Chapter 13: Six months later
Six months had passed since Shun arrived at the island, each day that passed he wrote it down in his cave in the form of a stick with a cross on it.
I estimate that the time he sailed would have been about 2 or 3 days at the most before he was shipwrecked.
"It's been six months already..." thought Shun as he made another stick with his knife.
Many times he thought about making a boat and going straight for revenge, but he knew he wasn't powerful enough so he restrained himself. He didn't let his new power affect his judgment.
"Still, these months I progressed a lot, I'm getting more powerful every day..." Shun said encouraging himself. He wanted revenge, but he wasn't stupid.
In these months Shun was able to recover his cauldron, it was harder than he thought since he got lost several times and feared he would not be able to return to the lake, even so, he made it.
He also almost drowned when he went to bathe, he did not know why, but when he entered the water of the lake he felt very weak, if he had been deeper he felt he could not swim and would sink like a rock.
Was the water the weakness of the air? He thought at the time and then dismissed it because it did not make sense. He concluded that it was a weakness or something of these strange fruits.
He improved a lot with his new power, he could manipulate the resistance of the air without any effort, he already did it naturally and as for molding the air currents to avoid having to stop when running, he achieved great progress and was already close to doing it instinctively.
Finally, he managed to create an air current behind him, which propelled him forward, achieving a more explosive and much higher speed. Doing this in curves cost him a little more work.
His strength and endurance improved a lot. First, because every day he ate meat to satiety, which made him increase his endurance and strength a lot, now he didn't look as skinny as before and second, he trained every day to his limits, either running at full speed until he couldn't do it anymore or hitting trees with compressed air.
To make the training a bit more difficult, he carried heavy things like rocks or animals that he killed using them as a load.
Also, his height increased a lot, reaching a height of about 1.70 m. This was due to his good nutrition compared to the previous one, who rarely ate meat.
In addition, he gained more experience in battle since apart from training, he had to hunt to eat, and he faced face to face against wild beasts, previously he created baits and traps to hunt them since his strength was not great.
The most extreme thing he did in these 6 months was to face the lion that almost killed him when he arrived on the island.
Although he couldn't beat it, he used it to test his strength and try new moves, then escaped with his speed, which was much faster than the lion.
At first, he could only dodge and run away, but every day he improved to the point where he could damage the lion. He did not always come out unscathed, he suffered many injuries, but so did the lion.
It became routine to go every day to fight against that lion, creating a relationship of rivalry.
As for his strange ability to feel the presence of others, he did not have much improvement, he could only activate it much faster and he did not have to concentrate so much.
He could have it active while sleeping passively with less range, but it was useful in case he was sneak attacked.
"Well it's time to finish that damn lion" Shun said to himself as he came out of his cave.
He was now dressed in animal skins, much more comfortable and warm than his previous cheap cloth clothing.
Today was the day he decided once and for all to kill the lion. As he headed to the area where the lion lived, he walked quietly through the forest, he had a journey of about 40 minutes at this speed.
His ability to sense the presence of others was passively active with much less range, but in the face of a sudden attack, he will be able to react in time with his speed.
Shun after walking for about 15 minutes, noticed not far from him a wild boar similar to the one he killed half a year ago, only this one was a little taller and sturdier.
He continued walking calmly towards it, not bothered by its presence.
If the boar attacked him, he would kill it, but if he let it pass it would not do anything to him, since it was not his target today.
Shun gathered a lot of food in the last few months so he was no longer interested in this boar's meat.
"ROAR!"
The moment it noticed Shun's presence, the boar roared and started to move its foreleg while scratching the ground. It was preparing for an onslaught.
Shun didn't care about this and kept walking towards it as if it didn't exist, at this the boar started to run furiously.
Before it could hit, Shun closed his fist concentrating compressed air, giving it a grayish glove shape surrounding his hand.
As the boar was about to impact, Shun shouted.
"Air Fist!"
PUM!
The first impacted directly on the boar's head stopping its ferocious momentum and crushing it on the ground.
You could see the boar's eyes pop out and its head exploded like a watermelon.
"OENCCCCCCCC!" the poor boar's last grunt was heard before it died miserably.
"Mm, I have to improve the names of the attacks..." Shun said as he walked away from the body and resumed his walk.
Six months ago he had to use the air blade to take on a similar boar and defeated it after a couple of hits. Now it was not worthy of him to use such an attack to defeat it.
Only one blow of compressed air was enough.
This happened because he can now condescend much more compressed air in his fists and also because he improved his physical strength.
Naturally, if he only improves his physical strength most of his air powers will improve.
25 minutes later, Shun arrived at his destination.
He activated his observation haki, extended his range, and began to search for the lion.
The lion was the king of this area, Shun apart from the lake and the lion area, did not venture further. This is because if the jet lion ruled the vicinity of the forest another much more powerful creature would be in the depths of this forest.
So first he wanted to defeat the lion before venturing into the depths of the forest. After searching for a while he finally found where the lion was and headed towards it.
He did not go to attack it stealthily as he wanted a fair and exciting fight. The lion was on level ground, devouring an animal he had hunted.
"Oh looks like I came at a bad time" Shun said to the lion in a mocking tone.
The lion turned his head and when he saw Shun he was enraged, although he couldn't understand what he was saying, this dwarf had been teasing him for months.
Attacking only to run away and repeat the same thing every day.
"GRRRRR" He growled as he stood up and showed all the bloody teeth of his prey.
Shun got into a guard position and around both of his fists formed compressed air gloves.
Preparing for the final battle with his "good friend" the lion.
