THE GREAT BATTLE ROYAL
THE ONLY SURVIVING COMPETITOR

"Aww~... G-Gigi.. stop. Hehe. That tickles.. Whoa!!" I yelled as I fell of the sofa.

Wait... Sofa? Where am-oh yeah. I slept in the crows nest. I look over the window and it look like it's just sunrise. Time to get up then. I strecthed before heading down to get myself ready. I took a shower, wore something in the closet and took a light breakfast before heading to the front of the ship. The view of the sunrise is quite beautiful actually. I stood on the head of Sunny before doing a hand stand. Now. Focusing time. I stayed there, focusing myself to my hand stand. But focusing finally leads to drifting into a memory. Fortunately a good memory.

"Wah!!" Riley yelled as he fell off the log and into the mud pool below.

"You okay Riley?!" Mom asked from a far.

"Yeah!" He replied.

My brothers and I are going through a course that our parents made with mom as our coach. First there's the eight foot wall, then there's the balancing log, the swing, and finally with a final sprint while carrying a bag of sand. Most people say it's cruel to make ten and eight year olds to do this but actually, we're the one insisted on doing this. Mom and dad are skilled fighters, so we need to be skilled too. Not to mention to have some good physical strength like dad's.

Even though he's strong, he's still training everyday. Actually, he's going through the course with us right now. By the sprint, I carry a bag of sand while he carried ten of them. And yet, he's still faster than me and the others. I tried challenging him but he was way ahead of me anyways. Normally, my brothers and I only have to go six to ten laps around the course but mom made dad to go through fifty.

In the end, everyone took a break in a hut not far from the course. Everyone was tired but dad doesn't even look like he is.

"Not bad guys. You all did some improvements today." Mom said, walking towards us with drinks.

We all took one and Remi and Riley fight over a juice box, again. Mom got out her clip board which she used to keep track of everyone's progress.

"Riley, you should work on your balance a little. Remi, try to increase your stamina and Reiner, perfect. Same as Yukiko. That's three in a row guys, good job." Mom stated.

"Woo! Up high!" I exclaimed high fived Reiner.

"Zoro. I think that you're ready for the U100 course." Mom stated.

"Great then. Should I start now or...?"

"Better to start tomorrow. Trust me, you're gonna need it."

"What's the U100 course?" I asked, butting into their conversation.

"It's a course like this one but much more tough. It's only flr grown ups because it's too much for kids to handle." Dad explained.

"Hey! I'm tough and I can handle it! For sure!" I protest against his explanation.

"Yukiko, the course goes by it's name. It's the Ultimate 100 course. Just think about your course and have the difficulty level times a hundred." Mom reasoned with me.
