Greatest Swordsman In One Piece - Chapter 5 More Training And Leaving The Island

The next day Mike woke up before the sun rose. He took his two water containers and went to the stream to fetch water. Now Mike had become familiar with the outskirts of the forest. He knew that there are no strong animals in the forest but he was still carefull because there were some poisonous animals like snakes and frogs in the outskirts. He also didn’t want to kill these small animals for their meat because he didn’t have fire to cook the meat.

“In order to improve my swordsmanship and haki fast I will have to fight strong opponents. I wonder if there are any strong animals inside the forest”, he thought.

After thinking for some time he decided that he would explore the depth of the forest after his morning training. He washed himself in the stream and fill the containers. He found some new fruits on the way back and collected them.

He started training after he reach the beach. He ran along the sand till he reach the cliff and started doing his physical exercise. After he finish it, he started training his swordsmanship. Today he is trying to combine the basic strikes to make combo attacks.

It was already noon when he finished training. He decided that it was time to go into the forest. So he ate some fruits to fill his stomach and entered the forest. He also caried a long wooden stick with a pointed tip and an edge on his waist. He made it by rubbing the wooden stick on a rough stone. After walking some distance he reach the stream. He drank some water from the stream before he crossed it. After crossing the stream Mike became more careful. He walks stealthily in between trees and bushes. He marked the trees on his way so that he can find his way back.

As he was walking, his observation haki picked up a small animal the size of a cat tailing him. His body became tensed and his forehead started to sweat. He pretended like he haven’t seen it and continued walking at a slower pace. The animal was getting closer and closer to him without making any sound. He would not know that he was being followed if he didn’t have observation haki. His grip around his wooden sword tightens. When the animal reach 1metre behind him, it made its move. The animal jump up from his crouching position. Just as the animal jump up, Mike also make his moves. He turned around fast and in the process of turning around he draws his sword from his waist and did a [draw cut] strike. The momentum of turning around was also added to the strike and made it even more powerful. The sword struck directly in the neck of the animal and a ‘crack’ sound was heard. The animal flew away due to the power of the strike and hit a tree and didn’t get up. Mike slowly walks towards the animal to check if it was really death. When he got neat the animal he saw that it’s neck was already broken with bones sticking out at the side.

Mike finally relax his muscles when he confirmed that the animal was death. He continued his journey even more cautiously after this event. After a few minutes of walking he saw a strange part of the forest where a lot of fruit trees grows. He saw apples , mango, orange, and many other fruits. Mike started getting excited seeing these new fruits after eating mostly bananas for the last two days. He walks closer to the fruit trees slowly and carefully. When he was about 20 metres away from it, he sensed a fast projectile comming from his right. He took a step back and dodge the projectile and look at the direction where it came from. There he saw a brown monkey standing on the branch of a fruit tree holding stones in its hand. He walks towards the monkey as he believed that he could dodge anything thrown by the monkey. But the monkey started making weird noises instead of atacking him. While Mike was getting a very bad feeling, he heard alot of similar noises comming from inside the fruit forest.

In a few seconds many monkeys appeared in the fruit trees in front of him holding stones in their hands. There were around a hundred monkeys. He didn’t get the chance to even turn back when stone projectiles rained down on him. He had no time to think so he focused all his spirit and will in observation haki and dodged some of the stones. He deflected some of the stones with his sword by using basic sword strike combos. When he cannot dodge or deflect a stone he took the hit with the help of armament haki. The monkeys threw stones at him continuously for 5 minutes.

When the stone rain finally stoped Mike looked very miserable. His whole body was covered with brushes, there were black and blue spots on his face.

“Stupid red ass monkeys, you mess with the wrong person. I am going to beat you all up before I leave this island”, he shouted at the monkeys.

He took a last look at the fruit trees and ran away towards the beach. When he reach the stream he cleaned his wounds. He pluck two more conical leaves from the strange plant and fill them with water. When he finally reach the beach it was already dusk. His whole body was in pain so he laid down on the sand on his back.

He pushed the button of his bracelet
