Seeing Seiya stun the enormous hundred-pound sea bream with a single blow, not only Erina and Soma Yukihira but even Senzaemon Nakiri beside them showed surprise.
Everyone present was a chef and understood the resistance they would face when dealing with a live fish struggling during slaughter.
All living creatures had an instinct to survive, and fish were no exception. When a fish was about to be killed and faced with life or death, it would naturally struggle with all its might.
A fish weighing just a few pounds was one thing, but the force with which a sea bream this large could struggle was easy to imagine.
A sea bream of the size before Seiya could easily send two or three Erinas or Minezakis flying with a flap of its body when it struggled. Yet now, Seiya had made it stop struggling completely with just one blow...
That strike had looked perfectly ordinary, but even an idiot could tell that the force behind it had been astonishing!
The Seven Star Knife corresponded to the positions of the Big Dipper and was named after its seven stars: Army Breaker, Integrity Knife, Prosperity Knife, Literary Star, Gate of Magnitude Knife, Martial Star, and Greedy Wolf Knife.
The blade Seiya had used to knock out the sea bream was the largest of the Seven Star Knife—the Gate of Magnitude Knife.
After knocking out the sea bream in one hit, Seiya swiftly drew both Literary Star and Martial Star from the cloth.
The fruit-knife-like Literary Star cut through its throat in a flash of cold light, immediately bleeding the sea bream.
Then Martial Star, shaped like a sharp awl, moved at a speed too fast for Erina and the others' eyes to follow, instantly separating the useless fins and tail from the sea
