Chapter 7: The passion of the two young men

(In front of the Hotels)

"It's time you join my crew Carlos!" Ken spoke with so much passion it seem like it was flowing out of him. Carlos looked at Ken with keen eyes and said "Don't forget our agreement if I don't see you strong enough to be my captain then I won't join your crew!" Ken smiled and said "Alright I will prove myself to you then, Get ready Carlos!"

Ken turned his legs into flaming lion legs, than ran after Carlos in his hybrid mode. Carlos backed up and pulled out his Flank gun, he reloaded his gun with normal bullets and shot at Ken, Ken dodged and said "LION COMBAT 1" Ken was right in front of Carlos and tried to punch him with a right, Carlos jumped up and did a spin kicked right on Ken's forehead, Ken flew back. Ken managed to stop himself with the claws on his feet and accomplished a backflip while jumping on a watermelon stand perfectly, Carlos reloaded his gun with weird bullets that have arrows connected to them, he calmly waited for Ken to fall down, and once Ken fell closer to the ground Carlos Screamed "SHARP STINGER" He shot at Ken, bullets penetrated ken on his shoulders and arms, Ken screamed in pain.

Carlos watched Ken and said "My sharp stinger bullets cause double damage, first the arrows penetrate your body cutting up tissues and skin cells an then the bullet itself penetrate straight through you body creating bullet holes." Ken looked at the bullet holes in his arms and shoulder and stood back up.

This time Ken Screamed "FLAMING SLASH x2" he took off after Carlos, Carlos reloaded His Flank gun with normal bullets and said "FLANK SHOT" Carlos shot dead on at Ken, Ken slashed his bullets away and twisted around in the air dodging the others. Ken landed on the ground an threw a large rock at Carlos, Carlos dodged and Ken instantly sprinted towards Carlos and slashed him at the stomach with two long deep claws, Carlos started spiting up tons of blood, he jumped back and reloaded his flank gun with one weird bullet.

Carlos gun was vibrating from the bullet, Carlos prayed for Ken and himself safety from this next shot. Carlos decide to bait Ken in and said "Come on Ken, acting like a coward come after me you weakling." Ken looked angrily at Carlos and his proud is what made him move, Ken sprinted at Carlos, under his breathe Carlos said while bleeding "Sorry Ken...but this next shot with take you out...SPECIAL QUAKE SHOT!"

Ken noticed Carlos was aiming at him, and tried to move out the way, it was to late, Carlos shot the bullet, Carlos whole body flew back like a hurricane was guiding him, he slammed in to a tree head first, his entire body was covered in newly leaked blood.

The bullet pierced Ken extremely fast, it was so strong that ken was lifted off of the ground and into the air, his whole body was vibrating so much and his organs was being teared up, Ken felt like he couldn't breathe anymore, it was like his body was playing ping pong with that bullet and the game never ended, once Ken touched the ground, he was still vibrating the rocks around him started to vibrate and started hitting him, once it stop it seem like Ken couldn't move anymore, blood spilling out his mouth because of his organs. The men passed out.

(30 seconds later)

Carlos stood up with a smirk on his face he thought he was the winner, their was no way Ken could stand up against that move, it was strong enough to kill three elephants at the same time.

Their was smoke all around Ken so Carlos couldn't see him body well, but even Carlos noticed that a few rocks were moving around Ken's legs and arms. Ken was barely able to move, but he did, he stood up not because of strength or power, but because of passion and determination.

He stepped out of the smoke coughing up blood, looked at Carlos and said "This is not over yet Carlos...Here I go i'm going to using 100% of my power...watch me Brook-san this is what I leaned from you!" Carlos watched Ken passion explode, Carlos backed up far away from Ken and hopped on an ice cream shop, he pulled out Tick Tock and reload his sniper rifle with red bullets, he looked at the sky and scanned the perimeter for the distants from there to here.

