They all laughed and joked. They had one, why not have beer they thought. As they were about to enter the bar Isshin thanked them and told him that he needed to be on his way, his thirst for adventure was killing him. He told them that next time he sees them he would be in a crew of his own, winning his own fights at that too. They all thanked Ishsin for the assistance in their fight. Isshin smiled and waved good-bye. The Red-Haired Pirates enetered the bar laughing and joking about like close friends. Isshin then quickly remembered his order he put in for his Barber Razors, he quickly jogged to The Forging Pot.

When he could finally get the swinging down he started practicing on a dummy each time trying to get a shot in. Each time he either missed or the rifle got jammed. Sitting down exhausted Ben handed something to drink. Malik didn't know what it was but it renewed his energy quickly. Picking up the rifle he went back to hitting the dummy and each time tried to get a shot off into the arm or leg of the dummy.
[Whirlwind Smash 4/7]
It took him awhile but he finally could get the extra shot in but at that exact same time Malik and Ben were attacked by marines. Caught off guard Malik was beaten to the ground only to be saved by Ben who was doing a mixture of Rifle Blasts , and Whirlwind Smashes. When all the amrine were dead except for the one tied up to the post Ben helped Malik up.
[Whirlwind Smash 5/7]
"That was interesting."Ben said as he piled up the dead bodies of the marines against the man he had recently killed."Remeber that you always most be ready for an attack."he added sitting down agia, Giving Malik some more of that mystery drink."Okay now try out the Whirlwind Smash on that marine now don't hold back."He said pointing to the marine on the post.

Not wanting to disappoint Ben Malik charged the marine holding nothing back. When he was in attacking distance he went into a wild frenzy of swings hit the with so much force he broke the post the marine was tied to.
With the marine in mid air Malik hired of a shoot form his rifle hitting the marine in the arm. Turing around to face Ben the marine crashed to the ground dead."Thanks."Malik said , as he walked past Ben to leave the mountain. Ben waved him off before walking back into the bar to tell his mates about Malik.

Having exerted so much energy on one big technique, Ral was now breathing heavily. He had slowly begun to pick himself up from the ground, but had leaned on a knee as he caught his breath. As he did so, he could hear the sound of a person clapping off to his side. Upon looking to see where it had come from, he found Lucky Roux. The chubby man had been one of the more well known members of Shanks's crew. "Not bad kid. By the looks of the way you just dropped that guy, it seems like you're pretty strong." Ral stood up right, now turning his his attention to Lucky who began to speak once more. "And it seems like the guy still has some life left in him."
Luck Smash 1/3
Luck lifted a finger to point to the man who Ral had knocked to the ground just before. Ral took another look at the man's body, which to him looked as if the man had been knocked unconscious with the attack he'd performed not to long ago. He raised a brow as he looked back at Lucky. "Oi, what do you mean? I'm sure that my last attack took him out for sure." Shaking his head in disagreement, took a step closer to the man. "Guess you don't see him faking defeat. I'll show you something that should get him back up then." After grinning, Lucky would jump high up into the air, his large body casing a large shadow that covered the small area around the man's body. While still in midair, Lucky would grab hands tightly together as he came down upon the man from above. "Lucky Smash!"
Lucky Smash 2/3
Upon the attack making contact with something, there was a large cloud of dust and debris sent into the air to cover both Luck and the man, leaving Ral uncertain as to what his attack had hit exactly. Upon the dust clearing, he would find Luck's fists within a small crater in the ground with the man now on his feet within a safe distance from the attack. Ral let out a sigh of dis may as he took a deep breath, finally regaining his composure. "So you were right. I'll be sure to end it this time for sure." Ral would suddenly dash forward towards the man surprising speed and just as he reached the area a few inched away from where he stood, he quickly jumped up high above his target while placing his fists together, before finally spinning his body downward to gain more momentum to smash his hands down onto the man's head like a hammer. The blow would this time hit the target with full force, now causing his skull to hit his brain and give him a concussion that would only worsen as he hit the ground hard.
Lucky Smash 3/3

 Kale finally received her new gun, and strapped it to her thigh. She figured now was as good a time as ever to find someone to train her in the ways of a gun. She sighed, and headed away. She remembered Shanks from a long time ago, and vaguely remembered that he had a crew. She arrived, and questioned; and was told that she could be taught. & So it was. The two faced off, looking at each other. Kale giving the man a sweet smile, though he tried to ignore it. "Ready?" He questioned her, and she nodded. "Yeah -- I think I get what you are saying. She laughed a bit. {1/2; Diversion Gun} Kale aimed her gun, and looked to him. She couldn't get over the simplicity; and...uselessness of this move. However, it wasn't her to judge and she was getting something out of it, so she might as well get on with it. She shot it, and a cork came out. He laughed, Lucky seemed pleasant enough. Kale smiled. "That was simple." She told him. "Gun's really aren't rocket science." He said looking over Kale again. "I'll go get Yasopp, and he'll help you learn more ways of the gun." He waved his hand at her. "Oi, Yasopp!" He called. "Come down here and help this girl." {2/2; Diversion Gun}

