As I trained my magic these past few months I also trained my body to further handle the strain my magic caused on my body. Carrying boulders of all kinds of sizes while also box squatting with them on my back, I even benched and curled them, of course I started with smaller sizes and went from there getting noticable stronger each month. And I of course never neglected training both types of magic trainingmy control over each given magic. My goal was to surpass my dad, I wanted no needed to he the strongest just like him. But so far I was nowhere near on his level yet he was said to have the power to destroy the world yet I did not as of right now I was significantly weaker physically, mentally, and in our abilities.
And so I decided to pick up one of the spare pole arms that so happenly was made specifically for my size. I never understood why the townsfolk and my "parents" do what they do it just didn't add up. I mean my dad had me training around this age but the difference was we were pirates and I will still be one. But the difference is fundamentally the life styles we live townsfolk and villagers generally live peacefully, while pirates live a life of thrills aswell as having to fight for your life constantly it just didn't make sense.
And then there was the fact that they even wanted to test if I could use weapons naturally or not that's just usually dangerous everyone was so damn weird even the kids were and I also noticed the fact there was only two kids around my age in the whole village others were substantially older such as 4 or 5 years older. I just couldn't put my finger on what they could be but none of their plans or whatever they are doing would stand in the way of true strength, the strength my dad had. The strength to take constant gun fire and attacks and yet still stand and live albeit for moments yet he died standing he was the embodiment of strength in my eyes.
But he died due to naivety letting traitors run nearly scott free, except in teaches case. So what is wrong with these people, what could be going on with he strange mages.
I pondered these thoughts as I did several moves my dad did before me I was practicing the ways he fought aswell ass improving them, such as dodging blocking more, parrying.
And then I caused the earth to tremble once more with a simple seismic powered punch the cracks appearing in the air in front of it as I punched the ground causing a fairly big crater it was probably double what I used to be able to do.
Deciding to leave the plains and headed towards a river that lead directly to the ocean. I stabbed my staff into the ground and balanced on one foot to further strengthen my legs, aswell as improve my bodies balance and most of all to improve my ability to multi task aswell as my mental capabilites.
And while I balanced I started controlling the water with hand movements to further visualize and ease my control of water. Afterall the reason why I used my hands to control water was how easy it made it otherwise I could use no hands it's just significantly harder aswell as the fact it mentally drains me more.
And so with slight finger movements I controlled the tentacles causing the lash out on nearby debris caused by my previous magic training breaking the rocks and trees into mulch and a fine dust.
I then proceeded to move my hold hands to suck the debris in the water by creating currents in the tentacle, that caused a sucking force that would cause it to immediately suck whatever the water touches into the murky depths of the sea. Well that would be the case if I wasn't practicing near a river.
Slowly a cleaned up the mess I made of course excluding the craters, all the evidence that was left my training was the puddles of water caused by the fact I wasn't entirely used controlling water like I used to be.
But them I swapped legs as I felt my previous one was feeling tired; I didn't know the exact amount of time that passed but it would have to be around an hour that's how long I can mast roughly. This time I just practiced controlling the currents within the water an ability I used for my dad when we sailed the calm belt since we would use it as a short cut at times.
And the I started creating waves at a much lesser scale than at Marineford, causing the earth at the edges to fall in; I simply didn't care and just kept practicing manipulating the water to my whims.
Using my magic always felt so nice it felt like I was reunited with an old friend or something around those lines. With my magic I would never forget everything I have been through or my father. I refuse to taint his name like many had done before, I am his son and I will continue his legacy one day and noone will stop me.
For now I will gain strength preparing for the day I execute my plans. And I will have to keep an eye on the mages that are coming in an put of this village; I have this foreboding feeling like everything isn't what it seems but I just can't figure out what.

[POV Magic Testing Area]
"It appears he has exceeded expectations yet again, the more and more time that passes the more you have succeeded with this gamble of yours I'm sure he will be satisfied with just this."
The masked figure who has spied on Ryujin spoke out.
"I'm happy to hear such praises, we shall wait a nine more months as agreed upon and then we will make a decision."
The one who tested Ryujins magic spoke out.
"Ah yes he is much stronger than the others, he is but a diamond in the rough while the others are unrefined iron."
A new masked figure spoke out who seemed to have more intricate designs to his outfit, diamonds layered his jacket that was white unlike the usual black. He was skinnier than the other mages.
"Agreed, we shall wait and see if possible we should let him develop a bit further preferably, we can either use him as a new commander to collect more or even use him as a power source with the amount of ethernano aswell as the regeneration rate it could also be a wise way to use him."
The wide masked figure in black clothing spoke out.
They all nodded in agreement to what was said. And then they all disappeared yet again but the one who tests the children's magic capabilities.

I hope everyone enjoyed the chapter and I hope your all having a wonderful day or night wherever or whenever you may be.
And yeah that's really it his training speed seems fast because hes simply relearning most of these things besides his seismic magic also known as white beards magic, but he has the theory behind it so hes applying it and learning control.
His progress will obviously slow later on, but yeah anyways discord will be down below and to those who want me to fo a one piece fic with this mc I will be, itll be an alternate universe or the main timeline of his.
