Ariana walks around seeing a big strong guy she'd learn to find his name was, "Duval." Ariana stared at his appearance since he was so massive and he wore a lot of armor. The guy grabbed a rock and hit a guy over the head with it. Ariana had just got on the scene so she didn't know what exactly what was going on. SHortly after hitting the guy the man got up and began to run. Ariana covered her mouth in shock and watched as the ran off and Duval stood there enraged crushing the rock in his hand.

2/4
Ariana knew that wasn't normal and it caught her eye immediately. She turned to Duval and her eyes rattled in some kind of fear. She took a few steps back as his head turned to her slowly and he seemed like he wanted to crush her as well. Ariana cracked a small smile and laughed in a light hearted manner feeling uneasy. Duval grunted slightly and looked as the guy ran off and began to walk off himself. Ariana looked at him as he walked off slightly relieved but not wanting him to go.

3/4
"Hey you!!!! Mister wait a minute!!! Whats your name and can you teach me a few things that you know?"
Ariana yelled as she began chasing Duval waving her arms and jumping up and about to get his attention. Duval turned around slowly then looked down at Ariana only using his eyes and not his head. He sighed not wanting to be burdened with teaching a mere child. He scratched his eyes brow and took a deep breath before replying with no enthusiasm or energy in his voice showing his lack of interest for helping her.

4/4
"I am Duval and I guess I can teach you something simple, but only one thing and one thing only. After this don't bother me follow me or ask anything else, got me?'
Duval said making his point of not wanting to be bothered clear to Ariaan. Ariana looked up to him feeling kind of bad as if he didn't want anything to do with her. She nodded slightly without replying in words and waited for the technique. Duval grabbed a rock and crushed it.
"Okay thats it. FOcus your energy to your hand and fingers then squeeze the object. How you prefer to destroy it is up to you and different rates and ways of crushing it may cause different effects of shattering."
Ariana picked up a rock and squeezed the rock crushing it in her hand with ease watching it shatter all over the place. Duval then walked off and Ariana kept her deal

Ariana looked around for another trainer and saw a guy who looked pretty tough and walked up to him. The guy rose an eye brow looking down at her and smirked. Ariana returned the smile and thought it'd be polite if she introduced herself this time around but before she could the guy took her hand kissed it while bowing politely. It seemed out of place because of their status and his dressing style. Ariana blushed slightly looking at him but it was covered partially by her mask, hair, and glasses.

2/5
"hi beautiful, I am Puzzle. You would be and why are you here if you don't mind me asking?"
Ariana smiled as he continued to hold her hand and his head titled. She made strong eye contact then replied
"I am Ariana Shuketsu-Suru and I'm a pirate technically but I just want to explore and get strong so I can manage to keep traveling with my crew. I don't think they'd want me holding them back, especially my sexist Captain.


3/5
"Ah I see, so what does that have to do with me?"
Puzzle asked looking her back in the eyes his headed still near her hand tilted. He smiled slightly knowing exactly what Ariana wanted but was trying to become difficult. Ariana gave a look of confusion wondering if he was messing her. She thought it was quite clear she wanted him to teach her a few techniques.
"Well I was wondering if you could teach me something useful to help me with my journey"
Puzzle smiled slightly and pulled her in by her hand so their chest touched and they were face to face.
"And whats in it for me tuts?"
Ariana cracked an uneasy smile and shrugged her shoulders as he held her hands.

4/5
"Um... I don't know I don't have much money since I need this to get out of this place. I guess I could give you some items or teach you something maybe a few techniques."
Puzzle smiled looking into her eyes and replied with a sick remark that he soon come to regret
"Oh I don't need any of that...How about I take you to my house to have some fun?"
Ariana's eyes widened in shock as she pushed against him with her hands on his chest and turning her head away slightly.
"eh... no thankyou?"
She said simply irritated a bit. Puzzle let her go and turned his back and looked off.
"Well I guess I don't have anything to teach you then."

