The captain was sweating, he looked at his underlings, " are they dead? " Captain carice asked while his hands shuffling about on the deck, " you already know the answer to that captain…. Also, you don't need to try underhanded methods, just take your sword out and fight me, " the captain got up, drew his curved sword, " you're going to regret this kid, " he said as his voice was shaking as a lamb right in the middle of a pack of wolves.
The captain ran at Theodore stabbing him in the stomach, followed by a headbutt. Theodore's sense of pain over the past 4 years has become distorted, with all the Fatal attacks that he took from Beasts he Hunted. Captain carice pulled out his sword and backed off, Theodore was bleeding, his nose broken, " I told you you were going to regret it kid! " the captain said with a smile that suddenly turn into abject Terror as Theodore looked at him straight into his eyes approaching him with a saunter, " again! " Theodore commanded.
The captain was shaking in his boots but unfortunately for him his only means of survival was the demon in front of him, ' haki is the will power, and ambition inside all living beings… and how do people will power get stronger, by stressful and tumultuous events, times of crisis, ' Theodore looked at the captain who just cut off his arm. Theodore healed it back by absorbing one of the captains dead underlings, ' I can't always be in times of crisis just to strengthen my will, my haki… the best way to do it is through pain, since I'm partially immortal, ' thinking up to here Theodore looked at his lockbox that he threw in the corner the ship, ' it should work… I believe that's how my haki got stronger over the years. '
After a while, Theodore fought back using both Armament haki and observational haki.
Theodore was staring at the clouds, " Suns about to set, " he murmured, he looked at the bloody face of Captain carice that he had knocked unconscious, " let's go " Theodore grabbed the captain, his box then left flew off the ship.

It was in the middle of the night about time Theodore reached his new home Island. Walking into the local Marine Base threw the captain's body at the floor, " this is the captain on this wanted poster, he's alive, " was surprised, but didn't question as they were far stranger things that happened in this world, " alright let me just get the paperwork, then you will have your money, sir,,. " Theodore did the paperwork, got his money, then left for the inn.
7 years passed in a flash. Theodore was sitting down watching Adrian and Adam spar, " it looks like Adrian is gonna win, " Sarah who was sitting next to Theodore said, " yeah, Adrian reached a higher level with the sword… not to mention his haki is better, " Adrian slashed with his long sword, Adam parried the blow with his Armament haki coated blade. Adrian stepped in and thrusted his blade; Adam leaped to the right dodging the blow, used rankyaku, one of the Marines six powers to create a slicing wind.
Adrian sliced the wind apart, dashed towards Adam started a diagonal slash with his right arm, but Adam was ready to parry it. all of a sudden Adrian switched his slash from left to right. Adam who fell for the feint did not have enough time to react, when the longsword of Adrian landed on his neck, " I win! " Adrian said with a smile.
Adam looked frustrated as he sheathed his curved sword, " I can't believe I fell for that trap, " Sarah got up brought them both a cup of ice water, " you shouldn't worry, fights are about strategy and tactics which you're not so good at, " she said slashing with an imaginary sword imitating Adam, " When You Reach a certain level in combat experience unless the gap between you and your foe are wide, it's usually up to chance and of course strategy and tactics, " Theodore reiterated What Sarah Said, " I already said that theo! " she said as she looked at Theodore incredulously, " yeah, I just want to beat it into Adam's head that you have to strategize in a fight, " Sarah snorted at her brother's response, " sure."
Sarah picked up the sniper rifle and her pistols, " I'm going to catch some Pirates, you guys want to come? " her siblings agreed leaving together with Sarah to have some sibling bonding.
Sarah showed the target of their hunt a pirate crew watch 300 million beli. The Captain's bounty alone was worth 195 million beli. after the captain were three other crewmates 1 worth 60, the other 30, and the last 15 million beli. and so the siblings spit some time searching for their prey going by the name of the Lost Pirates.
