ch: 4 two fools
Stab
George stabbed me in my stomach...
"Well we now know that you really not a logia or the knife would have fazed through. But it didn't" said gerorge as held the knife.
" you right I could feel it but i didn't feel it do you understand." I said trying my best to explain it to George.
" all right what's the plan?" Aksed George.
I tilted my head in confusion." What are you on about" I asked.
" what do you think revenge on the admirals and the world government for killing your sister and our fellow Marines." Explained George as he looked at Rok confused.
" oh that... I don't have a plan. My plan was to get stronger and destroy them." I said. I might of over looked the future but I wasn't very good at planning or figuring out what to do in the future.
" we are so going to die" said George as he slumped down on his bed.
" I think it's simpleton plan is to stay in marine ford to get stronger and for that we need someone to teach us and I know someone to help me with haki training" I said trying to encourage George.
" oh,who is this guy you talk of that can help us with haki?" asked George curiously.
" his name is Tom hawk he is said to be a haki teacher. We could ask him to teach us but i don't know where to find him" I said .
"Hmmm, i don't think it will be a problem as the marine ford isn't that big. I'm sure we will find him. But the current issue is we have to also train in tekkai and soru together." Explained George.
" we will have to do it. This is the only way to get stronger if we don't then we won't change anything. Power can change everything, power can get you what you want." I said encouraging myself and geroge.
" that's a plan then, starting tomorrow we will find this Tom Hawk guy and ask him to teach us." Said George as he turned around and went to sleep.
Now that I have George with me and has the same goal as me we can both do it together. Tomorrow will be the start of everything one's I start I can't go back.

The next day, morning.
I slept the whole day as did geroge the night before was that exhausted but I think it might of been weeks worth of exhaustion in the hospital I online slept for three hours and I'm sure George was the same. The war took alot from us but now we will change so we don't feel that pathetic again.
I met geroge outside our dorm building, we where going to find Tom hawk. We didn't know where to look first but we where going to look every where. We went our separate ways.
I asked many marine captains or lieutenantsand they all had know he was but they didn't know where he was. After a four hours of looking I found out that Tom hawk was old retired vice admiral which shocked me. I found out that he has a blue hawk riding on his shoulder and he wore black sunless with a red and blue mohawak.
I went to a popular cafe that me and George said we would meet up. As i arrived in the cafe George screamed my name out and pointed at the table he was at.
"Rok! I'm right here!, right here!" George screamed poiting at the table.
I felt embarrassed as we caught the whole attention of the people looking at us with annoyed looks.
"I'm right here you don't have to shout" I explained to him.
"Oh come on I was makimg sure you knew where I was hahaha!" said George laughing out loud.
"Anyway have you found any information about Tom Hawk" I asked ignoring the hateful stares I was getting from everbody.
" yes actually. The guy Tom hawk is a former vice admiral..." said geroge confidently.
" wait is that all, you can't be serious I know from the first minute I asked someone. Sigh we won't find him anytime soon." I said frustrated.
"Are you guys talking about Tom Hawks the marines legendary teacher" said the guy right next to us.
" and who might you be, Tom hawks fan or expert" I asked mockingly
.
.
" yes" said the man with brown eyes and gray hair. He wore his marine uniform suggesting he is same rank as us or lower.
" okay Tom hawk expert, tell us where we can find him" I asked him still not believing him.
" Wait do you guys serious don't know. Wow you guys are truly fodders. Well let this expert enlighten you today is the day the legendary teacher Tom Hawks chooses his ten students. We call it the 'ten chosen ones day'." Explained the expert with confidence.
My eyes twitch in irrataion. Is this guy seriously thinking I would beleve him, what kind stupid day is that. I looked towards George and he loked like he was about to jump out his seat in excitement. He's useless right now.
" that's ridiculous why would we have a day like that?" I asked irrated that I was listening to thus buffoons words.
" I'm serious! Every marine i know is trying out for it to be selected as one of the participants. Listen let me explain. Tom Hawks isn't just any teacher but a teacher who taught legendary figures like Garp the marine hero, the fleet admiral Sengoku, the former fleet admiral Kong and Tsuru. He taught them that's why every one Is trying to be taught by him.
Every five years he chooses ten talented marines to teach and this is the twentyth year that he will choose his students. It was said that this might be the last students he ever teaches." The man explained without taking a breath.
If this is true he must be truly be great teacher I'd he taught those legendary marines. We have to be one the ten students this opptunity won't come again.
