Chapter 16: You almost killed me.
"Shaving? It's not difficult."
“Nice technique.”
Shave, one of the six styles of the Navy, involves stomping on the ground dozens of times in a split second to generate explosive reaction force to move at high speed, making it seem as if you have disappeared from the enemy's sight.
There is no doubt that shaving can definitely be regarded as a high-end combat skill. The instantaneous burst of movement speed can definitely make most enemies unable to react in time.
Such skills are often quite difficult to learn. Looking across the entire ocean, almost no one in the first half of the Grand Line can master such abilities. Within the navy, those who are capable of mastering the Six Styles of the Navy are often lieutenants or above.
However, such a high-end fighting skill is so simple and unpretentious in the eyes of Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
In the transparent world, when Aokiji used shaving, the movement of his body muscles was clearly revealed, and for Yoriichi Tsugakuni there was no secret at all.
And Tsugikuni Yoshiichi himself is the kind of person who can cut Muzan into more than a thousand pieces of flesh in an instant. Although he is only 12 years old after reincarnated into this world, his strength has not deteriorated at all, and his physical fitness is fully capable of supporting him to use shaving.
Therefore, the moment he saw Aokiji using the shaving technique, Yoriichi was able to replicate it perfectly and apply it in battle.
He flashed behind Aokiji and slashed at Aokiji's back with a backhanded strike. There was a big height difference between him and Aokiji. He used to chop off the head, but when it came to Aokiji, he could only barely reach Aokiji's lower back.
"Oh my!"
“It’s really surprising!”
"Have you ever learned to shave?"
Aokiji turned his head and glanced at Tsugikoku Yoriichi out of the corner of his eye and asked.
Facing Tsugikuni Yoriichi's slashing attack, he did not dodge or evade, allowing the slash to hit his back. The moment the blade touched Aokiji's body, Aokiji's back had turned into solid ice. The cold air spread quickly, instantly freezing Yoriichi's long sword, and quickly spreading to Yoriichi's arm.
Yoshiichi reacted quickly, let go of the long sword, and jumped back to create some distance between him and Aokiji.
Looking at the long sword frozen to Aokiji's back, I was speechless.
What happened to the promise to teach the Marine Six Styles? What's the point of using your Devil Fruit powers over and over again? Isn't this just bullying an honest person?
"I haven't learned it before. This is the first time I've seen it today."
Just as Yunyi was about to give up, he was already disarmed. The sparring match had barely begun, and it was already over. The natural-type Devil Fruit was simply too much for him at this stage. Even if Yunyi hadn't fully revealed his breathing technique, the result would still be the same.
For those who don't know how to use Haki, those with natural abilities are invincible. After all, not all natural abilities are like Crocodile, who can be beaten to pieces by someone with a bucket.
"Is this the first time I've seen you?" Aokiji was startled when he heard that, but his composure returned to normal in the blink of an eye. He casually took off the long sword that was frozen to his body and turned to look at the watchtower on the warship.
At this moment, in the observation tower of the Doghead warship, Garp leaned on the windowsill with both hands, watching everything happening on the deck. Behind him, Adjutant Bogart noticed Aokiji's gaze and said:
"Vice-Admiral Garp, it seems the sparring can't continue."
"That Tsugikoku Yoriichi actually used the shaving technique. Could he be..."
Garp shook his head and grinned.
"I learned how to shave just by watching. If I tell anyone about this, no one will believe it."
"But this is the fact. Before we went out to sea, I talked to Zefa, and this kid has never been exposed to shaving."
"As for before joining the navy... Haha, no, there is no such navy in the East China Sea."
"It seems that I still underestimated this brat. Not only in terms of domineering aura, but in other aspects, this kid's qualifications are also top-notch!"
"Now it seems that I need to change my training plan a little bit."
Garp was communicating with the adjutant beside him, but did not respond to Aokiji's gaze below.
After a while, Aokiji saw that Garp on the observation deck did not respond, so he withdrew his gaze and then looked at Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
This time, Aokiji carefully looked Tsugikuni Yoriichi up and down. After looking at him for a while, he threw the long sword to Yoriichi and said:
"The technique you used to sneak behind me just now is called Shave, one of the Six Styles of the Navy."
