Taro walked up the stairs of the Clockwork tower not really knowing whime he was going but whimever he was going, he was getting thime. he soon reached a floor with black and white tiles that made the room look like a giant chess board and looked around walking into the room. “Who are you?” A voice called out from nowhime echoing through the room. Taro looked around trying to see who spoke but couldn’t see anyone. “Who am I? Who are you? Thim isn’t tea time so stop being a girl and show yourself you panzy.” In an instant a strange man dressed like a weird clown appeared in front of him and gave him a hard glare. “You can call me Pin Joker…and now you must die."
Joker Illusion
1/7
Taro raised an eye brow thinking that thim guy didn’t look strong in the least and tilted him head as he waved him hand a little. “Whatever you say Needle Clown.” Pin Joker jumped a little and yelled at Taro pointing at him. “IT’S PIN JOKER!!” he then reached on him belt and pulled out a rapier sword and got into a fighting stance. “Prepare yourself.” he then vanished for but a second then appeared next to him and swung him sword at him head. he leaned to the side and rolled over getting some distance between him and Joker. “What was that move. You gotta teach me that one Spike Mime.” Joker then got a look of disgust on him face as he yelled once again at him. “NO I WILL NOT TEACH YOU AND IT’S PIN JOKER!!!” Taro stood up getting into a fighting stance. “Fine, I’ll teach myself.”
Joker Illusion
2/7
he quickly dashed in rearing him fist back as he ran in for a punch but when he threw it, Joker dodged easily. he then threw a kick at him head and again Joker leaned back and dodged easily. “Huh?” Taro then jumped back to the wall and then he ran at Joker again and let lose a fury of random punches and kicks at Joker but he eithim dodged the hit or used him rapier do block it so Taro stopped and stood back a moment. “Ok, I’ll admit. Your pretty good Thorn Jester.” Joker came back with a loud tone. “PIN JOKER!!” he then spread him arms out to him sides and laughed out loud. A wave of sharp quills then shot out of the fur on him upper body towards Taro and he tried to jump to get out of the way but about 8 of them hit him in him legs and he stumbled to the side getting to him feet. “Huh? What was that? It didn’t even really hurt you…uuhhh…” he fell to the ground on him butt and sweated a little trying to figure out what was wrong. “What happened? I-I can’t move my legs.”
Joker Illusion
3/7
Joker laughed and pointed him rapier at the temporary immobilized Taro swishing it around a little. “Those needles weren’t ordinary needles. They were tipped with a temporary paralyzing poison and now killing you will be that much easier.” Taro gritted him teeth and tried to scoot backwards away from Joker. “You’re a sick man. I’ll never lose to a man like you Quill Comedian.” Joker flailed around in a fit of anger and pouted a bit. “Pin Joker, Pin Joker, Pin Joker!! Come on!! It’s not that hard to remember!! Now it’s time to die…Joker Illusion!” Joker then raised one foot and vanished in an instant again and appeared above Taro with him rapier aimed down at him. Joker thrusted towards him and surprisingly enough, Taro dodged it by doing a hand stand and countered by spinning around on him hands swinging him legs at him as a kick that knocked him away. “I think I got it now.” he remembered every detail of what Joker did before he vanished and wanted to test it out.
Joker Illusion
4/7
Taro stood up slowly as he still didn’t have all the feeling in him legs back but he felt them enough to manage for now seeing as the toxin was wearing off now. he smiled as Joker stood thime in a defensive stance. Without any warning, he threw a punch in the air and hung him arms to him sides then imitated what he saw Joker do. he raised him foot and turned slightly then dashed at Joker. Joker was caught off guard and let him defense down for a moment but instead of vanishing, Taro only flickered and dashed at Joker so the attack was predictable and Joker easily evaded the hit stepping to the side. “Almost…” Taro slid to a stop and looked back at Joker as he was rushing him with him rapier.
Joker Illusion
5/7
Joker ran up to Taro and jabbed him sword at him which he dodged by jumping in the air then he followed by also jumping up and swashing him rapier at him franticly. Taro pulled off some terrific aerial dodging until Joker pulled out anothim blade and cut Taro on him side. he landed a distance from Joker and examined him wound. It wasn’t serious but it did hurt and at thim rate he knew he would lose until he realized that he could feel him legs completely again. he looked up at Joker as he also landed and looked at him confidently moving a little. “Alright. Thim is it Rainbow Pants.” Joker’s eyes burned with anger and he yelled as loud as he could at Taro again. “COME ON!! THAT WAS THE WORST GUESS YET!!” Taro glared at the outraged Joker and slowly raised one leg as he was about to attempt the Joker Illusion.
Joker Illusion
6/7
Taro raised him leg and twisted slightly vanishing right before Joker and appearing in front of him in an instant. “Wha?! But how…?!” Joker was caught completely off guard by him own technique as Taro appeared in front of him with him fist reared back. “You piss me off clown!!” Taro flew at Joker and punched him square in the face and the after shock of the attack knocked Joker back sending him flying into a wall and crashing to the ground. Taro then walked around a little to get the feeling back into him legs completely. “Your pretty good Spear Jokester. Not navy good but good. We should do thim again some time.” Taro walked back to the stairs leaving the clock tower.