Yasopp came down and smiled at Kale. "Hey!" Kale smiled sweetly at him. "What do you need?" He questioned her, he looked kind of drunken. "Some gun lessons." She smiled holding up her gun. He took it and looked over it. "Cute." He hicced and nodded. "Okay!" He replied and punched the air. "We can do that then." He nodded his head. "We'll start you off, nice and slow -- and you can learn 3 bullet combo." He told her, and held out her gun. "You aim, 3 shots." He paused. "You know, Bam Bam Bam!" He announced. Kale decided in this mere second, that this man. {1/4; 3 Bullet Combo} This, Yasopp; Was Pure Awesome. He looked to her and Kale nodded her head and took the gun. He looked around a momement. "We need something for you to shoot." He murmured under his breath and looked around. He kept a eye out; but his always seemed to land back on Kale. "Kale are you keeping an eyeout?" He questioned her. Kale glanced back at him and nodded. "Yes Sir!" She announced and peered. She didn't see anything, though. She kept a close eye out, and jumped when the man yelled. "Aha!" Kale rushed over to him. "What is it?" She questioned him, peering over his shoulder. {2/4; 3 Bullet Combo} "Rare, Albino...Squirrel." He said pointing in the distance. To Kale it just looked like a normal squirrel, but she didn't question him or his logic. He grabbed her hand, and rushed with her straight towards it. Kale giggled, trying to keep her voice down. This man was so strange, but completely and utterly worth it. He stopped and pointed. "Okay Kale." He whispered into her ear. "I want you to shoot that Squirrel." Kale paused a moment, but pulled Kiss out of it's holster and pointed it at the squirrel. She was a little nervous, being the first time she would fire a real gun. {3/4; 3 Bullet Combo} Yasopp must have noticed her worry, so he moved behind her, and wrapped his hand around hers. He steadied her hand, and murmued into her ear about keeping still, and aiming. Kale nodded her head slowly, and took aim at the squirrel who had no idea that they were there, and about to shoot it. Yasopp coaxed Kale, "Okay." He began close to her. "Slowly pull on the trigger." Kale nodded her head and began. "And then, go." He told her. He still kept Kale still, and Kale let off 3 shots, aimed directly at the squirrel. It was shocking, and the moment all three hit, Kale cheered. {4/4; 3 Bullet Combo}

"Great!" He cheered with her, doing a tiny little jig. "Now!" He announced, puffing out with his all importance, looking to Kale; whose eyes widened with obvious excitement. "We're going to try, a 5 bullet combo." He told her. She tossed him the gun, when he made a signal for it. He automatically took an awesome stance, and pointed the gun at the tree. "So it's going to be a bit faster, and with more shots. BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM!" He feigned shooting the gun, and the kickback that might be received from it. Kale's eyes widened, this man obviously knew what he was doing. {1/5; 5 Bullet Combo} Kale nodded her head. "We need something else to shoot." He murmured noticing the now very dead, Rare Albino Squirrel. Kale nodded her head. "Like what this time boss?" She questioned him. "How about a bird?" He told her, pointing to a pair of birds circling over their head. Obviously the dead squirrel was some kind of wanton appetizer for them. Stupid birds, and their disgusting eating habits. Kale grinned. "Should I hit both?" She turned to look and question Yasopp. "No No, leave one. You're going to need it." He told her, patting her head like she was a child. {2/5; 5 Bullet Combo} Kale didn't seem to mind, infact it seemed like it excited her. She nodded her head and looked up at the birds. Yasopp again, came up behind her, this time he handed her the gun and changed the position in which she held it this time. "Isn't that more comfortable?" He questioned her. Kale nodded her head, it was much more comfortable this time. He didn't hold her hand so closely this time, instead he opted for her wrist, helping her keep her aim steady as she pointed the weapon up at the circling birds. "Now, Kale." He told her slowly. "See the spot on the right one's bill." He questioned. {4/5; 5 Bullet Combo} "Yes," She replied thoughtfully. "You're going to aim for that." He told her seriously. "When you shoot a gun, precision isn't an option." Kale pondered. "It's a requirement." He finished. "Do you understand that?" He questioned her. She nodded her head. "I got it." She said simply. "Very good." He told her. "It's going to be a needed thing. Remember, that when you aim to shoot." He swallowed. "You...Aim to kill." He added, for a moment it seemed he almost regret that, but she nodded again. "Got it." She replied again. "Now shoot." He told her. She aimed at the spot, following it. Then she took the shot. 5 Bullets, 2 hit. Only 1 was needed. The bird fell. The other 3 shots, flying away. {5/5; 5 Bullet Combo}

