Rin's POV
Man, I can't believe I'm finally going on my first mission, and with the two people who took care of me. Hans and Cho found me lied around the beach when I was little and was washed ashore, and they took me in as if I was their son. Their like my best friends in the world, but my number one father figure is Admiral Aokiji. He thought me most of everything I know in combat, and Admiral Kizaru is my second, he thought how speed up my attacks with Soru. I just added my on spin to it add made my own moves out of it.
Admiral Akainu hates me for some reason, I don't know why, but everytime I look at him he gives me the look as if I'm a pirate. When I spar with him and completely different when sparring with Garp, Aokiji, and Kizaru all together. He actually uses his Devil Fruit powers on me like he wants to kill me, and he holds the power of the Lava Lava fruit. The only way I can touch him or lay a punch is to use something called Armament Haki, it's like a invisible coat of arm and turns my skin black when I use it. Garp says I can use up to fifty percent of Haki at a time, and I can only use it on my arms, and sometimes my legs if I'm lucky.
Anyways, back to training, I call up Armanent Haki in both of my arms and try to fuse it with my Dragon Dragon Fruit and it was a piece of cake. I watched and my right arm instantly became black with scale-like texture drawn it as multicolored flames danced around it. I see a mountain about three mile away from me, I've decided to test my new Haki infused Dragon Fist on it. I use Soru to get there faster, and had my new Black Dragon Striker ready, and charge straight ahead.
Once the mountain was within range, I launched my new attack at the bottom of mountain. It made a loud boom as if a cannon got shot at it, only difference is one cannon couldn't break a whole mountain as if was nothing but a huge pile of building blocks. That's one of the effects of using Armament Haki, it enhance your strengh greater than normal. Garp's also tells me that a Devil Fruit user using Haki shouldn't be able to use their powers while using Haki, but it makes me wonder how am I able to mix my power with my Haki, so easily in fact. I'll worry about that later, right now I want try something real quick before I get some actual training done.
I use Soru to get to the Marine Headquarters' Armory, and I steal some Sea Stone handcuffs. I'm gonna try training with these and strengthen my body without my Devil Fruit. I don't wanna be like Kizaru and have to always rely on my powers. I split the chain connecting the two cuffs so I can be able to move my arms and hands. As I put them on I started to feel weak, once I got both of them on I wanted to throw up. I felt really weak like I couldn't even blink, but I pushed my body to get up, and I used Soru to get back to my training ground. Altough I wasn't as fast getting back, I actually started sweating while using Soru. That never happens, I guess with me being a Devil Fruit user now puts alot of pressure on my body in general. I throw a right punch in the air, and brought it down and did the same with my left, making a series of right and left punches until I sped them up. My goal was to at least make my punches at least half the speed of my Soru punches. I kept going till I did a total of on hundreds punches on each arm, by the time I was down my arms felt like rubber. These cuffs are really irritating me, but I need to keep them on so I can strengthen myself.
I go and try to throw some high air kicks, but everytime I try to lift my leg feels like a thousand pound weights replaced my bones. I only got thirty air kicks finished before they felt like concrete boulders and I collapsed on the ground, for a moment I thought about sleeping the rest of the night but I got up anyways u refuse to rest till I get more training done.
I pushed myself up off the ground and decided to take the cuffs off, only bad part is, I forgot the key and I don't feel like running all the way back to the armory. So instead, I brought both my arms outwards and brought of them together as if I was about to clap, only difference is, I clapped my cuffs together. Once they clashed and fell off, I instantly relieved as if I was never tired out in the first place. In fact, I felt lighter and my legs and arms felt like I never worked on them in the first place. I decided to try out my arms again and I get a Tornado Gatling Gun going, and once I got the Tornando Gautlets ready I went to the nearest boulder and used my Gatling Gun on it. I was faster than before, I can tell because it only took me five second to reduce it to rubble.

Maybe this Sea Stone cuffs can help me train after all. I guess I'll try out my Devil Fruit power some more before I put the cuffs back on, I want to see what else I can do with this power. From the looks of it, I have plenty of time to spare because it looks like it just turned midnight. I get my Dragon Fists ready and I get ready for a long night of training, but even as I get ready I still get the feeling like somebody is watching me. I look around, but I see no one so I shrug the feeling off and strike at a boulder straight in front of me.

As Rin continued his training a shadow of a incredibly tall man. He was fair skinned, and unusually muscular. He had a square shaped face, and had short black hair. He had a standard Marine cap and a crimson, double breasted suit decorated with a pink rose on his left button hole. His name was Sakazuki but everyone knows him as Admiral Akainu. He watched as Rin used his newfound powers to break boulder after boulder, and started to get angry.

Akainu's POV
The little shit is at again, huh. I don't see what Sengoku sees in him. His mother is a pirate and his father probably is to. Its only a matter of time until we find out who his father is and when we do I will kill him myself. Enjoy your days here, Wolf, its only a matter of time before I kill you myself. The day you betray Marines will be you last day on this planet.

Then he left.
