"What is this? Swordsmanship? Devil Fruit ability?" someone from the Whitebeard Pirates exclaimed in shock. "Isn't the Azure Emperor's Devil Fruit the Tremor-Tremor Fruit? How could the Tremor-Tremor Fruit do something like this? It must be swordsmanship, right?" This person's reply wasn't very certain either. "But what kind of swordsmanship could achieve such an attack? These dragons seem to be alive!" What shocked the Whitebeard Pirates the most was the dragon-like aura emanating from Dragon Battles in the Wild.
Whitebeard's attacks, though terrifying, were not incomprehensible; they were attacks of pure power.
But Zesi's sword aura dragon was different; it was truly something that had never been seen or heard of before!
"This is a special sword technique created by the Azure Emperor '660' Zesi, who combined his swordsmanship, Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability, and superb Armament Haki into one," Jozu said solemnly.
"Before the Azure Emperor had fully matured, he had already caused the deaths of countless pirates and marines with this kind of attack. Now, very few people force him to use such swordsmanship. Take a good look, such opportunities are rare!" Marco said with a faint smile.
Upon hearing Marco and Jozu's words, everyone present looked at each other in surprise.
"What exquisite swordsmanship! You are truly amazing, Lord Azure Emperor!" In the Azure Emperor Pirates, Kirikage saw the move " Dragon Battles in the Wild," his eyes immediately lit up.
Zesi's earlier move Shock a Hundred Li. Although its power was unparalleled, its application in swordsmanship was not particularly remarkable.
The essence of that sword strike lies in its power; his understanding of the sword is no different from that of the sword masters of this world.
It is only by fusing the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and Haki, combining the three into one, that it possesses such terrifying power.
But this move, "Dragon Battles in the Wild," is completely different.
Even Kirikage had never seen such a swordsmanship before.
In terms of its sophistication, it far surpasses all the sword techniques I know.
"No wonder the Azure Emperor wanted to forge such a sword. It is double-edged and can be turned as one wishes. It is indeed more suitable for such exquisite sword techniques!" Kirikage was also a genius in swordsmanship. He quickly saw the ingenuity of the Zesi sword and swordsmanship.
Moreover, this move greatly inspired Mist Kirikage.
Kirikage comprehended the swordsmanship of light and heavy, which has four variations: light, heavy, slow, fast, and slow.
Zesi's move, Dragon Battles in the Wild, also embodies the interplay of yin and yang, strength and gentleness.
These changes have a rapid and significant impact on the swordsmanship of the Kirikage.
Therefore, Kirikage's eyes gleamed as she greedily gazed at Zesi's swordplay, hoping to absorb its essence to perfect her own swordsmanship.
Even a swordsmanship genius like Kirikage was so shocked and obsessed upon seeing it, let alone the other samurai.
The crew members of the Azure Emperor Pirates all come from Wano Country, and as samurai or ninjas, they were exposed to swordsmanship from a young age.
Even they were all dumbfounded, having never heard of such swordsmanship before.
While they were shocked by Zesi's swordsmanship, they were unaware that Zesi's expression was growing increasingly serious!
Whitebeard, who possessed the Steam Fruit, was stronger than he had expected.
The Steam Fruit not only granted Whitebeard immense power, but also increased Whitebeard speed.
Whitebeard's enormous body possessed extraordinary mobility.
In the original story, Whitebeard suffered a great loss in terms of mobility during the Paramount War.
Perhaps the Steam Fruit would be a better fit for Whitebeard.
Whitebeard, who possessed the Steam Fruit, was more powerful and troublesome than Whitebeard, who possessed the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
Similarly, Whitebeard was also shocked by Zesi's strength.
His Steam Fruit not only allows him to burn physical energy and convert it into power...
It can also unleash domineering Haki.
Haki is a latent power within the human body.
This potential power varies in strength among individuals.
It mainly depends on a person's physical condition and their usual training.
Whitebeard, on the other hand, was a monster with extraordinary physical strength and Haki presence.
Most importantly, Whitebeard is no longer covered in injuries, and his stamina and Haki recovery are incredibly strong.
Therefore, he can recklessly squander his explosive power, as if physical strength were free.
Because he often recovers his strength very quickly after just a short time of exertion.
When necessary, Whitebeard can also switch between burning physical strength and burning Haki.
When my stamina is depleted, I'll switch to burning Haki.
Once the Haki was almost depleted, it was time to switch to stamina, which had by then been largely restored.
In short, this method can greatly improve his combat endurance.
When necessary, he can also unleash both physical strength and Haki simultaneously.
When his physical strength and Haki burn simultaneously, he can unleash more than a hundred times his normal power in a short period of time.
When Whitebeard fought Zesi's Vibrating Blade 5.1 Storm, he simultaneously burned his stamina and Haki to unleash power hundreds of times greater than normal.
Whitebeard originally thought that under such a terrifying attack, even if Zesi's attacks were incredibly powerful, he would still be able to defeat him.
But unexpectedly, the two ended up in a draw.
This shocked Whitebeard.
Zesi has actually grown to this level?
The subsequent Dragon Battles in the Wild, while not as explosive as the previous move, was far superior in its exquisite skill.
The more the battle raged, the more shocked Whitebeard became.
Zesi's strength has probably surpassed Roger's.
