Technique Name: Playing Dead Description: The user plays dead or weakened to lower the opponents guard. The more realistic the situation is, the more realistic the act will be. Post Length: 6 posts
Krix decided this skill should be easy but who knows playing dead could be hard, but as he thought about it it looked harder and harder, the moderating of the breathing, the not moving even to blink, but then again that could be fixed by closing his eyes. "okay lets do this."
1/6
Krix began by laying down and staying still he did this for hours learning to moderate his breathing, which worked after about 7 hours of training, "this is echausting..." he thought to himself, relieved to be done fo rthe day he only wished it could be easier.
2/6
the next day Krix kept doing exactly what he did yesterday, only better, well kinda. he thought so at the very least, he now practised it with his eyes open and in odd or awkward positions, and tried to firgure otu a better wya to breathe in those positions, which all in all would take a lot of work.
3/6
after a few days Krix had mastered breathing and eyes and such he had to do brunt moves to his body to see how it would be if he had all his wind taken out, this was slightly difficult, and painful. but necessary nonetheless. so he continued for hours doign this until he had it perfect.
4/6
Krix laughed at his new abilities, they would certaintly come in handy someday, he hoped at least, he continued practicing it wa s along day and a boring one but layign around was a nice break from other forms of training, which was nice he had nto watched the clouds in years. "this is nice..."
5/6
Krix put packs of blood in certain areas of his clothing to allow it to look even more real, this woudl convince anyone he was head, or at least he thought so. he prscticed ways of releasing them so that they would not be able to tell if it was real or not. which was hard...
6/6
But in justa afew days he had mastered all fo these and more techniques of faking death, hehad becopme a master of death, and would now go out into the world to practice on real people. that would be a nice change. and he was also thinking about taking up the sowrd, but anyways he conmntined to practice justa bit more before deciding it wwas good.

Bontenmaru desided to try learning a fun attack he had seen once or twice before called 'world's strongest kick.' He walked up to a near-by tree and made a strong side kick, putting a fairly large dent in it. "Hmmm, ok this may take a bit" he sai to himself.
World's strongest kick 1/3
He took the stance he felt more comfortable in and readied himself. His foot was a bit sore from the first kick. "Well no one said this would be fun now did they?" He was talking to himself getting ready to attack the tree once more.
World's strongest kick 2/3
He made one more attempt at kicking the tree as he began to sweat and he lifted his leg and threw his kick, it all slowed down. He was now running on bare instincts as his motto was 'your instincts will never let you down.' As he made contact the trunk of the tree gave way and blew an exit wound out the back out it, splintering outward.
World's strongest kick 3/3 -completed

Miki back at misty peak walked back to the bar. She felt she could learn just a few more things from Shank's crew. She slammed the door open with a smile on her face. There was a huge man eating meat. This made Miki think he must be her last teacher. So she went to him.. " Hey! I wanna learn stuff from you~" Lucky Roux blinked at her with his small glass covered eyes. " Eh! Fine!" He said walking out of the bar slowly. Miki was already out there before him and when he was in front of her. He then pulled his gun out shot it at her forehead. A yelped came as Miki made a disgruntled face being hit not by a bullet but, a cork. Technique Name: Diversion Gun Teacher: Lucky Roux Post Length: (1/2) posts
"Just put the cork instead of a bullet and try it out." Lucky said as he nibbled on the meat he had left. Miki nodded and took the cork he had now just given her. All the bullets she had in the pistol were taken out. The cork was perfectly stuck in the gun. For a laugh Miki placed the gun near Lucky's ear and pulled the trigger. The cork slammed right in his ear and he jumped a bit. " Bwhahaha" Then she got a good punch in the head. " Eh! NEXT?!"

