Chapter 18: The Scary Man, The Hidden Swordsman In Marine
Kuraigana Island.
This was the island where Dracule Mihawk, the World's Strongest Swordsman, lived.
As one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Hawkeye's swordsmanship was recognized as number one in the world. He was the man every swordsman aspired to challenge.
Now, he stood up straight, staring firmly at the huge light curtain in the sky.
Yuichi was pictured atop the Naval Headquarters building. Hawkeye stared hard at him.
Regarding the strike that had just surprised the world—perhaps others simply marveled at the amazing speed of Yuichi's blade, but as the world's number one swordsman, Hawkeye saw something different.
"The speed, strength, and posture are almost perfect!"
"Such a cut... without decades of hard training, it is impossible to achieve!"
Hawkeye was shocked.
Ordinary swordsmen pursued powerful moves or flashy techniques. However, in that strike just now, Hawkeye didn't see any tricks.
It was an unpretentious strike!
Draw, slash, sheath!
It was clean and neat, without any redundant movements, and contained no special techniques whatsoever. It was such a simple, straightforward blow that in swordsmanship, it wasn't even considered the foundation of the foundation. Anyone who could hold a knife could attack like that.
But such a basic strike, in Yuichi's hands, had amazed the entire world of swordsmanship. Even Hawkeye was deeply surprised.
"This man... how much time has he devoted to the practice of the sword to refine his technique to such a degree!"
.....
Whitebeard: "What a scary man! The speed of the shot was so fast that even I didn't see it clearly!"
While Whitebeard sighed, the 5th Division Commander on the Moby Dick, Vista of the Flower Swords, exclaimed, "It's unbelievable that a sword can be used like this!" As a swordsman, Vista was also shocked by Yuichi's technique.
.....
In Wano Country, Kaido threw his flagon aside. He looked at Yuichi on the screen, his expression cold and unchanging.
"This guy is a freak among swordsmen!"
"Without any fancy movements, just standing there, drawing a sword and striking out. It's amazing. It's a pity that such an excellent guy is a dog for the Marines!"
.....
Whole Cake Island, Big Mom Pirates.
Charlotte Katakuri, the strongest of the Sweet Commanders, folded his arms and stared at Yuichi with a frown. "Marine... since when did they have such a powerful swordsman?"
Big Mom looked at Yuichi. After her initial surprise at his performance, her eyes gradually began to look gloomy. She seemed to be afraid of something.
People all over the Pirate World were shocked by Yuichi's attack. It had never occurred to them that a swordsman could be so powerful with such basic movements.
Roronoa Zoro, aiming to become the World's Strongest Swordsman, clenched his fists tightly. "It seems that apart from Hawkeye's head, this Marine is also my target!"
If he couldn't defeat such a person, how could he bear the title of the World's Strongest?
The Pirate World was shocked by Yuichi, a relatively unknown Marine Vice Admiral. And in the Ninja World, the reaction was the same.
The ninjas in Konoha Village stood with their mouths wide open, practically able to swallow an egg. Even the Jōnin were overwhelmed by such power.
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "The people in that world seem to be very proficient in combat methods such as Taijutsu and Kenjutsu!"
A drop of cold sweat fell from Shikaku's brow. "That's true! Such a physical attack... unless it is a Jōnin who specializes in Taijutsu, the average Jōnin is far from reaching this level!"
Fourth Raikage A: "As a strong man from another world, I can't help admiring such an astonishing attack. But if it's only at this level, he can't beat the Golden Flash!"
As the Fourth Raikage who had once fought against Minato Namikaze, his proud Lightning Style Chakra Mode possessed similarly astonishing speed. Yuichi's attack just now was certainly very strong; if it were him, without activating the Lightning Style Chakra Mode, there would be no way to escape unscathed.
But the Fourth Hokage was different—he was a man who had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique. Although this otherworld man was powerful, the Raikage was still more optimistic about Minato.
Swish!
Minato's figure appeared on the roof again.
He appeared suddenly, without any warning. This stunned the people of the Pirate World.
This guy is so fast!
Minato's Transformation Technique had now been lifted. He had short blond hair, wore a Konoha forehead protector, and a haori robe with the words "Fourth Hokage" emblazoned on the back. Seeing the sunny and handsome Fourth Hokage suddenly appear, many women found themselves stunned.
Minato was now preoccupied with guarding against Yuichi. He had no choice; the incomparably fast speed of that blade had truly startled him. It seemed that this world was not devoid of people who excelled in speed.
"Such a quick slash. I was almost killed," Minato spoke.
Yuichi squinted his eyes and looked at Minato quietly. While speaking, Minato glanced at the golden flag three times. It seemed he was planning how to take the flag right in front of him.
Yuichi stared at Minato, the pale fingers of his right hand twitching slightly. But it was such a small movement that made Minato suddenly raise his guard to one hundred and twenty percent.
Cang—
A sharper sound of the sword rang out.
Armament Haki swept out along the blade in an instant, spreading like strange black smoke.
The sword flashed.
At some point, Yuichi's right hand holding the Zanpakutō, Senbonzakura, had been raised high, pointing obliquely at the sky. The smoke-like slash was already heading toward Minato.
Minato stomped the ground violently, his body jumping to the left in an instant.
The next second, the light of the blade emerged and bombarded the position where Minato had just been standing. The domineering force instantly collapsed a corner of the Naval Headquarters building.
Boom!!
The corner of the roof fell, crashing down the structure.
At this moment, Minato, having dodged the blow, became even more solemn.
Did this guy... do that on purpose?
The special kunai I left there... was crushed!
The attack was dodged, but now Minato couldn't calm down.
