Gear Second

*YAWN

Luffy woke up early and saw that everyone was still sleeping, starting to stretch his arms, he noticed that Ravi is a little uncomfortable with the sudden movement.

'Ravi is a light sleeper... this is good in the forest any sound and change of environment can be fatal, especially when he is sleeping which is the weakest period. I'm impressed I haven't been attacked while sleeping before, maybe animal instinct?... Now my observation haki is almost 100% active, just a few more days or so for that to happen. But now... 'I looked at Ravi and started stroking his head.

Ravi feeling his 'father''s hand on his fur started to wake up sleepy and slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing that he opened his eyes, with a small smile he said:

"Good morning Ravi!" Ravi wagged his tail and started to stretch and didn't take his head out of my hand for an instant not wanting it to end, enjoying his 'father's' warm hand every second.

Seeing that he didn't want to let go of my hand I took the initiative to remove it before Ravi could show his sadness I said "You can get more affection later-" Before I finished Ravi jumped on me and started licking madly.

"I see you're full of energy, can you go wake up the other wolves? It's time for training I'll wake up Iron and then do some exercises" Ravi barked excitedly and quickly entered the cave.

After Ravi left, I walked to Iron's front.

Seeing him sleep peacefully and contentedly was good since after yesterday I was afraid he wouldn't get a good night's sleep, after all, he almost died.

Remembering yesterday many things really happened I taught the wolves, Iron became a new friend... I remembered when I was making fun of Iron and he hitting my head with smoke through the ears and veins on the foreheads.

*Pfttt"Hahaha..."

Iron heard someone laughing and as soon as he opened his eyes he saw his owner trying to hold back his laughter and for some reason Iron started laughing too and decided not to ask what Luffy was laughing about, but soon then he started remembering yesterday... and Luffy teasing him, and him hitting Luffy on the head. Is that what Luffy is laughing at? Now I get it...

Seeing that Iron had woken up and was laughing with him, I was relieved that he had slept well and is comfortable not traumatized or anything like being on the brink of death.

"Well since you're awake I'll start training and- WHERE IS MY ROCK??!!!" I remembered that I dropped her on the field where I fought Iron.

"What do I do? Should I go get it? or..." Before I could think any more Iron poked my head.

"Hm? What's up Iron?... Do you want to go get her?" Iron nodded as he pointed to the direction where we fight.

"So you- Speaking of which..." I turned around and saw that the wolves were all gathered.

The wolves were gathered with some wanting more sleep but still present.

"Great, all of you here, from today the classes will be practical. You will use everything you learned yesterday and put it into practice for the rest of the week or month, what's the point of learning theory if you can't put it into practice or experience to change As in the morning exercise you will run like all day but I will not follow you like the other 2 times, this time Iron will guide even if it is slow for his size, he can still be more resistant than you in a running and he can walk all day if necessary, he will show no mercy if he falls behind." I pointed at Iron.

"As soon as you arrive at the destination, Iron will help you to get a vine and tie it, everyone pulled the Rock and will bring it here." I pointed to my foot

"WITHOUT IRON'S HELP!" I warned when I saw that some wolves were finding it easy.

"You can guide Iron, take care of them" He nodded at me and walked forward.

Ravi was sad that his 'father' is not going to accompany them today but went excitedly so that he can get stronger and stronger and help his 'father' when needed and his promise.

As soon as they started to move away I thought about the exercise:

'The trip is more of a warm-up for the heavy training even though they are 67, they are all puppies and they have to pull an 800 kg rock' Then I thought about what to train.

'I think I'll start with gear second and third, I don't think it's time to advance the haki yet and I also didn't want to advance that quickly but...I need to get stronger' I thought with determination apparent on my face (His red eye is burning passionately like Maito Gai's fire when he quotes youth, but he doesn't know that author's note hehe)

Gear second takes advantage of the fact that the entire body is made of rubber and accelerates blood flow, as its veins and the rest of its organs are made of rubber, being able to stretch and contract as needed, increasing speed and strength. .'

'As Kizaru/Borsalino once said speed translates to strength... With enough speed even a coin can blow up a tank.' Of course, that's not what defines power, but if a person isn't able to react, who needs rest?' And that's his fault.

'Because he focuses on his fruit he ends up being physically weaker than the other admirals, when he took Marco's kick he fell as fast as he climbed if he had trained more his physique he could have blocked and even retaliated.'

