Noah began to stealth walk making himself go faster than ever before, but he failed he stopped too soon. Kuro looked annoyed, "That's wrong." Noah knew he had messed up, and Kuro's words were just making him more displeased. "Leave me be; I will try again." Kuro crossed his arms, Noah knew that meant he was getting impatient. Noah had to try again, this time it would work. He just needed to shorten the time between intervals and he would be able to do it.

Noah disappeared and did not reappear for several minutes, it was at this time that Kuro began to get worried, now feeling as though he was being hunted. Noah, even though he was traveling at this great speed, knew that Kuro was worried. Noah quickly attack while still moving, unfortunately he missed, the attack was much harder than he had thought it would be. He reappeared and Kuro began to clap, "very well done boy, but you couldn't hit me." Noah smiled, "oh yeah?" at that moment Kuro's entire top turned to shreds.

"What the heck boy?" shouted Kuro, "You needed a new suit anyway," said Noah. Noah brushed off his clothes after collecting a little dirt on them. "Well I guess this is goodbye." said Noah as he began to walk off, Kuro watched him as he walked off, his eyes were gleaming, "Man what a stylish guy. Come back some time!" he shouted out at Noah. Noah didn't bother to turn around as a guy like Kuro was cramping his style. Noah didn't want to get involved with crazies like him anymore. He wasn't exactly sure where he was going but as usual he just wanted to train.

Madam Rotsalot Cindy wandered through Syrup Village, looking at all the many sights that the village offered. The place was absolutly beautiful and CIndy honestly considered making this Village her permanent place of residence. Though she had heard many stories of this place, about how once the Great Pirate Sniper Usopp lived in this town and defeated the infamous Captain Kuro. Rumours spread the Kuro still wandered around thse parts but Cindy honeslty didn't believe a single rumour. She was much to smart to believe that.
Stealth Walk 1/4 As she continued walking though she starting to get in more forested area, away from the rest of the village atleast. There was not a single sould to be seen. Cindy lightly scratched the back of her head and sighed. "It would appear that I am...lost." She said looking around. Though as she turned her head she could have sworn she saw a blur in the corner of her eye but she simply shrugged and kept walking. Though the odd thing was she kept seeing this blur and now she beginning to get slightly worried by this.

Kale returned to Syrup village, and took a breath. She entered the same bar she had before and grinned. "Oh Captain Kuro!" She called loudly, a man in the back standing up again. "Is that my Kale?" He called back with interest, she curled her finger towards him. "Indeed." He smiled and walked towards her. "Return for something?" He questioned, taking her hand very gently, returning them back to the place they first trained. "Come to learn my last two techniques?" He questioned her. She nodded pleasantly and he sighed. "Very well." He pretended to be discouraged. "We'll start with 'Razor Claws Attack'.
{1/5; Razor Claws Attack}
"First, retrieve your weapon." He instructed her, and she pulled Cherry from it's sheath, letting it shimmer in the light. Kuro seemed pleased by this little bit of information. "Very nice." He told her pleased and took a stance. "What's going to happen here, is..." He began to explain to Kale with interest. "You will use stealth walk, and then you'll leap into the air and come down on the person aiming to stab them with your weapon." He finished. "Do you understand that?" he asked her. Kale nodded, "I think I've got it. You want to try it once for me?" She batted her eyes lashes at him.
{2/5; Razor Claws Attack}
Kuro shook his head, "You always had a way with me Kale." He murmured and disappeared coming down on Kale quickly, with his claws poised to attack. Kale yelped surprised and jumped out of the way, looking at him with interest. "Now that..." She began clapping her hands together. "Was so cool!" She squealed bouncing up and down. "I cannot wait to try it!" She told him, bouncing around him -- exuding the excitement that he had forgotten one person could have. Kale whined. "Can I?" She begged and he waved his hand. "Go ahead." He told her.
{3/5; Razor Claws Attack}
Kale giggled and stepped forward, disappearing -- preforming the Stealth Walk. He watched her, knowing where she was the whole time. His head turned to the sky, as she came down on him, wielding her sword, it glimmering in the sunlight. He laughed and quickly stepped out of the way, smiling at Kale. Kale laughed and landed gracefully turning on Kuro. "Well what do you think?" She questioned him, happy that she got to see someone she hadn't seen in a while. He smiled, again -- pleasant with Kale. Kale's attitude was pretty infectious indeed. "I think.." He began slowly. "That you've greatly improved in your stealth walk."
{4/5; Razor Claws Attack}
"Annnddd?" Kale questioned. He laughed, "And I think you got that move, rather quickly. You'll need more practice, but for now my only suggestion is that you try to be a little more quiet on your way." He told her honestly. She laughed a bit, "Well I didn't think I seriously needed to with you around Kuro. I'm sure if we got attacked you would protect me!" She laughed and he rolled his eyes. She was right, but he didn't want to admit that to this girl. Then it would seem as though he had feelings or emotions or some such ridiculousness. Pushing his glasses up the bridge of his noise he said. "Ready for your next lesson?"