5/5
Ariana was now fed up with Puzzle and hook punched him to the back of his head then clothes lined his face against against a light post. She rested against his back pressing against him and combing her fingers through his hair slowly and rubbing it against the pole then slowly pulled it off the post showing him the poster on it then brought her face next to his. She had a slick smile with half open eyes as she spoke
"Well do you see that bounty? Its from kicking a** which I do well. Now you better shape up"
Puzzle stayed quiet showing a bit of cooperation not even struggling anymore. Ariana released him and crossed her arms giving him a dull look.
"Its called phoenix down"
Puzzle said simply knocking Ariana to the ground. Ariana stood up slowly and stared at him with anger.
"This technique allows you to stand every time you have been seriously dropped. Hit me back "
Ariana got up and clothes lined him so that they both fell to the ground with Ariana's arm laying on his chest and she was in a sitting position while he was on his back. Ariana then stood up dusting herself figuring he wasn't getting up the way she had hit him. To her surprise she was wrong. Puzzle smiled then knocked Ariana down.
"Relax your nerves and just move your muscles."
Ariana felt laid out but hearing what he said she listened and stood up but growled a bit chasing Puzzle around.

Ariana was still chasing Puzzle all over the place. He ran behind a tree and pulled on a branch and as Ariana followed he released wacking her onto her back. Ariana was now unconscious falling to the feet of Lucci of cp9. She sighed looking at the sky and seeing his face feeling she was in a load of shyt now. There was no way in hell she was going to beat him and hopefully he wouldnt recognize her. He smirked slightly looking down at her knowing exactly who she was but would pretend he didn't.

2/6
He offered her a hand and she took it to stand up. Once up she smiled slightly and replied politely
"Thankyou...very much..."
Lucci laughed under his breath and then said to her keeping it short, sweet, and simple.
"You know that you can avoid falling on your a** with a simple technique right?"
Ariana blushed from embarrassment from "getting knocked on her a**" before cp9 member lucci

3/6
Lucci could see her embarrassment and laughed a bit noticing how her face became flushed and her cheeks turned pink.
"You don't have to be embarrassed we all fall on our a** once in awhile especially me. Would you like it if I taught you that technique? Its make your fighting a experience a bit easier further down the road when you might need to stay on your toes."
Ariana smiled jumping into his arms and hugging him tightly and screaming
"yeayeayeah please teach me"

4/6
Lucci had a big sweat bubble hanging on the side of his head a bit disturbed by her enthusiasm to learn fighting techniques. He laughed a bit holding her then putting her back on the ground gently so she could extend her legs and stand on her own. Ariana blushed again a bit embarrassed about how she acted purely on impulse.
"well then first you need to learn to relax a bit. You're are too tense and your a bundle of joy who doesn't know how to distribute or use energy effectively"

5/6
Ariana smiled uneasy then Lucci walked over to her and fixed her face with his fingers. he then stood back and took a pose checking her out then walked back over to her relaxing her body stature with a few adjustments moving her arms stance then rubbing a few pressure points to get her loosen up. Ariana felt as if she was a exhibit but she figured it was all for her benefit and allowed him to. Lucci then stepped back and shrugged feeling he couldn't do any better then moved on.

6/6
Ariana smiled uneasy as Lucci stared at her weird. He simply shook his head and sighed with his head titled down eyes closed and his fingers on his temples. He thought then finally looked up and opened his eyes while removing his hands coming up with an explanation.
"Okay you know that force you feel when your struck? When if its great enough to take you off your feet then let it without thought but make sure you complete that that flip, spin, or what ever it is by adding your energy to it. Give it a try I think you'll get it"
Lucci said then rushed off to Ariana using Soru and punching her in the face throwing her into a spin she couldnt avoid.
"WAIT!!!"
She yelled but was already struck and sent flipping. She followe the directions and bak flipped multiple times landing hand then feet then hand then feet until she came to a final flip. Lucci smiled then clapped his hands looking at Ariana. Ariana smiled slightly as her cheek throbbed then bowed to Lucci.
"Well you ought to run off before they decide they want me to catch you. Hurry on."
Ariana stared in shock guessing he did know she was a pirate, She nodded to him once with a smile then ran off but as she did she looked abck and yelled
"One day I'll be as strong as you Lucci and maybe even Cp9"
Lucci shook his head in pity as Ariana faded away