Jeez.. It had taken nearly all day to climb Clockwork Island, trekking across the giant screw to reach the top. Ryoko felt that it would have taken her much longer, if she hadn't spent half of the trip alternating between running and jogging. She felt somewhat stiff at reaching the top, but she sighed contentedly. She reached down for her toes lazily, stretching her legs, before turning to look down over the edge of the island. The thin air stretched on for lengths unmeasured, the clouds rose below like a sheep herd grazing on a hill. I would hate to fall from this height. She turned and looked the other way, at the island stretching before her, and walked forward. Now she was simply sightseeing, the sky-high island had caught her attention from afar.
Rapier Style 1/6
Her hands clenched and unclenched in anticipation, she had no idea what resided on this island. Her sword hand strayed down and drew her cutlass as she walked, better armed than sorry. She walked along, her feet kicking at the dirt. A sound, off to her right, echoed through her hearing, and she perked up. So this island isn't unhabited. Ryoko quickly observed her surroundings, looking for a place to slink from sight. Her observations quickly brought her to a sprawling tree, its branches offering plenty of shade to cater to her wishes to hide. In a moment's time, she had tucked her cutlass away and was up in the tree, situated comfortably among the shadows- where she belonged.
Rapier Style 2/6
Ryoko's sharp eyes scanned the ground, watching carefully for the creator of the noise to come into focus. An odd man crossed the grounds around the base of her tree- tall, face painted in the manner of a joker, or a clown, thin rapier held in hand. Perhaps she was allured to the area by the noises she was making, she wasn't exactly being as sneaky as she could be, walking across the island. She paused under the tree, looking around. Ryoko shifted gently, to avoid sending bark showering down on her head. Her hand wrapped around her cutlass, readying it to leap down on her head in her the 1 Sword Slicer technique. She shifted once more, readying herself for the leap, before finally pushing off, plummeting down toward her head. It looked as though her silent antics would have him, she would be down..
Rapier Style 3/6
Ryoko's cutlass tip buried into the dirt. She hissed in irritation, wrapping her hands around the hilt to pull her cutlass free. How did she miss that? She felt the point of cold metal at her throat, and her lips pulled into an irritated frown. She looked up at the man she had tried attacking. "Ambush a man while she's not looking, eh? You must be some sort of miserable coward." the Pin Joker smirked, she could hear the laughter in her voice. "Or a decent assassin." she spat back, ripping her cutlass upright and slinging dirt as a consequence. Metal clanged against metal, and the Pin Joker took a defensive stance, nearly dancing on her toes as she gracefully blocked each swing Ryoko took at him.
Rapier Style 4/6
"You look absolutely gay doing that." Ryoko smirked. But she was still watching the way she handled her rapier, the skill was allowing him to block most of her swings and she deemed it worthy of picking up. Metal on metal, she can't keep this up long. Ryoko bit her lip slightly, slinging hard and forcing her cutlass against her rapier. The swing jarred her arm, giving her enough time to slam her cutlass into the ground and swing her body around into a Bounty Kick. Her feet never met the Pin Joker, and instead she landed on her feet again. What the heck?! she said in a panic, she had been there a second ago. She turned to pull her cutlass up quickly, and looked back. She was there again. "How is that possible?" she blinked, soaking in everything. If she wished to be a good assassin, she needed to pick up as many sneaky moves as she could.
Rapier Style 5/6
"Anything's possible. You just lack the intellect to do those things." Pin Joker smirked, perhaps payback for the earlier shot at him looking gay. Or maybe she was just vindictive. She slung her cutlass downright, cutting down with pure force, irritated at the comment but venting her agitation out through her fighting. She stepped lightly to one side, and she unexpectedly swung upwards again, her blow grazing dangerously close to her hand clasped on the hilt. She hopped back, taking a moment to check over her rapier. "You really are a little backstabber, aren't you? There's no honor among you backstabbers." she said disdainfully. "Hey. My kind isn't known for fighting clean." she said, sticking her tongue out at him. She had picked up all she needed to know about that defensive stance, now, for that disappearing trick..