" Now, you can go after learning this." He whispered to himself as he rubbed his ear. "Wha-?" Miki said turning her head to him. Lucky did a small jump of the surprise of Miki being right there. he automatically said " Nothing!" The young naive captain smiled at him and then spoke. " Oh good! Now teach me the Lucky smash, Lucky!" She laughed at saying Lucky twice. She found that oddly amusing. Technique Name: Lucky Smash Teacher: Lucky Roux Post Length: (1/3) posts
" Fine.." He said tiredly. Lucky, jumped up in the air which was a sight to see. You could never of thought someone that fat could even get that high. He then lifted his arms in the air with his hands making fist. He soon fell and smashed himself right into the ground. He recovered and got up then walked to the bar to get a quick meal and walk right back out. "Okay! Now do that! Though I doubt your heavy enough!" Lucky said this between his munches and slurps of his meal. Technique Name: Lucky Smash Teacher: Lucky Roux Post Length: (2/3) posts
"Okay!" She yelled with a stomp to the ground. The girl started practicing her jumping and soon rocketed out in the sky. She flung her hands above her head. The hands were balled in fist. Then quickly as she got up Miki fell with a smash. "Whoa! That's great..." She said with a smile even if she looked a bit banged up. " Yeah,..now, that I look at ya. You look a lot stronger. Devil fruit worthy even. Did you know there's some in the south you can get?" He said leaving her and at the bar. Technique Name: Lucky Smash Teacher: Lucky Roux Post Length: (3/3) posts (COMPLETE)

Shinnosuke approached a red haired man that was sitting on a large boulder. The man's light purple hair was swaying side to wide while the wind pass. "Red Haired Shanks! Please, accept me as your pupil and teach me a couple of techniques. I need to become stronger, the new age generation of pirates are rising, I need to be ready for whatever comes my way! Shinnosuke was panting slightly as he finished screaming, shanks than leaped off the boulder coming down towards Shinnosuke fast. Quickly Shinnosuke drew his cutlass and slashed forward blocking Shank's sword away from him, he than used his strength to push Shanks away from him. Shanks smiled pointing towards the young man, he told him that attack he just used was called Pirate Cut.
(Pirate Cut) 1/1

Shinnosuke smirked than continued to follow Shanks forward as Shanks slid backwards on his feet. Shinnosuke ran straight up to shanks throwing a couple of slashes towards him, all of them were blocked with ease as the last slash the young man would slash towards Shanks would be pushed back making Shinnosuke tumble then roll backwards until he smashed straight into a tree which pushed the tree backwards a little. His back smashed the bark slightly off the tree, this Shanks character was much stronger than Shinnosuke could even imagine. This wasn't good but he still had to train with this man so he wasn't planning to back down.
(Sword Thrust) 1/2
Shinnosuke slowly got up coughing slightly, when his head rose Shanks would be right in front of him throwing a stab for his head. Using his instincts Shinnosuke leaned to the right while slashing Shanks a little below his left arm pit. Shanks was surprised, not only was this young man able to learn Pirate cut by himself without Shanks having to tell him but he also learned a move Shanks called Sword Thrust. This young man was something else. Shinnosuke stopped then slowly began walking forward with his cutlass held upward on his shoulder. "So is there anything else you can teach me? Or is that all you've got Mr. Strong Pirate guy." Shanks laughed since he was feeling a little drunk, it was a shame Shinnosuke couldn't tell.

The sky was now a lot more dark than the last couple of hours have been, Shinnosuke started to realize that night was slowly coming upon them. He looked back over towards the red haired man Shanks with great intensity, his burning will screamed for him to fight. "There's no turning back now, I'm asking for your help to become stronger. Whatever you have for me to learning I'll be willing to accept, there's nothing I can criticize." Shanks nodded, he enjoyed seeing this kid's atittude, he was a real pirate that was for sure. He had the spirit of a pirate in him, this must of came from his blood.
(Chaos Slash) -1/5
Shanks walked back over to Shinnosuke patting him on the shoulder while nodding, he knew exactly what the next technique this young man would learn. Although many still didn't know of this, Shanks was a skilled sowrdsman, this man was one of the number one men he always enjoyed fighting with. Because when it came to swordsmanship Shanks wasn't that bad at all. Most confuse his strength for being a devil fruit user, in truth this man Shanks was actually a very good swordsman, and an even stronger fighter. He had pirate blood all in him, he was a true pirate and one of the greatest to say the last. "So Shanks, whats the next technique your going to be teaching me? Is it strong? Shanks than nodded while grinning wide.
2/5
Shinnosuke sat down in front of Shanks as he begun to tell him exactly what he was going to learn next. The technique he was going to learn next was called Chaos Slash. A series of Sword Thrusts followed by an uppercut slash. Wasn't a difficult attack at all, now that Shinnosuke knew this he had a lot more confidence in himself, it was just another sword attack, a series of attacks to be exact. "Uhhh Red Haired Shanks! Can you give me a preview of the attack, I know what its suppose to do but I don't know what it looks like, once I see it I'll be able to learn it a lot easier don'tcha think." Shanks agreed by this young man's comment, he turned to the side looking towards the distance.
