”Ok” gary agree’d, mild disappointment in his voice, he would have liked to do more, but he wasn’t going to pretend he knew nearly enough about this process to accurately gauge wether that was a smart or dumb move. The next task was somewhat more activity related, as well as a chance to show off his own personal prowess. Or it might have been, since that’s where he would have put it….IF HE HAD ANY!!! Oh god oh god oh god oh god, he was gonna know, he was gonna know his aim was shitty and that he was a useless slim snail, and he’d be kicked out on the street again and everyone would be chanting mucus butt just like the had at jenny gill’s 4th birthday party. Curse this finely toned muscular mucus laden derrière of his. Well he’d come this far so there was no backing out now, following ginjo’s lead he ambled his way over to the firing range, besides which multiple half finished projects seemed to lay strewn around and though gary couldn’t decipher just what exactly the technology was it was clear to see it was leagues ahead of the stuff he was working on. When they arrived gin offered him a selection of weapons to choose from, and while they were all elegant and beautiful in their own right, he figured if he was going to do this it was best to do it with a weapon he was comfortable with after all. ”It’s fine no worries, I brought my own” his jaunty tone masking sweaty palms and a stomach full of butterflies. ”Ahh I see, so I just have to destroy the paper target? Sure I can do that” it wasn’t nearly as strenuous a task as he’d thought, if it was just that much he could do it with ease. And so, facing off with his foe he start down the line, envisioning his victory before screaming his battle cry. ”TIME TO DIE YOU PULP MADE MOTHERFUCKER” spittle flying from his mouth as his eyes were scrunched tights, cannon, gatling gun, shotgun and rifles all protruded out from his shell, before blasting an assault on target and ear drums as they blasted off their payload’s in unison, hammering the back wall with a storming barrage. When finally he did stop, panted breaths were accompanied by the steady whir of the gatling gun winding down. ”Did I do it?” a little apprehension in his voice as he finally opened his eyes once more.

Gin nodded a bit, he figured that Gary would want to use his own but it was only polite to offer. Leaning back he would raise a hand and and hold his chin a moment in thought as he watched the multitude of weaponry that popped from the shell- thankfully he knew about it already from their previous talk. He would lean back and arch a brow however at the sudden personality switch that Gary had- it was fairly common he supposed, the snail acted very frail and unsure- pent up aggression was often found in those that were like that. However what he cared about was not that, nor the fact the target was basically utterly demolish from the barrage of weaponry, what he cared about was the fact the snail closed his eyes. As the smoke cleared and Gary asked if he did it, Gin nodded. "You did it, but you still failed in a way. You closed your eyes- if the target was moving it would have missed completely. You have to learn to channel that anger properly so you can keep up with moving targets and retain focus while firing or you'll be dead." He explained this calmly as he would hit the button for another target to move forward for the snail-man to target. "This time use only one of them, and keep your eyes open- I want to test your accuracy ... keep that anger, but try to keep it under control at the same time. Channel it." He explained as he leaned against the wall and slid his hands into his pockets. He was fairly certain that if Gary tried, he would be able to harden that anger into resolve and gain an advantage to his speed and accuracy- it was possible he just had to try. It would probably take alot of practice but that was fine, this form of training worked just as well as the usual spars and the like that he had used before with his past "students" so to speak. Glancing toward the main target once more he waited and watched, trying to keep track as his Haki reached out to sense just how well the fishman would manage to hit his target. The way he fired, his position, how his emotions and actions felt when he did so- it was all important so that he could also learn and help the snail-man properly progress. |