Ryoko racked her brain with ways to get Pin Joker to perform the disappearing trick again, and finding a way to pick up on the skill. This had become increasingly hard, since she had seemingly picked up a sudden wish to be rid of her and was attacking her. She blocked, and counterattacked, mixing previously learned mannerisms and some of the technique she had just recently picked up from him. "Thank you." she said, smirking, stabbing and slashing with her rapier. "What for? For making your flaws painfully obvious?" Ryoko said bitterly, dancing to one side and swinging her cutlass at her left shoulder.
Joker Illusion 1/7
She seemingly disappeared, before her eyes, and she blinked. In that moment's time she had reappeared. However, her cutlass had swung to the side in surprise and had missed him completely. "They always have said imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." she laughed, an annoying sound that made Ryoko want to slice her windpipe clear off just to shut him up. She aimed to do so, she had to make him disappear again. She wasn't grasping how she did it. But she simply dodged to one side and blocked with her rapier, sliding the thin sword along hers to create a screeching noise, of metal on metal.
Joker Illusion 2/7
With that she stabbed forward, blocked, then swung at her head. Ryoko allowed it to graze her head, before trying out Playing Dead for the first time.. crumpling with a strangled groan, hitting the ground with a dull thud. Pin Joker chortled, voicing her pleasure. After I pick up your technique I'm going to run you through.. Ryoko thought angrily, though she knew she wouldn't. There was a moment of silence, and the ground nearby shuffled. Ryoko knew her opponent wasn't stupid, she'd wonder how she had killed her with such a light blow, and she'd investigate.
Joker Illusion 3/7
She counted time out in her head, pushing herself off the ground at three, leaping forward, cutlass first. She had caught him slightly off guard, in enough time to force him to step back and do her disappearing act. She watched intently, catching a few signs in the second. her shadow merely faded.. the ground where her feet used to stand still held the light imprint, she was still there. So how does she turn invisible for the split second? She had come back, and she swung at him, engaging him in swing and block, swing and block combat, giving her time to ponder what it was exactly she was doing to make him disappear.
Joker Illusion 4/7
She laughed, she was pleased- either she knew what she was trying to do, or she was just amused that she wasn't as dangerous as she could be. She slid to her right, swinging at her side, then swung to her left, swinging at her shoulder. She blocked the shot at her right, but couldn't get the rapier around fast enough to block the shot at the left. Her cutlass grazed her shoulder, and she smirked in triumph. "This 'miserable coward' is getting the better of you." she laughed, in a mocking manner. Pin Joker growled, she was getting on her nerves and she knew it. She launched forward, attacking her with a renewed violence and speed. She was trying to prove her absolutely wrong.
Joker Illusion 5/7
Ryoko blocked and parryed, attack after attack, her arms were getting tired at the speed Pin Joker was making them move. She swung low, down at her legs, and as a spurr of the moment action, she planted a palm firmly against one of her shoulders and locked her arm. When she stood up again she was sent into the air, high enough to set her up for another 1 Sword Slicer. She came down, burying the sword into the ground. She had disappeared, once again, but reappeared a moment later. her sleeve was ripped, and very slightly bloodstained. It was confirmed. She hadn't moved at all. She had simply slipped from her attention long enough to make it seem like she had disappeared.
Joker Illusion 6/7
As Ryoko turned to pull her cutlass from the ground, Pin Joker came at her with anger, meaning to drop all of her fancy rules of fighting and simply run her through. She turned, quickly executing how she though her Joker Illusion should work. her rapier sliced past her arm, cutting it, but by the confused look on her face, she knew she had succeeded. She laughed, a lighthearted laugh, as she pulled her cutlass from the ground and simply ran. "How's that, an assassin just stole your technique!" she sand back mockingly, running along the brush. The sounds of her fury from far back just caused her laughs to ring all the louder. After "training" with the joker, any wish to further explore the island disappeared.. maybe it was time to find out what happened to Sammy and Johnny.

