two days have passed now since ken or kaito kid looted the auction house in stone island . the news spread instantly and just as ken had expected the Marines only left a few officers behind and focused their search are mainly near stone island . ken returned to dawn island instantly through a void portal after spending one more day on stone island just in case that nobody suspects him to be kaito kid.
- this thief is genius, what do you think ken ?
- hmm.. makino san I think that this kaito kid must have some unique devil fruit ability that helps him escape easily . otherwise the bounty wont be this high !
- maybe you are right after all marines cannot catch him at all . so ken , did all that training make you stronger ? you train all day in the forest since the day you arrived here ..
- hehe.. I cant beat those monster pirates from grand line yet but the ones on this sea are a piece of cake . so you can rest assured as long as I'm here no pirate or bandit can harm this village ..
- look ken , your picture is on this newspaper.. you really defeated the blue crook pirates alone.. my gosh ..
- hmphf.. those bad guys actually attacked the cruise ship I was on so I just taught them the last lesson of their lives ..
just when ken was saying this luffy appeared inside the bar .
- hey , are you strong ? shishishi.. then join my future pirate crew !
- hmm.. I can join your crew but you have to convince me with your strenght luffy . I have high expectations from you because I heard that your grandpa is the marine hero monkey d garp * smile * ..
- you know about my grandpa ? great . but he doesn't tell me anything and just beats me up everytime..
- haha... of course you silly man . you always shout loudly that you are going to become the king of pirates . which marine would like his grandson to become a pirate? .
- oh .. you are right ! shishishi.. but I'm still going to become the king of pirates . let's fight eh... what was your name again ?
- sigh .. at least remember my name . ahem ! I'm ken , a bounty hunter . sure let me teach you a lesson about strenght of monsters from grand line ..
then ken and luffy left the bar and appeared on the wide road outside . makino didnt stop them as she knew ken wont hurt luffy and she was hoping that ken overwhelms luffy so that he knows the difference in strenght. quickly crowd gathered around them because now it was rare to see luffy fight someone strong .
luffy and ken stood ten meters apart from each other and silently observed their opponent . ken saw that luffy had a wide open stance but strangely he felt that luffy would dodge if ken fired bullets at normal speed . ken couldn't use soru yet but with his enhanced body strenght and infinite stamina it was easy to increase speed in an instant to cover this small distance of 10 meters .
- take this gum gum no pistol ..
ken saw the punch extending at coming at him at insane speed but this speed was like slow motion to ken as he had fought ninja in the naruto world . his experience came with him in this world too so ken easily dodged the punch and kicked the ground seven times in a second . magically his dash speed exploded and in the next moment ken was already in front of luffy . ken didnt want to kill luffy so he just threw an uppercut which grazed Luffy's chin . luffy didnt know what happened and fell down involuntarily..
- hehe.. looks like I win luffy. so do you see the difference in strenght now ? I'm actually a sniper but see I can fight this much already .
- shishishishishi.. I lost ! but I will win next time..