"That was pretty amazing, Kale." He told her, turning to look over her. "You sure, you're not a marksman?" He questioned her. She shook her head. "I'm a chef." She smiled pleasantly at him. "You have any food?" He questioned her, rubbing his tummy. "All this work." He groaned, feigning starving. "Is making me so hungry!" He groaned, falling to the ground. "Look at me, I'm withering away to nothing!" He called pathetically. Kale stared at him, and began o laugh. "Oh my, you need food right now!" She shouted. "Yes, Kale.." He groaned. "I doooo." He moaned. {1/6; 10 Bullet Combo} Kale dropped her bag, and put her gun in it's holster on her thigh, and pulled out some ingredients, including her special spice she had been working on. She thought a moment and then quickly got to work, looking over at him as he rolled out in withering dispair. "It's all going dark!" He called out, coughing. Kale tried not to laugh at the show he was putting on, though it was so hard not too. She pulled out a few more things, including some alcohol that she had in tiny little bottles. She poured some of the beer on the meat she was preparing quickly. She had no idea, what this had to do with training. {2/6; 10 Bullet Combo} She finished up, moments later -- plating the meat she had made quickly. She sprinkled a tiny bit more of her spice onto the top, and decorated it, with some sizzled onions. "Here!" She announced. He jumped up, and quickly went at the food. Pausing after the first bite; Kale almost panicing. "Bracisss the 10 combo" He told her, his mouth full with the food. Then went back to it. Kale nodded her head, and looked up. There was another, 3 bird circling with the second bird. She glared. They had come for her delicious food. She pulled her gun out, and looked up. {3/6; 10 Bullet Combo} She took aim at the 2 birds, she wondered -- with 10 shots, if she could kill 2 birds at the same time? She glanced back to Yasopp who was still stuffing his mouth, making moaning noises. It seemed to her, he was in heaven while eating the meal she had prepared him. That brought a bright smile to her face. She was glad that he enjoyed it. Now, back to the task at hand. She looked back up at the two birds and took aim again. She imagined the kickback from the 10 shots in a row, and pushed one foot back a tiny bit, to steady herself. She licked her lips, and closed one eye. {4/6; 10 Bullet Combo} Yasopp watched her, she was learning. He liked that, but what he liked more was this delicious food. He couldn't put his finger on it -- but there was something completely special about the food and what was on it. He wanted to know, there was like a special spice on it or something. There had to be. Kale finally finished preparing and took the shot. Having steadied herself, stopped any kickback problems. 10 shots, fired off. Mid way, after the first 5, she had moved the gun just an inch, already having studied the birds moving patterns, and hit both. {5/6; 10 Bullet Combo} If the food hadn't been as delicious, his mouth might have dropped open. Both of the birds fell out of the sky, and Kale grinned proudly at herself. "Yeah!" She cheered and turned to look at Yasopp who had finally finished the whole plate. He coughed a bit. "That was amazing!" He told her clapping his hands. "How did you managed?" He questioned without moving the gun so much?" He questioned her. "I studied their flight pattern, and the time it took them for a rotation, before I took the shot." She told him. He stared at her a moment. He liked a girl that was smart! {6/6; 10 Bullet Combo}

"Well my dear, it seems that you're ultimately ready for the final thing I can teach you." He told her, and a pouty look came to her lips. She didn't want to have to say goodbye already, oh well. He laughed. "You can visit us, any time." He winked, reminding her of what Shanks had said the first time they had met. She sighed softly. "Kay!" She nodded her her head. "So, what am I going to learn now?" She questioned him with serious interest. Was it going to be some awesome kind of move, or what? She bit her lip, eagarly awaiting his response. First, a chuckle. {1/9; Bullet Barrage} And then the answer she was waiting on. "It's a Barrage of Bullets." He told her simply. "100 being fired at one time. You think a fragile flower like you can handle that?" He questioned her, and she looked towards him. "Oh fragile flower?" She laughed, "You just lost your dessert privileges!" She told him. He face fell and he whined. "Noo, I'm sorry." He murmured, and leapt on her. "Pleasee...Dessert." He begged. She laughed and pushed at him gently, "Yes, I'll make you dessert. Load the gun." She told him, with a wave of her hand. He looked like a child as he moved. {2/9; Bullet Barrage} He went to the gun, loading it quickly with deft fingers, murming something about the delicous dessert he was about to intake; and he could already taste it. Kale watched him from the corner of her eyes, as she pulled together a quick dessert. He had mulled over it while she had made him lunch. Something, that went well with what she'd made him? She paused and gathered some chocolate, and chopped it up fine, and put it in a bowl. Then she breathed a quick bit of fire over the bottom of the bowl, pouring some milk in, and mixing the already melting chocolate. {3/9; Bullet Barrage} Yasopp was hovering over her now, watching with enthusiasm. "Go and sit down!" She demanded of him; laughing slightly. Blowing him a kiss. Kale then turned back to the bowl, and added two egg whites, and some sugar and began to beat it, until it became a light brown mousse. She smiled pleasantly, and poured the pouf mixture into a bowl, and drizzled some chocolate shavings ontop. She looked at it, and dipped her pinky into the mixing bowl to taste, and quickly chopped a strawberry, and a piece of mint and added it. She held it out, and Yasopp switched it with the gun. {4/9; Bullet Barrage} Kale took the gun, and looked to Yasopp who was already digging into the chocolate, looking like a child. His eyes were large and the spoon was quickly moving back and forth from the bowl to his mouth, and back. She laughed and turned to the gun. 100 bullets? She took a breath, she wondered what the kickback on this was going to be like. She imagined what the kickback of the first couple of gun shots was like. It was fluid, and rather expected -- but there wasn't nearly as much firepower behind those as there was with these. {5/9; Bullet Barrage} She finally decided how much kickback she thought she was going to get, and steeled herself. Glancing back to Yasopp; who had slowed down, and was watching her while he sucked on a full spoon of the mousse. Kale gave him a reassuring smile and turned back to her front, and aimed the gun at a tree, that was a little more than a yard away. She took a breath, and held the gun out in front of her, and closed one eye, taking better aim. Yasopp watched her with baited breath, was she aiming for that tree? He was still worried about her being able to handle 100 bullets. {6/9; Bullet Barrage} Kale took a breath, and then began -- firing off the 100 bullets. She was steady, and thus the kickback was no problem for the tough young girl to handle. Yasopp watched her with amazement. The hundred bullets, shot off towards the tree -- and it was almost as if they were in slow motion; Yasopp's eyes widened the bullets were careening, almost like her whip would towards the tree, and not in a straight normal line. Kale watched as they hit the tree, digging in and leaving bullet holes in the bark, and buff of the tree. {7/9; Bullet Barrage} "I've never seen the bullets do that before." He murmured. Having finished the dessert, but seemed to be having some kind of inner turmoil about the loss of the delicious chocolaty goodness. Kale looked over him, "I don't understand." She replied seriously. "They curved, almost like they were a whip connected to a string, rather than a bullet that might shoot in a straight line." He murmured. "I use a whip normally, so maybe it's just a natural reaction, to the force or the curve behind it. No need to worry." She laughed, and gathered her things up. {8/9; Bullet Barrage} Yasopp looked at her forlornly, "I don't want you to leave!" He murmured and clung to her with a sad look. She laughed, "I have to~" She replied with a sad face. "I've got to get things done." She added. "You know." She shrugged. He sighed and hugged her. She pulled a piece of green and blue candy from her purse and handed it to him. "Here you go." She said. "Try that, and remember me. But only eat it with booze." She winked, and started away from him. "Bye~" He called, and Kale sighed. She still have to find more people to teach her to be a gunslinger. Yasopp was just always number one on her list. {9/9; Bullet Barrage}