Adriel was walking, dog-tired, towards port when Pin Joker harrassed her.
"Too good to stop and do some training, Adriel? I always thought you were a little too stuck up for your own good!"
"You think alot of things, PJ." Adriel teased. "I don't have time for this today."
She continued walking, ignoring Pin Joker as he followed her.
(1/7 Joker's Illusion)
"Of course not. You never have time for anything useful."
"Say that to me when I'm healing you after that little illusion of yours fails to keep you out of harm's way!"
"Of course, sweetheart!"
"Don't call me that, PJ."
"Why not? You aren't...offended-are you?"

Adriel stopped walking and dropped her bag on the ground.
"Alright, PJ! let's get this over with."
"That's what I like to hear! You're a girl with spirit!" At this, Adriel's eyes narrowed and she took a shot at his stomach.
"You've gotta do better than that!" Pin Joker had evaded her using his illusion.
(3/7 Joker's Illusion)
Adriel turned to take another hit but felt Pin Joker jab his hand playfully at her side.
"You know adriel, I think you've put on some weight!" He stayed still just long enough for her to see him wink, and then vanished abruptly before she could land a blow.
"Well, maybe I'm just pregnant."
(4/7 Joker's Illusion)
"Pregnant?" Pin Joker paused to see if she was lying, only to be struck forcefully in the lungs before he could dodge again. Adriel took a second shot but her fist flew through empty air.
"Ha! Very nice, Adriel! But you won't land another hit on me today!"
"What's that, PJ? Intimidated by a girl?
(5/7 Joker's Illusion)
"No! I'm never intimidated by girsl! But a woman-that's another matter entirely!" He dodged another shot from Adriel
"Oh, so I'm glad to see your not so discriminating after all."
"I'm not a typical man, to be honest."
"You sure about that?"

"Of course I am! You question me?"
"I actually think you're the exact kind of man I've been looking for." Adriel flitted her eyelashes shamelessly. Pin Joker's eyes lit up.
"Of course I-" Adriel struck him on the back right between the vertebrae, having flawlessly imitated the Joker's Illusion move he had been harrassing her with. "Not fair! You used my own move!"
"Of course I did! Would anything else be as satisfying?" She leaned and pecked the man on the cheek.
"I'll see you later, PJ! I hope you have a different move for me tomorrow." With that, she walked off and left Pin Joker to laugh at his own gullibility.

