The next day no one talks about the things that happened the night before and the less time Ace was at home, everyone treated him a little differently. There were no bad eyes among the bandits when they saw or interacted with him. Starting today, Ace is officially accepted by everyone and not just Dadan, Dogra, and Magra.

Ken was happy to see this and move on with his life. He had grown impatient for quite some time now. He did not have his cell phone, or any form of music to soothe his ears and there were no daily necessities he was used to in his previous life. All he could do was sneak away with his hammer and have some fun.

Ken even tried to fly with his hammer and was so happy that he could feel the air flowing near his face as he flew high up in the air. Flying comes naturally to him. He had even tried his strength with the legendary tiger on the island. With just a single swing of the hammer, he dropped the tiger several meters back. He's very happy. Although he knew that 100% of his Thor strength would not be enough to rule this world, dealing with things in the East Blue would be like taking a walk in the park.

It was the Grand Line that he had to pay attention to. That's where Ken hopes to get the character that makes him strong. And of course learn Haki before the New World. His advanced physique still did not allow him to use Haki in any form.

At first Ken thought that he could at least study Observation or Kenbunshoku Haki like Koby did during the war. But he wasn't lucky enough.

"I need to find Naguri and ask her to teach me. At least early form is enough and working this overtime." This is the plan for now.

The days passed as usual and finally the long-awaited day arrived. GARP has returned and this time he brought a little boy with him. Garp held the child's collar and this little boy was hung in Grandpa's hand like someone made of rubber.

It looked strange but only Ken who had just left the house had a smile on his face. Dadan and the others also came out hearing all the commotion. Dadan as usual had started complaining about the problems Ace had brought in his life, but Luffy who had just escaped from Garp's grip had already started running around. Seeing the boy made Dadan even more upset and screamed

"Who's this shitty kid?"

"It's Luffy. Take care of him too. Oye Luffy, hello."

Luffy raised his hand and said, "Yo!!" Ken, who was quietly standing near Dadan and seeing the iconic scene, put a smile on his face. From the looks of Luffy has eaten Gomu Gomu no mi or legend calls it Hito Hito no mi Model: Nika. This means her story is on the right track and she just needs to wait a little more before the adventure begins.

"Welcome home, Joyboy!!!" Ken muttered softly.

After that Luffy was spat upon by Ace and thus the famous 'chasing Ace' began. Ken was beaming with joy at seeing this. He was right not to interfere in this. GARP stayed with them for a few days before leaving while Luffy noticed Ken.

"Yo, I'm Luffy. It's nice to meet you. Let's be friends."

"I'm Ken. It's nice to meet you too and believe we can be friends" Ken said. He knows that Luffy is attracted to him but Luffy's hatred towards the bandits does not allow him to be with Ken for a long time. Luffy recently had a great interaction with the bandits and saw Ken with the bandits not be a match for him. Luffy does not hate Ken but sees that Ken is almost his age he approaches him.

Here he had no friends and only Ken could be his friend since Ace had just left early in the morning. GARP, seeing all this just smiled and did not stop the petty evil of these three grandchildren.

After GARP left, Luffy tried to interact with Ace but he just kept quiet and left early in the morning. And Luffy also followed him like an idiot. Ken took a breath. It was time to set foot into the world and control destiny in his own hands.

After Luffy went after Ace on the first day, he said to Dadan in a whispering tone.

"I'll come out like Ace and Luffy. It's time I also went out and saw the world with my own eyes."

"Eh!! Wh why? Who will clean the house if you leave. You're the only good boy in the house. Don't make things difficult." Said Dadan with a flat face trying to establish dominance even though he was happy from within. Ken has been a home child for too long and he needs to see the world like Ace has, but it's true he'll be dizzy cleaning and cooking. Ken has been helping her for so long that she forgot to live without Ken.

"You can take care of it yourself." Ken doesn't care about Dadan's thinking.

"Oh!!! Go awayl. Live your life." said Dadan. Ken smiled at hearing that. After seeing Luffy and Ace disappear, Ken took his umbrella and stepped out of the house. He will follow Luffy and Ace but from afar and will make sure that nothing extreme happens to Luffy.