Entering Misty Peak again in search of some more training Malik noticed a man with red hair fighting with some marines. Each one was taken down with a simple thrust of the man's sword. During all this Malik had imprinted the fight in his memory. Walking up to a tree Malik looked back at the fight and how the man had thrust his blade. Looking over at a small tree. He thrust at with his cutlass. Perfectly mimicking the man's attack. Pulling out the cutlass from the tree Malik turned to see the red hair man staring at him.

"Hey you there nice move."the red hair man said as he pulled out a bottle of rum ,and began to drink."By the way I'm Shanks."he said leaning against a tree as Malik looked at him."Hi I'm Malik."Malik said in response to Shanks."Anyways could you so me any moves you got on ya."He added. unknown to Malik was that Shanks already knew who he was from his mate Ben, and that he was going to actually so him a few moves.

"Okay sure now watch."Shanks said as he cut a tree in have with a simple slash. Motioning Malik to do the same he stepped back a bit and waited. Taking very little time Malik cut the tree in which he had thrust at cutting it cleanly at the bottom in a diagonal slash. Turning to face Shanks the tree behind Malik crashed to the ground with a bang."So What's next."Malik said with a large grin on his face."Something, but anyways that move was called the Pirate Slash."Shanks replied.

Agito wandered his way into the misty peak as he waited for his weapon to be finished. He then began to hear something, it sounded like laughter but not the calm laughter that brought smiles to everyone's heart it sounded more like a drunken laughter. Agito decided that it would be a good way to pass the time in order to wait for his weapon to be done. He traced the sounds back to large bar where a couple men drunk rum and laughed and partied. One of them that caught his eye was the one with the fiery red hair. "red haired shanks" Agito said as he then attacked him slicing his rum bottle in half with his cutlass. Shanks Quote: Merry Pirate Slashes- 1/6 then began to laugh as he stood up. "looks like we got a fiery one..lets see what you got" Shanks then began to hit Agito with a barrage of aggressive slashes from his own cutlass. Agito was intrigued with his speed and power as he barely blocked each slash with his cutlass as he was driven back until he was then forced out of the bar. " come on mate, you can do better than that" shanks said as he then charged Agito and began to quickly hit him with aggressive slashes again. Agito again was forced back and then once shanks stopped attacking Agito used this as an opening as he began to unleash a Quote: Merry Pirate Slashes- 2/6 barrage of thrusts and then did an upward uppercut slash. Agito's thrusts were all blocked by shanks as he unleashed another series of aggressive slashes and he then dodged Agito's upward slash form his cutlass. " hmm..not bad kid, not bad" shanks said as he then began to back up a bit with a drunken smile still spreading across his face. Agito's smile then began to form as he began to lick his lips and he then charged the man with the fiery red haired. He then sent a slash at shanks which he dodged. Shanks then let out a series of slashes but instead of blocking them, Agito began to dodge them noticing the rhythm Quote: Merry Pirate Slashes- 3/6 that the man had with his attacks as if they were a long and dangerous dance. Agito's love for this battle grew as he then tried to use shanks' move and sent out a bunch of aggressive slashes. Shanks easily read the move and smacked the cutlass away form Agito's hand and then began to quickly thrust his sword at Agito. Agito began to dodge the thrusts, each one taking off a few strands of hair form Agito's head. Agito then dived onto the ground, picked up his cutlass and rolled upward and blocked the cutlass sent from shanks to take off Agito's head. "heh..nice reaction time" shanks said as Agito then pushed shanks away Quote: Merry Pirate Slashes- 4/6 and quickly jumped up onto his feet with a smile still on his face. Agito then began to sprint over towards shanks and then began to unleash another barrage of slashes and shanks began to block each one and dodge every other one as if it were some kind of game that he decided to be varied in to add more suspense and to make himself look better. Agito found it interesting that shanks actually decided to block this time which meant that he couldn't dodge all of them which meant that Agito was close to mastering the one armed man's odd attack which involved a bunch of heavy slashes that still contained much Quote: Merry Pirate Slashes- 5/6 speed. Shanks then began to get more aggressive as he then unleashed another series of heavy and aggressive slashes. Agito then countered those slashes with the same technique as he then unleashed a series of heavy and aggressive slashes. The sounds of their rapid bladed grinding against each other could be heard as sparks began to slightly form from the two iron cutlasses as they clashed at high speeds. Shanks' technique was still better though as Agito was eventually out matched and had his guard broken and was hit with a kick from shanks in his stomach. Agito was hit and then began to hold his stomach with one hand and held up the cutlass with another hand. " not bad shanks..not bad at all" Agito said as he awaited shanks attack. Shanks then cocked his arm back and unleashed another series of aggressive quick and heavy slashes that seemed to be powerful. Agito then decided to counter it by using the same attack again. Quote: Merry Pirate Slashes- 6/6