Ariana stops before Masira near a ship. The big brute looked down at her and tried kicking her. Ariana jumped over the kick and landed light on her feet. Shortly after Ariana was smashed down into the ground with two clasped hands then picked up by her leg being dangled upside down by her ankle. Ariana coughed a bit caught off guard by this mysterious attacker. Masira then tossed Ariana against the side of the ship. Ariana bounced off the side of the ship from the impact and hit the deck.

2/6
Ariana struggled to her feet seeing blurs and doubles. Masira roared heading Ariana's way stomping heavy. Ariana felt tremors making her slightly sick as she stared at multiple Masiras running her way. She lifted her mask and vomitted a bit. Masira then hook kicked Ariana to the stomach lifting her off the ground and sending her flying through the boat side onto the floors of the boats cellar. Masira then jumped into the ship from the hole created. By the time Masira got inside Ariana had managed to climbed to her feet still feeling like a hot mess.

3/6
Feeling hopeless and unable to grasp what was going on before she'd get assaulted again by the monster. Masira ran up to Ariana clothes lining her into the wall behind her causing a large imprint of Ariana's body to be made against the inside appear on the outside of the ship. Ariana's eyes were closed and her whole body was in pain from being struck. She opened her eyes slowly and saw a barrage of punches heading her way but she had no chance of dodging them. Each strike hurt worse than the last and it seemed to never stop.

4/6
After the punches had stopped Ariana was a bloody mess and all bruised up. Masira peeled Ariana off the wall like a sticker and flung her back outside of the ship through the whole they had created in this brawl or beat down which ever you prefer to call it. Ariana hit the ground rolling multiple times until she came to a halt. She stayed put eyes open and seemed she was stunned from fear. She flinched a bit feeling paralyzed from the fight. After a bit of silence Masira appeared in the air landing on Ariana with a stomp to her stomach.

5/6
A few ribs were heard cracking as she screamed out in pain gripping the grass. Tears built up in her eyes and she coughed up a massive amount of blood as everything seemed to move slow and the pain lingered in a sharp flat line. Masira walked off of Ariana's stomach and picked her up by her neck. Ariana eyes were closed as she flinched continuesly coughing up a bit more blood as Masira looked at her. Ariana's mask slid over her over mouth and nose giving her air to help her breath. Luckily for her the broken ribs had not punctured a lung.

6/6
Masira tossed Ariana into the air and as Ariana came down she was socccer kicked behind Masira sent flying into a bunch of crates. Upon hitting the crates they all broke kicking up dust and thick smoke. When the smoke cleared Ariana was sitting barely conscious hung up against the walll and a few crates the only things keeping her from falling to her face and sitting up. Masira smirked evilly so it'd seem to Ariana but it was all in pure satisfaction of being able to protect his captain. Seeing Masira approach her again her heart rate spiked frequently but Masira didn't do anything but warn Ariana.
"If you try to attack my captain again then you'll truly feel my rage you b***h. Now scram rodent"
Ariana just sat there taking it all in realizing this whole dumb s**t was from a false assumption of her presence. Ariana learned thats what it meant to truly put your life on the line for something you love. Masira's effort made Ariaan's look minor to the time she tried to protect Noah from that Marine. Ariana didn't plan to return if she ever got up. After laying in the broken crate pieces for a long period of time she managed to get up and limp away.

