One Piece: True Justice

Chapter 5 - A new friend

A month has passed by and Zed was still doing his daily body training when he noticed that someone arrived.

He turned around and saw his Father walking with a marine that has a huge apro, behind him was a blonde kid with a marine uniform.

Zed recognized them as Sengoku and Rosinante.

"Zed! come here for a moment I want to introduce you to someone" Zephyr called out Zed.

Zed hearing his Father, he immediately ran towards them and looked at the Sengoku and Rosinante.

Zephyr then introduced " This guy here is Marine Admiral Sengoku, the one behind him is his adopted son Rosinante"

Zed then introduced himself "Nice to meet you Admiral Sengoku and Rosinante, My name is Zed"

Sengoku smiled seeing Zed's attitude and said to Zephyr "You have a good son Zephyr"

Zephyr laughed and patted Zed's back saying "Of course what else do you expect from my son?"

Sengoku rolled his eyes at his colleauge and looked at Rosinante "Go and introduce yourself"

Rosinante nodded and said "My name is Rosinante and

I'm currently 9 years old, nice to meet you Zed"

"So Rosinante now that you're here, want to join me on my training?" Zed said while already pulling Rosinante's arm.

When Zephyr and Sengoku saw the two kids were already acquainted they left and went back to the house.

"So Rosinante what type of training do you usually do?" Zed asked curious to know how Rosinante trains.

Rosinante glanced at Zed's training ground and said "I usually follow the training regime given to new recruits, but I usually do labor works like cleaning the hallways and washing dishes."

Zed looked disappointed because he expected to hear about secret skills or something.

He then said "Don't worry because from now on you won't do those boring things anymore, I will tell my Father to let you stay here and join me on my training"

Rosinante immediately cheered up hearing this and said "Are you serious? buy maybe Sengoku won't allow it to happen."

Zed patted Rosinante's back and reassured him "Just trust me, why would Sengoku even bring you here if he didn't thought of letting you train with me."

Rosinante was then enlightened he looked at this kid who is younger by him and nodded "What you said make sense."

Zed laughed and told Rosinante his training regime, when he found out how Zed trained he was dumbfounded because a 5 year old kid can already do those kinds of things?

He steeled himself and joined Zed on his training, after finishing doing 50 push-ups, sit-ups and squats Rosinante who was currently doing the 5km run fainted from exhaustion.

Zed was shocked seeing this and immediately called his Father to inform him that Rosinante fainted.

When Zephyr and Sengoku heard this they immediately went outside and carried the unconscious Rosinante.

Zephyr apologize to Sengoku "Sorry about that Sengoku, I didn't told Zed that Rosinante isn't suited for intense training."

Sengoku shook his head and said "It isn't your fault Zephyr, the reason I brought him here is to train him harder in order to become a strong marine alongside your son."

On the next day while Zed, Zephyr, Sengoku and Rosinante were eating their breakfast Zephyr said "Zed from now on Sengoku will be the one training you alongside Rosinante when I'm not available. and when he is the one is busy then I will be the one to train you and Rosinante."

Zed nodded and said to Rosinante who was currently eating his food like there was no tomorrow "Rosinante from now on we will be training together so be ready!"

Rosinante and replied "Don't worry Zed, I won't collapse like yesterday."

Zephyr and Sengoku laughed hearing their conversation, After finishing their breakfast Zed and Rosinante stepped out the house and ran towards the training ground.

"Rosinante, I think you should first start with 30 reps and 3 km run. When your body is already adjusted you can then add more reps." Zed said seriously

Rosinante thought for a moment then nodded "That's sound's good, don't think that I will just let you advance and leave me behind! I will catch up to you in no time."

Rosinante then started his own training regime with 30 reps on each exercise plus a 3km run, Zed seeing Rosinante all fired up also started his own training.

The two old man were grinning seeing their sons being competitive with each other, this was the reason they want them to train together so that they could have this competitive attitude that want's to become stronger than the other.

After the two kids finished their training, they sat down below a tree leaning on each other.

"So Rosinante I'm curious to know about your past, I heard that you were only adopted right?" Zed asked, he knew that it was a s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e topic but he wanted Rosinante to open up to him.

Rosinante was quiet for a moment the said "To tell you the truth I'm a celestial dragon" after saying this he looked at Zed's reaction, wanting to see how he would react.

But to his surprise Zed just nodded and looked at him calmly waiting for him to continue his story.

He smiled then continued "Both of my parents hated how the other Celestial Dragon's treat people so they decided to leave Mary Geoise in order to live a normal life. so me and my older brother who was reluctant to follow us descended from Mary Geoise.

We were finally living a peaceful life when the inhabitants of the island found out that we were Celestial Dragon's and started harassing us and burned our home.

We were then forced to live a poor life style and my mother died from illness due to our living poor condition.

Then something far more worst happened, the angry citizens who burned our house captured us and tried to kill us, I fainted from terror and didn't how we survived.

I thought that we can finally live a peaceful life after that when one day my older brother killed my father in front of me.

I ran from terror because I thought my brother will also kill me, when I was scavenging for food I met Sengoku who then took me in.