When Agito countered shanks' attack with his own attack their clashing blades began to create many sparks and unlike the last time, Agito's technique was on par with shanks' himself. The fiery red-headed pirate let out a laugh as he then locked blades with Agito in order to stop the rapid slashes and then jumped back. Shanks then dropped his blade into the ground and then pulled out a small bottle of rum. He then took a couple swigs of rum and then a couple more and then a couple more after that until the bottle was empty and then he threw away the bottle and picked his cutlass back up. Shanks then let out a laugh Weapon Waiting-7/8 as he then charged Agito and sent one slash at him from the right and then one from the left and then one upward and then one downward. This was a devastating combo which almost broke Agito's guard and would have been successful in doing so if Agito hadn't already been training with shanks and learned how resourceful he was and so he was prepared for a radical and unique move like the one shanks had just displayed. It was amazing that shanks could be so fast with only one arm and still have so much power behind his slashes. Agito had been able to master one of shanks' more destructive attacks Weapon Waiting-8/8 just by having it used on him for so many times but now Agito wanted to learn this attack that shanks had just used. Agito then began to swing around his cutlass and then motioned for shanks to attack again. Shanks let out a drunken laugh and attacked again as Agito had offered. The attack was just as devastating as the last one and shanks was not even trying, for if he was Agito would be dead right now. Agito's guard was then broken from the attack but he dodged the kick that shanks delivered every time he broke Agito's guard instead of the usual thing which was a slash from the sword but Agito could sense that shanks was not trying to kill him. So all Agito had to worry about was a kick every time his guard was broken which was nothing too serious for him. Agito then rushed shanks again and then sent a slash from the right and then a slash from the left, both successfully surprising shnks and then when Agito went for the upwards slash, shanks sent a strong downward one which broke Agito's guard. Agito then braced himself for a kick but was then rocked in the jaw by the hilt of the cutlass and the guard as he then stumbled back and began to wipe the blood from his bleeding lip. " I guess a kick to the stomach wasn't good enough for you, huh shanks?" Agito said after being surprised by the shot from the hilt of the sword. Agito now knew that shanks was a man of variety, Agito couldn't expect the same thing from him for too long. Agito then quickly rushed him again and attempted to use the technique again as he then sent a slash from the left instead of his usual right opening attack and then a slash from the left to confuse shanks. When Agito then went for the upward slash, Shanks sent a downward slash but that is when Agito sidestepped a bit and then sent an upward slash which was sent to cleave through shanks' back. The black robe that was worn by shanks was indeed cut in half but just as Agito thought he got him, he noticed no blood in the air or on the ground or even on his blade. Shanks had merely sledded his robe in order to create the illusion that he was cut in order to gain the advantage of surprise. Agito then looked to his side and saw shanks' hilt appeared in his face as he was again hit with the guard of the cutlass and the force of the cutlass along with Agito jumping away caused Agito to be thrown slightly to the side. Agito then used this time while shank was to busy laughing to be fully aware of his attack. Agito then sent a left strike and then a quickly right strike. Shanks blocked both of them but before he could send a downward slash, Agito had already hit him with an upward one sending his blade arm into the air. Before shanks could retract it back, Agito slammed his blade down which collided with shanks' blade and forced him down to a half kneel before he then exploded with power and forced Agito away with a mere push. Shanks then let out a laugh as he began to sit down for a moment and catch a breather. As Shanks decided to rest Agito decided to go pick up his weapon, by the time he returned, shanks would be ready for a couple more rounds.

