Luffy's Big Brother.

Edam P.O.V

The days were going by, then weeks, then months, with Luffy continuing to pester Ace every single days by chasing him throughout the forest.

Luffy really did had a great will to chase even when the sun was burning hot or when the rain was blowing him away like a piece of paper.

Every time he chase he would meet crocodiles, piranias, gigantic serpent, or giant lion daily, but he never gave up.

As for me, I followed the first two weeks, but seeing him making out alive every single time, I just thought that continuing to watch was not really necessary anymore, so I stopped.

And Luffy didn't disappoint me at all, he was coming back every time at home with fewer and fewer injuries as the days were going by.

He was slowly but surely becoming stronger even though he never managed to caught Ace even once , anyway it still made me happy to know that.

I could now focus on training myself in the forest without worrying for him.

End of P.O.V

Deep in the forest, a kid could be perceive playing with a black horned rabbit, however if one were to watch closely you could see that the black rabbit was doing everything it could to impale the kid.

The kid was about ten years old wearing plain clothes, having pure black hair with the strange characteristic of having a brown colored tail swinging behind his back.

Obviously this kid was Edam. He was training his dodging reactions against a horned black rabbit who was known for it's incredible fast speed that combined with his horned could tear down a tree completely.

However,the beast was naturally apprehensive of human beings despite it's strenght, so they were rarely seen around.

But, Edam having lived all his life with a grandpa who threw him in the jungle and took him to beat bandits and other crooks he had gain many methods to lure the rabbit out of his lair.

Unlike Luffy, he didn't contented himself with what he found but what he hunted.

Anyway, he was dodging the fast and murderous attacks of the little rabbit rather easily as time passed. Being surrounded by many small trees, the rabbit was jumping on the trees to gain speed and then attacking, jump on a tree and then attacking repeating this cycles for a rather long time.

The rabbit was really intelligent and started to feign some moves.

This did had some effects on Edam as he didn't managed to perfectly avoid the rabbit resulting in a small scratch on his shoulder tearing a piece of clothes by the way.

However, this didn't help long as Edam was really a genius at hand to hand combat certified by Garp himself and was rapidly adapting himself to the rabbit's speed.

When he was going to end the training as it was be meaningless to continue, a second rabbit join in the frame and started to attacks him.

'Hmm?!' 'another one ?' he thought in surprise.

But then he thought again 'Perfect, it was time I test it anyway.' a little grin on his face.

Wihle he was dodging, Edam slowly did what was the least recommended to do in a battle, and that was to close his eyes.

Other people would think that he was closing his eyes in fear, but some would tell you that this kid didn't have a single ounce of fear on his face but rather an unshakeable confidence in him.

Having closed his eyes, his senses were pushed to the maximun of their capacities and even though he was confident in his prowess he didn't dare to relax a single second.

One mistake could cost him his life, that he was aware but his grandpa told him and he found out personally that he was getting stronger everytime he was closed to death or in difficulty, so avoiding dangers was not an option to get stronger.

The world seemed to slow down as Edam closed his eyes trying to feel the presence of the two rabbits, the air, the nature and every single things and beings in the vicinity but with his senses he didn't manged to senses something at all.

However something did give him a warning and a sort of image of what was going to happen to him appear in his head.

With this prediction, he managed to dodge the two rabbit's attacks who were aiming at his head, he dodge the first by moving his head gently to the right and the second to the left.

With his eyes still closed he smiled when he succed and then said with a grin " Heh, too slow, you two."

Even the two rabbit seemed to be surprised as if they could understand him and began to bounce furiously on him again, in vain.

Edam finally understood that it was his unique monkey tail who was giving him his warning.

Every time something dangerous was going to happen to him without him knowing, it would give him a warning.

His tail's fur would stand on their own everytime one of the rabbit was going to jump and they were two his fur were standing all the time.

Now that he thought about it, he was never surprised when an hostile beast was trying to kill him in the past as he would always woke up before the attack was launched.

After familiarizing himself with this new ability he discovered, Edam decided to stopped the what he called a training for him but a battle to the death for the rabbits, he dodged to the right and then kicked one by side with his left leg making it fly to a tree nearby while he caught one by the horn with his right hand.

"I don't really want to killed you as you're too small to fill my stomach, so I'll just let you go." he said while smiling.

He knew that he was talking to a rabbit but sometimes animals proves to be smarter than some humans being and also Edam was really in a good mood today with his new discovery so he decided to let them go.

He threw the rabbit he held in his hand to the other rabbit while turning around and stopping.

The rabbits who were hesitating between going on another round or fleeing finally chose the latter as they were smart to know that they couldn't do anything against him.

Hearing them getting away, Edam started to walked away leisurely in the forest.
