Thunder Breathing, First Form, Thunderclap and Flash

"Damn Golden Lion, to injure Master so badly!" Baby5 walked forward angrily, raising her leg and firing several cannonballs at the Golden Lion with a bang bang bang, blowing him into a sorry state and even knocking his cigar away.

The Golden Lion wasn't injured. Baby5's attacks were like pitter-patter rain to him. The old lion chuckled twice, not seeming angry at all.

Most of the Great Pirates in the pirate world were broad-minded and didn't care about such offenses.

Of course, they also didn't care about the lives of irrelevant people.

As a Weapon-Weapon Fruit user, Baby5's actual combat strength was much greater than Dr. Indigo's, ranking third in the entire Golden Lion Pirates.

In terms of potential, the Weapon-Weapon Fruit was also considered top-tier among all Devil Fruits. The Golden Lion, with only a few subordinates now, naturally didn't care about the offenses of a potential subordinate.

After Baby5 bombarded the Golden Lion, she bandaged Minos. Although Minos looked seriously injured, as a Yokai, his vitality was as tenacious as the top monsters on the sea. These injuries would heal after a good sleep.

The entire Golden Lion Pirates were currently drifting in the East Blue. This sea area had no storms that could affect the Floating Island, and Minos's Clairvoyance wasn't needed. After bandaging his wounds, Minos ate a big meal and went back to sleep.

Lying in bed, Minos projected his consciousness back into the Golden Scales Space, starting to check if there were any good trade items today.

Among the knowledge Minos hadn't traded yet, the most precious was the Golden Lion's swordsmanship. For some reason, the old lion had compiled his swordsmanship into a book, which was a fortunate coincidence for Minos.

There was also the training method for Rokushiki, a detailed annotated version obtained from the Donquixote Family in Dressrosa. It was likely handed over to the family by Vigo, one of Doflamingo's subordinates, who was a spy within the Marines.

Additionally, there were the training methods for Armament Haki and Observation Haki. Minos had obtained many Haki cultivation secret manuals from both the Golden Lion and the Charlotte Family.

After browsing for a while, Minos felt that there was nothing satisfactory to trade for in the Haki cultivation and Rokushiki methods. He then started looking at what could be exchanged for the Golden Lion's swordsmanship.

No matter how much the pirate world valued oral transmission and personal instruction, the value of these swordsmanship techniques themselves was undeniable! Even if the Golden Lion's swordsmanship wasn't the strongest in the world, it was at least among the top tier. In the martial arts world, it would be equivalent to the Nine Yang Divine Skill or the Nine Yin Manual. The swordsmanship that could be traded in the Golden Scales Space was naturally not bad either.

However, to be honest, the swordsmanship in the pirate world was completely different from normal swordsmanship. Take Flying Slash, for example. In the normal world, it was usually techniques that required energy like Internal Energy or Spirit Energy to be performed with a sword.

In a world like the Pirate King's, where it was achieved purely by strength, at least in Minos's impression, it could be called unique.

This was definitely related to the rules of the Pirate King's world, but it also showed that its swordsmanship was unique. Normal swordsmanship wouldn't provide much of a supplement. It was fine for building a foundation, but it wouldn't be easy to advance further because the two systems were fundamentally incompatible.

"Hmm!? This swordsmanship..." Minos looked with surprise.

Thunder Breathing, First Form, Thunderclap and Flash.

Most importantly, this wasn't swordsmanship knowledge, but a memory!

"Swordsmanship from the Demon Slayer world? It even includes Breathing Techniques!"

"However, the Breathing Techniques from Demon Slayer would definitely be greatly weakened in the pirate world! It would probably only be equivalent to a move that temporarily increases burst power, not permanently increasing Stamina."

Because only memories were provided, not physical objects, Minos could only vaguely perceive their advantages and disadvantages under the power of the Golden Scales. Unlike physical objects, it wasn't intuitive to clearly understand the problems.

"Even so, it's still very good... At least the swordsmanship in Demon Slayer is performed purely with the physical body, so the two are almost interchangeable. Most importantly, this is a memory!"

Minos did not hesitate to use the Golden Lion's swordsmanship to trade for Thunder Breathing, First Form, Thunderclap and Flash. Instantly, countless memories flowed through his mind. A moment later, as he opened his eyes, a sharp glint could be seen within them, which only subsided after a long time.

This move, Thunderclap and Flash, can essentially be considered an upgraded version of the sword-drawing technique, with the addition of a charging action. Its core principle is very simple: one word: speed!

Fast enough that the opponent can't react, fast enough that the opponent can't parry, fast enough to instantly kill the opponent, with no need to consider anything else!

As long as the speed is fast enough, there's no need for any blocking or feints! As long as the speed is fast enough, powerful force will naturally emerge. With speed and force, the attack power cannot be low!

Lying there with his eyes open for a while, Minos, whose mind was now filled with Thunderclap and Flash, couldn't sleep. He rolled off the bed, stood up, and tore off the bandages on his body. The recovery ability of a Yokai is indeed strong; the injuries he sustained this morning had already almost healed.

Taking a deep breath, since he couldn't sleep, he decided to go practice his sword. Currently, Minos had the knowledge but not the physical execution, meaning he lacked muscle memory. By practicing more, this Thunderclap and Flash move would naturally become second nature.

After all, he wasn't starting from scratch anymore. After more than a year of sword practice, his body had already developed instinctive reactions. With a few adjustments, he could quickly integrate the entire Thunderclap and Flash into his combat system.

"Speaking of which, my moves are getting closer and closer to Hiei's... The early Hiei was known for his high speed and swordsmanship!"

Thinking this, Minos, who had stepped into the training ground, narrowed his eyes slightly. Gripping the sword hilt, his breathing suddenly became long and intense.

He drew a long breath into his lungs, and under the effect of the Thunder Breathing Technique, he felt his entire spirit become active. Faintly, it felt as if everything in the world had slowed down.

"This Breathing Technique can actually improve my reaction speed? Is this a unique characteristic of the Thunder Breathing Technique? Although it only bursts during combat and doesn't truly improve physical fitness, it's already considered a top-tier secret technique!"

Thunderclap and Flash! In an instant, Minos, who had lowered his stance and assumed a charging posture, transformed into a bolt of lightning, disappearing from one end of the training ground and reappearing at the other. Several large rocks in the middle of the training ground were also split in half in the blink of an eye.