3/5
In what seemed like an instant Shanks disappeared reappearing right above the boulder he was first sitting on when Shinnosuke arrived. Spiraling next to the rock Shanks than grabbed his sword making a series of high speed slashes that were way to fast to follow for Shinnosuke s eyes. Shanks continued to fall not reaching the ground yet than made a wide uppercut slash with his sword, once his feet made contact with the ground the large boulder cut in five pieces all falling around the original spot the boulder was in. Shanks slowly rose telling the young man that this was the technique he was going to have to learn.
4/5
Shinnosuke nodded his head, this man Shanks was so incredible. He didn't realize pirate could actually get like this, this man wasn't a bad pirate, but he wasn't also necessarily good. He was just a strong man that sailed the sea's, thinking about this the young man then made a couple of slashes towards a tree and uppercut slashed the tree upwards slashing his cutlass through the tree's bark. It wasn't anywhere close to what Shanks did, but it was awesome. In fact it was enough to be considered learned so Shanks wasn't going to give the kid any stress about learning it. Shinnosuke had learned Chaos Slash.
5/5

How was he able to learn these technqiues so quickly, is being a pirate truly in this boys blood. Shanks thought to himself. Why this hell is he looking at me like that, did I do something wrong. Shinnosuke thought. Shinnosuke put his Cutlass in his sheath. He lowered his guard, now’s my chance to really put a hurting on him. Shanks slashed at him. Shinnosuke shocked did a back flip dodging the attack only by a centimeter. Shinnosuke stumbled and hit his back against a tree. What is with this guy he just won't quit. Shinnosuke thought to himself. "What was that for?" Shinnosuke asked pulling out his Cutlass and griping it tightly.
(Merry Pirate Slashes) 1/6
“You really need to learn about keeping your guard up or you will never get this move down." Shinnosuke’s eyebrows crossed, a new move. “What new move is that?” Shinnosuke asked with curiosity. “Something that will, I mean will take a long time to master.” Shanks answered. He will never pick up this move fast, I am so good. Shanks thought with a smirk in his mouth. “It is called Merry Pirate Slashes, my fellow pirate.” Shanks said doing a little dance. Shinnosuke gave him the strangest look. “What is up with you?” Shanks asked. The night was such a intense area for them to be in, with them about to get into training mode the amazing stars that were in the sky was the perfect background for their training grounds.
2/6
“Don’t ever say that again.” Shinnosukesaid. “What’s the matter?” Shanks asked. “It sounds like your saying a merry pirate slashed your fellow pirate.” Shinnosuke answered. Well when you put it like that it does sound like it, maybe I have to but that in my things to never say book. Shanks thought to himself. “Okay it’s called Merry Pirate Slashes and it is a difficult move to get the hang of.” Shanks said. “Bring it on I can take on anything.” Shinnosuke said confident. Oh, you won’t think so after this, believe me. Shanks thought to himself. Shanks got out his cutlass and so did Shinnosuke, this was going to be a fight.
3/6
Shinnosukeput his Cutlass in his sheath than lowered his hand. What is that kid up to? Shanks thought to himself. “Sorry, I need to make some errands I will be back shortly.” Shinnosuke said as he started to walk off Misty Peak. Shinnosuke than grabbed the hilt of his cutlass. Oh no he doesn’t I haven’t even explained Merry Pirate slashes yet. Shanks thought to himself. “Hey, you are not going any where.” Shanks said as he appeared in front of Shinnosuke. Shinnosuke fell backwards from the shock. “Looks like you feel for my trap, now prepare to meet your maker.” Shinnosuke said taking out his Cutlass.
4/6
Shinnosukes Cutlass was knocked out of his hand and flew and stuck into a tree. “Here before you go I need to explain how the Merry Pirate Slashes works.” Shanks said as he picked Shinnosuke’s cutlass out of the tree. Shinnosuke stood up and glared at Shanks. I can’t believe he saw through my attack. “Well Shinnosuke the entire Merry Pirate Slashes, is nothing but A series of aggressive slashes.” Shanks said “That’s all well, why didn’t you just say so before, I will get this technique down before you can say, a pirate’s life for me.” Shinnosuke said as he took his Cutlass from Shanks. Oh, that’s what this kid thinks. Shanks thought to himself.
5/6
Shanks demonstrated the Merry Pirate Slashes with his pirate cutlass. Shinnosuke than Griped the hilt of his Cutlass prepared to do the Merry Pirate Slashes. “A pirate’s Life for me.” Shanks said really quickly. Shinnosuke shocked from the noise that he fell flat on his face. “What was that for?” Shinnosuke asked angrily holding his face. “You said you will have the Merry Pirate slashes down before I could say a pirate’s life for me.” Shanks said with a chuckle in his throat. “It was an expression you moron.” Shinnosuke shouted getting up off the ground. Shinnosuke than prepared to do the Merry Pirate Slashes again, but this time it was successful. Shanks Flew back and hit a tree. "Well that's enough form me, I need to take a brake from you." Shinnosuke said as he took off running. Leaving Shanks stunned.

