Ravi looked at the entirely destroyed and deformed field, amazed at the destruction as he approached his 'father'.
As soon as he reached the place where his 'father' hit the ground with his foot he saw the rubble and the mammoth trembling in fear, looking all over the place while the rest of the shocked wolves not daring to approach.
Ravi barked at his 'father' as he jumped up wanting to do that too.
"Shishishi! Calm down Ravi, even if you won't be able to reach that level of destruction, for sure you'll get pretty strong" I said assuring him of the result.
"*Arf! Arf*" Ravi was increasingly determined to stay strong and be able to keep up with his 'father' who seems to get stronger every day.
"Well…" I looked at the mammoth who was even more scared thinking I'll change my mind and eat him in the next second.
"Calm down, calm down, I won't eat you, promise is promise. I'll just fix your knee so you can move normally for now" I said as I approached the knee I punched.
I massaged around that area while slowly getting her bone back in place.
"You can try moving now!" I smiled and pulled away and saw if he was better.
The Mammoth stood up, seeing no more difficulty in standing upright he looked at the human in front of him who had done all of this.
Seeing that he was looking in my direction, I said: "Go ahead, you're free to do whatever you want!"
*Snoring
My stomach growled 'It was taking too long'
Ravi was laughing in my face with all the wolves around and the mammoth looking at me.
"You little brat I'll teach you not to make fun of me" I started to chase him as he ran and kept making fun of me by the tone of his barks and laughter.
"I'LL GET YOU YOUR PLAGUE!" I yelled as I increased my steps and my stomach growled as I ran after him.
Soon everyone started laughing at this scene, even the mammoth, soon I gave up my hunger made me weaker but it was also noon and I hadn't even had breakfast.
"Now you will hunt a prey with the knowledge that you have, however small it may be, proving your conquest, the bigger the more stomachs you fill, but remember to face possible opponents to be defeated." I told them right away my stomach said I needed food again.
The mammoth pulled me over and placed it on top of him.
'I looked' at him and asked, "Why did you put me here? Will you take me where there's food?"
"*fuumm uuuuh" (I copied it from google if you have a better suggestion you can say I'm all ears, and they tell me a site where they have all the onomatopoeias I need?)
I didn't quite understand but I could understand his intention. In doubt about what he had said I asked "Do you want to go with me? Is that what you mean? Are you sure?"
He nodded in acknowledgment as he walked in a certain direction.
"Well if you're going to stay with me you need a name! Hmmm...." I placed a hand on my chin as I thought of a suitable name.
Looking at its darker coloration than usual and also because it is practically a walking tank I chose:
"Iron!" Mammoth looked in my direction and yelled in agreement (Google told me this was right, dog barks, cat meows etc).
I chose this name which was one of the Sung Ji-woo's ground leveling shadows thus linking his color and the fact that he is a walking tank.
"Great take me where there's fruit or possible stoners, Iron." I smiled as I pointed forward.
He continued on the same path as he quickened his steps a little.
"Follow my scent when you get prey, if you don't come back before midnight you'll be without food!" I yelled at them and they quickly ran into the forest in search of their first prey.
(I thought about doing Riva's pov but nothing much will happen so I decided against it)
After a while we finally got to where Iron wanted to show me, and there were several trees full of fruit and a lake.
The sunlight made everything prettier I would say it would be a great sanctuary if I could see I would probably think so but like my haki a little bit of colors and shapes he can't see this view. lie to you)
"How nice! How many fruits!" While 'looking' at the amount of fruit I had in my range haki of observation.
I started to eat the fruits to satiate the stomach and the iron also ate some fruits, as soon as I felt that was enough to keep me going and hunting for meat I decided to stop.
"So you know where there are any predators?" I asked Iron.
He thought for a moment as he pointed in a certain direction, proving that each animal has its territory.
"I see… do you want to go with me or stay here?" I asked as I stretched out for a possible serious battle that would be really cool.
Iron thought for a moment and decided to accompany me.
He was curious to see the fight considering his age (10 years old) and the fight we had it's no surprise he's curious.
"Yosh!" I jumped on top of him and yelled "Full steam ahead!" I always wanted to say that, too bad I never got on a train for that.
"*fuumm!" He yelled as he started to run in that direction.
As he ran I started to think about the next training sessions besides fruit and haki.
'Is it possible to learn Rokushiki? If I have the one piece physique it should be possible to learn but what about Gyojin Karate (merman karate)? Would it be possible for me to learn even though I'm not a merman? So many questions with thousands of answers but I will only know for sure when I test them. As some philosopher or scientist said, the maximum chances will always be 99%, it will only be 100% after what happened, it goes for a doctor and scientist, no one says that surgery will save a person's life for sure at risks that a doctor cannot control energy can fall, anything can go wrong..." As I rambled on that nothing is 100% right, I felt a life form in my Kenbushoku.
Iron slowed his steps, but they were still heavy so much better to make an epic entrance scene but it had to be heavier... in the future maybe...
While rambling with his inner otaku Iron stood in front of my opponent.