Once he had his aim right, Carlos said "Ken don't think your the only one with passion, I'll show you the power of the future strongest gunman!" Ken looked at Carlos and smile, Carlos sniper was aimed at the air, he said while holding his stomach "SKY SHOT!" he shot six bullets in the air, they started falling like flaming meteors towards ken.

Carlos used one of Tick Tock special ability and said "HIDDEN ZONE" Carlos slipped into his own zone, he jumped down from the ice cream shop and walked 50 yards behind Ken, Ken didn't noticed Carlos moved from the ice cream shop because of the flaming meteors and cause he was in a different zone the whole time.

Carlos reload his gun with white bullets and screamed at Ken "I'm behind you bonehead, where are you looking!" Ken looked back and show enough it was Carlos, Ken ran after Carlos, Carlos said "SNAP SHOT" and a flash almost blind Ken, Ken jumped up, Carlos shot in the air and said it again "SNAP SHOT" this time Ken was blind. Everytime Carlos said Snap Shot unoticed bullets flew out, ken couldn't move his left arm anymore the tissues inside bursted, Carlos was aiming for that the whole time

. Ken ran after Carlos and said "It's my turn, I'll show you one of my new moves!" Carlos looked suprised, Ken used his brain for once, he focused all of his flames into his body, which increased his speed, power and technique, Carlos was still running away, but Ken was now too fast for even him, Ken screamed "MIGHTY COMBO: LION MADNESS" Ken clothesline Carlos in the chest, his shirt burned off, before Carlos could of fall Ken kicked him in the face and he flew into the air. Ken used his Flaming Lions legs and bounced in the air, He started punching Carlos hard and fast, every punch was laced with flames, Carlos could not defend anymore. Ken last punched was a right straight to the back of the head, it seemed like Carlos was sky diving but he wasn't, Carlos was now not in control of his own body being that he passed out already, Ken hurried and caught Carlos before he hit the ground.

Ken could bearly stand up himself, but managed to save Carlos. Both Ken and Carlos was passed their limits, Ken managed to pull Carlos towards a tree and had him leaning against it, but Ken fell to the ground smoothly with a smile on his face.

(Three days later)

Ken eyes shuttered, he noticed he was lying in a bed, he looked around and immediately noticed he was in a hospital.

He heard Carlos voice on the other side of him, Ken turned his head and faced Carlos, Carlos was bandaged all the way from his neck to his knees, Carlos said "Well you defeated me Ken, when I was falling from the ground you came and caught me and even helped me under a tree so I wouldn't get sun struck, all that while you was hurt more than me, your a real captain, Ken. I will join you on your pirate ship, and we will both accomplish our dreams!"

Ken smiled and said "We sure will, we will become the strongest pirate king and the strongest Gunman/sniper ever! But how did you know I did all that for you if you passed out?

Carlos said "Well I was woken up by music while I was sleeping on the tree, there was a tall man with a robe on, he told me what you did for me, also he told me to give you this letter once you awaken, he was also pretty funny too. He brought both of us to the nearest hospital as well." Ken looked surprised and knew it had to be from Brook, Ken started reading the letter:

'Dear young Ken,

I didn't tell you, but I was watching the whole fight you and your Sniper friend had. It was really good, I see you learning to used your physical strength, Devil fruit ability and your head all together now. It was so fun watching that my eyes flew out, but oh I don't have any eyes just eye-bones get it eye-bones, yohohoho! Just keep learning and getting stronger and one day, your crew and the rest of my crew including Luffy-san will spar with you. Well Well look at the time goodbye young Ken hope to see you again.

From: Brooks the Soul King'

Ps: You have a really strong first mate, so y'all should go wild on the sea soon, also I left you a little present by the dock, I call it Light Years , Yohohoho!"

Ken smiled at the letter, he already knew what the present was, he tried to get up to go see it, but couldn't keep his balance, he fell back on the bed. Carlos looked at Ken and said "The doctor said you will be unable to move for 5 more days, I will be out for 3 more days so lets rest to we get our strength back." Ken smiled and said "Alright Carlos than lets go on a really exciting adventure!"

Thanks for reading ^.^
