6 6. Marineford
3 Days after we arrived at the marineford, we only spent that time on getting familiar with the place and now is finally time to learn from one of marine vice admirals.
Our instructor had purple hair with muscular body which almost ripped his shirt off. This man is Vice Admiral ''Black Arm'' Zephyr.
Since we arrived to the marineford we also got promoted to Seaman First Class while skipping Seaman Apprentice rank which is usually given to third years in academy.
''Alright lads! I am Vice Admiral Zephyr and i am here to teach you Haki and Rokushiki.''
''At first agenda is to teach you Observation Haki and also Soru, the most basic one of the Rokushiki.''
''The basic of Soru is that it allows the users to move at extremely high speeds in order to avoid attacks, as well as to attack at higher speeds and with greater power.''
''Principle of this move is to kick off the ground at least ten times in the blink of an eye.''
''And first part of the Observation Haki we learn will be so called Presence Sensing! It allows user to feel persons aura, no matter how far one is.''
After he told us everything about knowing about Soru and Observation Haki, he made other half going to learn Soru first and other half will try to get first feeling towards Observation Haki which usually takes people couple of months before able to sense even little bit about aura.
I was part of the group which will learn Observation Haki first and i need to say it was painful experience, Vice Admiral Zephyr simply put blindfold for us and blocked our ears and just told that we need to feel the attack coming. Well i only felt pain coming!
While we tried Presence sensing, we also tried Intent Sensing which allows person to feel if other people is aiming to kill you or if attack is coming.
And after 1 week constant abuse by the Instructor, i finally managed to get one glimpse towards Intent Sensing, i felt someone's intent to attack, but didn't know from which direction.
...
3 Months Later
I was currently dodging attacks like there was no tomorrow, few hit me, but i dodged way more than hit me, but Instructor kept increasing speed more and more until i got hit to my head and got flying few meters.
''My head!'' i screamed, i still don't get tired of this constant abuse, it still hurts like in first day.
''Good job, you have almost mastered Intent Sensing, but your speed is very lacking.''said one of the Captains who were teaching alongside Zephyr.
It took me 1 month to reach Intent Sensing to level where i can sense where attack is coming from, but my Presence Sensing is still lacking somewhat, but i can feel people's aura within 10 meters from me, so that's something.
I also went to few lessons to learn Soru and i had way more talent in that department, learning that only after 3 weeks and shocking the Instructors.
''Seaman Dante! Go to Admiral Sengoku's office.'' said Vice Admiral Zephyr
...
*Knock* *Knock*
''Come in.'' I heard voice inside after and knocking and i opened the door and inside i saw two men, another had black afro and black mustache while another has black hair and silver like eyes with height of 253cm.
''Dad?'' I asked with disbelief after seeing handsome man inside sitting in the couch.
''Son, you arrived to Marineford sooner than expected.'' said Jack with smile
''Seaman Dante, i called you here for two reasons, first you can use your contribute points to reach Lieutenant Junior Grade and second reason is you will go to the sea's with Jack to hunt pirates.'' said Sengoku and i answered with nod, contribute points can be used as getting promotions, but that is only until Captain, i currently had 2915 contribute points and Lieutenant Junior Grade needs 2800, you can reach these ranks faster without contribute points, because those are not easy get, only Borsalino and i managed to get above 1000 contribute points in the academy.
Contribute points can also used to buy some techniques like learning Armament Haki, but i don't really need to learn it yet, i will learn before going to New World.
''Yes sir!'' Second reason quite surprised me, to go seas with my father, but i guess that's pretty much me and his crew doing all the work while he doesn't let us die or something.
''You will depart tomorrow, you are dismissed.'' said Sengoku and after that my father and I left the office.
After seeing both son and dad par leave, Sengoku finally relaxed
''Yes!! I must be genius, now i managed to get both of them out of the headquarters and now i can finally relax, i was panicking everyday when comes notification that Dante has destroyed a ship perhaps or maybe accidentally sink the marineford who knows.'' thought Sengoku aloud and finally relaxing.
...
''So dad why are you back, i thought you chased after Roger Pirates?'' I asked
''I heard my son came to Marineford and apparently destroying 3 islands already went overboard while chasing Roger, so they summoned me back.'' said Jack while shrugging his shoulders and asked ''Your mother knows that you are here right?''
''Nope!'' I answered with smile because i knew this question was gonna pop out
''Wwwwww-whaaaaaaaat, go tell her now!'' said Jack with panicking expression
''But dad, if i have to tell him, then i might slip few words about something like you forcing me come here or something.'' I said while blackmailing dad
''Y-yyyou wouldn't dare you little shit!'' Jack's face obviously paled
''Well, i guess you better tell her by yourself that i am here.''
''Dddd-damn it, fine.''
''You had to be sacrificed dad, we had no other choice.''
...
3 Days Later
[In the sea]
*KABOOM*
Marine Ship were chasing Pirate's while shooting cannons.
Black Hole!
Then suddenly huge black rift with shape of a hole appeared and kept pulling the pirate ship towards them.
''What the hell is this?!'' asked Pirate captain while getting pulled towards marine ship.
''Quite useful ability not gonna lie.'' said Jack while sitting on the chair on the deck of the marine ship.
''You said once that you had devil fruit ability too, what is it?'' I asked
''Magari Magari no Mi (Bend Bend Fruit) it allows me to bend practically anything, even space and time.'' Jack said to me and holy shit it sounds powerful!
''So what if you bend person as pretzel what would happen?'' I asked
''You are crazy kid you know that right? Well nothing, they don't feel anything when i do that and that was first thing i tried when i got my abilities, but it's useful to capture a pirate.'' said Jack while wondering that did he really raise his son correctly.
''Well this ability was not that strong when once i got it, i barely was able to bend another human, but now i can bend space for teleportation, but it's very taxing, your ability is quite alright in paper, but if you use it correctly you could perhaps slice Red Line in half.'' said Jack while imagining the sight of Mariejois sinking to the sea
Pirate ship was finally pulled next to the marine ship and there started the close combat.
I jumped to the center of the pirates and formed black rift with shape of a hole around me and pulled all the pirates around close to me and then used the white hole and then closed the rift which sent all the pirates flying around me.
Black Hole + White Hole!
Then i saw pirate captain slicing few marine soldiers to half, he was pirate named ''Big Gun'' Margons and he has bounty of 113 million berries.
Black Hole!
I summoned black rift again and pulled nearby marine soldier from certain death who was about to be sliced.
''?'' Margons finally noticed me and ran towards me, because he saw me as biggest threat currently.
Big Slice!
Margons jumped towards me and did huge swing towards my head, but i summoned huge white rift in front of me and sent him flying to the wall of pirate ship.
White Hole!
Then i unsheathed my sword and coated it in color of white and swung it towards where pirate captain went causing cracks appearing everywhere in the pirate ship and blowing away the wall where pirate captain flied to.
Crack Blade!
There i saw pirate captain spitting mouthful of blood and trying to stood up.
Black Hole!
I summoned the black rift again and pulled him towards me with greater strength this time and caught him by neck and slammed him to the deck, knocking him out.
*Clap* *Clap*
''Tie them up and lets deliver them to nearest marine base.'' said Jack after clapping and then we tied all the pirates and put them behind the bars.
''By the way, we got new mission.'' said Jack
''What is it?''
''It seems that new pirates called Rocks pirates are currently making ruckus in Water 7, we need to go arrest them.'' said Jack and after that he gave the orders to the rest of the marines and put as our next destination Water 7.
