6 years had gone by just like this. There hadn't been much change except for the fact that Ken's character progression had finally reached 85% and then he was finally able to access the Stormbreaker. Though he could use the Stormbreaker he still wasn't able to use the full power of it.
Full power here being opening the Bifrost!!
That would only open when he could complete 100%.
This was a little headache for Ken but he accepted it as he could use the Stormbreaker for other normal uses. And thus it didn't really matter to him for the moment.
Today was the day Ace would leave for his journey and everyone had arrived at the Foosha Village (Windmill village) to see off Ace. Ace was actually looking forward to Ken joining his crew but he denied giving the excuse that he wasn't old enough.
"You are more than thousands of years old and you think you are a kid?"
Ace complained. He knew that Ken seemed to have already decided to join Luffy which was a little weird for Ace as Ken was super powerful and he had his Devil fruit that could make an army and easily subvert the world.
But it seemed like Ken was happy with Luffy and him being the future captain. Though he was confused he didn't ask. In these years, the three brothers had stolen a lot of money and before Ace left, Ken made sure that Ace had at least a beginner's knowledge of sailing as he was going to provide Ace with a bigger ship than the original.
They spent almost 50 million bellies on the ship of Ace. With this at least reaching Logue Town would be easy. Would be better if he could find a better ship but Windmill village wasn't exactly known for its shipbuilding. Ace had even taken extra 100 million to buy a better ship later.
This time Luffy didn't cry as Ace left, rather he was excited. His time was coming soon and both Ace and Luffy had progressed tremendously. Ace was at 80% and Luffy was at 70%. Ace could match the power of Neji post time skip when they went to save Gaara. Only a little was left for Ace to reach the level of Neji which was during the 4th great ninja war.
Ace was proud of his physical prowess and eye power. He could see longer distance now and could use more jutsus than before. In fact he had made great progress in his Eight Trigrams jutsus too. He couldn't wait to explore the world.
"Ace, see you soon in the seas and next time I will definitely defeat you." Luffy raised his hand and said. Ken on the other hand hugged Ace and said.
"Don't make promises that you can't keep to others. You have a bad habit of doing this."
"I always keep my promises!!" Ace rebutted.
Really bruh!! Really?
Yamato, Luffy, Tama, Whitebeard.... Do I need to continue more? Your refusal to stand down has been a headache for many and suffering for others.
"You don't and I hope you don't get into trouble. Think before you take action. We are not at the top of the food chain here and the Grand Line isn't easy." Ken warned Ace again. He had changed too much of the story so he needed Ace to be extra cautious about the world.
And thus with the last farewell Ace left. Now it was only Luffy and Ken. After Ace left, Ken had finally revealed the fact that he would join Luffy's crew.
"Yohoooo!! Sugoi... Hahahaha... We two brothers will go on adventures and have fun and eat meat." Luffy was jumping in joy as they returned to Dadan's home. He didn't expect his own brother would decide to join him and that too he would be the captain.
"But future captain, I will tell you this. If you lose yourself on the way, I will beat the shit out of you." Ken warned. Luffy tended to be stupid in everything else other than meat and fights. All his IQs would go to fights where he would use his maximum brain and defeat the enemy.
Luffy didn't care about the insult and was just happy and laughing. Ken just shook his head as they went to search for food. He was pretty sure Dadan was a little sad seeing Ace leaving so he needed to fill the belly up of these guys.
He took his Stormbreaker and flew away to get some meat. The meat of the forest didn't satisfy him anymore and he would go to the sea to hunt for sea kings. In the past few years, it had been little torturous for Ken. He made tremendous progress in his Observation Haki but there was still no progress in his Armament.
This was like a moat he could never seem to be able to cross. And for this he went to the seas to hunt for sea kings. Those provided larger meat and even could let him practice both of the Haki. Having a high level of Observation had allowed him to search for sea kings easily and he was able to practice his body power too, which was of no avail.
But in the end it was still food which was more nutritious than the meat from the forest. The surroundings of the Windmill village now was more peaceful and in fact this helped in better trade at the village as the sea kings around were already dead or they hid themselves in fear.
Dadan was terrified when she first saw the huge sea king that Ken had just brought. And from that moment on the bandits had even forgotten to go out and work. They lived on the food that Ken, Ace and Luffy brought.
Finally after 4 more years, it was finally time for Ken and Luffy to leave for their grand adventure. But little did they know that there was a surprise waiting for him.
