Whatever it was, it seemed to be working for the strange, quiet loner of a pirate. Rednal exhaled quietly as he finished meditating, and opened his eyes to look at the world around him again. This really was a nice island... he liked it here. Had he not been in possession of his goals, he probably would have decided to stay forever. As it was, though, he was completely intending to head back down eventually. Provided he could figure out exactly how to do it.

Rednal quietly began to move through the area, working to continue to be stealthy. He had a relatively large amount of experience in such things, and knowing how to hide was an intensely useful thing. It allowed you to avoid damage better, which ultimately could prove to be almost insultingly useful in cetain situations. Besides which, he enjoyed the challenge of training this way, and figured it to be a worthwhile endeavor. Couldn't go wrong with playing it safe.

Even if you had set up a trap that was impossible to escape from, unusual things still might happen, so the first priority was to set up an escape route for yourself just in case it was necessary. Only from there could you start plotting to take down your enemies, knowing that if you failed then, you would be able to return and fight even more later on. It was tough to be like that sometimes, but hey, what could you do? Rednal laughed quietly as he continued training.

He was really getting a feel for this sort of thing now. Lightly, almost casually, he continued to focus his mind on the proper methods for sneaking through rough terrain. This was Rednal's style. Some people threw themselves into their training, dedicating themselves mind, body, and soul to it. Rednal had a more irritating way of doing things, almost genius, since he simply chose to learn how to do it and then did. Emotions were unnecessary baggage when training.

The gravity was different this far up in the sky, and Rednal was starting to get used to it. Interesting stuff, gravity... and he was now quite sensitive to it. He chuckled, clearly amused to some small extent, and began to move carefully and get a better feel for this terrain. If he could just study well enough, then he might be able to adapt his movements for use in combat. Fortunately, he thought that was entirely possible, and quite within reach.

As all of his goals tended to be, of course. And if they weren't already within reach, they would be soon. That was Rednal's way of doing things. He believed that very few things were impossible in the end, and that if you were realistic, you could accomplish it. He had absolute faith in his ability to succeed and meet his goals, and soon enough, he'd probably wind up going after pirates and taking them down so they would not bother him anymore.

Pirates were extremely good at annoying people when they wanted to. Fortunately for Rednal, he wasn't just some random villager that could be walked over as if he were unimportant. Rather, he was very likely to be among the most deadly entities of the world soon enough, if he wasn't already. The Yami Yami no Mi was a dangerous fruit, even for Cursed Fruits, since in a way it had dominion over all the other fruits. Truly, a terrifying power.

And it was all his, to do with as he wished. Hmph. What he wanted was to live a peaceful, relaxed life, but he needed to fight before he could obtain that. Maybe it would be a little more appropriate for him to take down a pirate crew or two; there wasn't much they would be able to do against him if they relied on Cursed Fruits, and if they didn't... well, Rednal was enormously talented in deflecting and taking attacks. Better than anyone else, probably.

Which was, quite seriously, an impressive advantage. Some Cursed Fruits made the user hard to hurt (Logia were very well-known for this), others made it easier. Rednal could make the ones that were hard to hurt easy to damage, while simultaneously being very difficult to harm himself. Put together, that was a deadly and violent combination, exactly as he liked it. Rednal wanted to be able to defeat anyone he came up against in combat, no matter what.

But if you didn't train, then you definitely weren't going to win. Hence this solitary training at the top of the world, to better enable him to fight others and achieve victory, not a humiliating defeat. There were those out there who thought that friendship was more important than anything else, and that it would see them through anything. Rednal didn't quite agree with such things... he knew how shallow friendships could be, and didn't trust anything that simple.

You couldn't truly bond with someone you had only just met. You had to stay with them for a long time, fight beside them, and only then could you begin to trust them. When that happened, you were really no longer their friend, but someone more important than that. Shame how some people out there threw their lives away for people they had only just met. It didn't make sense to give up that way. Rednal threw his head back and laughed, loud and long.

Miharu ran to the shandian ground to find the only man able to wield a reject dial, Wiper. He quietly approached Wipers tent holding the reject dial. Wiper was a combination of surprised and angry that somebody was in his tent, but was even more surprised to see a mermen. Miharu approached him holding the reject dial before he finally spoke.
"Please teach me how to use this" Miharu pleaded.

Wiper's faced turned to stone. He rose from his seat and walked straight over to Miharu with a dead serious stare. Wiper's hand suddenly was over the reject dial, pushing it down and away.
"Trust me, you cant handle this dial." Wiper said in a cold tone
Miharu then lifted the reject dial back up quickly.
"Try me..." Miharu said. Wiper was silent for a momment before he silently walked out the tent and as he reached the doorway mumbled.
"You coming?" Miharu then rushed after him.

Rednal let out a heavy sigh. "And I thought it was so nice up here, too..." he grumbled. "Stinking pirates." he glanced over his shoulder towards where someone from the world below was. "Oy!" Rednal called. "I don't suppose you're willing to just go ahead and leave? I kind of liked how it was quiet earlier!"

Ben walked up to Angel Island and came to a small house on the outskirts of the town with a small garden. "Hmm. Hello?" 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 his beard. "You want me to train you huh? Ok then youngster." Gan Fall put his arm over Ben's shoulder and walked him away from the house a little.