Ariana stumbled into a more peaceful part of the forest sitting back against a tree. She closed her eyes thinking of peaceful thoughts trying to get by the pain. After a few minutes she'd hear whistling and following would be a woman with blue hair. Ariana's lazy eyes followed the woman as she passed right by liking the smell that she had trailing her. It made Ariana relaxed along with the tune she made. Songs always relaxed Ariana's nerve but she never learned to whistle and if she could she wouldnt be doing it now with the amount of pain she was going through.

2/2
The woman noticed Ariana beaten up badly against the tree and stopped looking down at her with a blank face. Ariana stared back at her with an emotionless face. The woman walked to her and crouched down beside her taking out her perfume.
"You don't look so good. What happened?"
Ariana mumbled a bit trying to speak but wouldn't remove the mask because itd cause her to struggle with breathing.
"Fighting...whats that scent?"
The woman smiled noticing Ariana could depict the unique smell of her perfume.
"Its something special i made it should keep one from attacking."
Ariana smiled reaching for it opening it spraying so much of it to smell that she became immune.
"I like it"
Ariana handed the girl the empty bottle and she gave Ariana a dull look helping her get fixed up using Ariana's doctor techniques

Ariana gets up and walks off after being helped by vivi. She felt much better able to continue her journey of training which she'd need to hop on immediately because her competition was gaining an edge on her. Ariana waved by to vivi then continued walking seeing a huge beast in the distance. Ariana took cover hiding behind a tree and peaked out looking at the beast running around picking up boulders and tossing them as if it were on a rampage. She climbed up and looked down to see the ape better.

2/4
When Ariana got to the top of the tree she saw it wasa guy or a girl. It was quite hard for her to distinguish from the height so she told her self. The figure had pink hair in pig tails and a large masculine structure but some signs of woman like features. Ariana didnt want to assume because guys could have their hair like that and those couldve been men boobs. Ariana kept watching as he/she threw things around as if it were light work. Then suddenly a crackign sound took place. Ariana looked abck at the tree trunk and sighed

3/4
The branch snapped and Ariana had some hang time staring at the camera gulping. Then she fell from the tree rapidly looking down and landing on the man/woman cushioning her fall. When she landed on the man/woman she sighed and wiped sweat off her forehead quite relieved she survived the drop. The woman/man mumbled and moan as Ariana sat on her/him then growled slightly but it was muffled. Ariana then hopped off as fast as she could and turned to the man/woman feeling horrible for what happened
"Oh I'm so sorry"

4/4
Ariana apologized looking at the man/woman laying on the ground then helped him/her up. The man or woman was known as miss monday and was a body builder/pirate of enormous strength. Ariana had a big sweat bubble hanging on the side of her head looking up and the huge woman in awe. Miss monday growled at Ariana and pulled her arm free from Ariana. Ariana thought itd be a great time to speak before she was crushed
"Hi I'm Ariana and I am trying to learn good techniques to help my fighting skills"
Miss monday stared at her dully and showed Ariana figure and form when she lifted the boulder then showed the form in slow motion when she tossed it. Ariana copied and repeated the form and then tossed
the boulder.

1/5
Ariana didnt even know she had that strength as she struggled and once launching the boulder off she smiled bowed to miss monday. miss monday returned a dry and dull stare not liking the fact she was beign stalked landed on and called a man. Ariana gave an uneasy smile and then spoke
"um im sorry to be a burden but can you teach me another technique please. Just one more I need to get much stronger and skilled to beat stronger adversaries I was embarrassed a bit back and a few months ago as well."

2/5
Miss monday stares at Ariana with a dull face and sighs looking at Araina uneasy smile. By looking at her a small smile formed on her face as well which relaxed Ariana a bit. Miss monday turned to an actual ape and punched it square in the face sending it flying about fifty feet back. Ariana stared in awe not expecting her to be that strong. She just saw the muscles and figured she was regular old buff but it turns she was the strength of a demon. Ariana wasn't sure if she could do it herself and hesitated to hit a monkey out of the blue for no reason at all

3/5
Miss monday saw Ariana's hesitation wondering what the hold up was about. Ariana looked to Miss monday a bit uneasy and feeling she was wasting her time and miss mondays. Miss monday walked over to Ariana and then finally spoke for once. It was almost what Ariana was expecting from her yet it still surprised her. This day seemed to be full of surprises and awkward moments close calls and drama not to mention plenty of trama and headaches.
"well you don't have to worry about the apes. I beat them up all the time they can handle more than me sometimes."

