Nami jerked her head up and saw that Snake had somehow already leaped ten meters into the air. With an acrobat's exquisite footwork, he maintained his balance amid the chaotic currents in an unbelievable display-one foot rested on the crest of an updraft while the other lifted slightly, his body flowing into a perfect aerial cartwheel. At the same time, both hands swiftly drew the curved swords at his waist, their blades reflecting a cold, menacing gleam in the sunlight.
"Acrobatic Two-Sword Style: Turbulent Current Slash!"
Like two silver bolts of lightning, his blades traced dozens of crisscrossing paths around his spinning body! Every stroke cut precisely into a crucial "node" in the airflow, subtly altering the direction and strength of the local currents. The acrobat's rapid spinning left no blind spots in his slashes.
