The next day he started talking again.

Rock "hey Dutch I tried to clean my rifle but don't know if I did it right can you show me."

Dutch"sure Rock I'll go get mine"

Rock "I'll get mine and follow what you do."

Dutch then explains that it has to be pulled apart before it can be cleaned. He then showed him how and Rock did the same with his. Dutch then showed him how to clean it and how to put it back together. Rock copied.

Rock "thanks Dutch I'll now just need a cleaning kit for it, I suppose I only need a few boxes of bullets to fill the half empty magazines."

He then locks the rifle back in the armoury.

Dutch "I see you use a revolver it looks a bit different to mine what is it?"

Rock "it is an eight shot smith and wesson 357 something centre I can't remember exactly."

Dutch"8 shot I didn't think revolvers came in anything but six. How'd you get it"

Rock " well first I asked him for a starter gun he said revolver and had 6 shots, then I asked the owner if revolvers had a higher capacity, showed me this I bought it"

Dutch" how much?"

Rock "I bought it in a package deal with a tiny browning lots of ammunition, custom survival knife and holsters all for 900 "

Dutch"wait a second gun why? And that possibly can't be in Baht right?"

Rock"American plus the promise to buy from him in the future."

"Must have bought lots of ammunition "

"A thousand rounds went through it in a month."

Dutch"that explains your gun experience it's equivalent to special forces, I mean 5 boats worth of crew using only the single shot even Revy and I can't do that. Never mind the fact you never used a rifle before in your life right?"

Rock"yes it was the first time I used a rifle also the first time I killed anyone was on that day."

Dutch "don't be hard on yourself they either kill you or you kill them there is no middle ground in a battle, you did the right thing."

Rock"I didn't do the morally right thing, I chose to kill to survive, I saw both you and Revy were having trouble, if you lot died I would have died so would Benny if I didn't choose to kill."

Dutch" let's forget about it for a while how a bout a stiff drink at the flag."

Rock "can't be seen remember, we don't need the flag to buy alcohol there are still bottle shops just bring some rum and beer."

As Dutch exited the lounge of HQ Revy came up to Rock.

Revy "I see your feeling better, can I have a look at your new revolver , wanna make sure you didn't get something low quality."

Rock"it's in my safe"

Revy"you got a safe I didn't see one. Did you buy it today or yesterday"

Rock"It was in the room when we listened to music"

Revy "really I couldn't see it and I know how to look for safes."

Rock"that's the point if you stay here I can get them for you."

Revy"Sure"

When he walks back down the stairs he has two empty weapons in his hands. He then showed them to her she takes them one at a time looks at them then comments.

Revy "wow a Blued Smith and Wesson Performance Centre 627 chambered in 357magnum 8 shot capacity with a wood grip, its custom colour sets it apart and it's uniqueness might catch people by surprise with the extra shots. I suppose that's the point. Now this is a FN Baby Browning an original using 6 round 25 ACP magazine, single action with wood your guns use wood grips then there's your new Kalashnikov again with the wood furniture. Jeez Rock you sure like to get wood"

She then bursts out out laughing, Rock doesn't get it then it clicks "jeez Revy " then an idea pops in his head

"Maybe Revy you want to meet my real wood." As Rock gently caresses her cheek, and launches into a kiss.

Revy unexpectedly just kisses him back and they kiss passionately, Revy taking the lead takes Rock's hand and leads him to her room. Leaving the guns on the table.

Dutch comes back with a bags filled with alcohol, he notices the two guns on the table. He locks the door behind him, listening for Rock, he hears bed springs moving in the direction of Revy's bedroom. 'Rock and Revy are finally doing it may be now all the stupid sexual tension will go away, I might as well move these guns to Rocks room, I'll just put them on his bed.'

The next day Rock and Revy were more relaxed, Rock headed straight to the lounge where he left his guns they weren't there. 'May be Dutch came back and put them in his room'

Rock then walked back up the stairs to his room and boom there they were on the bed, he then loaded them up and put them back in the book safe.

Rock now comfortable that those tools were locked away safe he went down again for breakfast.

Then the phone rang, his immediate reaction was to pick it up but he was just able to stop himself.'fucking habit at least I managed to kick my smoking habit.'

He then looked in the fridge nothing except beer. 'I had more food when I worked as a waiter, even when I hunted for food I got more substantial edible items than this.'

