Grind Don't Stop

Weeks had past since I trained Fulgur Exitii, it had taken quite some time to perfect such a move.

It wasn't easy to take time and perfect such a devastating move. By the time I had perfected the technique, I could tell that I may have scared all the living beings within the shore of the island. Also, I sensed a deep depression within the shore, like a lake within the sea.

I sat on the edge of the mountain's peak as I continued to stare at the sky. The mountain always seemed to be swarmed with storm clouds. Lightning and thunder continued to make itselves known around the mountain. I could feel the moisture of the rain hitting my face as I continued to enjoy my rest. 

With my improved Observation haki, I could easily detect every presence in detail within the island and cover a little farther than ten miles out of the island. It was a drastic improvement compared to what I had managed before. It was a rather satisfying feeling, enjoying the fruits of my labor, I could sense that the crew had already begun their training regime.

As for Stussy, she was currently alone in a different part of the forest. Her irratic and quick movements told me that she was probably training her Rokushiki. Everyone was doing what they needed to do on the island, this had also made me happy as well. I decided to relax for a bit more until I got up for some physical training.

I promptly decided to start some basic workouts. I did sit-ups, push-ups, planks, burpees and split-squats. I did all of these till failure, once I failed at one exercise; I would just start working out with another one. I soon came to find out that doing this not only helped me with my physical strength, but it also helped me increase my stamina as well. 

It helped quite a bit, however, I knew that just this wasn't enough. I had to train with even heavier items if I really wanted to increase my strength. However, now wasn't the time, I needed to increase my affinity with my devil fruit. Ghidora was a Kaiju that always had dominated the aspect of lightning, so if I needed to consolidate more of Ghidorah's power. 

I would need to bathe myself in lightning, or electricity. One or the other, and currently lightning was bountiful around me. I slowly grew into my draconic form, all three heads of mine facing the heavens as I spread my long wings far and wide. Slowly, lightning started to charge from the clouds surrounding the peak. 

That wasn't all, I summoned another storm on top of the current storm just to increase the lightning's power as it continued to surge. I used my wings to act as lightning rods so as to absorb and disperse the lightning within my body. The lightning struck and did exactly what I wanted it to, I could feel the lightning's vicous power slowly encompassing my scaly body.

The lightning didn't seem to be stopping. It kept flowing right into my wings as I continued to spread them. I could feel more and more power coursing through my veins, I could tell that I was far from reaching my limit. The power was building up the same way gas filled up a car's tank. It took time, but it was getting there.

Soon, I could feel my the power of lightning pushing my body to its limits. I slowly began to fold my wings, this power was more than enough for me to use for training. Soon, the lightning that was striking me slowly began to recede as the storm I had summoned also began to recede.

I could feel every fibre of my being bursting with power. I needed to consolidate it and keep it coursing in my body till it became mine to command. I could already control the weather, but I couldn't summon lightning like the Rumble-Rumble fruit user could. 

Speaking of which, I don't think Enel has gotten his hands on the Rumble-Rumble fruit yet, has he? I could probably make a quick stop in Skypiea and steal it. Question was, who would I have given the fruit to? Most of the Division Commanders would soon get their own devil fruits by their own means. Teach would soon kill Thatch and claim the Dark-Dark fruit for himself before betraying the Whitebeard Pirates. 

Having it would have proven to be an invaluable asset for us. I just needed to figure out who would be a great candidate for it. Well, that would be a question for later, right now I needed to focus and continue to controll the foreign power in my system. I could feel the vigorous power just making a mess inside my large body. 

I decided to remain in this form because I knew that this pain would only increase a hundred-fold if I turned back into a human. I promptly made myself comfortable as I rested in my Draconic form. I promptly passed out right after.

....

....

I promptly woke up the next day feeling a LOT better than I did yesterday. I felt more vigourated and powerful, almost as if I could just destroy this entire mountain with a simple energy blast. I slowly stretched my wings before taking flight. I just wanted to stretch my limbs for a bit before I returned to my training.

The sunrise looked beautiful as I soared above the heavens. It was a view that could only be seen only if you flew close to the Stratosphere of the planet. I was so high up that I had already emerged from the White sea. I could still see it below me, I wasn't too far from it.

I started my descent down, and when I landed, I continued to hone my techniques. I had decided to make a series of three techniques out of my axe skills. Their foundations were purely made from lightning, and each of these moves were equally as devastating as the other two.

The first one was the enhanced version of Fulgur Vatistas, Lightning flash. I decided to call it fulgur mortuorum: The Lightning of the Dead. It was a basic coating of Advance Armament Haki along with coated lightning. This technique basically had the same effect as its predecessor, only a more powerful punch this time compared to Vatistas.

The second technique was called Fulgur Perditionis : The Lightning of Destruction. It was the same thing as Fulgur Exitii. Advanced Armament haki that was infused by my Conqurer's haki. The impact was even more devastating compared to the time prior of my training. Probably because of my enhanced strength and power that I had just acquired.

The third and last technique was known as Endens Lyn: The lightning of the End. This was my most powerful technique, it was an attack that combined my infused Conqurer's haki along with ryuo. Which I had also been mastering for the past few weeks. It was cataclysmic like move that could take out islands. In fact, I had to fly to a totally abandoned island just so I could prove this move could do that. The island didn't last for long.
