Chapter-8

—————-

Shakky hearing Hancock reply, moved towards a cabinet and began to search for something, after a few moments she took out an old thick book

She put that book in front of Hancock’s table and then open while she spoke “Can you identify the fruit they feed in this book and show it to me”

To this, Hancock nodded her head and started to turn the pages as she began to search for the fruit she has eaten while her sisters also came as they looked at the book with curiosity in their eyes

Meanwhile, Yoriichi finished his milk, as Rayleigh put his hand on yoriichi head and spoke “Kid come with me, let’s do some stretching”

Hearing this, yoriichi put the empty glass down and followed Rayleigh outside as he grabbed the sword

…..

“It’s better to start as early as possible” Rayleigh said as he brought Yoriichi into the forest where other wild creatures were roaming but yoriichi still without any trace of fear kept following her

‘After all, it’s only a matter of time before the world government come after him’ he said this is in his mind since the World Government won’t let him live after harming Celestial Dragon otherwise it will only ruin their reputation

“Kid, attack me with that sword as you like,” Rayleigh said as he stood in front of him while looking at yoriichi with a smile on his face

But even after a few minutes, yoriichi didn’t attack him at all like he said but rather just stared at him without moving

“What’s wrong? Kid, why aren’t you coming?” Rayleigh asked this as he saw yoriichi was not doing the thing he told him to do

he couldn’t help but feel weird about this because during this all time even though he knew yoriichi was a very quiet kid but still he followed everything he told him to do and that’s is weird

“I don’t want to hurt others” Yoriichi replied to his question in a soft tone making Rayleigh extremely stunned

‘This kid is really kind’ Rayleigh thought this in mind because the Hancock sisters told him and shakky about all the things that happened in Mariejois and how they were attacked by the sea monster

Rayleigh released a depressing sigh because he couldn’t help but pity this boy who born in such a cruel world

“Hahahahaha, kid don’t worry even if I don’t have the energy as nowadays youngsters but still I am still very strong, so no need to worry about this old man” Rayleigh said while laughing off in order to not let yoriichi worried

Unfortunately, it was a fruitless effort because yoriichi still has no intention of harming him and it’s not only about Rayleigh but yoriichi doesn’t wanna attack anyone else if possible

*sigh*

Rayleigh released a tired sigh after realising his words had no effect on yoriichi, he really wanted to see yoriichi strength with his own eyes in order to train him correctly especially when yoriichi killed a sea monster on his own with ease

‘I got no choice’ Rayleigh inwardly said this in his mind as he finally decided to take matters into his own hands while he took his sword out with the sheath that was previously on his waist

“Then I gonna attack you, kid,” Rayleigh said as he took a step forward and swung his sword towards yoriichi at high speed

Yoriichi sensing incoming danger, quickly side steps he dodges it without any problem,

but Rayleigh didn’t stop and attack him again with speed

Yoriichi quickly took his sword from its sheath because he realised if he tried to fight him or defend himself with the sheath then he would definitely lose due to his weak strength

He quickly deflected Rayleigh’s sword with his blade without any difficulty and Dodge the attacks which his body could dodge and yoriichi did all this instinctively like his body moving its own

‘what a monsterious kid!’ Rayleigh didn’t help but say this out loud in his mind as he saw yoriichi quickness and the way he was trying to defend

Rayleigh comes to realise that Yoriichi is taking full advantage of his small body to dodge his big strong attacks while yoriichi uses his blade to deflect the quick weak attacks that he can’t avoid

yoriichi is also making very unpredictable movements with his small body to dodge Rayleigh’s attacks as well as confusing him

The weirdest thing Rayleigh found is yoriichi calmness, even though yoriichi can be hurt at any moment but still, he still has calmness on his face like he knows what he is doing

Not only that but his unnatural strength and stamina make Rayleigh question whether Yoriichi is human or not because they have now doing this for a while and even then yoriichi is not showing any signs of exhaustion

“That’s enough for now, kid,” Rayleigh said as he finally decided to stop since he couldn’t see any point in continuing not to mention the purpose of this sparring was now Fulfilled

“Kid, you remembered haki I talked about before?” Rayleigh said this and decided to go on advanced stuff since Yoriichi is already very excellent at fighting without anyone’s guidance

To this, yoriichi nodded his head as he finally relaxed and put his sword back in the sheath while walking towards Rayleigh

As Rayleigh started to speak he explained “Haki is a mysterious power that allows the user to utilize their own spiritual energy for various purposes. All living beings in the world are capable of learning Haki; however, most people do not notice it or they just fail to awaken it”

“There are three types of haki’s in this world: The first and the most useful one in survival is called observation haki” Rayleigh pauses as a huge creature comes behind him

This creature is similar to King Kong and right now he looks angry, as he soon sees someone in front of him, and he throws his fist directly towards Rayleigh from behind
