Knives pov.
     
I saw Star and Crystals divisions both climbing the pillars that were used to learn Haki.

I snorted at the fact that they are actually gonna attempt to teach their weak divisions days before our rankings. Or at all. 

I looked around assessing the rest of  my competition for rankings. We all had to fight each other to see how strong we had become if we were to go at it right now Star and I would be equal if not me being the better. 

Crystal? No she was just the last one left.

When my oldest sister flipped she killed all. Only a few where left and they where left with less then half of themselves. Mentally and physically. Crystal was no exception. 

I shook the growing memory out of my head and looked at my own division. They where doing what was supposed to be done, paring up and sparing training for rankings. Not trying to learn a hard skill in just four days.

Still as I saw there cooperating divisions I began to wonder just exactly what was going on.

The projectiles Crystal and Star where hurtling towards there members weren't the canon balls that I was used to. no. They looked squishy? I tilted my head and looked at my division, waving them to keep going and walked across the field towards the groups of members. 

Once I got there I saw Star among the recruits standing in front showing their  members what they needed to do to learn the skills they would so desperately need to defeat me.

I saw Crystal in all her short glory, jump up and down holding a rotten tomato.  

"Food fight! Food fight!~~~" she kept repeating with a smile.

She tossed the tomato in the air and I caught it quickly above her head. "Well, we seem to have gone soft huh Star?" I stated squeezing the tomato above Crystals head.

Crystal cried out and stepped aside. She held her arms out In Distaste and watched the tomato ozze off her arm. She looked at me as everyone went silent. Crystal smiled and held out her hands in an attempt to embrace me. I backed up and heard Stars chuckle.

"Yeah I have. I couldn't take the canon balls. Too many memories. I can't touch them." she grew quiet and the looked back up at me. " You can have a go at them. After you escape Crystal of course." She stated waving me off and picked up a fruit and showed them what to do.

I looked at Stars division members who followed her moves and begun to dodge pieces of rotten fruit that was being thrown.

I then watched Crystal from the corner of my eyes. She had settled for chasing a member of her own division yelling "I order you to hug me num num num!" I walked over to a bucket where woman where plunging there hands and grabbing fruit. And chunking them at the ones on the pillar. I heard there cry's of "eww." And "oh my Mistress this stinks." I picked up a brown apple and tossed it in the air wishing I could use Haki on projectiles like Star could but instead just felt satisfied with just a sheer tough throw. 

I watched as the apple flew towards my target at high speed. No it wasn't Star. She ,as much as I hated, always used Haki so she would catch it at a drop of a dime but instead it was aimed after her second in command Flames.

I smiled as the fruit continued to fly passed Stars cloak and towards Flames.

The red head had her eyes closed and was doing a very good job at dodging most of the rotten delicacies. However mine was so fast she probably couldn't catch it. I had aimed it at Flames knowing Star would jump in front. And sure enough I saw Star turn and watch it quickly pulling out her whip. Wait her? Her?! No my sisters whip and slapping the fruit in half as Flames jumped off the pillar.
