Ken after coming back to the world he checked his system. And there it was, his completion rate.

[

Thor character completion - 45%

]

"45%, that's not bad. System, give me both Mjolnir and Stormbreaker." Ken ordered.

[

Of course, host. But it is advisable not to use the Stormbreaker now as you have only completed 45% of the character. Your body might be able to lift Stormbreaker but in course of time, your mind might lead to insanity as it is a King's weapon and you are not eligible to wield that power yet.

]

"What the hell? That weapon was made for Thor anyways and I am Thor in another sense as I will be progressing towards completion, why can't I use it?" Ken was confused and angry. He was looking forward to using Stormbreaker and Mjolnir as both his personal weapons but he already encountered a roadblock.

[

Host, you are not Thor. You are just possessing the power of Thor and that too which hasn't been completed to the full.

]

Ken could easily discern the sarcasm of the system in those words but he also understood that some things would take time to gain. But it was fine, he had Mjolnir and that was enough. Ken opened his eyes to search for Mjolnir, not realizing that the hammer was already in his hand. It was big for his size but miraculously Ken didn't feel the weight at all. He felt like he was holding a small toy that he could easily play around with.

"Whosoever be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor." Ken thought of those words in his mind. He was ecstatic as he could feel the lightning coursing through his veins. He could already feel his baby hands and feet were more powerful than they were. Ken tried using lightning without the hammer and he could see small sparks flying in the fingertips. 

"System, will I be able to use Haki now that I have the bloodline of Odin?" Ken asked the question as that was one of his main concern.

[

Rest assured host, your base physique still belongs to the One Piece world and the basic things will follow the laws of this world.

]

"Good. Now all I have to do is make some progress in the character and get my Stormbreaker and also keep a low profile until Luffy arrives." 

Ken thought but it was easier said than done. Though he could walk now, he couldn't do much. In order to hide the hammer, Ken used rudimentary magic that he had learnt from Asgard to change the hammer to an umbrella just like Thor did during his meeting with Doctor Strange and kept the hammer on the side of the house. Nobody paid attention to it.

Ken and Ace were living a normal life. The only abnormal thing in the whole house was the detachment Ken showed to the surroundings. He didn't use to go out like Ace, nor used to cause mayhem in the house. In fact Ken was happy to help the bandits in keeping the house clean. 

Meanwhile Ace was not at all indulgent in these kinds of petty things and had his own life. He started going out more. In the beginning he had tried convincing Ken to follow him and have some fun around but Ken always declined. Even Dadan, hinted that Ken should go out and play but he always denied. 

"Why should I go out? I am more powerful than most of the people here and if I really want I can fight you all and still beat the shit out of you. Ace needs to meet Sabo and I need to stay the fuck away until Luffy arrives. And after that, hehehe…..!!" Those were the thoughts of Ken as he lived his own small life. 

But as days went by, Ken started to see the resentment in Ace's eyes. The resentment for his father. Ace could feel that he was treated a little differently by the bandits. Even Dadan had a little different eye when it came to Ace and Ken could also feel it. All the bandits here knew that Ace was the son of Gol D. Roger and thus Ace could understand from the very beginning that he was different. 

Few years went by as Ace and Ken had grown up. Though Ken never used to follow Ace for adventures there was always deep friendship Ace had for Ken. Among everyone it was only Ken who treated him as an equal even after knowing that he was the son of Roger. And for that Ace was very thankful and grateful to Ken though it irritated him that Ken never used to follow him for adventures in the jungle. 

One fine night, there was a huge party in the house with bottles of sake and wine being brought. Apparently, the bandits raided some pirates from the shore and made a splash. Everyone was drunk and having a good time. One thing led to another and Dadan started complaining.

"... He is the son of the devil. You know what will happen once people comes to know that he is the son of Roger...." 

Ken and Ace were both present nearby. Ken was helping the people drink and was serving drinks while also sneaking sips from the wine which he was distributing. It was the only way he could enjoy some wine as Dadan had said that Ace and Ken would never be allowed to drink until they were grown up.

Ace was hiding in another room as he heard what Dadan was saying. Ken too stopped on the tracks when he heard those words of Dadan. Dadan had never spoken of Ace in that way and this was the first. Maybe it was the frustration that Ace brought with his menace and the fact that she was drunk but those words were hurtful. Especially Ken, he knew that those words were not something she meant and it was just the wine speaking but it was still bad.
