Chapter 77: Training and Awkward Situations
__________ POV Narration __________
Enel and Wyper walked through the woods again, the two of them were still speaking about their spars mostly, with Wyper asking what Enel had done to grow that strong.
Enel couldn't really give him much of a response besides, 'I had a great teacher and I trained a lot...'
Honestly, that was most of what he had done for the months before Marineford, training.
The only leisure time he had was in the few hours he had slept, or when he was travelling with Hancock and Luffy.
And, at this point, Enel no longer felt the need to be so obsessed with his training. He had already grown strong enough to hold his own.
He would still train from time to time, but the body that he had wanted to polish was already rather powerful.
Strong enough to take hits from both Garp and Whitebeard. Enel could now trust himself to fight even the likes of Kaido without worrying about injuries too much.
His devil fruit provided him with superior firepower, his powerful body now provided him with a lot of stamina.
If the original Enel had tried to pull a stunt like the one he had pulled at Marineford, he would've been killed almost instantly, or would have passed out from exhaustion.
He was now leagues above what he had been when arriving in that world.
Still, seeing Wyper's frustrated expression made him a bit unhappy.
'He could become a rather powerful ally with some proper training'
And with that thought in mind, Enel started speaking to his old sparring partner.
"Wyper... First off, you will have to learn all 6 of the techniques I gave to Gan Fall." Enel instantly caught Wyper's attention with that phrase.
"Obviously! But that might take a while..." The tribal warrior said as he scratched the back of his head for a bit.
"It will, but I will give you the training methods that my teacher used for each technique. It should shorten the time required to gain mastery over each technique by quite a bit..."
Wyper immediately perked up when Enel said that. "Hehe... So you're helping me beat you up, huh?!" The smile on the tribal warrior's face seemed to turn a bit sadistic.
Enel simply laughed at that and proceeded to tell Wyper broadly about the training methods of each technique and which could be learned together.
Some of the 6 techniques simply complemented each other, and learning some first would make learning the others faster.
Similar to how learning either one of Geppo, Soru would make learning the other two much faster.
How training Rankyaku after those two would make it much easier to grasp.
Of course, he also told Wyper about learning Tekkai and Kami-e together.
Shigan needed to be trained separately, as it was a purely offensive technique that only strengthened your arm and fingers.
But Garp also had a method for that. Simply banging your finger into a rock repeatedly until you got stronger.
It was just as painful as his other training methods, Enel simply advised Wyper to learn Tekkai first before jumping into that, to prevent him from breaking his fingers too often.
By the end, Wyper was sweating a bit, Enel's(Garp's) training methods were simply masochistic!
Still, he couldn't allow himself to fall so far behind Enel, he needed to catch up. So he simply memorised what he needed and nodded.
Enel decided to give him a bit of a teaser on what would come after the 6 power too...
"After you are done learning the 6 techniques, I will also teach you how to use Mantra... As well as another version of mantra that allows you to damage devil fruit users like me."
Wyper seemed to get excited a bit when hearing that. It only lasted for a few seconds though, after which he just seemed to deflate.
"I don't really have much talent for Mantra... I don't know how much I'll be able to learn..." He looked rather discouraged for a second.
"Wyper, Mantra is merely a projection of one's spiritual power that manifests thanks to one's willpower.
Some people have a talent for it, some don't. But all are able to use it as long as they are strong enough."
Wyper looked at Enel for a bit when hearing that explanation. He eventually smiled, deciding to trust Enel's words in that instance.
"I get it. It might take me longer, but I'll try to get some mastery over it." The tribal warrior said as he started walking again, heading back towards the city.
"Honestly, the other type of Mantra that I was talking about might be a lot more fitting for you. You have a lot of endurance and strength, so you might learn it relatively quickly... It may take you a year, let's say..."
"That's still a long time though..." Wyper crossed his arms and made a long face when hearing that.
"Bah! Most people take decades to learn it! You should be happy right now you actual dumbass!" Enel got a bit frustrated at that point, as Wyper was genuinely complaining while being a lot more talented than others.
"Don't call me that you long-eared freak!" Wyper immediately started biting back, the two of them weren't exactly against a bit of 'friendly banter'.
Enel also enjoyed this type of lively conversation from time to time, it helped his mind relax quite a bit.
"Well then, I'll be heading back to my cabin for now... I'll probably be away for a week or two again," Enel said as he sighed and claimed down for now.
