Serious: The demon in the land of justice!!!!

Seta then laughed back. He knew that he is not some small fry to just be talked liked that Oh really then? I think they would MUCH prefer me then some Marine Hero. I'm impressed actually that you are talking to me like that. But go ahead and leave, before you might get embarrassed yourself. . Seta laughed once again and sat on his chair. He then looked at Zen. Once again congratulations Zen. If you wish to continue your training, come see me at once after this.

"Well I guess working with that fool would be a pain in the ass" Zen said to Seta in a low voice as he sighed. After all, he did not want anyone else to hear him cursing the fleet admiral.

"And I want to start the next part of the training....I really need to improve the use of my devil fruit. So lets get this over with, and head back to the island that we were training on if that is OK with you"

Seta then looks at Zen. No. Train here first and improve your fighting abilites. It is the most thing needed.

((If you're wondering why Gael seems so out of character, Ranyx's semi-bipolarism has rubbed off on him. Plus the Last Resort fruit has long term effects as well.))

Gael was kneeling, and petting his animals. "Yeah, keep running your mouth, Marine. There is only one of you I respect in any way. You are not him. So don't tell me what to do." With that, he began smiling widely and hugging Figdra as Figdra accidently horked out Squil. "The whole family's here!" Gael said childishly.

"Train here with the marines you mean??" Zen asked in a shocked tone. After all, he hated the marines pretty much. Of course it was a rare thing for a pirate even if he was allied with the marines to stay in marinford for so long. Of course not mentioning that Zen knew well that the likes of him were not welcomed here even if they were fighting for the marines.

Seta then spoke in a serious manner. He knew what he said did really shocked Zen. But he had a plan after all. Of course I am serious. This is a test that will really improve your skills even if at the enemy base. Even Gael did this before didn't you Gael?

Gael replied in a mocking, singsong voice, "I have no recollection of that event." Yeah, he was really snarky right now: Zen's comment had pissed him off. He was currently snuggling up against Rirnef's fur... it was a wonder they were still bothering him.

A man in a modified Marine uniform was making his way towards the epicenter of commotion, and he looked like he was on a mission.

Seta laughed Oh you didn't remember hahaha. Seta then sats on his chair when he realized that a man was coming closer. He did not seen this person before Who might you be?

Zen was silent, but well he was obviously annoyed from Gael behavior and that was obvious on his face. After all, it seemed that Zen had met the person who was just right the opposite of him.

"Oh what is it now!??" Zen spoke in an annoyed tone as he looked at the marine who was walking toward them.

The Marine looked at Zen. Then flipped him off. With both hands, actually. "Screw off, scum. I'm not here to entertain you." He saluted respectfully to Seta, saying, "Apologies, sir. I need to... borrow someone." He strode over to Gael, grabbed him by the shoulder, and carelessly tossed the Shichibukai over his shoulder. By the look of things, and Gael's utter uncaring, it seemed like something that happened... often. "I need to talk to you privately, boy." The Marine growl to Gael, and he smiled and response. "Of course. I have something to share with you as well." All of Gael's animals got up and followed after the odd couple, with Peaba only stopping to squawk at Zen and fire several eletrically charged plumes at his feet. The tall Marine waded through the crowd that had gathered, outright throwing several people to the side as he made his way to a makeshift jail area. Seemed to be where he worked.

Seta then just looked at the Marine as he walked off with Gael. He then sighed and felt tired so he stood up and spoke to Zen Well Zen, I'll take a rest. You do too. We will start later okay? . He then started slowly walking away and spoke to a marine soldier. Kindly escort Zen to the guest room. Only the guest room okay? . The marine soldier saluted and went to Zen Sir, I'll escort you to your room

Zen was already angry fr.om that marine, and that Gael. However he was not surprised after all he knew well that from the he sat foot on marinford that his life would horrible.The thing that was even worst was the fact that he was going to live in marinford for awhile.

"Alright lets go"Zen said in a tired tone as he started to walk. He then sighed heavily.

It was really one heck of a day for him.

The Day had passed and someone entered Zen's room. Sir. Seta-sama has summoned you into the arena once again. . The marine was just a regular officer.

Zen was already awake when the officer got into the room. He quickly putted on his training shirt over his body as he headed outside pushing the marine officer that came to summon him in the process. He then quickly headed for the arena.


"Finally, I have been so eager to continue my training Seta!!" Zen spoke in a cold tone that was full of excitement which made him sound a little bit creepy.

Seta then looked serious as ever and then he yawned. He was bored. Seta removed his coat as always and spoke. Let us get this done over with. I am gonna teach you how to control your devil fruit. As we all know, you and I have the same properties in the sense of, Flame.. He then made a ball of magma. And I know you can do this. But can you shape it like this? . As he snaps his finger, A lave in a shape of a hound appeared before Zen. I first want you to make a ball of fire. But it must be a perfect sphere. . Seta then made a ball in his magma and made it so smooth that it is like a real ball. It takes great concentration my friend.

