Chapter 6: Who is he? The man with the robe shows himself
(The next day)
"Man...what time is it? Who is it that keep calling me with such a stupid voice? Shut up..shut up...SHUT UP!" Carlos started screaming at Ken who was trying to wake Carlos up, Ken said in a happy voice "But wasn't you the one that wanted to delay our fight for a day? Get up let's fight! Then you can become mmy Sniper and Vice captain."
Carlos looked at his alarm clock, he noticed it was only 5:00 in the morning, and started going wild on Ken again. Carlos said "Why the hell are you up so early! Do you even sleep light bub head? Leave me along right now I'll wake up at 7:30, go explore the island or something."
Ken stuck his tongue out, then quietly said "FIRE SPITTER" and sent one fire ball at Carlos, once the ball touched Carlos he jumped out of his bed, red hot.
Ken laughed loudly and ran outside the hotel room, Carlos ran after him for a while, but gave up after Ken ran outside the hotel completely. Carlos traveled back to his bedroom mad.
(Near the shopping stands)
"Get your new running shoes, you can run forever with these shoes on, 5 different colors and they make you feel like your flying. Only 5,000Beri! That's right folks only 5,000Beri of your booty!" A shoe salesmen said loudly.
Another man, that was a shirt salesmen started to speak "Buy these new shirts, all colors, V-neck, button ups and T-shirts! For the low price of 4,300Beri take it or leave it but I'm sure you going to need it!"
Ken looked around at all the shops and was amazed at the atmosphere. He walked around the clothing shops for a few more minutes then left and ran to his favorite shops on the whole island, the food ones. Ken smelt some food, well in truth he knew what everything was: chicken, burgers, noodles, hot dogs and Tocas, his senses went wild with pleasure. Ken first ran to the burger shop, Ken ordered five burgers and ate them all instantly. He had received some money from Carlos last night after begging so much and Carlos was so tired that he just gave Ken the money so he could leave.
Ken was still hungry but grown tired of burgers so he went to the noodle stand next, it was a long table with five chairs. Ken jumped in the middle chair with a smile on his face, he looked on his left side and noticed somebody with an off white robe on, Ken decide to start talking to that person, Ken said "What's up umm..stranger how are you today?" The person next to him looked at Ken and said "Nothing much my back hurts, It was so bone breaking getting all the way here, than again I don't have any bones yohoho!How are you doing mr. stranger?" Ken looked at the robed man and started laughing outrageously at his joke, Ken finally stop and said "My name is Ken Gold. Morgan, I'm still thinking of a nickname though, you really funny wanna join my crew?"
The robed man looked a Ken kinda suprised and took off the hoodie part of his robe revealing his face. It clearly was a skeleton with a afro, he had pink and gold glasses and smiling the whole time. Ken looked at this skeleton man with a grin, the skelton man started to speak "Sorry but I can't join your crew young Ken, I already told Luffy I would make him the pirate king one day, anyway my name is Brooks, but most people call me Soul King, nice to meet you. I'm really surprised that your not scared of me, most people say 'Look its a Skelton and I say I know I'm nothing but bones' yohoho!"
Ken grinned at Brooks and said "That's too bad Brooks, this Luffy guy must be a amazing guy, I wanna fight him one day! And no that's not me I don't care about looks, it's only about personality wise and coolness."
Brook looked awkward at Ken statement about trying to fight against Luffy and laughed. He finally said "Well you have to be really strong to fight Luffy, I'm sure your just a beginner though so don't rush it boy."
Ken felt like he was being belittle and said "Well I'm super sure I can beat Luffy, just you watch Brook-san!" Brook finally stood up and said thoughtlessly"Alright if you can beat me I'll let you fight Luffy, young Ken. Actually if you can land two punches on me i'll call you the winner."
Brook looked up and seen a pretty woman who was working the noodle stand and sat down again and said "Excuse me miss can I see your panties?" The lady blushed and ran away, Brook started laughing with his weird yohoho giggle.
Brook turned to Ken with a serious face and said "Alright young Ken follow me." Ken felt the tensity in the air after Brook spoke and followed him without saying a thing.
(Somewhere on the island in a jungle)
Brook looked around and finally took off his robe, dressed in formal attire complete with top hat and a cane he wore colorful and high-end clothes, as though to represent a rock star. He has heart-shaped sunglasses, a yellow feather boa, a top hat with a giant crown on the brim and orange red trousers with a floral design.