In the wake of the violent outburst the silence was almost crushing. Smoke thinned and scraps of debris floated to the ground, the paper target was indeed shredded but there was also an excessive number of bullet holes in the surrounding walls, it was safe to say the barrage had been unleashed without a thought for accuracy. But in the wake of it gin didn’t seem at all bothered by the volatile nature of the attack only by one thing in particular, and one that gary hadn’t much considered when it came to fighting. Closing his eyes, in all honesty it wasn’t a conscious choice, fighting and more often than not the people it involved was scary as shit, it had become reflex for him to scrunch his eyes up tight in the heat of battle and pretend he was somewhere else, spraying bullets until there was nothing left to be hit by them. But it wasn’t untrue to say that if he fought anyone with any real level of skill that had the ability to block or evade his initial rampage he was going to be full on shit out of luck. ”Okey doke, just one target, yes sireeee, can do, will shoot. Tottaly gonna ace it, got this in the bagaroo” despite his flawless blustering it probably wasn’t too subtle he was somewhat stalling for time because the thoughts of impending failure were more than slightly unsettling. But opting for a single rifle he retracted the rest of his arsenal into his shell and primed himself to prepare a shot. Steadying himself he altered the angle of fire a few degree’s at a time to ensure it would go as close to center as possible, or at least as possible for him. Then he took a single deep breath in and BANG! Fired with the slow exhale, the next target along his aim. |

Ginjo patiently watched as the snail-man seemed so unsure of himself at the prospect as the young man simply watched and waited- curious how this would pan out. Making a mental note that he chose the rifle- which made sense considering that this was what it was designed to do, and would likely help him aim the most- and of course from there he simply watched and waited. Once Gary took the shot his eyes trailed toward the barrel as he watched the bullet fly, his Haki letting him hone in on the path it took as it blew the target wide open, the aim was decent- several times better then a normal marines, but nothing overly impressive ether- which was, to be entirely fair completely fine. Gin nodded as he would glance toward the snail-man, "See? You can do it if you focus. Keep going- continue with just the rifle until you feel like you can be confident in your actual abilities with it to fire on mark and no close your eyes and flinch. Once you reach that point I want you to start with two and do so once more. Take as long as you want, and do so as many times as you need- don't worry about looking good or what I may think." he stated with a simple nod, if Gary was going to really progress with this only experience would help him do so- being a cyborg meant he had incredible firepower, the snail fishman just needed to learn how to properly use it. Gin would pull up a seat and roll it back, working quietly on his sword once more as he let Gary have his way with the firearms- he was far more concerned that he got in the practice and confidence- not really to worried about his actual skill level. That would increase as time passed after all- but the actual usage of being able to fire without any drawbacks was key. The grand line was filled with people that could dodge bullets fired by skilled Marksman that were trying- let alone someone whom closed their eyes, sprayed bullets, and prayed. He would die almost instantly- Gin knew this, so he had to make sure that the snail-fishman learned what he could while he was under his care. |

The urge to close his eyes was strong, there was a significant part of the snail that didn’t even want to see how the shot went, that didn’t want to have to watch as he performed so poorly. But when he forced himself to keep his eyes open what he saw even surprised him a little, and certainly exceeded expectations ,he did not stray from the target entirely but actually managed to hit it, and while it wasn’t a bulls eye it certainly wasn’t nearly as pathetic as expected. He did it, and if he did it once he could do it again right?...Right?!?! Gin suggested he continue his practice until his aim was more sure of itself to which he nodded emphatically, he would do this as many times as he had to till he knew exactly where the bullet would go. It had never much been his style to aim with precision, that after all would have taken some measure of skill something he had 0 confidence in himself to produce. Instead he had simply loaded himself up with all the arms he could think of and decided that enough guns would outweigh the need to be able to aim with them. But that would after all not allow him to sail through every situation, and this training certainly wasn’t about taking the easy way out. He stared at the target, glared at the target, until the red dot at it’s center was burned eternal into his cortex, then focusing his weapons aim he fired once more, this time piercing the little sheet of paper somewhat closer the middle mark. His eyes shone fiercely, mostly because they were severely blood shot from his determination not to close them. He had been told to keep them open and he would, no matter how long it took, he’d never blink again if it came to it!! Though he probably was gonna need to invest in some eye drops or something, it seemed like that might get a little dirty. The ballistic blast of gun fire exploded time and time again as he took shot after shot, tears began to roll involuntarily down his cheeks flushed red but gary would not concede to them, he was not so weak a snail man as that. Even when the images got blurry he knew where to focus, firing round after round as he refined his aim. |

