Then Cindy came up with an idea, a place she hadn't looked for Yasopp at yet...THE YASOPP CAVE! Quickly Cindy rushed through the thick billowing mist towards where the Yasopp cave was located and finally she found herself at the cavern. Heavily she breathed in and out looked down the cavern. Slowly she walked in ever aware that there could be someone other then Yasopp in there. To her luck though Cindy saw him, sitting on a stool with a rifle in his hand and a look on his face which she had never seen before. Slowly Yasopp polished his gun, moving the rag up and down being ever certain to never miss a spot.
Sniper Shot 4/7
The look on his face was a look of despair and angish, one that she had never seen before. “Yasopp, are you alright...?” Cindy asked with a sincere sound of concern in her voice. The room was quiet after that, ackwardly quiet. That is until Yasopp finally spoke up saying “You never told me you were a marine...” Cindy sighed lightly, not sure how the man had managed to aquire this information so fast, but he was a Red Hair afterall so that must mean that he had friends in high places. Cindy didn't quite know how to word this without sounding like a total ditz...
Sniper Shot 5/7
“Yasopp, it's complicated...I needed to figure out the best way of protecting myself and this seemed like the way to do it.” With that Yasopp sighed lightly and lifted up the rifle he was polishing and pointed it at Cindy. Cindy's lip trembled with fear saying “Yasopp! Please, you're making a mistake, I had my own reasons for joining the marines, I still want to be friends with you! You're the one pirate who ever treated me with any sort of respect, please...stop it!” Though it was too late and Yasopp and pulled the trigger. When Cindy heard that bang she could have sworn that her life flahsed before her eyes.....
Sniper Shot 6/7
Cindy realized something shortly after though, and that was that she was still standing without an ounce of pain in her body. She turned around and looked at a dummy that was directly behind her. It had a large bullet hole in it's leg that if delivered to a human would no doubt cripple him. Yasopp broke the ackward silence once again. “Sniper Shot, just hit your opponent in the leg or arm and I promise the will have an awful hard time walking.” Cindy tilted her head to the side saying “But I thought you hated me now, why would you teach me that?” Yasopp, even in his anger managed a chuckle saying “I made a promise.” And with that he was gone. Cindy sighed once again and left the cavern, it was time to explore that island.

Kingsly Atticus Flint landed on Misty Peak. He tied his Lone Man Boat to a rock and headed in a direction where he could hear sword clashes. He found two men fighting. One man whom was unfamiliar to him. And another whose face he refused to forget. Shanks. He ran up and a sword rushed above his head. Shanks must know my motive. He then decided to join the fight. He pulled out his cutlass and began to fight like he remembered fighting. He was sloppy, but it would do. He tries a cut towards the fighting man, a typical pirate cut that all who could call themselves a pirate could do. He remembered this cut but knew he had to relearn it and do it one thousand times better. This is going to take all I got!

Kingsly then missed instantly, but he was glad, for seeing the determination in the strange mans face, he could tell that he just wanted to train. Kingsly then went on to do a better move. He too a few steps to the left and feinted over tot he right to gain better position against Shanks. If there was a time to get better it would be now, I need to train, I need to defeat the Navy! Kingsly then thrusted his sword forward at Shanks. Shanks then parried and repeated the strike towards Kingsly. Kingsly got cut on the right side as he sidestepped. His hair flowing in a graceful movement. Kingsly felt the sting at his side but ignored it, it wasn't anywhere near fatal. So he would survive, but not unscathed.

Kingsly then took a twist the Shanks left flank. His silvery hair was almost whip like in movement, he could feel the air whipping around his slender body like a aggressive caressing of the skin. His side stung from the cold air. He took no heed though, he needed to get better, this is what was important now, this is what he needed to get strong. If comfort was a sacrifice to do so, then so be it. He would take one thousand and one times worse pain to get stronger. Kingsly thrusted with might, fury in his eyes, clouding his judgment. His wound opening a little more, he winced but continued his thrust. He felt blood trickle on his side, a few beads, nothing bad. The blade made contact with flesh. Not a deep wound, but he made it!

Kingsly then took a bow and ran. He forgot. There was someone he needed to find. He took to his boat and sailed to the port.

