In One Piece As a pirate

Chapter: 6

"Rood, don't tell me that you know those martial arts." Duke was the first person to react when he learned that his childhood friend was secretly learning Navy martial arts.

"Okay, don't get too excited; let me finish my speech first." Rood didn't reply.

"To learn Navy six styles, the first requirement is to have a strong body. Only then can we start learning that technique." Rood took everyone's first requirement seriously.

"The first one of the six styles is called Soru (shave). This technique allows its user to move very quickly on the ground; it's so fast that the user will vanish like the wind before you can even blink. To achieve that level of speed, a person needs to kick the ground ten times in the blink of an eye."

"I don't know anything more specific about that technique; that's all I know. You guys have to figure it out by yourselves."

"Well, I am not trying to put pressure on you guys; I am just informing you guys so that when we fight a marine vice admiral or something, even if you are unable to learn those techniques, I just want you to be prepared for the worst outcome." Before Rood can even finish his speech, his four crews and Duke are already excited to try learning those techniques, even though they know it's very hard for them.

"The next style is Tekkai (iron body). You guys may know that when we fight with someone but can't defeat that guy, we try our best to harden the body so that we can at least try the last of our strength."

"This is the application of Tekkai, which is hardening the body muscles to the point where they replicate their bodies like iron. It can even reflect bullets."

"But it has two weaknesses: one, you can't move; and two, if the opponent has a harder body than you, you will be hammered to death. Except for some genius who can overcome the first weakness."

The more they learn, the more they cannot hold their emotions. Their emotions are now mixed with excitement, fear, surprise, hope, etc.

 "The next style I want to tell you is Geppo (moon walk). This style is needed for everyone. To learn Soru (shave), one needs very high leg power; the same is true for the Geppo (moon walk). Here, we need even more leg power, I think ten times or something."

"The application of this technique is to kick the air with your tremendous leg strength. With that, you can create an illusion platform so that you can walk on the air."

"Next one, Rankyaku (tempest kick). Its application is to slash your leg like a blade or sabre and create compressed air like a wind blade. We can regard this technique user as a swordsman."

"There is also a technique called Shigan (finger pistol). You can understand its name. It needs a strong finger; with that, you can pierce your opponent's body like a bullet, and if your strength is huge, you can even send compressed air like a bullet to a long-distance opponent."

"The last one is Kami-e (paper art). The application of this technique is to relax the user's body so as to replicate a paper, which grants the user superhuman flexibility."

"For the time being, that's enough knowledge for you guys. There are some people who learn those techniques during their fight without any instructor. So, from today onward, all of you start your exercise to make your body stronger so that you can learn Rokushiki before we start our journey to the Grand Line." Rood went away, left Duke with them.

Roods went away before they could even react. 

"Well, I already told them what I know; the rest will be left to their learning ability." Rood Went to Chef Mokume for another speech about Navy six style.

On the other side, Duke, Zamp, Lucky, Gable, and Beckett. Their breathing is not stable, and their eyes have changed from normal to red. Although Duke is stronger than those around him, he still couldn't control his emotions. 

About ten minutes later, Duke stood up and looked at the four rookie members.

"This is a medium-sized island; from today, we will run around the island every day. Now I don't know if you guys can keep up. First, we try to make one lap every day and try to increase it within one month.

Rood told everyone about the Navy six-style. Just like that, another day has passed.

Rood starts his gun and Sabre exercise. After his fight with Zaizoo, Rood Sword's speed has increased a lot. So in sword, his exercise is the basic 8 moves, and he tries to be comfortable, like Sabre is his hand.

Rood knew very well that it would take a lot of time, but he still didn't give up.

Just like that, 14 days have passed.

The Rood daily routine includes practices, fighting with [K. Kish, Mokume, and Duke] (1 vs. 3), eating, and sleeping.

Duke has one more job than everyone, which is to train eight combatants and Zamp.

Rood told those who use guns in their battle to run a lap with Duke and practice dodging skills, which they had never heard of. All they have to do is dodge the coming blunt object (7-cm-thick tree branch).

But their routine is going to change today because a pirate ship is coming in their direction.

 "Do they have a bounty?" Rood, look at the pirate ship, and ask his navigator.

K. Kish searched for a wanted poster. "Well, here comes our money. Captain Its about 10 million bellies."

"Don't worry, everyone; we will kill them. It won't take that long." Rood is assuring everyone because he knows immediately that the opponent isn't that strong.

When that ship landed on the sandy beach, they started to fight. 

This time, it took only 15 minutes to kill all the pirates. 

"Well, there is a little improvement. Everyone, this was a little pirate. So, don't get too happy. There are a lot of powerful pirates out there who can crush us in only a few seconds. Keep up your daily exercise." Roods looked at his crew members, who were laughing like monkeys.

The day went by like the same routine; 15 days have passed. Between these days, five pirate groups came to this island, but none of them could defeat the Roods pirates.

Today is the day they will set sail again; their destination is the Roshwan Kingdom.