Gin calmly worked on his blade as he heard the gun shots fire again and again- as the minutes ticked by as he worked on the breath dial, tinkering as he took a tube from the wall and inserted its tip into the altered spout of the dial, turning the dial on to absorb as he then began to pour hydrogen gas into the dial. Slowly he let his eyes trail toward the snail man, noting the fact he was refusing to blink at all as he released shot after shot- he allowed it for the most part until he noticed the tears and redness- shaking his head a bit with a soft chuckle of amusement. "You can blink between shots Gary- that's important as well if you intend to retain accuracy in combat." He corrected gently- making sure to time his statement after the shot so that he could be heard. With his bit said he let the snail-man do as he wished as he continued his work, noting the popping and hissing sound from the dial signalling it was full and leaking instead he cut the gas off and blew the dial off as he examined it carefully for any cracks or fissures before nodding- seeming satisfied as he would then carefully insert it into the first slot for the blade as he attached all the pipes and carefully laid the triggers and wiring so the release of the gas would be seamless as he nodded- satisfied as he began on the next dial. The flame dial was less easy to properly fill, it's "gas" was far more volatile after all. "Gary; I will be in the next room. There will be alot of fire so if you enter be very careful." He commented as he rose up, dial in hand. Entering into the side-room of his lab Gin would run a hand through his hair before closing the door behind him and eyeing the multitude of turrets of varying types that filled it. Moving toward the main console as he would hit a few settings and watch as the turrets spun to their flamethrower setting. Narrowing his eyes he raised a hand and slammed it forward with dial in hand as soon as he heard the click, his Haki allowing him to locate, sense and withstand the shift before he watched as the dial switched- and the flames were devoured by it as it glowed a soft pink. He ignored the light burning pain and instead allowed the white-hot flames to be sucked up into the dial, once it was full hitting the "off" switch on the turrets. His dial loaded he would re-enter the main room and glanced toward Gary- curious how the Fishman was doing, or what he was doing more specifically. |

In the midst of repeated gun fire gin caught a moment of silence to correct gary’s attempt to keep his aim on track, letting him know he could in fact blink all he had to do was do it between shots. ”Of course! Thank you teacher” slamming a curled fist into his palm as though some revolutionary philosophy had just been discovered rather than simply alert he was missing out on basic common sense. It was like a spa for his eye balls as they were allowed to meet with lid once more, the searing sting of drying optical juices rapidly alleviating as was the really rather irritating stream of face water that poured out of them. Suddenly it was like he saw the world in HD again, and steadying his aim wasn’t nearly so tricky as it had been only minutes before. ”Ok Sea you shortly” bidding his teacher good bye though not taking his eyes off the firing range, he was going to conquer this, he would make these targets his bitch. Shell casings steadily surrounded him as the number of rounds he had fired piled, but he was coming to the point where he felt relatively confident at hitting the bulls eye across the range, though at no small expense to ammo. He’d even taken to pulling gun slinger poses and uttering small quotes to remind himself what a badass snail he was ”You talking to me? You talking to me?!?!” PEW! ”Asta la vista bye bye papy” BANG! ”You feeling lucky, huh punk??” BOOM! It was actually kinda fun, but he couldn’t linger on frittering his time away for too long, now it was time for challenge number 2, he had made it to the second level. Another rifle made it’s way protruding from his back coming to rest level with the first, and this time he began to aim each individually going for two separate targets at once before firing the shot. And when he did both his aim’s had been hampered and not to mention the set up had taken him longer than with only one, this was going to be no good in a fight at this rate.