Kale nodded to Kuro and took a seat on the grass looking up at him with interest. "Yup!" She added, just in case he was worried -- she was unsure in some way. He grinned and stood there. "Well; the next move --" His tone was serious and Kale knew it was something that she would need to pay attention too. Kuro was the serious type, especially when it came to his moves -- that she would be trying to learn. He sighed and sat down on the ground, in front of her thoughtfully. She watched him, as it seemed as if he were almost arguing with himself about telling Kale about the Cat's Out of the Bag Attack.
{1/6; Cat's Out of the Bag Attack}
Kale nudged him, "It's okay Kuro. I can handle it." She told him, laying down so her head was on his outstretched legs. She looked up at him. Seriousness apparent on his face -- but for a moment she swore she saw a flash of a smile. "Kale;" He began, "This next move utilizes the Stealth Walk, three times." He told her. "Do you remember what I said about that?" He questioned her. Kale nodded slightly, "Yeah -- After three times, the user's body will be weak." She announced and he nodded his head. "So if you use this move." He warned, "Only use it in desperate situations." He seemed firm on this.
{2/6; Cat's Out of the Bag Attack}
"Don't just use it out of the blue, because you want a leg up." He told her; looking down at her -- and it made Kale think that he'd done it too many times. Kale nodded, sadly. "Of course Captain Kuro." She replied very seriously. Kuro sighed and looked down at her. "I will show you once, and you will try it." He told her quietly. "Then -- you're going to need to rest." He told her, "Because you would have used stealth walk, fours times." Kuro looked to her, "Are you of understanding?" He questioned, Kale. Kale swallowed but nodded slowly. "Got it, Kuro." She said. He nudged her and she sat up. Both of them standing.
{3/6; Cat's Out of the Bag Attack}
Kuro glanced to Kale, "Keep watch." He told her -- and then disappeared stepping forwards. Kale watched him, then he was gone and she couldn't keep up with him, nor could she see where his stealth walk became the next, or the next. It was powerful, and Kale could tell. When he reappeared, she felt the coolness of his claws against her, and felt her pants get torn. She rolled her eyes as he re-appeared. "Pervert!" She yelled at him. He laughed, it was hearty and she didn't remember hearing it. It stunned her a bit. He tossed her a article of clothing and she looked down at it. "Did you buy this in case I came back?" She frowned, turning away from him to slip her pants off, and replace it with the upper thigh length black skirt he had given her. She turned back.
{4/6; Cat's Out of the Bag Attack}
"Yes." He grinned. "It looks good." He told her honestly. She laughed. "Sicko!" She teased. "You think you got that?" Kuro questioned. He looked a bit weak, but Kale knew Kuro was used to it -- unlike how she would be. Kale took a deep breath and he nodded his head. She stepped forward and disappeared preforming what she was already so used to. He watched her, judging her speed and direction. He went and stood not too far away. Kale continued, and raised her sword; for the ending attack. She came down, and missed. She let out a soft sigh, and Kuro caught her as she fainted. Kuro sat and held her against him for a moment.
{5/6; Cat's Out of the Bag Attack}
"You got it, Kale." He told her, his claws discarded next to him. He sighed quietly and looked down at her. Kale looked pale -- and he sighed. He knew it was a direct result of the training, but she was strong. She would over come. He stayed that way with her for a long while, covering her legs with his coat -- when someone passed and began to eye her wantonly. Later -- Kale's eyes opened and she groaned looking up Kuro. "Did I win?" She questioned him. "Yes, Kale. You won." He told her with a smile. "Go ahead, you've gotten your color back. I think you're good enough to travel." He told her, helping her up and then getting up himself. Kale hugged him. "Thanks." She said -- regretting now, not hugging them the first time they had met.
"You know where I am if you want to see me." He told her -- and then grabbed his things, walking away from her. She sighed and headed away from Syrup village sadly.

