Chapter 10: Chapter 9: Rokushiki
Garp took Kenzo near a training camp of the new marine soldiers and recruits.
Kenzo saw hundreds of navy soldiers doing exercises in a large open space.
"This is the best of the best recruits this year. 500 navy recruits which have the most potential are selected from thousands of navy recruits every year. Each of them are strong and are authorised to practice the Rokushiki." Garp told Kenzo
Kenzo now saw the strength of the navy for the first time. There were thousands of people joining the navy every year with 500 of those practicing Rokushiki.
Then there were admirals who could compete with a pirate emperor in strength alone.
It is precisely because there are so many potential newcomers joining each year that the marine will become the strongest in the coming years. They have both quantity and quality on their side.
"After half a year, a screening will be conducted to select fifty people for special training. These would be considered as Elites of the marine.
Kenzo has already guessed who will train these 50 people in half a year. Formal Admiral Black Arm Zephyr will be the one who would train these people.
Zephyr has trained many outstanding talents for the Navy over the years. The three future admirals of the Navy -Kizaru, Akainu and Aokiji are all his students.
"Listen now boy, In the next six months, I will personally train you. My training will only be a little tough so you don't have to worry much and I will not show any mercy even if you are my nephew!" Garp said
Kenzo knew that whoever Garp trained were not weak and would become great figures in the future. Some of them were Coby, Luffy, Ace and Aokiji.
Kenzo couldn't wait to train. Garp could feel Kenzo's strong conviction to train. But he knew that a strong conviction was necessary for Kenzo to increase in strength.
Even if Kenzo had eaten a strong devil fruit and had trained a lot in the past year, it still was not enough to compete with people who are born with stronger physical strength like Big Mom or Kaido or the giants to name a few.
Garp trained Kenzo for the next 6 months. For the first month, He focused on increasing Kenzo's physical strength by making him do a lot of excercises and lifting a lot of weight. He also made him increase his endurance by beating him and then healing him and doing it again and again.
The next step in Kenzo's training was to train and learn Rokushiki.
Currently, Kenzo only relied on the space abilities of his devil fruit. But he lacked with respective to other aspects of combat.
So Garp decided that Rokushiki would be very helpful for Kenzo to increase his combat experience.
When Garp taught Kenzo Rokushiki, he just told him the principles and training methods for each of the techniques and then he asked Kenzo to explore and train these methods himself.
'So much for making me train for 6 months by himself.' Kenzo thought
Although he knew the strength of Rokushiki, he was still suprised to see what it was capable of.
Besides it was also a foundation for Armament Haki.
What astonished Kenzo was that a person can make their own variations and derived techniques from the original techniques allowing them to increase their versatility and strength.
He found learning 'Soru' to be useless since he had teleportation.
Soru allows the users to move at extremely high speeds in order to avoid attacks, as well as to attack at higher speeds and with greater power. It was revealed that the principle of this move was to kick off the ground at least ten times in the blink of an eye.
But Garp said if ever his devil fruit powers didn't work, it would come in handy then.
The next technique was Geppo which he quite liked since it would allow him to walk on air. This would help when he is on Sea. Since he can't swim, he would need this ability to escape from sea or to reach another shop just from running in the air.
The next technique was Tekkai which would be useful before he learns Armament Haki as
it hardens the users muscles to the level of iron, allowing them to withstand and effectively nullify any damage they might have taken from attacks.
It can also be used to enhance the user's attacks by the increased density one gets from using it.
The next technique was Rankyaku which is a powerful projectile technique, in which the users start by kicking at very high speeds and strength, which results in a sharp compressed blade of wind that can slice through objects and greatly damage a human body.
A long range technique is something Kenzo lacked right now and this would come in useful in the future.
Shigan is the close-quarter combat technique, in which the user uses their finger to pierce the target's flesh, at a very high speed.
Not really that useful, but it looked cool to Kenzo so he decided to learn it. He wanted to use it as the Hyuga's gentle fist. He would name it 8 trigrams 64 fingers.
The most useful technique of the six that Kenzo really wanted to learn was Kami-e which allows users to relax their body and make it take on the characteristics of a piece of paper. This grants the user extraordinary flexibility that allows them to avoid any attacks.
