Shō and Smoker began to look up at the sky together, they've been training for quite the amount of hours, forget hours its been it least two days that they've actually been training together. Shō than nodded, he was laying in the grass while looking up at the stars that were once again in the sky. It was such a beautiful wednesday night, Shō than looked at Smoker with a serious look. "Oi Smoker, thanks for training me. I know you didn't have to do any of this, I just want you to kno I seriously appreciate this. I'll never forget you man." Smoker wasn't one to get all sentimental so he coughed while closing his eyes.

Smoker than explained to the kid it wasn't because he wanted to be nice or even that because the boy had the Smoke Smoke Fruit but because he saw the amazing potential in Shō. This was something most teachers that were teaching Shō anything, no matter how difficult the technique was, no matter how weak Shō felt. He wouldn't stop attempting to learn the technique until it was actually learned, this just showed Shō's strong will to become stronger. After all to Shō seeking anything other than power.....is foolishness of the highest order. This was just the kind of kid he was, it wasn't that Shō was selfish, but the way he grew up it was basically the weak the died and the strong that lived.

Shō didn't know why he was so strong sometimes, it never even actually came to him when he was showing true strength. All his training, all the people that hes battled pushed him to become stronger, it wasn't just a gift that he was strong Shō trained really hard. He knew how strong his sister was back then, there was no telling how strong she would be now. He didn't even know if she was a pirate sailing the sea's, all he knew was that he had to find her and when he found her he could move on forward towards becoming the greatest Gunslinger Marksmen.

"When you were young did you pick up fast? I mean were you actually as strong as you were now? You probably weren't but I just can't imagine all the villians and pirates you've faught and brought to the military. Your a cammander now so that means you've must of went through hell of battles to still be alive and kicking." Smoker began to laugh, yes it was great that he was Cammander now but it was mostly thanks to the Devil fruit that once resided inside him. The Smoke Smoke fruit really helped him through many of his battles, it was starting to become understandable why Smoker would want to pass his techniques down to a mere kid, so the kid could grow on his own and become stronger with the help from Smoker.

Shō began to understand who Smoker actually was, under that stern persona he gave most individuals around him he was still a kind hearted man that wanted just peace for all humanity. He faught for peace thats the exact reason why he was in the military, to fight for peace. Smoker puffed his cig a few times than blew out some smoke that formed into a few animal shapes. Shō found this quite amusing than started to laugh a little, Smoker also began to laugh they were starting to have a closer bond that before which was a little surprising.

Shō stood up straight than yawned slightly as he begun to strech. Smoker right away knew what this meant since any time Shō streched before his training meant he was becoming serious. Smoker thought now was most convieniet since he wanted to start the training session as well. It was time for Shō to learn the last technique Smoker would ever be teaching him, Shō wasn't nervous, the boy had no regrets which was perfect. "Oi so this Smokescreen technique is really that hard huh? It's the final technique you'll be teaching me after all so it has to be legendary, heh. Well maybe not legendary but useful in the near future. So can you please demenstrate the technique first to me.

Smoker than took a couple of steps back, it was time for the boy to witness the technique Smokescreen. The user turns completely into smoke and engulfs a small portion of the field in smoke. The opponent can move freely in the smoke, but cannot escape by normal means. The user can literally appear and disappear in this smokescreen. This technique lasts for 3 posts, and can only used 1 time per battle. Smoker showed Shō which was simply amazing to the boy, this was the technique he needed it would give him such an advantage over his opponent if he learned this technique so he had to learn it. Smoker than came back to his human form and stood in front of Shō it was his turn to attempt completing this final technique. "Yes sensei! This is my first try, so don't really think anything of it, I don't even expect to learn this technique the first try."

Shō bent his knee's then closed his eyes to focus, he turned into a cloud of smoke which began to expand and cover the field more, it was fine but he wanted to do it a couple more times so it could be completely perfect. If he learned this technique to the fullest he would never have to worry about being in a disadvantage with this technique in play, it was the ultimate fighting arena Shō could probably beat almost anyone in. This smokescreen technique was really something. The boy than formed into his human form right in front of Smoker, he continued to ask questions about the technique. As smoker told him hints and tricks into this technique he began to understand this technique further, it was almost becoming too simple for the boy.