4/5
Miss mondays voice was deep like a mans but you could tell she was trying to cover it up by lightening up her voice and speaking as soft as she could. Ariana was starting to question if she was truly a woman or originally a woman to begin with if anything. After this whole time she came to a conclusion that Miss monday was a transsexual body builder but she kept her thoughts to herself to be polite. Miss monday stared at Ariana noticing she went into a complete blank most likely from questioning Miss mondays sexuality so much that she lost sight of the task

5/5
"Girl? Girl are you okay? Pay attention I have a full schedule of weight lifting planned for today and I just wanna get you out of the way so I can go back to it if you don't mind. So lets get going now focus on stance and the straight motion of your hands. You need a secure tightened fist punching with the knuckles, a straight wrist and a completely straight motion when extending the arm. We must agree that the fastest way to get to point A to B is in a straight line right? Well focus on striking like that as well as focusing on the power by getting the energy from the ground by spreading your legs and giving a spring from the back foot into the strike. Give it a shot"
Ariana threw a straight punch with no problem with the power springing fromt he back leg using kinetic energy. Ariana sent the ape flying over fifty feet back and squeeled jumping up and hugging Miss monday. Miss monday had a straight face but then smiled after a while. Ariana left Miss monday to continue training

Ariana runs off seeing a baseball field out in the middle of this weird forest where everything seemed to dwell. She was never sure what she'd find next but she didn't question it much since she was glad a field was all she found. She stood at a base and took out her bat pretending a base ball was coming her way and swung like a girl would spinning in the same spot three times then falling to her butt. In the distance a fat kid was laughing at her leaning against his bat.

2/4
The fat kid walked over to Ariana who was still seated looking at him with a glare. He reached down to help her up and smiled slightly to her it was a bit heart warming and made her smile as well returning a warm smile herself setting a good impression. The kid picked up her bat and handed it to her. Ariana took the bat while looking at his bat that resembled her bat a lot.
"So you play ball I see. As you can tell I suck really bad at it. How good are you at this?"
The boy laughed a bit cocky feeling his skills were great enough to be a major league player

3/4
Ariana looked at the boy with a dull stare thinking she wasn't going to like him one bit. She never seemed to get along with cocky a** holes that always wanted to show her up. The boy saw Ariana's strong stare of hate and then cleared his throat with a large sweat bubble on the side of his head as he gulped.
"eh erm yeah I'm quite good. I can hit a home run with ease. Would you like to see? I can show you a strike with enough power to get a home run every time even though you don't look like the baseball type at all if you asked me"

4/4
Ariana sighed shaking her head slowly thinking the kid was a moron. Just by looking at him should could tell he was the annoying fat chatty cocky type who never knew when to shut up.
"I bet you get beat up a lot don't you? Please don't answer that...just show me your hit I might actually need this for my fighting style. Also yes I don't play ball I fight."
The boy remembered seeing her poster and stayed quiet and swung showing the full motion and posture for the technique. Ariana imitated the technique by watching and repeating as if this were naruto.

mr.4 was surprised by her quick ability to catch onto things at first attempt and sight. He stared at her in astonishment hearing the sound barrier being broken by the the swing of the bat. The accuracy and control of the bat so precise and her grip unchanging or affected by such a strong swing. He walked far off to a dirt hill (pitching mount) and pulled out a ball and looked at observing it. He looked at Ariana and nodded slightly to her. Ariana nodded back to him in reply showing she was ready for the ball when ever he chose to throw it.

