Currently, I was training. I left Springwind Town and found a flat stretch of grass. I used this area to train. I constantly used Soru to zip across the field in a blur, and I repeated used Geppo to gain altitude. I had to familiarize myself with these skills to ever apply them in combat.
My execution of Soru slowly improved over time. The 10 kicks were becoming easier and easier, and I became faster and faster. I managed to keep the constant rhythm of Geppo going for longer and longer. I also decided to start applying a bit of Kamisori to my Geppos by kicking twice in the air. I get a bit more altitude and go faster through the air.
Afterward, I decided to make two small purchases. A bandana or rather, a durag. It had a dual purpose. One, I wanted one to look fly as hell, and two, I could use it for Kenbunshoku Training, using it as a blindfold. It was pitch black, so I couldn't see through it. The other purchase was a pair of earplugs, to aid in Kenbunshoku Training. However, Haki training would have to wait as it required another person to throw shit at me.

After busting my ass off training my Rokushiki, I went back to my boat, grabbed my camping gear, went back to the woods, and went to sleep.
The next morning, I woke up in the tent. I stretched and ate a muffin from the bakery. They were fucking delicious and that's a fact. I packed up my stuff and used Soru and Geppo to quickly get back to my boat. I then zipped back to the Marine outpost and decided to ask some questions.
I held up a picture of Reggie Vilyck. He was a fat bastard with a large, bushy, black, beard and a receding hairline. I mean, look at the top of his head, there was nothing there. "Do you have any additional information about the Vilyck Pirates?"
The woman, who I now know as Chief Petty Officer Miriam, nodded. "Yes, The Vilyck Pirates were responsible for taking over an island, and also the kidnapping of some women. It seems they constantly hit a triangle of islands before moving back to their territory. I believe they were last seen… leaving here. Their predicted path seems to be heading for the… island of Toroa. It's northeast of here."
"Alright. Thank you a lot."
And with that, I was off. I headed back to my boat and pulled out a compass. Luckily, this was the Four Blues and not the Grand Line, so compasses still worked as they should. I grabbed the paddles and rowed towards the Northeast.
I continued rowing until my arms got tired, and observed for a bit. I didn't see any ships on the horizon, and only saw the silhouette of Springwind Island. After a bit more rowing, I saw something moving in the distance. It was a Jolly Roger.
I continued rowing some more until I realized, it was them. I found my target at last. I continued sailing on the boat, getting closer and closer to them. That the opportunity was upon me, so I took it.
I tied my durag and leaped out of the boat using Geppo. It took a couple of Geppos, but I landed on the boat quietly and nobody noticed. It was time to get to business.
I had my knife in hand and my handgun on standby. I zipped around the boat, knocking anyone out with a Soru-speed punch to the head. I knocked out all the fodder and began looking for the captain.

I went inside the main cabin and inside, there was only one person. I quickly used [Scanalyze], the ability I use to check people's levels.
Terry, Vilyck Pirates First Mate, Lv.10
Terry is the first mate of the Vilyck Pirates, a crew responsible for taking over towns and kidnapping women in the West Blue. Terry is a swordsman who uses quick strikes and prefers to lob off the head of his opponents. He has a bounty of 8 Million Beri.

Alright, he had an average set of stats, I could probably take him on. I quickly used Soru and hit him with a blindside punch. It connected with the side of his face and… well, he just crumpled like a fucking napkin. Soru is faster than eyesight movement, and I hit him with an extremely fast punch to the side of his head.

Carrying on, I moved his unconscious body to the rear end of the ship. I guess I got an extra 8 mil, to this bounty hunt. I went back inside the cabin and went to the door. Inside was the captain's quarters. I drew my gun and prepared myself. I kicked down the door with a Geppo and quickly observed the room. The captain, Reggie, was rummaging through the drawers with his back to the door.
Reggy, Vilyck Pirates Captain, Lv. 14
Before anything could happen, I quickly fired two bullets into his legs and fired another two into his shoulders. He collapsed screaming in pain.

Well, that was that, and I couldn't complain. I knocked him out with a punch to the face. When reflecting upon it, I sure do like punching. I didn't even get to shank anybody. I think some of the people I hit might have brain damage, but eh. That's that. They're alive, and most likely are going to be executed or sent to Impel Down, but that's not my problem.
I loaded Reggie and Terry onto the boat and began sailing back to Springwind Island.