Smoker told the boy to stand and try again, this time he needed to consentrate on expanding the smoke throughout the area more along with knowing exactly what to do within the smoke to use this technique even more further deadlier than it actually is. Shō was beginning to realize his Devil Fruits ability could become stronger, it depends on how he used it further than what it actually was basically used for. If he used more advanced technqiues and begun to put creativity into those techniques he could become a real tricky fighter, one that no one could match up against. Shō than turned into smoke once again covering the field, it seemed as if there was a thick white mist that covered the field, if the person standing before him wasn't Smoker he would probably coughing right about now.

Smoker sat down while watching the mist around him, not only was the kid getting better at this but Shō actually beat the time to learn this technique faster than the previous technique. This technique was suppose to be a lot more difficult yet he learned this technique easier than the previous one. This was quite surprising to Smoker but he wasn't going to ask questions, this was probably the result of his potential speaking, the boy had unlimited potential it seemed. Evevytime he attempted at becoming stronger he grew stronger, it wasn't fast which made him a genious, but he was definately under the prodigy class.

The smoke than all formed into a little orb, it was a little orb yet there was so much smoke inside. The orb than formed into a human boy which resulted to Shō forming back into his human like self. Smoker clapped his hands, lowering his head he couldn't show or even tell the boy how proud he was of him. Shō knew how proud Smoker probably was, he saw him as the father he never really had. Of course the boy had a father but he was a good for nothing, he even drove Ariana his lost sister out of the house. He could never forgive his father but he never disrespected him, that was his father so its not like he was going to shun him just for what he did to the family. His family was the most important people of his life, this would probably never change.

Rake was once again out to sea. That tip of him going to east blue was truly a tip that had been paid of with great effort and knowledge. He knew that he got many good skills to use if the worst where to happen or anything else truly. He had met mermen and learned a new swords technique. He had reached some strange cat pirates and learned even more form them. Now he had reached the legendary pirate restaurant and learned how to use his legs in combat and deadly as well.
1 Sword Steep Slash 1-6
The sea was big and it was far to the next island and Rake was just sitting in his little one man ship. Well eh had a lot of food now and could really be able to survive for a long time at the sea. The chefs had been more then helpful to make him good, healthy, energizing food that lasted for a long time. Just what any sailor truly would need for any travel out at sea. Without food on the big sea was hell indeed. For the water could not be used to drink and there was no trees to pick fruit from.
1 Sword Steep Slash 2-6
To be at a shipwreck and slowly just see the days pass by on a log or something while drifting with no land close by. It was a matter of time until one died or got rescued by men or nature. One could do very little on his own at the sea. Yet now that would be the problem for Rake because he was smarten then going into a storm with this little boat. He would not allow the marines to win in such an easy way by him drowning in the sea. No he would stand tall.
1 Sword Steep Slash 3-6
Now he reached what seemed to be the island with the big town of Lougetown. It was still far away but Rake was on his way there and enjoyed some dried meat. He enjoyed the calm sound ff the waves slamming into the wood of his tiny vessel. Just as swordsman ship sailing was one of the greatest things of Rake's life. For it was calm and quiet, allowing Rake to have his rest that so often was taken from him. Now he would enjoy it all.
1 Sword Steep Slash 4-6
Any how soon his rest was taken away with the enormous sounds of a port. A big vessel was loading up for a travel which meant that many guys were screaming their very lungs out. It was so annoying but what could he do about it. He accepted that a port might be filled with many annoying people with annoyingly loud voices. Rake got his boat tied up in a corner and went to see the town where Gol D. Roger had been executed. It was a historical spot for all pirates.
1 Sword Steep Slash 5-6
Yet he never got so far because a woman stood in front of him and she seemed a bit stunned at first. She told him his name and asked why he was in Louguetown and not in the grandline. Rake asked who she was before he told her anything. She was a marine and would send him to jail. This evolved into that both drew their swords and stared down each other. Rake smiled and told her to bring all that she had. So she did and did an good attack that went through his body. After a while Rake learned how to sue the attack and did so but stopped before he could harm her.