After their fight the two had decided to take a good break. After about an hour of resting Shinnosuke stood up. "Yo, Red head, you ready?" Now that he was rested Shinnosuke was ready to train and become stronger. Immediately he took a position with his sword drawn in his right hand with an unaccustomed lightness. Normally he was use to heavier tools. Smirking Shank rose to his feet while drawing his sword and facing Shinnosuke. "OK then, lets party." Dashing forwards Shank delivered a left slash followed by a right. Both were blocked by Shinnosuke but they were strong enough to throw open his guard for a swift uppercut followed by a downwards slash that took of some of Shinnosuke's hair.
(Great Pirate Party) 1/6
Smirking Shinnosuke rose to his feet again before facing Shank's. "Two sideways slashes followed by an uppercut down slash combo... interesting party shanks." Taking a step forward Shinnosuke swung his sword right, then left in an identical combo to Shanks, tho he did not open up the mans defenses. Immediately Shinnosuke threw an uppercut that overextended his body, throwing him off balance and sending him to his but. At this Shanks would let out a loud laugh. It was still night outside so it was hard to see Shanks face clearly, Shinnosuke wasn't going to let this distract him from training and becoming stronger.
2/6
Growling this time Shinnosuke lunged at Shanks with a vicious Right slash followed by a left that sent ringing sounds throughout the air. "Shut up!" Throwing his hand out Shinnosuke's fist slammed in to Shank's sword knocking the man backwards by the shear ferocity of the attack before a downward slash was slammed down across the older man's blade. The strength of the attack made Shinnosuke's hand tingle but he did not care at this point as he was still mad over his sword breaking. Things were looking bad to getting worst, if there was something that Shinnosuke could pull out of his a** to keep him in the game now would be a nice time to pull it out.
3/6
As Shinnosuke saw Shanks smirk he suddenly had a plan. Releasing his sword with his right hand as grabbed the falling blade wit his left in a reverse grip with the blade pointing out the back of his palm. "Twin sword style..." Spinning Shinnosuke delivered a right slash followed by a left before Shank's used his sword to separate Shinnosuke from his, causing the blade to embed itself in the ground. "...rrr" Shinnosuke's eyes narrowed as he glanced towards Shanks location, Shanks returned his glare with a little smile he wasn't intimidated at all.
4/6
"Shanks!" Rolling backwards Shinnosuke grabbed his fallen sword before dashing at Shanks and delivering a left strike. Instead of the right Shinnosuke delivered an uppercut directly, followed by a left slash right slash uppercut downward ax slash combo, each strike ringing off of Shank/s blade. "I swear shanks, I'm going to defeat you and build my ship!" Not letting up Shinnosuke delivered a second Great pirate party, followed by a third. The ferocity of his attacks was scary in deed. A intense amount of wind began to spiral around the two as they battled, things were really heating up. Even Shanks couldn't ignore this young mans potential it was unreal.
5/6
Even with the ffact that he was missing an arm Shanks was still powerfull, using his one arm to block Shinnosuke's strikes, laughing as he did so. "Quit forcing it, you cant force a strong attack. Just let it happen, and it will be powerfu- urk!" At that moment Shinnosuke had slammed his sword on to the hilt of shanks blade throwing it away with the left strike before swinging right, missing by inches. The up and down slash would also miss but the tip of Shinnosuke's sword would rest on Shanks chest. ".... you let me win." It seemed once again the young man that was being trained by Shanks was becoming more powerful as his training progressed.
6/6

"Tell me shanks..." Pressing the sword in to him a little further Shinnosuke ground his teeth. "Why did you let me win! A true pirate never lets himself lose! A true carpenter would never let himself lose!" With ferocity that Shinnosuke had never seen Shanks hit Shinnosuke in the chest before swiping away his cutlass and slashing at the younger man who rolled away at the last second. "Never insult a man like that Shinnosuke. On the sea, you will find people more violent than I am and get yourself killed in an instant." Glaring at Shinnosuke Shanks slowly walked towards him brandishing Shinnosuke's own blade. "Now get up so we can continue."