----- イくぜ！ --Hisao pulled his head back at the last possible moment, the red-haired man's cutlass rising passed the area where the young Swordsman's head had just been. It was right then that he learned how serious this man was. He was ready to kill Hisao without a moment's hesitation. And for what? He still hadn't been able to figure out why this man started attacking him in the first place, and now he was trying his hardest to just not die. He was a Swordsman of no skill, he had no idea of how to use a dagger. Hisao had just bought it so he had something to cut things with.
(Merry Pirate Slashes)
(1/6 posts)
Suddenly, Hisao spotted movement from the corner of his eye and took a step to the side, taking his eyes off the man he would later learn was the infamous Yonkou, Red-Haired Shanks. A new attacker had appeared, and attacked Hisao with a similar attack to the first one Shanks had attacked him with. Out of reflex, the Swordsman moved backwards out of the way of the attack, the blade missing him by a foot or so. Hopping back diagonally so he could get both fighters in his view, Hisao's simple and battle-ready mind was running on overdrive.
(Merry Pirate Slashes)
(2/6 posts)
So many new questions were running through his mind right then as his gray, blind looking, eyes darted back and forth between the two men. That was, until the second man turned his attention on Shanks and leaped at him, trying to attack him now instead of Hisao. The world of piracy is a confusing one... Hisao thought, now wondering who the hell this new guy was. He didn't seem to have a side and would attack anyone near him apparently. This guy was an unstable factor. Luckily, while the man fought against Shanks, Hisao had a chance to catch his breath. He had already began to sweat from the fighting.
(Merry Pirate Slashes)
(3/6 posts)
The fight between Shanks and Kingsly, the man who suddenly arrived in town and began fighting with Hisao and Shanks, was a short one; lasting about five minutes. Attack after attack, Shanks blocked or evaded every single one, demonstrating his mastery with blades. It was an amazing and enlightening thing to view. For some reason, this turned something on inside Hisao. Something he had never felt before. I guess you could call it the will to fight. Something everyone has, but most people suppress it. His had now awakened and he would begin to feel more comfortable with fighting.
(Merry Pirate Slashes)
(4/6 posts)
The fight between the two swordsmen quickly drew to a close, with Kingsly retreating at the end. But before that, Kingsly thrusted his blade forward, all his energy and power imbued into the blade, and actually got a hit on Shanks, although it was extremely shallow. As soon as he cut Shanks, the spontaneous Kingsly ran off to God only knows where. Scratching his chin in confusion, Hisao had his guard down. Catching movement from the corner of his eye again, Hisao instinctively leaped backwards with the dagger in front of him. Shanks followed his retreat, unleashing a series of powerful and violent slashes.
(Merry Pirate Slashes)
(5/6 posts)
The slashes came one after another. Shanks wasn't letting up at all. It required all of Hisao's concentration and strength just to parry the strikes away with his dagger. His entire left hand was beginning to go numb from all the vibrations from the metals clashing into each other. Finally, Shanks stopped the onslaught for a moment. Taking a breath, Hisao stepped forward and began doing the same thing that Shanks had to him mere seconds ago. Of course Shanks was able to easily parry every single strike with his cutlass. After nine or ten aggressive slashes, Hisao stopped the attack and raised the dagger as a miniature shield as he caught his breath.

----- イくぜ！ --Hisao was able to catch his breath for only a moment before Shanks leaped forward, his cutlass held above his head with only his left hand. The Swordsman was very observant and had noticed Red-Hair had only been losing his left hand since the fight started. If he was really trying to kill him, wouldn't he be using both hands? Unless he couldn't use both. These questions would have to wait for their answers, because right now, Hisao was fighting to stay alive. Shanks brought the cutlass crashing into the ground, the Swordsman being there only moments before. Hisao had side-stepped the attack, having seen it before, and stepped forward.

Hisao was really starting to get the hang of this fighting stuff. He was learning something. Everyone had a certain rhythm when they fought, and after watching Shanks attack again and again, he was starting to understand the man's "rhythm". He used this understanding and predicted where the attack would land. After dodging the attack by stepping to Shank's side while he swung down, he aimed his dagger and thrusted it forward at Shank's right side of his torso. Hisao was so sure that the attack had worked. He had planned out the attack and attacked in his blind spot.
(Great Pirate Party)
(2/6 posts)
That was, if the person he was fighting wasn't a Yonkou and a highly skilled Swordsman. Since Hisao was using such a short weapon, his attacking range was extremely short. All Shanks had to do was simply curve his torso away from the blade and dodged it by inches. This left Hisao wide open, and Shanks used this to his advantage. Swinging the blade from his right, he swung it horizontally at Hisao's left side. Holding the dagger by the flat side, he blocked the blade with his right hand supporting the back flat side of the blade. Sparks clashed as the two blades of metal crashed into each other, forcing Hisao back a step.
(Great Pirate Party)
(3/6 posts)
However, Shank's blade didn't stay there. As soon as the two blades connected, Shanks brought it around and performed another horizontal slash, this time aimed at Hisao's right side. If Hisao wasn't a Swords, he probably would have been killed right there. He was used to hearing things and noticing patterns and whatnot when it came to swords. So when Shanks pulled away the sword, he was able to follow the sound of it cutting through the air. Pulling his legs out from under him, Hisao fell on all fours, the blade flying right over his head. Guessing what was coming next, the Swordsman rolled away from from Shanks as a rising vertical slash scratched against the ground where Hisao had just been.
(Great Pirate Party)
(4/6 posts)
Hisao was now on his back now, his arms at his sides and his palms resting on the ground. Shanks had just performed a three attack technique consisting of two horizontal slashes from the right and then left, and then a rising vertical slash. Hisao saw where this was going. Flexing all the muscles in his arms, back, and ab muscles, he pulled his bent legs up over his torso and pushed himself off the ground right before Shank's blade crashed into the ground where the Swordsman had just been. Curled into a tight ball as he flipped backwards, Hisao landed on all fours and launched forward at Shanks.
(Great Pirate Party)
(5/6 posts)
Now it was Hisao's turn to attack. Since he wasn't an actual swordsman, the only techniques he could use in combat was those he was offhandedly learning from Shanks. Switching the dagger to his right hand, he swung it horizontally at Shank's left side. Holding the cutlass sideways, Shanks easily blocked the strike. Continuing the technique, he circled the red-haired man's body and tried attacking from the other side. Again, it was blocked. So Hisao tried again, attacking vertically from below. This time Shanks pinned the dagger into the ground with his foot and cutlass, and then performed a kick aimed at Hisao's head.

