4 Early Training Part 2
======================================================
"My beginner armament and observation haki is 10% complete. It seems like for every 1 metre increases in range increases the completion by 1%. and the training with two Bokken Wood Swords too", He analyzed.
Now Jack is finally ready to explore the forest. He picked up the two Bokken Wood Swords as a weapon and approached the forest carefully. It was dark with little moonlight and he cannot see anything clearly with his eyes. So activates observation Haki all the time as he approaches the outskirts of the forest.
He was just an average person on Earth but here he have survival skills, it can make a bonfire but it will attract more beasts, he knows which plants are edible and which plants are not and he knows how to hunt small beasts.
It was even darker inside the forest. After walking for some time he heard the sound of flowing water. He walk in that direction and saw a small stream. He was very thirsty since he had not drank anything since morning. He rush to drink water from the stream. When he was a metre away from the stream he sensed some movement from front, so he jump to his side on instinct. A snake jumped out of the grass and just missed his leg. The snake tried to jump again. He then defended with his left and slash his right Wood Sword at the snake and by a stroke of incredible luck the sword hit the head of the snake just as it jump up. The head of the snake was crushed but its tail was still moving.
Jack was breathing heavily. After the adrenalin had worn off, Jack realizes how close he was to death and his body was drenched in cold sweat. If the snake was poisonous he would have died since he didn't have any antidote. And if by some miracle he survived the poison, he would have starved to death.
Now he became even more careful. He checked if there were any creatures hidden in the water before he drank it. After quenching his thirst he walks along the riverbank to search for any fruit trees. After walking for some distance he found some bananas, apples and pineapples trees with ripe of then. He ate some fruits. till he was full and collected some more stacks of 10x to put in the inventory for another meal.
He roamed around the outskirts of the forest to find a safe place to rest a little but he did not find any. So he returns to the Mountain Bandit's Hideout.
"Tomorrow I will search for a bottle or two to store water to put in my inventory", he laid down on the bed and fall asleep.
The next morning Jack woke up feeling fresh and warm but the body all numb.The sun has not yet risen but it was not dark either. There was a warm glow coming from the horizon which brightened the island.
Yesterday he was tired and exhausted because of the training that he falls asleep the moment he laid down on the bed. He tried to move his body but it responded to him slowly. He picked himself up after some struggling. He looked at the horizon and saw the warm glow and it brightens his mood. He did some stretching exercises to warm up his body.
With newfound determination Jack started running on the forest, he ran barefoot. The floor shook with every step he took. Small stone pieces pricked on his feet but he endured it. He tried to focus all his spirit and willpower on his feet so that he can run faster. Gradually a thin grey color began to appear on his feet. The small stone fragments were crushed under his feet. His speed became faster and faster. As he ran faster and faster, his determination to be strong became stronger and stronger. He ran and ran until he reached a cliff where the sea water strikes the island. He stands on the edge of the cliff and shouted at the sea,
"I don't want to be a nobody who can be crushed by anyone. I want to be someone who can strike fear into the Marines and the world government. I want to behead those who mess with me and with my loved ones. I want to drift on the sea and visit all those beautiful islands. I want to carve my path in this world. I WANT TO BE THE STRONGER !!!" .
A powerful blast of Conqueror Haki burst from his body when he shouted. The wave of the conqueror haki covers the whole island. All the weak animals on the island directly fainted and all the strong animals bow their head to show their submission.
Jack was still looking at the sea. He was happy that he awakened his armament Haki and conquer Haki. But he didn't take rest. He continues doing physical exercises that he remember of the manga and anime physical exercises training ONE PUNCH MAN Saitama's Training Menu: 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats and 10 km every single day for three years and the manga e anime Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple Jujitsu Master and Doctor Kouetsuji Akisame's "Pink" Muscle Training Menu: lots of weight with little repetition and little weight with lots of repetition 40 seconds of rest after each repetition. he started with Saitama's menu 10 Km.
After making the training menu of Saitama he sought some small stones and large stones to make the second training menu
After running 10 Km He laid flat on the ground as he feels his arms and legs shaking. He was breathing heavily and his body was covered in sweats. After resting for 40 seconds and take some water he started doing squats again till he cannot stand anymore. He cannot feel his legs so he laid down on his back rests 40 seconds take some water again and started doing sit-ups till he can feel his abs burning. After finishing this he takes rest for 80 seconds and then he started the second menu exercising with the rocks rests 80 seconds and starts from the beginning again and again till he cannot move a muscle.
When he finished his morning exercise he dragged his tired body to a shadow of a tree he then takes out the water containers of the inventory and gulps down all the waters. He also ate some banana and apple meal.
After eating, the rests on the Tree's shadow for some time.
When some of the strength returned to his body he takes out the two Wood Swords and practices swordsmanship.
Then he started using various basic swords strikes like
Ending Blow: The enemies that are filled with energy will quickly recover and attack again even when stunned by a powerful strike. The ending blow is a secret technique you can use to end their breath before they spring back into action.
OffHand Attack: No matter how well tempered a blade is if a foe is clad in armor and bears a shield, just one sword will do it no harm.
Back Slice: A mere shield attack is no match for an enemy protected not just by a shield, but by a thick, full-body coat of armor. Such enemies are often focused on guarding against frequent frontal attacks. They often leave they're rear unprotected.
Helm Splitter: It is impossible to perform a back slice against fully armored enemies that move swiftly in combat.
Mortal Draw: The ways of the sword are known to many peoples, and some have strengthened their guards against shield attacks and back slices. There is no defense for this. The mortal draw deals with death.
Jump Strike: One of the basic sword techniques is the jump attack. It inflicts great damage, but none would call it effective against multiple foes. To perform the jump strike, prepare a jump attack, but focus power in your blade. The surge the blade releases can strike all enemies around you. This is the jump strike!