'The disadvantage of gear second is that because your metabolism and blood flow are at a higher speed, it requires a lot of nutrients, when luffy forces your body more even though you don't have enough nutrients, it ends up reducing your life or life expectancy, in the post-timeskip luffy uses on only one part of the body thus reducing the number of nutrients, you can turn it on or off whenever you want.'(if you want to know more you can watch the anime I recommend or search on google.)

'Sweat evaporates because of metabolism and rosy skin can apply to blood at high speed throughout the body...'

'But let's take it easy, let's use the first gear second and I need meat as I'll get hungry after using the gear second for a while' I ran towards the forest.

I started running after so long without weights, and if I continue with this training, it won't be an exaggeration that I will feel as light as a feather, if I can implement rokushiki I will have a significant increase in my power.

'I know the basis of all techniques... what would happen if I used soru with gear second? I would be one of the fastest people... the more strength I have the greater my speed. Will I be faster than the flash? probably only at close range... what if i can apply gepo and soru in gear fourth???? How many ideas, will it be because of Luffy and Azmuth's mind? If so, it really is an unprecedented genius..' While I was thinking about various techniques that could be implemented in my punches, I found the target I needed and it's perfect.

I jumped from the trees to the place and there was a cheetah. 'Compared to finding a mammoth this is even acceptable, in a little while it becomes a zoo' I laugh at this thought.

The cheetah looked at me not wanting to take me seriously but his instincts were warning him that this puppy is not normal, he is ANYTHING BUT NORMAL.

The cheetah prepared either to attack with a boat, because of its speed, or to flee and never to return.

But his pride and confidence led him to the second option, pride of having won many battles and emerged victorious, confidence in his speed not knowing the mistake of not following his instincts that saved him before for two reasons every time instinct warns him of death. right or close he always manages to dodge. So even if this pup is capable of killing him, it's no use if he can't hit.

Seeing my meal and guinea pig to train taking position. (It's a cheetah, 3.7 meters or 12 feet tall.)

I looked at the cheetah who was confident in his speed and that was exactly what I was going to test the most.

I got into the classic gear second position, and pushed my leg into the ground allowing more elasticity in my leg.

(recommend that you put the fight Luffy versus Blueno because I used the same attacks and the sound of activating Gear second I couldn't transcribe.)

*Glu *Glu (I couldn't find the right onomatopoeia for the scene but watch this scene and you'll know the exact sound. Accept recommendations

*Tump

Smoke started to come out of Luffy and his skin turned pink.

"I don't have full control of this technique yet, being able to open it in a matter of seconds on a body part so...you'll be my test fight or guinea pig if you prefer." I spoke and prepared my aim for the blow, doing the classic pose when Luffy didn't have Kenbushoku.

"Gomu Gomu noo..."

The cheetah felt death hovering over him at that moment, as he began to speak his instincts screamed madly, but now he was as silent as death itself.

"Jet PISTOL"

The punch was so fast it didn't even look like my hand had moved if it wasn't for the afterimage of her.

The cheetah ran even before the attack came out and...

*BOOM!!!

The punch hit the trees behind him continuously destroying for 10 meters.

He wondered if that punch hit him and saw only his death, so he started to run.

I saw the cheetah running away but I didn't care much, after all I knew he was going to dodge the blow since he was dodging before I shot but I need more testing to get used to the gear second.

I disappeared from my place and went after the cheetah, 8 seconds later I was on top of his head.

I decided to use the same attacks that luffy used the first time, it will be cool and I won't focus on hitting him since I want more time against him and focus on the feel of the gear second... so I can use him much more easily like luffy use later.

'But at the same time I have to be fast even though I have a lot of nutrients in my body I didn't eat breakfast...but considering how much meat I ate I should have enough time' I gave a sly smile.

'Combo time'

'JET PISTOL' I aimed randomly at his right leg.

*BOOM

Instincts saved him by dodging that attack but... we all know that the cheetah is the fastest in a straight line and loses speed when zigzagging.

I fell and instantly disappeared, appearing beside the cheetah..

"RIFLE" This time I hit the cheetah's stomach right on the side.

The cheetah flew into the trees and with Luffy's post-timeskip strength he beat a PX with one punch, even without Luffy's full strength and invisible haki this punch was very strong.

