Chapter 6: The Six Powers

Tyr and the Boa sisters were on the ground, completely beaten up by Garp.

He then sat down. "I'll go at it in order. The one which gives you exteme flexibility like paper is called kami-e." Garp showed them and he looked like paper being waved around.

Tyr started taking notes immediately, fascinated by the technique.

"The one that shattered Marigold's teeth is tekkai. You contract your muscles to the max until it is as hard as steel." Garp suddenly flexed and they tapped on him with a dagger.

The dagger pinged and he was definitely as hard as metal.

"With geppo, I can go airborne. Just like this." Garp stepped on the air.

"By kicking the ground ten times as fast as you can, I can do the soru." Garp zipped around the forest that can't be tracked by observation haki.

"With a roundhouse I can make a blade of air, called rankyaku!" Garp kicked and trees fell.

"As for the holes on you. It's called shigan." Garp poked holes on trees with his fingertips.

"That's amazing..." Hancock blinked in shock at the superhuman techniques.

"The question is, how are we going to train in those?" Tyr asked.

"Honestly, those look impossible at first glance." Marigold agreed.

"How do you do it, Garp?" Sandersonia was curious.

"Well, you're gonna learn alright." Garp grinned at them and they gulped.

"Okay, bring it on old man!" Tyr charged at him. Using his observation haki to the fullest in order to copy Garp's moves.

He got beat up of course, but the Boa sisters noticed what he was doing and they nodded at each other.

"Tyr's not the only one here!" They shouted and charged at Garp with all their might.

__Another POV__

"Stupid old man, trying to make me a marine." Ace kicked a stone.

"Does he want me to get executed?" Ace snorted as he remembered his father, the previous pirate king. Gol, D. Roger.

"Huh?" Ace started hearing some loud noises at the distance.

"Ahhhh!" Ace suddenly saw someone blast through multiple trees. Making his eyes go comically wide.

"FUCK! That hurt, old man!" Tyr suddenly disappeared as he ran back to the battlefield.

"What the fuck is happening over there?" Ace was frozen in shock.

He then sobered up and slowly made his way towards the source of the noises.

"What in the hell is going on here?" Ace saw the four kids fight ferociously.

The impacts of their hits produced shockwaves that shook the trees around them.

'Oh my god... How are they that strong?' Ace couldn't follow them with his eyes.

And he saw how strong Garp really was. He was shitting on them even though Ace saw their blows that missed, fracturing a thick tree.

'If that hit me, I would be fucking dead.' Ace sweated as he looked at the battle.

He was in awe at the fight. "Gramps! Teach me!" He suddenly jumped in.

Hancock's kick was blistering towards Ace as Garp deflected it and she froze.

"Ace!" Garp blocked it and Ace fell down on his ass due to the shockwave.

"What the hell are you doing, brat?" Garp scratched his head in annoyance.

"Teach me what you were doing!" Ace demanded and Garp sighed.

'I should've kicked his ass when I noticed he was approaching.' Garp rolled his eyes.

"No." Garp said plainly and Ace fumed. "He's literally turning red, wow." Hancock pointed out and they laughed at him.

"Shut up! Teach me, gramps!" Ace glared at him.

"Only if you become a marine!" Garp gave a condition and Ace was too prideful and scared to become one.

"No way!" Ace immediately refused. "Then we have no more to discuss." Garp whacked him on the head and the others winced.

"Ahhh! What about them!? Are they marines in training!?" Ace got envious.

They looked at each other for a second and decided to let Garp explain. It was his fault for introducing them to Ace anyways.

"No, they're not. They're... Uhhh..." Garp's head almost smoked at thinking of an excuse.

"They're soldiers! Yeah! They're super soldiers that are a secret force of the marines." Garp remembered that some marines were being sent to Vegapunk for that kind of thing.

"Woah... Super soldiers." Ace looked at them with stars in his eyes.

'This will bite him in the ass later, I guess I can ride along.' Tyr smirked at Garp and he looked like he bit a lemon after seeing Tyr's expression.

