Chapter 9

Wolf wakes up excited due to the fact for a year, he will be receiving training from the right hand of the pirate king. Mind you the Rayleigh was able to match Marco the phoenix with a single haki armament covered finger and also matched Kizaru in terms of speed and power. The good thing is that he is a tremendously skilled and powerful swordsman. He can combine Busoshoku Haki with his swordsmanship, allowing him to fight equivalently with Kizaru, who himself is a highly skilled swordsman wielding his Ama no Murakumo. He also managed to cut and draw blood from Kizaru's face, who is a Logia user. He is a goldmine in terms of knowledge and can match Garp "Hero of the Marines" in strength. This makes Wolf somehow comprehend how strong the Pirate King truly was and how did Garp corner him every time. Wolf does his routine and hurries to the cafeteria to get breakfast. The good thing is that he does not have to do anything like sign papers or monitor the marine recruits because Wolf is not experienced enough as Rear-Admiral Catacombo states. The only thing that is concerning is the slave trading rings are starting up again tomorrow meaning most likely nobles, rich people and pirates are going to be coming. The auctions for devil fruit and slaves are happening in the broad daylight because they think a 17 year old child can't defeat pirates from the grandline. They think that he became a Vice-Admiral through He was thinking of spending most of his time there training so he could grasp haki and swordsmanship better. In 1 and 8 months, Luffy will set sail along with his nakama.

Wolf had a time limit to become a marine admiral so he could roam anywhere without anyone trying to control him. While marine admirals are somewhat controlled by the world government, they are given free rights and by getting that rank at a young age shows I have not gone to my peak meaning I can get much stronger. Kicking me out would mean another candidate for Yonko or I might join the revolutionaries. After all, Kizaru, Akainu and Aokiji are getting quite old along with the next admiral after the 2 year timeskip Fujitora. Doing this would allow me to get stronger and wander around to learn more skills and improve while I would have to eventually guard celestial dragons, the other 3 admirals could do it as well. They have the experience of doing it making them more viable candidates than me. Anyway no dilly-dallying, I need to arrive at the place where we can train without getting interrupted. He is going to help me break the limits on my haki training, getting me strong enough to fight an admiral for at least half an hour. Wolf arrives at a Grove 80(A.N:made up. Needed place for training.), it was a big spacious area where no one went there. It was well-hidden by an illusion of an old crewmate of the Roger Pirates for training and relaxation. It was not big enough to do my huge moves since the mangroves here are weird and can't replicate it. Wolf sees Rayleigh holding a bandana with a sword.

"You are a little bit late Wolf." Rayleigh exclaims in a friendly tone. Wolf apologizes for being late.

"Sorry, i was lost in my thoughts. I have a question? How are you going to help me improve my haki if you don't mind." Wolf asks in a curious tone while scratching the back of his head.

" We are going to first see what level of haki you can perform. For Observational Haki, you are going to put this bandana around your eyes then dodge my kicks as I increase the speed. For Armament Haki, you are going to match me punch by punch to see what level you are at. Conqueror's Haki is one haki that you have good control over, so for that you will have to use it continuously on pirates. Any questions?" Rayleigh asks in a serious but friendly tone. Looks like he is in his teacher mode.

" Nope so when do we start." Wolf tried to keep his emotions in check but you could hear excitement in his voice.

" Geez you youngsters have so much stamina and are always so impatient."Rayleigh says this with a expersated tone but you could see a small smile on his face.

3rd Person POV

Both of them are standing across from each other and one could see an amused smile on the face of the whitehaired old man at the excited grin from the black haired kid. No one makes a move but the kid is getting impatient. He covers his sword with armament haki making it cover his entire swords and arms until the elbows. He regulates his breathing and yells out" Gaia's Cannon'' as he slashes in the air creating a tornado of boulders and earth making an impressive sight of power. Rayleigh raised an eyebrow at this technique which could definitely wipe out 30 to 70 million berry pirates maybe even 100 but against him, it was child's play Rayleigh covers his sword in armament and slashes towards the incoming earth storm. A cyan colored sword slash races toward the earth tornado destroying it and continues on its path. Wolf is astonished at his attack being destroyed so quickly and easily but shouts" Wood Locking Wall." The slash and wall clash together as the slash dissipates. Wolf creates a few wood clones and merges with the trees near him. After creating several wood clones which surround the enemy and attack them simultaneously forcing them to jump into the air, another wood clone attacks him from above. This hits Rayleigh, making fall to the ground but stands off like he took absolutely no damage due to covering his body with armament haki.

"That was a good sword technique combined with your devil fruit, what is it called." Rayleigh says with a smile.

"It was called Reverse Mist Beheading." Wolf says this with a deep breath and as he gulps in his air. He found out multiple problems, his stamina and strength needed to be stronger. He knew he was going to lose this but wanted to go out with a bang.

" Let's see if you beat this old man. Secret Technique: Nativity of Sea of Trees." Wolf shouts as an area into a vast forest in a matter of mere moments complete with trees and even grass growing out of any terrain he is on. This technique is a weaker version of the Hashirama built by Konohagakure of. Wolf manipulates the trees to grab or stab him with wood made swords/spears that pierce through steel even. Rayleigh whistles in amazement at the strength of the kid even though it consumes almost all of the kid's stamina. Suddenly the wood spears/sword stop as they reach Rayleigh making him raise an eyebrow at this. He looks over and sweat drops at the snoring kid on the floor in the middle of the battle. Rayleigh sighs and picks him up to drop at the Marines Base.
