Promise.

Late at night , Kei was not able to sleep and thought maybe he ate too much today. So he decided to take a walk around the island, anyways he had explored ⅔ part of Island in this 3 days.

"Kane-chan, I'll be back in a moment ok?, So wait until I come back~!" said Kei, patting head of Shiny Magikarp, who was kept in a big Glass Water tank.

"Magi-karp!" = "Ok, Master!" said Kane, meekly while swimming happily.

"Hmm." Kei, wore his headphones and played Music, while he started to walk towards the un-explored Island part yet.

In the Cocoyashi Village.

"It is I, Captain Ussop!, The Warrior who defeated one of the Fishmen!...Allow me to sing you a song!!" shouted Ussop while maximising his voice using Megaphone.

"Is Luffy going to be alright, he is eating for continuous 3 day?" Sanji asked while puffing his smoke.

"Don't know! Well…thinking of his appetite, I doubt he will get sick or anything, He is a tough nut!" said Zoro.

"Hmm., By the way, What do you think of that guy called Kei??" Sanji asked while reading Zoro's expression. And he was right, Zoro's expression, turn into serious one.

"Him…, He is strong, If you ask me about his Sworsmanship, I will say it clearly.., He is nothing like any Swordsman, I fought until now…, And I also heard from Yosaku , that Kei, started to learn Swordsmanship 2 month's ago under Sensei… only one word is best to describe him, 'MONSTER' "

"If I get a chance, I must fight him!" said Zoro smiling while holding his Wado Ichimonji.

"Haaa~, Well I don't care about stuff like this…OH! There Onee-san!!, Let's sing song together!!!" said Sanji while dispersing the serious mood.

"...This …Love Cook is hopeless…sigh*" said Zoro, while emptying his Alcohol mug, and taking a nap.

Somewhere at a cliff, a grave was made, with wooden crucify on it, made out of wood.

"Splash..Splash…Splash.." (Alcohol being poured on wood crucify.

"It's almost feels like like I'm seeing you again, When I look at your daughters.." spoke Genzo, while looking towards the grave.

"Your daughter's have really grown into fine and beautiful adults…Bellmere..If you were alive by now.. You would definitely be proud of your daughter.."

"From now on, All of us–" Before he could speak more, he heard a soft husky voice. It was as he was singing and heading toward this direction.

Back to Kei.

Kei was singing, the song played on his Mp3 player, while walking at moderate speed.

"Hmm..?" Kei, stopped singing and looked towards certain direction, when he felt someone's presence. Now a days, he felt as though, he could sense presence easily than before.

A middle aged old man, with stitches on his face was looking at him, while standing beside the grave.

"..." Kei

"..." Genzo

"Sorry, to disturb..I will take my leave.." Kei, apologized for disrupting Genzo's flow and turned to another direction.

"Wait there boy…"said Genzo, while gazing at the retreating Kei, who stopped in his steps.

"Do, you want something from me Gen-san?" asked Kei in confusion, as he remembered it must have been Luffy to confront Genzo.

But he also coincidentally came across Gen-san. So he was a little confused.

"Boy… do you know whose grave i am standing is?..." Gen-san, looked at Kei, waiting to see his reaction.

"I know, It's Nami and Nojiko's Mother, Bellmere-san's grave." Kei, softly said, while he looked towards her grave .

"Nice to meet you Bellmere-san, Nami-san, has grown into fine and self-dependable lady, I hope you were present here, to see this day…" Kei muttered this words, then watched at Genzo.

As Genzo was about to say, he heard another voice.

"Where's food?, There's none at all, Darn it…, Well let's head ba–" As he was to head back, he saw Genzo and Kei , at a distance from each other.

"Oh!! Kei, what are you doing here?? Ah? A grave? Did someone die here??" asked Luffy while gazing at Genzo.

"Yes, But a long time ago…" replied Genzo.

"Ok, Well, he/she may have my deepest C…hm? What was that word…???" thought luffy where Kei helped him.

"Luffy it's 'Condolence'" said Kei

"Oh, yes, Right that." said Luffy while chewing his Meat.

Genzo looked at Luffy, and said, "Kid, Nami is going to join your crew. So don't make her cry!...and you there…Kei was it?"

"Yes, that's my name." confirmed Kei.

"Promise me, you won't make 'OUR' Nami hurt or cry." said Genzo sternly, while meaningfully saying 'our' which were indicating at 'Genzo and Bellmere'.

Kei seriously looked at Genzo and then at Bellmere's grave. "Yes, I will Promise both of you!" .

"Good, and if you… break the promise…I will find you myself, and Kill you!" said Gen-san, like a doting and overprotective father.

"Yes, So please leave it to me." said Kei, while smiling gently at Genzo and Bellmere-san's grave.

"Good Kid, I leave Nami in your hands then!" said Genzo while laughing happily at Kei.

"Luffy??" When Kei called out for Luffy he didn't find him at all.

"..."

Well let's leave him like that, anyway's today is the last day.

"Ok, Gen-san, I won't disturb you anymore.., And goodbye, Bellmere-san." When Kei, said his bye to Bellmere a strange phenomenon happened.

A soft wind was blowned from coast side and caressed Kei's head. He felt as though his head was ruffled by a soft hand. He could see a apparition of a lady, with long fuchsia hair.

And a second later, the apparition vanished into thin air. While genzo was also a little stunned.

But he smiled happily and drank the remaining Alcohol. "Hahahahaa" and then sat beside the grave.
