Chapter 25: End of the First World War, World Evolution Begins
In the interlaced light and shadow, red blood spilled onto the pink sakura flowers.
The white figure in the wind was enveloped by the petals. There was a slight coolness in his clear, unwavering eyes.
This moment! This blow!
Everyone in both worlds was taken aback. Their minds went blank.
Killing! Can it be so elegant?
It was obviously a terrifying blow, but when Yuichi cast it, it was like dancing with the wind and flowers. A sword style that amazed everyone.
The most incomprehensible thing about this blow was not the terrifying power, but that no one thought killing could become so artistic. Looking at the sakura fragments falling in the picture, although they couldn't smell them, the audience could vaguely imagine the elegant fragrance of flowers.
And in that fragrance, there was a faint metallic smell of blood. Such a weird feeling was not offensive; rather, it deeply shocked everyone's heart.
From the sky, Yuichi's figure fell slowly, weightless as a feather.
Landing on the roof, Yuichi casually spun the hilt, and all the floating sakura flowers swirled and disappeared, reforming into the blade. He slowly slid Senbonzakura back into its scabbard.
Click.
The moment the katana clicked into the sheath, there was a wet splash behind him.
Might Guy, who had fallen from the sky five meters away, lay on the ground with a massive wound torn open in his chest. Blood gushed out continuously, pooling around him.
Yuichi stood sideways, the wind blowing his cloak emblazoned with the kanji for "Justice."
Turning his head to look at the dying Might Guy, Yuichi noticed a single pink petal stuck to his uniform. It dissolved into light.
At this moment, the countdown on the huge light curtain reached the final seconds.
00:03
00:02
Countless people let out a breath they had been holding.
"What a perfect man... even killing is so elegant!"
"Strong power and that perfect face... such a man is too good."
Women all over the world, looking at Yuichi's face, replayed the scene in their minds. Even women in the Ninja World were attracted to him.
Tsunade, standing at the entrance of a casino, looked at Yuichi and blushed slightly. "Men from the other world are much better than the men from the ninja world!"
"Lady Tsunade??" Shizune stammered.
The Fifth Mizukage, Terumi Mei, murmured, "Such a perfect man... he is the perfect person to marry!"
Different from the women's focus, the male Kage looked at Yuichi with fear in their eyes.
Time! Zero!
The image on the light curtain suddenly disappeared. Then, a row of large characters appeared.
[First World War: Concluded]
[Winner: Pirate World]
Immediately afterward, the ninjas in Marineford were enveloped by light falling from the sky. These captured invaders disappeared instantly.
This left Sengoku speechless. After finally catching these people from the Otherworld at the cost of many Marine casualties, they simply vanished at the end of the war. It was depressing.
The broadcast in the Ninja World ended, but the footage in the Pirate World continued to display Naval Headquarters.
[Congratulations, you have won the First World War]
[The overall power of the world is increased by 3%]
[Enhancement initiating...]
Simultaneously, in front of Yuichi, the Template System popped up a notification.
[Congratulations to Host for completing the awakening mission: Defeat Might Guy]
[Reward Obtained: Special movement step 'Utsusemi' (Permanent)]
In an instant, Yuichi's mind was filled with the technique of Utsusemi. It wasn't just a memory; his muscles seemed to gain the reflex instantly. As long as he thought it, he could perform it.
This direct sensation of gaining power made Yuichi feel extremely happy. However, he wasn't the only one feeling this way.
The whole world was evolving.
When Yuichi opened his eyes, countless specks of light appeared out of thin air wherever he looked. Faint flashes emerged in the sky, on the sea surface, the ground, buildings, and around human bodies.
The whole world seemed to be illuminated.
Yuichi quickly checked his Template System. The character awakening percentage was increasing rapidly.
50.13%
50.25%
50.38%
The numbers kept skyrocketing. It quickly broke through to 51%, and then reached 52% in a few breaths. Finally, after continuing for tens of seconds, it locked at 53%.
Yuichi could clearly feel the surge of Reiatsu in his body—a feeling of getting stronger. Unexpectedly, after increasing the awakening progress by only 3%, the Reiatsu in Yuichi's body had fully doubled.
This is only 3% progress. I wonder what it will be like to increase it further?
[Reminder: The Kidō ability will be activated when the character's awakening progress reaches 60%]
Kidō abilities... If he activated Kidō, his fighting methods would be more varied, allowing him to deal with stranger enemies.
After the surge of Reiatsu calmed down, Yuichi felt his power and Haki settle.
Boom!
Suddenly, a Vice Admiral punched the ground fiercely, his face full of excitement. "My strength has doubled! This... is this the evolution of the world?"
Sengoku squinted at the Vice Admiral. He also felt that his strength had increased, but it was far from doubled. Could it be that the extent of enhancement differed based on individual strength?
But what surprised Sengoku more was that his Devil Fruit power and Haki, which had almost reached their limits, had also increased significantly.
This is the evolution of the world?
Meanwhile, aboard the Moby Dick in the New World.
The members of the Whitebeard Pirates looked at Whitebeard, who had stood up suddenly, looking incredibly energetic.
"Pops, you are..."
Whitebeard couldn't stop laughing wildly. "Gurararara! This old man... I feel... my body seems to have suddenly returned to the state it was five years ago!"
