Hidden Forces Revealed

It's been 2 weeks since Kuro joined the crew. Koby has been teaching Zoro, Helmeppo, and Kuro the 6 Rokushiki.

Zoro was able to get the hang of Tekkai and Rankyaku due to all his training and as a swordsman.

Helmeppo was surprisingly able to somewhat perform a bastardly version of Kami-e, I would probably attribute that to his cowardness, that has been following him his whole life.

Kuro was able to master Geppo and Soru after a week, due to already having a silent but deadly foot technique of his own. He also had a little bit of understanding in Rankyaku as he seems to be proficient in blades with his 10 blade style of fighting.

Koby just looked on as they trained on the deck of the ship, looking satisfied with their training so far and it made him ponder upon his next moves.

…

Koby planned on meeting up with the other forces that he was able to build up during the past two years of his training. These forces consist of marines, pirates, and bounty hunters, only the revolutionaries that he wasn't able to poach.

In the east blue alone, he was able to convice Smoker and Tashigi to join him.

He showed them how the world really works, the way the celestial dragons are controlling the world through the use of Marines and CP. Anything that gets in their way will either be reduced to ashes or be enslaved until they are no longer humans.

One prime example of this was the destruction of O'Hara, an island full of the smartest people in the world that got too curious about the truth of the world and they were massacred for it. A little girl was demonified in the eyes of other people and blamed for the destruction of her island with her family and friends on it.

Smoker and Tashigi aspires to bring justice to people that deserves them and Koby offered them the chance to gain the strength needed to bring the biggest criminals in the world, the celestial dragons, to justice. Koby gave them the training method for the 6 Rokushiki and two types of haki that apparently they still didn't have despite being in the marines. They decided to stay inside the Marines to be his spies.

He was also able to gain Arlong's allegiance after repeatedly beating him up and using his lightning powers to fry his brain to work again to see reason which worked wonders as it opened up his mind.

He realized that what he has been doing so far was just like a child throwing a tantrum after not getting what he wants. He tried going out to the sea and help people out with the Sun Pirates, but after his leader was killed, he decided to unleash his hatred on the weaker humans that didn't even harm him as he didn't have the power to take his own vengeance.

Koby offered him the opportunity to become stronger and get his revenge for his people and his captain. For Arlong, ever since he was little, watching the Amusement Park in Sabaody stroked his ambition to one day live in the surface like the humans. What he wanted to achieve was the equality of his Fishmen people in the surface of the sea, his hatred for humans just clouded his mind, but after finally getting some electricity in his brain, he was able to understand the actions that must be done. Overthrowing the celestial dragons will pave the way for his fish folks to have the chance to live a rewarding life in the surface without any discrimination. They would not have to be afraid to be persecuted or be taken as slaves by the celestial dragons.

After recruiting Arlong, his lieutenants, and his Fishmen crew, he ordered them to go to a deserted island to train for two years using the training methods that Koby gave them, the two types of haki and the 6 Rokushiki, until he deems them ready enough to put his plans into action.

Gin the Demon Man, Don Krieg's second in command was also recruited in his future crew early on when he killed Krieg for his bounty, he joined the Fishmen, training in the deserted island along with some of his old crew mates that decided to join him.

…

After Kuro joined the crew, he got in contact with his old crew mates in which Koby decided to send them to the deserted Island in which the Fishmen and Gin's crew are training in. They will be like a couple of sheep thrown to the wolves but they will start improving faster due to all the experienced people that's been there for two years.

Koby and his 3 crew mates are on the way to meet up with Gin and Arlong at the last island of East Blue before going to the Reverse Mountain, Loguetown.

Gin and Arlong left their subordinates in the deserted Island to keep up their training as they haven't fulfilled Koby's vision of their strength to be useful for his plan. He wants them to at least be able to master 2 of the 6 Rokushiki and 1 type of haki. He preferred them being able to use both haki but that's just a pipe dream on his part.

Gin and Arlong was chosen to be a part of their crew as they were able to have proficient use of the two types of haki and 3 of the Rokushiki. Gin had mastered Soru, Geppo, and Shigan. He was more proficient with Observation Haki than Armament. While Arlong was able to master Soru, Shigan, and Tekkai. He was stronger when it comes to Armament Haki compare to Observation Haki. They are both New World tier pirates, which means that they can at least survive there. They will also be able to help speed up the training of his new 3 very talented crew mates and strengthen their convictions as they will know more about the power that Koby grasp.