Ginjo arched a brow as he re-entered to find Gary utilizing two rifles now- and doing much worse, it was to be expected really. Utilizing "duel-wielding" of any sort tended to half the accuracy and skill of whatever it may be- sometimes even more varying on your experience and physical capabilities. Both being things that Gary lacked, and it meant it would take alot of time- taking the dial he would meander back toward his blade where he would carefully start to insert it. Calling simply over his shoulder to his student- "Don't get discouraged, Gary. The entire purpose of this is that you'll be bad until you train to become better- then you take the next step and repeat. It's the only way you'll gain confidence, just keep going." After giving his bit of advice he would carefully begin to tighten and re-attach the switches, triggers, slim metal strands and so forth that connected the two dials together as well as giving each their separate tubes that led along the blade. He would slowly examine the blade in thought before closing it up and re-tightening the screws that held it together properly as he rose up and dusted himself off a bit, his eyes trailing toward Gary instead as he sheathed the blade and attached it to its leather band as he slung it over his shoulder and rested it there carefully before moving toward the snail-man as he watched him practice once more- seeming content to simply pay careful attention for the moment. As the snail-man would fire and train he would start to lean against the wall in thought, a few hours into the training he would eye the snail-man. "How do you feel about taking it back to a single gun, but now keeping it to a moving target? It should make it more difficult for you but also give you much more experience against something that is actively trying to dodge you." From his perspective it wasn't really a 'step back' as it was actually far more difficult to keep track of a moving target with a single gun then a stationary target(s) with two separate guns, granted cybernetics could help avoid that weakness but in the end it was still an advanced skill for any marksman to learn. |

Well that was no good, just as it looked like he was becoming a little adept at something he went straight back to being shit again not 30 seconds later. If it was going to be like this all the way through it wasn’t hard to see how a snail man just might get a little disappointed. But alas, he had not the time neither the priviledge of wallowing in self pity, not if he wanted to turn himself into a snail he could be proud of and go back to tell those jerk wads that they could suck it and die, as they gazed upon his manly physique while shooting fruit fly’s out of the air at 200m blindfolded. Goddamn it was gonna be good being manly. But fortunaly just as desperation threatened to wrap him in it’s gloomy grip gin was there with a warm word of encouragement to raise his spirits. Which was lucky, because he had happened to be on the verge of ending up a little disheartened. It made sense though, if it took that little work to be good at something everyone would be doing it of course, and it would be worth nothing. If he could be beaten so easily he wouldn’t be worthy of the title of manliest. At the prospect of returning to just a single weapon he mulled for a moment, but it was indeed just that, for it did not take long for him to make his decision. ”Yeh definitely! Lets do that!” after all, what good was it being able to hit a stationary target, it was a good start but he didn’t intend to focus solely on sniping, there would definitely be those targets who knew he was coming and reacted accordingly. But if just shooting two guns had been hard, this would surely be mind numbingly difficult, the question wasn’t so much was he ready for the challenge as how long could he endure failing at it. |

Gin chuckled at the way the snail-man seemed to get himself back together so quickly; though the fishman seemed to have low-self esteem he at least bounced back well. Nodding as Gary agreed he would hit the button and flip a switch to "slow" as the target began to make slow zig-zag movements starting from the back and heading toward Gary at his positioning from its supports. He would lean back and watch as it shifted back and forth through the target ring and curiously watch Gary to see how the fishman would react to a now moving target. Leaning back he stretched as he let his gaze travel slowly toward the rifle. Should Gary fail to hit near the center it would continue moving, the target was programmed to continue moving until it had taken three shots at the edge, two near the center, or one in the center. Each time it was hit caused it to halt for a second if it was the edge- two if it was near the center, and of course it stopped moving entirely if it was hit in the center at all. Gin was curious how Gary would deal with a moving target- he didn't' expect him to stop it right off the bat, it would likely take several attempts, but it was possible the fishman would surprise him- he already had a few times after all. The electroshock therapy combined with this could rapidly help the fishman mature and grow physically. Leaning back he crossed his ankles as he leaned against the wall, watching the targets patterns and pondering how long it would take Gary before they would manage to get it to the next step including the usage of letting it move to the next speed tier "medium". He supposed that was up to Gary- and that thought made him smile weakly, it was nice being able to help people again he supposed; after Haruka he had been unsure if he really had it in him to maintain any level of real skill at training and helping someone get strong. He felt alot like a dead, kicked horse. That thought caused a grimace and he took a swig of his coffee- suddenly wishing it had something a bit stronger in it as he would sigh to himself and simply go back to watching to get his mind off it. |

