Gin glanced at the Fishman, whom began to laugh and giggle to himself thinking it a joke and simply closed an eye in a bit of a uncaring way. "Perhaps we'll awaken it in you so you'll understand. Depends how far you really want the training to go." he stated simply as he stretched- "Still. My Haki is still to weak for my to justify training anyone in it just yet ... as I doubt you have the kings soul or this would likely be much easier." he mused to himself as he reached over and grasped one of the many rounds that were on the counter for the use of the guns, tossing it up and down slowly in consideration on how to show Gary what he meant. After a few moments he hopped over the edge of the shooting range and walked out onto the field. "Since you're ready for the next tier and I think showing you this is important- as it's key to anyone whom wishes to enter the Grand Lines growth really; I'll be your new target. I'll be using Haki in the forms that I can currently utilize to ether block, or dodge. Don't worry about hurting me." he stated calmly as he started to unbutton his lab-coat, as well as his sash that supported the blade- placing them against the wall as he would slowly relax- tossing his gloves to the side as he rubbed his wrist, the lack-of clothing revealing that for one so young he was covered in a multitude of brutal scar's. Specifically the fact he was lacking fingernails- and not in some odd birth defect, the scars were obvious from having them split and slowly yanked out from torture methods. Burn scars covered his right arm making the skin dark red and rough, however he didn't even mention them as he instead just rolled his shoulders and loosened up a bit. "Fire when ready, Gary." he stated- closing his eyes calmly as his Haki reached out and entered the will of the snail-man, feeling what he was about to do, where he was going to aim, how he was going to fire, his breathing and movements- everything was used as he kept his hands calmly at his side and waited for the bullets to come. |

Despite gary applauding the jest gin didn’t seem to share in his mirth, perhaps trying to fool him further still with this stony faced façade. But rather than admit his jest instead he seemed to seriously be suggesting these abiltiies were possible, and that gary might even achieve them during his stay there. ”Well yeh, of course that’d be real nice wouldn’t it” he scoffed absentmindedly determined not to be caught in this deceitful snare, the kings soul didn’t make much sense to him nor did he know just what it was it would make easier and yet still he managed to feel a little short changed that he wasn’t getting this easy acess option, even if it was silly and made up. Though garys disbelief only served to make what came next stretch even further beyond reason. Gin was insance, certifiable if anything, he wanted to dodge bullets; right then and blooder there he was going to stand in the middle of the firing range while gary shot at him and simply “block or avoid” the bullets. That was fucking nuts, there was no lesson that was worth that to teach. How you gonna be this crazy cracker!? This guy thought he was Nemo in that one film about fish that were used as battery’s by seaking robots. Well either way gary couldn’t be responsible for killing a marine, that was freaking nutballs. He’d only just made it here, last thing he needed was to be getting charged as a killer or grievous bodily harm or assaulting a human or any of the infinite crimes someone of his species could get pinned on him by someone of theres. Oh god, oh god oh god, this was the end, this was where it was all over. ”I can’t, I I I mean I couldn’t , no wait I won’t?” could he tell the guy no, so far he’d been almost entirely in chage. He didn’t want to but he had to, it was an order right? But if he killed him it was his head on the chopping block, but he’d already agreed to let this guy teach him so if it was like that then there was no other option, but if it all went pair shaped he was gonna lose his head. With doubt and confusion filling his mind gary became ever more flustered before in a fit of despair he simply took the options out of the equation and let off a shot from the gun at his back, firing it at the marines head. |