2/4
Mr.4 threw the ball at half speed to test Ariana's ability to strike the ball. Ariana didn't calculate a thing she just waited for the ball to get a good distance from her and when her judgement told her to swing she swung missing the bal completely not even coming close. Mr. 4 stared in blankness then laughed his a** off falling over and rolling on the ground at Ariana's horrible accuracy.
"shi shi shi shi you need to practice accuracy and calculating. You cant wait for it to reach you. Its moving way faster than you think ya know"

3/4
Ariana stared at Mr. 4 dully again watching him over react as if Ariana was a baseball player or had played ball any other time than now when in fact this was her first time even having a ball thrown to her. Ariana stuck her middle finger to him then took in what he said realizing he was right. When the ball came and sh decided to swing the ball had passed her by a long shot. The margin between the swing and the distance was too far and she had to calculate it accordingly to get it also the alignment was off anyway and wouldnt have hit even if her timing was correct.

4/4
Mr. 4 got up and looked to Ariana seeing her in silence for quite a while seeming to be thinking. After the middle finger she seemed rather solemn and it was almost kind of relaxing yet felt threatening not knowing exactly how she felt. He picked up the ball and looked over to Ariana nodding to her. Ariana replied with a nod back to him and held her bat up and waited the pitch. Mr. 4 threw the ball at the same speed towards her and she watched it visioning the ball and its curves that people wouldn't normally pick up on without practice. She swung and hit a home run. Mr. 4 smiled and Ariana ran off without saying bye and laughing.

Requirements: Horo Horo no Mi
Post Length: 5 posts

1/5
Ariana looks to Perona waiting for her to give directions. Perona sits down and speaks rather than demonstrate.
"Well theres not much I can say you know how to create ghosts already focus on putting more effort energy and time to create bigger ones. As you practice more it'll come easier. All I can really tell you is to try imagining what you are doing and it'll make it somewhat easier when trying to actually create a hollow

2/5
Ariana closed her eyes after the description and began to think about the technique feeling the wind against her face as she stood still facing the oncoming winds. The trees rattled a bit and her hair blew back in the gentle breeze that felt rather relaxing and completed this perfect day. Ariana held her arms out at her side focusing as if she were creating a regular tiny hollow but with a bit more effort into what she did. A small hollow was created but it was relatively the same size

3/5
Ariana opened her eyes looking at the small hollow but not getting angry or frustrated with her accomplishment since it wouldnt make her technique any better or benefit her in anyway. it would seem that in the right atmosphere Ariana seemed stronger and much more intelligent. Ariana looked up at the sky and thought for a minute pondering on what would make her technique a bit better. Her multicolored eyes reflected the skies blue then soon the grasses green.

4/5
Ariana tried to find her center as the wind blew a bit harder so did her focus. She didn't show any signs of strain for she wasn't forcing but merely putting effort. Ariana held her arms out with her hands open palm side up and fingers spread feeling the breeze between her fingers. Her eyes looking up at the sky once more then closing as she slowly began to form hollows again. The hollows came out slowly a bit bigger but not nearly as big as they should be.

5/5
Ariana looked at the hollows and they gave an uneasy smile to her while waving. Ariana looked at them tilting her head then she sighed and they poofed away. She still wasnt disturbed but she did want to learn this technique sooner or later how ever long it took. One thing she was sure of is it'd be today, she wasn't ready to give in the day was young with no sign of maturing into night. Ariana closed her eyes again and began to focus in the gentle winds until she finally formed a hollow perfect sized not too big and not to small though it was with no doubt small naturally

Ariana meets a girl who happened to be floating which made her wonder if the girl had a jet dial or something. The girl looked to her and smiled then flew around her. Ariana turned as the girl flew around her and thought it'd be great to do that without a dial so she decided she'd get in on this secret
"Hey how are you flying like that? It'd be really cool if you could teach it to me. I'd appreciate it greatly"
Perona laughed as she flew around Ariana continuously knowing she couldn't teach it since it was a cursed fruit ability.

