The Path To The Top

Chapter 6: Goals



Mirage: "Allana, are you okay? Normally you're not so depressed, what happened?"

Upon hearing Mirage's question, the look on Allana's face darkened again and she spoke

Allana:"ah... My mother died..."

Upon realizing what a mistake he made Mirage apologizes and Damian asks a question

Mirage:"ihh... Sorry"

Damian: "how?"

Allana is surprised by Damian's question and Mirage reprimands Damian

Mirage: "Dami! What the fuck is that question? Especially for someone who just lost their mother"

Damian: "Stop being cool Mira, someone being down like that isn't healthy, so it's better to know what happened, to be able to help, don't you think Allana?"

Allana, upon hearing what Damian said, is surprised by his logic and says

Allana: "I think it makes sense, so I'll say it, even if hurt, after all, you guys are going to help me, right?"

Dami and Mira: "obviously blonde\of course we will"

Upon hearing their response, Allana begins to tell what she remembers.

Flashback

In a house that was falling into pieces, you can see Oriana, covered in blood, holding little Allana, who appears to be 3 years old, who was crying, but when she heard Oriana's voice, Allana stopped crying and listened to her.

Oriana: "my little Allana... don't cry... it doesn't suit you... My little harmony"

When listening to her mother, Allana swallows her tears and when she was about to speak, she hears the voice of a man she doesn't recognize.

????: "true, Allana don't cry... Not yet, and Oriana, I told you, didn't I? I told you I would find you"

Scared, Allana tries to look at the face of the man who destroyed her house, but she can't.

Allana: "Mom, who is he?"

Oriana: "he's a demon- ahhhhhhhh"

The man, upon hearing this small interaction between the two, stabs Oriana in the back, which leaves Allana to fall to the ground and speaks

????:"what language is this Oriana! What do you think we are teaching our daughter! *stabs again* (Oriana:"ahhhhhh")"

Allana who saw this, got up from the floor and ran towards your mother

Allana:"mom!!!!"

Oriana:"no! Don't come! Ahhhhhh!"

While Allana ran to her mother the man continued to stab her and when Allana reached her...

She was already dead...

And the man, upon seeing that his daughter, who arrived at Oriana's body, spoke

????:"Allana, right? Interesting name that Oriana chose, harmony, beauty and rock, I wonder if you'll be able to keep the meaning of that name"

Upon hearing the man, Allana runs and starts hitting him.

Allana: "you damn thing!!!! Why did you do this to my mother?"

????:"why? My daughter, I don't need a reason... someone like me doesn't need a reason"

Allana: "damn! damn! damn! damn-"

The man, upon realizing that the girl was blind with rage, looks at Oriana's body and continues speaking

?????:"but I'm curious, why did she have to become a revolutionary? Oriana was stupid, but not *that* stupid, she knew she would die if I found out... but fuck it"

Allana: "revolutionary?"

????:"ah, I almost forgot about you, daughter"

Allana: "Don't call me daughter!!!"

????:"wow, how scary!*sneer*"

The man approaches Allana and raises his hand close to her head, Allana, seeing his hand approaching, tries to move away. But she can't, so the man's hand rests on top of Allana's hair for a few moments and then Allana's eyes close unconsciously

End of flashback

While Allana spoke, her eyes looked like a dam almost overflowing, and the moment she finished speaking, that same dam broke into tears. Mirage and Damian, seeing her in that state, decide to go hug her, in the end. moment when the two hug her Allana feels strange but returns their hug and gives a small smile

After a few seconds

After Allana calms down, Mirage asks

Mirage: "You really don't remember his face?"

Allana:"no, I really can't remember, no matter how hard I try"

Damian: "fuck, it would be nice to know who we're going to deal with in the future"

Allana: "What do you mean 'we'?"

Mirage: "Hey, Didn't Dami say we were going to help you?"

Damian: "there, there, besides being blonde, she has bad memorie"

Allana: "shut up, Dami"

Damian: "come shut me up, blonde"

While Allana and Damian were fighting, Mirage notices something from Allana's story

Mirage: "guys"

The two who were preparing for sparing stopped and looked at Mirage

All and Dami: "what?/say soon Mira!"

Mirage: "I think I I may know who All's father could be"

When the two heard what Mirage said, the two stopped to listen to him

Mirage: "pay attention, All said that the guy called her mother a revolutionary, right?"

Allana: "yes, I said it"

Damian who was paying attention to Mirage's reasoning understood, what he was going to say

Damian: 'How did I not think of that?"

Mirage:"That means he works for the world government!"

Allana: "It makes sense... and you, Dami? What do you think?"

