"Well, when you slash like that, it naturally opens up space."
Ikki shrugged and continued:
"Also, although I'm happy that you said I could obtain the position of the world's greatest swordsman with my swordsmanship, Patrick Redfield."
"But right now in this world, I'm not the only one who has mastered this swordsmanship."
"So it's still a little uncertain to judge the world's greatest swordsman based solely on sword skills."
Upon hearing this, Patrick Redfield immediately became interested.
"There is someone else who can perform that move?"
"Who is it? Is it one of your companions?"
Patrick Redfield's eyes fell on Nami, Nojiko, and even Tashigi.
After all, it was a sword move superior to his own. Even Patrick Redfield couldn't hide his curiosity.
But after seeing Tashigi's extremely admiring eyes toward Ikki, he immediately excluded her from his thoughts.
"Something like that."
"There was a Marine who studied with me before."
"She learned the technique."
After Ikki finished speaking, he waved to Patrick Redfield and walked toward the exit of the sixth floor prison.
The reward had been obtained, and he had no interest in staying here any longer.
Seeing that Ikki didn't intend to stay on the sixth floor of the prison, Magellan naturally followed him happily.
Letting such a strong and unpredictable guy like Ikki continue to stay here made Magellan feel uneasy.
Impel Down, Director's Office.
"Ikki, is the Marine you mentioned earlier Momousagi Gion?"
"She learned 'Tsubame Gaeshi' from you?"
After arriving at the office, Sadi-chan finally couldn't help asking her question.
Although she wasn't very interested in swords, she was quite interested in powerful abilities.
On the side, Tashigi, Hannyabal, and others heard Sadi-chan's question and looked over with the same curiosity.
Even Magellan, who picked up the Den Den Mushi and was about to call Marine Headquarters, was the same.
"It is indeed Gion. She's very talented and successfully mastered this move."
Ikki laughed.
"Then can I master that move? If I learn from you later, you'll teach me this technique, right?"
"Well... if you want to learn, I can guide you, but let me remind you, not everyone can master that power."
Ikki patted Sadi-chan on the shoulder and continued:
"Moreover, if you spend too much time learning 'Tsubame Gaeshi'."
"It might prevent you from learning too many other abilities."
"Perhaps the loss would outweigh the gain."
Just kidding, this was swordsmanship at the level of a Noble Phantasm.
Even Gion and Ikki himself had only mastered it through the tools provided by the system and through long-term practice.
If others could easily master 'Tsubame Gaeshi', then the name of Noble Phantasm would be too cheap.
"By the way, Director Magellan."
"How long will it take for you to help me finish coating my ship?"
Ikki raised his head and looked at Magellan, who was surprised by what Ikki had said earlier.
"It'll take a few more hours."
"Ikki, why don't you let Sadi-chan take you and your partners to the reception room?"
"I still have things to do here, so I won't entertain you personally."
Magellan gestured to the Den Den Mushi in his hand and said.
"The reception room isn't necessary."
"I'd better go back to my ship and wait."
"I'd also like to study how to teach Sadi-chan how to use a sword."
After saying that, Ikki waved to Magellan, took the lead and left the office, heading toward the Explorer.
Ikki's partners, including Sadi-chan, who had decided to study with Ikki for a period of time, naturally followed closely.
"What a powerful swordsman."
"How could Vice Admiral Gion also learn that move? Maybe Sadi-chan will really gain powerful abilities from him."
Magellan sighed and raised his hand to dial the number for Marine Headquarters.
"Really, did Ikki defeat Patrick Redfield?"
"He even cut off seastone chains with his sword skills alone."
"And Gion also masters this style of swordsmanship."
Outside the Warlord conference room, Sengoku held the Den Den Mushi in his hand and looked deeply into the conference room.
He looked at Gion, who was sitting on a chair with an indifferent expression, facing the Warlords.
"I see."
"Magellan, you did the right thing."
"Although it's a bit against the rules, Ikki is willing to guide someone from your side to learn."
"Our goal has been achieved."
"I just hope that man can really make your person grow into a powerful swordsman as he said."
"Even if it takes a little more time, that's still okay."
"That's it, Magellan."
"Watch that Ikki, and report to me in time if anything happens."
After exchanging a few words with Magellan, Sengoku hung up the Den Den Mushi and re-entered the Warlord conference room.
At this time, Hawkeye, who was sitting calmly on his chair with his arms folded, raised his head and looked at Gion.
"Patrick Redfield, the great swordsman who could once stand alongside Roger and Whitebeard."
"Ikki was able to defeat Patrick Redfield with the swordsmanship called 'Tsubame Gaeshi'."
"I wonder if Vice Admiral Gion is interested in letting me see that sword move. After all, you can perform it too."
"It just so happens that I also want to see how strong you've become after being trained by Ikki."
Hearing this, the Warlords at the scene - Bartholomew Kuma, Blackbeard, Moria, and others - stopped what they were doing and looked over curiously.
Sengoku also stopped and looked at Hawkeye with a frown.
"Mihawk, did you eavesdrop on my call?"
Sengoku was quite unhappy because he had to supervise the Warlords.
So when Magellan's call came, he didn't choose to go far, but he didn't expect that Hawkeye would extend his senses to eavesdrop on his conversation.
"I just heard the word 'Ikki', so I paid a little attention."
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, what you just discussed shouldn't be considered confidential."
Hawkeye didn't look at Sengoku; his eyes were still fixed on Gion.