Great Spin: have at your disposal the basic sword technique known as the spin attack.
Swordsmanship came easy to him. After an hour he feels like he had been practicing these techniques for years. He practices swordsmanship till dusk and finally masters these basic sword techniques. Then he started another round of physical exercise. When he was done for the day he was totally exhausted.
He opens his stats window to check his stats

"My conqueror Haki and armament are activated but I cannot control my conqueror haki and my armament Haki I can cover my swords but it's still very weak."
He tried focusing his willpower on his index finger. He didn't succeed on the first try but after some tries, a very light grey color appears on it. He touched it with his other hand and it felt hard but not no the level where it can stop sharp objects. It can only protect him from some blunt weapons. As for conqueror Haki, he can't even use it again.
This is the first time he did such intense training so there is a major increase in his stats. But after some days when he adapts to such training, it will become almost impossible to increase his stats. He needs better tools
"I have to leave this island sometime with something before the main story begins but the shop will only unlock when I turn 10 years old", Jack thought
Ace and Sabo continue to do wrong things in the city, stealing money and hiding in a nearby tree, arranging fights with the beasts in the forest. I'm going to tell him the truth about our father.
Now's the best time, I think.
I'm almost ten years old. , and Ace almost eight years old
If I tell him later when I'm gone, then it will be harder for him to adapt.
So, right now, here we go.
"ACE!!!"
"SHUT UP JACK, IT'S MORNING!" Dadan replied, she probably woke up from that...
Thankfully, I know that she won't bother to chase me, Dadan's far too lazy.
"What do you want, Jack?!"
Well, time to give it to him blunt.
"Our dad is Gol D. Roger."
"I know..." Ace's reaction is definitely different from what I expected, he's getting angry...
Without thinking I reply, "You do? How'd---"
"Why didn't you ever tell me..."
"Ace! How did you figure---"
"Figure? Does it really matter?"
I suppose it doesn't...
"All this time, you knew as well, but why didn't you tell me?"
Ace... It's... No... "Because it isn't important."
"THEN WHY TELL ME NOW?" Because...
"You deserve to know who your birth father is." It was true, but in the end, I felt that I told a lie...
"My birth father, our birth father? HE'S THE WORLD'S BIGGEST SINNER!"
Give it a few years and it will that be Monkey D. Dragon.
"...Ace..." Perhaps, I could--- There's no turning back now.
"Do you know Ace, that even the World's Biggest Sinner has done a few good things, now and then?"
"LIKE WHAT?" He's crying, and I'm not sure what to say, I might even regret it, but here we go.
"He gave me something, that's worth more than the World."
"What?" He's still crying and angry, but, it's slowly subsiding...
"Something that I'll treasure beyond my death."
"What is it?!" It seems he wants to know.
"Do you want to know?"
"TELL ME ALREADY!" His anger has slowly subsided and turned to curiosity.
"A little bundle of joy and it had a name."
"What was its name?"
"His name? It was... Portgas D. Ace...You, my dear little brother."
"And if you still have questions about our father when you're big enough and want to get off this island look for a man named Silvers Rayleigh in the Grand Line at Sabaody Archipelago in a bar with the name "Shakky's Rip-off Bar"
"Ho...how do you know about that?"
"Mom told me before you were born" I hate lying but I have to make him get rid of the weight of being a criminal's son in the eyes of other people.
======================================================
Next Day
======================================================
"You told him?" Garp asked his foster grandson, Jack.
Jack took a deep breath and answered, "Yes, I did."
"Why did you do that?"
"He deserves to know."
"He also already knew, do you know?"
"I'm not sure how he figured out, but it doesn't matter."
Garp's face turned to a frown, before asking, "What do you think will happen now?"
"I think Nothing will change. Ace won't change, he'll remain as stubborn as always, he just won't care anymore for the Sins of our Father and will continue to do those same dame things in the city, Sh*t"
"For the better or the worst than..."
Jack grim, and looking up, chose to answer Garp's statements, "I Think for the better, of course, but everything can change depending on how things are going around him"
And to Garp, the Hope began to burn ever brighter...
======================================================
Training (a few weeks later)
======================================================
One day after training to master his Haki and failing once more, Jack dejectedly went to look for Ace, easily defeating whatever animals came his way.
"I'm looking for the big tree..." Jack said to himself before realizing something, "Wait... I could just get on top of a tree, and jump from there like a monkey haha!"
From that, Jack jumped incredibly high and got on the top of a tree, though this was a rather big one to his old life standards, in the One Piece Universe, this was rather closer to medium size.
"ACE!!! WHERE ARE YOU!" Jack shouted at the top of a tree.
At the same time, far away at the top of a tree, there were two children that were discussing the dreams of their piracy.
"When do you think we'll have enough to begin?"
"We'll need way more than this, we only started three years ago."
Before, they were promptly interrupted.
"ACE!!! WHERE ARE YOU!" Jack 's voice had managed to reach them.
One of them was a young boy wearing blue and a top hat with goggles, permanent blonde hair, Sure he is Sabo, with the other being Ace.
"Who's that? Your crazy grandfather?!" Sabo asked, remembering the stories that Ace would tell him about his life, and how he had a crazy grandfather.
Ace's face then turned to a mix of grin and a frown as he answered, "No, that's my Big brother..."
Jack didn't have to use Observation Haki, it wasn't that hard to find where Ace and Sabo where especially when he could see a blob of blue and yellow and a blob of red from where he was.
Jack did make it to their tree, Ace and Sabo had hidden where they kept their treasure.
"Where is the trap door again...ha here!" Jack said remembering from the anime where they kept their treasure.
"I told you this was a stupid idea!"
"You didn't even have an idea!"
"Yo, my dear little brother"