Ginjo calmly waited as he watched Gary scoff and seem incredibly conflicted and confused at the prospect that Gin wanted him to fire at him. As such he simply waited as the snail man seemed to try to figure out what to do with his internal conflict- crossing his arms calmly over his chest as he kept his eyes closed. Finally he felt the fishmans panic peak as the shot was fired, his Haki allowing him to "feel" where the gun was pointed right before he pulled the trigger- and with easily moved his head a few inches to the side as the bullet shot past him and thudded into the wall behind him instead of taking a chunk of grey matter and bone into the wall behind him. As he dodged his words were calm and clear right after the sound of the bullet going off; "Head shot, aimed at the right side of the frontal lobe." As he dodged to the left with his head- afterward slowly he opened his eyes, "Precognition, though mine is still average at best. The first-half of Observation Haki." He stated simply as he watched the fishman before he then would motion with his hand, "Continue. I don't think it's gotten through to you that no matter how many times you fire a gun, if you don't have things to support it it's useless." he stated this not in an offensive tone, but in one that was trying to get the point across to the snail-man. He would patiently wait for Gary to recover (and likely realize Gin may not die from him firing at him) before he would wait for the sound once more as the bullet shot toward him- this time Gin raised the hand that was covered in burns and caught the bullet out of the air itself through visualization once more of his Haki- but instead of blasting a hole through his skin, Gin slowly opened his hand to reveal the crumpled-up bullet that looked like it had hit a suit of armor then it had flesh and bone, his hand completely fine. "Armament Haki- once again mine is average at best- but still quite useful for dealing with things like this. It even can cover your eyes and other such things." He explained calmly as he watched the snail-man for his reaction to finding out- guns weren't a guaranteed 'It will kill/hurt them if it hits' here in the grand line. Techniques Used Upgraded Stats

Absurd didn’t even begin to describe it, if he didn’t know better he would have sworn he was simply watching the previews of a comic book movie. In fact he even pinched, or came as close to pinching as his soft pudgy hands could manage, his cheeks just to ensure he was awake. Which he was, but that did nothing to alleviate the insanity of the situation. He dodged it, he freaking dodged it. In fact no, he didn’t dodge it, that was really underselling what just happened. He told gary where the bullet was going before it even went, then simply moved his body out of the area. What the fuck was that about? That was freaking future sight, he was stood in front of a real live oracle….a fucking oracle. THIS GUY COULD PREDICT THE FUTURE PEOPLE, WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU NOT MORE EXCITED ABOUT THIS?!?! There should be camera crews, tv trucks, crowds outside, this is fucking nutballs. But even more ridiculous was that the man had called this a skill anyone could learn, surely not? There was no way that was true right? Why wasn’t everyone predicting the future? What did anyone ever get hit with bullets? Why were there even guns?!?! In the slew of excited thoughts he began to venture further off track and it was only the sound of his teachers voice that brought him back to focus. At the request to continue firing he didn’t even hesitate this time, any reluctance he might have had at the idea of possibly killing the man completely outweighed by his curiosity towards the limits of this ability. And yet try as he might not a single bloody bullet hit, he simply slipped his body from their path every time, this was insane. Yet as if that wasn’t weird enough things only continued to increase in their outlandishness. One of gin’s hands turning dark as night he flicked it up into a bullets path and snatched it from the air, though instead of having a hole neatly blown through the flew he opened it to reveal the battered remains of the round. It looked as though it had hit a wall, that black shit couldn’t be any less hard than a coating of metal. What the fuck was this supposed to be. Armament and observation haki, the words still sounded weird just to consider and yet their abilities were evident and stupidly useful, why didn’t he have this and more to the point how did he change that in as short a time span as possible? ”I mean…..but it should’ve…..then your hand.” he muttered the malformed sentence to himself as he tried to wrap his head around what he’d seen, but it still was senseless, even if he had seen it with his own eyes he couldn’t’ understand it. |

Gary was confused. Gary was very confused- to be fair everyone that first learned of Haki was confused; it didn't really sound right. If he had not grown up around a Kings user in the form of his father he would likely have been the exact same way. Instead of saying something Gin simply nodded- satisfied Gary understood this was not some bullhocky; it was an actual ability- a very useful one at that. Moving forward he would toss the bullet to the side as the darkness of his skin faded and he simply watched Gary instead as he slid his hands back into his pockets. He let Gary try to wrap his head around it before he would try to explain as best he could. "Think of it like this; you have an energy inside you- every living thing does. Some people call it a soul, chi, so on so forth. Normally it just sits there- but in some people with a strong willpower, determination, or ambition- that then suffer a life or death instance; their simple "chi" becomes "haki"." He raised a fist as he said chi, and it opened into a hand as he said Haki to signify the evolution. "Chi is just energy- but Haki lets you control that energy into something greater. It lets you use it to augment your body, to feel the energy of others and sense their motives and actions. It's something anyone -can- achieve. It doesn't mean it's something everyone -will or has- achieve. Understand?" He explained it once more as he tucked his hand into his pocket. "Now- it does not mean your gun is useless. It means you need to learn to counter that; it doesn't let me see years into the future. It's your next action, maybe next few actions at the most. Even masters can only get a handful of possible actions. So- the two ways to counter this is to awaken your Haki yourself ... or; to learn to be unpredictable and gain experience to have to many options that you choose at the last second while keeping up. It's difficult. Not impossible." Smiling a bit he would raise a hand as if to signal for Gary to continue as he meandered back toward the center of the shooting range; "So with that in mind ... we'll continue using me as the target. The only way you'll get better is if your faced with an opponent that can do this." |

