Chapter 10: Mihawk
~Third POV~
As Alex has finished messing with the memories of the three assassins, he left the area via teleport away as to not draw unwanted attention.
Although with some minor medical knowledge from Lucci he was able to have better use of [Neuron Control] it still left some unwanted damage to their nerves that may or may not recover from.
With that Alex spent an entire week on the island to enjoy the view of the area as he wanted to enjoy some of the food and culture in the area.
Alex didn't bother to meet with Franky as he didn't want to mess too much with the One Piece world than he already did but he did restock himself buying a lot of food from the stores in Water 7 into his inventory.
During the week Alex made sure to use the Six Powers in secret away from anyone viewing him as well as listening.
As Alex repeated the steps of muscle memory of Lucci he was able to perform all of them with some effort put in as he didn't originally have them before till he tried it out.
Geppo (Moonwalk), Tekkai (Iron Body), Rankyaku (Tempest Kick), Soru (Shave), Shigan (Finger Pistol), and Kami-e (Paper Arts).
Using those six techniques made Alex be able to use them thanks to the three assassins and especially Lucci as he smirks that he now has the Rokugan (Six King Gun).
Although Alex could only use this technique about five times is his limit with his strength before he collapses down from the strain of the move itself.
But that was why he stayed in Water 7 for a week so that he can get a better feel of these techniques for his own use adding Kami-e to his reaction time with lighting made him a better dodger.
Adding his devil fruit, the Goro Goro no Mi to the Six Powers has only made them extremely dangerous in combat with them having lighting speed as a base.
But most importantly he also obtained the skill of [Seimei Kaikan] from Lucci learning the steps and skills required to control one's own body.
[Seimei Kikan] allows the user to completely control all of their body parts, even parts that cannot normally be controlled, such as hair.
Using this skill Alex could potentially use it to transform into a different form using his natural Logia state so long as he controls his bodily functions but will need time to adjust the control of his body.
As the week was coming to an end Alex thought about what else to go to before he decides to finally to another world.
Those thoughts consisted of finally going to Kuraigana Island at that time when Mihawk had made himself a home in that area.
Kuraigana Island is a dark and gloomy place somewhere in the Grand Line. It was once the home of the now fallen Shikkearu Kingdom.
The forested island is relatively deserted except for some ruins.
Amongst its landscape, the island possesses unique hills this island is also the residence of the Warlord of the Sea, Dracule Mihawk.
~Alex POV~
Ah…
Now that was a good meal at this restaurant it truly is.
Noticing that the waitress in the Water 7 building of the restaurant was coming nearby I already brought some of my Berri out to pay the young lady, "Here you go miss tell the chief of this place that the food here was great!"
The waitress gets Berri to pay for the food and the plates that are empty as she says to me with a friendly smile, "Thank you very much sir and please have a good say. I'll be sure to tell the chief about your complements to the food."
After finishing eating at the restaurant I went ahead and left the area as I am walking down the streets of this island.
As much as I like to continue more in this world I might as well start heading off to another island soon.
I think it's time to train in my swordsmanship I should thank Kaku for his extensive knowledge of it with the basic and advanced forms.
It was time to begin my path to use the Thunder Breathing Style in this world.
Taking out my phone I still have my data from the previous world as I look up all the forms needed to make it work.
With my superhuman strength, it will be a matter of time before I could get ready in actual combat.
[First Form: Thunderclap and Flash] - The swordsman unsheathes their blade, dashes forward at blinding speeds and decapitates the opponent in a split second, reminiscent of Iaijutsu.
[Six Fold] - An extension of the Thunderclap and Flash technique performs the Thunderclap and Flash technique six times in quick succession while slightly augmenting the power and speed of his dashes.
[Eight Fold] - An extension of the Thunderclap and Flash technique performs the Thunderclap and Flash technique eight times in quick succession while slightly augmenting the power and speed of his dashes.
[God Speed] - An extension of the Thunderclap and Flash technique is the fastest version of the technique, so fast that it reaches subsonic speeds and even an Upper-Rank Demon with extrasensory perception couldn't react in time to evade or block.
[Kiwami] - An extension of the Thunderclap and Flash performs an Iajutsu slash and goes into the stance of the First Form, unleashing the original technique after.
[Second Form: Rice Spirit] – the user unleashes five electrified arching slashes all in a single moment.
[Third Form: Thunder Swarm] – the user surrounds the enemy with powerful waves of electricity and sword slashes that slice up the enemy in all directions.
[Fourth Form: Distant Thunder] – the user generates powerful lightning strikes in several directions with his blade from a far distance.
[Fifth Form: Heat Lightning] – the user unleashes a powerful ranged electrified sword slash upwards that burns the flesh of his opponent.
[Sixth Form: Rumble and Flash] - One of the most powerful Thunder Breathing techniques, that the user releases a series of strong ranged electricity attacks that strike his opponent from multiple directions.
