Chapter 27

In the training ground, two figures were fighting, or more precisely, one of them was getting trashed. Those two were Vox and Samuel.

"Is this all your will amounts too?" Vox looked at Samuel and kicked him in the chest.

"If you want to get strong and stand at the top. You will have to learn Haki."

"But how am I supposed to 'Will my spirit'?" Samuel stood up rubbing his chest.

"That is for you to find out, you already have the qualification." Vox smiled, how was he supposed to say it was just a hunch? he has no practice on Haki, except for his observation Haki being somewhat trained. The only thing is he certain off is that to learn Armament Haki, one needs a strong body.

"Conquerors Haki requires ones willpower and to be of a ruler, someone that is meant to be above many others, one who won't bow his head towards anyone else." Vox started to explain once more the 3 types of Haki, to his understanding anyway.

"Observation Haki is when you use your willpower to have your spirit outside your body to observe around one self, It is like an invisible gas surrounding you and everything in it is something you can predict it's actions. This is offset if a stronger observation Haki user is the enemy. Normally fights are somewhat balanced, but sometimes it is totally different."

(AN: Spirit here is not equal to Soul. What I mean is that the 'spirit' is a type of energy that is in someone's soul. The reason for me going this way with Haki is because Haki can be ran out, as we have seeing in Luffy's fight vs Dofy, Luffy had to regenerate his Haki, my guess is the fuel for the Haki, aka the spirit. Because I doubt his willpower would ever run out.)

"As for what I am trying to teach you, Armament Haki requires a strong body. If your body is not strong enough, you won't be able to use it."

"Why?"

"What would happen if I were to flow my lightning inside this sword?" Vox said as he picked up a low grade sword from the weapon rack.

"I will look cool?" Samuel said with a goofy smile.

"Well, yes, but actually no. Let me show you." Vox the made his lightning pour through the sword, after a few seconds he stopped, he looked at the deformed and melting sword in his hand, if he wasn't a lightning man, it would hurt like a bitch.

"Wow." Samuel's eyes were shining when he remembered the sword flowing with lightning.

"Did you see that?" Vox smiled, hearing him be surprised by the result, but the next words made him almost through the half molten part at him.

"Yes, that was so cool." Vox snarled at him as he knocked his head with his fist of love, as Garp would say. 'I miss that old man, maybe I should visit him in Dawn Island'

"Look at the sword, you brat!" Vox showed him the half molten sword.

"What happened to it?" Samuel tried to touch it, just to get another first of love on his head.

"It melted, my lightning is too powerful for this weak sword to handle, but if I were to use my own sword." Vox pulled out his Lightning Sword and let his lightning through it. Making Samuel's eyes shine in the form of stars.

"It stays intact and is stronger than before. The same principle applies to Armament Haki, if your body is not strong enough, your soul subconsciously denies the usage of the spirit. And it will become impossible to use Haki, but once the body can handle it, for example, if you harden your hand, You should in theory able to use the basic form of Armament Haki "

"It is so confusing." Samuel said as he scratched his head.

"Blame Oda for not explaining and letting me figure it out." Vox took back his sword.

"Who is oda?"

"A very cool guy."

"Can I meet him?"

"No. Now try again, if you manage to hit me, I will take you with me outside."

"Woahhh! Yes!"

And so, Samuel started he daily beating from Vox, a few days later Lena and Lucy came to ask Vox for help with their Powers. Seeing how Lena was able to make a bit of fire, Vox was very happy. She probably had partially awaken her dormant power, and with this she should slowly awaken all of it.

Time passed and 2 years after his return Vox decided to leave the island again, This time he took Lena, Lucy and Samuel with him.

Lena was 17 years old, Lucy and Samuel were both 16.

"Oke, remember, don't create trouble with normal people there, our goal is start taking over the underground market and organizations by force." Vox looked at the 3 in front of him. In the last 2 years he managed to teach Samuel how to control Haki, all he needed was to strengthen his body and devil fruit while practicing martial arts. Karate Man was his teacher, so Vox is not worried about him. Sometimes, you don't need to be strong to be a good teacher.

Lena also managed to fully develop her innate fire *devil fruit*, she could in theory eat another devil fruit, but Vox did not want to risk it. Wendy was stable, well, stable as in genetics. She herself was totally lost.

