Chapter 24: Super High-Speed Punches, Morning Peacock
Might Guy, having leaped into the air, held his fists at his waist.
This reminded Yuichi of Might Guy's signature technique.
Exactly! Let's see who is stronger: the Eight Inner Gates' technique or my Senbonzakura!
On Might Guy's fists, force seemed to pull the surrounding airflow inward.
Fifteen seconds remained before the countdown ended.
Now that the World War was coming to a close, the battles and confrontations elsewhere were no longer the focus. In both worlds, countless eyes were glued to Yuichi and Might Guy on the roof.
The people of the Pirate World watched Might Guy intently. The attack launched by this "ninja" at the final moment must be an extremely powerful blow; otherwise, he wouldn't have waited until the last second.
Everyone swallowed hard, holding their breath, staring at the light curtain.
In the Ninja World, people focused on Yuichi. How would the strongman from the other world deal with the final attack of Konoha's Blue Beast? As long as Guy defeated him, they could grab the golden flag. Victory would be theirs.
At this moment, no one questioned whether the fusion of the two worlds was real or not. All people wanted was for their own world to win.
"Morning Peacock (Asa Kujaku)!!"
Swish Swish Swish Swish!!
Suddenly, Might Guy swung his fists wildly.
With the ultra-high-speed movement, dazzling afterimages of his fists appeared and vanished in an instant. Might Guy punched so fast his hands became invisible.
All that came into view was a series of explosive flames. Fireballs, created by friction with the air, rained down from the sky like a swarm of meteors!
Speed! It was blindingly fast!
The swaying fireballs all fell toward Yuichi.
In an instant, there was an extremely dazzling blaze on the roof. The friction from the high-speed punches ignited the air, creating flames that turned into a barrage of attacks.
But at this moment, the picture presented made everyone mesmerized. The flames spread, opening slowly bit by bit. Like a paper fan, the fire raining from the sky gathered in front of Yuichi.
It looked as though a peacock was spreading its tail above Yuichi's head; the flames were like the eyes on the feathers—dazzling!
Simultaneously, they flocked to Yuichi with endless murderous intent.
It was an amazing scene.
The moment it emerged, Whitebeard stood up abruptly, staring at the picture in the light curtain without saying a word. Surprise was written all over his face.
What surprised him was not just the power of the blow, but that such a move was as beautiful as a painting.
Kaido, Big Mom, and even Shanks were completely shocked. They had never seen such a brilliant attack. At the moment of killing the enemy, it displayed such a beautiful scene.
"Flame attacks generated by high-speed punching! What a crazy idea, but I like it! Hahaha! An attack like a beast!" Kaido roared.
"What a guy, to be able to create such an attack!" Big Mom exclaimed.
"Are there ninjas who specialize in fighting skills?" Shanks wondered. The Four Emperors were overwhelmed by the Morning Peacock.
The Ninja World was reacting the same way. Even the ninjas of the Five Great Nations were stunned by Might Guy's picturesque attack.
Taijutsu! Is it possible to achieve this level?
Might Guy's student, Rock Lee, was in tears, excited and worried about his teacher at the same time. Given the injury on his chest, the pain the teacher must be enduring to use such a powerful move was unimaginable.
At this moment, ninjas were standing on almost every roof in Konoha. Even Naruto Uzumaki was looking up at the sky.
"Bushy-brow Sensei... to be so strong..."
Might Guy's demeanor made the Konoha's civilian, who usually thought little of him, stare in disbelief. Was this really the man they saw every day? He was obviously old, yet he shouted about youth like an idiot uncle all the time!
The scene of the peacock spreading its tail lasted only for a short moment, but it would be deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone who saw it. How could such a stunning scene be easily forgotten?
As the clusters of flames fell, Yuichi faced the attack.
The Zanpakutō in his hand did not wave. Holding the long sword, his calm eyes slanted toward the ground, showing no fluctuation.
Facing the peacock that shocked countless people in two worlds, Yuichi was the calmest one. There was a piercing coldness in his gaze. Even through the screen, one could feel this strange surge of cold light.
Jingle!!
The flames fell and the light shone, turning Yuichi's face red. There was no emotion on his handsome face—only indifference.
When everyone was anxious, Yuichi moved.
Invisible fluctuations spread. At this moment, everyone in the entire Naval Headquarters—Marine soldiers, fighting ninjas, Kakashi, Minato, Anko, Sengoku, Aokiji, Kizaru—all stopped at the same moment.
A sudden, terrifying pressure fell on each of them. An invisible sense of oppression erupted from the roof of the Naval Headquarters building.
A white light flashed on the light curtain. Pink sakura blossoms floated in everyone's eyes.
"Scatter..."
"Senbonzakura."
The sakura flowers fell. It was Yuichi's sword. The blade in Yuichi's hand, blown by the wind, dissolved into petals like blooming cherry blossoms.
They floated away!
As this puzzling scene appeared, Yuichi finally moved.
Formless Reiatsu (Spiritual Pressure) haunted Yuichi's body. He soared into the air without any visible leverage, and countless petals broke through the flames.
Yuichi headed straight toward Might Guy.
Hands up! The sword passed!
His pale fingers held the hilt, now without a blade, and he simply stabbed lightly forward.
Puff...
Blood and sakura flowers bloomed together, scattered by the wind.
When the two figures intersected, the roar stopped abruptly.
