"on the boat"
They were just steadily and boringly riding the waves to reach their next island which was still far, I mean reaaaaaaallly far and they haven't even reached half of their destination.
Luffy was just staring at the horizon in front of him thinking while sitting on a medium-sized box which was light brown. Zoro was looking at him from the back of the small boat wondering what he was thinking about while Nami was minding her own business reading the map they got from the previous fight.
Nami stopped reading for awhile and looked at Zoro's puzzled face."umm..., Zoro what got you hung up about?" asked Nami.
Zoro snapped a bit and put a hand over Nami's mouth."ssshhh. Just talk quietly, ok?" he whispered receiving a nod from Nami."I'm just wondering what got Luffy like that, this is the first time I've seen him like this and that box, ever since i joined him i always wonder his sitting on it and doesn't leave it, well, except when he went ahead to the island." Zoro whispered. Nami then turned to look at Luffy and saw the same thing.
"Have you ever tried asking him?" asked Nami.
"Not yet." Zoro said bluntly.
Zoro and Nami were just whispering at the back, what they didn't know was that Luffy could hear every single word that they had said from the beginning and decided to speak up.
"If you guys really want to know what's inside, why don't you just ask me, i won't do anything but tell."
The two crew mates at the back was startled at the sudden voice of Luffy but regain themselves after.
"uhhhh... okay... W-what's in side the box, Luffy?" asked Nami.
"A compass." Luffy answered seriously.
"Compass? Compass to where?" asked Zoro.
"There's two compass, actually, one for the grand line and the other for the half part of the
grand line 'New World '.These compass is called a Log Pose." explained Luffy.
"Log Pose?" asked Nami.
"New World?" asked Zoro.
"A Log Pose is a compass that will cope with the environment of the grand line and it senses the magnetic fields of islands to track them because the grand line's nature defies common sense that's why they make this things. Luffy explained to Nami and receiving a nod. "and the New World is far more dangerous than the first half of the grand line but if I train you hard you would be able to withstand any obstacles." Luffy explained and gave them his wide grin and making Zoro smirk at his captain's explanations plus being trained by a powerful man.
"Zoro, before I train you, I must put something in you." said Luffy walking closer to Zoro.
"What is it?" Zoro asked.
"Stay still." Luffy pointed a finger to Zoro's Chest and did something that shocked the two members. Luffy concentrated the air onto the tip of his fingers and created what seemed like a small dark marble. He then pushed the dark swirly thing into Zoro's center chest.
Zoro suddenly felt like he was being drawn in to the earth, he felt his body getting heavier after what Luffy did to him. He was crouching on the boat struggling to get on his feet but after a few minutes he finally managed himself.
"What did you put in me?!" demanded Zoro.
"Oh!, that was Dark Ball, I compressed a small particle of the air and turned it in to a small heavy sucking force which will make you connect a little stronger to the earth. It's like wearing weights but
without the weights. It's also part of your training Zoro, you have to get used to it or you won't be able to endure my harsh training." said Luffy. Zoro acknowledged Luffy's statement.
"As expected of my captain!" Zoro exclaimed. He was now pumped up to what will Luffy bring him.
"Nami, hold on tight we're speeding this ride a Little, shishishishi!" Luffy then made his way to the back while Nami was already holding tightly on the side and Zoro... Well, his down for know due to the waves knocking him down from his balance going back to crouching.
He pointed his palm at the back of the boat and released a small pressure that moved the ship faster but that small pressure was not a 'small pressure' in Nami and Zoro's point of view. That 'small pressure' literally broke the sound area and tore the sea apart faster than it can refill it.
'on an unknown island'
On the water their was a light, speeding towards an island. When the light reached the island it immediately stop in an instant like it was hitting a wall, it cracked the air reaching the skies and causing some sand, trees, rocks and animals to be blown away by a great distance.
"Alright, get up you two!" demanded Luffy, who was not affected by the speed of the boat.
Nami and Zoro were feeling a bit nauseous due to a fast speeding boat. They regained themselves after a few hours because it was there first experience having to move at that speed, after, they walked up to their sitting captain who was having a serious expression.
"So,captain? what are we doing here?" asked Zoro.
"To train!" Luffy said and those two words snapped the two into seriousness, they know that they are gonna have a rough training time with their captain and why bother questioning it when it was for away for them to get stronger and get near their captain.
"but before that I'm gonna place something on the island and... don't tell anyone about this or we're gonna get ourselves in big trouble." what Luffy didn't tell them was that he had a secret about his powers.
He was a twin-user(as i like to call them and their will be a few people like him as well). Luffy had the power to control two devil fruit powers but he hardly ever use the second one as he thought it was a bit too strong for other people to handle but what makes gravity any different, right?
"What are you talking about?" asked Nami.
"Just stand back, okay" Luffy said.