Post Length: 8 posts
Ariana walked into the misty peaks feeling quite relaxed trying to enjoy her break for a bit.
"Back to learn something a little bit more from the sword master himself?"
Shanks asked holding the hilt of his sword with the blade pointed down and the tip touching the ground. Ariana heard his voice and turned around smiling running over to him. She jumped into his arms and hugged him missing him.
2/8
Shanks smirked dropping his sword and catching Ariana lifting her up as her legs wrapped around his waist. Shanks laughed as did Ariana began to choke him a bit from how tight she hugged him around his waist and neck.
"I guess I can take that as a yes? Or maybe a no since your kinda trying to kill me with this choke hold"
Ariana laughed hearing his comment then loosened up the hug keeping her legs wrapped tight though
3/8
"Sorry about that I have just had such a hard time getting around and I missed you a lot. I havent seen you in such a long time and all. I was wondering if I would see you again. You better have missed me or else"
Shanks laughed at Ariana's comments glad she finally loosened up so that he could breath now.
"yes yes of course I missed you loads, I expected you to have problems by the size of your bounty"
4/8
Ariana frowned looking him in the face giving him the puppy eyes showing him he was depressed. Shanks looked at Ariana staring her in the eyes as a sweat slid down the side of his face showing his discomfort a little bit.
"Yikes don't cry don't cry. It'll all be okay where is your crew or captain I should say?"
Ariana looked down resting her head on his chest as he held her then she looked up
5/8
"whats wrong Ariana? You do have a crew don't you? or atleast a captain right?"
Shanks said looking Ariana in the eyes but she just simply slowly looked down. Shanks used his forehead to forehead to press against hers and tilt her head back up. Their heads touched as they maintained eye contact.
"Ariana? You don't have a crew or captain? You have to...theres no way you..."
6/8
"Theres no way you you got all that bounty by yourself Ariana, did you?"
Ariana smiled faintly for a split second with a sign of discomfort turning her head away from Shank's face knowing he would have something to say. Shanks pressed Ariana's back against a wall to help support her weight and trap her
"Ariana wow that takes a lot of work, do you need help with anything? I can teach you things"
7/8
Ariana smiled slightly letting her legs free of his waist and standing on her own. Shanks kept his arms around her waist then released after a few seconds. Ariana bit her bottom lip then nodded slightly in reply to Shanks
"Yeah...I think I'd like that. I need all the help I can get at this point"
Shanks took a few steps back then picked up his sword and smiled to Ariana
8/8
Shanks took his blade holding it up before his face then dashed forward and began to perform a sequence of aggressive strikes that Ariana could barely keep track of. She knew it was merry pirate slashes by the way he moved. Shanks then ended with a final thrust and looked to Ariana nodding sightly wanting her to try. Ariana picked out her katana and dashed forward slashing violently at the air performing merry pirate slash end with a thrust

