Just like Shifting Shadows, this platform is held up by the by the tree branches that surround it. It is separated from Shifting Shadows, but not too far away from it. It is 20 feet in diameter and about 10 feet thick, to sustain any damage done. But, there are no railings to stop anyone from falling off. So though this is the ideal place to hold a gentlemanly duel, it can still turn very fatal.
Side note: The platform is actually completely flat, there is no tree that rises through the middle.

Oda rolled backwards to his feet and spread his arms out as if he were about to dive off into a pool and then reached to touch his hands above his head, inhaling and exhaling slowly and deliberately. His arms returned to his side and balled into fist, his legs parted in a wide, strong stance. He threw a single punch forward with a sharp "Ha.". He went through each basic stance, one at a time, slowly and deliberately. There were no showy flips or rapid punches, but each movement was carefully calculated and precise. One day, the young ones may learn that speed of movement , while useful, was not as important as most might think. For every action, a appropriate reaction, for every attack, a defense, no attack was perfect, no defense absolute, speed and strength were the tools, but control paramount, with control and the proper tools, nothing would be beyond you. Paitence, diligence and serenity were more deadly then any blade.
Oda sat down with his legs crossed, exhaling one last time and closing his eyes. It was such a beautiful day, he would not mind sitting and just enjoying it for a few hours, unless something came up.