2/4
"I'd love to teach it to you but this isn't an ordinary technique that anyone can learn. The only reason I can do it is because of my cursed fruit the horo horo no mi that allows my soul to leave my body and go through people. Apparently I gained soul related abilities giving me access to deceased souls and their bodies. I can create ghosts at my disposal. Its gets fun but eh I think I could've got a better one like my captain. He has dark powers which make him realy strong and nearly invisible. WellI ought to be off I'll see ya around."

3/4
Ariana stared with a blank face her eyes wide open and one eye twitching thinking inside her head about
'wow this girl talks so fricken much....when will she shut up? Does her captain actually deal with this? Maybe thats why she's outside and her crew is elsewhere....wait did she just say the horo horo no mi? OH CRAP!!!'
Ariana jumped up and after Perona as she began to fly away and yelled
"Wait wait wait!!! I do have the horo horo no mi fruit I ate it please teach me that move please!!!"

4/4
Perona heard Ariana yell out and looked back at the corner of her eyes wondering if she was serious
"Oh really? Are you serious? I hope so because that'd be great I always wished I had someone to share my techniques with... hmmm you're going to have to prove that you have it before I waste my time for no reason"
Ariana gave Perona a dull stare and created a small hollow in her hand. Perona smiled then began to teach ghost rap.
"Simply snap your finger and your ghost will explode"
Ariana snapped her finger and the ghost exploded.

Looking down the path, Ariana smiles a bit, her body relaxing as she walks up to a women, there eyes meeting in a relaxed tension. The tree's around the forest wave a bit as a soft wind blows in the area. As Ariana reaches the women, she looks her up and down, examining her posture. A soft voice came from the girl, saying,
"Hello, my name is Perona."
She was rather strange looking, but she seamed to be kind enough.
"I am Ariana,"

2/5
Ariana shrugged at the girl, continuing,
"What might you be doing out here Perona?"
Perona grinned a bit, looking down as a small hollow was created.
"I have just finished mastering a skill that allows me to blow up these mini hollows."
She giggled a bit, looking into Ariana's eyes.
"Wanna learn it?"

3/5
Ariana's mouth quickly curled into an even bigger smile, her body almost shaking with excitement.
"I would love to learn such a technique."
A second small hollow appeared out of nowhere, as well as a third. They all ran over to a tree, latching onto a few branches. a few seconds later a loud explosion could be heard, the tree becoming a few pieces of wood on the ground.
"Do you know how to create a mini hollow?"

4/5
Ariana nodded as she created a mini hollow, then a second and third. She looked at Perona,
"How do you explode them?"
Perona looked at her, explaining that she would have to use the ability of the Horo Horo no mi. Ariana slowly makes the hollow bounce forward, making them latch onto a tree. The first hollow exploded as soon as it touched the tree, making a small poof as smoke was all that was created by it. The second one exploded right in front of Ariana, making a small flame that would nearly burn her. she jumped back as the second one exploded, the third one exploding on the tree branch, only to make the branch fall off. Getting up, she looked at Perona.

5/5
"Am I doing something wrong?"
Perona smiled as Ariana was attempting to use the skill. she had started off the same way.
"nope"
Ariana nodded, making another three mini hollows. She slowly made all three walk to the tree, getting them to latch onto the branches she wanted, then made then explode. Two turned to smoke, while the other blew up, making the top half of the tree crack off and fall to the opposite side of the trunk.

Perona Looked at Ariana, smirking a bit. The potential was obvious, so she decided that she would teach Ariana another skill.
"Wow... you did really good for your second try. Ya know, I could teach you another thing or two about how you could make the explosion bigger."
Ariana's eyes opened as she heard it. She was lucky enough to find someone who was willing to teach her more about the skills of the Horo Horo no mi.
"I'd love to learn another technique."

2/7
Perona tensed up a bit, as three mini hollows appeared. After a few moments, they all disappeared in a puff of smoke. A large head appeared from behind the tree that was knocked down by ariana's mini hollow. It was the head of a hollow, but it was much larger then Ariana was used to. Ariana looked over towards Perona, tilting her head.
"Why only one?"
Perona blinked, looking at Ariana.

