"W-What was that?" Asked Coby as his butt hit the grown, looking at the sword with some fear in his eyes.
"A sword talking?!" Screamed the great Helmeppo
Helmeppo had cold sweat all over his body, he was still a coward even though Garp was training him. The training SWORD gets is just the foundation for their power, because to learn haki, one must have a strong body. Garp is also trying to fix Coby and Helmeppo's cowardness, they are the only two people currently in SWORD to be so frail.
Coby and Helmeppo still looked the same when they first met Luffy, they had only been training with Garp for a few weeks. Though slow, they have been gaining muscles, emphasizing that they haven't been slacking off.... Well at least till now.
"How can you talk?! And why can't Coby hear you?!" Yelled Helmeppo as he ran back behind a rock.
"Kekekekeke. I am Kur, the sword of Repent. Tell me wh-"
Before the sword could finish, all three of them felt pressure coming towards them. It was a strong pressure, stronger than the one 'Kur' released earlier. The aura that was coming towards them was getting closer and closer at an insane speed, and after a few seconds, their eyes met 2 figures wearing marine clothing. These two were none other than Garp and Bogard, who instantly went towards the aura released by 'Kur'.
"Garp-san!" yelled in excitement by the two boys Coby and Helmeppo.
But their excitement soon faded away as soon as they realized that they were slacking off in training.
"You two! I will give you my fist of love later! But first, who was the person who released the conqueror's haki?"
The two boys were scared at first, but when they saw the serious faces of Garb and Bogard, they instantly stiffened up.
"I-It's the sword!" Finally answered Helmeppo
"Sword? A sword releasing conqueror's haki?" Asked Garp as he looked at Bogard
Garp was skeptical about what Helmeppo said, but he had no reason to not believe his student. Garp placed trust in the two, even though he beat them every time they saw each other.
'I've never heard of a sword that can release a conqueror's haki. Could it be a devil fruit user who can turn himself into a sword?' thought Garp
"Garp-san! Helmeppo also said that the sword was talking to him!" Said Coby
Bogard and Garp were surprised, they never heard about a talking sword before. Garp was more and more suspicious of the sword, he was sure that it was a devil fruit user, though he wasn't sure if it could turn someone into a sword.
Garp looked at Bogard again and nodded. Bogard had a similar thought to Garp. Bogard has been with Garp since he was chasing the Pirate King, though he looks weak, Bogard is stronger than most marines and is one of the best teachers. He was said to already be at the Admiral level as he has been with Garp for many years, though these were only rumors... Bogard is also one of, if not the best swordsman in the Marines.
After both of them looked at each other, the two of them nodded. Bogard then started to walk toward the sword while one of his thumbs was letting out his sword. As Bogard stands before the two kukri, his arm suddenly turns black and proceeds to pick up the two kukri with both his hands holding one.
[Note: I'm making it so that other people see the color of the armament haki]
Holding the two kukri in front of him, Bogard just sighed, he was disappointed, he thought that the sword might be a legendary sword. As Bogard got ready to put it back down, he suddenly felt chills run down his spine as the sword emitted another conqueror's haki. Bogard wasn't affected much by the haki because he was used to it, and the haki was weak compared to that 'man.'
"Put me down, you are not worthy!"
As the conqueror's haki continued to erupt, a sudden voice came out of the sword and directly spoke to Bogard who was still holding the sword, then suddenly dropping it after hearing the ugly voice.
"What happened Bogard?" Asked Garp with a frown
"That sword... It has something inside it, or perhaps IT is the sword. I don't know what it is, but I know it's dangerous. Garp-san, we should bring this thing back to HQ and have it researched, this thing might be dangerous" replied Bogard with a serious face
Garp agreed with Bogard's words. After he was done talking to Bogard, he got rid of the two boys by giving them 10x training back at the base.
"Bring me back to the W head-shaped boy!" said 'Kur'
As Garp and Bogard were talking, Bogard suddenly looked back at the sword with a frown on his face.
"What's wrong? Did that thing speak again?"
"Yes, he said to bring him back to Helmeppo"
"What for? Oi sword guy, what are you going to do with my students?" asked Garp with a frown
After a few minutes of Garp getting mad because the sword wasn't talking to him, Bogard suddenly said to him,
"Garp-san, I think he can only talk to me and Helmeppo...."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I told you we shouldn't have went outside of the base!" Yelled Coby
"Sor *Huff* ry *Huff*" Apologized Helmeppo
The two of them were currenly training in the underground training hall where the other SWORD memebers also trains. Currently, they are training 10x harder because of the order Garp gave them. If they didn't follow, they would probably die.
Even though the two of them started training under Garp, Coby was still more fit and had more stamina than Helmeppo. This was because Coby wasn't always slacking off like Helmeppo, who would only give the bare minimum and then be finished.
10 minutes later~
Two figure could be seen in the big training ground of the SWORD, a pinked haired boy was standing while a blod W head shape boy was sitting down while trying to catch his breath.
"Come on Helmeppo, it's only been 10 minutes!" Yelled Coby trying to motivate Helmeppo.
As the two of them talk, the big door of the training ground suddenly opened, and 8 figures could be seen walking inside.
"I see you two are working hard" Said Garp
The 8 figures were Garp and Bogards with the rest of the SWORD behind them.
"Garp-san you're back!" Said Coby
"What happened to the swords?" Asked Helmeppo
When Helmeppo finished his question, Garp looked at Bogard who simply nodded. Suddenly 2 swords could be seen in the air as Bogard threw 2 swords at Helmeppo. Helmeppo seeing two swords flying at him panicked and catched the swords in an awkward position.
"Um, Garp-san. What do you want me to do with these?"
"It kept asking us to take it with you, it said you were the chosen one or whatever it said" Said Garp while Picking his nose
"M-Me?! The chosen one?!" Yelled Helmeppo
Thinking about him being the main character, Helmeppo started running and jumping around like a moron, yelling he was the main character and everyone should bow before him.
"Yeah yeah, anyway, that sword is strong. So why don't you try and out" said Garp with a grin on his face
"Try it out?" asked Helmeppo
After hearing Garps voice and seeing his smile. Helmeppo suddenly froze and cold sweat started to from in his face while he had a forced smile on his face.
"Yeah, try it out by fighting me!"