'Damn, I've been had!' Garp gritted his teeth as he now owe Tyr.

"Yup, we're a part of a super secret project. We can already beat up pirates in the grand line." Tyr shrugged and Ace stared at them like they were the cool kids.

"Do you have any cool powers!?" Ace asked in excitement.

"Well, Hancock, Sandersonia, and Marigold does." Tyr pointed at the sisters.

They sighed a bit before showing off their devil fruit powers.

With Hancock kicking a tree, turning it into stone upon impact. And the other two turning into their snake forms.

"Woah..." Ace's mind was blown. "Gramps, gramps, what's with their powers!? They're much cooler than you!" Ace was brutally honest.

"Agh! That... That's the power of a devil fruit. I'll explain it to you when you're a bit smarter." Garp fired back, being a petty little shit.

Ace ignored him though, deciding to stare at Tyr and the others.

"Train a little more, squirt. Garp might just train you when you get stronger." Tyr advised.

Everybody knew why Garp didn't want to train him. He'll get killed trying to learn.

Training haki also took immense will and patience. Something a kid doesn't have.

"Gramps, will you train me like them if I get stronger!?" Ace looked at him with determination.

"Hah, if you manage to impress me. Then sure, I'll train you." Garp gave him an impossible task.

'Sneaky bastard, might as well tell him never.' Tyr thought Garp was quite shrewd.

"Okay! I'll train like you have never seen before!" Ace ran like the wind and Garp rubbed his temples.

"Why do you have to egg him on like that?" Garp glared at Tyr.

"Well, might as well capitalize on your mistake." Tyr shrugged.

"You truly are a celestial dragon, brat." Garp couldn't do anything now.

"You're in for a lot of pain." Garp smirked and Tyr flared his conqueror's haki.

"Bring it on, old man." Tyr roared as he charged at Garp once again with the Boa sisters.

__A few hours later__

"Aeugh, I feel like shit." Tyr has tons of cuts and bruises on his face.

Garp didn't go easy on them at all. And he fought them like they were fully trained marines.

Not even the fodder ones, the elite ones that are undergoing Zephyr's training camp.

"Buahahaha! That's what you get, brats!" Garp laughed at their appearance.

"I'll beat your ass someday, just wait." Tyr vowed and Garp chuckled.

"Ohhh, I might be long dead by then!" Garp smirked at him, but Tyr didn't bite the bait.

'Though, this kid will definitely beat my ass in the near future...' Garp thought differently.

His group was improving at an alarming rate. Everybody are advancing their haki so fast that it was too scary.

Not to mention he had a feeling about Hancock as well. Garp can't put a finger on it, but it was similar to something.

The group grumbled as they set up a little cottage from the fallen trees.

"I'll take a nice soak on the river, I'm sore as hell." Tyr stood up with shaky legs and went to the nearby river.

The Boa sisters looked at each other and Garp raised a brow at them, feeling their intent.

"Oi, he's what? Three years old?" Garp snorted and they looked down on the ground in embarrassment.

"He's already bigger than Ace, so we forget a lot. And you know that he doesn't act his age." Marigold spoke up.

"That's true." The other two nodded sagely and Garp sighed.

"Hah, well. I know you won't do anything to him anyway. So run along if you want to spy on him or something." Garp rolled his eyes.

They scrambled immediately and followed Tyr.

"Hmmm, I guess he'll have eternal allies amongst them. Good, he will need all he can get." Garp squinted his eyes.

No celestial dragon has ever tread his path. 'I don't know what he wants, but he's a good kid. He'll never conform with the other celestial dragons.' Garp sighed as he rubbed his temples.

'Should I really be training a future pirate with the mark of a supreme king? Eh, Sengoku will just deal with him later.' Garp lied down to sleep.

Meanwhile, the Boa sisters were all shoved into a bush. Trying to see if there were any danger to Tyr. Yes, danger.

"Oi, your head's too big Sandy!" Hancock whispered in annoyance.

