Koby and Daichi followed each other towards the more intense training area. This area was more devoted to weightlifting, as evident by the sandbags, barbells, and weights. Koby searched carefully and eventually found what he was looking for. He ran towards a blond haired man with a ponytail and tapped on his shoulder. He whispered to him hurriedly and pointed to Daichi several times. Helmeppo walked over and shook Daichi's hand. "Howdy. I'm Helmeppo, the Chief Petty Officer." "Are you sure you aren't making up titles now?" Helmeppo's eyes narrowed and Daichi could tell he just made an enemy.
Higher Senses 1/3
"Do not mock the importance of the Chief Petty Officer position! It is vital to the navy's political structure and integrity!" Daichi wasn't really listening but he made it look like he was. Having finished venting, Helmeppo put on a smile. "So Koby tells me you are interested in learning my techniques. Well, they aren't as easy or ridiculous as Koby's! Tell me, did you have to learn the Navy Will?" Daichi nodded and Helmeppo bust out laughing hysterically. He made a comical squinty face and Daichi finally had to start laughing out of the absurdity of the situation. Helmeppo finally stopped laughing and cracked his knuckles in preparation for this training.
Higher Senses 2/3
"The first technique I shall teach you is known as Higher Senses. It does just as its name suggests and heightens all of your senses temporarily. Simply focus on one of your senses and you can amplify it. To test it, I want you to tell me what I had for breakfast." Helmeppo opened his mouth and Daichi groaned, sad that he had to amplify his sense of smell. He closed his eyes and focused on his nose. Nothing happened for awhile until he felt a burst of smells come into focus. He took in a deep wiff and ran them through his mind. "You had chocolate syrup over waffles, a can of orange soda, and fried chicken...And you didn't wash your hands after you used the bathroom." Helmeppo blushed after he mumbled right.

Daichi stood by the bathroom while Helmeppo took an emergency bathroom break to wash his hands. Coming out of the bathroom, Helmeppo dried his hands with a paper towel and threw it in a garbage can. "All right. Now that the bathroom emergency is over with, we can move on with your training!" Daichi and Helmeppo began moving towards a new area of the training grounds. "Let me guess. Your moves revolve around Higher Senses?" "Well, maybe. Okay, yeah they revolve around Higher Senses but that still means they are useful. I will show you!" Helmeppo hung a dummy on a hook attached to the wall.
Blind Rage 1/4
A commotion was taking place across the training grounds but Daichi ignored it for now. He placed his attention back on Helmeppo and the hanging dummy. "All right. My next technique is known as Blind Rage. You heighten your senses, invoke your rage, and unleash it on the nearby foe. Basically a random attack meant to be combined with other offensive techniques." Helmeppo closed his eyes and suddenly opened his eyes with Higher Senses. He let out a snarl as he charged forward, attacking the dummy with a barrage of hits. He attacked him wildly and without strategy, something Daichi frowned upon. Nevertheless, he was going to try this no matter what.
Blind Rage 2/4
Daichi stared at the dummy. He was supposed to be feeling extreme anger but found there was nothing. He had no clue about what he should do to make himself mad but Helmeppo took care of that. "I see. You need something to make you mad. Allow me to help!" Helmeppo stomped on Daichi's foot and when he opened his mouth to scream in pain, Helmeppo emptied a bottle of hot sauce down his throat. What followed can only be described as the same feeling as what happens when a flamethrower is set off in your mouth. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Daichi coughed up hysterically, choking on the hot sauce that was singeing his throat.
Blind Rage 3/4
The combined pain from the foot stomp and flaming throat merged to form a tempest of pain and anger that could only be calmed by violence. Daichi let out a scream of rage and charged the dummy, tearing off its right arm. He used the torn limb to smack the dummy repeatedly until the only thing that remained was shattered remnants. Helmeppo clapped happily. "Yep, that is the Blind Rage exactly. Glad I could help." Daichi turned on Helmeppo and the petty officer's smile faded immediately. Daichi tackled him and began pounding on him, still stuck in the Blind Rage. The two rolled around, exchanging blows rapidly and screaming in anger.