The Ox looked in the direction he saw heavy steps and prepared for the fight, as soon as he saw his opponent he was stunned, because it was a 10 year old mammoth (I don't know exactly at what age a mammoth is considered a teenager or a child, so I'll just tell his age) with a blindfolded child on top of him, what stunned him wasn't the mammoth itself, it was that he let a child ride him.
'Shame on a mammoth like him if he lets himself be a simple mount, I'll put an end to this dishonor!' He thought as he prepared to attack but instead of his 'opponent taking a stand he... knelt down. (First time doing a direct thought of something that will soon turn to flesh)
Stunned by her action he stopped his advance preparation.
"Ah?! Are we there Iron? Sorry, forgot I was rambling with my thoughts!" I scratched the back of my neck and smiled apologetically.
I jumped up and looked towards my opponent "So are you going to be my opponent? I hope you are prepared for a fight to the death" I said seriously but in his head it was totally contradictory with his exterior...
'FINALLY!! I didn't refer to my opponent as meat, that's a step towards evolution' I thought satisfied.
The Ox felt threatened and broke out in a cold sweat, he prepared himself for a fight to the death, this could be his last fight so he has to fight with everything.
He lowered his horns as he ran towards me and Iron walked away looking at the fight wanting to see its development.
'Its horns give it a High attack, above average speed according to its size, its body defense also above average by the number of muscles I was able to analyze, its resistance also cannot be considered low considering it is a bull so the only disadvantage it's your intelligence in that case...' I thought very quickly as the ox was coming at me with the intention of piercing me.
I quickly jumped up and aimed the attack at the bull's horns.
"Gomu Gomu no Twin Pistol" I threw my 2 arms at the horns.
As soon as the attack hit, pushing the bull's head to the ground causing it to eat dirt and crash into a tree.
'Hard horns hmm...' I got into a fighting stance.
The Ox got up furious because that kid made him eat dirt, but he didn't lose his rationality by blindly attacking his opponent instead he watched the child.
"So you want me to attack now? How nice of you in that case..." I ran forward stretching both arms behind me.
Seeing that the child was running to hit him from the front with what seems to be the same attack, being more than half way he ran forward with his horns with the speed of the human and he preparing an attack the only way to dodge is jumping but the Ox was ready.
Seeing that he came at me again I had a smile on my face 'He fell into my trap! Too bad I don't have the hardening phase of busoshoku otherwise I could hit those horns head-on without puncturing my entire hand in the process.' As soon as he was right next to me, I slipped down.
'Looking' directly into the face of the ox above me I gave a triumphant smile as I said:
"Checkmate"
The ox felt danger but could do nothing to deflect what was to come if he was already on the move.
I aimed right where the heart is while pulling my arms with the ox still moving.
'Gomu Gomu No Bazooka' I thought as I landed the attack right where I wanted it.
He rose into the air as he was thrown backwards into the trees, current state unknown.
"Phew, I thought about breaking your horns first but it would take longer than necessary then I thought about what could be the most fragile area, consequently the least attacked and obviously the stomach, the moment you ran towards me you sealed it your destiny" While striking a pose.
I always wanted to do this, it would be better if everything was planned from the beginning but even then I will have more chances in the future to say this phrase, but it can't be used much if it doesn't spoil this phrase.
Iron was amazed that it was over so quickly! (I bet most viewers do too hehehe)
Since against him it had taken longer, but he remembered that he was teaching the wolf pack to fight. He gave glory to God for not turning to dinner immediately as soon as his new master found him.
While Iron was thanking the gods for this new chance at life, Luffy was thinking that he really was getting really strong with each passing day, whether it's the elasticity of the fruit or his physical strength and haki, are exponentially improving.
'The second wish is actually quite useful... I'll be able to prepare everything before the plot.'
I turned to Iron who was standing with his trunk up, looking like he was praying for some reason.
"Hey!!" I waved at him as I yelled for his attention.
"Help me carry this back to my temporary base I don't think I'm the only one who can carry it to her before dark." I said while looking for enough vines to tie around the ox and tie to Iron's horns.
"And ready!" It was well tied and firm, it won't tear due to the amount of vines, thus distributing the weight.
"*Smoke uh!" Iron said as a vein appeared on his forehead.
I looked at him wondering what he could be trying to say...
"Ah! Are you asking why you have all the vines and I have none?" He nodded his head as he glared at me.
Looking at his gaze on me I decided to play with his face.
"Simple! I just got everyone the meat and I got really tired so you'll carry it all the~ way." I said as I pretended to be tired with a smile on my face.
One more vein appeared on top of his head, he lifted his trunk and crushed it on my head.
*Bam!
"Oh! I was kidding, kidding. I was going to tie my arms around the ox much better than holding the vines in my hands or teeth, wouldn't I?" I said making fun of him having to tie the vine to his 'Teeth'.
*Bam!!
"WHAT A PAIN!!" I screamed while faking a tear.
"You don't have any sense for a joke do you?" I could see with my haki that his head was boiling and smoke was coming out of his ears.
"I stopped joking, wow what a sense of joke... heavy."
*BAM!
"I GET IT! I'll get to work instead of making fun of it." I tied my arm around the ox and we started pulling vertically after all I didn't want to bump into a tree and have to turn around.
