Chapter 10: Marine Based - 10
The thing about One Piece Kaden knew, was that Haki grew stronger during stressful situations, especially in live combat. More especially in life or death combat.
And the same applied to other skills.
Mihawk's idea of training Zoro to reach heights far beyond what he was capable of, was tossing him into combat against massive sword wielding gorilla's.
Training was all well and good when it came to getting a technique down or increasing physical abilities, but true experience and ability, would shoot through the roof in the process of live, deathly combat.
Thankfully for Kaden in that regard, he was stationed at one of the few marine bases that heartedly came at each other with full strength with no regard for each others lives.
"You're open Kaden!" Commodore Yarisugu shouted with glee as he blitzed forward at blurring speeds, huge sword coming down in a diagonal swing meant to bisect Kaden from shoulder to hip from behind.
His sword locked against another large, bald and incredibly muscular behemoth of a man, Kaden tensed his muscles with all his might until they reached a hardness iron would be proud of.
A loud clanging sound reverberated through the air as the sword struck his shoulder, sliced his flesh, but did not go any further.
"Oh!?" Commodore Yarisugu's eyes widened and a noise of interest left his mouth, while the one Kaden was facing off against, gaped at the failed slash, allowing Kaden to overpower him and launch a front kick into his stomach and launch him flying back, and take the chance to spin, sword flashing out aimed at his superiors neck, only for his own larger blade to zip up with a jerk of his hand and block it easily, "That was Tekkai was it not? Another one already? You're doing quite well." the queerly dressed marine complimented, before slamming the palm of his other hand into the flat of his blade and completely overpowering Kaden and launching him back just like he did his previous opponent.