Quote: Ultimate Mutilation- 8 posts Pirate Finale- 10 posts Quick Wit- 5 posts Improvising- 3 posts Total- 26 posts When Agito returned, he had a large smile on his face as he arrived with his new trident. He began to swing it around with great ease, it had all the right weight in the right places to make maneuvering it nothing bu ease. Shanks saw Agito's trident and smiled a little but then said. " sorry, Agito what I have to tech you is not for the trident, draw your cutlass so we may continue" Agito was a little disappointed but still decided to continue as he placed his trident into the ground. Agito then drew his cutlass as he looked at shanks and before shanks could stand and raise his cutlass, Agito sent a barrage of heavy slashes towards Shanks. Shanks dived out of the way and then quickly charged Agito. Agito was then surprised to see that Shanks then began to use merry pirate slashes while running. Agito barely blocked some and was cut by others and just when he thought it was over, he saw the the opening shanks had then delivered a final thrust. Agito then tried to block the thrust but with the momentum of the merry pirate slashes, Agito was pushed back onto his but even though he had blocked it with his cutlass. Agito then had no time to recover as shanks' cutlass came swinging down at Agito. Agito then blocked it with his cutlass and then sent a kick upwards and kicked shanks on the bottom of his arm which caused the cutlass to go flying. Agito then jumped up and began to rapidly slash at shanks who had nothing but a smile on his face. Agito then took his chance to use shank's move as he began to back up Agito then took off a full speed and unleashed a series of slashes while running, it was definably allot harder than standing still since he had to worry more bout not cutting himself instead of him cutting his opponent which caused him to miss allot of slashes without shanks not even having to dodge and the other times shanks merely blocked the slashes with ease. Agito then saw an opening as shanks began to lower his cutlass, Agito then sent a powerful thrust using the extra momentum from the running and slashing which was used to surprise the enemy with a powerful attack that was hard to block from such a close range. Shanks just smiled as he side stepped. Agito missed shanks completely and because he couldn't control his movements, he began to fall with nothing to hit since he forced all his weight into the sword attack and made contact with nothing. Agito then hit the ground and quickly began to roll to dodge the downward attacks from shanks' cutlass. Agito then began to wonder about where Shanks had gotten another cutlass when Agito had knocked it away. Agito then looked to where the cutlass was and saw that there was no longer anything there. " damn, he fast" Agito said to himself as he quickly scrambled to his feet and began to run to the side as shanks ran to the side as well like he was mirroring Agito or shadowing him. Agito then got frustrated with shanks playing around with him so he then quickly slashed his cutlass which shanks dodged by dipping his upper body back and the cutlass just grazed a strand of shanks hair and as soon as the hair hit the floor, shanks was already charging Agito and letting off a barrage of heavy and aggressive slashes. Agito then began to dodge allot of them and deflecting the rest as he began to back up, just as Agito was seeming to have fun and understand Shanks' techniques, there was an explosion nearby. Agito and shanks both had the same idea which didn't require words as they both sheathed their cutlasses and ran over towards the explosion. The navy bounty hunters had come and were looking for the big bounties in order to get rich quick. Agito drew his cutlass instantly as he then locked blades with a navy officer who was about to hack a little girl into pieces. Agito then forced the man away and then sliced his arm off and then sent his blade into the mans stomach so far in that it came out his back. Agito then ripped his blade out and spun around, sending a slash which slit another navy officer's throat. Agito then turned around to see shanks using the same move that he had used on Agito already and began to slash navy officers with heavy and aggressive slashes and then killed two of them at once by thrusting his sword through one and into another and then ripping it out of both of them at once. " wow, he sure is a powerful one..no wonder hes so famous" Agito said to himself as he then turned to see Colonel Butler, a slightly more famous pirate than Agito himself, butler seemed to know when to dodge every attack and then the soldiers always left an opening for an attack which the colonel always took and would kill the soldiers with one hit. This must have been his rumored "Quick Wit" which allowed him to seemingly predict everyone's moves before they happened, some people used to say that he could see slightly into the future which allowed him to see his opponents movements before they happened so he could react to them accordingly to his prior vision. Agito analyzed the technique and just as he thought he had it down, he heard a clash behind him as a man with a pole stopped a navy soldier from stabbing Agito right in the back. It was Shuraiya Bascud he then began to swing around his pole and then sent a kick with both feet which took out a whole group of navy soldiers because he kicked two people who then fell into another couple people who then fell into more people like a domino affect. Agito then began to analyze that rather unique technique as well as he jumped up , dodging one soldier and then came down with his blade hacking another soldier in half. It seemed as thought the soldiers where never ending like they sent the whole navy. That would make sense though because there were some serious pirates here. Agito hoped that one day a group of soldiers like this would be deployed to capture Agito, then he would truly have a worthy bounty on his head. A smile then formed on Agito's face as he then ducked from an in coming attack from a soldier and then sent his sword slicing through the mans stomach he then ripped the sword up from his stomach and through his head. Agito the began to cackle a bit as hew went a little blood crazed like that day when he killed his entire village. Agito began to spin around his cutlass as he deflected arrows being shot at him. Agito began to close his eyes for a bit as he was then thrown through the bar and outside into the open where many navy soldiers hid to ambush him as his eyes remained closed. Agito's discolored eyes shot open. He then jumped on top of the boulder, his trident laid horizontally in front of him and his large cutlass blade stuck in the ground in a horizontal stance next to him. Agito then stood up, picking up his staff and his sword. He placed the blade in it's sheath on his back and began to spin the trident around in his hands as he stepped down from the boulder and out into the open. As he spun his trident around he then shouted out into the open and into the shadows as well." Come!" As he said this, hordes of navy soldiers began to rain down from atop the small buildings and from the gaps in between buildings. The soldiers automatically rushed Agito. Agito saw one soldier running for him and spun, sending his trident slamming into the head of the warrior and sending him stumbling away. He then spun again into the other direction and swung his staff upwards, hitting another soldier in the chin and sending him up onto his toes and then down onto his back. As three more navy soldiers rushed him, Agito jumped up, spreading his legs out and landed each heel on another navy soldier and then swung his staff from between his legs and hit the one coming from behind right in his face