"Gah, Ti'ar. You know you just have to tell me you wanna talk!" Gael said with his arms crossed. "Heh, but it's just so much more fun that way," Ti'ar replied. "Well, Ti'ar, I have something for you... you might like it," Gael said, as Figdra regurgitated something else. Gael smiled as Ti'ar asked, "Oh god. What type is it?" Gael tossed it to Ti'ar, saying, "A special type of Zoan. I fed a town for a year for this thing." Ti'ar caught it and looked at it from every angle. "Are you sure it's fitting?" Gael nodded. "Oh, is it ever." Ti'ar grinned at Gael, and said, "You know, I haven't had my serving of fruit today..." He took the fruit and swallowed it instantly. He began shaking, and his hand went to his stomach. "Ugh... I don't feel well..." Ti'ar said as he began taking on the form of a wolfish creature, with the exception of being bipedal. "It's the Adlet model..." Ti'ar began laughing, feeling better, "Oh, ever so appropriate."

Zen listened to Seta carefully as he explained how to make balls and reshape them by using only your devil fruit powers.

Zen opened his fists as he lightened it up with flames. As soon as he did that he reshaped it into a ball, and then started to reshape it again till it took the form of a perfect sphere. Gladly, compared to the most powerful attack he used against Gale yesterday this was not that hard.

"I guess I am not that bad eh?" Zen said as he started to rotate the sphere in his palm.

Seta looked the sphere. He then laughed loud. Oh yes that is a perfect sphere all right. But it is just light and won't do some damage. Put a very large amount of fire and compress it really hard. . Seta then throws the ball of magma that made a part of the wall of the arena melt and explode in seconds. Marines then rushed in and shouted. We heard a huge explosion. Is everything all right Seta-sama? . Seta scratches his head. Sorry, I did that. Can you please find someone to fix the wall? .

Zen laughed slightly as Seta destroyed a part of the arena wall which made some of the marines soldiers rush in. However he quickly got back to concentrating on the sphere shape in front oh him. He then concentrated much more as the sphere got smaller, and heavier. Also as it got heavier controlling it was a bit hard.

Zen then made the sphere rotate really fast he then threw it in a very fast speed toward the wall causing an explosion.

"I guess by the time we finish the training the marines would no longer have any money left for reparations." Zen said as he laughed slightly. This was obviously not true, but well at least he knew that the marines were going to get pissed a lot. But after all Seta received his orders directly from the WG elders so he had quit the influence here.

Seta then just looked at Zen without any reaction at all. Well it took you a long time to make a precise ball. Well since you succeeded I will show you one of my mastered techniques. . Seta sighed and took a deep breath. He then suddenly shouted. Magma Dragon! . He raised both of his hands and created a large amount of magma and shoots in in the sky. It then slowly formed into a dragon with arms, fangs, everything. It was like a real dragon. Seta then snaps his fingers and the Magma disappeared. He then made a bird in his hand. But it was not moving. Try doing this with your hand. The circle was easy but this is a little difficult.

(samo, can you let Zen be sometimes hardened by what Seta can do. It seemed that Zen can do it perfectly in the first try. It seemed to be that training him would be pointless if he can do it easily. hope you understand)

(Oh Ok sorry about that I just thought that the first part would be easy for him to do)

"Hmm that dragon move was amazing I must say!" Zen spoke in an amazed tone as he once again created a flame, and reshaped it into a bird. Zen was able to create a bird, but it was missing a few things. A wing, a leg, and its head.

"Not bad for a crippled bird eh?" Zen said as he looked at the bird he formed using his controlling abilities.

(It is okay I understand. )

Seta then smiled at Zen. You will get your way. Try doing it again. But this time don't think of forming a bird. Think of a formed bird already. Visualize on what you can do. . Seta once again created a bird from his palm.

After Gael helped Ti'ar get ahold of his new abilities, Gael said, "Well, now... you'll have to try to avoid seawater. And don't eat anyone too much." Ti'ar returned to his human form. "I know... don't act like my mother." Gael grinned at him. "I have to. It's almost my job."

[Exit Gael and Ti'ar.]

Zen then closed his eyes after he listened to what Seta told him. He then visualized a hawk flying across the whole grandline freely. The hawk seemed to be very proud as all the other weaker birds got out his way.

Suddenly Zen opened his eyes as he formed a hawk made of fire. The figure's small features were not pretty clear but it seemed that he was finally able to do it.

"I guess this one is better isn't it?" Zen asked in a cold tone.

Rear Admiral Martello then announced to Ti'ar as he exited, "We have somewhere to be Ti'ar , i trust your business here is finished? We have a lot of work to do..." Martello had just received a very interesting task to do, and wanted to do it.
