Naoki came bounding down the path from Conis' home. He just just learnt an amazing technique, it was a pity that he hadn't talked with Conis a bit more before their training session as he would have liked to. But he wanted to see what else Skypiea had to offer, other than the beautiful ladies who lived there. Naoki had always enjoyed meeting new and interesting people, he knew that Skypiea would be no different to that of the Blues below him. That sounded odd to Naoki, thinking below him made him remember that he was walking on an island situated on the clouds. It was amazing.
1/3 - Head-On Tackle.
Naoki continued to walk down the streets of Angel Island, however as he did so he found that he was being followed, he would often look out of the corner of his eye to see a man in a White Beret hiding behind a wall. Naoki did nothing, he just continued to walk onwards through the streets. The man in the white beret, continued to follow Naoki wherever he went, at some points he did in fact lose sight of the Beret in his bright white clothes, but soon found him again. It tended to be when the man sneezed. Naoki started to make his way back to his ship so he could explore the main body of Skypiea, when from behind he heard a rustling in the clouds behind him.
2/3
Naoki stopped in his tracks and turned his head slowly, then as he sun around to face the cloud he saw a white flash and out came the white beret, tumbling towards Naoki and knocking him to the ground, wrapping his arms around Naoki's legs. Naoki had been tackled, falling onto his back he looked up at Captain McKinley. He stared at him and asked "What the hell are you doing?" pushing the white bereted man backwards. Naoki stood up and brushed his trousers down. Mumbling away to himself he walked away, staring at the man out of the corner of his eye. "Don't come back!" the Captain shouted out, shaking his fist in the air. Naoki made some odd noise and carried on walking, of course he would come back. It was only a matter of time.

As Naoki moved away towards the docks, he couldn't help but feel a prescence behind him. It didn't seem all that unfamiliar either, he stopped in his tracks and turned his head around to see a solitary cloud in the middle of the street. Naoki sighed and pulled out a mini-bomb from his pocket and threw it a few feet infront of the cloud, causing a small explosion which meant that the Captain McKinley went flying backwards out of fright. "Why are you still following me?!" Naoki shouted out, pointing at McKinley with a face of a demon, sharpened teeth and fiery eyes.
1/5 - Camouflage
"HOSTILE! HOSTILE THIS MAN HAS HOSTILE INTENTIONS TOWARDS THE ISLAND! WHITE BERET'S ASSEMBLE!" McKniley shouted out, blowing the whistle that would then bring in every White Beret in the area to arrest Naoki. "Oro?" Naoki said, scratching the back of his head he started to move his feet backwards. It wouldn't end well for the young Navigator if he was to be arrested by the White Beret faction. He looked backwards and thought about whether or not he make it to his boat and escape them, but that idea was soon destroyed by the fact a large amount of Beret wearing men and women were on their way towards Naoki and the Captain.
2/5
"Thats quite the impressive device you have there Captain. Quite impressive indeed" Naoki said, his hand scratching his chin away. Mckinley replied with an arrogant smile. "But at the same time, bringing all of these Beret's here does mean that the rest of the town is defenceless from me" Naoki said, he was joking however for his new found plan to work, he needed to sound 'badass' and evil. "That is true! But how foolish, you can not escape the power of the White Beret's in your current position! What folly!" The Captain replied, his hands on his hips laughing out loud.
3/5
Naoki looked to his left, then looked to his right. "Yeah, it does look like I would have some trouble if I wanted to leave now as you wonderful people are in the way. If only I had some sort of way to escape without even being seen by any of you" Naoki said, tapping the side of his head looking for the answer. The Captain began to laugh "Yes! But you do not have the power of camouflage such as myself. Pity for you!" he bellowed out. "Yeah, you are right. Quite the conundrum I am in is it not?" Naoki said, toying with them, he knew how to escape.
4/5
It was easy enough to escape from these White Beret's, the people of Skypiea had never seen a man escape through a door cut into the air. That is exactly what Naoki did, with a smile he placed his hand on the air as though he was leaning on it, then with a wink at the Beret's he pushed forward and fell into his other dimension, the White Beret's gasping and running forward towards the door that already began to close, Naoki waving as it did so. He opened up the exit door on his boat and then sailed off towards Upper Yard.

