CH 2 - Cipher-Pol.
"Hey kid catch this" a marine shouted and threw a rope, I was naked but I did not care as I took the other devil fruit and grabbed the rope tightly, they pulled me up.
"Thank you if I stayed another day here I would have been a dried up corpse" I said as I boarded the ship.
"Well aren't you lucky kid, tell me how did you end up here and where are you from" the marine asked, it is better I don't tell them truth taking a deep breath I spoke "I am Sam I don't know where I am from as I lived in the ships under the ship lady, 5 Days ago a pirates ship attacked the boat I beat them but the pirate pushed me into the sea and when I opened my eyes I was in that island".
The marines did not believe me "You beat the pirates by yourself get real kid" the marine said.
"It is true and I even took this fruit from them" I said showing the devil fruit to the marine in front of me.
"So what is this kids story" a voice was heard as a man appeared "Commander Spandine" the marine bowed to this man, 'if I remember correct this man must be father of spandam, another annoying character I want to kill'. He was wearing a black suit with a peach hued shirt underneath, and a striped coat over it and that baseless smile on his face making me want to kick him in his face. But I just turned my head and looked at him without showing any emotions on my face.
"Commander he is a escape from a pirates attack and he seems to be a orphan, he claims that he defeated the pirates but was somehow pushed into water five days ago causing him to wash over this small island" the marine said while bowing.
"This kid and you actually believed it, HAHAHA!" Spandine started laughing "Hey laskey did you hear this joke this kid defeated a pirate group, kid tell me what did their flag look like" spandine asked.
"I did not see it, they attacked the ship lady ordered me to fight them I did" I said, "Being a tough nut, let me see how you defeated them" spandine said and tried to punch me while the marine closed his eyes as he could not watch such a shameless act.
I transformed into one meter white tiger and beat the living day out of him, "Sorry I won't do it again please stop hitting me" he was practically begging me to stop as I have only started to beat him, "laskey help me" he shouted in between.
"Well that is enough kid" a voice came from behind me and grabbed my neck and threw me away, He was strong so strong that even my transformation could not do anything to him it was like a child fighting an adult.
"Zoro is the strongest ship lady said, you cannot defeat me" I spoke like a sphysco because I wanted to put a good acting and attacked him only to be defeated in a second, I transformed into human on the floor as my stomach made a roar from hunger.
"Well you hungry kid" laskey asked, I nodded my head furiously and picked up the devil fruit.
"Kid give me that fruit, it is not something useful for you" laskey said, "Hey laskey kill that little shit" spandine said as he slowly got up.
"I will give you this fruit if you gave me food and make me strong like you" I said in a serious voice this was my sincere words as I experienced the power difference first handed. I Know that If I am not strong enough I will die without doing the things I like.
"Kid you are funny, but I will take your deal" laskey said, "Hey commander why don't you recruit him for training, he is strong and you will gain few credits for joining him" he spoke to spandine who suddenly changed his expression and spoke "Yes I was only testing him before weather he is qualified are not, since he has a devil fruit he has of course qualified. Kid I am commander spandine even though you are strong because of your devil fruit power I can still defeat you when I am back to full strength." Spandine spouted few nonsense and like this I have become a trainee for Cipher-Pol Agent.
"Well that went done much better than I ever imagined" I thought and handed over the fruit to laskey, "Kid do you know what power it gives after eating it" he asked, "Just like mine, this fruit will make transform them into leopard that what the pirates said" I told him.
"A zoan type, well I don't need it here commander you can use it however you like it" laskey threw the fruit to spandine and left, while a marine gave me some cloths and escorted me to dining hall.
Few days passed,
The ships were moving at a fast pace while our MC was on the deck and enjoying the ocean view, "Hey kid you better be worth the trouble, and also instead laying around why don't you train to improve yourself" a man in suit shouted.
I slowly got up "yes commander spandine but what do I practice" I asked, "You really are quite arrogant for your age" he said while looking around he picked up a gun and tossed it to me "here practice your shooting skills".
"Ok commander" I stood up, the gun was an old model flintlocks type gun as a young scientist I may not know how to properly fire a gun but playing games I learned quite a bit on using a gun.