Rake looked at the woman as both their swords was locked in tight and they looked at each closely. "What are you doing girl? You can't take me down and neither will you get me arrested. Why do you fight me when you face defeat? Don't you under stand the predicament you're in?" She stared back to him and answered Rake. "When my commander comes then you will see another tale but that will come as long as I can just hold you here and how long can you keep up?"
1 Sword Charge 1-7
This girl had some power and attitude which Rake liked but he was becoming irritated that he couldn't be able to reach the spot he wished for. The whole reason to come to East Blue indeed. Yet this marine was in his way but what could he do. "So your plan is to hold out against me? Rake Cane? The one who is able to cut through anything? Have you truly been able to think on what you say and what you wished for your self? It's more or less impossible."
1 Sword Charge 2-7
"Nothing is impossible just as long as you have the hart and a clear mind. Then all can be overtaken and even a logia user swordsman as your self, Pirate!" The woman kept Rake's b*****d sword in check and even if the woman looked mad Rake actually was smiling to the effort of this lade.
"I plan to keep you in check until we can get you stuck in a net and suck out your power. This will be the last travel for you and within time the Forte Pirates will all be taken down."
1 Sword Charge 3-7
Rake didn't know what to say about this woman beside the fact that she got balls and she was indeed a good swordsman to be able to maintain Rake's sword against her so that eh couldn't begin his b*****d sword style. He was maintain to the one sword style. Yet that would be fine enough to defeat this girl in time. All that Rake did now was prolong this in hope that he could pick some things up and why not wait to see what would happen if he stayed.
1 Sword Charge 4-7
"So let us say you get reinforcement. What will keep me from attacking them instead of you for you must have understood that I don't have to block your attacks in any way really. I can just let them all sink through me and that's why you need water or a sea stone. Yet this you seem to be having trouble getting out for if you had any then you would have used such already. You see the fact is that I've already won and I'm just waiting for you to use your techniques."
1 Sword Charge 5-7
Rake smiled as his words hit true in the face of the woman who had no poker face what so ever. Her emotions flew over every time and that was her Achilles heel indeed. Yet now Rake at least knew that nothing would take his force away for a long time and he doubted the guards would come running by a short alley such as this when so many was buying ships and things going on in a village such as this. He had won it was just a matter of time really.
1 Sword Charge 6-7
The girl pushed away from Rake and Rake begun to back away. Now it was all over and Rake could move towards the execution sight. He knew that he would need a way to cover his identity so that no one would recognize him when he was alone on his travels such as this one. Yet as he where to leave the young woman came at him with a sword attack that Rake couldn't block and it went through him. Rake moved away again and now he could see what she did and defended while learning a new technique.

Rake couldn't believe that this girl had so much power within those weak arms of hers. It was something indeed. What would she bring to the table next was indeed the question. Rake would be ready for this girl right now and as a swordswoman this was indeed a great one. Rake enjoyed this but he knew that he would have to leave within time. He needed to see Gol D. Rogers last spot in life and hit a great stream to knock him into the sky in a few days, nothing would be stopping that.
1 sword finisher 1-9
He knew of some techniques that he had missed last time he was up in the sky. One way to see attacks before they even landed. As if they knew what came to attack the user of that technique. That would truly be what could turn the events when fighting marines. He was a logia and just needed to see an attack coming to be able to escape it with no harm. To know when an unknown attack came at him would make him impossible to take down for any attacker.
1 sword finisher 2-9
Rake would find his way in time and would get up to the see in his little one man boat. He had been to the sky before and knew exactly how he would be able to do that. The knock up stream was an easy target to follow but hard to find. When one had used it once it was easy to use it twice. Yet he knew that he probably had to be going out for some camping in the forest and hunt some prey before he left for the sky the second time, to not talk about the grandline.
1 sword finisher 3-9
Rake knew that his captain would most likely be searching for the group again and to tell the truth Rake had no idea about the whereabouts of the Forte pirates. Yet within time they would all reappear because they where indeed nakama. A word that meant more then anything to a pirate. A hero of the sea kept his friends closer then anything else and nothing would break that bond. That was a promise between two people calling themselves nakama.

