My shortest hapter so far, i hope you can forgive my but i didn't wnt to go to into the details of his training as I believe that it would make the chapter boring. I have done what I hope is enough to interest you guys and show how Mihawk is a cruel evil heartless bastard.

Also for the reviews

Ultima-Owner:Damn right water running rocks. and i'm not sure if destroying a gate counts as opening it but it was still the more fun option.

Reishin Amara (i think that was the name sorry if i got it wrong): Glad you enjoyed this so far. May I ask out of curiosity what did you think it would be like?

We didn't make any more stops on our way to Little Garden. It took almost a week to get there and I learnt two very important things in that week. The first thing I learnt is that no matter how much I complain or beg or plead or cry, not that I cried I don't cry, Mihawk will force me to run on the water whenever a Seaking was nearby. The second thing I learnt is that Mihawk can pull food and wine from anywhere, mainly wine though. Yes as you can see my Sensei was teaching me a lot of important life lessons.

Well we eventually landed on Little Garden. "FINALLY!" I screamed running onto the beach happily, "no more fucking Seakings trying to eat me."

Mihawk was more subdued than I was, I think he would miss watching me run from the large creatures. "You do know there are dinosaurs on this island correct?" he asked sounding just a little smug "I'm sure they could be used to help your training in some way," and it looks like he found a new way to torture...er train me.

"So what are you going to teach me? And how are you going to do it?" I eventually asked as I shook the image of dinosaurs trying to eat me out of my head.

Mihawk just smirked evilly at me

…

"Your greatest strength is your speed," Mihawk lectured "so we will be doing our best to increase it in the short time that we have."

I nodded that seemed fair enough but I had one question "why am I tied to your raft?" I asked him knowing that there would be a perfectly reasonable and non insane reason for this.

"I want to make sure that you do the run properly but I don't feel like walking," Mihawk explained as he lay down on the raft. Yup perfectly reasonable "now I want you to run the length of the river until I order you to stop."

I looked at the river for a second. We were at the beginning od it and it was flowing towards the ocean not to mention the fact that from the manga I knew the river went through the whole island, it was a big river. "I hate you," I growled out to my tormentor...er sensei.

Every day until my training finished I would be forced to run that river several times, it would take a minimum of four hours before Mihawk would let me stop and once he made me run all day and night. This was just the beginning of my hellish training.

…

"Next we will train your reflexes, as I have no wish to go easy on you nor to kill you I have devised another way to train this," Mihawk told me.

"Let me guess," I growled as I lay on the ground wondering if death would be better than having to run that river again "you want me to attract a lot of dinosaurs and run from them?"

Mihawk shook his head and I'm sure the bastard was smirking. "No that will train your speed more than your reflexes I have a better idea." Just as he finished that the hourly volcano erupted and the two giants started their seventy three thousand and twelfth duel. "You will climb up the giants and jump from their arms, shoulders or heads while trying not to get killed as they attack each other," he stated, yup the bastard was definitely smirking.

I though about arguing and refusing but he made a compelling argument. The argument was this do it and you may die, don't do it and I will make sure you die. And that children is how I found myself climbing a giant's pants and shirt until I was on it's shoulder then head.

"Eh hey Dory you got a small one on your head," the giant Brogy said in confusion.

Dory frowned in confusion, well I assume he did I couldn't actually see his face after all. "What is a small one doing there?" he asked.

"I don't know," Brogy replied "but we shall find out," as he said that he then held his hand out for me to obviously jump on.

"Er hi," I said nervously once I was on Brogy's hand and both of the giants could see me. "I'm sorry for interrupting by my...sensei has told me that he wants me to try and see if I can avoid getting killed while staying on top of one or the other of you," I told them.

They both frowned in confusion obviously wondering what the fuck I was on about.

"Ah look don't worry about it all you need to know is that if you guys ignore me and go about your duels like you have been then everything will be fine. Don't worry too much about hitting me," I informed them "my goal is to avoid your strikes after all."

