2 Strongest Swordsman!

Luna looked at the surroundings in wonder. It was indeed a beautiful island—green mountains, as far as you can see. Giant trees stood firm, whose leaves fluttered in the cool, refreshing breeze.

Garp and Luna walked on a nice dirt path surrounded by rice/paddy fields. Luna could predict why the island's name was Rice island. It was because all of the villagers who lived on the island worked to produce rice for a living and would sell it to nearby islands.

After walking for a solid 30 minutes, Luna got bored! This was a natural occurrence for Luna. She tends to get bored with things fast and always has to be moving. "Papa, when will we get there? We've been walking for so long!!" Luna exaggerates with her tone and how far they have walked, but the old man's heart melts when Luna calls Garp papa.

What can he say? Her cuteness is irresistible! She's a madden! A goddess in the mortal form! Garp was not able to resist her cuteness; it was simply impossible!

"Ohh, is my little moon bored? Alrighty, hop onto papa, and I'll pick up the pace!" Garp said as a smile formed on his face as he picked up his little moon.

Garp immediately picked up the pace running at unknown speeds so fast that he even created after images. But of course, Luna was having the time of her life as she put her arms up into the air with her mouth open. "Shishishishi! Papa, go faster! Faster! Shishi!" Luna yelled and laughed at her grandpa as if she was on a roller coaster.

Garp smiled as he speeded up again, making the smile on Luna's face grow even more as her silky black hair flowed in the wind and her bright blue eyes shone gleefully.

They continued this pace for another ten minutes as Garp ran off the dirt path and into a forest-covered mountain.

Luna lost track of time as Garp suddenly stopped at a big wooden gate several meters tall at the top of the mountain.

Luna had a confused look on her face as she looked at the regular-looking wooden gate. There was no unique design, just a plain old wooden gate. Garp let Luna down as he walked up to the gate and started to knock or, more like, smash in the gate as he thunderously roared, "Old Hag! Get out of there this instant! I Want My Debt To Be Paid! Open this gate before I knock it over!"

Luna looked up at her grandpa in shock, and she didn't expect her grandpa to suddenly yell at the person who was supposed to be training her in the future. Sensing Luna's looking at him, he turned to her and smiled while she smiled at him, understanding the situation.

'Shishishishi, so gramps is making the person pay back a debt by training me… shishishi Papa is so smart!' Luna thought while looking at her gramps while smiling.

"Who dares to knock Down my Gate! This better Not de a Pran-" the person yelled while walking to the gate while opening it but stopped talking, seeing it was Garp.

"What are you doing here, Garp!" The old man with white hair and a kimono shouted while looking at Garp and Luna with inquisitive eyes while raising one of his eyebrows.

"Aoi, I'm here for you to pay the debt you owe me! So you are going to teach my precious granddaughter swordsmanship! Whether you like it or not!" Garp said while punching the old man in the head, sending him flying back into the residence to which he had just opened the gate too.

The old man was now on the ground and hopped back to his feet as if he didn't just get sent flying by Garp's punch. As he patted his clothes, dust came off them from the impact of the dirty ground.

The Aoi looked at Garp again, then at luna. He scanned her up and down till he looked away, saying, "I will not teach a girl! Their bodies naturally have less strength than men's. She is not Suited for swordsmanship. Go bother someone else to teach this brat!"

Garp was just about to punch the old man again, but Luna beat him to the punch before he could. Literally.

Luna ran up to the man at a fast speed for a child and grabbed her wooden sword that was strapped to her waistline, and whacked the old man across the face. He didn't go flying like Garp's punch, as her hit was significantly weaker.

Aoi looked at the wooden sword that had hit him across the face. No mark or anything was left on his face. It's as if he didn't even feel the hit. He didn't budge an inch. "So is this all you got, brat? You can't even make me budge an inch. What a joke. A swordsman? Quite dreaming and go home and serve some tea." Aoi said while walking away but Luna's bright blue eyes narrowed as a weird but profound aura came off her body as she looked at the man standing before her.

Both Garp and Aoi looked at her with weird looks. Aoi looked at her in shock, while Garp looked at her with pride. The Aura both of them were sensing was Conqueror's Haki. But of course not yet awakened. The only reason both of them could feel the slight Aura coming off her body is because of the very high level both of them have trained to. Anybody who hasn't trained their Haki to a high degree wouldn't be able sense this change in Luna's body.

"I will become a swordsman! Not just any swordsman but the strongest! So take it back! You will train me, and I will become the strongest swordsman ever!" Luna declared with determination as she set her eyes on Aoi's body.

Aoi looked at her till he turned away, heading back into the building that looked like a Dojo. "There is an extra room down the hall to the right. You can stay there for as long as you want. I will teach you swordsmanship but not my sword styles."

Luna looked at the man In surprise as he walked into the building. Luna turned her attention over to Garp who had a smile on his face but couldn't help but feel sadness.

Garp noticing Luna down casting face had a small smile as he kneeled down and patted her head "don't worry luna I will come to visit every other month. And don't worry about Aoi he's a good person even if he doesn't show it. If you ever need anything just call me on this transponder snail" Garp said while standing back up and turning around preparing to leave. Just as he was about to exit the gate he felt something grab onto his leg.

He looked down and saw Luna hugging his leg as small tears ran down her face. "I-i will miss you papa. Please visit as much as possible…." Luna said quietly while fidgeting with her hands behind her back making her look very adorable.

Garp smiled down at Luna as he went to leave again before shouting at the top of his lungs as the entire residence shaked "AOI! IF I FIND OUT YOU TREATED MY GRANDDAUGHTER BADLY WHEN I COME BACK I WILL HUNT YOU ACROSS THE ENTIRE WORLD!"

Garp then winked at Luna as he left the residence leaving a teary eyed Luna as she looked at his figure disappearing into the forest.
