233. Training on Rusukaina

They saw a giant Lion, growling at them. Its eyes were bloodshot red, showing its bloodthirsty state.

"Haha... It's just a lion. My fist can make dents in metal, he's just meat. Let's eat him today." Garp haughtily stretched his arm and walked towards the lion.

*ROAR*

"Stop, him Sengoku, that Lion is not simple. Did you forget what sensei said? Even Vice-admirals can't beat the animals here." Tsuru spoke.

Sengoku quickly ran after Garp. Meanwhile, Garp prepared to punch the oncoming lion. Little by little, when the Lion got too close, Garp finally realized that his Punch wouldn't work. The Lion's mouth alone was big enough to swallow him whole.

*BOOM*

The lion pounced on him. But at the right moment, Sengoku grabbed him and lept away. They quickly started running from the lion.

On the other side, Tsuru started making some sound traps to distract the lion away from them. Then she threw it at the Lion's tail. Now the lion kept on thinking that the target was behind him and ignored them for a second. That was all they needed and they ran like there was no tomorrow.

The three went as far as they could from there and dug a cave for themselves and put a big boulder as a door.

They sat down in a circle with grave looks on their faces.

"We are supposed to live here for a whole month," Garp said in a monotonous voice.

"And we only have rations for one week," Sengoku added.

"So this means we need to prepare during this week. Observation Haki and Armament Haki are the only things that can make us stronger. Right now, we are at the bottom of the food chain on this island." Tsuru shared her thoughts.

Sengoku clenched his fist and firmly spoke, "I am 22, If that Z can become an Admiral at just 32 then I will aim to become the fleet Admiral. Justice shall reign under me."

Garp looked at him, "Well, I will beat you to it then. Bwahahaha..."

*BAM*

Tsuru punched his face, "You can't even survive and dream of becoming fleet Admiral?"

"Ah... Tsuru-Chan, what is your goal?" Garp asked.

"I just wanted to bring pirates back to the good path." She slowly said, thinking that the two would laugh but they didn't.

"Haha... Then let's drink water. Vice-Admiral by the age of 30. If any of us loses then they'd give 70% of their salary for a year to others." Garp suggested.

They quickly took out their water pouches and clanked it.

After their small cheering session, the trio sat down to start focusing on their Observation Haki.

...

Back on the ship near the island, Alexander was teaching Noodles how to fight. Noodles had his fangs but didn't know how to use them.

*Peruperuperuperuperu....*

"What?" Alexander answered the Den Den Mushi.

"Admiral Universe. You have new orders. A world noble wants to see the fish-man island. You are the closest Admiral. I want you to escort him there." Fleet Admiral Kong spoke.

"I am busy." Alexander uninterestingly replied.

His answer infuriated Kong, "THIS IS AN ORDER FROM ABOVE. YOU MUST FOLLOW IT THROUGH."

Alexander sipped on his drink and answered, "Oh no... I see a pirate ship. I must go and bring them to justice." He cut the call.

Alexander looked back at Noodles, "No noodles, that's a practice dummy. You need to fight it, not hug it and make friends."

...

Marineford, Marine Headquarters.

*BAM*

"So, he refused?" A voice came.

Kong looked at the man sitting on the sofa, the current chief of CP9.

"I am telling you. Do not provoke him. The World Government cannot afford to make him their enemy no matter what he does. If it were me I'd suggest inducting him as a World Noble. With his power, the world government would never have to worry about anything." Kong warned Azrail. That was his code name, meaning the angel of death. He had never failed any assassination mission and was extremely loyal to the World Government.

"Oow... You look scared. I didn't expect that from the Fleet Admiral and possibly the next Commander in Chief." Azrail mocked. But even he knew that he would be able to defeat Kong. The man was so strong that it had blinded the world government to bring him under the fold no matter what.

"I'm not scared. I'm telling the truth. Not many people know this but there is a reason why the World Government tolerates him. I may publicly be called the strongest Marine but I am nowhere near him.

"Before I got promoted, I had thought that he would become the fleet Admiral. But then I got the promotion. I was not satisfied so I went to him and challenged him for a duel.

"Do you want to know what happened?... I lost... I lost miserably. First, he toyed with me by dodging anything I threw at him. Then with just one punch from him, I was down. Unable to wake up, with a punctured liver and damaged kidneys. That's the kind of monster he is." Kong clutched his fist as he remembered that embarrassment. But he also respected the old man for that. Because after fighting him his fire to get stronger reignited.

Azrail was gobsmacked by this intel. He was the chief of CP9 and yet didn't know about this. Meaning that this was a secret of the highest level and if he spread it then to any non-World Government member then it meant only death for him.

But he also had another Idea now, ~Becoming the chief of CP0 sounds nice. It seems I'll have to work for my promotion now.~

Kong didn't know what Azrail was thinking and just continued, "So I'm telling you to stay away from him."

"I will... Keep your words in mind. Take care, Fleet Admiral." Azrail left.

...

1 week later,

Back on the island, the trio had practiced as hard as they could to master their Haki. Their practice included trying to crack a 5-tonne boulder in half and trying to observe 5 kilometers of the area around them.

This time they didn't disappoint Alexander as they were successful. The three had also developed good teamwork. Now was the time to start rising up in the food chain. Not just to get stronger but because they had run out of food.

But their problems weren't just the animals. Since three days ago, the climate of the island had changed, and now it was heavily snowing. They didn't have thick clothes so looking for furry animals was also on their agenda.

"There's a pack of 5 wolves five kilometers in that direction. We can get them all if we make a surprise attack." Tsuru proposed.

"Alright, let's do this." They all agreed.

The wolves were quite strong and they were barely able to beat them all. They quickly picked up all the bodies and ran back to their cave as other animals might get attracted to the smell of blood. Not to mention they themselves were injured. One of the wolves had also cut Garp near his eye. Thankfully it was not too deep.

That night, they cooked the meat in their small cave and ate until their heart's content. After all, they were just staying alive on simple military rations for the past week and it had no meat.

They also made themselves nice clothes from Wolf's fur.

"This will last us 2 days," Sengoku assessed their rations.

Garp was too busy eating so he didn't say anything. Tsuru started, "Yes, we will keep practicing and getting stronger while gathering food. Let's just hope we don't meet the apex predators of this island before we get strong enough."

"Bwahahaha... Just like that lion right? This time I will beat him for sure." Garp commented and picked another big chunk of meat.

Sengoku and Tsuru just shook their heads. This was a typical Garp for them.

...

"Boss, they have passed the level one," Dobby reported.

"Haha... The game has just begun. I've divided that island's animals into 6 levels. 1- 5 and S. Let's hope they don't meet that S anytime soon or else I'll have to go there." Alexander revealed.

"Well, they are currently in Lion's territory so they won't meet S anytime soon. S lives too far away from them up at the mountain." Dobby added.

"Yes, but it also comes down from there sometimes."

"It depends on their luck then." Dobby sighed.