(Ultimate Mutilation) 1/8
Noting that Shanks had his sword and that Shank's sword was well out of the area of even thinking about retrieving, Shinnosuke did what every good carpenter warrior did... "Time, to improvise shanks." From his spot on the ground Shinnosuke rolled backwards, picking up a rock as the sword came down where he had been sitting a moment earlier. Shinnosuke would then spring up to his foot and launch the rock at shanks, a futile attempt, but the sliced rock would crumble in to dust, making in improvised smoke screen that would allow Shinnosuke to deliver a powerful right hook to Shanks' gut, knocking him back. "Come on shanks, your stronger than this!"
2/8
As he slid backwards Shanks suddenly reversed course, bolting forward and slamming the hilt of the sword in to Shinnosuke's jaw followed by a rapid thrust. This thrust was blocked by the rock in Shinnosuke's hand, pushing it against the side of the blade and forcing it off to the side, leaving one armed shanks open for a spinning kick that was blocked by the red haired man's head. Shinnosuke's kick would be pushed off followed by a side slash followed by Merry Pirate slashes, forcing Shinnosuke to move backwards before skipping of a rock and flipping over the more experienced man. "Finally, the real Shanks."
3/8
Even as Shinnosuke watched shanks completely vanished from sight. 'You have never seen the real shanks in battle.' Those words would sound from behind Shinnosuke and when he turned, nobody was there, but the unmistakable tip of a sword was resting on the nape of his neck as Shanks spoke. "Your letting your guard down. I'm not even at full power and you can't take me. Look around you, react, don't think to avoid my strikes, and then let your body counter." Shinnosuke knew then that with Shanks, even though he trained you, you still battled for your life. "... then don't let up on me again."
4/8
With the words, 'I didn't plan on it,' Shanks dashed at Shinnosuke, delivering a barrage of slashes that forced Shinnosuke to use the rock he picked up and deflect at least half of them and dodge the other half. The thrust however was fast enough that it sliced a good half inch deep gash on Shinnosuke's side, forcing the younger man to retreat. 'I need a weapon' he though as Shanks prepared for another attack. AT that moment Shinnosuke would see the rock that he had used earlier, the larger one that stood almost 3 feet tall. It was a rare type of rock that existed in north blue, one that had great tensile strength and would shear in razor sharp edges. "Slat!"
5/8
Flipping over the sword of Shanks Shinnosuke dashed to the rock and delivered a barrage of punches to the large stone that was created with the compression of thousands of years. As they were on a mountain of sorts it was not uncommon to find slate on the surface like this, though it was not a pure as it would be if it was still underground, for this purpose it would work. With the force of the punches and the amount thrown in rapid succession the rock would begin to shear in fragments, one of these fragments that was almost the length of a large saw Shinnosuke would grab and slam his knee in to the side of the cutting edge, smothering it out so that it would not cut of his fingers as he grabbed his improvised weapon. "Come shanks, now we can party!"
6/8
Noting the other man Unda made the mistake of taking a glance over at him, giving shanks time to close the gap and strike Shinnosuke with ferocious slashes, making Shinnosuke use his improvised saw to counter the strikes, letting sword and stone glance of each other. With precision of a true master Shinnosuke spun around and began his own slicing attacks, pressing offense with his larger, and lighter weapon, the serrated edge more lethal than a sword. Shinnosuke was not going to give Shanks time to recover from his offense, it Shinnosuke wanted to win, he had to press forward.
7/8
With Shanks skill, the older man would be able to push of of Shinnosuke's saw-sword, putting a good 8 meters between the two. A moment later, both men would simultaneously charge each other, shanks slashing with his short, lighting fast slashes, and Shinnosuke with his long draw out powerful shredding strikes. On impact both men would clash weapons, sword and stone bouncing off each other as both slashed furiously and then thrust at the same time, forcing weapons out of both warriors hands. Then, without warning, Shinnosuke and shanks would begin to laugh like old friends.
8/8

Shanks stood on the both halves of the stone that had just been cut by the Cutlass Sword. Shanks nodded towards the power and skill the young man named Shinnosuke had just shown. True power from within the hart and skill form the mind, a mind carved become stronger, he was navigator. Now what would stop such a force? Shanks had no idea and Shinnosuke seemed to be a bit stunned about it himself. Shinnosuke felt on the newly cut surface of the stone. It was warm from the power of splitting. The energy that this stone could give was amazing really. Warmth stored within the stone now was freed. It was all because of Shanks teaching towards Shinnosuke that moved him towards entire new levels of swordsmanship.