Shinnosuke walked through the town seeing the destruction that was being fixed up by the citizens, whatever hit this town must of been pretty powerful. It was a shame the young man wasn't aware that an actual Fruit user caused this destruction. Looking around he needed more training, he was willing to receive training from anyone it didn't matter to him. "Okay so where the hell am I suppose to get training from, there has to be strong people here. I know someone has techniques they could teach me." Shinnosuke continued to walk through the town, he couldn't find anyone until there was a couple of loud steps that begun to approach him from behind. The young man Shinnosuke made an abrupt stop slowly tilting his head to the side so he could look behind him, it was none other than Captain Mckinley. This man looked strong, maybe there was something this man could teach Shinnosuke.
(Head-on Tackle)
1/3
Shinnosuke turned around to face the man, the two stood where they were just staring into each others eyes very viciously. As soon as Captain Mckinley blinked his eyes Shinnosuke appeared in front of him throwing a very strong Dynamic punch towards his face, the Captain side stepped dodging the punch completely, he tun head on tackled Shinnosuke to the ground and begun throwing various punches towards Shinnosuke face which were knocking him unconcious slowly. He couldn't let this man defeat him, not yet if he was knocked out who knew where he'd end up when he woke up. By the looks of things from what this man was wearing he was one of the men that made sure this town was kept safe. He must of thought this young man was a threat to the town, he was a pirate after all. The Captain slowly rose off the young man looking down at him with a vicious look in his eye, he was defeated once already, he wouldn't let this pirate defeat him as well.
2/3
Shinnosuke smirked then begun to laugh like a maniac. By this the Captain took a step backwards a little shocked that this kid was laughing all those power pack punches off. His eyes narrowed as he looked at the boy, he then leaped upwards then came down to stomp on Shinnosuke. The young man leaned to the side than rose his body picking the Captain up from under his legs than ran forward using his own version of the head-on tackle while holding the man up. Shinnosuke than ran straight into a building smashing Captain Mckinley against the side of the wall which made the wall crack slightly. The man couldn't believe this kid had enough strength to actually pick him up, this was unheard of. The pirates these days that were coming to Skypiea in search for power were really strong fighters, not only were they strong fighters they were amongst the elites in the generation. Shinnosuke watched as Captain Mckinley fell on his butt in front of him, Shinnosuke begun to walk away.

Shinnosuke continued to walk away, he guessed since he brought Captain Mckinley to his knee's and his eyes were closed he must of been out for the count. He was completely wrong, suddenly a fist punched Shinnosuke directly at the side of his face, the only problem was the young man never saw the fist attack him. Shinnosuke was sent skidding across the town against the ground. Shinnosuke spiraled his body up skidding backwards against his feet. "You just don't know how to stay down, its your funeral." Shinnosuke lowered his arms closing his eyes, he knew this man must of been invisible. There was no way someone could hit Shinnosuke without him being aware, he was very advanced when it came to close combat so this was quite a shock for someone to punch Shinnosuke in the face without him even sensing it. He wanted to learn this technique the Captain was using, he would learn it!
(Camouflage)
1/5
Shinnosuke smirked then begun to rely on his other senses than just his sight. This man was close to invisible so he had to really pull something out of his a** just to defeat this man. All of a sudden Shinnosuke was hit in the stomach and rose off his feet, tumbling backwards the hidden Captain Mckinley begun to throw several kicks towards the young man while he was rolling back. This man was really skilled when it came to close combat Shinnosuke had never fought someone like this. Shinnosuke than leaped forward headbutting something invisible that was in front of him, it must of been Captain Mckinley. He grabbed a hold of the man then the man begun visible yet again. Standing up he then threw the man over his shoulder straight into a buidling. The man went through a window into the building. At this point Shinnosuke was panting slightly, he then calmed down breathing just fine as he looked forward.
