Jack told them to follow him. They arrived at his room. " What do you want to know ? ", Jack asked sitting on the bed.
" We know you let them escape and We want to know why ", Ain. " So ", Leo asked as binz was silent. Jack repeated their story again and told his conversation with Z.
" What if they come again ? ", Ain asked him. "No , they won't. They promised me and I don't think teacher Z has only one enemy ", the three got surprised hearing it.
Ain and Binz left the room. Leo sigh and got to his bed. " Hey , take this ", Jack gave him that devil fruit. Leo was shocked ; " So, you took this as compensation ", Leo was because he knew Jack.
" I love you, man ", Leo ; " I am straight ", Jack said. " What did you think me then ? ", Jack shrugged his shoulders. Leo didn't said anything as he is focused on devil fruit.
Leo face changed as he took a bite. " You will get more powers if you eat whole fruit ", Jack said seriously. Leo throw the fruit on his face. Leo whole body changed as he used his power.
His body turned black while his face changed into a cat. His turned into a big black cat with yellow eyes. " Its cat- cat fruit panther model ", Jack informed Leo. Leo turned back to normal, " I thought it would be something else", he cursed.
" Don't think it is waste ", Jack then explained to him about the advantages of a zoan fruit. Leo listened to it and said that he will master the Rokushiki.
==================================
They arrived at Marineford, Jack went to dorm as he expand his senses like everyday. " What are taking, Sakazuki you want to go there ? ", Sengoku was yelling at him.
" Yes, I want to eliminate them personally. I heard they are going to overthrow a Kingdom. Give me permission ", Akainu asked him. Sengoku is about to retort, he sensed a presence; " Who is there ? ". Jack withdraw his haki after that.
Jack was scared because of it. But he kept calm as he need to inform this to dragon. If his guess is correct it is related to him.
Jack arrived at rooftop to make a call. " Is it true that you are going after a kingdom ? ", jack used the code. " Who told you ? ", Dragon asked him. Jack sighed , " Akainu is arguing with Sengoku about it. There seem to be an agent in your group ", Jack told him and warned him.
" I will investigate it ", Dragon. " If you are planning to go , it seem more than half of cipher pol is going , be careful ", Jack suggested, " Ok ".
==================================
Jack was practising Rokushiki when Z arrived. He saw him , " What is it teacher ? ", Jack asked Z. " It will take one year for you to graduate, I will help you improving haki ".
" Teacher, you want to help me or you want to move your muscles ", Jack asked. Z laughed , "Don't use devil fruit powers , kid ". Jack laughed at him, it took a month for Z to calm his agitation before he talked to Jack.
At first , Jack was beaten black and blue. The gap was large between their haki and physical strength. Jack was not able to keep up with him. After 3 months it got more intense as Z was getting back to his prime.
All recruits are practising with more intent seeing them. Binz focused more on sword at this time. Leo is trying to master rokushiki keeping his panther form.
It become more powerful and easy to master. Ain is sharping her shooting skills while increasing her speed. Z told them a news that he is cancelling group mission. He doesn't want to risk their lives because of him.
Some were confused while some understood. He explained to Sengoku and others about the previous incident and some may come for him as it will put recruits into danger. Z suggested them to form teams to do missions.
Sengoku, Garp, Tsura , all the admirals and vice admirals who were under Z teachings were present at that time. They didn't said anything as Sengoku approved it. Recruits were present at that time were amazed seeing them.
Sengoku called Jack in private. " When will you apply for graduation ? ", he asked him. Beside him were Garp and Tsura are present. Garp was eating snacks but Tsura is paying close attention at him.
" At the third year, Sir ", Sengoku nods and sent him away. Sengoku sighed , " He really do what he wants, just like you garp ", he got angry at Garp.
Garp laughed. " He has sly character. Not like Garp who does whatever he wants ", Tsura said to them.
====================================
Jack increase his physical strength at morning, improve his doriki level till lunch. He fight with Z on evening, he also try to feel the state when he was fighting fang group.
He was able to change lighting into solid form at that time. He want to do that. After few months he was able to maintain that state for few minutes which depletes his whole stamina.
His strength increased during these 9 months of fighting with Z. He went to next stage in armament haki ; Z didn't use advanced haki to fight with him.
Its been 4 years since Jack started as a recruit. He can apply for graduation. Jack strength after training session with Z has increased tremendously.
He can compete with any Vice admiral out there without using his devil fruit powers except Garp. If he use that he may fight Admirals for a while.