{Flashback 1 Week ago}

"AHHH YES!! HARDER!"

Vox who was walking by heard that and his face grew dark, he just looked at the door of her room and sensed with his Haki.

*SHAAA!*

"Hahaha this is the best, master never let's me whip him! You are my favourite Wendy!" A childish voice sounded from inside, making Vox's face even worse.

*SHAAA*

"Hey hey, let me too!" A somewhat childish voice came from inside.

"AAAAAWWW YEAAAAAAHHHSSS, CURRAN YOU ARE AWWWWHHH THE AAHHH BEST.*

*SHAAA*

"What about me?" the childish voice once again from the room.

*SHAAA!*

"AHHHH, You too AHHHH, ARE THE BEST!" Wendy laughed and screamed in ecstasy.

*SHAAA*

"Naturally, I taught him how to use the whip."

*SHAAA*

"Curran is the best teacher!"

"USE MORE POWER! *SHAAA!* AAHHHHHhh yeaaaasshhh! This is the best."

Vox stood there frozen, his aura projected a demon behind him, he kicked the door in pieces and shouted so hard that the whole island heard him.

"HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO FUCKING SAY IT!? NO. FUCKING. WHIPING. IN. THIS. HOUSE!!!!!!" Vox looked inside with his bloodshot eyes, the scene in front of him made him almost kill Curran and Wright right then and there.

In front of him Wendy wore nothing but her panties and a bra, which was full of holes. She was practically naked and tied on the bed like those kinky couples do when they play police. Wright and Curran stood on top of the bed and each had a whip in their hand, Wright with his white one while Curran her pink Whip.

"M...ma...s..te...r you are b...ack!" Curran slowly backed off to the window

"B....bro..ther V..v...ox, this...this is not what it looks like!" Wright face went pale when he saw Vox's expression.

"Hey brother Vox, want to join, your lightning is always the best!" Wendy smiled widely when she saw Vox. During their training Vox would sometimes use a toned down lightning as punishment if they fail to do a goal given to them by their teachers. And...Wendy would fail; a lot. Vox knew about her...tendencies.. but he had to do it, otherwise the other kids would complain, well, are they kids still?

Vox was so mad, he could not even speak correctly. All he could say was "You!!! You, You..." with his fingers pointed at Wendy.

He decided to ignore this lost cause and focus on the other 2, especially Wright.

"What did I say the last time?"

"Y...you said... t.that I would get a pass?"

"A pass, maybe a pass on life. Come here Curran, let me show you what it means to hit your sister and student." Vox smiled like the devil as he looked at Wright and Curran who was about to leave through the window.

What followed next were screams of pain through the mansion as Vox whipped the shit out of them.

"NO FAIR!! WHY CAN YOU WHIP IN THE MANSION!! LET ME JOIN TOO!" Wendy who was tied on the bed tried her best to get out and walk in front of Wright and Curran.

"My house, My rules!" Vox said in between the whipping of the 2 figures in front of him. He then told Lena who was behind him.

"Take this lost cause and clean her up."

"Oke, brother." Lena looked angrily at Wendy as she broke the bed in pieces and pulled her by her arm.

{Flashback End}

Yes, Vox gave up trying to fix her character. As long she is having fun, even if she gets beaten to death, what can he say? she is a big fucking M. 'Why did I have to think of her, my head is hurting again' Shaking his head Vox looked at the last one to join the party.

Lucy managed to get her devil fruit under control, her devil fruit, is a totally new one mixed from 3 existing ones with the Trap Card DNA Surgery, it is called Crystal Blizzard Fruit. Her powers are so overpowered that makes even the Rumble Rumble Fruit look like a baby, I guess that is what happens when 3 top tier fruits combine.

She could create winds so cold that even Aokiji feel the cold. The worst part of it was the glass sharp crystals mixed with the cold winds that cut everything in its path. If Vox fought her seriously, he doubted the he would be able to beat her without using his cards.

The only downside is that she can't turn to an element like a logia, which classifies her powers as a very powerful paramicia. She managed to learn basic observation Haki, but that's it.

Vox is not letting them train too hard, he let them enjoy life as well. But he was about to change that. He needed them to be strong, and he had plans that needed them to be strong. He did not force them, he asked them and they made their decision to support him.
