Spar

Finishing the entire tiger, Ace, Sabo, and Luffy had huge stomachs. Only Gjhin looked the same as normal. With their meal done, Luffy went to sleep right away, leaving his two elder brothers to discuss with Gjhin.

"Okay, since you've figured out how to use your Devil Fruit ability, you should be fine with hunting. Later, we will hunt a boar that is almost five meters tall. Since it will be at night time, it will be easier to get it into the hideout without being discovered." Ace said.

"We've already found the location it frequents on its hunts. We will become the hunter while it turns into the prey. First, Ace and I will distract it from the sides over here, while you and Luffy will come in behind and sneak attack."

"This plan should work out fine, since you're the strongest one here, and are even with Ace without your Devil Fruit. If the sneak attack fails, all four of us will attack at the same time. Without its tusks, the boar is much weaker than with it." Sabo added in, as he pointed at the marked location on the map, using his hands to explain the plan.

"Got it. This shouldn't be too hard if things go south, I will hold the boar back while you guys escape, after all, I will have a much higher chance of survival than you guys." Gjhin nodded, adding his own thoughts.

Ace and Sabo seemed to have agreed but didn't respond, after all, nobody wanted their plans to go south, but things don't always go as planned. Right now, it was only a little bit past noon, it was still too early to go out hunting. So, Gjhin suggested training with Ace and Sabo, as well as Luffy when he wakes up.

They thought it was a good idea. If Gjhin used his Devil Fruit ability, he could fight all three of them by himself. Though, he couldn't use his ability to its fullest yet, it hadn't even been half a day yet since he woke up and learned of his ability, it was impossible for him to be proficient in it already.

Ding! Ding!

The sound of metal being smashed together could be heard, echoing loudly within a hidden treehouse. Currently, there were four boys holding iron pipes and sparring. One boy had black hair and wore a white top with a vest on top, and pants that were neither shorts nor pants. Instead, it went down to just below the knees.

In his hand, was an iron pipe that he used to parry and attack the three boys that were working together against him. With Ace coming at him from the fight, Gjhin enhanced his speed, rotating his body and slammed his iron pipe at Sabo's waist.

Ding!

Sabo reacted and used both hands to grip tightly onto his iron pipe and blocked Gjhin's attack. He was pushed back slightly, but could still attack. Luffy charged over as well, an iron pipe suddenly appeared out of nowhere and slammed hard into Luffy.

Since he was made of rubber, Gjhin's attack had no effect on Luffy, it only flung him backward even if he hit him with all his strength.

Whoosh!

An iron pipe came crashing down onto the floor with a bang. Gjhin had barely managed to dodge Ace's attack. With the position he was in, it was hard for the latter to attack again. Gjhin took this chance to bend down and slam his iron pipe onto the back of Ace's one, making him fall forward.

At the same time, Sabo came rushing at him. Rotating his body, Gjhin used his leg and swept the ground unexpectedly, making Sabo fall over. In an instant, he had knocked over the three brothers onto the ground.

On the ground, Ace, Sabo, and Luffy all got up slowly. Using their eyes to give each other a signal, they all jumped at Gjhin at the same time, giving him no space to avoid. Since they surrounded him in every direction, Gjhin had no choice but to defend, or take some hits in order to attack at the same time, it was something he had to decide within two seconds.

Whoosh! Cling!

He shifted his iron pipe sideways, allowing him to try and defend against Ace and Sabo, leaving Luffy alone to attack him. However, he only managed to block Sabo's attack, while he felt a sharp pain on his waist.

With one free hand, he grabbed onto Ace's iron pipe and held it tightly, as black lines ran across his arms, holding it in place so that Ace was stuck. He pulled it hard, as he twisted and slammed his elbow into Sabo's iron pipe, while Luffy struck him in the head.

"Ouch!" Gjhin cried out. He let go of his iron pipe and turned around to Luffy, grabbing him before throwing him into Sabo with one arm. He then lifted Ace's iron pipe into the air, causing Ace to be lifted up as well.

Letting go, he jumped into the air behind Ace and kept his two hands together, slamming his hands onto Ace's back, after withdrawing his Devil Fruit ability.

Bang!

Once again, Ace was lying on the ground, while Luffy and Sabo were tangled together at a wall. The three of them ganged up on him, but only managed to land two solid hits, only Ace's attack on his waist was effective, which lead to Luffy having to opportunity to strike his head.

Even though he won, he had a large lump on his head. Catching his breath, he sat down while rubbing his head, at the same time, the three brothers got up and sat down with him.