Pirate Finale -1/10
Before they continued on doing anything at all, Shanks suggested very politely, friendly and happy if Shinnosuke would enjoy eating with him. "Oi, Shinnosuke, you should know how great meat they have at this place. The beer, the mood and the meat is more or less why we come here to have a good time!" Shinnosuke looked at Shanks for a minute and thought about it. He guessed that it could mean that Shanks had more to give him in the way of the sword but honestly he did not know. "Well I guess a free meal is always appreciated by our kind. A pirate being treated is when his meal will taste the best. The free meal is the best meal for friendship gives food that sparkle."
2/10
Shinnosuke said with a happy voice and laughed back at Shanks as the man nodded a bit. Then they walked into the diner/pub/bar. A tavern could be a good word for it really. Shinnosuke and Shanks sat down at a table and ordered in the special of today. It was always fun to ask for the chefs idea of a meal and allowing him full control of the dinner. Ordering the special without seeing the menu resulted in that and one would have to be brave, because the price could cut you down if one was not ready. Yet angers was the life of a pirate. Everything got so much more of a meaning when danger was involved. That's why the path of the sword was the path Shinnosuke had taken. It was one of the most dangerous ones out at the sea.
3/10
During their wait for the food Shinnosuke and Shanks spoke about all sorts of thing. Well not all sorts of things but things evolving, resulting and rotating around the topic of pirates. It was great fun to listen to the stories of Shanks. A very happy young pirate was often mentioned and one could tell that the one named Luffy was really connected to Shanks and that Shanks was mighty proud of him. Shanks would not be able to hide it in any way. There was no way that when one spoke so highly of a single person that one was proud to know that person. It was clear to think that way in the sparkle of Shank's eyes.
4/10
Yet there wasn't much Shinnosuke asked for he did not need to know. There was no point in finding out information about Shanks past about one person. Hearing random stories was far more pleasing. Shanks had truly been around for some mad events and crazy meetings in his past. If one had not heard similar stories of his grandfather, then Shinnosuke would never have been able to believe Shanks stories but here there was no lies. "So I jumped into the great fish and carved it up from the inside and form there the food storage went form empty to full. Once again I had been able to find a loop hole in sailing."
5/10
Shinnosuke and Shanks both laughed good at the stories so Shinnosuke continued on talking with some that he had heard from his grandfather. "So my grandfather had been swinging across the entire battle to come up behind the marines. Then he used one of the ultimate attacks of the swordsmanship style and cut a deep hole in the main marine ship. Then the old fart had forgotten to tie him to the boat and soon he was swimming for his life to catch up with his own pirate ship. If the other pirates had not seen the giant sword poking up form the sky like crazy my grandfather would have been gone for. Pirates truly need their luck to survive, huh?"
6/10
Shanks and some others laughed hard of the vision in their mind of an old Shinnosuke realizing his mistake and in the heat of a battle try and wave to his crew so that they would pick him up from the drink. Shinnosuke joined into the laughter for this was a story that his grandfather had told him once and everyone could tell that it wasn't one of his brightest appearances. Old man Shinnosuke had been a bit ashamed of what he had done truly but had made it up in the next fight where he jumped aboard a enemy boat and cut down 3 masts before jumping back and his crew escaped.
7/10
Soon the dinner was done and Shinnosuke and Shanks was just sitting there and enjoying their full stomachs. They had stopped sharing stories and was just drinking beer. Shinnosuke then asked straight out, if there was anything more Shanks could teach Shinnosuke and if they maybe could do so before the sun sets. Yet Shanks just looked at him and smiled. "I've got one more thing to teach you but let us wait until the sun gives a more orange light for it's so much more beautiful then on the normal day or night." Shanks nodded to his own statement to perhaps give it more strength. Not that it was needed for Shinnosuke had no arguments with it.
8/10
After enough waiting both men left the tavern and looked at the sun. "It's truly beautiful, wouldn't you say Shinnosuke?" Shanks asked as he took out his blade and Shinnosuke looked towards the sun's general direction and nodded. "It truly is a great view but please. Tell me what you will learn me!" Shanks laughed a bit at Shinnosukes impatience. This young boy wanted to learn and move on. A bit to much to short perhaps but it seemed that maybe the boy could handle it. "Let me show you how you will combine all techniques that You've learned this day. One have to combine the thrusts and the slashes into this great dance that will take over everything in the end. Here follow me!"