"Now please tell me what to do next now that I'm beginning to learn your techniques? The stronger moves you do the better I become and due tot he fact I need not care about blocking I can just study your movements which is what I do. Have you not under stood that running away will be the only way to life for you. At this point you haven't made me angry yet and I feel not to kill you where you stand. Yet if you keep on bothering me then I might just become angry and then you'll be dead."
1 sword finisher 5-9
Rake words was harsh but they where the truth about what was happening. Rake was just studying the girl ahead of him. Who she was he knew not but he knew that she was a marine for only a marine would attack a pirate straight away with no bigger reason then their false justice. A justice held by men who wanted their people to be scared of them and that was not true justice. If a man couldn't go to sea and travel where he wanted, to seek what they wanted with out being arrested then it was wrong.
1 sword finisher 6-9
Rake would not accept such an justice and the very reason for pirates where the marines. Did they not understand that without pirates their power would corrupt those who still weren't corrupted. It was prates that gave marines a goal and almost every big shot in the marines enjoyed a good life upon the poor peasant. His own history had been similar. The peasants on his island had worked so much only to give more then half of their own food the the marines.
1 sword finisher 7-9
What did the marines paid with? Nothing but weak and empty talk about the security form pirates and raids. Yet that kept on going even if they paid the marines. The marines where not something the people would need. They where the biggest pirate group with a double standard. Yet now the woman attack again to tell the truth Rake had no way to block the attack yet it did no damage what so ever. "Teach me that technique and I'll leave in an instant!"
1 sword finisher 8-9
The woman agreed not to do it but then Rake attacked the girl and she attacked him several times with various attack, which Rake blocked every time and kept pushing her backwards. Then the powerful attack came once again to take the last strength of the girl from her. Rake thanked her and told that eh would be on his way as soon as he could see the spot Gold Rogers died. This Rake did and it was a huge spot that was the monument of the beginning of this era.

Rake found his boat and left Lougetown just a the chaos begun. It seemed as if that nice woman had truly sound the alarm. Yet now he would vanish from their grasp and reach a whole new level.

Ben walked to Loguetown hearing some rumors that someone heard about his father and where he was right now. He spent some time walking around randomly looking for the person who saw his father and finally came to a dark back ally where noone was around and saw a man in a long coat standing against a wall and he turned his head towards Ben slowly looking him over. Ben started to walk closer to the man but he yelled out towards Ben. "Don't come any closer! Stay there."
Soul Force
1/6
"Your Ben Dreyan?" He said in a toned down voice. Ben took a step near the man trying to get a better look at him. "Yah. You heard about my father?" He said taking another step. "Yah." The man said turning to him and walking over to him till he was near him and stopped afew feet away from Ben. "What do you know about where my father is?" Ben raised his voice slightly at the man becoming impatient with his little games and how he was holding information back.
Soul Force
2/6
"I saw your father on an island." He said calmly and looked down to hide his identity. Ben raised an eyebrow slightly to how the man was stalling him there and started to question his honesty about him seeing his father. "On an island? And he was wearing a pair of yellow sunglasses? The ones he was famous for never taking off?" The man smiled and put his hands into his pockets nodding to Ben. "Yah, yah. He was. Walking around with those yellow shades. I couldn't forget those things."
Soul Force
3/6
Ben stepped closer to the man reaching into his own pocket and pulled out a pair of yellow sunglasses like the ones he describes to the man in one hand and grabbed the man by the collar pushing him up against the wall with his other hand. "You lie. He only had one pair he would ever wear and I have them. Who are you?!" Ben yelled slamming him against the wall again but then stopped and set him down feeling something sharp against his stomach. "Ben Dreyan. Bounty of over 600,000 Beli."
Soul Force
4/6
The man removed his hat looking Ben strait in the face and holding the cutlass against his body. "You see, Im a bounty hunter and I heard about you and your father and figured that you might fall for a trap if he was the bait." Ben looked down and his breathing picked up slightly and his eyes watered. "You...you...lied about my father. You got my hopes up that he might be alive." His body released a slight pressure for a moment that made the mans sword a little heavire for a second.
Soul Force
5/6
"Hey! Don't try nothin'!" Ben started to shake and looked back to the bounty hunter with rage filled and wet eyes. "How dare you lie about seeing him to me!" He clutched his fists and suddenly, a powerful force came around the area like a strong gravity. "What the-?" The man dropped his cutlass and fell to his knees. Ben's rage unleased his spirit in a wave that weakened everyone with weaker spirit. He picked the man up and glared at him. "Look! You better never do anything like this again ro you...WILL die." He threw the man down and walked off leaving him there still drained by his Haki.