----- イくぜ！ --Hisao arched his back backwards, Shank's kick missing by inches, before flipping backwards and landing five feet away from the man. He was panting heavily now. He didn't have the stamina for sword fights. He had the stamina to sit on his a** all day and play his instruments. A kid wasn't cut out for this dangerous life! Using his free hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead, Hisao never took his eyes off this man. He knew he had seen him somewhere, and it was beginning to eat away at the insides of his mind. This was way too dangerous; he needed a way to straighten everything out with this man who was obviously very strong.

At last, Shanks finally spoke. "So the World Government sent a child after me? They're gonna have to do far better than that, lad!" Shanks barked, and charged forward, his cutlass pulled back for a stab. That's when it all finally clicked in in Hisao's head. He was fighting Red-Haired Shanks, one of the four Yonkou with a Bounty of millions of Beli on his head. He must have thought he was an assassin when he was standing near the bar and looking at his newly acquired items. He knew there was a perfectly reasonable explanation for the events that were transpiring. There usually were.

(2/8 posts)
Hisao threw both of his hands forward, his dagger now behind Shanks when he disarmed him, and tried to get Shanks to stop the attack. "You have it all wrong! I'm not from the World Government, and I'm not here to harm you in any way!" Hisao yelped, speaking incredibly fast since he had only moments before Shanks' attack would reach him. He had closed his eyes when he had thrown his arms out, not wanting to see himself get stabbed. After about ten seconds, his frozen body began to have muscle cramps in various parts of his body; mostly in his arms, back, and neck, forcing him to relax.

(3/8 posts)
Slowly opening an eye, he saw Shanks standing inches away from him, his blade down, and simply staring at him, the gears in his head obviously spinning. Shanks just stood there for a moment, pondering on the situation before he suddenly burst out laughing, holding his sides as he did. The booming laugh of his caused Hisao to jump slightly. Gathering his jumbled nerves, he took a deep breath. "You're Red-Hair Shanks, right?" He asked, wondering how faithful his memory actually was. Shanks finished laughing and sheathed his cutlass into it's scabbard before looking back at Hisao, deciding he was not a threat.
(Ultimate Mutilation)
(4/8 posts)
Placing his left hand on his hip, he smirked and nodded. "Aye lad, I am the Yonkou Red-Hair Shanks. Please, just call me Shanks." Shanks explained. The man turned his back to Hisao and walked over to the dagger on the ground, picking it up and wiping the dust off on his pant leg before handing it back to Hisao. The Swordsman took it and was about to sheath it when Shanks grabbed his hand, stopping him. "Wait lad. You could use some training. I could tell you were just copying my movements. You have quite a bit of natural talent, you just don't seem to know how to use it." Shanks asked, offering Hisao some sword training.
(Ultimate Mutilation)
(5/8 posts)
Shaking his head, Hisao admitted he had had training, but lost memories of it when he was a child. Smiling, Shanks nodded and motioned for Hisao to hold his dagger as if he was attacking. Holding the blade in his left hand, he had both feet pointing forward and his right hand at his side. Shaking his head, Shanks walked over to the young Swordsman and moved his body into a proper stance. His left hand still held the blade, but his elbow was bent, and his right hand hovered a foot behind the blade. His left foot was forward and his right was pulled back, with his hips pointed forward. It felt uncomfortable, but Shanks promised he'd get used to it.
(Ultimate Mutilation)
(6/8 posts)
After a few minutes of holding the stance and getting comfortable with it, Shanks said it was time to begin training. "Alright, well, you already learned most of my techniques just from fighting me and copying them. But there are still two more techniques that I can teach you. The first one is called Ultimate Mutilation. You start with a dash towards your opponent, then you unleash a barrage of aggressive slashes, before finishing with a stab." Shanks explained, drawing his cutlass. Leaping forward, Shanks cut the air with six or seven slashes before stabbing the emptiness with his blade.
(Ultimate Mutilation)
(7/8 posts)
Hisao nodded, understanding the gist of the technique. He was still in the fighting stance that Shanks had taught him earlier, so he decided to just perform the technique from that stance. Kicking off the ground his his right foot, he leaped forward, and performed several slashes, aiming at an invisible enemy. The slashes came from every direction, but always aimed towards the center point. The slashes were a bit sloppy, but Shanks could fix that later on. After five slashes, Hisao pulled the blade back and stepped forward, thrusting his dagger into the air in front of him, mimicking Shanks to the best of his abilities.

