~3rd POV~

Bakugo spends the next year getting familiar with the people of Rōjin island and they him. The inhabitants of the island have all grown quite fond of the young child. A few even offered him a permanent place of residence but were all politely declined.

Bakugo and Mori on the other hand grow quite close to each other over the course of a year. With Bakugo even showing Mori his Devil Fruit and Mori telling Bakugo some story's of his days as a Marine.

It wasn't until Bakugo turned Six and began his physical training that, Bakugo and Mori's relationship changed from Grandfather and Grandson to Teacher and Student after Bakugo admitted to his goal of becoming a pirate.

~FlashBack ~

"OI Old Man!" Bakugo shouts to get his Gramps attention.

"What'd ya want brat?!" Mori shouts back

"Train me" Bakugo states looking Mori directly in his eyes.

"Hmm" Mori hums, looking at Bakugo. "Why?"

A shit eating grin makes it onto Bakugos face. "So I can become a pirate"

Mori releases a sign, "I figured, you'd want to be a pirate"

"What? How'd you figure that?" Bakugo practically roars.

"Brat you spend your days living in a forest because you love your independence and with your devil fruit. No way would you be anything other then a pirate" Mori deadpans.

"I could've wanted to be a Marine" Bakugo grumbles.

Mori and Bakugo stare at each other before bursting out in laughter at the share absurdity of that statement.

"RAHAHAHA"

"PHAHAHAHA"

"I'll train you brat, but you best be prepared to die" Mori says with a demonic grin.

"Oh ho ho, bring it on old man" Bakugo grins back.

~Flashback End~

💥💥💥💥💥

(Age 5-6) The following year Mori had Bakugo focus solely on his physical abilities. With his Strength, Speed and Dexterity being Mori's main focus.

Bakugo did see a noticeable improvement in all physical aspects over the course of the year. Even his Devil Fruit's explosive power increased with Bakugo having to put much effort into it, as he didn't really have the time too.

(Age 6-7) The second year of training, was hell compared to the first. Mori told Bakugo the the first year of training was merely to prepare his body for the hell he's about to go through.

With Mori getting Sea King meat, which accelerates the body's natural regeneration and increases the body's potential, Mori was able to train Bakugo to his hearts content.

Towards the end of the second year Bakugo was able to practice some basic Kata's that Mori showed him for when they begin to spar regularly.

(Age 7-8) The third year of training (Bakugo was able to focus of his fighting skills and train with his Devil Fruit, mostly to get used to it when fighting.

Twice a day Bakugo would fight against Mori, once without his Devil Fruit and once with his Fruit Devil. Bakugo hadn't even been able to scratch Mori just yet.

(Age 8-10) The Forth and Fifth year followed the previous ones example, while also being the most difficult as Mori held back less while pushing Bakugo to his limits everyday.

At the age of 10 Bakugo also started to fight the wild animals in the forest for experience. Bakugo had explored the entire forest and made a small map outlining each area.

There was the Mountain which was the Bear Lords domain and then there was the section ruled by the Wolf Lord and his pack, then lastly there was the area the belonged to the Tiger Lord.

Bakugo made a promise to fight and beat everyone of these beast before he's allowed off the island.

(Age 11) The Sixth year was completely different from the previous years as Mori had Bakugo learn from the inhabitants of the island.

Mori said to Bakugo that he couldn't allow him to leave the island just for him to get caught in a storm and drown. So Bakugo was being taught basics in navigation and cooking. But Mori still had Bakugo continue his training aswell.

(Age 12) The seventh was the most difficult in Bakugo's opinion, not that he minded he liked the challenge. But the reason the seventh year was so difficult was due to all the different things Bakugo was training.

His Devil Fruit, physical and fighting abilities and he still had to practice his cooking and navigating skills.

Speaking of his Devil Fruit, Bakugo has made exceptional progress with his Devil Fruit. His explosive power is powerful enough to destroy multiple trees at once, Bakugo also figured out how to shoot smaller more compact explosions from his fingertips.

Another interesting aspect of this years training was, the introduction of sword training. It was only basic training, but like all combat training Bakugo took to it like a fish in water.

(Age 12-13) The eighth year of training was focused on sword fighting and sparing against Mori. Bakugo also began to create his fight own fighting style which used his Devil fruit to increase speed and dexterity using explosions.

Bakugo also began to hunt and fight the Lords of the Forest. Has fought all three of them separately, with the Bear Lord being the strongest that even Bakugo's explosions did little damage.

That's why Bakugo made it his goal to beat the Bear Lord and climb the mountain without using his Devil Fruit.

(Age 13-14) The final year of training was hellish as Mori began to teach Bakugo about the Rokushiki, of course Bakugo had seen Mori use the Rokushiki before and even tried to copy some of the abilities. But Bakugo honestly didn't have the time put in serious effort to learn them until now.

Mori who used to be a Rear Admiral, who was mostly focused of the beginnings of the Grandline (Paradise) before he retired. With Mori having shown Bakugo all the Rokushiki, even though he was no master Mori had practice with all 6. Bakugo only picked 4 to actually train seriously while simply getting an understanding of the other two.

Bakugo's main focus would be on Tekkai and Rankyaku as he believes they would compliment his Devil Fruit well. Followed by Soru and Geppo as they are the most practical and useful for someone who values speed and agility.

Then lastly Shigan and Kami-e, as Bakugo really doesn't feel the need to have them as he could replace Shigan with his Devil Fruit and he doesn't like the idea of focusing solely on dodging instead of a more aggressive approach.

The Rokushiki (The Six Powers) are:

- Geppo (Moonwalk) allows its user to jump off the air itself allowing for its users to "Fly"

- Tekkai (Iron Body) allows its user to tense and harden their body to allow for superhuman levels of defence.

- Rankyaku (Tempest Kick) allows its users to start by kicking at very high speeds and strength, which results in a sharp compressed blade of wind

- Soru (Shave) allows its users to move at extremely high speeds in order to avoid attacks, as well as to attack at higher speeds and with greater power.

- Shigan (Finger Pistol) the users of this technique pushes their finger into a certain target at a very high speed, leaving a wound similar to a bullet wound

- Kami-e (Paper Art) allows users to relax their body and make it take on the characteristics of a piece of paper; this grants the user extraordinary flexibility that allows them to avoid any attacks.

Secret Seventh Technique:

- Rokuōgan (Six King Gun) The user places both their fists right in front of the target to focus their physical strength to launch a devastating shock wave from their knuckles in a forward direction, causing severe internal injuries to the victim
