Training Spot

Last night I got a call from Aunt Lina that I have to meet her at the woods near the marine base at 5 am through my transponder snail.

yep, I got it just tomorrow when we were returning to sima island. (transponder snail)

After freshening up I was ready for my day.

It's 4:50 now I should get going or I would be late

swoosh

tap tap tap

While running through the woods I can say waking up early feels good it freshens up your body and mind but the only thing I lack now is a proper breakfast.

but anyways what can I do I was already late waking up if I had wasted my time on breakfast It would have taken me longer.

...

After a while, I saw Aunt Lina standing ahead waiting at a clearing nearby.

As got near her I saw her looking at meet waiting for me to come near her.

And Man if I haven't told you in her description before that she is big, I mean big for me at least.

Oh no don't get me wrong their big means she's a lot taller than me by a head at least, I mean she has to be about 230cm

I know that people in this world are big but she is too tall for women even for this world's standard right?

who I am kidding when I don't even know the whole world anyway.

As I stood before her.

"Are you ready?" Aunt Lina asked.

"Hai" I nodded at that.

"Good then follow me," Aunt Lina told me then start walking inside the woods

"Can I ask something?"I spoke with some nervousness.

" Ask away" While walking she said.

as I followed her.

"Can I get a devil fruit after I join the Marines" I spoke with some uncertainty.

that was something I wanted to know as devil fruit could increase my chances of surviving this world.

"how do you know they even exist as they are said to be myths right" she abruptly turned to me and asked.

Now I am in a dilemma if I said to her that I know it from watching anime would she believe me? No! hell no She would think I have gone mad so I have to come up with something.

"I have read it in a book," I said with some trepidation

as I know those predatory eyes she is looking at me watching my every move if I even for a second I flinch from my word I would be caught so I have to be careful and so I tried to hide my trepidation as best as I can.

but failed miserably.

"did you look into my books," She looked at me with a dangerous aura that was making my knees buckle.

I was close to kneeling.

but still mustering up the courage I answered with difficulty.

by nodding my head.

then I felt that aura receded.

f*** this woman who asks their nephew something like this with this much pressure, I was close to passing out.

but my thoughts were interrupted.

"Never touch my stuff you get that" She said to me in a threatening manner and again that aura came.

I just nodded in reply.

then she turned around to face the other side.

" What did you see in there" she inquires.

" Just the book" I replied f*** of course I am lying.

I don't even know where her stuff is so how can I see anything,

but I can not say that right and get myself another questioning session.

"then that's good," she said while looking at the other side.

"Why do you want a devil fruit," She asked.

" cause it will help me increase my strength" I replied to her.

" for that huh do you even know what a devil fruit does to people," She asks.

"No" I shook my head.

"Once you eat a devil fruit you lose your ability to swim forever," she said.

"Oh! That I know that" I replied.

"And you still want a devil fruit," She asks.

I nod my head to that.

" Are you an idiot in this world full of water you want to live without being able to swim and live as an anchor

sigh

listen Amos weakness Is a sin remember it, either it is to keep your freedom or protect what's dear to you will need strength t if you eat that thing then the very world would be your weakness" She said shouting at me.

"But how can I increase my strength fast," I asked with indignation.

"Why are you in a hurry any way I can see the anxiety in you from the day you came to me asking for training equipment what is it? Amos!," She asks.

at that, I just looked down without saying anything.

after some time of not getting any answers

she sighed.

"If you don't want to say it that's ok with me but you don't become strong in a night Amos even if you eat a devil fruit it will just give you some abilities but to grow strong you need relentless training and time to grow and I have already told you I will train you into a strong marine,

And now for your question, you will not get the Devil fruit there as It is only given to the certain rank of and strength of people in the marine and that too depends on their value" she said.

"Sigh so no devil fruit for me then," I said in a hushed tone.

"You don't need the weapon and devil fruit to grow in strength let me ask you do you know what your strong point is," She asked me.

"I don't know" I replied.

"You have talent and a gifted body, Amos your talent for martial arts and with your strong physique you could grow to be a formidable opponent for anyone if honed properly and I am going to do just that, now come with me". She said with confidence.

POV Lina

As I was telling him all that I must say even I was surprised by his growth when I saw him after 3 months.

Especially the changes to his strength and the power he could exert with those limbs of his are not something that happens in just 3 months.

and the stance he showed while fighting the kendo brat was a good one if not for the sword he might have put up a good fight but alas this fool was hell-bent on learning with the sword.

But now I am gonna train him into a fighter that even those swordsmen will fear that he so wanted to prevail as.

hmph those pus*** relying on weapons.

As I was out of my thought.

" Then where should I be training," Amos asked with some confusion on his face.

'get ready to go into hell-mode training brat' In thought

I said" Did you see that cave up ahead " I showed him my training spot.

We were close to the mountainous part of the woods as this is the best part for some intense training.

MC pov

"Oh that one," I said.

while looking at the cave I could say its height was triple my height that's with a breadth of 10 meters.

I turned to my aunt

" What is this place," I asked

A training place she replied.

" You would stay inside for 2 months". she said.

huh huh???