Iron looked at Luffy and a smile appeared on his face, it looks like his days would get better, he just didn't know how much.
.
.

After arriving at the base I started to gut the ox (do you prefer to dismantle or gut it? Comment)
I remembered that mammoths are based on roots, leaves, vegetables and fruits in their diet.
"Iron you, you can take some fruits that you have around or leaves, since you don't eat meat" I said and Iron started to eat leaves but not many he didn't look hungry.
"Okay, let's prepare food for me and the boys, when they see them they must be hungry as they won't hunt anything big enough to feed them and even if they hunt they won't eat because it will be their first hunt..." I muttered to myself same.
"Oh I'm not sure what they will do with their prey, let's prepare the food" I removed the piece of meat from the ox and prepared the fire to put the meat on the fire.
"Okay, now just wait for it to be ready..." I said and thought about what I would do while waiting for the meat.
I leaned against the Iron that was lying next to me. 'Maybe I should focus 100% on my kenbushoku? and further increase my reach? It will be good to train.' I sat cross-legged and put both my arms on my legs, putting my hands on them at the end. (The way shikamaru sits when he's trying to think better) I focused all my haki on my limit. Soon after, I focused on every detail about my domain as I tried to keep expanding my haki to the fullest.
I tried to detail every item about my haki be it fruit, animal, minerals, trees.
'I can't classify everything as oxygen around me or caborno but I think I will in the future.' I thought as I started to sweat a little, wanting to increase the range more and classifying more items and animals within my kenbushoku.
I did this for 1 hour (It was already 22:00) Soon I felt the wolves coming my way and decided to stop training and check the meat that was on fire while I waited for Ravi and the others to show up.
Just after 10 minutes, I took the meat to shove it in my mouth until Ravi appeared with the others with a hare in his mouth that was twice as big as normal, everyone was full of dirt and some with minor injuries.
"Why did you take so long? Come on! Otherwise I'll eat everything without you." I said smiling at them. They approached and placed the hare in front of me and they had their heads down.
"*Bite* Hm? Why are you guys so low? Because I'm such a small prey?" I asked and they felt a prick because their prey doesn't even compare with my daily life.
"Let me guess~(Said while biting the meat) You guys tried to catch a bigger prey but it ended up running out of your reach and you couldn't reach it could you?" I asked and they felt like their pride was damaged as they were in a much larger number and only managed to catch the hare thanks to planning from Ravi.
*Sigh
"Look I knew you guys wouldn't bring a big prey back, if you hadn't even managed to catch a hare it would have been the same thing. Tell me how it felt to hunt? Not fun or cool right? For two reasons one you don't are strong enough for such a feat and second it's no fun when you put your own life on the line From the moment you have fangs and claws and point them at your prey you have to be prepared to risk your own lives in return from that, remember life is not a game, it's something so important that numbers don't pay the value of a life." I seriously fell for them.
The wolves paid close attention to what I said well... the most focused of them all is Ravi looked like he wanted to put all his senses into what I was talking about, including smell and touch, finding it quite funny.
*Slap
I clapped my hands "So? Let's eat?!" I said with a smile as I invited them to eat and prepared the meat they brought.
Everyone finished eating the main course and as soon as I finished roasting the hare meat I divided it into... 67 even though it was difficult, it had to be the same and give it to everyone.
The wolves swallowed the piece of meat, finding it the most delicious thing they had ever tasted.
"It tastes good right?" I asked with a smile.
Everyone nodded towards me with stars in their eyes.
"It's because you've hunted for yourselves with your own efforts and sweat, so when you experience something as a result of your hard work it's usually much better than it normally would be."
"Right! Now go to sleep I don't want anyone here getting left behind in the race tomorrow" I said while leaning against the Iron.
Everyone shivered at the memory of earlier today and went inside the cave wanting to rest as much as possible.
Ravi came towards me and lay on my lap.
"You really like being around me, don't you?" I asked and started caressing him slowly.
"*Arf" He barked and licked me weakly, slowly he fell asleep.
'He must have missed me probably thinking of something bad'
"Good night Iron" I said to which Iron bellowed softly and curled around us.
And then I slept, that day had unexpected things, adventure, a new friend.
His last thought before bed was:
'I would like to see Gravity Falls with my own eyes...'
A pity that this will not happen, he will only be able to see it with his own eyes when Dipper and Mabel arrive in Gravity Falls thus completing a transformation and marking the beginning of the storyline.
____________________________________
I finished the chapter after a lot of setbacks, in addition to waking up late my mother was at the PC until 7 pm, and after writing for 3 hours (which was about 2.3 k words) My father called me to my grandma and there was no wi-fi because I had a problem, I wrote with mobile data but it wasn't enough to write everything and I thought about leaving it for tomorrow but I FULFILL MY PROMISES and here I am dead sleepy and I blacked out without want the last 7 paragraphs which were very good in my opinion ;-;. Now I don't know if the end of this chapter was very good but I hope you forgive me for being STUPID and accidentally deleting the last few paragraphs. I hope you like the chapter I'll try to make up for it and release one tomorrow too, but I can't promise anything can be another unlucky day like today. Thanks for reading *bows
