It was time for the two of them to depart from each other, but not before the girl pointed him in the general direction of another warrior. Noah wanted to learn as much as he could while in Skypiea, because once he began his master plan there would be no turning back. The boy showed him where he could learn moves, from what he called the Great King of Skypiea. Noah thanked him once and for all and the two went separate ways. He wondered how powerful this king could be considering the little girl was mentally powerful.

Noah came across an extremely peaceful looking garden, there was a man, elderly in age but suited in a knights uniform. This must be customary clothes for Skypeians though Noah as he ventured closer. He noticed the man had a large weapon, and he was prepared to battle if needs be. Out of nowhere a giant bird grabbed Noah revealing his position. The old man shouted, "Let him down, it is okay." The bird dropped Noah on to the floor and into the dirt. Noah was confused not knowing who he should attack.

"What are you doing in my home?" asked the man. Noah was speechless he had been caught and was prepared to fight his way out. He did not know the laws of Skypiea but was prepared to do anything to stay away from the Marines. The man pointed his weapon at Noah, leading to Noah's drawing of his weapon. The two began to battle every advancement made by Noah was easily stopped by the man, he was obviously an expect at sword fighting. There was no way Noah could win. "Lets not fight." said the man.

Noah didn't let down, he liked fighting. The man had such skill with a blade that by the end of the battle, Noah had worn himself out so much that he collapsed. Noah hated fighting people like that guy because he always ended up going to his limit. The man helped him up, "My name is Gan Fall. I once ruled Skypiea, I can tell that you're an interesting fellow and for that reason let me show you a thing or two about swords." Noah opened his eyes and looked at the man, "Go ahead."

"You must be able to anticipate your opponent's next move and then combat it with mere rallies until they get tired, then you can make your strike. This is merely a defensive strategy." said Gan Fall as Noah rose to his feet, the two began to battle again until Noah got the hang of it, he was able to stop all of Gan Fall's attacks and even damaged him in the process. It was interesting seeing how others fought and implementing them into his own style. Noah wasn't really into defense however this encounter changed his belief on using defense.

After training with Gan Fall Noah continued to search the street for anyone he believed was strong. Unfortunately people were scare and instead he ended up getting lost again. He was a little messed up from his training with Gan Fall but he was in good enough shape to fight it out if needed. He just so happened to stumble across a man with a strange tattoo on his face, this was not a customary thing for Noah so he took great notice of it. He stopped to see if this man was a fighter, he was young but looked rather angry. Noah thought for a second.

'Should I even approach this guy? He seems weird, then again every guy I've ran into seemed a bit odd but always provides some sort of help. Then again this guy looks real mad, I'm not even sure if he's a Skypiean resident he could be a god damn pirate for all I know, not that that would really matter anyway.' Noah approached him, "Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Noah." The man looked up, "What exactly do you want?" he asked in an irritated tone. Noah pointed to himself not knowing what to say. This guys attitude reminded Noah of how he usually acted.

"Yes you, dumbass." said the man. Noah was shocked this guy had quite the mouth. Noah went in for the attack successfully hitting the guy. Compared to the others he had met, this guy was a mere push over. Noah continued to attack him. When the man was at the brink of death he shouted, "I HAVE A WARRIOR'S WILL, I WILL NOT LOSE!" I seemed as though the man lost all the damage that had been inflicted on him. Noah was shocked, "What are you?" he asked. This was nothing like Noah had ever seen this man's defenses were on par with that of a, well he didn't even know what it was comparable to.

The man rushed towards Noah, "Look kid, I don't have a lot of time. So I'm going to kill you quick" Noah smiled, "You're all talk." he said as he also began to rush towards the man but at a much faster rate. The two met half way both swinging at each other until Noah fell to the floor. This didn't make sense, Noah knew he was strong.
Or was he? He stayed on the floor for a moment thinking how this guy was so durable. He then got up. This guy, it was as though he was a brick wall, his skin was that of a man's but his will was really something else. He had a lot of spirit.

"The Will of the Warrior, eh?" asked Noah as he stood still, "So that's your power, interesting and how long does it last?" The man smiled, "Didn't expect you to find out until after I kicked you off the island, oh well I can still beat you." Noah laughed, "For now I'll just dodge until I find the secret to your technique." Noah began to think, 'When did it start, when did he start to ignore his pain?'
Noah realized now, the secret to this man was his will and it was something that Noah would gain as well. It was all about confidence.

This will, the will of the warrior had kicked in ever since he shouted it aloud. It must be some sort of technique one which either increased the defenses of an opponent or at least helped him stay alive. Noah had to make a last fighting chance. He got up and swung everything that was left in him in one strong punch. It made contact with the man's face, it was at that moment that time seemed to stand still.
Noah could only pray that the hit would work it was his last chance he wanted this guy to feel some pain and for it to stay that way.

The blow finished and the man grinned. It hadn't worked, Noah, this guy was very confident in himself. A moment later that grinning face turned to one of expressionless defeat. The man collapsed, "You must have run out of steam." said Noah, sort of talking to Wiper but not really since he was knocked out contemplating how long the technique actually lasted. The man was knocked out now, Noah would leave while he could before the man could awake. Noah was off to explore the other wonders of this beautiful island.

Noah lurked through Skypeia, he viewed it as a wonderfully painful place. The scenery was beautiful but the fact that all this beauty was hidden from the majority of the world nearly disgusted him. He couldn't help but wonder what he new crew mates were doing specifically if they were safe. He was worried about Kale and Ben possibly fighting. As he contemplated this though he realized that the evil below would just ruin this pure world. Perhaps it was better off this way, separating the two worlds.
It was then that he noticed someone, a woman. It was the first skypeian female he had seen.

He couldn't yet see her face but judging by the body composition it was most probably a female. He approached closer but in a very silent manner. He didn't want to startle her so he kept as quiet as possible.
When he got close enough to actually tap her shoulder he stepped on a branch making a small crack sound which the woman immediately reacted to swiftly turning around and screaming in fright.
Noah didn't know how to react but a moment later he felt a hard smack across his face.

"How DARE YOU!" shouted the woman still very startled. She had obviously gotten scared by the poor attempt made by Noah to communicate with her. Noah's face still hurt, "You skypeian women are strong." said Noah reminding him of his all woman crew. The woman was angry, "My names Noah. Didn't mean to startle you." The woman kept a straight face. She was giving him the cold shoulder. "Whats your problem?" asked Noah insulted by this rude behavior. Noah was usually the ruse one this role reversal was confusing him.
