Chapter 109: Demonic Disintegration? That is My Youth!
After a round of arguing.
It finally ended with Sengoku's defeat.
No matter what Sengoku said.
Even bringing up Luffy, who went out to sea to be a pirate and got a bounty, to attack Garp.
Garp remained unmoved.
Finally, Sengoku helplessly gave up on making Garp chase Lister.
"Oh? I seem to have forgotten something, there's something I didn't do!! Garp, it's all your fault, you old bastard!" Sengoku suddenly realized there was something he hadn't instructed, but for a moment he couldn't recall what it was.
In the end, he vented his anger directly on Garp.
"What does it have to do with me? You're obviously old and confused, can't remember things, and take it out on me!" Garp didn't indulge Sengoku either, retorting directly.
"Hmph, I'll settle accounts with you later!" Sengoku glared at Garp grumpily.
Then, he began to consider whether to increase Lister's bounty.
After all, he made Aokiji suffer a crushing defeat and return in low spirits!
A mere two hundred million Berries bounty couldn't reflect Lister's danger.
Also Nami and the others, their bounties should also be raised.
However, after thinking about it.
Sengoku felt that directly increasing the bounty would seem somewhat abrupt, and the timing wasn't suitable.
After all, Aokiji caused such a big commotion.
It wasn't necessarily unnoticed.
At this time, if Lister's bounty was released directly.
If someone linked the two things together.
They might discover the fact that Aokiji was defeated by Lister.
If this news spread.
It would undoubtedly be a blow to the Marine's reputation.
Thinking about it.
Sengoku suppressed the urge to increase Lister's bounty.
Leaning back in his chair.
He sighed!
On the hundred-mile glacier.
Aokiji sat on an ice chair.
Blowing in the northwest wind.
Desolate.
"When will the ship Mr. Sengoku called arrive!"
Money Pirates.
After replenishing energy.
Lister lay on a beach chair.
Summarizing today's battle.
"If my Physique is eighty-five, then Aokiji's Physique is at least over 95. There is some gap between us."
"In terms of foundation, I have only cultivated for less than three months. Although assisted by Super Comprehension, I lack some accumulation. Compared to strong ones like Aokiji who have cultivated for decades, I'm lacking quite a bit."
"Regarding Haki, although my Busoshoku is also slightly lacking, fortunately, I mastered Ryuo in advance, otherwise, today's battle would have been difficult."
"Kenbunshoku Haki, because combined with Overclock Mode to develop God's Perspective, is not inferior to Aokiji's Kenbunshoku Haki at all."
"Plus my forte, speed..."
"Overall, my current strength allows me to clash with an Admiral. However, to defeat an Admiral, there is still a long way to go!!"
"Let alone, above Admirals, there are monsters like the Four Emperors and the Five Elders."
"So, next, I still need to work hard, cannot slack off..."
After making the summary.
Lister entered Overclock state again, replicating the scenes of the battle with Aokiji earlier.
In an instant.
Clear scenes flashed rapidly through Lister's mind!
[Recalling the battle scenes with Aokiji, comprehended the Marine Rokushiki - Soru from the battle scenes!]
[From the battle scenes, comprehended the Marine Rokushiki - Kami-e!]
[A flash of inspiration, integrated Marine Rokushiki Soru and Marine Rokushiki Kami-e into Silent Shunpo, making Silent Shunpo faster and more agile!]
[From the battle scenes, comprehended the Marine Rokushiki - Rankyaku!]
[From the battle scenes, comprehended Shigan, and through Aokiji's Ice Shigan, comprehended Flying Shigan!]
[From the battle scenes, comprehended Tekkai! Although this move is disdained even by dogs, feel that this move is actually suitable for subordinates like Johnson who ate Zoan Devil Fruits.]
[Have collected Marine Rokushiki Soru, Rankyaku, Geppo, Kami-e, Shigan, Tekkai! Based on Marine Rokushiki, conducted a grand deduction...]
[Comprehended Seimei Kikan (Life Return).]
[Comprehended Critical Hit.]
[Gained a trace of inspiration from the battle scenes, combined with the bone-chilling cold Aokiji left on the body back then, comprehended a wisp of Freezing Cold Intent!]
[Using that bit of Freezing Cold Intent as a base, realized a deeper level of Freezing Power!]
[From the battle scenes, observed that after accelerating blood flow speed, not only could it resist Aokiji's Winter Domain, but speed also became faster. Strength also became greater. Reaction became more agile. Based on blood acceleration, gained deep enlightenment. Comprehended a secret technique —— Boiling Blood Demonic Disintegration! Also gave it a few nicknames: Youth! Blooming Youth, My Youth! Eight Inner Gates!]
Above is the entirety of Lister's enlightenment this time.
After Lister exited Overclock state.
He muttered to himself: "Boiling Blood Demonic Disintegration, powerful indeed, but the side effects seem a bit large. Not only does it consume life force like Luffy using Gear Second. It's also like Might Guy from Naruto. If used for too long, the whole person will become like withered yellow leaves in autumn! Just one step away from withering completely! Although I have Liuku Xianze (Six Storehouses Immortal Thief) to convert energy and replenish life. But the side effects of this move are too great. If I can avoid using it, try not to use it in the future!"
Finished speaking, Lister stood up and walked to the ship's side.
Drew out Kashu.
With a thought.
A layer of frost appeared on the blade at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lister swung the sword fiercely.
Pfft.
A slashing wave condensed from cold intent shot out.
Plowing through the sea surface.
Crack——!
The sea surface froze rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Finally forming an ice path nearly ten thousand meters long.
Zoro and the others watching this scene.
Couldn't help but gasp.
"Lord Captain is too terrifying!"
"If this slash hits a person, I'm afraid they would be frozen directly into ice slag!!"
"Lister, how did you do that?" Zoro asked incredulously.
"Want to learn? I'll teach you!!" Lister smiled faintly.
"If you dare to teach, I dare to learn!" Zoro grinned.
"Lord Captain, I want to learn too!!" Akame shouted hurriedly.
"Those who learn from me live, those who resemble me die! You can learn from my sword to perfect your sword, but you cannot completely imitate my sword!" Lister reminded solemnly.
"Aye!!" Akame nodded.
Zoro was thoughtful.
"I will learn your sword, but I won't copy it blindly. I will use your Dao to walk my own Dao!" Zoro said confidently.
Since Zoro joined the Money Pirates.
Although he learned Lister's secret techniques.
His tactical style remained his own.
It can be seen that he also has considerable comprehension.
"If you can think like that, that's best!" Lister smiled faintly.
Subsequently.
Lister told Zoro and Akame the principles and essence of the Cold Intent Sword.
Then, he demonstrated it for them once more.
Afterwards, whether they could comprehend anything from it depended entirely on themselves.
At this time.
The lookout on the observation tower suddenly spoke up.
"Captain, island spotted ahead!"