Before even the cheetah hit the trees or touch the ground, Luffy appeared on top of him, landing another blow to the belly, crushing him to the ground.

I appeared on the side of his head landing a punch that sent him to the other side again.

Even the wounded cheetah managed to balance itself in the air and tried to start running again for its life.

But before that, Luffy appears on a tree trunk.

"STAMP" Hitting him right in the head making him eat dirt.

"AND YARI" Hit the cheetah's spine, making it impossible to move again.

Luffy held the cheetah's torso" MISSILE!"

Hitting the ribcage right and finally ending the suffering of the cheetah that would die anyway.

"*Sigh! this technique really consumes nutrients I feel that if I stay like this for another 10 minutes I'll be very hungry, we have to prepare this meat quickly so..." I thought and started to position the cheetah's body.

"I don't know if it will work but with the mistakes that grow so..." I tied both my hands to the trees and started to stretch towards my temporary home as soon as I reached the body I tied one of my legs to the cheetah's body tightly.

"Gomu gomu no..." I calculated my weight, possible wind force up there, wind resistance and the force at which I will be launched.

"Jet Rocket" I was thrown along with the cheetah but when I was going the trunk breaks like this losing half of the strength and weight.

'Forgot to calculate the damn trunk resistance!' I was thrown with less than half the planned force.

But I did what I do best now... improvise.

Taking advantage of the fact that we were still at maximum speed and against gravity, I filled up with air and quickly let go, giving me greater speed and flight sustainability.

I did this 6 more times before gravity started pulling me to the ground but it was enough.

I made it to the base but the landing isn't going to be the most comfortable... well at least for the meat.

I'm starting to get tired, and now that I've ballooned like 6 times with gear second still on, I won't be able to dampen it by ballooning so...

"OOOOW!!!"

*Bang!

"We've finally arrived" I've already disabled gear second when we crash the problem is-

*Snoring

"How hungry... if the tree hadn't broken I wouldn't have spent so much energy, let's prepare the meat quickly... I don't feel that this guerpado can appease my hunger after all he is naturally thin..." I complained when preparing the food. meat and after a while put it on fire.

Waiting for the meat to roast I started to eat some fruit that was around.

'I used gear second for more than 10 minutes and I feel like I haven't eaten for more than 2 days, well considering I haven't had coffee and my first time using it is fair.'

.

.

.

"FINALLY!!! THE MEAT IS READY" After thanking me I started to devour it frantically, I felt a very big animal nearby and it's better that this cheetah didn't have much meat after all.

I intended to just be eating when the animal came out of the woods and started to approach I dropped what I was eating and quickly got into position wanting to take this fight as soon as possible this time with the invisible haki activated because I was no longer testing the gear second.

*Pump *Pump (Do you prefer this one or the first time?)

"Gear Second"

It was a bear and he felt the extreme danger he turned around and started running.

I stretched my arms behind me as I ran to the bear.

"Gomu Gomu no Jet Bazooka"

I hit the bear right in the ass since he had his back to me.

The blow was so hard on the bear that he was crushed and thrown between the trees causing destruction, the bones completely crushed, crushing his entire interior causing internal bleeding and several other diagnoses for this guy.

I quickly grabbed the bear and ran to start roasting him too.

It was starting to get dark.

'Looks like pulling that rock for the puppies was harder than it looks, but it's for the best.' I felt that they were on their way slowly but surely.

'It's good that even with all this weight they didn't give up' I looked at the meat that would take a little longer to be ready and the other puppies will take a little longer.

'Should I go over all the fighting forms I remember from One Piece? I already know how Rokushiki works, fishman karate only in theory but it must be possible, Hasshoken used by the Chinjao family, there's Sabo's technique too but it's not my style...' After some time thinking I decided the order in which I would go learn the techniques.

'I'll start with Rokushiki first as it will depend more on the physique, which is good for me as I'm still young. Would it work for me to teach Rokushiki to Ravi or Iron?... I think they would only be able to learn a technique because of their physiology and I don't know how long it will take them to learn the technique.' While thinking of a proper technique they finally arrived.

Everyone was very tired, not tired seems blasphemous considering their state, they were dirty, sweating, hungry and many as soon as they arrived they fell to the floor but...

Ravi was still trying to pull the rock, he had two reasons to continue first is that Luffy said to put it right where he was earlier and second is that his 'father' carries that rock up and down all day but even with It took 67 wolf pups all day to bring her in, so he wanted to keep going even though most had fallen.