3/7
"It's too big to create more then one at a time. besides, it is bigger then the three mini hollow's combined. This one is called the Special hollow. It can explode the same as any other, but it is a bit harder to control."
Ariana looked at Perona quizzically. after looking at her for a few moments, she turned and started to make mini hollows. She put them all together, and tried to use the ability of the Horo Horo no mi to make them into one big one.

4/7
Upon starting at her first attempt, one blew up, making the other two detonate into a small ball of fire. Looking at Perona, Ariana sighed.
"This is the same kinda thing as the detonating ones right, just don't make them blow up, make them become one?"
Perona laughed a bit, then nodded at Ariana.
Making another three mini hollows, Ariana looked at Perona, then tried to make the hollows into a single larger hollow once more.

5/7
two of them disappeared, but the third one stay where he was. a single large one, half the size of the one Perona had created, stood in the middle of the opening, looking at Ariana. the small one was right next to it, and combusted within another few seconds. Ariana had tried to add it to the larger one, but she had failed. the larger one diminished with the smaller one as it puffed into smoke from the failure.

6/7
Ariana created another three mini hollow, making them all come together in the same area. this time she made them all disappear, but the large one was still only three quarters the size of Perona's. Perona smiled as she realized that Ariana was pushing herself to learn the techniques. she made her own hollow explode, then looked at Ariana. the explosive force made Ariana's hair flow behind her, little pieces of dirt flying around.

7/7
Ariana looked to perona and smiled slightly seeing Perona's facial expression was rather bizarre from her shock state. Perona then looked to Ariana slowly and put one thumb up her hand constantly shaking and her face flushed even for her ghost form. Ariana created another large hollow and had it flying around then when it was far away it exploded at the snap of her finger tearing up large masses of land and leaving creators and ditches and dirt patches.

Ariana created another special hollow and tried setting it off again with a snap of her of her fingers but nothing occurred and Perona flinched as if she had done something wrong. Ariana noticed this immediately and looked to Perona with a face of concern wondering what was up with her and why the technique didn't ignitiate. Perona looked to Ariana with a guilty face sighing as if she was going to admit a deep dark secret. She walked over to Ariana snapped her fingers setting of the special hollow for Ariana.

2/6
Finally when Perona got up to Ariana she looked to her and decised to confess
"I have been exploding the special hollows for you so you'd feel better "
Ariana was shocked and didnt know why Perona would do something like that in the first place
"Why would you do that? Did you want me to go out there and get killed?"

3/6
Perona sighed then shrugged looking at Ariana with an uneasy smile
"I'm sorry I just thought it was a tough technique and your confidence would be killed"
Ariana crossed her arms and gave Perona a dull stare looking quite serious
"I'm not worried about things like that. If I can't do it I'll try harder"

4/6
Perona sighed again feeling rather guilty wanting to apologize but she wouldnt'
"Okay I'll teach you how to do it. I just figured it was lengthy to learn"
Ariana rose an eyes brow as Perona took a few steps back away from her
"I didn't think you'd wanna stick around to continue learning it since it might be hard"

5/6
Ariana stuck her tongue at Perona and laughed a bit in reply to her comment
"I'm definitely not like that I'm no quitter. trust me I wouldn't quit this"
Perona smiled slightly then formed a special hollow of her own creation
"okay then I guess I should start teaching you the technique then."

6/6
Ariana nodded once and smiled forming a special hollow herself following suit
"Thatd be a great idea. Is this the last technique by any chance?"
Perona nodded in reply wondering why she wanted to know that
"why? AM I that boring?"
Ariana giggled a bit and shook her head
"No I just have a lot to do after this"
Perona nodded then snapped her finger s certain way different from the regular hollow detenation. Ariana did the same snapping her finger and setting off her special hollow
