Sharingan! Open!

Tokikake was the same. He stood on Mu Chen's other side, rubbing his hands together with a sleazy grin. "Mu Chen, I admit that you've got talent as a rookie, but as a senior, I need to teach you a proper lesson."

The moment he finished speaking, Tokikake immediately made his move.

Tokikake instantly used the Navy Six Powers, closing in on Mu Chen at incredible speed. He moved so fast that not even an afterimage could be seen, leaving behind only a faint swirl of dust from where he had stood.

Seeing Tokikake charge in so quickly without any martial virtue, Mu Chen did not waste any words. He opened his eyes, and in an instant, they turned blood-red, with three tomoe-shaped marks in his pupils.

At that moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Mu Chen's Blood Sharingan. This was Mu Chen's Blood Eyes.

Zephyr was extremely curious when he saw Mu Chen's Blood Sharingan. He had never seen eyes like these before. For some reason, they made him feel a little afraid, like eyes that had come straight from hell.

Even Sengoku, who had remained silent until now, furrowed his brow tightly when he saw Mu Chen's Blood Sharingan. His thoughts were similar to Zefa's; he also found those eyes somewhat terrifying.

This kid... it looks like that Sharingan of his has grown stronger.

Garp silently thought to himself. After all, he had been the first to witness the Blood Sharingan. Half a month ago, it had only possessed a Single Tomoe, but now it had directly become Three Tomoe. What was going on with this kid's eyes?

"Those blood-red eyes... Kuzan!"

Ghost, Spider, and the others stared intently at Mu Chen's eyes. Those eyes also drew the attention of Qi Yuan, who had just been confessed to by Tokikake. She had never seen such beautiful eyes before, and they also seemed incredibly powerful.

"These blood-red eyes look so mysterious."

Tokikake rapidly closed in on Mu Chen. When he saw Mu Chen's eyes turn red, he was somewhat puzzled, but he continued his approach at full speed. To the naked eye, only Tokikake's afterimage could be seen, but in Mu Chen's eyes, Tokikake's movements were crystal clear, as though they had been slowed down.

Paper Pistol! Tokikake instantly appeared behind Mu Chen and followed up with a Paper Pistol. If this attack landed solidly, it would probably punch a bloody hole through his body.

But under the Blood Sharingan, Mu Chen had already seen Tokikake's movement trajectory. Mu Chen quickly shifted his feet, twisted to the side, and grabbed Tokikake's outstretched arm. Tokikake was dumbfounded. He had not expected Mu Chen to seize his arm so precisely. The next second, Mu Chen exerted force with both hands and threw him over his shoulder. Tokikake was slammed straight to the ground, but the next moment, he supported himself with one hand, spun his body, and rapidly retreated several steps. Mu Chen looked on in surprise. He had not fallen!

Tokikake truly deserved to be a Marine from the Marine Elite Training Camp. His strength was formidable. One could already tell from that exchange; often, one move was enough to reveal the difference. Mu Chen knew very well that, with his current combat power, he really was no match for Tokikake. It seemed he had to open the Eight Gates.

While Mu Chen was thinking, Tokikake also began to feel that he had underestimated him. Good kid. He can actually see through my Shave and even block one of my Paper Pistols!

"Hmm, looks like I can't hold back anymore."

As soon as he said that, Tokikake used Shave once more, this time moving even faster.

Mu Chen then saw Tokikake circling around him. Blue Walk! Suddenly, a blue slash-like attack shot toward Mu Chen, but he reacted quickly and dodged it with a sidestep.

When Tokikake saw Mu Chen evade it, he immediately unleashed more than a dozen Blue Walk attacks. Blue slashes came at Mu Chen from every direction. Everyone felt that Mu Chen would not be able to withstand this. From Mu Chen's earlier movements, it was clear that he did not know the Navy Six Powers at all. Faced with such a dense barrage of Rankyaku, it would be difficult to evade them without being able to kick.

At that moment, Mu Chen crossed his arms above his head. Eight Gates, First Gate: Opening Gate, Open!

Mu Chen's entire aura underwent a tremendous transformation, and veins could even faintly be seen bulging across his body.

With the First Gate of the Eight Gates opened, Mu Chen's overall physical abilities increased severalfold. Both his attack power and speed changed dramatically. Like a gust of wind, Mu Chen continuously evaded the Blue Walk attacks. His speed was practically on par with Tokikake's. In Garp and Zefa's eyes, Mu Chen's movements were naturally clear to see. At this moment, Mu Chen truly seemed like the wind, weaving back and forth through the gaps between the dozen Rankyaku attacks.

"What kind of technique is this?" Zefa could not believe his eyes. Without knowing the Navy Six Powers, Mu Chen could actually rely solely on his own speed to rival Tokikake's Shave. Although Tokikake's Shave was still far inferior to theirs, its speed was not something to be underestimated.

"Hahaha! Zefa, what did I tell you? Mu Chen is a genius, isn't he?"

Although Garp was laughing loudly, even he had not expected Mu Chen to be hiding this much. He had never seen this before!

It was not only Garp and Zefa. Even Sengoku, standing nearby, tightly furrowed his brow. He had never expected that Garp had not been joking with him. Even so, Mu Chen could not be Tokikake's opponent. Speed alone was not enough.

Zefa still spoke with disbelief.

At the same time, Tokikake, who had just unleashed more than a dozen Blue Walk attacks, had not expected Mu Chen to dodge them at such speed.

"Whether it's my Navy Six Powers, Finger Pistol, or now Rankyaku, all of them have been countered by Mu Chen. I refuse to believe it. Let me see what your attacks are capable of!"

Without another word, Tokikake rapidly closed in as Mu Chen dodged the final Rankyaku slash.
