36 Limits...
Chapter 36
Title: Limits...
….
As Itachi and Garp get ready for their spar. Garp comes to his decision. 'I need to teach him that he shouldn't be too arrogant and give him a view of how strong one can truly be.'
Garp has no intention in holding back his speed, he can see a lot of potential in Itachi, and even though something like the Double Double Fruit isn't a fruit that can push him to Admiral level. He knows that if Itachi truly trains as much as he can, then he has a chance of becoming a future Admiral.
"Ready?" Asks Garp as he has his hands in his pockets, expressing to Itachi that he isn't worried at all whether Itachi can beat him or not. Itachi on the other hand can kinda sense Garp's strength so he knows that Garp is there at the level where his father is. A level where normal people can only look up to.
Of course, whether Itachi's senses are truly accurate, it depends… and he too knows that.
In the end, Itachi nods at Garp in confirmation.
Fwosh!
And before he can react the only thing he feels is a gust of wind and…
Baaam!
Everything goes dark to Itachi as he is immediately knocked out. Garp looks at this with a calm look on his face as Itachi falls on the ground.
"Hope I didn't hit him too hard… I honestly thought he would somehow dodge that first attack… guess I have been fighting in the Grand Line too long to know how much strength I should use against someone around Itachi's strength." Thinks Garp out loudly as he then picks up Itachi who has a big bump on the top of his head.
….
Like this Itachi spends a whole month training under Garp all day long, and in the evening Garp puts him to sleep… by hitting him in the head. Every time Garp uses the same attack to knock him out. Whether he blocks, tries to dodge, or even use his clones as shields… one punch is what always takes him out. At least what he assumes to be a punch...
One day as he woke up, like usual with bandages around his head. He would soon become nine years old. He just gets up like usual and has some of his clones help in the bar while he does some stretches, as he does so he goes outside and picks up the newspaper.
As he does so he is a little surprised by the news today.

FISHER TIGER IS DEAD
Fisher Tiger, the monster who terrorized the world and climbed the Red Line is dead… he was finally captured by heroic marines as he was going to savagely massacre another village. He had a hostage who was a little girl, but everything was perfectly done by the heroic marines….
————————
As Itachi eats some breakfast and reads the article, he can't help but contemplate. 'This should be the crew which Jinbe is part of right? So I guess he will join dad's crew now.
As he keeps reading along he sees that Arlong was captured too. But that doesn't interest him at all, he just wonders what his father will do next. They haven't kept in contact at all recently due to Garp being here he will not take the risk and ruin his plans so fast.
'Wonder what dad is currently doing?' Contemplates Itachi as a longing look appears in his eyes.

….
At this time Jaw was just on the outskirts of Raijin Island. The lightning doesn't even bother him as it bounces off his skin, he has a rock on his hand.
…
-Jaw POV-
I have been training endlessly this last year and noticed something… my physical power has reached its limit… every being has a limit at how strong they can be. Sure the limit might be high to some, and as a Fishman, mine was high too.
That is until I reached it… and I found out something terrifying. My raw physical power is nowhere near Big Mom or Kaido.
I had this fantasy that as long as I keep training I will be able to physically grow stronger, it seems like that is not it at all. A mortal will always have a limit…
DAMN IT… FU*K...
I am still weaker than the other Yonko and only by using petty tricks I can defeat them. If I fight any of them on land I will easily be defeated, especially by Big Mom who has fire abilities that would dry up my skin. Though Haki could be a way to fight off strong enemies, Haki can run out too and it can't be said that Haki can grow indefinitely either.
But as soon as I thought about reaching my raw physical limit… I thought about some things and figured something out. What about different techniques like Seimei Kikan (Life Return). It allows the user to control their bodily functions, I of course planned to learn it long ago, but I have no idea where to even start.
I should just wait till Itachi learns how to do it from the Marines and then he will teach it to me. That is the next technique that might allow me to surpass my physical limitations.
Pow!
The rock explodes as a shockwave comes from my hand. I didn't even use Haki to do this… this is Hasshoken, the technique the Chinjao family uses. It can send shockwaves from each of their limbs, now this style isn't really that strong in my eyes as it can easily be overcome with high raw power.
But combining the Hasshoken principle with my Fishman Karate should bring some satisfactory results and it should help me fight even when I can't use Fishman Karate.
I sighed out once again, I guess that I should start searching for many different martial arts and such.
I get up and…
*Thunder!!!*
A giant bolt of lightning will hit me...
*Fwooooom*
..
Or at least that will happen five seconds from now.
Booom!
And as I predict a bolt of lightning comes towards me. I just use Haki on my hand and…
Booom!
Slap the lightning bolt away, changing its direction.
I am gonna go and pick a fight with Kaido soon. I know that he will come to challenge me, so I better make the first move. Also, I will announce Kisame as my child, he is strong enough and he can handle the pressure now and pull away from the attention of my other children.
Honestly… I think that Kisame has a higher physical limit than me. Though I don't think he will ever grow stronger than me, he should be able to become quite strong in the future with my training.
….
-General POV-
While Jaw was contemplating ways to raise his strength. Kisame also had his own thoughts on how to get stronger. 'I will challenge the next strongest Fishman after dad… 'The Knight of the Sea' Jinbe…'
….
….
And just like so another year is concluded, Jaw and his children all pushing themselves to complete their father's dreams. The one dream which only someone like Jaw is allowed to have… he wants to have this world under his control.