Well that was….something. It seemed even with a multitude of bullets flying his way the man still had minimal trouble evading them, with no so much as a wound to his body. There was somewhat of an urge for gary to start firing his gatling gun in the man’s direction but he thought better of that particular inclination, he didn’t want to press his murderless streak too far and end up tarnishing a flawless record. Well flawless for today at least. It still didn’t make sense, but there was no denying it produced tangible effects and therefore had to exist, even if it did appear plucked straight from a comic book. With a gleeful expression gary clapped his hands excitedly my like a hyperactive schoolgirl spotting their crush. That, he wanted that, and he could have it, not right now but he could. He’d found out something really interesting, super grade A intel. The explanation sounded like it had been pulled direct from some flashy kung fu movie and yet at a man of science he couldn’t deny something he had witnessed with his own eyes. It had been shown multiple times over that the body emitted energy of different wavelengths naturally, but to focus and manipulate that energy defied science, it was absurd, it was….intriguing. It seemed he was going to get his first opportunity to experiment with the ability very soon, right now even, though he wasn’t entirely sure how he felt about it. He’d barely been able to hit a moving target, now he was supposed to hit a guy who could see the future? What the hell was this? That said, his intrigue did call to him to push at this ability and test it’s limits, and when he had such a willing participant how could he refuse? If he could only see his next action, or the one after then all he had to do was be quicker than the guy could processs the input, buuuuuut that wasn’t really an option given the disparate nature of their species and general physical capabiltiies. So the other option was being unpredictable, but that wasn’t great either, he could barely manage to do what he wanted to do while thinking his actions through entirely, let alone without. Well in that case he could always try to overwhelm the man, lets see how he dealt with more than one rifle. With a series of mechanical joints moving 3 rifles clicked into place after extending from within his shell, aiming themselves at Gin before firing though not always in unison, they fired with unsteady pattern sometimes simultaneously and sometimes disjointed in an effort to throw him off, he’d be satisfied when there was blood! |

He seemed to have finally settled on the realization that it was serious and he wasn't lying to him- that was good. Stretching a bit he would wait and arched a brow as the three rifles rose up- though he had already taught him previously that the more guns he had the less accurate he was. Still he understood the thought process and as such let it be; as the guns leveled on him once more his Haki again reached out- he saw the patterns of the first two. The last one was less easy, his Haki was hardly perfect after all but it was enough- the ability to perceive the actions before it could totally take it over was what pushed it over the edge and allowed him to easily begin to once more flow from left to right his eyes flickering over the multitude of paths. His movements would sway from left to right, relying on only his Haki as the bullets pattered around him- the third bullet would always nearly graze him before missing and flying past him anyway as he smoothly danced circles around them all. He didn't appear overly concerned- in fact it seemed the opposite was true as if he knew that for now at least Gary wouldn't land a hit, the bullets were faster then he was but it didn't matter as he could dodge where they were before Gary knew where they would go. Still he could tell he was certainly getting rusty- the motions were difficult for him to remember flawlessly as they shot around him and caused him to occasionally cut it just a bit to close. He supposed it made sense, the only good fight he had delft with was Kaine and even that had been easy after he had used his Kings Haki. In the end he supposed he was rather limited; he hadn't been training much and instead had focused on his development- and now it was showing. This was good for him as well as Gary in the end- real training would help shake the rust off and get back into the swing of dealing with true combat once more. After dodging the bullets for several hours, basically until he measured Gary's much lighter stamina to start to give way- he would finally relax and roll his shoulders a bit- raising a hand with a simple smile. "You did well Gary. I could feel the change in pace near the end; your getting used to it and we'll do more tomorrow." He nodded a bit before he would gather his things once more and notice he was sweating a bit and grin- "I forgot what it was like to actually train ... heh." He shook his head in amusement at himself before glancing at the snail-man. "Alright. How does dinner sound, Gary? I'll introduce you to everyone else that works in the labs here with us."