As she was leaving Kale was grabbed by a large man, and picked up. She let out a scream of surprise. "Put me down your brute!" She yelled. The man, put her down on a large boat and laughed. "Calm down girly!" He said, "I'm a friend of Kuro's." He told her. "He mentioned you a while back, and I thought I might have something I can teach you." He told Kale, who raised an eyebrow. He flexed his muscles. "I'm going to help you be more resistant to attacks!" He seemed proud. "Keep ya strong, girl!" He grinned and Kale nodded. "Okay." She said softly, wondering if she'd see Kuro. She hoped, this guy scared her.
{1/5; Hard Muscles}
The guy kept his muscles flexed. "Hit me!" He demanded of her and Kale frowned a bit. "Come on girl!" He ordered and Kale stepped back glancing around. She jumped backwards and then ran for him -- leaping onto her hands, using them to propel both of her feet in a flying kick into the guy's chest. They hit, but the guy didn't even flinch, which made Kale yelp as she started to fall from the force of the guys push back. Kale prepared herself for the hit, but was caught. She looked up and Kuro was looking down at her. "You know, I'm not going to catch you next time." He teased her, winking. He set her down and laughed, going to sit to watch.
{2/5; Hard Muscles}
Kale turned back to the large man and sighed quietly. He tsk'd at her. "See. That's what happens when you use Hard Muscles to feign a blow!" He told her proudly, he was still flexing and deep down it made her want to gag. "Okay, I got the point!" She told him seriously. He nodded and glanced to Kuro who was watching amused at the moment. "Okay, so..flex." Buchi demanded of Kale. She frowned and did what she was told, as he came up and punched her in the gut. Apparently, Kale hadn't flexed enough cause she bent over and coughed up blood. Kuro winced and the other frowned. "Got to keep this up." He told her.
{3/5; Hard Muscles}
He looked to her, and then said. "Again." He glared and Kale whimpered and nodded. She took a breath and flexed her muscles. She whimpered and Kuro watched worriedly as the other man punched her in the stomach again. This time there was more resistance, but she was still in pain. She cried out and held her stomach. "You're doing better." He told her. "Soon you won't even feel the pain." He told her honestly. Kale nodded, and took another breath, spitting out some blood with a whine. He watched her. "You're doing good." He told her, looking up to Kuro who sighed and gave him the 'nod'. He helped Kale up. "One more time."
{4/5; Hard Muscles}
Kale clentched her muscles and steeled herself for the next punch. She would have bruises in the morning -- but if Kuro thought this was a good idea. Then she would get it done. She watched a moment, as the guy prepared to attack. She took a breath and when the punch came, it hurt but not as bad as the past two. She winced a bit and stood up. He grinned at her. "See wasn't do bad was it girl?" He questioned and walked over to Kuro. Kale followed and whined. "b*****d." She murmured to herself but nodded. "Thanks." She said and smiled. Kuro winked at her. "Go on, be gone girl!" Buchi said. Kale turning and walking away from the two with a wave.

Gina headed into town, but stopped short. Now where would I find- "Looking for something?" asked a voice. Gina screamed and whirled around, but no one was there. "Let me guess. You're some hotshot pirate and you want me to teach you." Gina blinked, then beamed suddenly. "Yes! Teach me that move you just did!" Kuro nodded and repeated the move. Gina's eyes were shining in adoration. "Cool! Lemme try now!"
Stealth Walk: 1/4
Gina closed her eyes and focused. She let her body go slack, as Kuro did, and jerked her body, attempting to move forward, but tripped over her own feet and fell flat on her face. Kuro frowned at her, and she sat up and giggled. "Okay, that wasn't supposed to happen. I'll go it again and again until I get it." Kuro nodded and Gina got back into position.
Stealth Walk: 2/4
Gina took a deep breath, let it out, and closed her eyes. She concentrated on nothing in particular, and relaxed her body. She slid forward and felt the fluid motion of the technique tugging her forward at an incredible speed. But, as she was still new, and had her eyes closed, she slammed into a nearby tree. She sat up and rubbed her nose. "Owch?" Kuro sighed in frustration. "You aren't very bright, are you?" Gina grinned and stood up, ready to try again.
Stealth Walk: 3/4
Gina focused, watching the cat-like way Kuro moved as he used the Stealth Walk one last time for her. She nodded and tried again, only this time, she didn't close her eyes. She just loosened up and slid forward, and next thing she knew, she was ten feet away from the spot she was at a moment ago. She did a happy flip and punched the air. "Yeah! I got it! I got it! Sugoi!" Kuro smiled; a rare occassion.
Stealth Walk: 4/4

