Levely and incident - Part Two

The next day, Kaito got up early and after breakfast, walked around. It was not the first time he had come to Mary Geoise, but it was the first time he had the opportunity to explore the place carefully. When he arrived at the garden the previous day, he saw that his grandmother Tsuru and Gion were talking in the same place as the day before.

Kaito - good morning -

Tsuru - good morning Kaito -

Gion - good morning Kaito -

Kaito - what were they talking about? -

Tsuru - we talked about you -

Kaito - about me? -

Gion - yes, I asked your grandmother, about how strong you are -

Tsuru - I explained the training you received from a young age -

Kaito - I see -

Tsuru - Kaito, how about having a duel against Gion? -

Kaito - fight Gion-san? -

Tsuru - yes, what do you think, Gion? -

Gion - I agree -

Kaito - well ... I'm not sure -

Tsuru - don't be shy and have a duel against her -

Kaito didn't know how to answer his grandmother. Kaito trusted his current strength, but he wasn't sure if his strength would be enough to stand up to Gion. Kaito knew little about Gion's fighting style, and that gave him a considerable disadvantage, and Tsuru would surely have told Gion about Kaito's strength.

Gion - if you're not sure, we can fight alone with our swords -

Kaito - ahh ... no need, it would be disrespectful if for the other if we don't fight properly -

Tsuru - well said, then let's go to a remote area to have the duel -

Kaito ended up resigning himself, but then cheered up thinking it would be a good opportunity to prove his strength against someone who was surely stronger than him.

They went to a wasteland area on the Red Line, it was spacious enough not to worry about holding back.

Kaito - you can tell why there are so many people here! -

Kaito hoped that it was only his grandmother and Gion, but at some point Garp found them and upon learning what they were going to do he began to proclaim him all over the place, this attracted the attention of many naval officers who wanted to see the duel. They were interested in knowing the strength of the fleet's admiral's adopted grandson.

Kaito - (damn, if I don't want to put my grandparents to shame, I will have to do my best to show my face in this duel) -

Kaito and Gion were placed in the center of the entire audience. Among this audience you could see several vice admirals, rear admirals and several commodorers and captains.

Gion - are you ready? -

Kaito - yes -

Tsuru - well, I'll be the referee -

Gion and Kaito walked away and put distance between them. Tsuru waited for them to be placed in their respective places.

Tsuru - good. Start! -

...

Kaito did not know how long it was since his grandmother gave the start signal, but currently Kaito was resting on the ground with one knee and his sword.

Kaito - ah ah ah -

For her part, Gion was a few meters away, despite standing, Gion was also breathing hard.

Gion - I think it's enough -

Kaito - I believe the same -

After saying this, Kaito relaxed and fell on his back to the floor, while trying to catch his breath.

Tsuru - well, Gion is the winner -

The audience cheered, they were surprised by the duel they had seen. They were quite surprised by Kaito's strength. But most knew that in the end it would be Gion who would win the duel. But anyway everyone agreed that Kaito was very strong and deserved the rank of captain, and that in the future he would easily become a vice admiral. Gion approached Kaito.

Gion - and how are you? -

Kaito - ah ah, it has been a very good experience, but I feel very tired and my body is sore -

Gion - I'm not surprised, you've used too much haki, and your body could not stand -

Kaito - you're right, but it was the only way to keep up -

Gion - well, your strength is very good, you also have a very interesting devil fruit, and from what I've seen, you don't trust yourself just to have it when fighting -

Kaito - yes, I think it is best to train not only my skills given by the fruit of the devil but also my own strength -

Gion - I have fought many people and I can tell you that you are one of the few people who is very well balanced in all aspects of the fight: your martial arts, haki, fencing and devil fruit skills. Not many people achieve this and end up leaning towards one of these aspects -

Kaito - do you think I'm on the right track? -

Gion - yes, it may take a little longer than other people to reach a level in any of these aspects, but, once you get all of them to reach the highest level you can, you will be one of the strongest people in the world , and I'm not exaggerating -

Kaito thanked Gion's words, had cleared all doubts he had about his training style and strength. It may take a little longer to make a qualitative leap in your strength now, but you would end up taking it.

With Garp's help, Kaito stood up and returned to his room to rest.

Kaito - (for now, my fencing, martial arts and devil fruit skills are at the same level, but it is my haki which I have to improve to put it at the same level) -

Kaito concluded to focus for a time on haki training. He had set the goal of using the haki in an attack, but without physically touching the enemy. In the original story, Luffy had accomplished this with quite a short time. Kaito knew that this could be due to what was known as the main effect, in which the main character of a story had a revelation or turning point where his strength increased at an accelerated pace. Despite not having this effect, Kaito would strive to achieve his goals.

The next few days, Kaito rested and then started training with Garp, he was the person with the strongest haki he knew and asked him to give him some advice. He accepted enchanting since he said he was bored without doing anything.

After six days, Levely was about to conclude and Kaito knew that the incident between Wapol and Vivi would soon occur.