Damian:"it really makes sense and apparently he had to be high-ranking"

Mira and All: "why?/what do you mean?"

Damian: "from the looks of it, he was alone when he went after your mother"

Allana: "and what does this have to do with him being high-ranking?"

Damian: "Will you let me finish?... Thank you, continuing, if he was alone, It means one of two things... either his rank is so high that he can act alone or the elders trust his strength so much that they let him go alone"

Mirage: "in other words..."

The three of them: "We're fucked!"

After this conversation, the three lay down and were desolate for a few moments before realizing the position of the sun.

Damian:"hey, am I crazy, or does it seem like it's not time yet lunch"

Mirage: "but it's not, given the position of the sun, nor should it be 10 o'clock"

Allana: "at the orphanage, we wake up around 5:30, now it had to be around 7:30"

Upon realizing that it was still too early, Damian speaks

Damian: "So, that means we have about 6 hours until lunch, right?"

Allana: "yes, why?"

Upon hearing the answer, Damian and Mirage begin to get up, meanwhile Allana is without understanding anything

Mirage: "Let's start training, right?"

Allana: "training? What training?"

Mirage: "Oh yeah, All didn't know about our training, so do you want to train with us, All?"

Allana seemed a little thoughtful when she heard Mirage's question, but she responded enthusiastically.

Allana: "Come on! After all, I have revenge to take, right?"

Damian: "that's the spirit, blonde! If you said no, I would give up help you find your father"

Allana: "Why?"

Damian: "Isn't it obvious? This is your revenge, this is your goal, right? I can help you get stronger, but who am I in the bread line to interfere with your goal, eh?

Allana: "Really, so before training can I ask you a few questions?"

Mira and Dami: "of course/you can"

Allana: "You talked about goals, so what are yours?"

Mirage: "Isn't it obvious? I want become the best swordsman in the world, I want to surpass both Hawk Eyes Mihawk and the Sword God Ryuma"

Allana: "How complicated... and what is your's Dami?"

Damian:"compared to Mira's, mine is much easier, my goal is to become the strongest this world has ever seen"

Allana: "What do you mean 'easier'? Do you think overcoming people like the yonkos is easy?"

Damian:"well... Yes, after all I will don't need to pass i don't know how long training the way of the sword"

Mirage: "true, in his case, you just need to get stronger to the point where it's impossible to beat him"

Allana: "uffff... There are only crazy people around me"

Mira and Dami: "says the one who wants to kill her own father"

Allana: "Okay, so let's start training?"

After the conversation, the three began training, but different from the usual training, in this one they focused on doing special training for Allana.

First the two tested her physical fitness, starting with running for an hour, by the end of which she was already exhausted.

After half an hour of rest, she went to train her reflexes on what consists of a rope with a stone at the end, attached to a tree heading towards her and what Allana needs to do is dodge when was closer to her face for about half an hour.

Now that the warm-up was over, Allana moved on to heavier training, the first thing to do was lifting weights, such as logs, stones, etc., this went on for an hour.

After that he went to the punching bag, known as Mister Tree and there he was the most tense, as his skin was not resistant like Damian and Mirage's, his hands and legs At the end of the training session, they had several scratches.

Damian and Mirage, seeing the state that Allana was in, decided to stop her training for today

Damian: "okay, enough training for you today, let's rest"

Allana: "not yet, I can continue"

*Bonk*

Allana: "there! What's that for Mira!"

Mirage:"That was for not listening to us, you stupid blonde. You need to rest, look at your body... it's all hurt, if you continue like this you'll only hurt yourself more"

Allana: "So you are asking me to rest for my health?"

Mirage: "yes and besides, in case you haven't noticed, only you are training, Dami and I also want to train without having to keep an eye on you"

Allana: "ahh... That's more like you"

As Allana went to sit on a log that was on the ground, Damian stops her and hands her a roll of bandages

Damian: "here blonde, wrap up where you're hurt"

Allana: "thanks"

Mirage, when he was about to start his training, looked up at the sky to see the time and saw that it was almost noon and complained

Mirage: "What the fuck!"

Damian: "What happened, Mira?"

Mirage: "We won't have much time, it's almost lunch time"

Damian: "fuck... Then let's go straight to sparing"

Upon hearing this Mirage positions himself and calls Damian to fight

Mirage: "So, come on, Dami!!"

Then the fight begins, Damian runs towards Mirage and throws a trip using his lower pair of arms.

Mirage: "really? If you have four arms and you're going to come with a trip?"

Then Mirage jumps over Damian's trip and when Mirage was about to retaliate something happens

Damian: "Is it serious? That you try to jump over me when I have four arms?"