Sandersonia hissed at her. "That's a low blow, big sis. You know my head's an insecurity of mine."

"Sis Hancock..." Marigold gave her a side eye and Hancock looked away sheepishly.

"Sorry, sorry. We're just going to get caught, we have to stay hidden. To protect him from sneak attacks, yes." Hancock blushed as she peeked.

Tyr was washing himself off on a river, he didn't have any bruises or cuts on his back. Taking everything that Garp had for him at the front.

"He's growing so fast..." Sandersonia wondered when Tyr will start having a schedule that would lead him away from them.

"Yeah... He'll probably get busy." Marigold can't imagine being separated from him.

"It's only a matter of time, I'm sure of it." Hancock stated with a morose expression.

"Hmm? Come and join me, girls. I bet you guys want to get the dirt off of you." Tyr suddenly looked at them as he felt something with his haki.

"Ahh!" In their surprise, the Boa sisters crashed on the ground. Branches and leaves adorning their hair.

"Stop being silly, come here." Tyr chuckled at them and they looked at each other for a bit.

With their eyes, they communicated with a girl's telepathy.

'I'm gonna get his lap.' Hancock squinted her eyes at them.

'You're the big sis.' Marigold and Sandersonia acquiesced.

They gingerly made their way towards him and he raised a brow when Hancock sat on him while Marigold and Sandersonia took his sides.

"It's cold." Hancock made an excuse. After all, they're not the average person. They can take on temperature changes just fine.

"Un, you're nice and warm, Tyr." Marigold hugged his right arm.

"Well, if you guys are cold. Then come and nuzzle closer." Tyr took hold of their waists and put Hancock between his legs as he leaned on a rock.

"O-ooohhh, that's much better." Sandersonia had a dopey smile on her face.

They then relaxed for a while in the river. Looking at the moon's light.

"Hey, Tyr. Do you think my head's too big for my body?" Sandersonia asked him while twirling her hair.

"Hmmm, it's not in proportion." Tyr answered straight like an arrow, making the three girls freeze.

"But I think you're still growing, the head doesnt't grow when your skull's done fusing. So you'll eventually match with it." Tyr shrugged.

They all pouted at him though, puffing their cheeks.

"Idiot." Sandersonia started hitting him softly. "Eh?" Tyr was confused.

'She just asked a question and I answered... Why am I an idiot?' Tyr can't understand women at all.

"Well, I like you just the way you are. Don't worry about the size of your head." Tyr sighed.

"Oh... Hehehe~" Sandersonia giggled and the other two squinted their eyes at her.

"Tyr, big sis told us that you can get rid of the brands on our backs. Will we really be free? Not possessions of the celestial dragons anymore?" Marigold asked and the atmosphere got tense.

"Oh, that? It will be pretty easy. I think I will talk with Saturn for that and take care of your brands. Without even having a scar, isn't that great!?" Tyr smiled at them and they beamed.

"Un... That will be the best, then we can accompany you without hiding anything." Hancock leaned on him. Looking at him right in the eyes with half-lidded ones.

"Let's continue our journeys together, forever." Sandersonia leaned on him as well.

"Tyr, what's your dream? We'll follow you to the ends of the earth to complete it." Marigold asked.

"I want the world to be free, without prejudice. A peaceful one just like this town." Tyr smiled.

"How about you two?" Tyr looked at Sandersonia and Marigold.

"I want to establish a nation for all the slaves. After seeing what they went through, I want a place, a haven for them." Marigold spread her arms.

Kindness can be seen on her expression. "An admirable goal..." Tyr patted her head as she giggled.

"As for me, I want to protect them. I think I'll turn Amazon Lily into an armada that will hunt down slavers." Sandersonia was determined.

"You girls have amazing dreams. I'll help you all fulfill it." Tyr grinned at them.

"How about you, sis Hancock." Sandersonia asked her.

"Me? I'll accompany Tyr everywhere, even in hell." Hancock's eyes showcased her ironclad will.

"Thanks for supporting me then." Tyr chuckled and they enjoyed their little bath.