----- イくぜ！ --Shanks had been analyzing Hisao's movements as he practiced the Ultimate Mutilation technique he had taught him minutes earlier. The technique consisted of a dash forward, followed by a series of aggressive slashes from the Merry Pirate Slashes, and finished with a quick, but powerful stab from the Sword Thrust technique; all the other attacks were previous techniques he had learned from Shanks by imitating him. To think, just ten minutes ago, Shanks was trying to kill the young Swordsman because he thought he was a assassin from the World Government, but he was just at the wrong place at the wrong time.
(Pirate Finale)
(1/10 posts)
Red-Haired Shanks' training would more than likely one day save Hisao's life. He had never been interested in learning how to fight, but something about this man's spirit and personality just inspired him to get stronger. It would be this man that started Hisao "Bushido" Miyamoto's piracy career that would one day make him the most powerful Swordsman to ever roam the seas. And it would all be because of Shanks and his ability to inspire all those that he meets. Hisao hoped that one day, he'd be able to do the same thing with the next generation, but that would be many, many years from now.
(Pirate Finale)
(2/10 posts)
After finishing the technique, Hisao held the dagger in the air for a moment, panting slightly. After learning the final technique, he would need to take a rest, or get something to eat. He needed some energy. Hisao didn't have much stamina compared to such a powerful pirate like Shanks. He was surprised he was able to go on for so long as he had been. But he had never been motivated like this before. It was like there was a fire in his stomach that kept pushing him forward. He had been training with Shanks for about fifteen minutes now, and he figured it would only take another five or so minutes, seeing how there was only one technique left.
(Pirate Finale)
(3/10 posts)
Hisaotook a deep breath and lowered his hand, returning to a casual standing position while wiping the sweat from his forehead with the sleeve of his right arm. Shanks had been watching every movement Hisao made, mentally grading the technique. It was probably a five. Maybe a six. Shanks walked over to Hisaoand threw his arm around his neck. "Listen lad. You're understanding how to perform the techniques well enough, but you aren't putting any effort into your attacks! You need to put some 'umph' into them." Shanks said, taking his arm off Hisao and raised it when he said "umph".
(Pirate Finale)
(4/10 posts)
Shanks finished explaining what Hisao needed to do and began to think to himself, holding his chin with his left hand. While he did this, the Swordsman used this time to catch his breath and think about all the techniques he had been taught by Shanks. Red-Haired Shanks seemed to finish thinking about something and pointed his hand into the air, level to his head. "Alright. Well there's only one technique left to teach you. You understand the basics of the other six techniques; that's essential for my final technique. It's called Pirate Finale, and it's a combination of all the other techniques I've taught you." Shanks explained.
(Pirate Finale)
(5/10 posts)
Shanks decided he would show Hisao a demonstration of Pirate Finale. Drawing his cutlass with only his left hand, he held it forward in a stance that was very similar to the one he had taught Hisao a few minutes ago, minus the right arm being inches behind the left. The young Swordsman hadn't actually seen Shanks' right arm during the entire fight. He had heard rumors that he had lost it protecting some kid, but he didn't know how true those rumors actually were. Maybe they were true; all the signs were pointing to it. That only made Hisao respect the man even more, being willing to sacrifice an arm in order to save someone close to him.
(Pirate Finale)
(6/10 posts)
Shanks then went on to demonstrate the actual technique. Standing in the same stance he had taught Hisao, he started. The first attack was a Pirate Cut combined with a dash. After the quick attack, he performed three Sword Thrusts and followed it up with an uppercut slash. While still in the air, Shanks used his momentum to spin around and perform the Merry Pirate Slashes. As soon as he landed, Shanks dashed forward and performed two horizontal Pirate Cuts, before ending the technique with a powerful Sword Thrust that actually moved the wind with it's force. After finishing the technique, he sheathed his blade and motioned for Hisao to try.
(Pirate Finale)
(7/10 posts)
Hisao had listened as Shanks explained how the last technique worked, already thinking up combinations of his own. He was more focused on Shanks' demonstration of the technique than his explanation of it. It was obvious he had created and perfect every single one of those techniques, since he was able to switch through them all so fluently, without hesitating once. Hisao found it amazing that it almost matched a rhythm. Not like a four-four Common Time rhythm, but just something that seemed to have a solid beat. Shanks was truly a master of blades. Even with a missing arm, he was able to perform such attacks.
(Pirate Finale)
(8/10 posts)
Now it was the young Swordsman's turn to try his hand at the technique. Sinking into the stance he had learned earlier from Shanks, he got ready to try the Pirate Finale himself. His left hand held the dagger and his right hovered right behind his left hand. His hips were pointed forward with his legs shoulder-length apart. His left leg was in front and pointed forward, while his right was back and at a forty-five degree angle. This was the sword fighting stance he had been taught by the Yonkou, Red-Haired Shanks. It was a pretty decent stance, but he still didn't feel very comfortable. Shanks promised he'd get used to it eventually.
(Pirate Finale)
(9/10 posts)
From his fighting stance, Hisao started the final technique like Shanks had. He started out with a Sword Thrust, and as soon as the blade reached it's furthest range, he turned it into n uppercut slash. Once he was in the air, he used his momentum to flip backwards and as soon as he landed, he dashed forward and unleashed several aggressive sashes from the Merry Pirate Slashes. He finished the technique with a powerful Pirate Cut attack. Shanks had been watching the technique and nodded, telling him he didn't do bad. He did suggest that Hisao worked on his spirit a bit, but other than that, he just needed practiced. Hisao thanked Shanks and left Misty Peak to go pick up his weapons.