"At first, the technique I used to block your horizontal slash was called Iron Block, also one of the Six Styles of the Navy."
"Looking at how skillfully you used the razor just now, I think you have mastered it, so what about the iron block?"
Although Aokiji didn't finish his words, the strong expectation in his eyes made Yunyi understand his meaning instantly. Under Aokiji's gaze, Yunyi shook his head, spread his hands, and said:
"I'm sorry, I didn't see you use the iron. I only know that your body turned into ice when I slashed it."
"The thing that turned into ice, is it the iron block? I still don't understand."
Yoriichi pretended to be stupid and said that he knew Aokiji's devil fruit ability, and now he deliberately mistook the fruit ability for a piece of iron, which was nothing more than a cover-up.
Of course, what Yoriichi said was not a complete lie. He really didn't notice that Aokiji had used the iron block just now. With the blessing of the transparent world, Yoriichi only noticed that Aokiji's body had turned into elements. As for the iron block, he really didn't notice it.
It's obvious that flesh and blood turned into ice, but iron.
"Well"
"No, turning my body into ice is my devil fruit ability."
"You know about devil fruits, right? They're the secret treasures of the sea. After eating a devil fruit, you gain special powers, but you also lose the ability to swim."
"And I am a frozen person who ate the Ice Fruit. I am a natural type. My body can turn into ice freely. What you just saw is my devil fruit ability."
"As for the iron."
Having said that, Aokiji paused. He suddenly realized that when he used the iron block just now, he was unable to withstand Tsugakuni Yoriichi's slash at all. His body subconsciously turned into elements. It was no wonder that Tsugakuni Yoriichi did not notice that he had used the iron block.
But just as he thought of this, Aokiji's eyes became weird when he looked at Tsugikuni Yoriichi.
If his information was correct, Tsugikuni Yoriichi was only 12 years old, right? His slashing blows could actually break through his iron blocks? Aokiji knew that his Six Styles skills were not very good, and his iron blocks were not very good, but being broken by a child was shocking enough.
Aokiji hadn't realized it during the previous battle, but now after reviewing it, he suddenly felt that Tsugikuni Yoshiichi was a little scary.
"Has your teacher Zefa ever tested your Dao power? If so, how much is it?"
Aokiji suddenly asked curiously, and guessed in his heart: "With that kind of attack power just now, it must be at least one or two thousand."
"If we attack with all our strength, there will be more than 5,000. I forgot the exact number."
"Teacher Zephyr said I was weak and incompetent. If it weren't for Vice Admiral Garp leading me, I probably wouldn't be able to go out to sea."
Hearing Aokiji's question, Yoriichi lowered his head in shame.
"Oh, only five thousand?!!!" When Aokiji heard what Yoriichi said, his neck leaned forward slightly, looking stunned. Although he had expected Yoriichi to be very strong, when he really heard this number, Aokiji couldn't help but exclaimed.
When he was as old as Yuichi, he was probably only a fraction of Yuichi's age.
And 5,000 dao power can be considered outstanding among the navy. If Aokiji did not have the ability of the natural devil fruit, it would take a lot of effort for him to defeat Tsugikuni Yoriichi.
After hearing this, Aokiji finally understood why Garp asked him to teach Yoriichi Tsugakuni the Six Styles of the Navy. There were really not many people on this ship who were qualified to teach Yoriichi Tsugakuni.
By practicing combat with Yoriichi, perhaps even this natural type who is not good at physical combat can make some progress.
"Teacher Zefa is really messing around!"
"Yuichi, don't listen to what Mr. Zefa says. Your strength is actually very strong. You must hold back when sparring with others."
"Now that I think about it, if I didn't have the power of a devil fruit, I would have been injured by you with those two blows just now."
"Go change to a bamboo sword. I won't use my Devil Fruit abilities, I'll fight you with Taijutsu. I'll also demonstrate the other six styles to you."