Gary fired his round but increasing the number of guns did not bring him success, on the contrary gin continued to move his body in ways that defied logic and was able to evade even a barrage of increased number. The ability was strange, alien even but it apparently wouldn’t be bested by such rudimentary tactics, which if anything was a positive since it meant the potential of this psycic aptitude extended further than he would have dared expect. Though it wasn’t just the ability itself that was surprising, the marine’s endurance in using it was nothing to scoff at either, by the time they finally brought their session to a close he felt like he’d expended more ammo than he would have ever been able to count, and yet there was not a scratch on him. It was actually a little scary if anything, the world was hiding some really weird and wonderful things, things he would have never found if he’d remained cooped up in the lab. Smiling at the encouragement he retracted his weapons once more, and with a grin nodded emphatically at the proposal for food. He was hungry, hungrier than he’d been in a long while actually. He felt drained, fatigued and everything in between. He’d not pushed himself that far in a long time, a in fact the last time he had it had been directly due to his life being on the line and had involved a large degree more running and screaming. Though he couldn’t say being tired for other reasons wasn’t nice. It had been a really rather productive day, it was hard to believe that he had only arrived on the island that morning knowing no one and with no real goal ahead of him. Now he felt like he had purpose and direction, and they felt as natural as though he had been aiming for them all his life. It was nice. Now all that was left was to see just how far he could progress with it. |

Ginjo grinned a bit as he would wipe the sweat off his brow and arms as he stretched and meandered back to his seat, turning everything off before he would finally meander toward the main door alongside Gary. He glanced at Gary a moment before his eyes slowly traveled back toward the main room- it was interesting; this was a feeling that he had given up on. Satisfaction? He frowned as he walked, hands in his pockets before he hopped up and tossed his jacket on over his arm- he thought this would just be another training regimen to help out some new people entering the Grand Line. But Gary's innocence and amazement was rubbing off on him a bit- he was almost happy to a degree with the training. Perhaps what he needed was a fresh start after all- he was sure Gary would part ways eventually when the contract was over; or perhaps he would stay here to take the lab over after all and Gin would move on to bigger things that aligned with his goals. But no matter what the choice was that he made- he felt resigned to this. Just this one last time he would try to keep himself hopeful that his relationship with his student would end on a good foot and not a bad one like all the rest. Perhaps if he managed to do it right this time he would be able to wipe away the guilt that he felt over Haruka, Raven, Thomas, Kendric ... and so many more. Rubbing his face he shrugged the thoughts off- only time would tell; no use worrying over it. Instead he grinned down at the fishman; "Alright, so a mini-tour. Down here in the labs we have four main sections ..." He would give Gary the full tour, showing the fishman his new home- the cafeteria, the bio-lab, the weaponry and item smithy and lab they had just been, and the cybernetics lab. After he led him into the cafeteria and began to introduce him to the other scientists, some were oddballs, and some were a bit "mad scientist" like but all were fairly good hearted and there were one of all races. Fishmen, Humans, Part-Giants, even a Devil Fruit user that had what seemed like the most useless ability to be a "orb man" and transform into a giant ball. The dark skinned young man watched them all interact over his coffee and meal with a slight smile- almost sad but not quite. He supposed he had to let it go- In the end, Gin would give his energy one last time- and maybe it would work out right this time around. Thread Completed |

Gin: 26 SD and 13,000,000 beli Gary: 25 SD and 12500,000 beli Not much to say here really as this was sort of just a chill sl. The only thing I have to really say is that gary is weird... not a Vack creation level of weird but still. Anyway the sl genuinely amused me so i'm giving you guys a small token gift. You both get a paper airplane that can travel anywhere in the world by magic flight that somehow is not stopped and somehow lets whoever they throw it to receive the message written on it almost immediately after no matter where they are in the world. That person can also immediately show up as well as by magic. That person unless they're joining you in future sls will have to be transported back then to where they came from. They get one throw ever before they're lost in the wind. Edited by Darkhunter, Apr 1 2015, 05:41 PM.