9/10
Shinnosuke followed with Shanks for a moment and tried to combine the various skills but in the beginning he was combining the wrong combination and it went into a failed attack instead. Yet Shanks was a patient man and Shinnosuke controlled his mind so that he could focus and so it all came much more clearer. After a while, after the sun had already set and the stars where out, Shinnosuke made it the first time. Yet the problem as that the last attack had tilted a crate which had resulted in rum bottles falling to the ground and rum split. Soon Shinnosuke stood in front an opponent and was ready to fight. He found an opening with a thrust and soon the used the Pirate Finale and won the fight simple. With the last words between Shanks, the pirates and Shinnosuke, the boy left towards the port.
10/10

Even though this place was seeming to be a normal area, Daichi had started to wonder about what other potential techniques he could learn. He was going to have to start out small, and because of the potential he had, he was going to have no choice but to move on quickly so things could go on a she had planned. Lucky Roux had a grin on his face as Daichi had entered the area as he was starting to smile a bit more. "Well now..." Daichi started as he looked over to see Lucky Roux also noticing as he was walking up to Daichi, He gave a little smile to Roux as he took out his rifle. "I take it that you're the one who gave me this cork thing?" Daichi asked as Roux gave a little grin and a nod. "Yup, that one's me. Just put it on your gun and use it to shoot. It's what I call a Diversion gun, it's a good move you can use as a fiversion, kid."
1/2 Diversion Gun
Daichi was beginning to see how much sense it made to be able to use the cork thing right, and he began to smirk a bit at how easy this seemed to be. He pulled the trigger a few times, and instead of getting the lethal bullet, he just found the cork popping out as Daichi had some more of this going on. "Seems to be a fun action to do." he said smiling some more as he was starting to crack his neck. Taking his rifle and popping the cork as he fired it. "Wow, that seems like a really awesome move when it's needed." he said smiling some more. He began to look around for more proof on the techniques, but Lucky just grinned at Daichi some. "Why're you leaving? I have one more thing you can learn." he said smirking.

"So you said that you have one more move yo try on me and have my learn?" he asked Lucky as he started to wonde ron what else this fat man could teach him. Lucky grinned some as he took his arms and then slammed the two over Daichi when Lucky Jumped. Daichi's eyes widened as he saw that Lucky had some intent to cause him harm as his heart raced looking at him. "Are you nuts!?" Daichi shouted at Lucky with a bit of anger in his voice as his heart raced. He knew how serious this may have gotten while Daichi;s heart started to pump in blood faster than Daichi had expected. "It's called Lucky Smash, kid." he said with a curt grin which was slowly melting a way and shifting into a smile.
Lucky Smash 1/3
Daichi was beginning to ponder on what exactly Lucky tried to do. Whether or not it was just a way to teach Daichi something, it caused his heart to race still, as in Daichi's full anger he decided on taking the next maneuver as he was starting to repeat the attack as he slammed his hands on the ground as he took the force and the whole began to slam his hand down with a powerful smashing ability. "Wow, that's some kind of good move." he said as he looked towards lucky some. "What is it you're trying to do?"Lucky asking him as Daichi then began to look again at his own ability from it. "Looks extremely good now." he said as he looked at Lucky some. Though I wonder on how it should work on you?" Daichi said to Lucky.
Lucky Smash 2/3
Lucky just laughed as he began to point a finger at Daichi tauntingly. "Yeah right, kid! You seriously think that you can cause me some harm!" he shouted as he was showing off an extreme part of anger on his part. "Don't even try to use it on me." Lucky said. "It won't harm me at all-" he was interrupted as Daichi slammed his hands together on his own Lucky smash on top of Roux as Lucky went down with a blow as he was face down as soon as that ended. Daichi began to cackle and laugh greatly as he was letting his rifle wing into his hand. "Now..what else should I learn while I'm around here?" he asked some bird. Though of course the bird couldn't understand him and Vice-versa, so Daichi just shrugged and he was beginning to wander around to find Yassopp.

As Daichi continued his small journey to get towards the legendary sniper Yassop, Daichi began to take out his rifle as he was polishing it some as he was beginning to wonder on who exactly he would be learning from this time. He started to grin some more as he started to crack his neck and aimed his rifle towards a figure that see,ed to draw more attention than expected. Yassop was staring right at him with a grin as Daichi kept his rifle pointed towards him. "Legendary Sniper Yassop I see." he said now beginning to move around as Yassop laughed. "Well now, I see you've come around to learn from me I bet. Though I wonder if I should be wasting some time with chit chat Daichi, let's start.
