We were currently in the Kame House, on a trip back to the dock. It's a quiet ride. Neither I nor Ms. Saturday is speaking. I currently planning on the name of the ship. Perhaps something edible. Perhaps, I could name it "The Kitchen" or something.

Currently, it's a comfortable silence, however, I decide to make a call. You see, Den Den Mushi, work like rotary phones, and I received the numbers of other Frontier Agents. I dialed the number, into Cardamom and waited.

"Hello?" Coriander spoke, mimicking Ms. Father's Day's voice.

"Hey, it's Pa-Mr.12. I was wondering if you two are at or near Erumalu Dock?"

"Yeah, we're here at the dock. Some Billions are currently unloading a ship."

"I believe that's our ship, but anyways. I was wondering if you two could help with my gunmanship today? I don't know if this is some downtime for you-"

"Yeah, it's our downtime. We can help you today. We'll be waiting at the dock. Don't be too late."

It was a relatively short ride to the dock, only lasting 45 minutes. When we got there, I couldn't believe my eyes.

Standing at the dock was the new ship, and good god, it looked nice as hell. It was a smaller, yet average pirate ship. It was red with gold accents, with a minor black and white checker overlay. The figurehead was that of an angel holding a scale, and the sails were large. It looked like a dream ship to me.

What should I name it? A ship of this magnitude has to have a great name.

"Hey, Ms. Saturday?"

"Yeah?"

"I thought of a great name for the ship."

"Oh, what is it?"

"Her name is… Lengua Del Diablo: The Devil's Tongue."

"Strange name…," She then looked at the ship again, and scanned it, "But it kind of fits?"

"I just chose the name randomly, but it works."

"Anyways, I'm about to get on. You were talking to Ms. Father's Day on the Den Den Mushi, and you agreed upon something, so I'll let you finish that, but don't take too long."

She pulled out her sword, which was actually a large sewing needle, and threw it at the ship. She then jumped and pressed a button on the side of her wire spool. She was being dragged towards her needle at high speeds before she landed on the deck of her ship. She retracted the needle and sheathed it before walking around and exploring the Lengua Del Diablo.

I on the other hm used Soru to dash over to the Gamma Seven and let them know I was here. By hopping on board. Some of the Millions on the deck pulled out a Den Den Mushi, and then Mr. 7 came out.

"Ah, the Kame House must've just dropped you off, but anyways, we can start on your gunplay skills once we set off."

"Alright, we're just about to leave."

With that, I used Soru and jumped off the ship and hopped over to my ship. I began to undo the anchor and set sail. Luckily, I had some basic idea of how to run a ship from all that Navigation studying, and now I get to apply it. Not even a minute later, the Gamma Seven also began to set sail. We sailed our ships extremely close to each other, so I could hop on over.

I hopped over to the Gamma Seven using Geppo again and waiting for me was Mr. 7.

"Ah, Mr. 12. Are you ready?" He asked me as he pulled out his gun.

I pull out my own handgun. "Yes."

For the next four hours, we proceeded to go over gun basics, and how to properly aim. Mr. 7 went over concepts such as hand stabilization, recoil reduction, dominant eye, how to properly clean them, points of aim, and how to quickly and properly replace and unload magazines.

Ding!

Gunmanship Lv. (1/20) → (7/20)

Afterward, I hopped back to the Lengua Del Diablo while the Gamma Seven sailed to different waters, took a half-hour break, and still continued training this time, Back to Kenbunshoku Rock Training.

Initially, she thought it was odd, but she agreed anyway. It took a while, around 2 and a half hours, but results began to show.

In my deaf world of darkness, I saw a weak presence. I could faintly see Ms. Saturday's silhouette, and the tiny subtle amount of intent when she threw a rock. It still wasn't enough to actually dodge the rocks, but I finally did it.

Ding!

New Skill Unlocked!

Kenbunshoku Haki Lv. (1/30)

I finally unlocked Kenbunshoku Haki. It was a miracle, however, it's time to repay the favor.

"Alright. Now it's your turn."

"What the fuck do you mean 'Now it's your turn?'"

"I mean now it's your turn to do the rock training so you can get Haki too."

"What the hell is Haki?"

Whoops, I let that slip.

Oh yeah, I forgot that this is still Paradise of the Grand Line, unless they're from the New World, or have been trained by someone from the New World, no one is going to know what Haki is.

"Okay, listen. Please do not repeat anything I'm about to tell you. People can and will be after me if they know that I know."

She looked a little skeptical, "Okay. I will not tell anyone."

"Haki is… spirit. It's a power that everyone can use. It comes in two major shades. Kenbunshoku Haki allows you to sense the intent, emotions, and presence of a person. At higher stages, it allows you to peak into the future."

"Mhmm, but you said it comes in two shades."

"The other shade is Bosushoku Haki. It allows you to coat your body and objects with an invisible armor made of your willpower. It enhances your strikes and attacks, and it has the little bonus of negating any defensive devil fruit bonuses. Think of it as your attacking their soul with your soul, bypassing any fruit defenses."

She put her finger up to her chin and thought for a bit. Her chin scrunched up for a brief moment, and her eyes shifted around a bit. "That's bullshit."

"What?!"

"That's bullshit. You claim that there's some 'spirit power' that anyone can use. Let me guess, I gotta 'search deep within' too?"

"No, I am not bullshitting you. We live in a world full of fishmen, people who are giants, people with fruits that can give you superpowers, and full of crazy-ass animals, but some 'spirit power' is where you draw the line? I am not messing with you. Haki is a thing, and-"

Interrupting our conversation, Cardamom began ringing.

"PURURURURURURURURUR-"

"Hello, you have reached Pa-Mr. 12."

"This is Mr. 5. You and Ms. Saturday are now currently tasked with fundraising. Since you are new, I'll explain. Fundraising, in short, is simply just going after bounties. Separate 60% of the money, and send it to an Officer Agent, in this case: Me. If you try to short us any money, we will know. So don't play any games."

Mr. 5 hung up, leaving me with Cardamom in my hand. I plopped him back on my shoulder and fed him lettuce.

"We can settle our discussion later."

"Well, we got shit to do. Can you hand me the list of Bounties?"

"Sure." I passed her the stack, and we began to sort them out.

"Too low, too low, too high, too low… hey…"

"What about her?"

"She has a decent bounty and is close enough. Should be simple enough."

Alright. We agreed on a target, which was… the captain of the Fauna Pirates: Mary, The Thorn.

We immediately began to set sail to Qaralzu Island, the last seen location of the Fauna Pirates.