With the flick of a switch the target began to move, mechanics whirred as cogs turned and propelled it along a track. It’s movements were relatively rudimentary and it’s speed not especially fast but regardless it was leagues different to the stationary practice he’d been engaged in moments before. Similar sounds of mechanics in action came form his back as one of the rifles was retracted into the snail man’s shell. He’d only be needing the solo shooter for this particular exercise. Focusing much as he had before on his target he cocked the rifle and let off a shot, only to let out a huff of frustration as it DING!’d off the metal on the back wall. Well that was no good, no good at all, and so he promptly took another shot, but this one too was to no avail and the sound of his failure rang clear for all the hear. Not one to give up so swiftly he realigned and tried once more, but again all he heard were the heralding’s of a missed shot. It was like the target was taunting him, trailing just ahead of his bullets path. He took another and another, but each time they went astray until finally in a fit of frustration he reeled of several rounds one after the other, spraying in a line finally hearing the tear of a paper target pierced, even if it was only the very edge of the squared corner. Stood panting a little after his frustrated outburst he reconsidered for a moment, weighing up what was different about the shot that had hit as opposed to those that missed. And after a moment’s meager contemplation he realized it, the error of idiocy he had let go to this point, the reason the target was always one step ahead. If it was moving of course you couldn’t’ shoot where it was, you had to shoot where it was going. Rejuvenated by realization he took stock once more, adjusting his rifle so it was aligned just ahead of the mobile mark before firing once again. This time the tear returned for all to hear, the target pausing briefly It’s outer most ring with a hole in it. Right now he was getting somewhere. |

Ginjo quietly watched as Gary fired again and again- he didn't comment, knowing the fishman was more then intelligent enough to know how to fire ahead. He would just have to learn and think about it for a moment- as the pings filled the air he simply leaned back and sipped his drink once more after fetching it from his desk. As the shot got closer- he grinned just a bit, there it was; the start. Within the next few shots Gary had it, learning to shoot a moving target was hardly easy but it would certainly be easier now that he had the first step down. "When your fighting an actual person, it can actually be easier debatable ... you learn to ready body movements and with them you learn how to move a step ahead of them." He explained this as he swished the drink in his cup in slow circles in thought, "Hell- awakening Haki can make it that much easier on top of that." He pondered as he sipped his drink before his eyes slowly glanced toward the fishman with a grin- "Though if your lucky you'll never be forced to awaken it. It's not a pleasant experience generally." He pondered more to himself as he leaned against the wall in thought, examining the holes in the target curiously as it began to move once more as he finished speaking, making it obvious it fully intended to continue moving until its systems ramifications were met that it was "dead" effectively- something that it had not yet. "In a real fight, you've shot the person in the arm effectively. Their in pain, slower and loosing blood but not down by any means. Now go for the headshot instead." he instructed calmly as he raised the cup to his lips once more. He felt like it was bad to teach someone, encourage them even- to kill. But he also knew there was no way around it in this ocean, especially so beyond it- and into the depths of the later end of the Grand Line or even worse; the New World. These oceans were not the place for those that wished to live peaceful or easy lives, it was the exact opposite in fact- he supposed this was fates way of proving that to both him and any whom he intended to teach. Glancing at Gary, he watched- waited to see how the fishman would react. |

