"Oi Ken... Are you alright?" Ace said with a little fear in his voice. He had heard about the power of Ken but seeing it in reality was a different matter. He just burnt a lion with lightning. He didn't even need fire.

They didn't understand why Ken suddenly became infuriated with a weak lion. Ken didn't reply to them but said to Luffy

"Luffy, tell us again what your dream was?"

"Hahahah.. I already told you. I will not repeat again... Shesheshehe.." He said with his iconic ear to ear smile and laugh. Ken didn't hold for a second and just lifted him up by his collar.

"Say it again!!" Ken demanded. Ace and Sabo didn't understand why Ken was a little agitated with just the notion of dreams. They went to separate Luffy and Ken. But in the end they were not able to.

Ken held Luffy by his collar in the air but Luffy gave his answer in the form of a grin to Ken. After a few seconds of looking each other in the eyes Ken gave up with a sigh.

"Do I have to wait till the end of Kaido to know what his dream was again? Why did fate just pull a wool on me?"

It was only Ken who was a little unhappy as there was no wine, no alcohol, no beer. Thor's character was rubbing off on him in a little wrong way but it was good that he preferred meat like Luffy. While returning from the restaurant, it was Sabo's father who noticed Sabo and had a grim face. Ken had already seen him from the corner of his eye but didn't react.

He hoped that Sabo's father would come after them!!

After having some fun, they continued their practice. After a month of practice, the three other brothers finally decided to go for one of the rulers of the forest. The huge bear!

The bear was slow but it had quite thick fur. If they could take it down it would be tantamount to a seal in the progress and they could go for the other kings of the forest. And so after finding the bear the three made their own strategy while Ken just looked at them from a cliff. He was there to save them if anything went wrong.

"Ace I will use shuriken to hurt its eyes, legs and hands in order to incapacitate him and make him slow. You can use your Eight Trigrams. Luffy you can use your wind style bullets on him to make him hurt. This bastard has a very thick skin so we need to be close when we carry out the plan." Sabo laid the plan of confronting the bear and they ran towards it.

But it was then they saw an old man coming right at the middle of this. The old man looked like a normal old man but Ken was happy to see the old man. He had been waiting to see him and learn from him.

"Oi ossan make way for us! This bear is huge. You will die." Ace screamed in horror seeing that the old man was quite near to the charging bear who had already thought of these runts as his targets.