He was about to go shopping then realised dead men don't shop. He then walked into his room and looked for something to hide his face , he found a trucker hat a hoodie jacket some aviators and a black bandana that could cover his face, gifts he got from Revy in the past that he wore from time to time around the HQ, he still refused to wear that abhorrent Hawaiian shirt.

So he put all those clothing items that covered his face, eyes and his shirt. He took the loaded baby browning and holster and put it on as well then testing it. He tried to quick draw and it was a success it only took a split second to complete.

Putting it back in its holster he went down stairs took the keys to the Pontiac , out the door, then opened the garage and started the Pontiac locked the garage behind him then drove to the markets for some fresh food.

When he got back he opened the garage drove in then locked the garage taking the bags of fresh food inside putting it in the fridge/freezer.

He made bacon and eggs for breakfast for everybody, and made fruit smoothies as well.

Rock saw Revy, Dutch, Benny and his girlfriend that he forgot her name and just ignores her presence if she wants breakfast she can make it herself Benny needs his energy, if she tries to take half he will force her to make her own, she is the very definition of a skank, she was the girl that made almost perfect plates for printing America money and they saved her from the cartel who thought she was conning them.

He saw them coming down the stairs almost at the same time probably woken up by the smell of cooking.

Rock "the phone rang I didn't answer it, breakfast is ready for every one, Revy here's yours, Dutch there's yours, Benny that is yours, and before you ask this is mine."

Benny's girlfriend" where's mine"

Rock "make it yourself"

Rock then sat down and ate his breakfast. While the skank just drank the left over smoothie still in the blender.

The phone rang again the skank picked it up "Lagoon Company Privateers"

Rock hushed"Dutch since when did you change the name."

Dutch hushed"I didn't that's the full name I just never bothered to say the last bit."

Rock hushed"ha learn something new everyday."

The skank hands the phone to Dutch "it's Bella again she's got another job for you."

Rock hushed "Bella I hope to whatever god or demon that looks over this place that she is not speaking about Balalika"

Benny "unfortunately she is"

Rock "how is she still alive"

Benny "Balalika likes their conversations they have with each other plus she likes the nickname as it means beautiful in many languages except in russian there is a similar sounding word belka that means squirrel, I looked it up the moment she first called her Bella ."

Rock"and she is still alive, her conversations must be what's saving her life."

Dutch "we got another job lined up but this one will definitely go smoothly all we have to do is protect a transport ship arriving in the area in a few days from pirate attacks,"

Rock "piracy you mean what we used to do for every second job."

Dutch "well now we protect goods, aaand go back to it when jobs are low."

Revy "we are going to need RPGs I love firing those things."

Rock looking at Revy quizzically "just use one of our procured Kalashnikovs, like I did, your skills should be at least near mine I mean you've used guns your whole life."

Revy " I can't with those things I can only spray and pray."

Rock "fine just use that grenade launcher you used yesterday. grenades should cheaper than those rocket rounds that RPGs use."

Dutch"good idea Rock, I'm assuming your going to be in full tactical gear with your new rifle, if that last battle taught me anything."

Rock "scuse me I forgot I need to get more rounds for my rifle."

He then gets up and walks straight out the front door. He then walks to the gunshop.

"Hey there how's my favourite customer here to buy more rounds?"

Rock"yes I want 32 rounds of 7.62x39 and a cleaning kit for a Kalasnikov."

"Did you buy a gun from some one else tut tut."

Rock "No"

"Was it a gift?"

Rock smirks at the vendor "Define gift"

"Oh ooooh kay. That sort of gift" pause then" they come in boxes of 20's so you want 2? Are you topping off the magazines?"

Rock "yes "pause " I'll take 2 how much?"

"That will be 3 american for everything thanks"

Rock"American this time not Baht all the other times you always say how much in Baht first, what ever happened to our dance? First you say what it is in baht then I offer you the money in American."

"Because when I calculated it the conversion rate I was getting less than the baht I asked for,"

Rock"conversion rates change hourly if not constantly and any way american is worth way more than the baht, plus aren't all your weapons used."

"I see your point but I will still take 3 American."

Rock "fine"

He pays and takes the two boxes then walks back to HQ. He goes straight to the armoury and loads up all his magazines with the missing bullets, he used 32 of the rounds.

The next day they were on the boat heading towards the ship that they were hired to protect, Rock was dressed in his usual shirt, tie, pants and shoes, only this time he had his Tactical vest with magazines and in his arms his Kalashnikov. He still carried the hidden revolver and the baby browning.

Revy"I still can't get used to you carrying a gun never mind 2 and a rifle. Do you really need all those magazines were not going up against an army you know."