Bontenmaru had arrived in Clockwork Island a few days ago, it was a well known fact amongst the towns folk that he was a pirate, but they never let on this fact to the Marines who had taken over the island. Bontenmaru took to living in many different houses, with each of them being registered under different names, thus he could move around these without being identified. But sence he had bought himself a boat, he had no need for these and he sold them off for cheap, which came to be how he got his boat money. Before he was to leave Clockwork Island for the first time, he decided that a visit to Bear King and his siblings was in order.
1/7 - Joker Illusion
From his time in Clockwork Island, Bontenmaru had seen many a pirate appear in the town and make his way up to the tower where Bear King dwelled. Word amongst the town people had been that the man named Pin Joker had a peculiar technique that allowed him to disappear and then reappear in the blink of an eye. This technique seemed very much like something that would help Bontenmaru when he finally took to venturing out into the seas. He had only ever been to the tower once and was promptly thrown out by the trick stairs that disappeared and transformed into a slope. He would not fall to that trick this time.
2/7 - Joker Illusion
Contrary to what he thought, Bontenmaru did fall at the stairs once again and another time after that. He refused to give up just because of some stairs, he swept his hair back and ran up the stairs as quickly as his legs would take him. He heard the sound of the mechanism that caused the stairs to transform, he sped up and jumped up onto the window sill, due to the lack of glass he was able to stand firmly in the gap. He knew that these pirates could easily be outsmarted and he promptly made a sound like that of a man falling and hitting the floor, then he hit his hand against the rock to make a worthy mimic of the man hitting the floor. This signalled a rather oddly sounding laughing, like some French aristocrat, a smile on his face only made wider by the stairs being transformed back into their intended state.
3/7 - Joker Illusion
Bontenmaru leapt from the window sill in an over-exaggerative manner, swinging his arms out as he flew through the air and landed on the stairs, it was his idea to make as little noise as possible but that landing had destroyed every chance of that happening. A loud noise was made as soon as Bontenmaru fell to the floor, in slow motion you could have seen the moment when his face realised how idiotic he had been jumping down, he didn't have a chance to jump back onto the windsill, the stairs had already changed into the slopes and Bontenmaru started to slide down. He attempted to grab ahold of anything he could find, he made a small jump for the windowsill and fell flat against it, holding on only by the tips of his fingers, he let out another wail hoping it would put the Pin Joker off again.
4/7 - Joker Illusion
He was right, or so he thought. Pin Joker did transform the stairs back into its original form, but he didn't leave. Bontenmaru ran up the stairs and into the doorway, running straight into the main chamber only to find it empty. He clenched his fist and pulled out two quills from his bag, something wasn't right and Bontenmaru knew that. It was true, as Bontenmaru turned his head to the left he saw the point of a rapier cut through the air and scraped past his cheek. He jumped backwards to see Pin Joker leaping towards him, his arm outsretched in an attempt to attack this invader of towers. "And you are?" he asked, moving his hand backwards across his hair.
5/7
Bontenmaru felt a few beads of sweat drip down from his forehead, it was a close shave. He hopped back a few steps to see Pin Joker fully "My name is Bontenmaru 'Ruler of the World.' A man of the seas" he said, holding onto two of the quills he had bought in the armoury. Pin Joker smiled and swept his hair back again with his hand. "I see, well, you sir Bontenmaru are tresspassing upon the home of our lord Bear King. You shall die now!" Pin Joker said, as he ran towards him, his rapier pointed at him. Bontenmaru swung his bokken, wooden sword, at him only to find him gone, only for a second he had fallen out of his line of sight, he turned his head to the right as he heard a small but distinct sound of the rapier cutting through the air. Bontenmaru jumped back again and struck Pin Joker's arm.
6/7
Pin Joker, cried out as he saw the bokken slam unto his arm, he pulled away almost as quickly as Bontenmaru had slamed it onto his arm. He seemed scared of something so small, he looked at it to see only blood on it. Pin Joker looked up at Naoki and burst out laughing. "You came to this tower with nothing but some wooden sword? Shameful!" Pin Joker said then attempted to attack Bontenmaru again who ducked down to avoid the attack, he couldn't afford to be injured, he had just analysed the technique, it was enough to see it twice. Now all he had to do was escape, but Pin Joker was in the way. He took a deep breath, then kicked off into a run, Pin Joker retaliated and he too ran towards Bontenmaru, who jumped up as he neared the Joker and pushed off the Pin Jokers head causing him to fall to the floor and clear the doorway, as he ran closer he stuck his arm out to pull the lever down and break off the stick so the slide would stay in that form.
Naoki slid all the way down to the bottom of the tower and back into the town, he had succeded in scaling Clockwork Tower. With this, he left the town to get to his ship.
7/7 - Joker Illusion - Complete.
He soon after left, on his way to the north blue.

Adriel approached Pin Joker and he smirked.
"Back for more, eh?" He chuckled darkly. "I have a special treat for you today."
"I'm sure you do. If you didn't, I'd be disappointed. After all, a smart, clever man like you-"
"Stop there! I'm not listening to THAT again!"
(1/6 Poison Quills)
Pin Joker grabbed a quill and tossed it, landing it perfectly in Adriel's right leg.
"Ouch! What was that for?"
"Didn't you understand me darling? I said I have a special treat for you!" Noticing the lack of feeling in her leg, Adriel removed the quill and tossed it back at Pin Joker.
(2/6 Poison Quills)
Pin Joker dodged, laughing at Adriel's slowing reflexes.
"Well, girl-did you think you would get out of this? After all, I did say I would give you a treat!" Adriel's eyes flashed darkly as she snatched a handful of quills and tossed them at Pin Joker.
"So close!" Pin Joker dodged the attack easily.
(3/6 Poison Quills)
"I...I..." Adriel stuttered, her consciousness slowly slipping away.
"You what?" Pin Joker taunted.
"I need to tell you something." She managed. "Its about the shipwright. He's been making deals with..." Her voice trailed off.
"Deals with who?" Pin Joker shook her in an attempt to keep her awake.
(4/6 Poison Quills)
"Deals with..."Adriel swallowed. "Bear King. The deals were for..."
"What are the deals FOR?" Pin Joker was clearly becoming frustrated.
"For..." Adriel lost consciousness completely and Pin Joker shook his head angrily. Just when he was about to let go of her and leave her in the fields until she woke up, Adriel stopped her faked unconsciousness and snatched a handful of quills from him, plunging them into his chest in a circle around his heart.
(5/6 Poison Quills)
"You think that will stop me?" Pin Joker laughed, swallowing back a wave of pain. "You're wrong! I'm immune to the poison quills!"
"Of course you are, Adriel rolled away from him and Pin Joker found he could not pursue her.
"I simply placed the quills where they would cut off the nerves which allow your legs to move until you remove them. See you later, PJ!" Pin Joker curled his nose and then began pulling himself towards the nearest bystanders to help him into port for healing.
(6/6 Poison Quills)