After finishing speaking using his pair of upper arms, Damian grabs Mirage and throws him like a rag doll.

Mirage: "ahh, real bro, I was wrong"

Mirage, while spinning in the air because of the throw, his hands begin to have a small electric glow and with that Mirage claps his hands and stabilizes himself in the air while speaking.

Mirage: "did you like the trick, bro?"

Damian: "yes, but since when can you use electro so well?"

Mirage: "after the explosion of energy yesterday, it's much easier to control her, even if I think there's something missing"

Damian: "okay, we'll solve this later, but now... Look at the dick (log)!!"

At the end of the dialogue, Damian rips a tree out of the ground and starts swinging it in an attempt to hit Mirage.

And Mirage dodged all the blows masterfully as he approached Damian

Mirage: "what the fuck speed is that! Even a wheelchair user without a wheelchair is faster than that"

Damian: "calm down! Come on calmly"

the moment Mirage gets close enough to Damian, he charges an electric punch and just as he was about to launch the blow, Mirage feels his hand trapped and looks at Damian

Damian: "I don't believe you fell for it, do you think I'm stupid?"

Mirage: "well, it's not my fault you look stupid"

Damian:"hey! I could sleep without that, you piece of shit!!"

What happened was that at the moment Mirage was about to land the blow, Damian placed the tree in the middle of the blow, causing Mirage's fist to get stuck.

Damian, seeing that his strategy worked, throws a punch at Mirage, who passes through the tree that was in their midst and lands a right on Mirage's stomach, who is thrown away by the impact, still with the piece of tree in his hand.

Mirage: "..."

Damian: "Hey... I didn't kill you, right bro?"

Hearing this Mirage jumps up and coughs a little and you can see some blood coming out of his mouth.

Mirage:"*cough*, shut up Dami, *cough* don't think of yourself, it was just a weakling punch!!"

Mirage runs at top speed to where Damian is, and the moment he reaches him, Mirage prepares a punch, the hand in which he had the tree stuck starts to glow and after a few moments the piece of the tree explodes in Damian's face, who complains.

Damian:"you bastard! A piece of lint got in my eye"

Meanwhile Mirage was hiding to launch a surprise attack, and at the moment in which he noticed Damian trying to remove lint from his eye, Mirage charges electricity in his legs and gives an electrified kick to Damian's back making him leave the ground and taking advantage of this Mirage jumps and tries to land another blow on Damian but something stops him

Damian:"not so fucking fast!"

Mirage: "shit"

Just as Mirage was about to apply the blow, Damian grabs Mirage's legs and turns around. to land on his feet, and as soon as he was on his feet he started spinning like a Bleybade and tried to hit Mirage in a tree but

Mirage:"stop... stop it bastard... I'm going to feel sick..."

Mirage as a desperate way to get out of this whirlwind of nightmares, he focuses energy on his hands and touches Damian's arms, causing him to destabilize, causing him to release Mirage, who flies away, but managed to stabilize himself in the air. and stand up even if you're a little dizzy

Mirage:"you piece of shit, I almost threw up"

Damian, who wasn't much better, having been spinning so fast, quickly stood up and responded looking at Mirage, but Damian was looking in the wrong direction.

Damian: "stop the drama"

Mirage: "look at you, you're seeing things wrong"

Damian: "okay, let's wait for the dizziness to pass"

After a minute the effect wore off

Mirage and Damian returned to their positions and fixed their postures, Mirage went to a karate stance and Damian went to a looser stance, after getting ready Mirage calls Damian to fight again

Mirage: "Are you thinking the same as me?"

Damian: "I think I even know what it is"

Mirage:"oh yeah, so on 3"

Dami and Mira:"1... 2... 3! Last attack with everything!"

Mirage: "you know!"

Damian: "please My brother, I know you enough to know what you're thinking"

Mirage: "okay, let's go"

Then the two began preparing their strongest blows yet

Damian started to make strange movements almost as if they were a dance, but there was something even stranger about this dance, the movements, in addition to being assimilated as a dance, also had martial arts movements in between, but there were something strange about this 'dance' and that with each movement it seemed that the next one was faster and stronger, and this blow ended with a double punch using both of his straight hands

Mirage's started differently, he channeled little energy into his feet and like a spring he began to bounce on several trees and the ground to increase his speed even more, to untrained eyes it may appear that Mirage created mirages of himself and in the final part Mirage launches himself towards Damian in the form of a flying

Just before finishing their blows, the two shout the name of their attacks

Damian:"DEMON DANCE!!"

Mirage:"THUNDER SPEAR!!"