Brook looked at Ken and said."Sorry to have to bring you in a jungle young Ken, but I'm part of a crew that can't be spotted right now, so are you ready yet? Ken looked at Brook with direct eyes and said "yes I am." brooks took out his sword slowly and said "ok...oh I already cut you." Ken looked at Brook with a I don't know face and said "Umm what are you talking abo..." Ken without noticed collapsed on the ground with a thump. He had a slash on his shoulder and it was bleeding heavily. Ken got up panting hard and said "Hahaha I knew you where really strong, to be able to cut me without noticed is amazing! It's my turn now!" Ken looked at Brook and screamed "FLAMING SLASH" he turned his hand to a flaming claw and slashed at Brook, Brook easily Dodged with his light body and said "THREE-VERSE HUMMING: ARROW-NOTCH SLASH" He walked right past Ken, Ken turned around iffy and watched Brook shielded his sword slowly, as soon as it was totally shield, Ken felt three slashes on his stomach that was slowly bleeding. Brooks looked at Ken body and said "Let's call it a day young Ken I don't wanna hurt you anymore." Ken looked angry at Brook and said "Don't take pity on me! I will be the pirate king!" Ken finally shown his full lion hybrid, he looked just like a lion, he had a full maine around his head, his fur was golden and his eyes were direct. He was walking on all fours and you could feel the wildness and king mentality around him. He also had amazing flames around his whole body that was flaring up. Ken said wildly "LION COMBAT 3" The flames on his body raised up in the air, Ken looked at Brook and ran after him, Brook was surprised at Ken speed and took off, Brooks was still faster then Ken, but Ken screamed and said "FIRE SPITTER" Ken started spitting fire balls at Brook, Brooks jumped in the air and said " DAWN SERENADE - RIGHT HANDED STRIKE" Using the wind from his sword, he sent a blast of air at Ken fire balls blowing them out. Ken still was running after Brook like a wild beast, Brook looked at Ken and shook his head slowly
"That enough young Ken...Your using your Devil fruit ability too much young Ken, theirs no way you can beat Luffy if that's all you have, I can bet your ability is taking you over we speak, so I'll end this fight for now, go to sleep...Lullaby Parry!" Brook took out his violin and used his sword to put Ken to sleep with ease.
Brook looked at Ken sleeping face and said "If he learned how to use his head, his physical strength and his devil fruit together...then maybe in the future you might have a run for your money Luffy, his heart and passion is their. It's time for me to hurry up and pay Laboon another visit and meet Luffy and the gang."
Brooks gently put the boy head on a pile of leaves, put his robe back on and took off without a trace.
(At hotel, 8:05 am)
"Where is he! He tells me he wanna fight but he doesn't shows up! He better not be using up all that money I gave him already!" Carlos spoke angrily.
Ken was walking towards the hotels bearly standing, his clothes was cut all over, he had a slash on his shoulder that was bleeding a little, and three small slashes on his stomach that already stop bleeding. Carlos noticed Ken and said "What the hell happened to you? Are you ok? Who did that to you Ken!?"
Carlos looked worried, Ken smiled and said "He missed killing blows on purpose, but I had a fight with a Skelton named Brook, but he said most people calls him Soul King. I told him I wanted to defeat his captain Luffy since Brook was saying he's really strong and brook told me if I could hit him two times I could fight him...I couldn't even hit him once. I heard some of the things Brook was saying while I was sleeping I using mighty signal, he said that I over use my Devil Fruit abilities too much and I don't use my head or physical strength enough. Brook-san taught me a important lesson, I have to go back to the basics again. One day I will defeat Luffy!"
While Ken was speaking, Carlos eyes were wide open and his mouth touched the ground, he looked a Ken with a unsureness and said "You met Brook the Soul King awhile ago, and you challenged Luffy to a battle and Brook made you a offer and said that if you could hit him two time, which you didn't that he would let you fight Luffy!? Luffy is way above your level, he is a Yonkou one of the 4 strongest pirates in the New World and is said to be the crazies of the bunch!"
Ken looked at Carlos and said "Oh..he's just like my dad, Kendrick Gun. Morgan. I guess Yonkou are the strongest so that mean I will have to defeat them all!"
Carlos eyes almost popped out his head and he said "Your-Your dad is Kendrick Gun. Morgan aka Gunman Morgan, the strongest Gunman in the world right?! He's the man I been aiming for and once I defeat him I will be the world strongest!" Ken grinned at Carlos and said "Ok Carlos one day you should defeat my old man but we need to get stronger to do so, so let's never lose again! Get ready to fight me with all your heart!" Carlos smirked and said "Ok Ken let's go crazy!"
