(10) Training Simulator, Fighting Powerful Beasts!

I walked up stairs to my room in the dojo, I was really tired. I kept trying to sneak away but Aoki kept on catching me and dragging me back, it was a nightmare.

I fell on my bed and went to sleep instantly, tomorrow I'd try out the virtual training simulator.

-----

" *Yawn* What time is it? *Yawn*" I woke up and spoke.

I got out of bed and did the usual, brushed my teeth and washed my face. I put on some normal clothes and walked downstairs; I saw Mr. Koushirou training Kuina and Aoki.

It's honestly really rare for Aoki to wake up before me, and when she does it's only ever when it's a special occasion.

Aoki's eyes wandered towards the stairs, and they eventually landed on me, her exhausted expression immediately turned into one of happiness.

"Avery's finally up! Come on Kuina let's spar now!" Aoki said as she urged Kuina to get up, I thought about the date and suddenly remembered; it's time for their weekly spar.

Aoki and Kuina had been doing this weekly spar thing, whoever lost would have to cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner until the next time they sparred.

Aoki, of course lost more times than Kuina and had to cook more. I was alright with it at first because I didn't think Aoki would be a bad cook, but man how I regret it now. The first time I had a taste of her cooking was the first and the last, my taste buds couldn't take it.

It was that bad! After that day, Aoki was banned from ever cooking in the kitchen again thankfully. Now I enjoy the delicacies created by Kuina, seriously her skills in the kitchen are REAL; I think she rivals Sanji in terms of cooking talent.

Anyway, I think it's time I test out this virtual training simulator. I walked outside towards the outdoor training ground and looked around to make sure nobody was here. System, activate the training simulator!

[Activating Virtual Training Simulator]

[Teleporting Host...]

After hearing this my mind went blank.

[Welcome Host to the Virtual Training Simulator!]

I looked around and found myself on an island similar to the one Luffy was on during his two year training.

[Great observation host! This is in fact a virtual copy of the island: Rusukaina, the island of the beasts!]

Wow, impressive.

[The beasts on this island are at the same power level as the beasts on the real island, the weakest beast on this islands strength being at the level of a Captain and the strongest being at the level of a Vice-Admiral.]

Hmm, so the strongest beast on this island is at the same level as current Garp.

System, could you guide me to the weaker areas of the island?

[Yes]

A moment later a map appeared in my hand, it was a map of the island. The map had a key on it, the white areas on the map signified the areas where the captain level beasts were located.

There was a weird looking black dot on the map, when I moved it also moved so I assumed it was me.

I used the dot to traverse to a white area on the map, after a good ten to fifteen minutes of walking; I finally found a beast, it was a big red lizard.

It was easily taller than me; I decided to use [𝙿𝚒𝚛𝚊𝚝𝚎 𝙺𝚒𝚗𝚐'𝚜 𝙴𝚢𝚎] on it and inspect it's abilities.

[RED ARMORED LIZARD'S ABILITIES ]

Combat Style: Lizards Fierce Fists

Haki: Busoshoku (Advanced) Kenbunshoku (Intermediate)

Unique Ability: Lizards Fist Barrage

I realized that I had been spotted, but it had been too late; the red lizard sent a haki filled punch flying towards my head.

I used Soru, and flashed out of the way of its punch. Thankfully my observation haki had been strong enough, otherwise my head would've went splat.

I looked back at the red lizard and unsheathed my sword, only to put it back in its sheathe. I almost forgot what I came here for, to train my haki; if I used my sword it'd defeat the purpose.

I walked up to the red lizard, who was preparing another haki filled punch to attack me with.

It ran towards me and punched me, I used Kami-e and dodged the punch. I used Shigan to pierce it's armor and it's body, I retracted my finger from it's body and it was covered in green blood; disgusting.

The red lizard gave me a nasty look and sent another punch at me, the lizard wasn't one of the smartest creatures as it kept on resorting to using that same punch over and over again.

Hell, but who was I to complain? I used its low IQ to my advantage and sent a strong punch flying towards the area where I pierced its body the first time, as my punch traversed through the air to the body of the lizard; a switch went off inside of my head. When the switch was flicked, my fist darkened and turned rock hard as if it wasn't my bare fist anymore, it was more like a black gauntlet.

"Armament Haki!" I shouted in joy, my darkened fist came in contact with the body of the red lizard and sent it flying. The lizard crashed into a nearby tree, and its green blood was splattered everywhere.

[HIDDEN QUEST COMPLETED: Train Busoshoku Haki to the Intermediate Rank! Obtained: One South Blue Box, Book of Busoshoku Haki]

[WEEKLY QUEST TRIGGERED: Kill One Hundred Beasts! Rewards: Medium Increase in Haoshoku, Busoshoku , and Kenbunshoku Haki Level!]

Book of Bosushoku Haki? What's that?

[In simple terms, a guide towards strengthening your Busoshoku Haki. Also a guide towards techniques like imbuing your Haoshoku Haki into your Busoshoku Haki, and even using the Haki old man Hypo Goro used in the Wano arc!]

Hmm, that'll be pretty useful. How much will my level actually be increased by after completing the weekly quest, I don't know what you consider "medium".

[Medium, meaning that you'd be halfway towards an increase in rank!]

Okay! Anyway on to killing more beasts!
