After declaring his goal, Pate looked at himself and said "But before that, I'll do something much more important."
"What is it?" asked the phantom cat who followed Pate who is walking in the direction of a river on the edge of their place and said, "I think we should name these territories of ours, what do you think?"
"Forest it is then." uninterestedly said by the phantom cat which Pate retorted instantly "That's lame, it should Hundreds of Rubbles Forest. It's much more befitting."
"Whatever." letting out a whimper, the phantom cat couldn't help but feel tired from talking with this brat.
They reached the river and Pate hurriedly undressed his only clothes, his shorts, and threw the leaf package in the side, and jumped without thinking much.
Weakness spread throughout Pate's body as he felt again how fragile a devil fruit user was in the embrace of the sea.
Steadying himself on the side of the shallow river, he relaxed a bit as he closed his eyes and said "While we are relaxing here, why not talk about the general story of the war that happened here?"
The phantom cat looked at the brat 'How am I supposed to relax?' Now that he thinks about it, this is one of the disadvantages of being ethereal.
"Well then hhhhmmm, I won't explain about the background of my savior because you know about that. I'll describe the gist of the war back then, considering I don't know much." the phantom cat thought for a while as he organizes the information, and Pate waited quietly.
"There were three dominating powers back then, for millennia they occupied their territories with overwhelming strength."
"Two entire seas are the sovereignty of the two rulers back then, the mighty lord of the sea - Poseidon who has dozens of powerful Sea King in his command." there is a respect that cannot be hidden in depth of phantom cat's eyes.
"And the powerful will of the D royalty who holds the most powerful ship that could destroy a continent with its full blown cannons and artillery." the phantom cat drew two small circles in the ground in the edge of the river and the side of it, he drew one big circle that has the same size of the two circles combine.
"These two powers always hinder the most powerful race to monopolize the whole world, because they are known for their brutality and cruelness to the people who they deem unworthy in their presence." The Guardian Forest can't help but unleashed his intimidating pressure in his surroundings and even though he is much weaker he got so much blood in his vines and roots in an uncountable battles he got through.
That's why his pressure is tainted with killing intent that the water in the river splash in waves.
He looked at Pate who is closing his eyes like he didn't even feel his outburst, he sigh and calm himself down for a bit, and continued.
He knows that Pate is still listening to him, that's why he will keep going on until he finishes it.
"They are the number one dominant race back then - the tenryubito or known as Heavenly Dragon Folk."
"A race that has three powerful bloodlines the Ialedia (i-ya-le-di-ya) having the power to exert a powerful intimidating power with their will alone, they become the leader of the other two."
"Secondly is the Awei (a-wey) with their magical black membrane that envelope them like armor, they are so tough and hard to deal with into hand to hand combat."
"And lastly the Trivias (tri-byas) who have the most powerful perception that can encompass a whole continent with their powerful soul." he looks at Pate, he knows that Pate has this powerful blood flowing in his veins, one of the proudest blood lineages in the Tenryubito race.
He continued "But an unknown spark lit up the feud between the three powerful powers that lead into these scenes and that is the only thing that I know of."
Phantom Cat looked down as he remember the mountain skulls they see back there "And it looks like we heavily lose in that war."
As the Phantom cat falls into its own thought, Pate was thinking the similarities between the powerful will manifestation Haki to the three powerful blood lineage of the Tenryubito.
Even in the start that Pate acquired this body, he notice how the power of perception has so many similarities to the Color of Observation Haki and thought he was just overthinking but now he didn't think so.
'Who in the world, discover haki? Did they copy the three lineages of the Tenryubito to acquire it and enhance it to become much powerful after grinding it to death battles?'
His thinking was interrupted by the phantom cat who hover above him and look down at him with a questioning look.
Noticing the shadow that cover his face he opened his eyes and looked eye to eye with the Guardian Forest "I know that you are one of the Trivias noble and you successfully awaken the bloodline lineage power deep in your body but still -" the phantom cat halt his question as he feels complicated if he would ask, would he got the answer he wanted to hear or the answer that he prayed he wouldn't hear from this brat.
Pate waited patiently because he know what kind of feeling the spirit would have.
"Are you going to be my enemy or my ally?" with a determination that flashes in the eyes of the Guardian Forest, he still asks it away and is ready to accept the outcome whatever it is.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Pate laugh so hard that he didn't feel the weakness that affect him and even slap the surface of the river "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"kiddo! I'm serious, you bastard!" the phantom cat clawed the face of the laughing Pate but was caught by the smiling Pate and said "I'm a friend after we got through so many difficulties. I see you as a friend."
The phantom cat couldn't help but be stunned and smile after a while "You kiddo, you are the only one who said that I am a friend."
"Don't worry, it wouldn't happen again so cherish that time because it would be the first and the last time you will hear that from me." slumping back in a relaxed position, Pats couldn't help but closed his eyes as he feel the the weaknes overwhelmed him again.
'Thank you, kiddo.'
