Arriving at the intended spot koze realised even in the morning when it the brightest there was barley any light coming to the forest floor leaving him barley shadows to see.
Zoro:"hehehehe I can't lie it's pretty creepy and scary but this just means this is just perfect for me to train my observation haki in my spare time"
Zoro first swings the wooden swords 1000000 times to tire his arms half out and the stone swords 2000000 times so that his arms were reaching there limits and for every sloppy swing he did he would have to do an extra 500000 swings in perfect form just to beat it into his muscle memory and with the metal swords he swung them 1b times to forcefully obliterate his limits but this method would leave the user in immense pain he also did this to Improve his endurance . Sometimes he would encounter massive boars and bears but he used them as his sword dummies and were slaughtered brutally. But this wasn't enough for Zoro he wanted to cut them down as if they were blades of grass so he tripled his previous excersizes and punishments to try accomplish the feet. For his observation haki training he used his swords to make a contraption that if he failed to sense them whilst all his senses were blocked they would stab him or swing down on him but the blades were blunt so they wouldnt kill him just break a few of his bones cleanly or cause ruptures in his ligaments and muscles sometimes when the bones snapped cleanly and began to reconnect again they would be 10x stronger than they were before and sometimes the muscles would grow to be as hard as 7 inch plated steel but because of his muscles being compact he would develop a twelve pack and a baki physique with a huge zoro scar to complement his chest. 6 months later
Zoro :"FINAAAAAAAALLLLLY I CAN FEEL THE RYTHM OF ALL THINGS AND MY OBSERVATION HAKI HAS BROKEN THROUGH TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERMEDIATE STAGE!"
Zoro:" All I need to do now is to get my niitoryu style mastered completly (95%) and get it used to using the rhythm of all things and finally start training and getting my santoryu style to the post kuma fight. "
After deciding what he needed to work on he went to sleep. But then soon he woke up to the sound of stampede and animals screaming... THERE WAS A FOREST FIRE!