Entering Clockwork island Jesbero wondered around with a feeling of hopeless, and he thought," All that training with Gecko for nothing my fruit was stolen from me, but sadly when I find that person I'll make sure he feels my wrath." Jesbero then calmly sat down next to a woman, and he said out loud," I really need help I'm so stressed out, and I'm afraid of what will come after me next." The woman next to Jesbero then turned, and said," You know if you wish I can help you with your troubles all I ask is let me help me." Jesbero nodded, and said," That would be great." The woman smiled and said," I am the Priestess Maya, and you are?" Jesbero said," I'm Jesbero Crowley." She smiled and said well come with me."
Spiritual calm 1/6
While walking with the priestess towards the designation they were heading to Jesbero said," So how will you help me?" The priestess said," During battle people always rely on their bodies, because they think that the most strongest, fastest or even the most biggest is always the man to win. In all honesty that is fiction nothing more then a lie. The most strongest man is the one who is calm, is not angered easily or not even angered at all. And out of all can take pain. If during a battle a man is struck and they feel like it's nothing they can easily push forwards. If they feel like it's unbearable then the man would simply show weakness. Though if a man shows they can stand pain then they will prove to be the best."
Spiritual Calm 2/6
Jesbero understood what he priestess was speaking about, and he then said," So what else is there?" Maya smiled, and said," Not really anything else. I am going to help you train your mind, because in all honesty I can tell you're just a body person. If you would let me I will be able to teach you or more of show you how to lesson the pain and show you that if your mind is put in a position of calm and peace one can overcome any trouble or blockade with simplicity. All I want is for you to trust me throughout your training." Jesbero nodded, and said," Don't worry I will obey anything you wish for me to do?" Jesbero bowed as they approached their destination.
Spiritual Calm 3/6
Appearing at the Buddhist temple Jesbero and Maya approached the gates where she was let in, but not Jesbero Maya then said," Jesbero to overcome your first task I wish for you to break through the gates without throwing a punch or kick." Jesbero thought he would use his doppleman, but that was gone, so he took his impact gauntlet, and said," Impact." After saying Impact Jesbero smiled knowing that the gates flew right open, and Jesbero said," It's a impact dial I shot out a force of energy from the gauntlet not my fist." Maya smiled, and said," Come in." After walking in she said," Ok now for your next task. Sit and with your legs crossed." Jesbero did as Maya said," And then five buddhist monks arrived with staffs, and Maya said," It will hurt, but I want you to concentrate on not passing out or dieing."
Spiritual Calm 4/6
Maya went to safety, and Jesbero closed his eyes, and took deep breathes. Maya then said," When you're ready Jesbero tell me." Jesbero took a fourth deep breath, and then said," Please you may help me." Maya smiled and then said," Begin." The men with their staffs began striking Jesbero's shoulders, chest, back, and sides though the pain was unbearable, and Jesbero wanted to pass out he fought it all Jesbero thought was," Push, Push, Push get through this and you'll be fine." Maya then said," Put your backs into it." The monks struck harder but Jesbero still took the pain.
Spiritual Calm 5/6
Jesbero then after two hours of being struck didn't pass out or die, and Maya said," That's enough he did well." Walking down Maya helped Jesbero up, and said," Good job you were great." Jesbero bowed, and said," Thank you I hope I was ok." Maya smiled,and said," You were amazing." Jesbero smirked, and said," Well I tried my best." Jesbero then said," So was that all my training?" Maya smiled and said," You think I would let you go that early, because I have another thing to teach you." Jesbero was curious and he said," Please explain the details I would love for you to."
Spiritual Calm 6/6