"Huh? You just came back! Why are you leaving already?" Wyper asked as he gave Enel a long look.
"My old teacher's having some issues, I do have to go and help him out," Enel said as he twirled one of his earlobes around.
"... Fair enough... What about the prisoners?" The tribal warrior asked as he continued walking through the forest.
"I'll visit them when I come back. Not like they are that big of a threat if they were unable to escape until now." Wyper merely nodded when hearing that, not pressing the issue any further.
"By the way, would you be kind enough to deliver food and water to my cabin every day or so? I have a guest there, and I don't want her starving to death..." Enel said as he sighed a bit.
"Oh? 'her'? Did you bring home a girl?" Wyper smiled when hearing that, instantly deciding to tease Enel.
"No, shut up," Enel said with a poker face.
"Sorry, I'm getting emotional, to think our Enel has grown up so much!" Wyper wiped a fake tear from his cheek, while Enel looked at him with empty eyes.
"... I'm at least twice as old as you are..." Enel said as he crossed his arms, and looked at Wyper with a bored expression
Wyper noticed that, so he stopped playing around. "Fine! I'll get going now. Thanks for dropping by, now I have a lot of training to do..."
Wyper then proceeded to fly off on his Shooters, which were technically flying roller blades.
Enel looked at him fly off for a bit, before returning to his cabin to tell Bonney of his departure as well.
When he arrived inside, he was a bit surprised to see Bonney in her usual form, not the child one.
While he was away, Bonney had pondered how to get away from Enel. Seeing how strong he was while he was holding back made her tremble a bit.
She had somewhat forgotten the strength that Enel had displayed during Marineford after spending so much time near him.
He was rather unassuming most of the time, so that was a quick reminder to her that he could kill her at any second.
She realised that, as long as Enel was there, she would simply be unable to escape.
Even worse, Enel seemed to be aware of her location, she had seen him turn around and smile at her while he was walking away with his sparring partner.
So running into the forest was likely not a good option either...
In the end, she turned into her usual form of a 20-something-year-old.
'It should at least hurt a lot less this way...'
Enel had basically told her they'd be living in that small cabin, which only had a small bed.
So she instantly assumed that Enel would likely do something to her since he was a disgusting pervert and it was clear enough that he didn't mind her being a child either.
"What's up?" Enel walked in, and Bonney just sighed when seeing him act in such a relaxed and 'friendly' manner.
"Stop acting and let's just get this over with..." She then started undressing, slipping the suspenders that extended from her shorts off her shoulders.
She then proceeded to try and take off her shorts, at which point Enel's eyes widened a bit and he shouted.
"What the fuck are you doing?!" His expression was certainly a startled one, as his gaze also instantly turned into a confused one, as Bonney also looked at him with a confused gaze...
"Umm..."
She was also honestly incredibly confused.
At that point, she was basically offering herself to him, he had no need to keep up pretences and could just act like the pervert he was...
So why did he reel back when she started undressing?!
"Anyway! I'm going away for a while!" Enel proceeded to instantly leave the house and started floating "SOMEONE WILL DROP BY TO GIVE YOU FOOD! GOOD B-"
Enel didn't even get to finish as he turned into a lightning bolt and vanished into the distance, leaving Bonney extremely confused and quite flabbergasted...
'Don't tell me... Was he... Flustered?!... I guess he wasn't that much of a pervert after all... Now I feel like shit.'
Bonney looked at the ground for a bit, as her previous interactions with Enel suddenly started looking different in her mind.
'He was just being fucking friendly?! Why'd he have to run off though?'
With that thought in mind, Bonney eventually gained a wide smile on her face.
'If he is that shy and easily flustered, I may be able to make use of him! He's a fucking emperor for god's sake...'
Bonney started rubbing her chin as her red lips turned more and more upwards with a wide smile.
'Yes, I can't wait for him to come back! If I can get him wrapped around my finger then the Marines and the World Government will no longer be an issue!'
Bonney instantly started strategizing how to make use of the shy guy that had just run off.
But unbeknownst to her... Enel had already branded her as a sexual deviant in his mind.
It wasn't that he had been flustered, he just didn't feel like dealing with an awkward situation.
He wasn't about to have sex with someone he barely knew anything about.
So he simply ran off like lightning to avoid rejecting her directly...
If only he had the ability to do that in his past life, so many embarrassing moments would've disappeared.
Oh well, the Sky King was off to Impel Down now...