[YAY! Thank you Samurai-chan!]
Kingsly saw The strange man picking up his items. Kingsly tied his boat to a rock and walked on towards Shanks. "Oi, Shanks!" Kingsly shouted as he ran forward. "I want to re-learn some old techniques. Is that allright?"
"Sure Kingsly," He said smiling. "I know you mastered Pirate Cut and Sword Thrust, so how about Chaos Slash?" Shanks asked.
"Ah yes! I remember that one, vaguely though." Kingsly said, eyebrows up.
(Chaos Slash)
[Posts: 1/5]
Kingsly then got out his cutlass and prepared for training. He walked back to Shanks and observed. Shanks seemed happy to see him again. Long ago they have met. When Kingsly was twelve, Shanks found him drifting along the sea in a Dinghy, and pulled him up onto the ship. Kingsly spent the next five years on that crew. He trained hard with shanks, and learned things about being a captain. He also learned techniques and how to handle a ship, but he eventually left when he was seventeen.
"Well lets get started." Shanks said pulling out his sword and preparing to start.
(Chaos Slash)
[Posts: 2/5]
Shanks then began to flex his arm and soved the sword forward. He did a few rapid succesion jabs with his sword, and then did an upward cut. He made the sword dance through the air, a tinkling noise sounded when he noticed some of his hair was cut. Oh a fight he wants, he thought smiling. Kingsly got into fighting possition. And he sliced forward. His sword clashed with Shanks. Kingsly then felt a power move up against him. Jabs kept thrashing agianst him. He barely could parry the attacks. Then an unexpected move crashed up against him. A uppercut slash. Kingsly fought to dodge it. His shoulder cut open. "Gah!" The wound hurt, but he could handle it.
(Chaos Slash)
[Posts: 3/5]
Kingsly smirked at the attempt on his life. Kingsly laughed at the pain now. He knew that Shanks had not changed one bit since the day he left the crew. Ever since day one of training Shanks went all out. It was either by sheer talent, or sheer luck, maybe possibly a little of both. Kingsly loved how Shanks fought, it had a hint of sarcasm but good humor in each swing. Kingsly fought back trying to get the move right. He kept on being unable to finish the technique. He will never let me do this, but I think I can let me do this technique. Kingsly thought. Kingsly then twisted about, gaining some ground and causing Shanks to stumble a bit. Yes! An opening! Take it!
(Chaos Slash)
[Posts: 4/5]
Kingsly had a flashback to the first time he learned this technique. His overwhelming joy. NO! Don't get distracted! You can do this! You can attack! You can win! Kingsly noticed everything slowed down. He thrusted forward once. Then a second time. A third time, fourth, fifth! And then the Piece De Risistance! The uppercut! He slashed upward with considerable force. A bad hairday! I want to give him a bad hairday! Kingsly laughed as Shanks bangs cut clean off. The read locks floated into the breeze. Shanks fell down and threw his sword to the side.
"Good Job lad," He said smiling a huge grin. "You managed to avenge the hairdays you had in yer youth." They laughed together.