" heh do you think thay you can there will be ten thousand participants this year from every branch as this is the last time Tom Hawks will pick his students. So stop dreaming there will be the greatest talents that marines has participating you won't make. Even if you pass the first round there are still two more rounds and that dosent include the last round where you will be tested by Tom Hawks himself and it was said that this will be the hardest this year." Said the man mocking me and George.
For some reason ge irrates me like no one else. But if what he said is true that all the most talented marines will participate this will be very hard no maybe impossible. But I have to get stronger no matter what.
" can you tell me what the first round is and I will pay for food and drink" I said trying to coaxed him.
The man was in deep thought and finally he said" Fine, the first round will try to eliminate eight percent of participants it will be to find a miniature golden egg." Said the man.
" wait are you serious its that easy!" I shouted out loud. Every person looked at me annoyed and angry. I apologised and asked" why is it so easy?"
" you think it's easy ther are only one thousand and five hundred scattered around marine ford you will see when your participating how quick people will find them and leave you with nothing. The game tests if you have the luck to be the best" said the man as he drank his drink.
It sounds easy but the idea if it is great to eliminate as many as possible and only choose the ones that are fated or have the luck to participate in the next round.
" sir tell us where the first round stars and when?" I asked inpatiently.
" it will be in the middle square there you will sign up but I will suggest that you quickly go the round starts in three hours and the spots are filling up quickly" said the man while eating hus food nochantly.
"Thank you sir, here's the money for your food. Come one geroge we don't have time" I said as I handed the berries to the man and ran off with George.
" Sigh what a bunch of hopeful bastards. I wish I was like them, oh look it here he gave me five thousand berries thats enough food for a week" the man giggled happily.
.
.
.
After a couple of minutes me and George arrive at the middle square where thousands of marines where. They all where patiently waiting for the first round to start. I was very shocked that there where this many marines gathered here to become one of Tom Hawks students.
I moved through the busy crowd with George arriving in a line for the sign up booth. There was a number displayed at the top showing how many slots are currently available.
98
That was how many spots where left but what worried me.was the long and if we has a chance to get a spot.
" do you think we will make it?" asked George concerned.
" don't know let's just wait" I said nervously.
After a hour there where only four of us left in line. As I looked towards the slots left it had me worried.
3
I was the last in line do I knew George will make it but I don't I will if by some miracle something happens to one of the participants to give up there spot then I would have a chance. I cursed every marine here so something can happen to them.
As gerorge got his number badge the marine told me" sorry buddy there are no more spots left. Bad luck"
" that can't be right! Can do something just this once for my friend?" asked geroge.
" what do you think this is?! huh! This isn't negotiable you got goofes" said the marine angrily.
Ii head went down in disappointment. Maybe I'm not like thise guys from comics that get really lucky. I watched as george was arguing with the marine.
Sigh
" it's okay geroge, it's just bad luck. I guess I will go back to my dorm and loath in my misery" I said to make the marine feel bad and coax him to allow me to participate.
But he didn't buy it. As I walked away I saw a marine women with sharp glasses run pass me to the marine behind the booth. They bothe talked for a minute and the marine looked frustrating he than looked at me and signaled me to come over.
"Is there promblem sir?" I said politely so I don't gey on his bad side.
" I don't how you are so lucky but you boy have used all your life's luck. Here take this" he said and handed me a badge.
I looked at he confused and shocked. Did he actually feel bad for me. With a confused face the marine explained" one of the participants ate a raw fish making pass out and hospitalised. You are very lucky use it wisely"
"Hey what about us, why does he get the badge and we dont!" the man behind screamed in unferness.
" shut your mouth! It's because your a damn fodder!" The marine behind the booth screamed in anger.
I looked at the number badge and I didn't know if it meant something ominous. My badge number was literally the devils number.
666
No wonder that marine had bad luck. I walked towards geroge and showed him it and he randomly gave me a hug I pushed him off of me but this bastarad had more brute strength than me.
We awaited for another hour a day thirty minutes before a man came on the stage. He wore black dark glasses, a gray vest with black pants, and a top hat. He had a cigar in his mouth.
SILENCE!!
everyone went quite and still.
" good now that I've got your attention I will now say that all of you will now start the first round. This small golden egg in my hand is what you are looking for and if try to paint a egg golden or try to cheat we will know. Don't think you are the first one to do this. Now let me lay out the rules first Don't kill each other second... there is no other rules if you dont kill eachother you can fo whatever you want. Now Go!" Said the man.