Suddenly Ravi didn't seem to be carrying any weight and he ended up falling to the ground because of that, looking back he saw that his vine ripped before he even tried to get up again he felt he was caught.

Looking at Ravi who was struggling even with the majority as soon as he arrived falling, I was very proud but this situation can be bad for his body even though he is different from normal wolves.

"No need to continue Ravi, you did great. Even if you couldn't pull the rock any longer, you wanted to keep going and when the vine tore, you would start to push, wouldn't you?" I caressed him knowing his response.

"Ravi I'm proud of your determination to get stronger but take it easy you're still a puppy, one step at a time okay?" Ravi, who was going to agree with him, suddenly felt a wave of pure tiredness and ended up passing out.

"*Sigh* You tried too hard..." I turned towards Iron.

"Did you have any problems during the trip? Animals attacking or something?" I asked since Iron's goal was to defend them while I was gone.

Iron remembered that he had a big Eagle, a little smaller than him, he wanted to eat the cubs but Iron stopped him thanks to Ravi, because of the aerial disadvantage he couldn't hit him significantly.

Ravi looking at the situation and the rock they were carrying, told Ferro to pick up nearby rocks and throw it at the Eagle, Iron did exactly as he was told.

The eagle took a direct hit and passed out in the process.

Iron nodded as he remembered how frustrated he was that he couldn't hit the eagle.

"That's good... Thanks for protecting them while I was gone, you know I won't always be there for that." He said to Iron with a weak smile on his face.

"Well it's time to eat the meat is ready and there's for everyone-" I broke off when I saw them all too tired to go eat even hungry after all.

"You can eat later, I'll leave it to you" I said knowing their situation.

Iron looked around and saw that there were bones already touching Luffy and pointing to the bones in doubt.

"Oh?! That Iron? It's a cheetah I hunted I was training a technique and I needed food he was perfect for both situations" I replied and smiled with the great luck of finding the cheetah.

Iron broke into a cold sweat because he has seen the terror of a cheetah, he is not agile like a snake but is fast, seeing most if not all of his broken bones including cracks in his head, thought what technique could be able to beat a speedster so badly.

"Well, I'll eat now and leave the rest for you, but don't sleep in late, ok?" I warned the wolves and put Ravi down and headed towards the meat to eat.

But the same moment I put him down he started to shake and cry weakly.

*Sigh

'The event of almost dying of hunger and being physically and psychologically attacked must have put a trauma, only time can heal what I can do now is...' I took him in my lap and went towards the meat.

'Take care until the time comes' I sat down and started to eat my share of the meat and went towards the Iron to sleep, today was a tiring day.

I took a piece of meat with me and went to sleep.

After a few hours Ravi woke up with his body aching he saw that the food was a little far from him but as soon as he was going to walk to get the food he smelled a smell and looked to the side and saw that there was enough meat for him that he didn't ate all day with heavy exercise.

He realized that his 'father' must have caught him thinking

Luffy took it because it's time to rest his muscles and that Ravi had already put in enough effort that day.

Remembering his nightmare and soon after everything was calm again he was afraid that day would come back, having nightmares but every time he sleeps close to his 'father' he only has good dreams, eating with some tears running down his eyes he felt a hand on top of your head.

"I said I was going to pet you later didn't I?" With a smile that hardly leaves his face.

Ravi was happy about this but wanted to hide his tears.

"Alright, that's all over and I'm here now, you're getting stronger don't be afraid. It won't happen again" Luffy said quietly knowing that the experience wasn't the best.

"As soon as you finish sleep a lot tomorrow we won't have training, you guys worked hard today" As soon as I finished talking I went back to sleep.

The moment I felt a movement I woke up seeing it was Ravi I calmed down, but seeing him with a sad expression I had to say something to him, I hope he gets better and sees his past as something he must overcome.

As soon as he finished eating he lay on top of Luffy and looked at him one last time and fell asleep.

That night he dreamed about his past even with Luffy but the dream was not the same this time the wolves walked away from him looking like they had a little fear and respect for him.

He saw Luffy in front of that cave too lit up to see anything but he had grown to the size of his 'father' he saw Luffy smiling at him and turning around and he also ran beside Luffy.

And so ended another day for them, full of new things and a little prophetic dreams? See you in the next chapter reader.
