Chapter 8: Chapter 7: Plans and More Training
Ace seeing that everyone is starting to wake up tells Capone to explain everything to the crew and that he will be waiting in the captains' room on the ship. Capone nods his head and starts to explain the situation that had just gone down to his newly awakened subordinates. The orders given to them by Capone stated that they were all now working for the man that they all had just attacked and lost to and that they were also relay the message to the others that were to awaken soon as well. Finishing doing what Ace had told him, Capone walked onto the ship that was previously his and made his way into the captains quarters and informed his new boss that the task that was assigned to him was accomplished and that there should not be any more problems from his crew.
Ace hearing the good news motioned for Capone to take a seat on the other side of the des so they could discuss important plans and matters. When Capone took his seat Ace started to ask him for information about the crew he came here with and how long he was planning to stay before they were going to head back to where they had just come from. Ace hearing that they were only going to stay at most 6 months in order to get there secret stronghold built made him think on whether or not if they should stay here for the full three years or journey when the six months came to a close. Aced thought in silence for a few minutes before deciding why not do both. Capone hearing Aces idea made him confused and pondered if his captain had hit his head on the way here or was actually being serious.
Ace proceeded to ask how long it would take for members of his crew that were still inside Capone thanks to his "castle castle" fruit to head back to where they came from and come back to this island while Capone and the 300 elite members stayed and trained with Ace to become stronger. Capone thinking for a few seconds responded saying that at most with only a few hiccups about 6 months to a full year depending or not if they had to do anything else when they got back to their main base. Ace surprisingly seemed quite satisfied with what he had heard from Capone and told him to let the people inside him prepare to sail back in a few days so they could stock up on food from the island. He also told Capone to inform his crew that was going to be sailing back that when they returned to inform all of the organizations to use all of their available resources to fully focus on finding and acquiring both devil fruits of all kinds and information on a select group of individuals, also that when everything was running smoothly and efficiently at the main base, that they were to sail back to the island that Capone was on so they may also begin their own training.
Capone surprised by his captains' request decided it was best not to know what exactly all he was planning and just did as he was told down to the letter. As the days passed and the crew of Capone's men had stocked up on enough meats and fruits from the island for their journey back to their base, Ace was making himself familiar with the 300 supposed elites of his new crew who all seemed well disciplined and respectful not only for him being frightfully stronger than them but also because he gave off the aura of a naturally born ruler. As the day finally had come for the men to head back to accomplish their mission Ace, Capone, and the 300 elites stood and waved goodbye to the men who were going off to help Ace accomplish his goal of not only building his crew but also laying the foundation of his empire even if they did not know it yet.
As the ship finally sailed out of sight Ace turned around to face the rest of his crew that were tasked with the job to stay on the island and do their own hell training. Ace then broke off the men into their own separate squads to train together and so that their teamwork would become stronger. Ace then spoke to every one of the groups to explain what training they would be trying to do and what he expected by a certain deadline or their training would be increased and food would be taken away from them as well until they had caught up with the rest of the men. While Ace was speaking to all the men about their training Capone was the one actually coming up with the training regimen since Ace had said that he was too lazy to worry about the small details and Capone was also figuring out the schedule of the crew down to the last second such as eating, cooking, sparring, and the monthly tournaments that would be used to reward the strongest of the squads and light a fire under the others to make them want to work and train even harder.
As the day was finally coming to an end and the squads had finished setting up their own separate camps, Capone was waiting for Ace in the cave that Ace had been living in for the last 5 years. When Ace had finally arrived Capone was sitting on a barrel of gin while smoking on a cigar waiting in silence as if he was in deep thought. Ace walked up to Capone and placed his hand on his shoulder asking him if he was okay, only then did Capone snap out of his contemplation. Ace explained to Capone that the reason the two of them were so far away from the rest of the crew is so that they were gonna be discussing something that was important for the survival of his men and Capone himself. When Capone heard this he became very intrigued about what the topic of the subject was going to be. Ace started to explain to Capone on what haki was and what all it was all capable of. Capone was surprised that Ace had told him what haki was in great detail that even the simplest of idiots could figure it out, he also explained to him what all it was capable of such as defending yourself from being hurt, increasing your attacks, and if one of your haki's was strong enough someone could use it to see into the future.
Ace then explained to Capone that for the next three years that himself included were going to be training to make their bodies stronger, awakening everyone's armament haki and if they had enough time everyone's observation haki as well. Then Ace continued to tell Capone that them two would be training partners working together to not only strengthen their haki but also their own devil fruits. As the sun was finally setting on today Ace was looking forward to what all could happen in the next three years after everyone's training and what all he would do when they finally left this island to conquer the seas and for him to become the emperor of this world.