2/5
Shinnosuke's eyes widened, he then rose his arms blocking an incoming invisible strike that was directed towards his face. It was none other than Captain Mckinley, he was quite surprised how this boy was able to foresee the strike though, grabbing a hold to the man he then once again lift the man off his feet than smashed him on the face pushing the back of his head into the ground. The Captain coughed out blood as Shinnosuke ran to the side, this man was really something not only was he able to quickly jab Shinnosuke in the ribs but he was also able to protect his face by not hitting the floor hard enough to break his teeth. He used his arms to push away from impact which was pretty smart, this man was obviously physically stronger than Shinnosuke but not by too much. "Oi Oi, you're pretty strong. Is this rally actually neccessary, I just wanted to become stronger I didn't even mean to come up to this town."

Shinnosuke suddenly stood to his feet smiling, he understood exactly what this man was doing before him. Falling forward he planted his feet against the ground in front of his chest, the young man suddenly disappeared from view as if he became invisible. Captain Mckinley's eyes widened as he was sudden tripped from behind with a sweep kick, hitting his head on the side of the ground put some damage against him, he laid across the ground holding his head, as soon as he looked up he would be kicked directly in the face straight into a tree that would break slightly, the tree tilted to the side falling over. "....Pfft, your not so tough when your not using that technique, its called Camouflage right?" Shinnosuke laughed holding his stomach, he didn't have anything to worry anymore he knew all the techniques this man was going to try to use so this man wasn't a problem anymore.
4/5
The technique was called Camouflage, The user blends in with their environment, making it harder for them to be hit. This technique lasts for 2 posts and can only be used 2 times a day. Suddenly when Captain Mckinley blinked the young man in front of him was gone, this was unheard of, how could someone have so much potential. These pirates these days were all strong, there wasn't a single pirate that came up to skypiea and was weak, well to actually reach this point you'd probably have to be strong to even survive the knock-up stream yourself. "You should give up, theres no way of you defeating me your just not capable enough, ya know?" Shinnosuke became visible once again right in front of Captain Mckinley's face, smirking with a devious grin the Captain couldn't help but admit defeat this man was way too strong for him.

Shinnosuke walked up to Angel Island and came to a small house on the outskirts of the town with a small garden. "Hmm. Hello is there anyone here?" An old man came out of the house and looked at him. "Yes, can I help you?" He looked at the house then at the old man. "Gan Fall, the sky knight. I want you to train me." Gan Fall smiled slightly and rubbed him beard. "You want me to train you huh? Ok then youngster." Gan Fall put him arm over Shinnosuke's shoulder and walked him away from the house a little This was a little surprising, this man was being so kind was this a trick? This had to be the first time its been this easy to get someone to train him, Shinnosuke's been rejected many times but hes always got them to train him some how. "So there are no strings attached? Your going to teach me and I don't have to give you money or anything?
(King's Decent)
1/4
"I'll teach you how to descend." he then pushed Shinnosuke over the cloud and jumped down with him as they both went into a free fall strait down. "Are you crazy!?" Shinnosuke yelled and Gan Fall was completely calm. "Do as I say and we wont fall to our doom. Thime is a small island cloud further down but we must maneuver to make it. Now, keep your body strait and face down." Shinnosuke figured he had no choice so he did as Gan Fall said and took off much faster going strait down. This was amazing to Shinnosuke hes never seen such a old powerful figure, in the pirate ages there was no such thing as age advantages, there were old men that could take out crowds of legendary pirates. This is one of the most important reasons why Shinnosuke never underestimates his opponent, smirking slightly he couldn't wait till he actually learned this technique so he could be more agile in the air.
2/4
Gan Fall followed him and yelled over to him through the sound of the wind. "Now, spread your arms and legs out and let them go limp slightly but be sure to keep them extended outwards at all times." Shinnosuke did as he said and he suddenly started to slow down in him decent and saw the small patch of island cloud below. Gan Fall yelled over to him again. "Lean to your right a little." And he did and they both landed on the island cloud safely when this happened Shinnosuke proceed to glare at him. He wasn't pleased seeing how he almost just lost his life, he was willing to learn powerful techniques but if his life was at stake while he was learning the technique that was an entirely different story.
