Chapter 016 Strength

I started my attack with basic punch and kicks. Rapp just brush them off and threw a punch to counter my attacks. I dodge his punch and distance myself. 'As I thought my punch doesn't even make him take me seriously. I'll have to use haki and Rokushiki'. I clad both of my hands with Armament haki and used Tekkai to strengthen my body. After that I used Soru to move close to him and used Shidan on him. My Shidan only drill an inch of hole is his arm. He countered with a powerful punch but I already know his movement, I dodge back and distanced my self. I threw a few Rankyaku at his direction but it didn't even scratch him.

Seeing Rapp shocked face, he miscalculated the strength that I posses. He then gave me a good look, and said:

"Let's stop our spar here. Any more than this could hurt you." (Rapp)

"Ok. So, how was my strength?" (Satou)

"Its not fully develop but, its terrible. If given time and resource, I don't think how powerful you'll become in a few years. I am sure you will surpass me in the future. However I found it odd, your gourmet cells isn't fully awaken yet you have this monstrous strength. What is your secret? " (Rapp)

"....." (Satou)

"Well, I respect privacy but can I ask you this. When you first attack me, your hands are just normal. But after that its color change together with its toughness. What technique is that? And also how did you manage to dodge my attack? As if you anticipated the trajectory of my attacks." (Rapp)

"It's called haki. By coating your haki in your arms, you can make it as hard as steel or even harder. As for my dodging, its a secret." (Satou)

"Ok. I would like to be taught by that but I can't be over demanding. I would like to ask if you would like to join Biotope 0? (Rapp)

"It would be my pleasure, however I cannot go with you until I finished my training here in Heavy hole. So after my training where should I contact you?" (Satou)

"I would be in the Gourmet world after this so you can just contact the President of IGO. I'll arrange things there after I report my investigation." (Rapp)

"I understand." (Satou)

"Before I go, I want you to keep secret about everything we had talked here and about the Nitro. We don't want to cause panic in the Human world." (Rapp)

"I swear I'll keep this secret." (Satou)

"Good, then I should go. Goodbye for now, let's meet again in Gourmet world." (Rapp)

Rapp leap simultaneously as he climb up. I feel like Rapp isn't affected by the gravitational pull. Looking at the figure of Rapp until it disappears I'm thinking on learning sword skill after my training in Heavy hole. I started going deeper and deeper to Heavy hole where gravitational pull becomes even stronger.

(AN: Rapp's point of view)

As I return to IGO I immediately went to the President and give my report about the kid Satou and his potential. I also mentioned about him knowing Biotope 0. As my report ended, President put a serious face and said.

"This kid is a monster. From what you said earlier, the pressure you felt came from the kids Gourmet cells. Not only its not fully awaken but its power is comparable to the 8 kings." (President)

"Yes, that is what I think. His age is only 12 but his combat ability is stronger than any of his age by a large margin. He also had that technique called haki which turn his hands into black to toughen his arms adding greater force in his punch. He also dodge my attack as if predicted." (Rapp)

"Haki? I haven't heard any technique that could toughen the hands to increase power and defense. (President)

"Neither do I sir. Although I wanted to learn it, I'm sure its not an easy to learn technique. Besides that technique should have a master who pass it to him. It would be bad if we forced him to teach us unwillingly. What I'm afraid is if that master is an enemy, seeing how strong that kid is his master is surely another level." (Rapp)

"....." (President)

"President I should be returning to Biotope 0. Please look after him." (Rapp)

"I will, by the way Rapp. Have you seen Melk in the Heavy hole? I ask him to prepare for the knife for cooking AIR." (President)

"No. I only went there to investigate about Satou. He should be in the deepest part of the hole busy mining Melk Stardust. Making the item you request, will need a lot of it. Besides its hard to make that knife, who knows how many years is needed to create it." (Rapp)

"Well I just hope that everything will be fine." (President)

"Well President I'll be going." (Rapp)

I walk out the office after I said my farewell.
