Chapter 503: Swordsmanship And Haki
Dressrosa, in the palace.
Doflamingo, one of the seven Shichibukai, was sitting there resting one leg on the other while reading the newspaper with an evil expression.
âFuffuffuffuffu, a tie with Mihawk, isnât this a bit too much? He probably didnât fight him seriously.â
âDoffy, do you want to try and contact him?â Trebol squirmed in with his disgusting nose, then wriggled to Doflamingoâs side, and said, âEven if Mihawk didnât fight seriously, this guy shouldnât be weak, if we can recruit him to our familyâŠâ
Doflamingo put down the newspaper then said, âIt wonât be easy. This guyâs appearance was out of thin air. Let others try it first. Whether this guy is strong or not, we will have to wait for a bit more to know.â
âFuffuffuffuffu, this era is getting more and more chaotic, and I have some itchy hands.â
âŠ..
The first half of the grand line.
Alabasta, Baroque Works, the sand alligator, Crocodile, was reading the newspaper with a cigar in his mouth.
âA newcomer as strong as Mihawk? This kind of nonsense can also be on the headlines?â
Crocodile seemed irritated. Whether Mihawk fought seriously or not, the fact that this news reached the newspaperâs headlines made him lose it. Such information will make everyone think that taking on one of the Shichibukai is easy.
âHuh! It seems that Mihawk has lost his spirit. Itâs better if he already withdrew from Shichibukai and leave his place before someone comes and claim it.â After a cold snort, Crocodile threw the newspaper into the trash can.
âŠâŠâŠ
In the second half of the Grand Line, an Unknown Island.
Itâs now twenty years after the start of the great piratesâ era. Twenty years have passed since Rogerâs death, the pirate king, two years before Luffy went out to the sea. Fire Fist Ace has reached the new world around this time.
After the battle with Mihawk, Naito, who had shaken the entire world, stayed on a small island, sitting on the edge of a cliff.
Ninety-nine percent of Naitoâs power was consumed in the Void, but with the remaining one point and his insufficient swordsmanship, he managed to tie with Mihawk!
Mihawk is worthy of being the worldâs greatest swordsman. Heâs at the very top. Naito didnât know how strong he really is, but it is estimated that heâs stronger than an Admiral. Otherwise, Zoroâs goal in the Original would be too small.
However, even if Mihawk is stronger than an Admiral, he wonât be way stronger, and there are also admirals stronger than others, although the difference is small.
Whether itâs Mihawk, an Admiral, or even one of the Yonko, these people were all at the top. The Yonko might be stronger than the Admirals, but theyâre also not that stronger.
Naito himself doesnât care much about who is stronger. Heâs only concerned with his own strength and his full recovery.
His strength is comparable to that of an admiral, and he only needs to recover a little bit of it to become above everyone else.
âIt seems that this gonna take a bit longer than Iâve predicted. The recoveryâs rate is relatively slow.â
Feeling the situation in his body, Naito murmured, but he didnât worry about anything. Even though he lost 99% of his power, he still had enough to stand on the very top of this world.
Even if Naito didnât have a trace of power left, non one could hurt him at all. You must know that even the power of the Chaotic Void couldnât harm his body.
There is no need for Naito to do anything. His body was recovering on its own. It was just like a person who has exhausted all of his energy. And all that he needed to do is rest for a while and let his body slowly recover.
Although the battle with Mihawk was terrifying, Naito didnât consume any power. Unless it was the kind of space-shattering technique, it wouldnât consume much energy.
âSwordsmanship, this kind of technique is actually very useful.â
Recalling the previous analysis and knowledge of swordsmanship, Naitoâs eyes flickered slightly, and he couldnât help but mutter to himself.
Although the swordsmanship in this world is strong, even someone like Mihawk can hardly shake Naito, but how it uses the personâs pure physicality to release a strong attack looked a lot like Naitoâs style.
If the swordsman is strong enough, he could even launch an extremely powerful slash without consuming much energy, which is very useful.
âSword Glow, Sword Pressure, Sword Intent, Sword Domain.â
The field Naito is standing on is too high. He doesnât need to start from the most basic swordsmanship. He can already infer the entire realm of the sword.
After the battle with Mihawk, Naito began to understood what Swordsmanship is.
The lowest-level is the Sword Glow, and also the threshold of a swordsman. After stepping to it, holding an ordinary sword is enough to cut steel.
And by comprehending the Sword Pressure, you can send out that kind of terrifying sword aura attack, powerful to the extreme, and with practice, you can even condense the sword energy and launch it like Mihawk did.
Further up is the unique sword intent of each individual.
Everyone has a different Sword Intent, such as the Flowing Water Style of the former swordsman Yamishi, And the Flower Sword Intent of Vista, the Fifth Division Captain of the Whitebeard Pirate Crew, and so on.
And the last is the Sword Domain that itâs formed by fusing the sword glow, the sword pressure, and the sword intent altogether.
The sword domain is not an existing domain or field. In fact, itâs simply the range that your sword can reach or the range that you can perfectly control in it your sword aura.
In this area, you can cut everything you want to cut!
Naito quickly relied on his power to directly comprehend the sword intent, then reversely reasoned, and learned the sword glow and the sword pressure, but the sword domainâs step wasnât so easy.
Moreover, Naito knew in his heart that, with his physical strength, once the sword light, the sword pressure, and the sword intent were utterly integrated into the sword domain, it would far exceed the Mihawkâs sword domain. Without using any other powers, relying solely on his swordsmanship, he might even cut the space!
In terms of swordsmanship, both sword glow and sword intent need to be refined.
As for the other powers, Naito was also very interested in learning the Observation Haki and the Armament Haki.
Naito felt that the Observation Haki worked the same way as his Ultra Perceive, so he managed to learn it quickly.
But this wasnât the case for the Armament Haki.
To be precise, Naito can already use the Armament Haki, but it was so difficult to control because his Armament Haki was actually too strong!
The Armament Haki is a power related to the body, and Naitoâs body is so powerful, immortal, and even ever-changing!
Armament Hakiâs strength with such a body is almost unbelievable, and because of this, itâs difficult to control.
At this moment.
On the edge of a cliff, a terrible aura was surging from all over Naitoâs body. This was the power of the Armament Haki that was almost fully condensed!
Because it was too powerful, Naito couldnât control it perfectly, and no matter how many times he tried, he just couldnât fully condense it.
However, Naito could feel that even in such an unfinished state, his Armament Haku wasnât inferior to Mihawkâs!
What an incredible scene!
Itâs easy to learn the Armament Haku, but itâs difficult to control. As for the last of the three, the Conquerorâs Haki, Naito has never seen it, and he couldnât understand how it works.
However, in Naitoâs opinion, the Conquerorâs Haki should have the same effect as his Spiritual Shock. As long as he sees the Conquerorâs Haki with his own eyes, perhaps he can analyze it and learn it.
âThe Conquerorâs Haki, although itâs not easy to see, Iâm sure that Iâm gonna encounter a lot of people who can use it, at least Iâm sure that the Yonko can use itâŠâ Naito suppressed his Armament Haki, then he looked to the distance.
Looking at the far horizon, Naitoâs brows suddenly raised out of surprise, then he smirked.
âInteresting. Why is this guy here? Is it because of me?â
âAdmiral of the Marines⊠Kizaru.â