Kingsly and Shanks put their swords down. Sweating a little bit. SHanks had a drop of ale. "Want some?" He asked.
"Nay my old friend. I don't want to get weakened while I'm training with you! You dirty old dog!" Kingsly said laughing.
"A dirty old dog I am lad, What do ye want to learn next me old friend?" Shanks asked taking another swig at his ale.
"How about Merry pirate slashes?" Kingsly asked standing up at full hieght. "I think I'm ready for it."
(Merry Pirate Slashes)
[Posts: 1/6]
Kingsly wanted this technique because he knew this could help him fight better against the tyranny on the world Navy.
He got his cutlass and brushed the sand from his legs. "Now Shanks, will you explain the move Merry Pirate Slashes?"
"Sure lad, Whatever you want!" He said standing up himself. He brushed his damaged bangs from his face and began his
explanation of the move. "First of all what this attack consists of a series of aggressive slashes that are dangerous to the enemy."
(Merry Pirate Slashes)
[Posts: 2/6]
Kingsly watched his friend doing the move repetitively. Kingsly still wasn't used to the one arm thing. He remembered when
Shanks spent whole days trying to retrain himself into the best shape possible with one arm. Kingsly felt proud of him
when he saved that lads life, Shanks was a good pirate. More importantly he was a good man, an inspiration to pirates
everywhere. Shanks slashed the air repetitively, cleaving an invisible enemy with slashes that were very aggressive.
(Merry Pirate Slashes)
[Posts: 3/6]
Kingsly remembered with a smile how he himself used to fight similarly, graceful movements that made a swan look
like a frog in movement. He remembered how his hair used to swoosh about, he rarely lost a hair in battle, but in
his youth he had short hair that was kept like that until he could handle longer hair. He smiled much larger at the
thought that he himself was clumsy. Hw was clumsy again, apparently years in the prison changes him a lot.

[Posts: 4/6]
Kingsly then picked up his cutlass and walked over to Shanks, preparing to fight against him. He remembered
the pattern he must follow to get the attack just right. Slash... Slash... Slash... Slash. But he also needed to
remember the amount of strength required. He then pointed the tip of his cutlass at Shanks, and prepared to fight.
"Ready when you are lad!" Shanks said tapping the tip of he cutlass with his own sword. A small ring sounded.
(Merry Pirate Slashes)
[Posts: 5/6]
Then they fought. The silver haired man clashing with the red haired man. One who fought for justice, attacking his
old master and hoping to win. The swords rang with power against power. Speed against speed. Will verses will.
Kingsly slashed, and slashed, and slashed with more aggressiveness than he ever remembered having. It probably
was the technique Black Beards Will running through him still. Then Kingsly got the move right.
"Good job, now what?" Shanks asked.

Kingsly Atticus Flint and Yonkou Red Haired Shanks started to sweat considerably. They chuckled a bit.
"Well lad, are ye ready to try Great Pirate party?" He asked smiling. Sweat dappled his great brow.
"Aye old friend. I feel well up to doing so," Kingsly said putting down his sword. "But I think you should
demonstrate a bit before I actually try it, it is a very difficult move that may take a little bit for me to get."

Kingsly waited for a good explanation of the technique. He knew it involved many slashes and possibly
an uppercut, be couldn't quite remember how it was supposed to go and what sort of pattern it followed.
"Well first of all lad," Shanks began. "You need to do a quick slash to the left, then to the right, followed by
an uppercut, then one more slash back down. This can take you a little while to get right." He explained.

Kingsly nodded and tried to imagine the movements in his head. They where hard to follow and hard to
remember their specific pattern in order to correctly execute the move. A quick slash to the right? No, to the
left. Then to the right, yeah, that makes sense. Then after that you slashed do- no, up. And finally down.
"Okay I got it!" Kingsly said to Red Haired Shanks. "Now will you demonstrate before I start
trying it on you?" Kingsly asked politely.

Shanks nodded. "Of course lad, I would love to demonstrate it for you, though I believe it will help
if I had something to do it against." Kingsly then looked at the log beside him. He turned it vertical and pushed
it towards Shanks. "How about this?" Kingsly asked smiling like a little boy who felt very proud.
"Yes, lad, that would work very well," Shanks said preparing himself to cleave the wood into many splinters.

Shanks pulled his sword out and sharpened its dulling edge as quickly as his one arm could allow him to do so.
Which was very fast. Seems as if he had been practicing this since the day he saved Luffy. Kingsly watched as
Yonkou Red Haired Shanks slashed the wood in half towards the left. Then into a third by the right. Then into
sixths upwards, and finally twelfths while going downward. The wood seemed suspended. Then it fell.

Then Kingsly got his sword and walked to the now kindling of driftwood. "Now we can fight!"
They clashed. Fighting each other like life and death was at stake. Their breath huffed and puffed like
the wolf in the legend. Clang! Clash! Ching! Kingsly then tried the move on the great pirate captain Shanks.
He was successful, he tore Shanks shirt into shreds. In any normal mach he would have killed the man, but
he wanted to learn more so it would have been ridiculous to kill his old mentor.