????:"STOP NOW, BOTH OF YOU!!!"

*Boooooom!!!!!!*

Allana, who went to rest on a log a little far from the two boys, watched them Allana: "What are these two going to do?"

Then the fight between the two began, with Damian's first move and Mirage's dodge, Allana comments

Allana: "so it was a fight, but why a sweep? Since Mirage is faster than him"

However, she is surprised by Damian's next move, using Mirage's dodge against him.

Allana:"I didn't expect that, and I don't think even Mirage expect"

And then an unexpected thing happens, Allana sees electricity come out of Mirage's hands

Allana: "How did he do that!?"

(A curious fact about Allana is that among the three, she knows the least about One Piece, so she hasn't reached Zou yet, the most she knows about this part is videos, etc.)

After the surprise, Allana paid attention to the fight again, only to be surprised again when she saw Damian uproot a tree like it was nothing and swing it like it was a fucking stick

Allana: "it can't be possible!, are these guys really 3 years old?! They look like monsters..."

After a few moments thinking about these two monsters, she doesn't get discouraged, on the contrary, she becomes motivated to get stronger.

Allana:"if these guys can already do that, then imagine the people we will face in the future... I need to try harder to become even stronger!!"

After this moment of realization Allana concentrated on the fight with all the focus she had, he observed every dodge and advance that Mirage made, he also paid attention to the way Damian lured Mirage into being caught in the trap.

Allana:"How smart Dami is, knowing how to use his own lack of speed and the environment to fool Mira, but even so Mira's speed is not something that can be underestimated, it is high enough that it is very difficult for Dami to keep up with him, in addition to the agility and balance to dodge Damian's blows "

After Mirage gets stuck in the tree and receives a punch from Damian, Allana comments

Allana:"What the fuck was that?! I knew Dami was strong, but that It's stupid, being able to cross a tree as if it were a piece of paper and still make Mira fly like that, what a monster"

After this performance of strength, Allana was impressed by the strength of these two, but that didn't last long because of Mirage's counterattack, to Allana, it seemed so fast, but at the same time he was able to see the entire attack clearly, the way the Mirage used the torso attached to his arm as a distraction and how he made a giant (for his age) like Damian fly into the air with an electric kick

Allana: "incredible..."

Before Allana can say anything about Mirage's tactics, she sees Damian giving a small smile while in the air, and as soon as she notices this, Damian grabs Mirage and starts spinning like a mixer, and right after this movement the smile that was on Damian's face disappeared and was replaced by a sick face as if he was going to vomit and Mirage who was being rolled wasn't much better, even Mirage with some desperation, shocked Damian making them fall to the ground and Allana with a disappointed face speaks

Allana: "well... At least they didn't vomit"

Still watching, Allana saw the two get up and talk, noticed how dizzy they were and laughed

Allana: "ahahaha what was that?!"

After that, while they were waiting for the dizziness to pass, Allana looks at the sky and realizes that it was getting late and shouts to both of them

Allana:"HEY! YOU TWO!"

But they didn't listen, they kept looking at each other, until they shouted something that she couldn't hear, so Allana decides to go closer to call them both, but when they get close they both start to make strange movements

Allana: "What the hell are these two doing? On one side, one is doing a... dance? And the other is playing at turning into a spring"

While saying this, Allana was walking towards them, but something was bothering her, it was then that Allana paid more attention, Mirage's movements were getting faster and faster, It even seemed like there was a second Mirage behind him, but there was something even more worrying... His smile was scary and Damian's side didn't look any better, with each movement of that 'dance', it seemed like Damian was getting faster and stronger. , and as she got closer Allana realized that not only did he look like it, but he was stronger, with each movement he was making a small tremor and he also had that scary smile, seeing that the two were going too far, Allana decided to stand in the middle of their attack [a very stupid decision if I may say so] and scream

Allana:"STOP NOW, BOTH OF YOU!!"

Back to the present

When Damian and Mirage saw Allana there among them, they despaired and tried to stop or deflect the blows so as not to hurt or even kill her... and when it seemed like they were going to hit Allana, at the last moment they succeed, Damian deflects his punch and makes it hit the ground and with the impact it makes a small crater, and Mirage redirects the energy from his feet to his hands and expels it making a small explosion of electricity that makes him makes him thrown in the opposite direction of the blow, and Allana stood there in the middle, seeing her two friends lying on the ground and says

Allana: "you are-!"

Before Even though Allana could finish speaking, the two of them stood up and shouted at her with a straight face

Dami/Mira:"YOU'RE DUMB? DAMN IT!!/ARE YOU WANTING TO FUCK KILL YOURSELF?"