Gina trned back to Kuro. "Awright, what next? I can take anything ya throw out at me." Kuro smirked and adjusted his glasses; a gesture that made Gina shiver. She smiled uncomfortably. "This next move is called Razor Claws Attack. You may use a sharp weapon- do you have any?" Gina looked into her Small Bag and took out a Dagger. "This enough?" Kuro nodded. "Let's get started, then."
Razor Claws Attack: 1/5
Kuro fixed his tie and said, "This move is basically the Stealth Walk, but you jump up and pounce on your opponent, slashing them from above. Can you do that?" "Piece of pie," Gina boasted, getting into position. She used the Stealth Walk, letting her body go slack and sliding forward. When she began to move, she bent her knees as low as possible, and jumped about three feet in the air. Kuro disappeared and caught Gina in mid-air, knocking her into the ground. "You're not jumping high enough!" he snapped.
Razor Claws Attack: 2/5
"I can't jump any higher than that! Deal with it! I'm not an athlete!" Gina snarled. Kuro stood up. "Softie. Frightened, weak little kitten." He bent low over Gina's face and whispered, "If you want to lead the life of a pirate, then you need to work harder! You think I got this way by whining?" "I don't want to get to where you are," Gina said angrily, "You gave up pirating long ago. I'm going to be a Warlord, and nothing will stop me, not even this stupid technique!"
Razor Claws Attack: 3/5
Kuro stood up and laughed. He laughed and laughed, and laughed. Gina took a deep breath and cleared her head of the anger. "Just shut up and jump for me." Kuro smiled. "As you wish, ma petite." Gina blinked. "What does that mean?" "Nothing at all. Now watch how I jump, and try to copy the way I move. If you can," he teased. Gina smirked and mimicked his movements, getting into a bear stance as she watched him jump up at least ten feet in the air.
Razor Claws Attack: 4/5
Gina gaped. "Now you try it, little kitten." Gina ignored him and tried to think of a way to jump that high. She bent low and got into position. She strained her knees and leg muscles to jump, and she made it about seven feet, and she slashed at the earth coming down. "How's that?" she asked. Kuro nodded vaguely. "Needs work, but the basics are good." Gina beamed.
Razor Claws Attack: 5/5

"Aight, now what's next?" "Next," Kuro said, "And last, is the Cat's Out of the Bag Attack. You use Stealth Walk thrice and, without reappearing, you may attack at will. You will not see who or what you are attacking, but it still gets the best results. Although, if you are hit while attacking, the effects of the Stealth Walk will wear off. Got it?" Gina nodded eagerly. "Very well. You may begin." Gina relaxed and used Stealth Walk, disappearing, used it once more, and ran at incredible speed, thrice, and sliced a tree, nicked a rock, and made a long, deep gore in the ground.
Cat's out of the Bag Attack: 1/6
She also hit several more things along the way, until Kuro stuck out his hand and said, "Slice my hand. If you concentrate enough, you can direct your attacks. If you don't have the concentration, the attack may wear you out." Gina nodded, realized Kuro couldn't see it, and yelled out, "Got it!" but immediately felt dizzy for it. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and opened her eyes again. She strained to see past her whirling body, and barely made out a shape nearby. She focused on it, and felt her dagger hit it, hard.
Cat's out of the Bag Attack: 2/6
She heard a loud crack, and seconds later, a tree fell. Gina slowed herself down, feeling dizzy and weary, and flopped down on the ground, trying to make the world stop spinning. She could hear Kuro laughing, but didn't have the energy to feel angry or snap at him. She had done the Cat's Out of the Bag Attack on her first try. Or so she thought. "Again. Until you get it right. When you can execute it perfectly, I'll let you go."
Cat's out of the Bag Attack: 3/6
Gina had gained just enough energy to get angry. "If I managed it on my first try, then why do I need to do it again?!" "Because, little kitten," Kuro said, "You stop trying after you've managed it once. That does not mean you mastered it. You didn't even hit my hand like you should have. It was a simple bout of beginner's luck. Now do it again, until I am satisfied that you have done it well enough. Now go!" Gina snarled and got back up on her feet. She sighed and tried it again.
Cat's out of the Bag Attack: 4/6
Gina steadied herself, feeling exhausted from the training. I can't endure much more of this.. I can't even see a good part- that's it! she thought, standing up straight, grinning widely. "If I can get this right, then I can go and train elsewhere, right, Kuro?" He nodded. Gina grinned like a Cheshire cat and tied again. "Slash at me with the intent to kill," Kuro instructed, a second too late as the dagger bled a long line along his arm, tearing into his sleeve.
Cat's out of the Bag Attack: 5/6
Gina appeared a second later, and Kuro grabbed her around the throat and brought her to eye level. Gina stared him right back, fearless, and breathless, and he smirked. "Congratulations. You've got it. You've mastered the Cat's Out of the Bag Attack. Now get going, little kitten. A hotshot pirate like yourself should be off sailing." He let Gina go, and she did a victory backflip and punched the air. "Whoo! Off to the next teacher!" And she ran off.
Cat's out of the Bag Attack: 6/6