Dutch"we are arrived at the ship I've already notified them that we are here. Rock tie the rope to the boat then to use the grappling hook to get the rope on the ship tie it to the ship then tie another rope on the stern of our boat and tie that too we don't want our boat to leave us."

Rock complied and did that Revy helped him out while he tied the bow she tied the stern.

Once on the transport ship the captain of the ship came down to look at the lagoon company.

"So this is my protection, you two seem like you've seen some action but you" pointing at Rock"still are green i mean who carries their entire magazine stash for a protection detail and wear a white shirt with a fucking tie you don't even have the sense to wear boots."

"And you" pointing at Benny "do you even carry a gun."

Benny"I'm an analyst computer security expert, electronic engineer and radar technician I only carry a hidden gun for protection."

Rock ignoring the comment " pirates round here on huge hauls like this usually hunt together like wolves in a temporary pack, we could be dealing with at least 6 to 10 boats with 6 to10 pirates on board."

"Huge hauls huh I told Balalika to keep it on the down low,"

Rock "she didn't tell us and it only makes sense that's why Balakika sent us to do it she would feel like it would be below her pay grade to protect this herself plus she heard of our previous success defeating 9 pirate boats in our previous job,"

"Let me guess your the smart one but barely killed one pirate and the others did the work."

Dutch"actually he took out 5 boats worth on his own with that rifle he's holding and another with his pistol."

"Holy shit did you just get a discharge from special forces"

Rock"self trained, now back to business is the cargo explosive and if so which containers so that they can be avoided in the upcoming fire fight."

The captain told him the location of a single container that had explosives.

Rock thinking 'This job is about protecting an armoury of weapons most likely. Probably enough for a small war, so pirates will be coming in droves to snag what they can and sell it for a huge profit. I'm sure some one in the crew has blabbed so many pirates will have found out and attack when we get in too close to the port of Roanipur. This port is not the final stop otherwise Balalika would have sent her own men to protect it, this is going to be a long journey we will probably go past the port of good hope or port of Mogadishu ,or maybe port Moresby as these all are pirate hotspots.'

Rock"where are we going and where are we to go our ways?"

"We are going to Mozambique that is also the splitting point."

Rock "so we are passing Somalia and the pirate hotspot port of Mogadishu."

"Yes but we shall stick to the ocean and stay away from the coast they shouldn't attack with their speed boats they would run out of fuel before getting to us."

Rock "we will see."

Dutch " as expected Rock you already did your homework."

Rock sensing energies yelled out alarmed" 20 bodies or boats coming from the East,"

"What this far out to sea?"

Dutch "cover"

Everyone got into position behind the containers that were no where near the explosives one. Benny hid as well looking at his military portable radar system that looked like a beefy laptop, but the radar showed nothing, then after a second the boats started coming into the portable radar range of about 2 kilometres.

A minute later they came into range, Rock immediately took the safety off aimed and fired leaning out behind a container

BO BO BO BO BO BO BO BO BO BOOOM.

He took out 10 pirates on one boat with that had an RPG then hid back behind the container, then climbed to its top then fired another 6 rounds taking out another boat of pirates that also had an RPG. He then dropped down behind the container, then moved to the side that he had yet to fire from but in stead of firing he jumped behind the next container. He heard Revy and Dutch let loose their grenade launchers destroying 1 boat each. He then ran to the other side of the container he was on and fired 14 rounds taking out crews of 2 pirate boats both had RPGs. He then Reloaded dropping the empty mag on the deck and kept targeting boats with RPG's moving from place to place until he saw no more RPG's, even then he kept shooting and counting his bullets as he shot, hiding then reloading as he needed.

By the end he had used up all his rounds and all 8 magazines were lying on the ground empty, he had used all 270 rounds and there were still a few boats out there with 20 energy signatures left.

Then they disappeared after he heard multiple Grenade launchers being fired and reloaded, Revy and Dutch.

After feeling that there were no more energy signatures he picked up all his empty mags and put them in his vest, he as felt spent as his bullets were.

Rock shouted "ALL BODIES DEAD"

Dutch "Good I can't see any one left alive."

Rock"Dibbs on 7.62x39 bullets and magazines I'm completely spent I need good food and a rest after that."

Dutch" Rock it's Bogies not Bodies you kept saying Bodies"

Rock" I thought that Benny and you called them Bodies."

Revy"well they are bogies, now maybe we should call them bodies vote hands up for bodies."