[Seventh Form: Honoikazuchi no Kami] - Thunder Breathing's most powerful technique and the personal creation of Zenitsu Agatsuma. The user blade takes the form of a bright yellow dragon that seemingly emanates electric sparks and lightning as he dashes forward at blinding speeds surpassing his Godspeed technique and decapitates the opponent. The speed required to perform this technique was so immense it burned the air around Zenitsu and caused his haori to be ripped to shreds.
Smirking at these skills that I read on my phone I can tell that the user legs must be strong for it to work luckily for me I can work with that.
Add my strength with my [Seimei Kikan] then it would be a matter of time to train my swordsmanship.
Going around this place I immediately went inside my rented hotel room for the morning as I think back to what else I need…
"Slam."
Slamming my fist in my hand I had an idea of what skill to get next or more specifically a book something that is useful, "Oh! Yeah, there is actually another martial art skill I could get is the Hasshoken or better known for the [Eight Impacts Fists]. Those skills would certainly be handy."
Yeah!
As stated by Gatz, this fighting style allows the user to control vibrations around their limbs to generate shock waves.
The shockwave is powerful enough to destroy a metal shield or defeat a strong man easily. Sai also claimed that these attacks are unblockable and reverberating, causing defenses to shatter.
The only drawback is that the shockwaves can be countered by a significant amount of force, as Sai's shockwaves were countered by Ideo's explosive punches, and Chinjao's every shockwave was countered during his fight with Luffy in Block C.
But it will come in handy as it can be used defensively plus maybe if I master it I can use it to unlock my Emission technique from my [Armament Haki] maybe that is the right direction to follow.
Getting myself as I'm standing up getting ready to leave as well as get something, "Alright, System make sure to travel the Hasshoken skill book of the Chinjao Family martial arts into my inventory and take me to Kuraigana Island."
[Notice: Now deducting 5,000 – 35,000 = 30,000 MTP.]
[Travel: Hasshoken skill book of the Chinjao Family martial arts traveling… now!]
[Notice: Now deducting 5,000 - 30,000 = 25,000 MTP]
[Travel: Host is traveling to the Kuraigana Island traveling… now!]
Next thing I see I was now in a gloomy area viewing the place as I see that the people who used to live here are long gone.
Now that is interesting, but I was more concerned with the animals are surrounding me with weapons.
A humandrill is a type of mandrill that Roronoa Zoro encountered in Kuraigana Island.
They are highly intelligent creatures capable of imitating humans so much that they will mimic any trait they witness scary creatures really just one of the humandrills even used spit to try to heal its wounds, which is a folklore remedy.
If they were to see peace, they would become pacifistic creatures; however, nine years ago, they witnessed a war on Kuraigana Island, causing them to learn how to wield weapons and become bloodthirsty warriors.
As stated by Mihawk himself, the only reason why humans are dominant over beasts, despite the latter's physiological advantages over the former, is because people have the capacity to learn and improve with these advantages in the possession of beasts, they become more dominant.
But that makes them the perfect creatures for me to fight against them using my Shusui I began to practice the Breathing Thunder Style as I put my skill book in my inventory, "Let's hope that the knowledge that I go from Kaku will be useful for me to use and Shusui… it feels heavy for some reason? Is it because of lack of experience perhaps?"
Shaking my head no I saw the humandrill began to attack me as I close my eyes and focus my senses and control my muscles using the [Seimei Kikan] on my legs as I tighten the grip of my blade as I think to myself as I breathe in, 'Breath~~~… sigh… [First Form: Thunderclap and Flash] …'
Next thing I felt I quickly rushed over to the humandrill that had armor as I managed to cut through it, but the monkey survived as I sensed it was still kicking damn…
I guess I have a long way to go before I could be a better swordsman and a better martial artist in the process.
As I kept my eyes on the beast, I made sure to keep my [Observation Haki] on viewing these beasts till the one I saw before me was cut down by a green energy cut.
And frankly, I knew where this cut was from in the anime.
Viewing up where the attack came from, I look up to see the man I really shouldn't mess with…
Damn, I didn't think I would meet the number 1 swordsman in the world right here this soon.
Dracule 'Hawk Eyes' Mihawk.
Mihawk is a tall lean man with black hair, a short beard, mustache, and sideburns that point upwards his nickname comes from his strangely colored red eyes, which resemble a hawk's eyes.
He wears black and red ornate clothing with a crucifix pendant that hides a little dagger, which gives him the appearance of a Spanish swordsman.
His attire consists of a wide-brimmed black hat decorated with a large plume, and a long, open black coat with no shirt underneath, with red, flower-patterned sleeves and collar.
He wears white pants held up by a decorated belt and tucked inside overly large boots in comparison to his leg size, and his signature blade Yoru on his back.
He looks very scary and intimidating as he says at me in an unamused voice as he sounds serious towards me, "Tell me traveler… what are you doing on my home with the fabled Shusui in your hands as you are no Swordsman…"
I'm so fucked now.
