Stoner's POV
I look at my now unconscious student. The injury that I received in the sparring session, nay beat down session was not something I thought my student could do to me.
It seems my sickness is getting worse by the day and it is already showing when I fight. I had to push my body beyond the limits, based on the calculations of the doctors in the marines in the past, I should be dead by now, I should have died 2 years ago in fact.
I sighed and carried my student to the cave that we have been calling our home ever since we started his training regiment. We found this cave after 2 days of staying in the forest. It was an accidental find, the only reason why we found it was because a boar ran towards it to hide from Enzo. During that time I assigned him to get us something to eat, the boar was his target. I must admit, I should probably thank that boar, because of that animal we didn't need to make camp every night. It also helps that the cave is half a kilometer away from a river, which is an added bonus in itself.
I placed my student on the side of the cave, and I went out to catch something to eat. One word that I can describe the talent of my student is, 'good enough'. He's not a prodigy like Garp or like the up and coming stars of the marines; Kuzan, Sakazuki, and Borsalino, no he's far from that. He's someone that doesn't give up.
Due to my time table, I had pushed his training to the brink of impossibility. The amount of physical torture that he received is something that I am proud of. I can't even honestly say that I can do the training that he had done.
I suddenly got out of my inner musing when I heard a rustling in one of the bushes. I used my observation haki and realized it was dear, it seems it has not sensed my presence. I took a pebble in the ground and place a small amount of my armament haki on it, and I threw it at the dear.
"THUD!"
The sound of something hitting flesh was soon heard in my surroundings. The birds that were staying on the branches of the trees near me became scared and immediately flew away. I went towards my prey, who was already dead now, it was a fairly decent size stag. I carried it on my shoulder and began walking back towards the cave.
Some people might not like spending their last days doing what I'm doing. I had a wonderful life, the amount of money I was able to gather throughout my career as a vice admiral in nothing to scoff at. In fact, it's large enough to make a baby leave a life of comfort till the day they die, multiply that by three times and that's how much I have in my name. But something in me didn't like that, something in me wanted something else.
The moment I returned to the cave, I began skinning the animal and starting a fire for the camp. I took a sturdy stick and took some chop meat on it, I did it multiple times and began cooking for dinner.
Death, death was coming for me and nothing could stop it. It makes you think of the things that you always wanted to do, or have. I look at my unconscious student with a smile on my face. I gave up most of my life to the marines, due to this I was always busy. Putting the safety of others as I went towards danger. It was not a good life to have a family.
I can't imagine what my family would feel if they heard that I died in battle, that was the reason why I never tried to make one. My life was always on the line, why would I place my suppose family through the pain of losing me. A reason that now I believe is stupid, death will do that to you. It makes you question everything you have done or everything you didn't do.
I carefully made sure that the meat I was cooking wasn't burned. I took the already cook one and placed it on a plate. I brought the plate towards the nose of my sleeping student. The scent of the meat slowly drifted towards his nose, at first, his nose began to twitch due to the smell. Then suddenly he opened his eyes and quickly tried to grab the plate of meat in front of him. I immediately move it up so that he won't take it and I said to him, "HAHAHAHA. Go cook some more, I'll be asking for second's later". I began to eat the barbecued meat in front of him. With a dejected look on his face, he began cooking more food.
Yet here I am, taking care of a brat since he was 7 years old. Is this what a father feels like? I'm not sure. I didn't even care about the repercussions of the Marines if they found out that I was teaching him the Rokushiki style. I'm not gonna last long in this world, so instead of teaching something else, like Hassohoken Style, which I still have the manual for, I taught him something I am more skilled in. Besides, when I'm gone he could still learn the technique if he studies the manual.
I am trying to power through my sickness just enough for him to at least learn the very basics of the Rokushiku Style. His making significant process in shigan, soru, and tekkai, but I can only hope that he learns the basics of them all. In a world like this, all I can hope is that he can survive the danger it brings upon him.
"Hey old man, here's your food", Enzo said as he handed me a plate.
"These are burned", I said with one of my eyebrows raised, "Do you expect me to eat it?".
"Fine, I'll fix it", he said as he touches the meat and freezes them, "There, ice cream barbecue".
I feel like a vein just pop in my forehead when I saw what he did, "Oh, really now?", I said as I quickly went towards him and force his mouth to open wide so that he can eat his so-called ice cream barbecue.
"agh....agh", Enzo tried to stop me but he was too weak to do anything. Is this what a father feels went he teaches his son a lesson if his child misbehaves? Another thought added to my brain, I guess.