3/4
"Why, did you do that?" Shinnosuke asked a little irritated and Gan Fall looked up and whimpered. "Fffuuu! Piear!" A large spotted bird came down and picked them up taking them back to him house and Gan Fall looked at Shinnosuke. "That was your lesson. In the air, holding your body together can increase your speed slightly and extending your limbs out can slow you down slightly. You kids these days." He laughed a little and Shinnosuke left not wanting to get another lesson like that. This man was incredibly wise, he was glad to have learn this technique and glad that he was able to met Gan Fall. It was a shame he would have to leave him so soon but he was on a conquest for power, he was going to become stronger and he was going to be able to handle the elite of pirates or anyone that stood in his way. "See you later, Gan Fall!" Walking off the young man now had to find even some more training.
4/4

Shinnosuke walked around Angel Island for a bit, looking around at the many different things he could find. The buildings looked normal, but the ground was made out of cloud. It was like a hardened form of cloud, so Shinnosuke didn't let it bother him. He walked and walked, noticing that all the residents that he had passed had wings on their back. Shinnosuke thought that it was fitting for someone that lived in Skypiea. He simply smiled to those who passed by. They were pretty friendly, so most of them smiled in reply. Some even gave the casual wave to Shinnosuke. Shinnosuke liked it here, so far. The people were friendly, and the area was beautiful, so there wasn't really anything to dislike.
(Weapon Amnesia)
1/6
The young boy kept walking along, until he came upon a house. Now, this house looked a bit different than the others. Shinnosuke looked around, then spotted a young girl, near the house. She probably lived there. Shinnosuke hadn't made any attempt to talk to any of the people he saw, so he guessed that he would start here. He walked up to the girl and smiled. "I'm Shinnosuke Tsuji . What's your name?" He chuckled a bit, offering a handshake. The girl simply giggled and accepted the handshake. "My name is Conis. Welcome to Skypiea!" She had probably noticed that Shinnosuke wasn't from around here. Shinnosuke didn't have wings. "I have never seen you around here. Are you a new visitor?" Shinnosuke nodded. Conis simply smiled.
2/6
"Well, let me start by giving you some background on Skypiea." Shinnosuke nodded and waited for her to continue. "A few years ago, a man named Enel ruled over Skypiea. He considered himself a god, though there was some of us that didn't believe that. And we found out his evil plan, though we, along with the Straw Hat Pirates, stopped him. Then, all of the fighting ceased." She smiled weakly. Shinnosuke simply grinned and threw his hands into the air. "The Straw Hat Pirates came here?! That's awesome!" Shinnosuke laughed, as Conis simply giggled. Conis seemed like a nice girl, and she had greeted Shinnosuke nicely, so he smiled to her. Then, a blank face came upon Shinnosuke's face. "Wait, you fought?" This was surprising news that shocked Shinnosuke greatly.
3/6
Conis smiled. "Yes, well. I didn't really like it. You see, I'm not much of the fighting type. I don't really like using weapons." Shinnosuke smiled and nodded. "Ah, me too. I only fight when I have to, or when I think it's for the best." Conis nodded. Then, a look of slight excitement came over Conis' face. "Oh! I could teach you something that would help. It's a technique that causes both the user and the opponent to forget how to use weapons for a while. Would you like to learn it?" Shinnosuke smiled and nodded. "Sure!" Conis giggled and smiled lightly. Then, she began her explanation. "Well..." After explaining, Conis nodded. "Yes. And that's how the technique is performed." Shinnosuke nodded in reply. This young woman was very nice, it was a good thing he met up with her and not some angry other man he'd probably end up fighting.
4/6
Conis repeated, just to make sure Shinnosuke understood. "You basically look into your opponents eyes. Then and there, they'll know. No more weapons. For a while, at least." Conis smiled sweetly. Shinnosuke laughed. "Haha! Thanks! I'll be sure to use it sometime." He smiled to Conis, who simply smiled back. Then, Shinnosuke broke the silence with a question. "Hey, I plan to do some exploring while I'm here. Can you tell me about some of the places around here?" Shinnosuke waited for a reply. Conis' answer was a nod, followed by an explanation. "Well, there's still a bunch of people to meet here, on Angel Island. Like, Captain McKinley. He's a good guy." Then, she pointed over to a distant area. "Over there is Upper Yard, where Enel used to reign. He's still over there, but he tends to keep himself hidden." Shinnosuke nodded.