They both still looked at me in confusion.

"I'm trying to make myself a strong warrior and it would help if you two just ignored me," I tried.

"Gegyagyagyagyagya," Dory laughed "why didn't you say so sooner little one. So you just want to stay on my head while we duel?"

"Not just your head, I'll move around a bit but just ignore me," I said.

That is how I ended up participating, sort of, in a duel with two giants. I fell off on the first strike but thankfully Mihawk was nearby and caught me, I still hate him though. He made me do this twice a day.

…

"Now that your exercise and conditioning training has been decided we will move on to your technique training," Mihawk told my bruised and battered body. I regretted my decision to ask him for help.

"What is your hellish training now?" I asked warily, not moving from my space on the ground.

"You are not, nor will you ever be, a true swordsman, as such I refuse to waist my time teaching you sword techniques," He informed me. "So we will instead learn whatever you wish to learn, if I think of something I believe will be useful to you then I will teach it to you but as of now what do you wish to learn?"

"Haki, Shakushi and Soru," I answered instantly. For me these were the three main techniques I wanted.

"I will teach you Haki at a later date and from what I have seen you know how to use Soru your body just hasn't reached the stage to use it," Mihawk remarked. "What is Shakushi though?"

"It's a technique Kuro of a thousand plans created. Basically it allows him to move at the same speeds as a Soru does," I told him "however instead of focusing on the amount of steps you do in a second the Shakushi seems to work on a different principal. You have to sway side to side, the faster you sway the faster you move however this makes it impossible to move in a straight line and the faster you go the wider your path is," I informed my sensei. "Well at least that's what I guessed from seeing it done," I muttered

"Have you tried this technique yet?" Mihawk asked.

"No not yet," his blank look told me all I needed to know. "Fine i'll give it a try now."

"And you won't be taught anything else until you have learnt how to us it. You won't need to have mastered it just be capable of using it successfully," he added.

It took me four days to get it to work even a little bit and I ended up running into a tree.

…

"I am not proficient with it but I have heard tales of a fighting style based on close combat gun fighting," Mihawk informed me after a week and a half "I suggest you learn how to do this as your long range shooting is quite terrible."

"And how do you suggest I learn a combat style neither of us knows?" I asked in annoyance.

"Make it up," Mihawk said seriously. "From now on you will spend an hour each day attacking me. I will only defend and you can attack me however you want. I will not be using the time to teach you however as this is your fighting style to create, I will only give you this bit of advice. Learn to effortlessly change between sword and gun while in close range and it will be a useful tool for your style."

I never once came close to hitting him.

…

"I doubt you will learn this before your friends arrive but I will at least teach you how to teach yourself Haki, Mihawk announced.

"FINALLY!" I shouted in excitement raising my arm above my head.

Mihawk just ignored my outburst. "Haki has been categorised into three types, Observation Haki, Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki," he paused as if to cause suspense "this is idiotic."

"What do you mean?" I asked him in confusion.

"Haki is to put it simply your will manifested in different ways. Armament Haki is your will to attack and defend. Observation Haki is your will to predict your opponent and Conqueror's Haki is self explanatory. People believe these are all that Haki is capable of but this is wrong. If you learn how you can use your Haki, your will, to do almost anything."

I stared at Mihawk, completely focused on what he was saying. When it appeared that he finished I asked my question "so how do you learn to use your Haki?"

He smirked "meditation," was his simple answer.

It was a boring lesson. A very, very boring lesson.

…

I was running along the river, Mihawk's raft tied around my waist, one day when I saw a familiar looking ship.

"It appears that our training is done," Mihawk said "I look forward to seeing what interesting events you cause. Good bye Fairys and try not to die," was his last words before he cut the rope around my waist and his raft sailed off down stream.

I watched him go before I made my way into the forest, I had my crew and captain to find after all.
