Ken didn't waste a second more and directly went to Dadan and snatched the wine bottle from her hands. If it was any other person Ken would have beaten the shit out of the person, but Dadan was different. She literally brought him up in this world and he wasn't cruel enough to retaliate in a bad way.

"Oye kid, do you know what you are doing?" Dadan flared up seeing that a kid had snatched her wine bottle but didn't charge at Ken.

"You should look at yourself and then speak." Ken said using perfect Japanese. His baby brain had helped him a lot to learn the language and now he could speak in perfect accent and fluency.

"What? Did I say something wrong? He is the son of Roger. It was because of him that the great era of pirates had started. And for Roger people suffer all around the world." Dadan argued even in that drunk state. She was hardly able to open her eyes and the two bandit subordinates Dogra and Magra were trying to calm her down. Both of them were surprisingly sober.

"Have you travelled the world? Have you travelled to all the seas to know if it was the work of the Pirate King that started the great era of pirates? Don't judge just because you stay in a rather secured Island of Dawn ruled by a kingdom that is under the World Government. This world was much more rotten to the core long before Roger started it. You just didn't notice." Ken replied in a calm but chilling tone.

"Kid, what do you know? You don't even step out of the house and you speak like you have travelled the world."

"I might not have travelled but I sure as hell know that a son or a daughter must not be accused of the sins his father or mother did in the past. The children know no such things and they are innocent. My parents left me here. It is their loss and fault. But that doesn't make me a person who will one day repeat the things that my father did. So shut up your mouth if you don't know what you are speaking. Alcohol and wine doesn't give you the licence to speak ill words against others." Ken said and then proceeded to throw away the win bottle out of the window with a simple swing. The other bandits also became silent and hung their heads in shame.

"Ken, you should come with me. I have made a new friend in Gray Terminal named Sabo. He was brought up in Gray Terminal. He wears a weird hat but he is a nice person. I am sure you will like him."

Ken's eyes shined when Ace spoke of Sabo. It meant the tale of three brothers had already started and he needed to wait a little more time.

"It's fine Ace. Maybe I will join you someday but as you can see that the house needs a person to look after and these bandits aren't fit for that. I don't want to live in a dirty environment."

"Fine. But you should come with me someday or else you will be weak and people will take advantage of you."

Ken gave a smirk to that and nodded his head. All the time he had been here, Ken had been hiding himself. All these years he never showed his prowess. When Garp came to visit after Ken got his Thor powers he could tell tat something was wrong with Ken but didn't point it out to him. He just looked at Ken deeply for a few seconds before turning back to the funny and laughing Garp as always.

Ken actually got scared when Garp gave him the look at that time.

"Grandpa really has a high level of Haki. Just by looking at me he could tell that something was wrong."
