Traversing the Anime Multiverse with a System - Chapter 86

[Hey Dragon, what will we be doing today?]: ???

A boy with blonde hair asked a man with tattoos that covered from the left side of his face going down his left arm, when the man named Dragon looked at the blonde boy he gave him a slight smile and spoke.

[Today is your 17th birthday Sabo, you should be wanting to spend it taking the day off]: dragon

The boy known as Sabo gave Dragon a look of contemplation before he spoke up refuting Dragons words.

[But something deep inside of me tells me that I need to train even harder… I have had this feeling ever since I woke up in my room 3 years ago]: sabo

For 3 years Sabo has trained diligently with Dragon and everyone else in the Revolutionary Army, and it was now his 3rd year anniversary of when he was saved and made a member of the Revolutionary Army.

[Sabo… You can’t always spend your life training, if you did that you might end up dying from overworking one day]: dragon

Dragon tried to make Sabo take the day off and enjoy his 17th birthday but there was nothing that Dragon could say to change Sabo’s mind.

[No… I have this feeling that I need to beat someone… I just can’t remember who…]: sabo

[Sabo… Just go practice with a sword or something]: dragon

Dragon couldn’t help but feel bad for Sabo, he knew that his son Luffy was one of his sworn brothers and watched as Sabo was shot, all he could do was try and save Sabo. But what Dragon didn’t expect was for Sabo to lose his memory, Sabo was shot in the gut and thrown into the ocean, so Dragon’s only answer was that Sabo hit his head on a reef or something. Dragon then took Sabo and raised him to work in the Revolutionary Army, he never told Sabo about Luffy and Ace for the sole reason of letting him get his memories back on his own.

[Don’t worry Dragon I will train my hardest today as well… But who can I spar with? I beat everyone here and can get no more out of them]: sabo

Sabo’s words broke Dragon out of his thought process and made him speechless, Sabo had already beaten every member of the Revolutionary Army except him himself. Dragon then came up with an idea and spoke.

[How about we spar, and if you can beat me I will let you be the leader of the Revolutionary Army]: dragon

Sabo’s eyes sparkled when he heard Dragon’s words and he lunged at the opportunity and said eagerly.

[Now don’t complain when I beat you too, I haven’t stopped training for 3 years since the last time we spared]: sabo

When Sabo first woke up he was met with Dragon and didn’t know where he was, so the only thing that Sabo thought was to fight with the person before him. Sabo lost miserably, and from that day forth Sabo would challenge Dragon every week only to be declined with the only words said “Go train harder before you challenge me again” and now 3 years later Dragon issued the challenge, so Sabo was excited at this moment.

[Watch what you wish for Sabo, or you might be disappointed]: dragon

Sabo readied himself as Dragon took out a sword of his own, they then faced each other, and as they eyed each other to find any weak points Sabo was the first to strike.

[Bad move Sabo, now you are open]: dragon

Dragon had deliberately left an opening to draw in Sabo, and as he saw that his trap worked he corrected himself to strike but what Dragon didn’t expect was that Sabo knew his plan and at the last second Sabo took his weight trained body and used all his force to jump straight over Dragon and his attack only to appear behind him.

[This is your opening Dragon! Now I will be the leader]: sabo

As Sabo was gloating about his position in their fight Dragon quickly fixed his position and ruined Sabo’s plan, Dragon was now facing Sabo again.

[You talk too much Sabo… If this were a real fight and you did that you could die]: dragon

Dragon gave Sabo advice about how he was going about the battle only for Sabo to speak and correct Dragon.

[I know this, but this is not a battle… It’s a spar, if I wanted to, I could have stayed quiet and struck but then the battle would be no fun]: sabo

Dragon was surprised with Sabo’s words, he then thought to himself.

‘Is this personality from that weird teacher of his?’: dragon

Dragon had only known about all of this due to the trip he made to watch over Luffy, and when Dragon saw a mysterious man training all of them he felt better and decided to leave Luffy in his capable hands.

[So will you take this fight seriously?]: sabo

Sabo antagonised Dragon and told him to fight seriously, and once Dragon heard those words he felt that Sabo was being too cocky so he decided to take off the training wheels and fight Sabo seriously.

[Now don’t complain when I mop the floor with you young Sabo]: dragon

Dragon then started using his King’s Haki to suppress Sabo, but Sabo wasn’t ready for it and ultimately lost his balance sending him to one knee. Dragon saw this and rushed towards the fallen Sabo and pointed the tip of his blade towards Sabo’s throat. Sabo at this moment looked up at Dragon and all he said was one word.

[Sensei?… AGHHH]: sabo

Sabo then grabbed his head and started to roll on the ground and scream in pain, Dragon saw this and quickly grabbed him and brought him to his room. It was also at this point that Sabo passed out and didn’t wake up, even after 2 weeks Sabo was still unconscious. Dragon felt that it had something to do with the pressure Sabo felt from him and something to do with that teacher of his.

[I need to find that teacher… If Sabo doesn’t wake up on his own, maybe that teacher can do something]: dragon

Dragon gave the unconscious Sabo one last look before he put on his hood and left the room to go do something, but even after 6 more days passed Sabo still had not woken up and Dragon had left the Revolutionary Army base in search of something or someone. Nobody knew anything that was going on at the moment and only hoped for Dragon’s safe return and for Sabo to get better soon.

But on the island closest to Foosha Village there was a 14 year old boy and a grown man training in the woods, the boy was sitting down cross legged with a blindfold on while the grown man held a thick wooden stick in his hand, he was speaking to the boy while sometimes swinging the stick and hitting the boy on his head.

[Luffy… Picture where I will strike… Once you do that you will no longer get hit]: ???

[I can’t Sensei!… It’s too har- Ow!]: luffy

Soren was then hit on the head once more with a stick. Soren was with Luffy out in the woods, and Soren was trying to help Luffy grasp even the tiniest bit of Observation Haki. But even after 3 weeks of this all Luffy accomplished was to add more bumps on his head, Soren even thought about taking him to Rayleigh, but after consideration on where Rayleigh was and how it would be pointless to go poke that beast Soren put it to the back of his mind.

[Luffy, Practice harder and dodge the strikes, I will start making them hurt if you don’t]: soren

Soren had thought that one of the reasons Luffy wasn’t grasping Observation Haki was due to the fact that he wasn’t in any kind of pain or danger, even with Soren hitting Luffy on his head Luffy felt nothing because his body was made of rubber. But if Soren had added Armament Haki to the stick and then hit Luffy, then it would be a different story. But right before Soren could start introducing Haki filled attacks he could feel someone watching him, Soren then got curious and went to check it out.

[Luffy… Take a break, I will be back shortly]: soren

Soren then took off towards the person who was watching them.