and sent him falling backwards. He then pulled his legs together and sent the two other navy soldiers running into each other he then stood on their shoulders. He then jumped up and came down with the staff knocking both into the ground face-first. " Come on! I need a challenge!" Agito cried out into the air as Navy marksmen then appeared and began to load their rifles. Agito then smiled as he planted the trident into the ground and puled out his long cutlass blade. He then swung his blade to the side deflecting a bullet from a rifle, he then spun his body around and cut a navy soldier in half. The blood from the soldier rained from the sky and covered the other soldiers, they then went into frenzy and charged Agito. Agito got a taste of the blood and went into a sort of frenzy of himself as a toothy and fang-filled smile formed across his face. He was then hit with a rifle bullet but did not move as the smoke covered his body. He then let out a cackle as he leaped up onto a small building and cleaved the marksmen in two. He then leaped down and picked up his trident and dropped his sword into the ground. The frenzied navy soldiers charged him at the same time now which is why he picked up his trident which was better for wide-spread enemies. Agito then began to rapidly spin his trident around his body along with twisting and twirling his body around also. His Trident smacked navy soldiers in the stomach, the cheek, the ribs, the jaw, the head, the thigh and even got low enough to sweep the feet and moved in an odd enough angle to hit them in the back. Agito continued to do this for about a minute before all of the navy Soldiers lay on the ground out cold. Agito then ran over to every soldier that still moved and smashed their head into the ground with his trident to knock them out. Agito then dodged a rifle with his newly acquired quick wit, seeing that there was one more marksmen left, he then smiled as he seemingly vanished. The area was silent for a bit as the navy marksmen who stood on top of a small building began to look around in awe. Suddenly, Agito erupted from the building with his blade and cleaved through the marksmen from the bottom up. Agito then let out a roar as he looked towards the famous pirates who applauded from their seats inside the crowded and mostly destroyed bar. Agito had been going through a fighting test that all pirates eventually went through to see if they had what it took to truly become great. The navy soldiers he killed and injured were still real enemies but no one regarded their existence as anything important which is why they are all on the front lines anyway. They would all probably be dead the next time the navy went out for a pirate hunt. The famous pirates began to speak to Agito through the destroyed wall of the bar. "you have proven your strength against these soldiers, but now for the REAL test. Don't disappoint us." Shanks said as Agito Turned around he saw a large door open on a navy ship as a loud howl like roar emerged from the dark room. Suddenly a large beastly Navy Chief soldier emerged from the ship it was easily twice Agito's size. IT was a half giant but this one was avaged and had whip scars all along it's body, it had been beaten and starved in order to become a beast for the navy to use for their own selfish desires. This proved that the navy where just dogs who's only justice they cared about was their own. When it emerged, its chains were released and it then killed the two guards who released it's chains. It then picked up a large axe that was waiting for it outside it's cage and it's eyes were then set on Agito. Agito then smiled as he dropped his sword into the ground so that it wouldn't way him down but he stabbed the hilt into the ground so the blade was sticking up vertically like a large spike. Agito then picked up his dream's trident planning to battle against the behemoth and his large and sharp axe with a lance-like weapon. Ichiban chose this weapon because his trident was made from the finest of materials that could surpass the faulty iron of the axe that the half giant held. This made his trident equal to or possibly even stronger than the large axe and was the best weapon in defeating it. Agito then waited as the behemoth began to charge at him, letting out a war cry as it swung it's axe around wildly. Agito smiled as he ran forward and swung his trident into the axe, knocking the giant's arm into the air as it began to stumble. Agito then leaped up as the giant swung the axe again. Agito landed on the flat end of the axe and leaped off of it, with clear shot, smacked the giant in the head making it cry and stumble around. Agito then leaped behind the giant and began to slam the Trident into it's back with full force, the sound of the giant's battered skin being ripped apart by the dull staff-end of the trident could be heard from even where the other pirates sat and watched. The giant began to run forward, trying to escape the attacks of Agito, Agito continued to attack until he finally saw his opening and slammed his trident into one of the knees of the giant , this caused it to topple over and landed straight on the cutlass which faced upward. Agito had planned to kill it by using the sword ever since he knew he was going to battle the giant. The sword stuck out from the beasts back, just between it's shoulder blades. The giant still moved around a bit, but Agito's smile grew wider when he saw this. He then grabbed his cutlass by the blade and ripped it from the half giant's back, ripping the hilt out as well. The giant screamed and flailed around as Agito then sliced it's head off and tossed it to the side. Agito then began to sweat as he whipped it away with his sleeve and then sheathed his cutlass and then picked up his trident again. Agito then heard a hardy laugh as shanks walked over to him with a mug of rum. " you did a good job there Agito, there is now nothing more that I can teach you." Shanks said with a smile as he then took a long swig of rum and then began to cheer with the other drunken pirates in the bar as they all acted as though the whole navy thing had never happened. Agito smiled at how hardy the pirates where so Agito went into the mostly destroyed bar and began to drink with them. He danced with them and partied as a type of celebration for his training being completed. Once it was all over all of the more popular pirates decided to leave seeing as though the navy was sure to be back, they didn't want to bring to much heat back to this place so they all began to set sail and one by one they vanished into the vast ocean. Agito wondered how pirates could be so nice but he then realized that it was only a few pirates who were nice but the majority of them were cold and black hearted murderers. Knowing this, Agito had already known that both he navy and the pirates along with the normal civilians were mostly the same. All questing for power and all willing to betray and kill anyone in order to obtain that power. That was why all life was nothing more than minor annoyances to Agito. After remaining in the area for a little longer Agito decided that it was time that he departed, he was sure to have gotten at least a small bounty on his head now from what he did to the navy soldiers. As Agito began to get ready to leave, he bout another mug of rum and began to gulp it down. " hmm..now I know why they like this stuff so much" Agito said as he then got another refill and gulped it down and then got another refill and then one more after that. Agito apparently had a strong stomach because he held that beer like a champ only just getting drunk after his fourth or fifth mug of rum and these weren't just small little cups, the mugs were bigger than a normal man's head. and as wide as a man's head as well.
