For the next few days Ray passed his time honing his physique like usual though it was a bit embarassing at first for him to do all these things in front of a woman though, he would be lying to himself if he said that he didn't have an fantasy about something happening between the two of them in the process.
Needless to say Bonny who had instantly forgotten about the manner in which she was rescued by Ray the moment she saw his face became even more love struck and impressed by him when she saw his hardworking self.
"Are you even human? Clearly you're not a devil fruit user since you can swim. I have no clue on how you're able to carry so much weight with you while exercising." Bonny said to Ray when he was resting beside her.
It was just one of the few moments when they get time to converse because Ray was somewhat addicted to the feeling of working out...well anyone would be if they could physically feel their growth after each set of an exercise.
During these conversations Ray told Bonny about why he became a pirate...which was just that he wanted to do whatever he wanted without any restrictions. Whereas Bonny's reason was quite serious... She wanted to be rich and famous.
"But wouldn't becoming an actress or something be a much better option with least amount of risks to realise your dreams?" was something Ray asked her at that time to which she replies that it would be a headache to become one with her crude personality.
Coming to the conversation now happening, Ray just said "You'll see humans much stronger than the current me in the grand line who are non- devil fruit users."
"For real?!" Bonny yelped in surprise.
"Yep they train their bodies to the limit and learn the skill called haki which further enhances their ability to superhuman limits." Ray got carried away and said.
"Have you been to Grand Line before?" Bonny exclaims.
"Nope, I just heard tales from a few marine officials who came to serve at the East Blue from grand line during their retirement years." Ray said.
"I see, by the way, what exactly is this Haki? Can I learn it aswell?" Bonny asks.
"With sufficient training I believe anyone can. I'm also still learning it so I can't comment much about it." Ray said and continued "How about this? You help me in my Haki training and in return you'll understand more about it and ofcourse I'll also help you in your training when you thing you're ready for it.
"Really?! Ofcourse I'll help." Bonny said. She would have agreed even if he Ray didn't mentioned helping her later.
"Alright then, let's start now then." said and removed a handkerchief from his pants and explained the process to her "I'll be using this as a blindfold, your job is to just got me."
'Is he a masochist?' Bonny thought to herself while saying "You sure this would help?...I mean this sounds very weird."
"Yes, this is the training for Observation haki, there are three types of haki and this is one of them." Ray said as he stood up and put on his blindfold.
Bonny who was still uncertain about this had no choice but to ask again "You sure you want me to hit you?"
"Yes." Ray said and just then he was stunned by a punch right to his nose making him falter back and tear up.

*Argh*
Ray groaned as he snorted the blood out of his nose.
Seeing this Bonny couldn't help but exclaim "I'm sorry, I thought you would have dodged it..."
"It's alright, it's my fault for not telling you when to hit. For now just say that you're hitting me before launching an attack so that I'm ready also....can you reduce the power aswell." Ray said reducing the difficulty of the task so that he could adapt to it.
"Alright" Bonny said and did what was asked of her by Ray. Needless to say Ray was beaten up badly by her. By the end of an hour Ray could feel that he kind of got a hang of it and decided to pause the training so that he could contemplate on the feeling better.
Bonny agreed. She was also exhausted and was perspiring furiously by now. What surprised her was that before she could catch up on her breath the bruises causes by her attacks on Ray healed. 'He's really not normal.' she thought to herself.
"Let's start again." Ray said and Bonny could only nod to it.
They continued training like this for two weeks. By the end of the first week Ray was successfully able to dodge all of Bonny's attack without any effort so he raised the difficulty by telling Bonny to not tell him now when she was attacking him.
It was indeed difficulty but due to the training he did with Bonny earlier he was able to dodge three out of ten of her strikes leaving him bruised all over.
By the end of the second week Bonny increased the speed and strength in her strikes trying her best to hit Ray. Whenever a hit was successful she felt pleased with herself while Ray could only prepare himself to dodge the next strike while controlling his urge to curse out loud from the pain.
When they saw that the log pose still have not changed it direction Ray and Bonny who was now enjoying the feeling of one sidedly attacking someone continued their training.
Bonny's attack now almost never hitted him so he told her to change the way of her attacks. He told her to throw pebbles at her... though looking at her excited face he didn't forget to remind her to use small stones and control the speed at first...
The week of training was an absolute torture for Ray as being hit by stones was not a pleasant feeling at all. He was hit by them all over his body and if not for his body's ability to recover himself after he exerted his body he would be lying on bed.
It was not all for naught as by the end of the third week he was able to dodge all the stones throwed by Bonny at him with full speed leaving Bonny frustrated. Three weeks ago if someone had told her that she would be enjoying the feeling of the feeling of hitting Ray she would have called them crazy but now here she was totally disappointed that she won't be able to hit him now...
The log pose finally was pointing towards the next island and after doing the required arrangements they set sail towards it in the raft that was prepared by Ray.
The trees in the grand line were much sturdier than the normal trees so provided they don't meet any sea beasts or huge storms it won't be much of a problem for them while at sea.
The time spent on this island by Ray and Bonny had brought them closer and also benefited the both of them. Ray learnt to use the observation haki whereas Bonny learnt from observing him and this would help her in her journey of comprehending haki, not to mention Bonny also discovered her hidden sadistic nature during this time thanks to Ray being her punching bag.
