".... So... you"re saying….. that you were ambushed by Lector, that little brat that almost caught you in the edge of the Red-line?! and-and little Liz..... Died!!!?!??!" Ragner roared as he rose from his seat. A baleful aura had suffused the room, as the walls shook and the earth cracked.His momentum seemed unstoppable as a heavy aura engulfed the entire of Raftel, like a mountain it seemed to weigh on all its residents, making it hard for anyone to breathe. His scarlet coat seemed to flutter in invisible winds, that had been brought by his extreme rage.
"Ka…ka….ka, World Government, you"ve gone and done it now. You"ve managed to p.i.s.s off the Monster! This old man will kill you all now!! Better wash your neck and wait! This old man shall go fetch his beard shaving knife!!" He roared, as spittle flew from his mouth, before he made to leave the room with an enraged flurry.
"Seat your a.s.s down old man!! I haven"t finished yet!" my father roared as his aura pressured all the people in the room, of which only the reception lady counted because I had gotten quite used to father"s aura over the past months for which I had been training with him. She had been giving me a pitiful look over all the things that father had just told Ragner and now had a pale face with sweat that glistened on her pale brow.
"The little brat is my son, Gol D Lorean. Greet your grandpa little brat!" My father said scowling, as my grandfather swiveled around to look at me, before he sucked in a cold breath. "Not affected by Haki?" he asked disbelievingly, as he looked at my father, a little smidge of anger still remaining at the back of his ringed eyes.
"Aye. And not only that the brat"s already awakened his own haki of conquest and observation, and just over a few months too!" My father said pridefully as he again observed me reproachfully motioning for me to do what he had just told me to do.
"Little lore greats grandfather." I said as I bowed my tiny head of straight hair. My father"s face cleared as he again went back to looking at my grandfather, a content look in his tired eyes. "You don"t need to make a move, this little brat will be enough to slaughter a path to Mary Geoisse!" my father declared confidently before going back to his liquor gla.s.s, which he had received at some point during his story.
"Kakakaka good grandson! good grandson indeed! Rise your head little "D" this old man likes the way you speak, not like a certain someone.." He said as he motioned for a place next to him. (he had already seated himself though I don"t know when..)
"So adopted son of mine, what do you want with this old pile of bones?" he asked his hands already creeping towards a different barrel. (Yes, you heard right, my old man was the adopted son of Ragner, not the actual one.) "The little brat needs someone to train in the skills of the dagger, ask old Tanken to accompany him." My father said indifferently as he too got back to drinking.
"Ohhhh...… Akagami…? Why not? the sniveling a.s.shole is the best dagger user I know, why not indeed…? But why now? you want to cripple your son?! he is only a year and a few months old, you want him to undergo that demons training?!!" My grandfather said, getting himself into another spit of anger.
"Ihihiihihhihi… I didn"t think of that..." my father said, scratching the back of his head sheepishly. "Dad…. why don"t I eat my devil fruit now and focus on that until I get to the age of like… ten before I start training with the uncle that you mentioned. Till then I will try to learn all the fighting styles possible while training my Hans Humpty techniques ?(I don"t know what else to call it….)" I asked expectantly.
"Hmmm that could work, why not?" My grandfather said as he wove up an air of certainty. "Ok…..but brat…. your still going to train under me for observation and conqueror"s Haki, while doing all the things you just said, while also starting you"re armament Haki training by about the age of three.." My father said as he put on a pondering look, before finally nodding and looking at grandfather.
"Also old man, loan me you"re island at the back of Raftel, we"ll stay there till this little brat is able to set sail." My father said as he gave the old man a look, containing a hint of mysticism, laughter and surprisingly warning.
"And little lore? I amn"t gonna go easy on you just because of your age, you"ve gone way past you"re age, after looking and going through the things that just happened." He said looking at me with a face that alternated between serious and evil (owing to the devilish smirk that he had at the edge of his lips, I would say that was devilish, yes I very much would.)
Grandfather looked on at this scene of abject abuse, with a amiable and content smile on his lips before he pulled out a little tobacco pipe and smoking it. "Oh and little girl, take little lore to the library, he said that he wanted to learn let him do so." He said as he looked at the women in the room, motioning for her to lead me out of the room, which she gladly did, though she did smile at me as she dragged me out of the scary atmosphere where she had almost p.i.s.sed herself…..

"How much ever s.h.i.t a child of two goes through, he can"t have already awakened his conqueror"s Haki, what are you playing at, brat..?" Ragner said, as his calm atmosphere dropped to reveal a serious man that was probably his true face.
"Ihihihi…. I know right old man…" Jack chuckled as he lit his own pipe. "I wouldn"t have believed that the kid was mine had I not seen him grow.. He reminds me of that tale I once heard of the sea and the trident! Nonetheless the brat"s mine, I can see that and so can you right old man? So why can"t the man act like a child for some more time, 0it will be fun to watch, don"t you think?" Jack said as he started to giggle.
" Ha! if you trusted as much as you say you did, then you would have let him live in Raftel until he set sail!!" Ragner said as he too descended into a fit of giggles. "I have my own reasons old man, he isn"t a pacifist like old Raiger, he wants an adventure, I have seen it many times in the brat"s eyes, a solemn acceptance of all the matters he has seen. You know what I saw as I mourned her, old man? I saw it, a true rage that had even me shaken, fit like a mountain about to blow, it had me rattled!!" Jack said as he chuckled.
"Now I just want to see the storms that this brat brings to the seas, imagine it the thunder and lightning at his beck and call, and a fleet of ships that cover the vast horizon, won"t it be interesting old man..?" he asked as he continued to drink, liquor dripping down the sides of his face from a crack that seemed too big to be a smile and eyes with an ocean of expectations behind them…..
