Chapter 516: Sword Intent
Marineford, the Marines Fortress, in a spacious office.
The Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, the Aokiji, was laying on a recliner, sleeping with a blindfold, showing a lazy expression.
Suddenly, he got up, took off the blindfold with a strange expression, saying, “This is…”
After he murmured, Aokiji knocked on the table, and a marine opened the door and walked in.
“Go and see what’s happening in the lounge downstairs.”
“Yes, Sir!”
……
On the side of Aokiji’s office is another admiral, Akainu.
At this time, Akainu was sitting behind the desk, dealing with some documents on his desk, then he suddenly raised his head and frowned.
“What is going on?”
“What are these bastards doing in the lounge?”
…….
Marines Headquarters, the lounge.
The two sword intents kept interwinding. Ordinary people may not be able to detect what is happening here, but people who have the Observation Haki or who are swordsmen can feel these sword intents colliding.
It felt like if the entire lounge was turned into a sea of swords!
Moreover, it’s extremely obvious that Naito’s sword intent is more powerful and has a kind of extreme domineering, which firmly suppressing Onigumo’s sword intent.
Onigumo’s sword intent was still able to resist Naito’s sword intent at first, but as time passed, the two sword intents continued to collide, and he was horrified to discover that his sword intent had been completely suppressed, and even almost got defeated!
It seems that if he lowers his defense, he might even get defeated by Naito.
“This guy…”
Onigumo stared at the indifferent Naito in front of him, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes. Such a domineering intent turned out to be possessed by a twenty-year-old boy in front of him.
After taking a deep breath, Onigumo finally took a move.
His sword intent was completely blocked, and his strength was suppressed by at least 30%. Onigumo knew that if it goes on like this, his killing intent being defeated will be his last concern, and he might not even have the chance to make a strike with his sword.
Did you ever wonder why the strong just stand there, and the weak are afraid to attack? It’s because their momentum is completely suppressing the weak and leaving them with no possibility to attack.
Strong people often only need a look to make the weak sweating, shudder, and unable to move. Even in this world, there such a thing which is Conqueror Haki, which can directly knock out weak people!
Although this was the Marine Headquarters’ lounge, and it’s not a suitable place to fight, Onigumo didn’t care anymore.
“Eight-Sword Style… Floral Whorl!”
Onigumo is a human who ate the Zoan Spider Spider Devil Fruit. It has the form of a half-human beast. After the six spider legs emerged, he held a total of eight swords and swung them at Naito.
When he waved the eight swords, dazzling rays of light gathered, and the sword aura intertwined, then energy sword cuts flew toward Naito.
The Eight Energy Sword Cuts flew toward Naito, then suddenly converged into a line, rotate, and formed a blooming petal flower!
The moment he decided to attack, Onigumo directly used his full power!
“Interesting swordsmanship.”
Seeing this technique, Naito’s eyes looked sharp, and a smug grin appeared on his face.
Facing this powerful technique, Naito didn’t retreat or try to evade. Instead, he held his Kusanagi no Tsurugi in one hand and swung it lightly.
The angle looked incredibly random and flew smoothly without any force.
Whoosh!!!
The dazzling golden light swept away instantly, slammed Onigumo’s swords energy cuts, and immediately shattered it.
The impact caused all the wooden floor to crack, exposing the stone ground under the wooden planks.
This is the Marines Headquarters, which can also be called the Marines Fortress. Naturally, it’s extremely strong. Even if though it was covered by wood, it was only a decoration, and the inside was built from stone.
This kind of stone isn’t ordinary, but another kind second, only Seastone, which is used for buildings.
Don’t consider how weak it looked in the original during the war. Such stone is as fragile as a paper under the fist of the Whitebeard. In fact, it’s sturdiness can withstand even a rain of cannonballs!
The sword energy cuts didn’t have any effect. It was easily blocked by Naito, which made Onigumo even more furious. He couldn’t believe that Naito actually had such powerful swordsmanship!
“Eight-Sword Style… Scattered Flowers!”
Suddenly, Onigumo rushed toward Naito. He who has mastered the Marine’s Rokushiki techniques was extremely fast and flashed in front of Naito instantly. With the eight swords swinging, the glow on the blade continued to flicker.
This time it was no longer energy sword cuts, but Busoshoku applied on the sword, which makes it extremely hard and sharp. The eight swords mover like wheels, but their offensive power was like a storm!
However, facing Onigumo’s eight-sword style, Naito still held his Kusanagi no Tsurugi with one hand and swing it up and down, easily blocking all attacks.
The movements were smooth and relaxed; just like Mihawk in the original, he easily blocked Zoro’s Three-Sword Style with a small knife.
“It’s really the same as the name of the move. This swordsmanship is scattered.” Observing Onigumo’s swordsmanship, Naito said.
Compared with Mihawk’s swordsmanship Onigumo was way worse. Although he used gathered a lot of energy sword cuts earlier, it was still scattered.
Using just more than a sword doesn’t make you stronger!
Like Mihawk, Naito didn’t use any special sword moves, just swung his sword casually, but the sword energy that bursts out with every swing if focused could cut everything!
Mihawk’s swordsmanship has reached the realm of a great swordsman, and Onigumo was obviously way behind.
Naito’s swordsmanship was originally weak when he first faced Mihawk, but after the fighting with him and Kizaru, his swordsmanship become strong than Onigumo!
Moreover, Naito’s sword intent was the domineering kind. As long as his swordsmanship is stronger than the opponent, even if it’s just a little, it will crush him!
Just like Naito in the past, as long as any attack can’t block his Shock Force, it will all be crushed by him, and Naito’s swordsmanship is the same!
This is the essence of his Invincible Sword Intent!