I used two arms since by small body cannot handle the recoil if operate with on hand and may even cause injuries, the gun was loaded I aimed at the bird which has sat on the top of main mast. I aimed at the bird I have to make sure that the gun stays in correct place till the bullet is shot.
After aiming at the bird I fired the innocent bird which was having a peaceful day was killed just because I wanted it to be my target for practice.
The bird fell down, I felt guilty for killing it but still did not show any expression the recoil made me jerk a little but I was able to hold it.
Then I turned the gun towards spandine "Now where should I aim next" I said, "Wait a minute you brat, that is enough for shooting practice train you body go and do 100 pushups" he said while panicking a little.
I stared at him for few minutes then went to train my body, after watching one piece I was sure of one thing that is I have to train during the young age itself as I will not be able to once I grow up.
I did 100 pushups and went to dining hall to eat. It went like this for three months when we arrived at the calm belt, travelling through calm belt is dangerous as only the marine were capable of this feat for now due to Doctor vegapunk inventions.
There are special routes laid out near red line, the world government spent enormous money to lay these routes and only those who are ranked vice admiral or above are given the map for this routes.
Soon we saw the gigantic red line it was huge that's the only word I could say as we crossed the calm belt the marines were holding their breaths as occasionally a sea king appears which would be killed by the vice admirals.
We finally crossed the calm belt and entered the grand line and passing through majestic Mary Geoise we came to nave head quarters base this was a wonderful 3 months experience.
As I was about to get down spandine stopped me "Brat this is not our stop", "then very do we have to go" I asked. "HEHEHE now it would not be fun if I say it out, so just stay put for some more time" he said and only CP 9 and I went away from the head quarters and after 5 more days we reached a fortified base with huge gates.
"This is huge" I said before I could admire the view I was picked up and all the CP 9 members entered the gate under a grand welcome from solders.
After entering the enies lobby I saw a breath taking view, an island above a huge sea waterfall the waterfall sound could be heard clearly.
Then I was thrown into a room "Peko put him with other kids" laskey voice was heard as the door was closed.
"Well another kid and he looks much younger, kid take of your shirt and join the kids over there. Don't ask any questions and only stop when I say so" a women said, she wore a formal shit and had a cigarette in her mouth with under developed chest.
"Ok madam" I said and joined the kids out of them I recognize five members rob lucci, jabra, blueno, kumadori, and fukuro while there are few others but I did not know them.
"Hello everyone I am Sam pleased to meet you all" I greeted them and joined them in the training.
The first day and I have to do 200 pushups and 10 KM running during morning and in after noon I was given shooting practice and sword fighting practice.
It was hell how do they even except a five year old kid to do this much work, in the night I turned into white tiger and stared at the sky suddenly my body glowed blue and all the burses started to heal and my body felt good.
The next day the same training continued there are 10 kids in training with eldest being jabra while youngest being me.
The other four are Jim, jiro, Vanessa and riko, Vanessa was the second oldest around 13 years she had round face, black hair, with long legs she wore a sleeveless shirt with blue pants, riko was only 8 years old and wore a plain pink t-shirt and blue pant. Jim was 10 years old he had a unusual long face and wore a blue pants and stripped shirt, jiro was also 10 year old with a large body he looked like a adult at 5 feet, he also dresses up in a blue pants and with no shirt.
[Not explaining the other 5 members appearances as you all already know them].
I was wearing a grey half pant with a belt as my standard dress. We were trained everyday day in and day out, the months passed by if we improved our training increased and all the kids had a slogan "train to become stronger than justice".
There was a competition held among us with the price being a devil fruit, the same one I gave to laskey. Jabra and I did not compete since we already have a devil fruit, unsurprisingly rob lucci won it.
I volunteered to fight with lucci since he has yet to adapt to his devil fruit power, while I surprisingly I own making it the first defeat for lucci.
We were given heavy physical training since Rokushiki techniques require high level of physical strength and prohibited its training under the age of 10, and even after one attains the age of 10 if their body is weak they are not allowed to train this techniques, as of now only jabra and Vanessa have began the rokushiki training.
The rest of us have been trained like there is no tomorrow whatever they made us do they did provide plenty of food, so I was happy.