At the sound of gin’s voice gary turned to take in the information, nodding in understanding. It was times like this he felt the urge to scatter for a pen and pad and start writing the suggestions down but he thought he might betray his own immature inexperience even more than he had already so instead he opted to commit it to memory and writ down his teaching when he returned to his room. Or wherever it was he was going to be staying for the duration of his time here, come to think of it he hadn’t actually asked that, was this lab his home now? Well that was probably an issue for a less occupied time. It made sense, learn about how people fight and you can predict where it will go, if you can predict you can properly aim and if you’ve got that then you’re set as a marksman, though he was a long way off from accumulating even nearly enough combat experience for such things. ”Umm, whats haki?” he asked in confusion upon hearing the alien word. It had come up in the foyer too with both men seeming to intuitively understand the concept but to gary it made no sense. It almost sounded cruel when you verbalized it, tagging the opponent, not enough for a clean swift kill but enough so that they were injured and in pain. Now he had to put them out of their misery. With an obedient nod he followed the instructions, training his gun on the targets movements. Factoring in the distance and speed judged from his previous attempts he took one more try at dead center, but was successful only in hitting the white that surrounded it. Not one to be so easily deterred he lined up once more, determined to make this his final shot. And when it flew, boy how it flew, with a rip that sent shivers down his spine he heard the bulls eye get nailed, and shrieked with a cheer of joy, arms flung skywards. He wasn’t sure if he had gotten better or gin was just a good teacher but either way for the first time he properly felt like he’d taken a step forward. |

Ginjo arched a brow at the simple question that had a very complex answer as he rubbed his chin in thought before he would sip his drink once more. What was the best way to describe something that had so many branches, abilities, specialties and options? He could of course describe each form he supposed and their specific details and influence, but in the end that was far more likely to simply cause a few mental seizures and a hiccup or two- and just overload the fishman's brain. Slowly he pondered it, before he finally found a relatively solid answer to the fishman's question. "It's a unique power that all living things have dormant inside them." He began simply as he glanced to Gary a moment. "Most people go their entire lives without a clue; and don't even awaken it. To awaken it you must go through a emotional turmoil or near death experience- it awakens as a sort of defensive mechanism to help you fight off the despair or attacker. It has many powers, but its basically the ability to manifest your willpower and ambition into physical form." Slowly he rubbed his chin in thought; "What I was referring too is one of its abilities- you can master it enough so that you are able to sense others actions, and see what they are about to do before they even do it in your minds eye. We call it Premonition or Precognition." He explained this calmly as he took another sip of his drink, relaxing slowly into his chair after pulling it closer and examining how the snail-man fired and this time nailed it right where he aimed. Smiling and nodding firmly, "Very good Gary ... that's very good progress." He stated firmly before glancing over at the snail. "Are you ready for the next setting then Gary? There's plenty for you to do I think." he chuckled softly- after all a step forward meant that you could see the hundreds before you, and realize that each step you took didn't put you closer to a permanent end goal- it simply brought you that much closer to the concept and idea that you had a never-endng ladder to climb, to better yourself as days turned to months. |

Well that was easy, gary thought to himself at the brief summary. Though the idea that this guy might just be a nut job did return to him somewhat. Unique powers people had dormant inside them, he made it sound like everyone was a superhero from birth and they just didn’t know it, that was nutballs. Surely if everyone had a unique power they’d know about it, or else how would they ever get to use their unique power, duh! Man sometimes it was hard being the smartest person in the room. But despite his well deserved self pat on the back, it turned out there was astoundingly more to the explanation, much more, though it didn’t do much to testify towards gin’s sanity. ”eh?” his jaw dropping slack a little as he raised a skeptical eyebrow. An ability that awoke at a time of high tension or near death, that didn’t sound too bad, you heard all the time about people on the brink doing the impossible, presumably due to immense focus or a rush of adrenaline. But when he ventured into the territory of foresight, well that was when even gary’s gullibility’s would stretch no further. The was a brief awkward moment of silence as the snail man tried to work out how to reply in the least offensive manner, before with a start he burst into raucous laughter, clapping a hand to his gut. ”Hohoho! Good one teacher! You almost had me there, I get it pick on the new guy, he’ll believe anything. Well played, not bad at all!” wiping a tear from his eye he managed to simmer down, what a guy, he’d pegged gin for a smart dude but a prankster, that he had not seen coming. At the sound of praise in conjunction with his name the feelings of achievement washed over him again and he was once more a little drunk on his own accolades, filled with mirth. But his task was far from done, this was simply the first step in the right direction. ”Lets go for it!” he replied with conviction, he wasn’t going to be defeated yet. |