3 Bullet Combo 1/4
Yassop grinned some as he was beginning to take out his own rifle and he pointed a hand to a tree. "We'll practice there so you can get a better ease on this." he stated to Daichi as he took a rifle in his hands as he began to grin some more now as his rifle easily fired out three bullets without any kind of difficulty. "Three shot combo. You just shoot an opponent three times and it's that easy." he said grinning as he then shot the combo again. "It isn't that hard at all, but you never know where your profession can truly lie until you're done with it. Yassop said. He took his rifle up again and looked at Daichi. "You try." he said with a very deep grin on his own face.
3 Bullet Combo 2/4
Daichi just tilted his head towards Yassop as he took his rifle and loaded it within the rounds of the rifle and wondered just what else was possibly from this strange looking man. Of course Daichi had no doubts at all about his abilities because Yassop was a legendary Sniper after all. SO Yassop would know what he was talking about when he spoke about the usage or a ranged weapon. Daichi then took his rifle and he slowly aimed at the tree. It was getting much better for this to happen as he looked through the iron sights of the rifle and he fired in three shots that easily went into a natural hole in the tree. Daichi was continuing to make these quick shops as he began to smirk some while beginning to give more accurate and quicker three shot combo against the tree.
3 Bullet Combo 3/4
Yassop began to grin a bit as he started to giev a more generous smile as Daichi was continuing to prove he could perform a successful combination of the three shot combo. He was even chaining it some more to prove his excellence in the use of the gun. "Still have more to learn, I know that." he said as he looked at his rifle some more. He was beginning to smile deeply then starting to take a few more steps towards what he was going to call a very good lesson. Now he was beginning to smile some more as he started to cough up a little from some of the dry air that was around. He didn't want any of this to escape his mind for even a second as he started to grin some more.

Yassop began to give a grin to Daichi realizing he was still wanting to go on with this even with how exhausting it could be for the poor kid. But he was going to enjoy this better than expected because this kis kid seemed much more willing to learn than before. As he was starting to grin even more, he began to look around to make sure Daichi was still okay "Well now. You seemed to enjoy that one." he said smiling. "You just get five bullets and put them in the rifle for the next move." he started to smile some more as he began to take a few more steps as his rifle was still aimed. "Well, while you practice some shots before the five-shot combo, why not tell me a little about yourself kid..." he said as if expecting him to talk.
5 Bullet Combo 1/5
Daichi just went on to explain a bit about his past. But instead of explaining the whole thing, he just weet and told him some basics. The problem of that year, was that oil had been found underneath the house they lived in. After several disputes, the Navy had appeared at the home, raided it, burnt it down, and took all the oil, and Daichi's siblings. Daichi had awoken hours later and unmoved. Cutting his way out of the debris., he saw only one strange blade around his location. Beginning to take a small interest in what was going on, he began to practice with the sword like he had when he was younger. a deep determination to be strong was born inside him and he carefully left out to seek his siblings, and two things that would make his goal possible. "I have a very harsh life." he said taking a shot out of the tree with a good five shot combo.
5 Bullet combo 2/5
Yassop was a bit surprised someone would go around and actually go through that kid of misfortune and still seem to be very calm about it. He was starting to smile a bit more now starting crack his neck. "You did a good job on that combo. But you should still be trying to go around some more as he began to smile a bit. He had figured this was one of the best things he could do was help someone who would be traveling across the whole planet to try and find his siblings. "A guy like that's got heart..." he mumbled while Yassop was beginning to look around some more over to Daichi. "So now...what is it you'd want to try? Continue on the main shots, or just give up and such? Yassop asked him.
5 Bullet combo 3/5
Daichi was beginning to grin a bit more as he was taking some steps forward to the tree. "I'd rather die than ever think of giving up in a fight." he said as he began to grin a bit more and then he started to laugh as he was thinking about what else he could try. He was being very frequent in his shots, Seeming to not even think about stopping on it as he continued to execute successful five shot combos. The tree was getting a large hole going through it as Daichi continued his powerful assault on the tree. "I'll make that tree a pile of sawdust by the time I'm done with it." Daichi said continuing to move on as he started to make a few more movements to make sure he'd stay alive. He was acting as if this was an actual fight.
5 Bullet Combo 4/5
Yassop started to ponder about what else Daichi was trying to shoot for in his goals. He began to crack his neck a bit seeing as Daichi was doing fine with his own goals. "Well, I have about two more moves if you want to learn them. They take some effort, but it's fine." he said with a grin on his face. "I'd teach you an extra two, but you seem to be more of a swordsman type after all. My main techniques go to snipers." he said smiling as he was beginning to set his rifle down some. He was deciding on making a small break. Daichi was seeming to be looking into the past when he needed to get his mind set on now. Yassop started to smirk a bit as he tossed a bag of bullets at Daichi's head.
