Thankfully, it appears that the Domain seems to be able to restore fatigue as soon as you step into it. If I didn't have it I might not be able to walk at this point. I suppose the more I use Haki the more I'll get used to the extreme fatigues. What is curious is why Luffy is still aside me, considering the fact that I've been in the Domain training Haki for a few hours, seeing as people think I fainted from over-exerting myself... which is sort of true. Luffy has no reason to be here yet he's still here. He's not being counter-productive, in fact he's training himself. I suppose he may have realised that it's an opportune time to train in here without any issues.

However, after seeing the guy in person I doubt he would actually think like that. So, in other words it probably has something to do with wanting to be as strong as his twin brother. While I certainly have no qualms it might get irritating later on. Okay, I think I've improved quite a bit in terms of using Haki in these past few hours, I noticed that while I had a lot of control and certainly a lot of power, I had the issue of the power not being able to be concentrated, so in other words there would be layers which had some Haki however it would just be multiple layers upon layers and it was never concentrated. I think I have improved slightly, the concentration effect now allows me to use less layer and be stronger with those less layers.

I suppose now would be an ideal moment to go out and address the situation.

"Luffy, I'm going to head out, gonna watch?" I inquired, it was clear that with the use of my Haki I was able to give Luffy experience and even make him into a warrior without ever heading into a battle. That is also interesting... I somehow have combat experience. A lot of the attacks I made on the bandits were based on techniques that I somehow knew. So in other words I might have been a fighter of sorts in my previous existence.

"I'm gonna train and beat you, Mugiwara!" I suppose that's a no, I guess either way he gets stronger.

I had awoken! Finally, it was getting stuffy in there. Oh, it appears that I'm being dragged by Garp, so it's at that point in the story, huh? I'm lucky although, because I still have the straw hat! I took a gamble with that fight, I wanted to test the limits of my Haki and also I did forcefully take the straw hat from his head so I did have a pretty big case against him taking the hat away from me. I suppose I earned it in some way, right?

"What happened?" I questioned Garp, there was an odd sneer which he made, I figured it was normal of him to do such a thing.

"So, you had the balls to take on a group of bandits and win? Only to faint after? You're too much of a weakling!" Well, since I'm progressing onto the part where I get to meet Sabo and Ace, I should probably let some facts progress in this. For starters, Sabo being thought dead is probably one of the big things, he ends up being part of the revolutionary army and even one of the stronger characters later on which is important. Then there's Ace, as far as I'm concerned I need to spend more time thinking about my options with him.

In the current moment, there's one thing I want to attempt, it's to improve my physical capabilities and to reduce fatigue from Haki.

Fighting Garp. I know it sounds silly, but at this point my Haki should be able to do some damage. I didn't get to use all of it during the bandit fight and I need to fully test it out on someone who is strong.

"Hey, oldie, what do you say to a fight?" I challenged him, there was a chuckling as he let me go on the ground, before turning around and smirking at me.

"Do you want to die, brat? Here, I'll give you my fist of love!" Well, I did get what I wanted but it was in the worst way I could possibly imagine. Well, guess I should start right here!

I wore my Haki around my arm, with the slight improvements of the concentration effect the Haki is invisible yet stronger! Guess I'll get to see where the strength of my Haki lies! Garp came at me with his fist, I had to angle myself in just the right position and throw my fist at his when it came close. I had managed to hit it! Yet, both of us just stood there, Garp's expression had changed to shocked yet he smirked! His fist had hardened with Haki, that was exceptionally dangerous so I hadn't wasted any time hardening my Haki as well.

It was quite a quick battle simply because... well... Garp was the one who lost in the clash. It appears that my Haki is quite strong, I haven't even trained it that much yet its already at such a level. I suppose training it will make it a force to be reckoned with and that's something I require.

"Ahahaha! This is a surprise, I see how you beat those bandits and why you fainted now! Where did you learn to use Haki from? Did the red-head teach you?" Garp certainly is knowledgeable and his judgement seems to be right on the spot. However if he knew truly then perhaps things would be different.

"Who knows?" I retorted, in the end Garp got up and picked me up as well. He dangled me, walking in the opposite direction of where we were going. I think something's definitely wrong here. "Hey, oldie, where are we going?"

"It's Grandpa, you brat!" Garp is very sensitive about that, isn't he? "It's clear you won't learn anything from there now. Since you have Haki it's best that you learn to train it to become a strong marine!"

Oh shit, I didn't expect this. If I had just shut up I suppose I would've ended up in that weird place with Dadan and meet both Ace and Sabo. It looks like Garp is going to train me himself without their help. I can already train Haki on my own and very efficiently at that, I've already gotten stronger than Garp in just three days with it. I can't exactly tell him that, can I? It will expose a lot and I will probably be thrown into somewhere worse.

"Don't want to." I lazily spoke, despite not meeting anyone today, I think I can still progress it in a different way, not to mention I also get some better way to practice Kenbunshoku Haki with Garp.

"What? You dare deny your grandfather?" He dangled me even more roughly than before, I kind of expected such a response.

A/N:

While posting this, I'm making chapter six! In that one Ace is finally met!

However due to the twists, it will be... very different.

:P
