Journey to the One Piece

When Luffy asked if he hated Roger, Naguri said that Roger was responsible for the destruction of their pirate group but then he said it was his own decision to disband the group. If at all, Naguri had admiration for Roger and what he had done.

This surprised Ace because he was expecting Naguri to be angry with Roger. But it was nothing like that. Then Ken said

"Ace is the son of Roger!!"

"Nani...."

"Huh!!!" Naguri and Luffy were taken aback by this revelation. This came out of the blue. At first Naguri thought Ken was joking but looking at his serious face it didn't seem like it. Ace got angry for revealing his secret and punched Ken, only to see Ken dodging it like a pro.

"Really!! Sugoi.... You are the son of Roger. This is great!!" Luffy showed an excited but also stupid expression listening to Ken. Naguri after a moment of astonishment returned to his nonchalant look. Nothing in this world had anything to do with him. He only needed to complete his boat and set sail.

After a good talk, the 4 brothers left for Dadan's home with more food that they had caught before. Their dinner was already done so Ken just wanted to give away the rest. Unlike the original story, Ace and Sabo hadn't started living in the tree house yet.

The next day as usual Luffy and others went to practice while Ken went to find Naguri. He needed to learn the basics of all the three kinds of Haki.

"Naguri - Ossan please tell me how to use Armament Haki."

"You know about Armament Haki? Most of the people in East Blue haven't even heard of it." Naguri was again surprised by this lightning kid.

"Most of the people here haven't even seen a flying person." Ken replied sarcastically. It was true. East Blue was the weakest sea as compared to other seas. It was as if all the powers were taken away by Roger, Ace, Garp and other high levels.

"Hahahah.... Correct kid. Alright since you want to learn about Busoshoku (Armament) Haki, I will teach all I know." Naguri accepted. He was a little curious about this flying kid so he accepted.

And thus along with Luffy and others, Ken too had started his training for the first time he came to this world. Naguri taught him the basics of Busoshoku and Ken practised on this. His body was powerful to begin with and it should have been a walk in the park.

Ken thought like all other novels he had read before, he too would be able to master it easily. Oh how dead wrong he was!! Even after a week of training, Ken made no progress on this Haki. This was disappointing.

"Online novels. You make it seem like Busoshoku is like drinking water." Ken roared out loud.

Luffy and others were surprised that Ken too had been practicing. Ken used to punch a solid object and try to make a dent on it. The solid object would crumble easily but the more Ken destroyed the more agitated Ken became. He could feel that this body power would be able to crush anything and thus Busoshoku Haki never played its part.

It never showed up!!

Meanwhile, Sabo's father had contacted Bluejam and talked about capturing Sabo for him before the Gray Terminal was burnt down. Bluejam hesitated a bit hearing this. He had heard a lot of rumours from the Gray Terminal and even seen how Porchemy was beaten down but the lure of money was too much.

After a long thought he accepted the task. Now he needed to ambush the 4 kids and take away Sabo. It should be easy as Sabo was the son of this man. Children would always miss their parents.

Ken was in a little bad mood. Even after 3 weeks of practice there was nothing. So he gave up. He needed to see if it was only Busoshoku or was it the same with Kenbunshoku (Observation).

This was where Ken was surprised. He could already predict the next moves of the opponents by just one week of practice. For this, Ken asked the help of his brothers by tying a cloth over his eyes and asked the others to hit him.

They wouldn't be able to hurt him anyway!

First 5 days were of no result, but on the 6th day he finally started to get the hang of it. Soon in one more week he was able to predict the moves of the opponents.

"So Busoshoku is the problem! Sigh!!" Ken thought.

This was a bad result that Ken didn't accept. Naguri, who had been watching over his practice, suggested maybe Ken was too powerful from the start and his body potential hadn't been able to bloom. Maybe after he could exert more power, he would be able to use Busoshoku. Ken thought about it and it was right.

"Thor was a warrior so he needed to make sure that he was aware of things around but he was never made aware of the fact that he was weak. He was always strong from the start. And this is bringing me down."

From the start he had a very strong body but Busoshoku wasn't only about the strong body. It was much more than that. So from that day onwards Ken had decided to use his body power to the maximum he could in training and also train his Kenbunshoku. He wanted to be like Enel for starters.

Be able to hear people around with the help of his fruit and Kenbunshoku. Then he could try to be like Katatkuri!! This was a long process and this would take time. The other brothers had no idea of what Ken was practicing but they didn't question him and continued with their ninjutsu practice. They wanted to be fast and agile. Able to take down enemies in the blink of an eye.

This was the first ambition and then they would try other things. At times when they used to feel bored they would sneak inside the Kingdom to have a good time. Ace and Sabo continued their practice of stealing money, but this time they would try to go after the rich people.

And here they realized. Ninjas are very good at stealing things!! None of them weren't even able to see who had stolen their goods, forget about running after the culprits.