After taking not even 2 steps out of the ally way and releasing his Haki grip, the area was sourounded by a gang of bounty hunters and he stopped looking around at them all. "Can I help you?" He said tugging slightly at his gloves. One of the men spoke up swinging his sword in the air. "What did you do to our boss?! We'll kill you! AAHHH~!!" They all cried out and closed in on Ben. He simply smiled and pulled his gloves off wrapping them up and putting them into his pockets. "I have no time for this so sorry if I don't hold back."

"You arrogant-!" Two men suddenly charged in towards Ben swinging their cutlass' at him and he looked around then at teh two who were charging him and jumped back kneeling down and slammed his hand on the ground repeling a shockwave across the ground knocking most of the men down and off balance then looked up onto the buildings and saw three men with pistols taking aim at him. The fired at him and he swung his hand in the air knowing that he couldn't repel them all and somehow repeled all three bullets.

"Huh?" Ben looked at the slight wave of air in his path and smiled just learning what he did. "Oh, think we got a new move on my hands and a name for it too." He looked back up to teh three pistol men holding his hand back and swung his hand across his body aiming his palm towarsd them. "Pad Wave!" He repeled a wave of air from his palm that resembled a paw pad but it was much wider and it knocked all three marksman down. "I know that might come in handy. Heh." He then walked past the men and back to the docks.

Though as Ben walked towards the docks he would be intercepted by Cindy, clad in her usual gear, white trench coat and whatnot. In her hands she had her new rifle, other wise known as Uprising Justice. She would catch him right at the outskirts of the town. "Shell Fiend!" Cindy yelled out in a very strong dominant voice. "You are wanted for several acts of piracy and various other crimes against the World Government, will you come peacefully?" Cindy knew the answer to that, she always knew the answer to that.

Ben looked at Cindy as she stood there with her rifle and made the usual navy type threat to a pirate. He just stood there looking at her for afew seconds then responded back. "Your right. I've done wrong. Take me to jail fro I have sinned." He held his arms out like he was about to be cuffed then turned slightly. "Oh wait. I don't care. I don't have time for this right now Cindy, ok? Maybe some other time." He smiled at her.

Cindy chuckled at Ben, she loved his personality, he was a generally great. It was a shame that he was a pirate. "Well Ben, you see, it doesn't work like that." With that said she pointed rifle directly at Ben and said "Now I'll only repeat myself once more, will you come peacefully?" Cindy hated to do this to Ben but it was job as a Navy Vice Admiral.

Ben pulled out his Sun and Storm Pistols twirling them on his fingers then took a grip of them holding both down to his sides. "Can any of us truely 'come peacefully'? If we come against our will in a peaceful manor, our heas will be restless. Only by not coming are we truely peaceful. Not that Im saying it is impossiable for anyone to or your ability to rationalize what the action of being peacful is. I am simply saying that coming peacefully is something that some people cannot do. Such as me. You see?" He rubbed his pistol against his chin and made a distinguished expression on his face.

Cindy sighed lightly and said "That is the choice you make then I suppose." and with said she decided to start this battle off by making life that much harder for him. She aimed into her scope and fired off a shot as quick as she could. She using the move "Scope Shot" aimed directly at his left leg. Should move work his leg would be near useless to him. They were both about fifty feet away from each other at this point.