Maya said," Well this may be very hard to explain, but people have mindsets where you set yourself on something, and sometimes people use these mindsets to help them complete a goal, win a fight or even get a job. Though the mindset I am going to teach you to get in will let you reduce pain to the point where a slash to the chest will feel like that of a butter knife. Where a bullet to your gut will feel like being shot with a pebble instead." Jesbero nodded ,and said," Though this seems like it will be bad." Maya nodded and said," Yes when one is in this mod set they see themselves as a god or immortal and tend to get cocky. Look many I've taught this to have died in battle or from the training."

The priestess Maya continued her speech, and said," The reason for their deaths is, because they do not remember the fact that even though their mind isn't feeling the extend of the damage their body is, so you must know and promise me this. During the training I want you to focus on not feeling pain, but at the same time know that you still are as fragile as you still are, and not a god." Jesbero nodded and said," Do not worry priestess I will make sure that your worries will not be revealed as what is true." Jesbero then walked back out into the arena where the monks were, and they held their sharp bamboo staffs out, and Jesbero then took his Violet stance, and said," My body may not be steel anymore and my shadow may not fight, but you know damn right I am still strong."

Jesbero then closed his eyes, and kept his stance, and he then entered a dimension in his mind where he stood in front of himself, and Jesbero said to Jesbero," Do you understand what will go on in the future?" Jesbero nodded, and said," I will be fighting these monks." Jesbero's mind nodded and said," No you will be going up against other fruit users be them Marines or pirates, but you must know that this next fruit you get will be the last I will accept you to have. If you discard it I swear that if you eat another one I will leave you, and forever you will be that of a fighter with no soul."

Jesbero nodded, and said," You have been good to me. You've shown that I do not need these abilities to fight, and you've shown me that some things I've never needed to lose. I want you to know you're a good person mind, and I just want you to do your best to help me by keeping myself from losing the sense of mortality." Jesbero's mind nodded, and said," You shall have my word that I will make sure you are ok, but it is you the soul's willpower that keeps me going, and I want you to know that without you I am useless and without me you are useless as well. Do me a favor and make sure never to forget I am here to back you up." Jesbero nodded and then said," But one question? If you know that the next fruit of mine is the last then what is it?"

Jesbero's mind shook his head, and said," I cannot for see the future or can I tell you what will happen to you next, but what I can tell you is that this fruit will be what fits your perfectly what you've been looking for all this time. This fruit is what will push you to where you need to go. Help you exceed more then any other pirate, and like a sun you shall shine bright throughout the sky, and no one will never look at you again without knowing your name." Jesbero smiled, and said," Thank you very much mind. You've helped me see that I am myself, and I hope this fruit is what I really am supposed to have. I just want you to know that this may be a tough battle, but I hope together we will last through it."

Jesbero opened his eyes and then felt the mindset he felt like he was enlighten. Jesbero then said calmly," Come at me." One monk want and threw his staff upon Jesbero's shoulder. Jesbero took the hit, and his shoulder felt nothing but the feeling of a staff on his shoulder. Jesbero then performed Savage elbow and struck the monk in his chest. Jesbero then began to punk, kick, and perform his techniques on the other monks, and after being struck eleven times Jesbero said," That didn't feel like anything, but still I know the pain of eleven strikes from you monks. Thank you for using your bodies to fight me." Jesbero saw they knew what he had learned so his attacks meant nothing to them."

Maya walked down, and smiled at Jesbero and said," Thank you so much for completing your promise, so how was it like?" Jesbero said," My soul talked to my mind. I felt it's pain, it's thoughts, and why it exists. My soul has willpower, strength, and the power to exceed, but my mind it has the power to push the willpower out of me, to express strength and use my power to exceed the goals my soul wishes to exert." Maya smiled ,and said," That means you're a true fighter. Only those who are true fighters show themselves as two separate beings while normally people are one being fighters are able to see their mind and spirit as two separate things." Jesbero said," Well I hope I am. Though you are a great teacher Maya, and well I am sorry, but from now on you'll have to remember me." Maya said," A warrior like you will always be remembered by me." Jesbero smiled and said," I am no warrior I'm a pirate." Jesbero then left to the west blue port.