Every dashed as quickly as possible to go find the eggs. Me and Geroge also ran towards a random direction pushing and shoving the other participants.
.
.
.
Five minutes later
"bro we are doomed" said George felling beaten.
" do.t say that we will find one" I said trying to give hope to my poor hopeless friend.
" we need two, Oh God we can't even find one how are we going to find two golden eggs!" Screamed George in frenzy.
I had to agree with him it's already been five minutes and there was no sign of the eggs. It vert easy competition but because the massive city we don't know where to start searching. I complentated for a minute before George popped up infront of my face scaring me.
"Ahhhh! God damn it George I was indeed thought. Don't scare me like that" I said annoyed.
"I had a great idea why don't you use your observation haki to pin point a golden egg" said George smartly.
That's a great idea why didn't I think of it first. I closed my eyes and steady my breath. I than tried to feel the Presence of my whole surroundings. I felt the presence of the buildings and than I expanded my range.
"There in a small crack in the wall" I said to George.
I walked towards the building which was a run down store room. But there was a small crack in the wall. I put my bulky hands inside the wall and inside was a small golden egg.
Mine and George's eyes sparkled in excitement.
" your a genius Rok, I knew you could do it" said gerorge happily.
Clank
We heard something fall behind us, as we turned around a man with spiky hair and very long spiky fingers and toes was approaching us. He had a red bandana on and the casual marine outfit with ripped off sleeves.
"Hehehe. I knew that follow you guys was the right choice who would have thought that my luck was this great. Now hand of the egg before I cripple you" said the man evily.
He looked and sounded like a third rate villan. And how dumb does he think we are there is no way we would give it up.
" how about a nope from me want about you geroge?" I asked geroge.
" don't feel like it neither" said geroge tensing and focusing himself for battle.
" oh we go a pair of fools and comedians here. Boys come out" said the evil marine.
Six people jumped down from the rooftop and surrounded us and blocking our exit. I place the egg in my pocket and prepared for fight.
" you take that side and I will take this side" I said to gerorge.he than nodded his head in agreement.
The marines didn't waste any time. One of them went for my legs and the other for my face. I quickly utilised my devil fruit and extended my leg into a with slime to kick the guy coming towards my legs.
The guy flew backwards hit his head on the floor. As quick as fire I used my slime and observation haki to make his punch slip past my face.
As I doged his punched I used the slim in my right arm slither around his neck choking him out. As i finshed that one guy a massive morning star was towards my head.
Luckily my observation haki detected the attack and I was able to transform body into a slime to narrowly doge it. I moved my self back wards to give me some space. I watched as a massive man with massive muscles was headed towards me.
That attack was meant to kill me. I'm guessing that they want that man to win and are willing to sacrifice there spot to kill me. I pointed my finger in a gun way at the man running towards me. I concentrated at the tip of my finger a bullet like shape and shot it out with great speed.
Bang bang bang
Multiple slime bullets landed at the man knocking him backwards but that wasn't enough to stop him. I constrated all my energy at dingle poing to generate all the power and release a massive bullet.
Bang
A watermelon size slime bullet shot out of my finger and hot the man in the chest knocking the air out of him. I quickly turned towards where Geroge was and he just choked out one the last men.
Me and Geroge looked towards the man who looked frustrated and annoye.
" what useless trash can't even take down a bunch of losers. I have to do everything myself." Said the evil marine.
As quick as a bullet he laughed himself at me and pierced his sharp fingers in my stomach knocking me backwards.
Ahhh
I flew back hit the wall. I checked my abdominal which was pierced with five holes. I should of know I wasn't invisible. The slime defensive only works if I'm quick enough to react.
I looked at George who was struggling to keep up with the man. I quickly stood up and dashed towards the man. As I neared him I rember that slime can be bouncy. I constrated the slime beneath my feet and created a bounce slime laughing me at the man with inhuman speed.
I quickly generated a slime left arm and aim it at the man's face.
Splash
The slime left arm should of punched him but instead it went inside of his head. Looked towards geroge who looked shocked and confused. I should have learnt how to hardern the slime as it is a soft and jelly like substance.
Guarghhhh
I watched as the man was suffocating in my slime. I was confused but it made sense how could he breath in my slime substance there's no oxygen in there. The man soon collapsed on the ground.
" was that intenial" asked geroge.
I didn't want to look like a fool so I just nodded.
To be contined
