One Piece: Starting from Awakening the Cosmo at Marineford

As Aaron felt the immense hardness of the bear's wrist, he was struck by the four bear paw bubbles.

The shockwave passed through his chest and landed on the ground, creating several deep craters.

Aaron landed back on the ground, clutching his chest: "Pressure Cannon! No wonder it's the Paw-Paw Fruit; that shockwave really hurt my internal organs!"

Aaron had just stood up when a shadow fell over him again.

The bear was already in front of him, pressing down with its right palm.

"shave!"

Aaron's figure flashed and he was already dozens of meters away.

But the bear followed closely, maintaining its previous posture.

Without any apparent change in his movements, he fired another pressure cannon shot.

With a loud "boom," several more deep craters appeared in the ground.

Aaron dodged the attack, but began to wonder. At twice the speed of sound, he didn't seem to have the advantage against the bear.

Kuma's speed is top-tier in the entire One Piece world; it can be said to have reached the level of teleportation.

Moreover, his palm strike can send a person flying for three days and three nights. This power is enough to make his own movement speed far exceed the speed of sound.

Aaron wiped his mouth and grinned, "Again!"

Aaron wanted to use the bear to hone and improve his physical skills, and accumulate combat experience and techniques.

Of course, one should also train in Armament Haki and Observation Haki.

He didn't use the Phoenix Star techniques or the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's abilities; he simply attacked and responded with ordinary punches and kicks.

However, Kuma was unaware of this. The power of the Paw-Paw Fruit, as well as the laser beams emitted from his mouth, caused Aaron a great deal of trouble.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but Aaron was covered in bruises and his clothes were tattered.

Aaron landed in a safe area: "That's enough for today. I need to eat something good to make up for this beating tonight."

Since Big Bear couldn't sense Aaron's intention to attack the Thousand Sunny, he didn't pursue it any further and went back to where he had been sitting, sitting down again.

Lark and Finbuddy ran over from a distance and helped Aaron up on either side.

"Senior Aaron, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, just a little sore. Big Bear was really rough with his hands..."

They endured hardship, but the rewards were equally substantial.

Big Bear is experienced in combat, swift in action, and has extremely fast reflexes.

In just half a day, Aaron learned a lot of practical combat skills from him, which can be considered as learning by stealing his skills.

Fenbdi laughed and said, "Boss, Big Bear is a robot now, how can he know how to hold his ground? You're just asking for trouble."

Aaron said, "You just stood there watching without doing any training?"

"Boss," Finbdi said, "I was worried about you, how could I concentrate on training?"

Aaron thought for a moment and realized that he had been so eager to spar with Big Bear that he had forgotten to assign tasks to Finbdi.

"Okay. Let's finish eating first, and training will start tonight. I'll train with you."

Finbdi looked a little timid: "Boss, you mean practicing together, not sparring, right?"

Aaron chuckled: "Sparring? You want to?"

Fombard shook his head, leaving an afterimage: "Of course not! If you punch me, I'll lose half my life."

Aaron thought for a moment and said, "It's a bit far from the hotel street. How about we stay at the commoners' street at 31GR tomorrow? It's much closer to 44GR."

Lark and Finbuddy immediately agreed and returned to Hotel Street.

Aaron and the bear fought for half a day and were exhausted. After dinner, Aaron took a shower and went to bed early.

The next morning, after breakfast, the three packed their luggage, checked out of their hotel, and went to GR Street No. 31 to find a hotel to stay in.

Aaron led Lark and Fenbuddy to GR 43 and stood under the thick Yarchman mangrove.

Aaron said, "We've been using this tree as a punching bag to practice our punches while we're on the island. Finbdi, take your brass knuckles off."

"oh."

"You'll practice your punches like I do, against this tree trunk, with all your might. No Haki allowed, understand?"

Fempedee said with a pained expression, "I want to use it, but I need to know how to use it first..."

Aaron asked, "Skylark, do you want to practice together?"

Lark shook his head: "I'm a sniper, so I won't practice boxing. I'll go for a run instead."

Aaron said, "That's fine. But you have to be careful. Pirates will keep landing on Sabaody Archipelago, and you might run into them. Carry a gun and fire a warning shot if anything happens, and we'll rush over immediately."

Hibari chuckled and said, "Senior Aaron, don't worry, I can handle ordinary pirates."

Aaron said, "It's better to be careful. You can't get hurt, understand?"

Hibari blushed slightly and nodded shyly, "Thank you, Senior Aaron! I'm going for a run!"

Fombey, thinking he understood something, said, "Boss, you care so much about Hibari, huh? When are you going to care about me too?"

Aaron said, "Get out of here. If anything happens to Lark, I'm in big trouble."

Aaron was referring to Akainu's threats and warnings to him, which Finboudi clearly misunderstood.

He grinned lewdly, "Got it! Dating, I'm good at it. Back in the day in Donghai, I picked up countless girls... Boss, want me to teach you a few tricks? Oh, and want to learn to dance with me? Having a special skill is a huge advantage when it comes to picking up girls. I've even won a dance competition!"

Aaron snapped, "Get lost! Get back to practicing your punches! If you slack off even a little, I'll use you as a punching bag!"

Finbdi shrugged, stood in front of the tree trunk, assumed a fighting stance, and lightly threw a few punches.

Aaron said, "I told you, I'm going to use my full strength!"

"Boss, this tree is so hard, if you hit it hard, it will definitely hurt."

"Aren't you known as the Iron Fist?"

"It's just a nickname, not a real nickname."

"Start practicing now!"

Helpless, Finbdi practiced punching the tree trunk again and again.

Although he grimaced, twitched his eyebrows, and wrinkled his nose, his face contorted in pain, he didn't utter a single cry of pain.

Aaron, of course, did not slack off either.

The Yarchman mangrove is hundreds of meters thick and hundreds of meters tall. Together with its roots, it forms a small island, weighing much more than a large warship.

The wood is also incredibly sturdy, making it more effective for practicing boxing than using a warship.

After practicing for a few minutes, Finbdi stopped and sat on the ground to rest.

Aaron, however, seemed tireless and continued, each punch hitting the tree trunk making a "thud" sound.

Fenbdi listened to the rhythmic "thump, thump, thump..." sound, as if he were listening to someone playing drums.

After practicing for a while, he got up again and started practicing boxing in rhythm with Aaron.

After taking a few breaks, Lark returned from his run and practiced the Six Forms on the side, then went to practice his marksmanship.

Aaron tried several different rhythms, but he never stopped.

He didn't stop until noon to have lunch with Lark and Finbuddy.

After a one-hour rest following lunch, Aaron took the two to number 43 GR and had them continue practicing.

He then went to the 44 GR next door.

"Big Bear, I'm here again, please!"
