"Beast Breathing Tenth Fang: Whirling Fangs!" The swordsman shadow of Hashibira Inosuke quickly rotated the two swords in his hands to form a shield composed of blades to block the attack from Kalifa.
However, possessing Marine Six Styles, she circled directly behind Hashibira Inosuke from the air and kicked him away using Rankyaku.
The sword shadow of Hashibira Inosuke, who suffered heavy damage, collapsed and turned into streams of energy that merged into Kalifa's body.
With the influx of energy, Kalifa was obviously stunned. Then she closed her eyes and carefully felt the sudden extra knowledge in her mind.
"Marine Six Styles... I didn't expect that the person Ikki invited back would have the power of Marine Six Styles." Vivi looked at Kalifa's figure with a hint of envy in her eyes.
"Isn't this good? With Kalifa here, we can ask her for experience and try to learn Geppo as soon as possible." The corners of Nojiko's mouth raised, and she watched Kalifa open her eyes again and walk out of the arena with a smile on her face.
"Ikki, you really surprised me. You didn't tell me that I could gain swordsmanship experience by defeating that guy. Although this method called 'Beast Breathing' seems too barbaric and not suitable for me." Kalifa pushed up her glasses and looked at Ikki in surprise.
"Don't be ungrateful, Kalifa. Beast Breathing has the power to sense the surrounding environment. If you can master this power, it may be able to guide you to awaken Observation Haki, and in the future, it may even allow you to reach the pinnacle of Observation Haki. And the destructive power of Beast Breathing is also quite considerable. Isn't it just right for you, who has been exposed to physical arts since childhood?" Ikki said with a smile.
"Beast Breathing Seventh Form: Spatial Awareness... this move is indeed very unique." Kalifa nodded. Although she wasn't able to use it during the battle with Hashibira Inosuke's sword shadow, after accepting the power of Beast Breathing, she naturally had some understanding of this technique.
"You can directly gain swordsmanship experience by defeating the swordsman's shadow. I now somewhat believe that you can get a fleet full of great swordsmen. But... after knowing these secrets, I don't think I will be able to leave your ship in the future." Kalifa raised her head and looked at Ikki seriously.
"What, you still want to leave?"
"No, you misunderstood, Ikki. I have nowhere to go now, and you saved me before. I will abide by the agreement and integrate into the Explorer."
"That's good, otherwise, I would have to consider whether to let you see the power of the two swords in your hands."
"The power of the swords in my hand?"
Ikki smiled, raised his hand and snapped his fingers. The next moment, the two swords in Kalifa's hands emitted a burst of silvery white light.
The sudden appearance of bright light made Kalifa unconsciously raise her hands to cover her eyes, and her body became subconsciously on guard. On the other hand, Nami, Nico Robin and others who had gained experience stood there calmly.
"Where is this place?" After a few seconds, the bright light dissipated, and the surrounding area turned into a lonely wasteland.
"A place to show off the power of Katen Kyōkotsu in your hands." Ikki laughed.
"Katen Kyōkotsu?" Kalifa frowned and looked at the two swords in her hand. "Aren't they Oto and Kogarashi?"
"That was before. When I got them, they had new names." Ikki waved his hand, and Katen Kyōkotsu immediately rose from Kalifa's hand and flew forward.
Kalifa looked along the path of Katen Kyōkotsu and found that the two swords had fallen into the hands of a middle-aged man wearing a pink embroidered haori coat and a straw hat on his head.
"Is he... also a sword shadow?" Kalifa looked at Ikki suspiciously.
"Kyoraku Shunsui, this is the man's name. Katen Kyōkotsu was originally his sword. Take a good look, Kalifa, these two swords are the power you should really master. When you fully master them, you'll be able to fight even a Marine Admiral." Ikki looked at Kyoraku Shunsui's figure, and his expression gradually became serious. (T/N: He is too OP)
Knowing the secret of Katen Kyōkotsu, he deeply understood the power of this sword. If mastered well, it could even easily kill people who were stronger than oneself, even without using Bankai.
Seeing Ikki's serious expression, Kalifa swallowed and followed his gaze.
At this moment, a middle-aged man holding two pistols appeared directly in front of Kyoraku Shunsui. The moment he appeared, the middle-aged man raised his hand, pointed at Kyoraku Shunsui and pulled the trigger.
BANG!
A blue beam of energy appeared in front of Kyoraku Shunsui almost instantly. Kyoraku Shunsui's eyes narrowed, and he kicked off the ground and jumped into the air. Two long swords stood in front of him, with a smile on his lips.
"Flower Wind Rage and Flower God Roar, Heavenly Wind Rage and Heavenly Demon Sneer, Katen Kyōkotsu!"
After the words fell, Kalifa was surprised to find that the appearance of the two swords in Kyoraku Shunsui's hands had changed dramatically. The original slender blades became two black swords, one long and one short.
"Bushōgoma!" Kyoraku Shunsui swung his sword, striking out spinning sword energy like a spinning top, and attacked the middle-aged man with two guns.
"Swinging sword energy? It's somewhat similar to Ikki's Zangetsu. Is that the power of Katen Kyōkotsu?" Nico Robin looked at Ikki curiously and asked.
"That's just Kyoraku Shunsui's swordsmanship, not the power of Katen Kyōkotsu. Overall, Katen Kyōkotsu is a sword that turns children's games into reality. As long as you step into the scope of Katen Kyōkotsu's abilities, you are forced to participate in the game. All the rules are set by Katen Kyōkotsu. If you win in the game, you will survive, and if you lose, you will naturally die, even if you are the master who uses Katen Kyōkotsu."
Ikki turned to look at Kalifa and continued:
"So, this sword must be handed over to a person who is good at formulating tactics and is extremely smart. But don't worry Kalifa, this is not a completely fair and just game. After all, the enemy doesn't know the rules of the Katen Kyōkotsu games. And users can change the game type anytime and anywhere. Anyway, watch carefully. Kyoraku Shunsui will fully demonstrate the power of Katen Kyōkotsu with that Primera Espada, Starrk."
After Ikki finished speaking, Kyoraku Shunsui suddenly rushed toward Starrk from high in the air.
"Takaoni!"
