Give as Much as He Wants!

[Swish swish swish--Jingle bell--]

Noah, on a flat grassy area outside the main hall.

The four Kuja Guard Ubuyashiki Sisters Guards, who were waiting at the edge, silently watched the scene inside, where swords flashed and people were completely invisible.

The sounds of swords clashing and clanging were continuous and intense, yet also possessed a crisp and pleasant rhythm.

It seemed that the two sides were not fighting, but rather playing some kind of strange melody with their swords.

Inside the venue.

Longinus had long since transformed into a series of blurry afterimages invisible to the naked eye.

The Seven Star Sword in his hand shone brightly with green light, and the eerie green flames, along with the dense sword light, made the scene look more like a vast expanse of raging green fire burning fiercely on the lawn.

It complements the green space overhead quite well.

Central.

Imu stood still, holding his Nichirin Blade 'Xihe'.

Easily deflected the roaring sea of eerie green fire from all directions, as well as the cunning blades hidden within, attempting to launch sneak attacks.

And each time he retaliated with a single strike.

And each time, it would startle Longinus, sending a chill down his spine, before he would muster his courage and launch an even fiercer attack.

However, neither the sharpness of the Seven Star Sword nor the bewitching green demonic flames could deter it.

They simply couldn't get past the three-meter radius in front of Imu.

"Relax, Longinus. Make your blade more flexible. Right now, your blade's movement is too rigid."

"Also, the sense of separation between you and the Seven Star Sword in your hand is too strong."

"Try to feel its emotions; if you can't do that, you'll always be a second-rate swordsman."

With his right hand holding 'Xihe', Imu dragged afterimages as he seemingly moved slowly but actually moved with incredible speed, creating an impenetrable defensive layer around him, while simultaneously pinpointing the flaws in his opponent's Swordsmanship.

"Make the knife soft"

As Longinus continued his work, he pondered the sentence in his mind. He seemed to have grasped something, but he couldn't quite grasp the key point.

"Lord Imu, this Seven Star Sword seems to contain only a greed for blood and endless killing intent. If I continue to sense its emotions, it might..."

"No matter what, a sword is ultimately just a weapon, and a swordsman is the one who wields that weapon."

Imu answered the other person's question in a calm tone.

"Do not run away from your sword, nor fear it. Face its greed and its killing intent, while maintaining your true self. In this process, your will will be naturally strengthened."

Longinus hesitated upon hearing this and said, "But what if I lose my mind?"

"It doesn't matter, I'll take action."

Imu smiled dismissively.

"Remember."

"The difference between a swordsman and Great Swordsman lies not only in physical strength, but also in their spiritual Bleach."

"While the former can faintly sense the rhythm of Breath of All Things, he can only let his body follow the blade, while the latter can make the sword move at will."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a sharp clang of metal clashing rang out in the arena.

The next second.

The Ubuyashiki sisters and others outside all saw the blazing green flames disappear in the wind like Illusion.

Immediately afterwards, a longsword with a green glowing blade spun high into the air and finally plunged straight into the grass not far away.

That's all for today.

Imu put 'Xihe' back into its sheath, glanced at Stussy who had appeared on the sidelines, and then looked back at Longinus was kneeling on the ground opposite him, panting heavily.

Although it was only a short three hours.

Whenever Imu's blade retaliates, it always makes Longinus feel a strong sense of impending death.

This is strange.

She knew perfectly well that Imu wouldn't kill her.

But whenever faced with the approaching 'Xihe' blade, an uncontrollable fear and despair would arise in my heart, and then after successfully dodging it, I would subconsciously feel fortunate and still have lingering fear.

Then he kept repeating this process, which left Longinus Kanna exhausted.

"Child, as a swordsman you must get used to death and killing intent, treat them as the gentle breezes that blow around you, enjoy them, and then use them."

"Make good use of your Seven Star Sword."

After saying that, Imu turned and left.

Longinus watched in a daze as his figure gradually disappeared, then turned to look at the Seven Star Sword, whose hilt was still on the ground not far away.

[Splashing sound----]

Just then, Rafale blew by, ruffling Longinus's Red-Haired and the hem of his clothes.

That's strange.

Noah is located within the space of the Door-Door Fruit, so there shouldn't be any wind there, but Longinus didn't care about such things.

Forcing himself to stand up despite his exhaustion, Earth Flow the Seven Star Sword.

"Lord Imu, I will not let you down."

He, Cassius Longinus, will defend your honor with his sword and incinerate your enemies with the fire within his body!

The next moment.

Longinus gripped the hilt and drew the Seven Star Sword in one swift motion.

He immediately sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and immersed his mind in the 'world' within the sword, which resembled a raging sea of blood.

Just as Imu said before, face the bloodlust and killing intent of the Seven Star Sword head-on!

"Hehehe, this kid is really good."

Imu, who had noticed Longinus's movements from a distance, secretly admired him.

Although it might seem reckless to do this while struggling with an exhausted mind, there's actually no risk involved, as I'm there to protect the other person.

"Imu, Empress Esdeath just sent a message."

Following Imu toward the harem, Stussy said softly, "She successfully absorbed and cultivated Natural Energy in the Arctic of the Teigu World, and has now arrived in Barutus Town."

"Oh?"

Imu raised an eyebrow; it seemed that humans could also absorb Natural Energy like those super- Danger Beasts.

In this way, the World Government will have another training system after Physical Arts, Swordsmanship, and Haki, which is definitely a great thing.

"Empress Esdeath mentioned that the Kirin Fruit's beast and Hybrid Form can effectively enhance the efficiency of absorbing ice-attribute Natural Energy."

"But she's unsure if other Zoan Devil Fruit have the same effect."

"Because the basic ability of the Kirin Fruit is to control sleep and fear."

"This will be submitted to the Academy of Sciences for verification."

Imu nodded and then began to give orders.

"By the way, because Utgard is too large, ten liters of 'Crimson Red Lotus Blood' won't be enough to affect his whole body, so you'll need to go and shrink his body before he drinks the 'Red Lotus Blood'."

"We must figure out the effects of 'Red Lotus Blood' on ice-type Logia users, and then send him to the Arctic of the Teigu World to see if he can absorb Natural Energy."

"If it turns out there are no problems in the end, send all twenty liters of blood to Aokiji next month."

At the same time, Imu thought to himself that if the 'Red Lotus Blood' was indeed useful, then he should also try to get his hands on the blood of the other super Danger Beasts.

For example, what would happen if Kaido the blood of 'Divine Harmony and Azure Dragon'?

"Yes."

Stussy then reported, "Lord Imu, the Paramecia Brain-Brain Fruit has been delivered to Dean Vegapunk's private research island, 'Egghead'."

"Good."

Imu didn't care much; it was Devil Fruit. As long as Vegapunk had a legitimate reason, he could give him as many as he wanted.
