Haruno became stunned. This kid wants him to be his disciple? Haruno laughed loudly and said: "Go home kid. I won't accept any apprentice or disciple or something like that. I work alone... For now." Well, that's true because Haruno wants to be a pirate and want to see Luffy being the pirate king. So what is the solution? Be one of the Mugiwaras obviously! The boy looked at him, Haruno thought that just talking that would make his motivation disappear... But no. It was stronger than before! His eyes were shining while he was looking at Haruno, who felt a cold sweat run down his spine. He turned back and left, the hot followed him like a dog. Haruno ignored him and started to search for one hotel, the boy behind him started to talk without stopping. For some reason, Haruno thought about Luffy and smiled. This little guy remembers him when he was a kid and trained with Luffy... Sigh... But... "Sensei! Where are we going?" "Sensei! What are you going to do now?" "Sensei! Sensei! Sensei!" This one is annoying!!!

Haruno looked back at him and said coldly: "I'm not your sensei. I don't accept you." Then the little one looked at his feet and looked back at Haruno and with a smile, he said: "So I just need to make you accept me!" Black lines ran down Haruno's face, he sighed again and opened a portal to his room because he didn't found a good hotel. He entered and prepared a bed when he thought that the boy had given up he heard: "Wow! What is this place?" He looked behind himself and saw the guy entering his portal... He remembered when Luffy entered his room for the first time too, he was stunned and wanted to destroy a wall... Well, he broke one finger with that.

Haruno used his Akuma no Mi and controlled the walls of the room and threw the guy off. He discovered that he could control the whole room with perfection. Teleport inside his room, control the walls, ceiling, floor... And etcetera. He lied on the bed and slept peacefully. The next morning he left the room and saw that the boy was still outside lied in the ground. He sighed and left, behind him the boy whole up instantly and started to follow him. Haruno looked back and said: "Look, kid, I grew up in the mount Columbo. I hunted giant animals every day. I waited for weeks until my prey appeared. You won't be able to win with your patience. So I will give you a test, kill one pirate with the bounty of one million. Then I will accept you as my apprentice." This made the boy stunned. He looked at Haruno with his blue eyes and smiled. Then he left, walking toward the city port. Haruno sighed and walked in the opposing direction. He was going to see the place where Gol D. Roger was executed by the Marine.

He followed the crowd, just to feel like he is a tourist or something like that. After some hours walking around the city, Haruno heard a person saying: "Did you heard? They caught a kid!" "Yeah, but the kid tried to kill him!" "The kid was saying something about a sensei." This last sentence made Haruno's heart turn cold. He rushed toward the city port jumping and running. When he arrived he saw a big guy with a hammer kicking the bog that was talking to Haruno this morning. The guy shouted: "This brat! Tried to kill- me!" At every word, he kicked stronger than the last kick and blood flew from the boy's mouth. When the big pirate was going to kick him again, Haruno whispered: "Support Portal: Instant Movement." A portal opened where the boy was and his body instantly moved to where Haruno was, Haruno trained this move with Ace and Luffy to coordinate their attacks when they fought with gangsters in the grey terminal.

The boy opened his eyes and just saw Haruno's back. A grey t-shirt and red hair, Haruno could make his hair grow up, so he learned to modify his hair with different styles and forms. Now his hair was a normal hair, like Luffy's hair cut because it was Haruno who cut Luffy's hair. Okay, back to present. Haruno looked at the boy and used a [Recovery Buff (Green)] on his body, everything that he does to the boy, he remembers about Luffy and Ace... Sigh. The big guy looked at Haruno shouted: "Who are you bastard!?" Haruno smiled and pointed to the ship behind him, with a snap of his finger and with Haruno's whisper: "Fire Control: Explosion." the ship exploded and started to burn! Haruno smiled and answered the question: "I'm his sensei."

The ship was burning and the crew that was on it jumped on the water, the big guy looked at Haruno angrily and rushed toward him to kill him. He used his ax and swung it upward and downward, attacking Haruno. The boy was stunned because Haruno didn't move! He shouted: "Sensei! Move!" Haruno smiled and said: "Defense Portal: Deflect." Haruno used his portals to deflect the attack. He opened an entrance portal in the ax and an exit portal in the ground beside him. This move deflects instantly what touches the entrance portal. After the dust settled down, the boy and the guy with the ax, the crew and even the people around them were stunned. Haruno pointed to the ground that had the ax mark and said: "You missed." Haruno then smiled and touched the ax that the guy was holding, his finger turned red and the started to burn! Haruno smiled and said: "Fire Control: Fire Touch." Haruno created this move after concentrating Soul Energy in his finger and using his skill [Soul Fire] the concentrated fire burns quickly than the not concentrated one, so Haruno decided to concentrate his fire every time he attacks with it. The ax had a big black mark and the iron on it started to change color to red and the guy dropped the ax instantly.

Haruno used his: "Attack Portal: Decapitation." And cut off the guy head and grabbed it. Then when he was going to leave, a gunshot hit near his feet and a voice said: "You aren't going now. I will fight with you." When he looked back he saw the ship captain! He had burn marks and other old scars too. Haruno sighed and fought with that guy too.
