8 A little bit of training (Part 2)

After training his soul power, he then rest for a while. After that, he slowly stretch the soul sense around him. Then he started sensing presence of individual energies on his own , without any mantras. He can feel the strong exuberance of life energy, indomitable presence of primordial essence, calm spirit energy and finally the elemental energies. He started to slowly spread his soul sense across each element at a time. He then spend her time analysing each and every element at a time and found that each element carried a certain emotions. As time passed by, he spent even more time to understand just what these emotions stands for. After a long time, he came across some conclusions.

FIRE: A hungry, intense Element. It is associated with strength, emotion, and change.

LIGHTNING: A stark, vigorous Element. It is associated with focus, willpower and potential.

EARTH: A static, monolithic Element. It is associated with endurance, determination and fertility.

WATER: An enigmatic, amorphous Element. It is associated with flexibility, intellect and momentum.

AIR: An aloof, dynamic Element. It is associated with speed, creativity and confidence.

SPACE: A radiant, energetic Element. It is associated with, wisdom and clarity.

TIME: A steady, progressive Element. It is associated with patience and purity.

YIN - YANG: Is both light and darkness.It is associated with both vitality and creation.

After coming to these conclusions, he started to slowly draw a single strand of spirit energy and control fire element, but whenever he tried to absorb the spirit energy, fire element followed on cue. It took him close to 1000 years to absorb the spirit energy without absorbing the fire element. After a long time of concentration and steadiness, he was able to split his consciousness in both ways. He continued this routine trying to control one element at a time. After being able to control each and every element on his own, he started to control two elements at once. He started by trying to control fire and earth at once but prove it very hard to do so. It took him 5000 years just to control two elements As he tried to increase the number of elements to control, the time in progress took longer.

Getting control over 3 elements took 10,000 years.

Getting control over 4 elements took 40,000 years.

Getting control over 5 elements took 80,000 years.

Getting control over 6 elements took 120,000 years.

Getting control over 7 elements took 200,000 years.

When he was able to control all 7 elements and the spirit energy, he came out of his meditative state. The first thing he ask was,

Reed: Great Sage, how long was it outside?

Great Sage: 1hr and 30 mins have passed.

Reed: Oh! Okay then. Can you implement the three haki technique, black leg technique, the rokushiki and the ashura sword style and also send it to clone #4 at the 6th floor via me.

Great Sage: Affirmitive. Complying to host's request.

Reed: Hmm, so thats how it is. It would be quite easy to master it but to be more profficent in it, I might need to summon them.

Unknown to Reed, Clone #4 was thinking the same thing. He also thought 'Instead of training from the manuals, why not learn it from them? Yeah, that's a good idea. Also I need to learn chakra control too. Hmm. No need for that. Boss is already taking care of it.'

Clone #4: Great Sage?

Great Sage: Yes, Clone #4. How can I help you?

Clone #4: I want to use the summoning function of this floor.

Great Sage: Affirmitive. Who do you want to summon?

Clone #4: I want to summon Red-haired Shanks, Duracle Mihawk and Garp please.

Great Sage: Affirmitive. Summoning requested characters. Building houses for them at the 10th floor.

A blue light suddenly appeared and it revealed three figures. The first one is a red-haired man with scar diagonally on his left eye. He is missing his left hand. This man is Shanks, the captain of the Red-Haired Pirates. The second one is a tall lean man with black hair, wearing a black wide brimmed hat. This man is Shanks, the strongest swordsman in One piece. The last man is an old man with white hairs, beard and wears a marine overcoat. This man is Garp the Fist, hero of the marine and grandfather of our rubber man. Reed then greets himself and explained everything to the three and asked them to train him in Haki, swordsmanship and Rokushiki in which they easily agreed. Clone #4 then makes two more clones suprising the three and asked if he ate a devil fruit. Reed answered that he did not eat a devil fruit and explain the chakra syetem to them which interested them greatly.

Shanks: Interesting. If it is like what you said then, if they were to roam our world...

Reed: Yeah, I know. And also, they know water style so devil fruits are rendered useless to them.

Shanks: Can you teach them to me?

Reed: Not a problem. You teach me everything you have so I should also do the same. And one more thing, you can also add chakra to your weapons to make it sharper and harder.

Mihawk: You were saying that, I can implement chakra along with Armament Haki?

Reed: Yes you can.

Garp: I like this kid.

Shanks: So do I, Garp.

Mihawk: So where do we live?

Reed: You will live in the 10th floor. Your houses are already made there. Shall we train then?

And so the harsh training with Reed has began until the next morning.
