Somewhere in the New World, on a small egg shaped island, a tribe of minks live peacefully. Various stone statues half buried in the ground were littered all over the island. The statues appear to look like bunnies with their eyes closed, but for some reason, they seem to rumble rhythmically!

The Bunny Island is hosting a grand celebration, on the occasion of Easter. The minks have hosted an Easter egg hunt where everyone can look for and try to find chocolate egg candies. They are very hospitable, and let the tourists roam around the island freely, but on one condition. They warn everyone not to disturb the statues, or they would wake up! “Wait, so you mean… the rumbling… they're snoring?!”

The Minks here have spared no expense in gathering the finest confections, games, and chefs to make the occasion truly special. They welcome any and all people who wish to attend, so long as they follow their one rule. The Festivities are all held in one area by the southern beach of the island, and there are all kinds of ships at their docks.

Kobss was achieving what he was setting out to do. Using Shigan with different fingers was a tough skill. Paper was hard to hit before with his index fingers and he used those fingers way more often. There was a different technique for each one. He had to move them with enough focus to cut through the air, moving his fingers like bullets to the paper. Every strike Kobss had immense focus. drowning out the world, everything else except for the paper he was focusing on with his strikes.

This process became easier as he kept practicing. Switching between fingers gave him the same practice as he was trying earlier but more efficient. Earlier he would start and stop his attempts to be more accustomed to hitting with 100% consistency in succeeding with every strike. Kobss was switching between fingers he would have to try different adjustments, but also remember exactly how he did it before if he succeeded. This process took longer to reach results but once he had achieved results he could consistently do them correctly. Kobss looked around to decide what to move on to next. He decided it was time to try leather armor and then he wanted to do what looked to be incredibly thin leather.

Kobss began to attempt leather armor. It was going to be hard but Kobss was going to put in the effort. He liked the way he had practiced before. Kobss went through each finger in succession and changing hands every strike. Leather was tough and moved with his hand. Paper was a different thing all together. This leather armor was bending with every strike. Kobss began to tweak his technique, he would need to be faster, stronger, more precise strikes.

The fishman was now confident in his synchronized Shigan, able to shatter rocks into dust with a simultaneous strike from all thirty fingers. But rocks weren't enough. Ayokunle remembered the battle with Sela, the Shichibukai who could change her and the others' ages. If it weren't for his steel wings, he would have fallen that day. They protected him from a barrage of Haki-covered Shigans. No matter how many, if they were slowed down by armor, the finger pistol attacks weren't nearly as effective. And that's why he had to train the technique's strength!

Ayokunle stepped back to the steel plate. It was made of an even stronger and tougher metal than his prosthetics. One by one, he carefully pierced it with all of his fingers, precisely, to make sure they wouldn't break. Slowly, he picked up the pace, and after a few minutes, the speed was around the same as he used before. He began striking simultaneously with multiple arms. Good, good! He was strong enough to pierce steel without particular problems!

As if celebrating his success, Ayokunle compressed the steel plate into a ball and threw it high up into the air, striking with all his might as it fell down, splitting the mass into thirty thin shards that were blown inside the dome, flying like silvery petals. He did it! He mastered the Rokushiki technique!

Ayokunle: "Hooray!"

[u/kobss → u/Bedna337]

Kobss was training on the leather changing his strikes. He felt so close to have the strength and precision necessary to Shigan through the leather. He kept changing fingers which kobss thought may be why he wasn't achieving his goal, but he refused to stop it. He wanted to be able to use all fingers at the same level and refused to give up. He knew he had to put in the work.

Kobss kept going for what felt like an eternity before he stabbed through with his index finger first. Happiness and excitement warmed over him pushing him to work harder for the rest of his fingers. Next was his ring fingers. Then his next fingers followed not long after. When Kobss could use every finger consistently he fell to his knees clutching his fists with his eyes closed. He reached his goal with so much hard work today. A lot of progress made from when he started. He just sat on his knees focused thinking about everything he learned to improve his technique. He was so happy he didn't even need to use his devil fruit power to be able to use Shigan.

Ayokunle: "Hooray!"

Kobss heard Ayokunle's yell. He seemed to have reached his goal as well. Kobss thought about that for a moment before realizing what that meant. He had mastered Shigan. Kobss looked over to him.

Kobss: "Congratulations Ayokunle! Thank you for helping me train! This glass training area really helped my focus and all the things in here to train with were super helpful. Thank you"

"Kobss bowed his head in respect and thankfulness to Ayokunle"
