls, even as he angrily scoops Chikusa up in his arms like he weighs nothing. He's not particularly concerned with complicating any of his injuries; Chikusa's done a good enough job of that by himself that Ken doubts he could do any further damage personally.
"And you're getting fixed up, byon! Mukuro-sama said so, byon!" Ken retreats to the highest court of authority with them. There's no arguing with something Mukuro said, not with them.
The question is, of course, whether Mukuro said anything specific about this, or if Ken's loosely interpreting a general statement for his own purposes. Even an obedient dog may...creatively interpret commands at times. In this case, Ken may not even be wrong to do so if he's doing more than Mukuro ordered; after all, a crippled Chikusa isn't something any of them want, so he has to get treated, right? And with wounds this severe, it makes sense to go demand healing of Ryohei, or to see what Shamal can do for a male patient under threat of immediate and extreme violence.
That's the one good thing (in the Kokuyo gang's mind) about the Vongola under Tsuna; they're soft enough that it's not particularly difficult to hit them up for things they really need, even if Mukuro's pride and the group's general hatred of the mafia means that they only ask in extreme circumstances. Shamal would definitely need a beating just to get started, but Ryohei might be immediately cooperative. (Or, Ken suspects, he can be cheaply bribed with a boxing match. That's what he wanted the last time he and Ryohei interacted to any degree.)
It's at times like this that Ken wishes he had rings, or boxes, or something like that. Maybe he could heal Chikusa, if he did, instead of having to outsource the job. Healing is as far from Ken's wheelhouse as it's possible to get, but it's not like it's a skill their group couldn't use...