After nine minutes of fighting, the fighting pair broke apart. Both looked more ruffled and their clothes were messed up but no true damage had been done. Helmeppo smoothed his clothes out and cleared his throat. "Now that Blind Rage is done, we can move onto my final technique. This is the companion to Quick Pace, known as Navy Strength. This increases the user's strength dramatically and allows you to inflict more damage." Daichi felt slightly better now; this kind of technique could actually be useful and be used in a variety of ways. He waited for instructions from his teacher for now.
Navy Strength 1/4
Helmeppo pulled a long padded bench out of a storage closet and placed it in front of Daichi. It was long enough for pretty much anyone to lay on it but you could never be too sure. Next, Helmeppo drew out a long iron pole which was completely smooth. He tossed out a few discs of weights along with two stoppers. He moved the discs over both ends of the pole until both sides were bulging with equally distributed weights. The stoppers were carefully placed to avoid any sliding accidents. He held up the barbell carefully and smiled. "This will be your test." Helmeppo lifted up the barbell and balanced it carefully on one finger.
Navy Strength 2/4
Daichi had to admit that the display of strength was impressive for a human. Helmeppo threw it to the floor, where it left a small indent and pointed to it. "With the aid of higher senses, you can increase your strength and do things that are impossible normally. However, it is only a temporary effect and repeated uses in a short time can be damaging to your body." Daichi nodded and easily understood what to do. He focused his mind until Higher Senses was active. He directed all of his energy to his muscles and wrapped his fingers around the barbell. Now would be the true test of power.
Navy Strength 3/4
Daichi lifted his arms and took the barbell with him. He held it high over his head without much effort and was surprised. He was using as much effort as with a paper bag but he still wasn't sure if it was working. He balanced it on one hand and finally on one finger. He bounced it overhead and threw it high over his head, catching it effortlessly. He dropped it to the floor and Helmeppo clapped furiously. "Perfect. You have learned everything I can teach you. Good luck and make the navy proud!" Daichi left Helmeppo and smiled. That was easier than he thought it would be and he didn't lose his temper. His merman instincts yearned to properly be tested and he calmed them. He needed a challenge but for now, he headed to the navy store.

After coming back from the marine shop, Daichi walked to an empty area of the training grounds carrying his items with him. Time to do some practice with my own moves." He said in a solumn tone and walked over to an old shack at teh edge of the training grounds. He walked into the old rustic building looking around and placing his large items on a table in the middle of the room. "This place will do I guess." He took a seat and reached into his bag shuffling around its contents.
Morphine Injection 1/4
He pulled out a silver canister, not too large overall, and sat it on the table infront of him examining it. "Morphine will come in handy when I need to operate but until I have to, it's a waste of space. Or maybe not." He connected a black rubber tube to the head of the canister and placed the end with the mask on it over his nose and mouth while turning a knob on the head of the canister. He turned it on for only a moment then shut it off taking a deep breath inhaling a small amout of the morphine.
Morphine Injection 2/4
He took the mask off his face looking down at his hand and clutched his hand to make a fist then punched the table as hard as he could. He twitched slightly feeling a little pain and looked at his red knuckes unsure of how much damage he actually did to himself. "Huh. This may work." He took the gas mask again and placed it on his face securing it over his nose and mouth again and turned on a knob on the head of the canister releasing the morphine into the mask again but held it on this time.
Morphine Injection 3/4
After almost a minute passed, he turned the morphine off and pulled the mask off his face setting it on the table and looked at his hand again moving it around but not feeling it. He picked his hand up and punched the table with all his weight behind it cracking the old table slightly and still didn't feel a thing noticing that his had was bleeding a little. "Looks like I just found a use for my morphine in a fight." He said stitching his hand up slightly to prevent infection to the open cut.

"And now that I have the Kage Kage no Mi, I can bring our dream one step closer." He said reaching into a bigger bag and setting it on the table gently like there was something fragile in it. He grabbed the end of the bag and pulled it off revealing the corpse of a girl inside, roughly Daichi's age, but she was extremely pale. "Ah, you haven't aged a bit. It does help that you've been dead though." He threw the bag to the side and brushed her hair from her dead pale face.
Kage Animation 1/5
Stepping away from the table afew feet, he looked down at his shadow and made it wiggle a little to confirm that he had control of it. "Alright." He looked back over to Aki's body on the table and focused his shadow on her body. His shadow slowly rose from the ground like a type of black ooze and moved over to Aki's body and hovered over her for afew seconds before sinking into her body slowly. Daichi took a breath glad that he could manage to put his shadow into Aki's body. "Now for the test."
Kage Animation 2/5
After Daichi sunk his shadow into Aki's body, he kept his eyes on her or rather his shadow in her and focused on bonding his shadow to her body so he could start his technique. He held his hand up towards Aki's body focusing his shadow into her body and soon enough, he quickly bonded his shadow to her lifeless body and lowered his hand again cracking a smile on his face that he was so close. "Soon Aki. Our dream will be one more step closer to being complete." He then relaxed his body and smiled at Aki.
Kage Animation 3/5
"Now." He focused slightly with the intention to move his shadow which in end would move Aki's body. "Sit up." Daichi looked as he commanded his shadow to sit up and afew seconds passed with nothing happening but then, Aki's hand moved a little. Then her arm bent and her hand grabbed the edge of the rustic table and she sat up slowly. Daichi was moderatly overjoyed with this sight. "Could you please come to me?" He asked Aki's corpse and it took afew seconds to comprehend but she suddenly opened her eyes.
Kage Animation 4/5
Aki then turned her body off the table putting her feet on the floor and hopped off the table wobbling a bit at first but then got her balance and walked towards Daichi like she was a living and breathing person. She stopped right infront of him and just gave him a blank stare. He reached into his bag and pulled out a one piece red dress. "Now that My technique works, I think it would be better if you had some clothes on." He smiled and put the dress on her finally perfecting his Kage Animation technique.