Everyone except Dutch and Rock put their hands up.

Revy "really Rock not gonna vote for your own suggestion."

Rock "I honestly thought that's what you guys called them but you know what fuck it." He puts his hand up

Dutch "well that's settled and unsettling."

Rock " I'm going to replenish my bullets their all spent." He said as he swung his rifle on his back grabbed and threw down the ladder got an instant inflatable boat with a tiny motor inflated it then climbed down the ladder with both engine and boat in one arm till he got to the water, dropped the boat jumped on then attached the motor started it and drove the boat to each of his cleared boats and loaded up all his magazines, surprisingly most of these guys used Kalashnikovs, after he cleared the first boat it was a sports yacht, he loaded the inflatable boat in it set it to deflate itself, then steered the tiny yacht to the next small sports yacht.

Rock looked around more closely at the boats. 'It seems most of the pirate ships were sports yachts as speed boats barely fitted four people with no room for cargo and pirates taking big hauls needed cargo space as well as places for everyone to sleep. We should each take one and siphon the gas from the rest and store it, I'm sure that they have an auxiliary fuel tank to be able to get here then drive back to Roanapur , we could store these then sell them when we get back and make extra money. Some one needs to stay behind to protect them from thieves, Benny is useful but can't protect shit, Revy would be too willing to kill and stay here,But if Dutch orders it she will obey'

He then parks the yacht next to the ship and shouts

Rock"ask the captain how long he plans on staying in Roanipur"

Dutch then asks and responds to Rock

"24 hours then he is leaving."

Rock "Dutch how about we take the best boats back to Roanipur take the extra fuel from the others then have someone protect them so when we come back we can sell them and make extra cash."

Dutch "Great idea Rock, Revy, Benny we will all take one back then siphon the fuel from the rest."

Rock waited till all of them including Dutch got on his boat.

Rock then drove to a shot up yaht, probably Dutch's doing due to the size of the holes, he then found auxiliary fuel in jerry cans then put them on his yacht.

He drove them around the boats they found 3 other undamaged boats which one by one they got on eventually there were four boats looking for extra fuel and weapons and ammunition. They stored it all in the cabin on each of their Yachts, separating out the different types of guns, weapons and ammunition.

There was no trouble as they made port in Roanipur.

Dutch"Revy get that blonde friend of yours to help protect these boats from theft while we are gone."

"What!? Stay here like a Rottweiler hell no I wanna kill more we are going to the fucking pirate capital of the world I will not miss that opportunity, imagine the look on Rocks face when he sees it, it will make Roanipur look like it's filled with saints."

Dutch"Follow my orders and we can make extra money when we sell them and don't try to sell them till we get back."

Revy"fine as long as I get paid"

Rock announced"I need to buy extra bullets for my extra magazines the bullets I had were not enough "

Revy"not enough don't fuck with me Rock you almost single handedly wiped them out, let us get some action instead"

Rock"but you lot take too long, I took out the boats in five minutes you two were still spraying wildly while I wiped out half."

Revy"not all of us are good at long distance shooting."

Rock"practice, when I come back we can do some practice. Dutch how about I train you how to fire like I do. So buy extra bullets for what ever bullets your rifle have and I'll buy more clay targets and bring my target launcher, we can practice on the way to Somalia, bring 1000 rounds. "

Rock"Benny you good controlling remote control cars."

Benny"yeah I'm the best it's my favourite hobby"

Rock"buy a remote control vehicle that can carry 20 magazines worth of weight, that is 30 kilograms, I'll pay you back after this I get paid."

Benny"sounds like you want me to buy an RTR FG Monster truck with a 30cc engine, I'll have to remove the body and add a strong plastic bucket. I can do that but it will cost you 7000 American "

Rock "how about 4500"

Benny"6500"

Rock "we both know it's going to be 5500 and your going to have to control that thing. So let's just do that."

Benny "you know what deal"

Rock then takes out a note pad and pen from his pants writes down the details of the contract, flips the page over rights the exact same thing then signs and dates both.

Rock"sign both Benny and take one as evidence."

Benny "I'll be the one making it, don't you trust me?"

Rock "it's for tax deduction purposes as it is for work."

Dutch"fuckin Rock always finding ways to ditch paying tax, have you ever paid it since joining us."

Rock"only a fool would not try to reduce tax to pay."

Benny then signed both contracts and kept one.

So then Rock,Dutch and Benny leaving Revy to mind the boats while they bought and got what they needed for the practice sessions and upcoming battles.

