[Voice, Action for the Straw Hats]
[Keimi stands on the deck of the ship, a small tanto in her hand. In front of her is a mannequin, reinforced with leather. She grips it tight, bringing the blade above her head and, eyes shut tight, she swings it downward.
And misses by a mile.
She falls, but catches herself on the mannequin. With the assistance of a bubble, she is back on her tail. This time, she won't miss. The same stance, the same shut eyes, and with another swing, she sticks the blade into the mannequin's shoulder.
And when her eyes open to see what she has done, she gasps, releasing the blade's hilt and falling onto her rear in terror.]

What... kind of weapon do you use... if you don't really want to hurt someone?

[Like that weight of hers that sunk to the bottom of the ocean after she died in a fight.]

... Because everyone else has powers, and strength, and can put up a fight, but you just have to wait in the sidelines.
