Joshua has been training for the past 3 months way harder than he has before, day in, day out, he practiced and because of this he was drenched in sweat repeatedly. He trained tiredlessly not wanting to waste a second ,because that second can be him go further in strength and due to his efforts it all paid off. Just like this old proverb goes and he quotes 'you reap what you sow' and Joshua reaped abundantly. Around 2 months ago Joshua broke through a new realm in swordmanship allowing him to undergo various changes strength, speed, response took a substantial leap . He was even able to perceive somethings like a twig which was currently falling to the ground about 15m northeast from his position or a little bug that is on a weak branch of a small tree to the extreme south from where he stood.
The moon step has improved alot and now Joshua is able to go up a maximum 80ft from ground distance and is able to stand in the air for 2 to 3 minutes . Tempest kick was tremendously increased and now the attack can cut through dozens of tall trees before disappearing. The attack can cause a navy lieutenant commander to be seriously injured if not avoided, even a commander have to take it serious and solemnly when confronted. Due to the fact that tekkai and physical training work hand in hand, Joshua was able to develope tekkai leaps and bounds over the time period making him very satisfied. Soru has improved greatly because of the increase in leg strength which caused Joshua being able to activate the technique in a lesser time frame than before.
The fruit power grew greatly, Joshua was able to develope new abilities and strengthen the ones that he had before. The horrible negating aura was greatly enhanced which caused the air to be more gloomy. Hatred, fear , sorrow, the energy that it gives off now is really dense and suffocating . The lethal damage of the flames is even more terrifying now the pace at which it burns now is more than double than before. The dreadful heat can cause one to perspire more than usual, rapid decline of stamina and also cause you to feel nauseaus and dizzy.
"It time to leave this place," Joshua said indifferently as he slowly got up. and his cold eyes shone slighty under the shade of the tree. Its been almost a year since Joshua been on this island and all he did was train and ignore the useless things. Now its time go.
He walked out from under the tree and what he had on was a black pants that perfectly fit his slim built self, which corresponded with the black under shirt that he has on and over it he had on pitch black cloak.
He stepped off..
....
Near to the village approximately the west of it, there was a white building with stripes of blue on there imprinted a word in big and bold
Navy
The pioneers of 'justice', the ones who roam the 6 seas cleansing the land of all filth and evildoers righteously. In the face of absolute justice all evil shall perish, all the weeping persons shall live, laugh again .
'With justice,' nothing can stand in our way.
The soldiers did their duty dedicatingly whether its was reporting to the high ups, or contant checking off documents, everthing is done for justice. From time to time you would see soldiers in white uniform marching confidently and proudly through the village to see if there any enemy attack or suspicious boat heading towards the island. In the midst of all of this 2 navy recruits could be seeing walking down alley lazily as they ignored the things around them.
"Damn, this place is trash, there is not one good thing to do in the village," the bald head recruit complained as he drank from his sake bottle.
"Lighten up, besides its not like we have to run to fight pirates everytime like some navy bases, we just need to enjoy what we can now," replied the loose uniform person.
The bald guy was silent for a few seconds then sighed and heavily nods to loose uniform guy.
"Maybe your right, "said the bald guy.
The loose uniform guy grinned but when he was about to say something he stopped. His eyes then swept over to a certian area and and what he amde his expression changed.
The bald guy stopped and looked on his partner and wondered why did this guy suddenly stop for. He walked up to him and asked.
"Wh- whats wrong, why did you stop?"
The loose uniform guy duy didn't say anything but point his hands to a certain area. The bald guy was even more puzzled of this guy actions but when he looked to the pointed area his expression changed as well.
...
Earlier Joshua has already left the area, the place he went next was where got a boat and after getting the boat he briught it to the sea. This boat was built during the training period when Joshua would often take breaks to restore strength and get rid of fatique. It was a small boat with unequal cuts and rough textures which can be seen that it was down by a beginner. However, this did not trouble him, it wasn't like he was going to use all time round, he just needed something temporary.
With that said Joshua has bascially finished with the flag and then stepped back a little and looked down on the flag. Skull of the jolly roger was surrounded in pitch blames and the right bone replaced for a sword that gave off a shrap feeling.
"Not bad," he commented, in that same breath a black glint flashed in his eyes. He could here the foot steps coming towards but Joshua didn't mean to stop and ming them heed.
"Boy do you know want your doing,aa' a hoarse voice cam from behind.
A few miutes back, when the bald guy saw why he behave like that he could'nt help but but feel suprised. What did he see a boy who is around 10 years old creating a jolly roger obviously to start sailing as a pirate.They didn't need to report such scene cause they thought they were enough to handle it.
"Get lost before I kill you," Joshua coldly said without even turning around to look on them.
This....
Even though the bald guy was suprised by the boy's his answer his face instantly became black afterwards. The veins stood up in his head, how dare a little kid talk to him like that a big navy officer ,the anger on his face was evident. For this reason,the bald guy took up his gun slowly but was instantly stopped by the loose clothes guy.
"Why are you-,"
"Wait a minute, let me talk."
The bald guy then put down his gun an stared on Joshua fiercely.
"Boy if you put up that flag you will be an enemy of the navy, do you want that ,"the loose man sail slightly solemn.
What the boy doing is too weird he's not hidden or anything but blatantly putting up flag in the middle of broad daylight. Even if we didn't see him earlier on, I'm sure some other navy patrol would, so why do this. Is it for a group of men who want to be pirates maybe, he's eyes flashed then he shook his head. There are basically patrol unit everywhere on the lookout on the island and there are also monitoring snails working 24/7. So it must be for him...
When he thought about things he became more and more solemn, the unknown are always frightening. The loose uniform man had never thought such little guy would be powerful enough directly ignore the navy branch.
Seeing the boy still ignoring him same way, even he was a little angry and anxious, but its obviously just a little boy why is he getting anxious. The bald already started loosing patience and already held on to his gun with the only thought of taking out the boy. As along as your affliated with a pirate or any pirate actions you must be punished by justice even if its a kid. With that thought his grip became firmer and and his eyes flash with a slight haze.
"Being an enemy of the navy."
At that moment Joshua spoke again, but he paused as he slowly turns around.
Then and there, the loose man became even more anxious as he hurriedly held onto his gun and yelled,
"FIRE!"
"I guess its a start..."
"baamm!"