When they returned

Rock and Dutch then got on the re inflated boat with the tiny engine, and drove it back to the transport.

Rock now had 28 full magazines for his rifle plus the one currently in his rifle and 1000 clay targets. They had to first get on the Black Lagoon with the inflatable boat. Then they drove back to pick up all their equipment.

Dutch "how do plan on carrying all 20 extra mags your vest maxes at eight."

Rock"you'll see"

Then they loaded all the equipment in The Black Lagoon. After a few more hours.

Benny shows himself and is controlling a bucket on wheels with a camera mounted on the front with a remote control that had an old smart phone attached to it being used as a monitor for the camera. The remote control ammo carrier was carrying 2 20 litre jerry cans.

Benny "hey guys took a while look what I built, our own ammo carrier and can carry up to 50 kilograms in weight. Neat huh eh Rock even made a few extra modifications. Don't worry mate it's at no extra cost. It runs on petrol so I filled up a couple of jerry cans that were empty in the boat I was driving."

Dutch"so that's what you were talking secretly to Benny about."

He said looking at the ammo carrier.

Dutch and Rock picked up the entire thing with the fuel cans inside it and put it on the boat.

They then drove the boat to the transport ship tied it up like they did last time then carried the ammo carrier to the ship making separate trips for the fuel then the ammo, the targets and launcher.

Then after a few more hours the transport made its way out of the port. When the ship was out at sea Rock set up the launcher.

Rock "Dutch it's all set up now its practice time."

Dutch"it's like basic all over again only this time the one in charge is not an angry Sargent but an office worker."

Rock"this office worker can out shoot you. Now is your gun loaded and ready to go set on single shot. "

Rock as he now started cleaning his Kalshnikov.

Dutch "yes"

Rock"When ready to shoot say pull I'll first start with 1 target, use 1 bullet per target."

Dutch"pull"

He missed.

Rock"in the marines did you ever practice with moving targets."

As he reloaded the launcher

Dutch"no"

Dutch "pull"

He missed

Rock"lead the shot follow the target and aim where it will go."

Rock "does your Kalshnikov run on the 7.62x39"

Dutch"yes"

Dutch"Pull"

He did as Rock said

But missed

Rock"keep going"

Dutch"pull"

He missed

Rock"does Revy even have a rifle"

Dutch "no, she mainly uses her hand guns, I suppose we can give her a Kalashnikov since we have so many of them now, not to mention we now have a literal 102 magazines that you never picked up Rock."

Rock "I'll get one and get it personalised for her with the same engravings she has on her guns."

Dutch "ha that's a good idea Rock, you do that, she'll love you for it, even if she doesn't tell it to your face."

Dutch"pull"

The target burst apart he hit it.

Rock" well good shot that means that you could only shoot at a still target now you need to reinforce these new skills let's keep practicing until we have used the entire magazine then we will work on weight endurance training after that how to sense energy, I'll explain it when we get to it then we will rest for the day.

After emptying the magazine and bursting 25 more targets they moved

on to a different exercise. Rock had now finished with cleaning his rifle and put it back together.

Rock "I only discovered this recently when changing mags you should do it as fast as possible while putting the empty one upside down where you're going to take the full magazine from, so first you take the the empty magazine out of the gun then with that same hand grab a full magazine and push it in the gun till it clicks like always, then let go of only the full magazine and put the empty magazine in the spot where you got the old one. Now try it "

Rock said as he demonstrated with his gun and magazines slowly so that Dutch could see clearly what he did.

"Now you try"

Dutch then copied the movements exactly following with his eyes his hands successfully replacing the magazines and putting the empty one away.

Rock"This will reduce damage to magazines and make them last longer, if you practice long enough you can do it like this."

Rock then within a second ejected the magazine then replaced it and put the magazine out of the gun into the empty pouch.

Dutch" holy shit how long did it take you learn that?"

Rock "eight hours of straight practice and not doing anything else, including going to the toilet or eating or drinking or even sleep, until I could reliably do it without mistakes for the entire eight magazines."

Dutch then practiced for the next four hours getting faster and faster until he was able to reliably replace all 4 magazines in his vest and take them out then in his gun and be as fast as Rock. After he was ready he called to Rock who was meditating.

Dutch "I can reliably do it now."

Rock"You took half the time but then again you also have half the mags."

With magazine training done it was time to move on to weight endurance training.

Rock"put these 1 kilogram weights on your arms legs and chest you will train physically like you normally do. When you can do the same as you could before you put the weights on I will increase the weight."