5/6
"His four priests resign there, as well. In Upper Yard. So be cautious if you decide to explore that area." She took a breath, then continued. "Oh, and the Shandian Tribe lives in Upper Yard, too. Except, they live on their own grounds, the Shandian Ground. They're good people, though they might now seem to friendly." She then pointed to the White Sea. "And there's the White Sea, but I'm sure that you've already seen it." She giggled a bit. Then, a voice called her from the house. "Oh, that's my dad. I better get going." She bowed a bit, then ran over to the house. Shinnosuke smiled to her, then waved. "Arigato! I'll see you later!" Conis opened the door and peered out of it before entering the house. She simply smiled to Shinnosuke , then went inside. Taro laughed a bit, then walked away. He liked Skypiea.

Shinnosuke was on his way towards the end of this town, he was going to leave and hopefully not return until a while back. Or it least till hes stronger, this place was too much for him. Every fight led to a next and he was starting to become tired of it, stopping in his tracks he then thought it was about time to learn the Kaioken technique. His sensei from back in his home town in the South Blue had wanted to teach him this but he never had the time, he was always causing trouble then he finally left the South Blue to become a pirate. This left the sensei disappointed but he was never going to turn his back on his pupil. Shinnosuke begun to take deep breaths in, wanting to build enough Ki so he could actually use the technique. Meditating he slowly then sat on the floor and begun to think to himself, he didn't know how he was going to pull this off but he had to figure some way how.
(Kaioken) ~Custom~
1/5
Shinnosuke then started to begin realizing exactly what he had to do. This technique he was about to learn was called Kaioken (Fists of the Worlds), It is a power up technique that allows Shinnosuke to amplify his strength and speed. Kaioken times 5 increases his speed in strength by five, Kaioken times 10 increases his speed and strength by ten, and his strongest version of the technique Kaioken times 20 increases his speed and strength by twenty. Each use of this technique decreases his stamina by ten during battle. Opening his eyes he smirked to himself proud that he finally had time to get back to that technique, hes been wanting to learn this technique for a while now. It was about time he started to get back to his roots, Shinnosuke smirked then slowly begun to stand up, he felt the ki surrounding him. He had to make it his, only then would he actually master this technique.
2/5
Shinnosuke was now standing on his feet up straight, positioning himself right he continued to meditate his mind so he could be in the right state of mind when he was actually planning on attempting to use this technique, he knew he could do it he had the potential for this. When it came to martial arts and close combat Shinnosuke was a genius to many which was quite surprising, he didn't look like much at first but when they see through the muscular body he has and that brawling look, one would see a great fighter, but more than a great fighter and honorable fighter.
3/5
Still concentrating suddenly the ground around him begun to react to Shinnosuke's technique, parts of the ground slowly begun to rise up out of the ground, surrounding the boy while gravity was definitely being denied suddenly a red aura begun to spark right in front of his face. His hair rose straight up as red energy begun to engulf the young mans body. His muscles were expanding slowly, gritting his teeth he then opened his mouth shouting. "Kaioken!!! Times five!!!" His loud roar echoed throughout the destroyed town, their were many pirates that traveled past these towns causing so much mayhem and destruction that nobody even put any effort in cleaning the streets and restoring the buildings back to what they first looked like. 
4/5
Shinnosuke stood there, even more musclar with this red aura blazing around his body, his cloths were flapping around from all this energy concentrated onto his body. He felt much stronger, this technique was really something else, he couldn't believe he was saying this but maybe his sensei was right back then in saying he should of stayed with him to learn more techniques, if only he knew some more techniques from his sensei then maybe he could be a lot stronger than he already was. Shinnosuke had to keep moving forward, he was a pirate yet he still didn't even have a pirate crew, this was strange. "I'm going to have to find a crew, I mean how can I have the world know of my existence if I'm not with a band of pirates that are also making a name for themselves." Shinnosuke walked forward, the red aura fading away from his body as he muscles also became smaller back to their usual size. He needed to head back to his Lone Man boat so he could head to West Blue.
