Chapter 254 - Hone Like A Whetstone

The Second Night came and Went for the Red Sash Pirates. And in the Morning they Helped to see the Family off by heading South towards one of the Exits, where none other than Aponiv had a Small camp set up, helping make sure the Sightseers were safely seen out of the Jungle, taking a trolly system that went up and down the elevated land mass. 

The Start of the Third Day was Marked by Action yet again!

"Grand Sunflower Field Blossom"

Hands and Arms sprouted from the Ground while Raven held her hands up, using her Hana-Hana Fruit. The Large hands Gripped a dozen People from a surprisingly large group of people, close to 30 people all attempted to gang up on the Red Sash pirates. 

"Why the Hell are they coming for us!" Kirk questioned as he whipped his Steelamboon staff into the face of one of the Skyderians, the fighter easily falling to their back 

Spinning the Staff around his head and behind his back, he focused his thoughts, eyes closed for a moment as he visualized an effect he wished to occur, the capped tip of the Bamboo rod had a small spiral of wind formed. Then gripping tightly as he pulled it in front of him, the Spiral suddenly expand and shot forward at over a thousand miles an hour!

"Aero Breeze!" He shouted as the wind sheared through the ground, causing a deep trench to follow the blast of elemental power, sweep a group of four up into the air and spiraling for meters up! Only to fall harshly to the ground with grunts and groans of pain 

"Ha!" Kirk said gripping the staff in astonishment and amazement, he was a spur of them moment usage, attempting to properly use what he was taught in the heat of the moment 

"Shock Paw!" Dezzi yelled with confidence, bouncing and dashing from side the side a faster than sound speeds to slam their fist into the an opponent that wielded a limareel, trying to form a solid shield of hard stone like material, only for their Electro boosted fist smashed through the wall entirely and following through to shock the Fighter! Sending them flying backwards! "Electric Pulse!" 

"Who knows! But there sure are a lot of em!" Jeanne yelled back, trying to keep her wits about herself as he evaded a few club swings from a large Skyderian woman. 

"We are here to Train! And you guys would be the perfect whetstone!" Screamed the woman

"Yeah, but why? You guys don't have enemies!" Jeanne shouted

"Yeah, Sure!" Ripping the club upwards through the air, the fighter caused the Balstra to be ripped from Jeannes hands, the weapon soaring through the air! "But Honing one's self, Competition! It's all exhilarating!" 

'Shit!' Jeanne screams internally, the Woman raising the Large club over head, ready to bring it down with immense force! Only for at the last moment before contact, Jeanne Puffed into steam! Shooting upwards through the air, and reforming part of her body to stay light enough and stay a float mid air! Catching the Balstra and aiming down!

"Bola!" She screamed and shot the large weapon! From the end a bol, a Thick rope with weights on either end meant to wrap around a target, fired from the end! 'This was a hard one to make, had to make sure that the internal rail was strong enough that it didn't get shot clumped up!' 

The Bola successfully left the Weapon, and splayed out! Spinning through the air before wrapping harshly around the Fighter! Causing her to lose grip of her weapon and be sent reeling to the ground. 

Landing, Jeanne gave a slight smirk, sticking her tongue out and winking "You know under other circumstances I'd maybe want to take you out a different way~!"

The Comment made the Woman blush 

As for Leroy, Noir, and Kále. They all sat near the supplies that were currently on the Ground. Awaiting to be rebuilt and carried by Raven. They were far too strong for ordinary fighters like these. And honestly was partially bored by the lack of Excitement. 

"A bit of a waste of time to just hop around fighting these guys" Leroy said in a bored tone, letting his head fall back while he rested on his hands 

"Yeah. A bit." Kále yawned slightly resting against a tree. 

"Oi, here." Noir tapped Leroys shoulder with a small bag of snacks

"O!" Leroy squeaked out, quickly snatching the bag who gave a grimace, opening an eye to glare at him "Watch it shithead…"

Noir tossed out a small towel to sit on, keeping his fine clothes clean, and taking out a pack of cigarettes, mouthing one of the full white sticks, and flicking open a silver and gold fighter that held a mosaic image of a woman embedded with rhinestones across it, producing a amber flame to burn the end. 

"Phew~" Noir breathed the grey fumes. 

"This is really getting to be a bore…Why dont we just go to the plains for-" Leroy was suddenly cut off from a yell above the trees, a winged small short man with a weapon attempting to strike at Leroy! 

"Some real action!" Leroy continued none the less as he was suddenly sitting on top of the man, face swollen. In the mere fraction of a second, he'd delivered a punch and sat back down! 

"Hopefully they'll offer more than these guys." He said, crossing his arms as the Scout bird cawed. Announcing that all enemies in the area were defeated.