A drunk Ben Beckman was laughing and enjoying his time with some of the pirate crew he was drinking with. Ben was sitting down next to the counter about to order another serving of beer. All of a sudden Shō came walking through the bars entrance with his newly bought riffle sliding against the ground while he was holding it at the tip of where the bullet shot from. The entire bar went quite as they all glanced towards the boy that was advancing his way over towards the still drunk Ben. Shō than stopped right behind Ben poking him on the back. Immediately Ben than twisted his body leftwards while grabbing his own Rifle that was on the table in front of him, Ben than attempted to smash his rifle across the boy's face, but it was intercepted by Shō's own rifle being blocked. "Your names Ben Beckman right? You can train me, yeah..." Ben Beckham's eyes slightly narrowed while he began to smile more than was actually should of been. He was drunk, all he saw was an opposing force in front of him trying to show him up. Ben didn't even listen to what Shō was saying since he was really drunk.

Ben Beckham then closed his eyes while tilting his head, all of a sudden Ben's knee would slam straight into the center of Shō's stomach lifting him slightly off his feet. Before Shō's feet could actually touch the floor Ben forced his head forward headbutting the boy backwards, Shō slid across the floor through a couple of chairs till he hit the back of his head against a wall. All the pirates and thieves that were in the room were laughing at the boy. Some threw empty glasses at the wall he was near trying to scare him. Shō's forehead was bleeding which sent some blood down his face, the weirdest thing about the situation was the boy's smile never faded. From when he first entered to now laying against the wall. Ben beckham began to walk forward with his left hand in his pocket, the pirates chanted his name as he closed in on the boy. His eyes piercing downwards at the boy he than begun to grin. "What makes you believe I'd ever train you boy, your doing this all wrong.....get up." Shō slowly leaned to the side but sweeped his foot across Ben's left foot tripping him a little, Ben began to tilt to the side a little surprised by the boys response. While Ben Beckham was leaning to the side about to fall on his left side he got up quickly spiraling his body turning in a full 360 degree spin to slam the end of his rifle against Ben's face. Ben Beckham than closed his eyes grinning even harder as he caught the riffle before it could make contact with his face. Shō had the same grin across his face as Ben as he began to speak. "............If I'm going to become this worlds greatest Gunslinger I need your training, don't underestimate me....yeah." Ben Beckham couldn't help but acknowledge the boy's fierce spirit. He began to sober up but it was time for this boy to realize the position he was in.

Ben Beckman let go of Shō's Rifle while he dropped his own. Shō saw this opportunity than forced his arms back attempting to yet again hit Ben with the back of his rifle. Ben's movement was so fast it sort of seemed as if he was like a blur, most of the pirates around them couldn't even see the attack but Ben gave Shō an incredibly fast jab to the face which was enough to slightly make him lose consciousness. While Shō began to lean forward to fall Ben than grabbed Shō by his blonde hair dragging the boy by his hair towards the exit and threw him out of the bar. He walked back to the boy's rifle and threw it out of the nearby window so it landed outside of the bar next to Shō. "Your thousands of years early to be asking anything of me. Good form, a strong spirit.........but I have no desire to teach you anything." Ben walked back into the bar with that said while everyone was still chanting his name. Shō crawled over to his Rifle grinning slightly while he still was beat up, this was actually all he wanted. He picked his Rifle up strapping it to his back than began to limp away from the bar. Blood was still dripping down from his face but he couldn't stop thinking about how powerful that pirate Ben Beckman actually was.

Kingsly and Shanks were covered in sweat, they panted together, the training was hard and difficult,
but it was good for both him, and the rest of the World Government controlled world. Shanks held out
his hand. "Good job Kingsly, you are learning faster than last time. Either that or I am getting too old!"
Kingsly took the hand and shook it. He looked up into the clouds to see them drifting together. So peaceful.

Kingsly saw out of the corner of his eyes, Yonkou Red Haired Shanks looking up at the sky as well.
"So, you think you can change them?" Shanks asked sincerely. This wasn't the first time he asked this.
"Yes, either that, or kill them all, but I would probably have to die in the attempt." Kinglsy said. Something
told him that he wont be very successful. The clouds darkened. "I think we should go inside" Shanks said.

Kingsly and Shanks suddenly felt heavy drops of rain pouring hard onto them. They got up and got their things.
Kingsly got his Nap Sack and Shanks got his sword and they rand hard towards to the cabins. The beach front
began to break large waves when they reached the cabins. They reached Shanks cabin and went inside. Kingsly
placed his Nap Sack onto the couch and sat down by the fire, they were drenched from head to toe, and laughing.

Kingsly stopped laughing and began to dry out. Shanks got them some warm tea and sat down. "So you want to
relearn Ultimate Mutilation? It is a very, very complicated attack." Shanks said handing Kingsly his tea. Kingsly took
the tea and sipped. "Yeah, of course, I don't care how difficult it is, it will help me, I am ready for this Shanks."
Kingsly replied taking another sip. The rain pounded the windowpanes relentlessly. He laid his back against the wall.