Kaito - I'm sorry Garp-san, but I have to do something -

Garp - nothing happens, something will not happen if you skip a training day, hahahaha -

Kaito walked away from Garp with a drop of sweat on his forehead. Kaito headed towards the exit where the leaders were at the meeting.

...

In a great hall.

Thalassa Lucas - Revolutionist Dragon ... this man´s ideologies are dangerous. It's very clear that he'll become a big enemy to us. The World Government, in 5 or 6 years and stand in our way -

Thalassa Lucas, king of the kingdom of Ilusia, expressed his concerns about Dragon and the problems he could cause in the future.

Wapol - ahh ... how ridiculous. That has nothing to do with my country. I govern my country so that my people won't be led astray by a revolutionist. If you guys wanna capture him, go ahead and do it on your own -

Wapol responded nonchalantly, this topic did not interest him at all.

Cobra - Wapol! You're too selfish! What do you think the World Summit is ?! Act more responsibly! -

Cobra was enraged to hear Wapol's words, he did not like that a king like him was so irresponsible in a meeting like that. Wapol had been surprised by the sudden repression that he couldn't stand his balance and fell on his back on his chair.

Wapol - damn Nefertari Cobra! -

The meeting continues despite the discussion between Wapol and Cobra, the others present didn't care about the confrontation, it had nothing to do with them. But everyone knew that the words spoken at this meeting had a greater weight and could have consequences for themselves and their countries.

After finally concluding the last Levely meeting, those present began to disperse, some stayed in the room to talk with their counterparts in other countries, others preferred to leave. This last option was the one Wapol chose.

Wapol - humph! What an unpleasant conference that was -

Wapol was furious from the meeting, had been humiliated before the other kings and dignitaries by Cobra, and this enraged him. At his side were his companions and among them was Dalton.

Wapol - mh? That's… -

The moment Wapol walked back to his ship, he suddenly stopped when he saw a little girl at a distance.

Wapol - that's the daughter of that detestable Cobra! -

Wapol smiled and quickly approached the little girl, which was Vivi. When he was close enough to her he raised his hand. Vivi heard Wapol's footsteps and saw how he was about to punch her in the face.

Wapol - oops! My hand slip ... -

Wapol could not finish his sentence or movement since a hand firmly holds his arm by the wrist.

Dalton - Wapol-sama! -

Wapol - but what the hell! -

Kaito - my apologies Wapol-dono, but I think his hand was about to slip -

Wapol watched as a young man had held his wrist tightly causing him severe pain. This enraged him, but he became more enraged when I heard his words and see how he had prevented you from hitting Cobra's daughter.

Igaram - Vivi-sama! -

Igaram, who did not see Wapol approach, reacted immediately to see what it seemed Wapol was going to do. Igaram quickly approached Vivi.

Igaram - you bastard! What did you want to do? -

Vivi - stop Igaram, I'm fine, Kaito stopped him -

Wapol - who the hell are you? -

Kaito - my apologies for not introducing myself. I'm Kaito, captain of the navy and grandson of the Admiral of the Sengoku fleet and Vice Admiral Tsuru -

Wapol wanted to release all his anger towards the man who had stopped him, but after hearing his presentation he decided to shut up. I did not expect this young man to have a background of that scale. He did not want to risk making a complaint about the grandson of the navy's highest authority.

Wapol - hmp! What an annoying boy. Let's go, Dalton! -

Dalton - I'm sorry -

Wapol didn't want to waste time anymore and withdrew with his companions. Dalton was the last to walk away and before doing so he apologized.

Kaito watched as they walked away and breathed a sigh of relief. He did not like to use the name of his grandparents, but he was not sure if he intervened in this matter would come out unscathed, so he had to mention that he was the grandson of the fleet admiral and a vice admiral.

Vivi - thanks Kaito -

Vivi approached Kaito and held the edge of his shirt. Kaito watched her and saw that she had some tears on the edge of her eyes. Kaito realized that despite the maturity that Vivi expressed, she was still a small girl. Vivi was very scared, when she saw that Wapol approached her with bad intentions, but when she was about to receive Wapol's blow, she saw how Kaito appeared almost suddenly and stopped Wapol's hand. Despite this, she still got scared and couldn't help shedding some tears. Kaito sighed and reached down and hugged Vivi.

Vivi - waaaa! -

Vivi was surprised by Kaito's sudden action, but when she felt she was wrapped in Kaito's arms, her body relaxed and she couldn't contain her tears.

Vivi - I was very afraid! -

Kaito - fear not, everything has already happened -

Kaito comforted Vivi by tapping her back.

Igaram - thank you very much Kaito-dono -

Kaito - I don't need to thank you for anything, anyway, I'm in charge of ensuring your safety -

Igaram was very grateful to Kaito, he had prevented the situation from being more serious and above all he had protected Princess Vivi.

Kaito was glad to have arrived on time, he lost himself in the area, not knowing where exactly this incident would occur. But fortunately Kaito had managed to arrive on time.
