Chapter 35: Temporary Training Partner

Chapter 35: Temporary Training Partner

_________ POV Narration_________

The sadistic smile didn't last long though, as Charlotte Oven looked down at the clouds below him with a frustrated gaze.

'If I kill him now... How do I get down alive? I don't even know how he steers this stupid ship...'

The prideful member of the Big Mom Pirates didn't even stop to consider that he wouldn't be able to handle fighting the Rear Admiral tasked with steering him home.

'I could likely steer this ship to the closes island if we were on the sea, but I'm not even sure if this stupid thing can float on water!'

Enel looked at his prisoner with a calm smile.

"I know you're thinking about the logistics of killing me right now..." Enel said as he squinted his eyes a bit and crossed his legs.

"I'll let you know, even if you try... As you are now, you won't be able to even make me get up from my chair." Enel didn't even bother judging Oven's reaction as he took out a map from a bag and started looking over it.

Oven himself sweated a bit as he thought about Enel's words. He didn't know if he could take on a Rear Admiral as he was currently, still he didn't expect that much confidence from Enel...

"No reason to get all scared now. But damn, Akainu really did do a number on you..." Enel said as he slowly sat up, this time Oven calmed down, knowing that Enel wouldn't kill him due to his mission at the very least.

"..." Oven couldn't really protest, looking down to see his missing limbs. Maybe he truly wouldn't be able to do much in his current state.

"I don't get it... Why ask me to help you train anyway?" Oven said as he snorted a bit.

He wasn't precisely against some light physical activity, especially since he was going to be alone with Enel for quite a while and he needed to somehow check how weakened he was after his capture.

The rear admiral also seemed a lot more agreeable than Akainu was...

The admiral had been extremely brutal, both before and after he had caught Oven.

Although Oven didn't like Enel due to his previous actions, he could at least appreciate that he wasn't put in an uncomfortably small cage that was laced with seastone...

"Listen, I don't care much for pirates. I detest most of them, honestly. But that doesn't mean I can't look over that and take advantage of a pirate if need be." Enel said as he nodded his head in a sage-like manner.

Hearing Enel's answer made Oven rise an eyebrow at him. Maybe Enel wasn't that much better than Akainu after all...

"Hey, I appreciate the thought, but now that I think about it, did you even grab the keys for my cuffs?" Oven asked as he looked down at his cuffs.

"Why would I ever need that?" Enel said as a golden tendril rose from the ship, it seemed to enter into the locks of the restraints that held Oven's power at bay.

With a sigh, he tapped the ship with his staff, and a golden pegleg formed and supported Oven without any issue.

The upper part connected itself with Oven's leg with two metal tendrils that twirled around all the way around his knee, making it look like a modern prosthetic.

Oven's eyes widened at that. "Thanks!" This time, his tone was completely honest.

He may have looked down on the marines, but he was not an ungrateful person. With that, Oven decided that he would at least ask his siblings to not outright kill Enel.

"You would be relatively useless without a pegleg, stop thanking me for nothing. Also, get to work, don't stop unless I ask you to." Enel said as he rubbed the bridge of his nose in frustration.

Oven looked at Enel pointedly, then, with a sigh, he decided to start. With a sadistic smile, he dashed toward the marine, his fist cocked back and ready to crush Enel.

Enel didn't move one step, simply trying to bend his body out of the way. Right now, he wanted to train two of the six powers, and gain some insight into Seimei Kikan.

The first strike was easy to evade, as Enel simply allowed his body to tilt to the side. But the second one became much harder, as Oven delivered a straight right towards Enel's gut.

Enel frowned a bit as he realised that he wouldn't be able to dodge that one, so he instantly hardened his muscles as hard as he could without using haki.

Garp had told Enel of this training method, it was to gain mastery in both Tekkai and Kami-e. Dodge any attack that you can, those that you can't use your body to block.

Oven punched Enel in the gut with considerable strength, making Enel gasp a bit as some spit came out of his mouth.

Oven stopped at that point, and asked "Need a break?" He didn't know how to pilot the ship they were on, and at this point, he realised that it was likely only flying due to Enel's devil fruit.

So he didn't want Enel to pass out by any means, as that would mean his death as well.

"What?! Why did you stop!? Do I look like I've moved from this spot?!" Enel looked angry at the mere suggestion of resting so early.

Oven was a bit shocked by that, looking down, he noticed that Enel had indeed not moved at all from his original location.

Oven's eyes widened a bit, he had hit Enel with a lot of strength, he was still acclimating with his missing arm, so his balance and weight distribution could be improved, but that punch was still close to 70-80% of his full power...

'This is going to be a long month...' Oven thought to himself as he felt less and less excited about the sparring partner situation he found himself in.