He then placed his left hand over his left eye covering it and making it glow. When he showed what he did it was making his crew feel uneasy, it was a golden bright flame covering his left eye and appearing in the eye was what making the crew feel a great sensation of power and fear. There in Luffy's eye was a golden ring and in the center was three dots. The wind that would pass the two would send chills down there spines.
'what is this feeling?!' Nami said in her thoughts.'I'ts so overwhelming, i feel like i'm gonna faint'.
Zoro was no different than Nami. He was sweating bullets, fear trying to grab his very soul.
Luffy saw their situation and reduced the air that was pressing on them.
"Sorry 'bout that." Luffy said. "This is the time time fruit, I can control time. I didn't want to use this 'cause it might scare you guys and It also might drag unnecessary attention."
"B-b-b-but that's i-impossible, there isn't anyone alive to actually have two fruits, or so i heard." Said a shocked Nami.
"Actually, there are a few who has acquired two devil fruits and they are the strongest among the others. We call them the Twin-user." Luffy explained.
"So what your saying is there are more of you or like you?" asked Zoro. He just snapped out of the shock.
"Correct, and that is why I must prepare you two for what you're about to face." Luffy Finished. He then put his hand on the sand and said."Time Space". On the edge of the island appeared a golden dome. It was reaching the center of the island and covered it. Once it was finish the dome disappeared.
"What was that,Luffy?" asked Zoro.
"Look at the sea." Luffy pointed out at the water which has no impossibly stop. Everything froze, time was not outside but only within the island.
Luffy was smiling, satisfied at their weird faces. They had never experienced this phenomenon before it was astounding.
"Hah. You two sure have many expressions." teased Luffy.
"THAT IS BECAUSE YOU KEEP DOING THESE SCARY THINGS!" both yelled in unison.
"Well, enough of that and you better be prepared 'cause we're staying here for two months which means surviving on your own but only to Zoro. Nami, i'm gonna teach you some fighting skills using a staff and your enemy is... I'm still gonna work on that." He then walked to the side of the beach and sat down, putting his hand on his chin, he was now deep in thought and then."maybe rock dolls are better since I am gonna teach you two Haki."
That word got the two confused. 'What is this 'Haki' thing he's talking about?' both thought.
"What's Haki, Luffy?" asked Nami.
"It is a power within all of us. Many know how to control this power and that's why I'm gonna teach it to you. There are 3 types of Haki. Two are the most common that others acquire and that is the Kenbunshoku Haki or 'observation Haki'. It's the increase in your senses, making you be able to sense someone from a great distance even without seeing them. And the second one is the Busoshoku Haki or 'armament Haki'. It allows the user to create a force similar to an invisible armor around themselves." explained Luffy."and when we're done with this, you'll be able to predict others movement before they can do it and be able to protect yourself from some serious injuries. You can also think of some ways you can improve yourself after this so... make this 2 months count cause I'll be leaving you after, but only for awhile so start TRAINING." He finished.
So Zoro went into the woods and started cutting trees randomly trying to collect wood.
Nami stood next to Luffy awaiting her said weapon from Luffy.
Luffy stood up and walked towards a tree. He grabbed the side, pulled a bark, took out a knife and started shaving the bark to form a smooth side to hold on to for Nami.
"Nami, this will serve as a temporary weapon for now until we can find a stronger material." Luffy walked to her and hand her the now-smooth -bark.
"Just start practicing there for a bit while I collect something." Nami just gave him a nod and started swaying the 'staff'.
Luffy collected 3 stones and tried to locate Zoro's position... after awhile he tossed the stones one by one towards where Zoro was.
Zoro was starting to build a fire to cook a rabbit he had found on the way but when he looked up he was met with three stones hitting his forehead, stomach and cheeks.
"I better start practicing other than cooking this, go rabbit run, i'll hunt you later." he let the scared animal go and squatted putting his three swords on his lap and started meditating.
"Okay, now that's done. Nami i'll be your opponent, so start swinging that wood towards me!" he yelled with the smile on his face.
Nami smiled back and ran in front of him and swung randomly while Luffy just dodge or block.
'Ace, it's almost 'his' death anniversary, I hope your ready.' Luffy thought in the midst of Nami's attack.
'on a whale like ship'
'Looks like he's preparing, I better prepare as well.' thought a man with freckles and a hat.
"Oi, Marco I got something important to do so don't call me." he yelled from below deck.
"Ah, I'll just tell otou-san." said a yellow haired man from above.
"thanks."
Luffy seemed to be going somewhere after this 2 month training and it seems its for a friend from long ago. Looking forward to where this 'Ace' and Luffy are going to.
Sorry for taking so long at posting this, I know it's not properly written but I made it. Luffy and Ace will go back to their island and visit their 'friend' . And my OC will probably appear at the Baratie so look forward to it.