Dutch silently complies.

After an hour of exercises with the weights on.

Rock"now time to improve reaction time."

He started poking at Dutch "your supposed to dodge."

After an hour of attempted dodging.

Rock" now the energy training I was talking about. You will not understand it with a closed mind you need to open up your mind to all possibilities and take the approach that nothing is impossible. Once you get yourself in that mind set we can start, I have all day."

Dutch just relaxes his mind and stops thinking about how impossible it sounds. Until his mind was blank.

Dutch"let's learn this new skill then."

Rock "now it is easiest to first remove the weights and sit down comfortably."

Dutch does exactly that

Rock"now close your eyes and concentrate on your breathing and nothing else."

Seeing that he is just breathing and not fidgeting

Rock"now breath in deeply very slowly, then very slowly breathe out. This is called meditation"

Rock noticing that Dutch is doing exactly as he said.

Rock"now while breathing I want you to just feel your body not with your hands but with your mind, first let's start easy, feel your heart beat it is not a rush just let the feeling come."

Dutch"I feel it strongly beating in my chest almost like it is shaking the entire left side."

Rock"Good that's a start now I want you to resume your meditation, I now want you to explore your body with your mind start with the heart I want you find energy or heat there."

Dutch" I feel a tiny heat where my heart is beating but there is also another much larger heat in my gut."

Rock"that is your own personal energy. Now that you can feel your energy I want you to listen to my voice and just feel the environment around you."

Dutch"I feel the wind, the sea spray hitting my face, the cold wind and a shiver down my spine."

Rock"now try and feel in my direction"

Dutch "what do you mean."

Rock" just listen and feel your own energy then feel for energies around you let the energies appear to you don't fake force them to be there let them come."

Dutch just sits their with closed eyes for a full minute then

Dutch suddenly opening his eyes looking in Rocks direction "holy shit that energy I feel it's fucking yours, it's easy double mine, holy shit this is amazing, I can feel everyone on this ship."

Rock"right now your range should be within 10 metres. At least that what it was for me and I had half the energy that you are currently putting out. Wait what did you say?"

Dutch"I said I could feel everyone on this ship. But holy shit 10 meters in battle, being able to see through walls is a game breaker."

Rock "I'm impressed keep practicing and you will be able to feel the entirety of Roanapur."

Dutch"WHAT!? The WHOLE of Roanapur? Seriously, holy shit your not joking."

Rock"the next thing I will teach you I'm not sure of its usefulness as it only works on people who can sense energies and animals. This is to reduce the energy in your gut so that you can hide from them and hunt easier. I learnt it as a defence mechanism when those mercenaries were looking for me, I was sure they had found me when one was staring forward then his head snapped straight in my direction I reduced the concentration of energy in my gut, then after a minute. He shrugged his shoulders and continued looking forwards.

I think some of those mercenaries can sense energy.

That was also the day I learnt to sense others energy and the energy that they gave off is similar to what mine is now."

Dutch" did you just say that other humans also know about sensing energies and they have energies similar to yours, what does that even mean."

Rock " it means that they are as strong as me, as fast as me, have a similar reaction time to me and can most likely shoot like me. I trained to this point thinking all soldiers even you were like that minus the sensing energy part, so for my survival I trained until I reached their level."

Dutch " holy shit those guys can shoot like you but they used very few bullets"

Rock" I was their target bullets cost money and they were not paid to kill you."

Dutch" holy fucking shit, all those times that I thought they missed, they actually hit their target, they even hit the boat in the exact places so I couldn't turn around or stop, we even found out later that they had shot off the anchor hook so that even if I had thought of dropping the anchor nothing would catch and force the boat to turn.

Fuck me we were mice in a closed off room with a hungry cat, we never would have stood a chance if we went back some how."

Rock "back to the exercise meditate then feel your energy in your gut try and spread it around your body as evenly as you can by trying to grab it with your mind and moving it, try to move it as you breath out then hold it when you breath in, continue spreading it out in all directions as you breath out again. Oh and Dutch it hurts"

Dutch after a while started wincing as he breathed out, he kept wincing for about a minute until he thought he was finished spreading out his energy.

Rock feeling Dutch's energy"that's really good, you are now pretty much As hidden from people that can sense ki as you can get, you now feel like a small wild animal like a rat."

Rock "remember all this specialist training, we continue training again with everything everyday from now on until we reach the edge of Somalian waters. I expect you to improve in all areas."