Kingsly looked at Shanks sternly, he wanted to learn this, he needed to. "Well? Will you teach me?" He asked.
"Of course Kingsly me lad." Shanks replied. He looked at him with a smile then. He knew this man would do anything
for him. "But I want you to know, I will teach you the next technique after this. There is no stopping me whatsoever."
They both laughed. Shanks ruffled his own hair. "I hope I don't lose any more. Those missing hairs took me a while to grow."

They finished up their tea, the rain was still pouring like a man on the peak committed a serious sin against
Poseidon god of the earth, Sea, and Storms. Kingsly put down his mug and looked over to Shanks who was drying
his sword. Kingsly did the same and sharpened it a little. Shanks then began to explain the move Ultimate Mutilation.
"You need to do a quick dash forward followed by the Merry Pirate Slashes technique. One final thrust is
delivered after the technique."
(Ultimate Mutilation)
[Posts: 6/8]
Shanks got up and moved the furniture in the cabin to the far edges. He then pulled out his sword. He then made a
dash forward and then did many, many slashes that were frighteningly aggressive. After that he thrusted the sword
forward at an invisible foe. Kingsly clapped at the spectacle. "Now it is time for you to try this technique." Shanks
said sitting down on the floor by the wall. Kingsly stood up and readied his sword. Shanks wanted to just watch, and Kingsly
was going to surprise him.

[Post: 7/8]
Kingsly moved his sword gracefully through the air, it ringing from the air hitting the blade. He made a dash forward and
took a slash to the left, then to the right, then to the left, then down, the down again. He then stabbed forward with his
Cutlass with strong force that would break a log. Kingsly smiled with pride as he turned to Shanks. "Good job Kingsly,"
Shanks said smiling as well. Kingsly sat down next to him and laid his sword against the wall. "Ale?" Kingsly took a gulp.

Screchin followed a wild boar very carefully with his four switch blades one strapped to one leg and another strapped to the other so when he presses the button to make it pop out it would go into the ground it was one foot and stainless. Strapped to his legs too so was his other two but they were on his arms one switch blade on one arm and one on the other.He was ready for anything and was talking to himself. "I can do this! This boar is nothing compared to me!" then he kept motivateing himself spiritually then ran after it. Then Screchin did his special move he is working on.
~"(Flip Slash Roll)"~

The boar got weaker from the cuts but was still strong and moveing and this was not good for Screchin at all.Then he kept on chaseing it for hours on end yelling at it like a mad man as if it is a little boy running away with his stuff."You stnechy little pig! I will get you! Even if it's the first thing I do today! And I am mr. Sea monkey! Hear me? Yea..." Screchin luaghed at the pain but kept running he knew he must learn this move. and kept on running as if he was running from dinosuars in movies but he was the dinosuar. "RAWR! I will get you!" Screchin kept running and running and then disapeared from it's sights.

Screchin poped out of nowhere out of the bushes and got the boar again! Screchin had to do a little jig when this happened but then the boar started to get away!!! "uh huh! I got it it's my birthday! uh oh... Its getting away!" Screchin then followed it to it's feeding ground for hours he followed and talked to himself "heheh this animal is mine! all mine! and I will be victorious! muahhaha!" Screchin hummed to himself happily as he followed it to where it feeds then got ready to attack it again and maybe kill it...

Screchin then talked to himself because he didn't kill it this time either but knew next time he will. "Hmmmmmmmmm...... This creature is stronger then I though haha.... I will kill it and take it for my own bidding as in I will sell it to some butcher or something.... Screchin then hummed to himself and sung a silly song. "Im the sea monkey yea! The sea monkey goes and kills the boars one by one... One by one the sea monkey kills the boars one by one! one by one! ooohh the sea monkey allways kills the boars one by one because he is amzeingness!" Screchin then decided to go and attack.

Screchin then walked home after a long day of training because he was sooo tired.

Joe decided to train to become a swordsman! He just bought a cutlass, and wanted to use it, so he walked over to a few barrels just laying around Misty Peak. "So, how do I use this?" He said quietly. Joes eyes widened. It finally came to him.... JUST SWING IT! He did just that. He rose his sword up and brought it down fast. The next thing he saw was two half's of a barrel sitting next to each other. Yes! He finally learned his first swordsman technique! On to the next!

What could I learn next? Hmmm.... Oh! I know! How about..... Pirate thrust! I saw some one in east blue do that. Okay, so I just have to is lunge forward with a bunch of strength, but its gotta be quick... Joe got himself ready by making his own stance. He held the handle of the sword in fron of him with two hands. "Here we go!" He said quietly, with a smile as he ran towards a barrel. He intended on stabbing right through that barrel! He pulled one of his elbows back and lunged forward. It was a direct hit!
