Marineford, Naval Fortress, in a spacious office.
Marine Headquarters Admiral Aokiji was lying on a recliner, wearing an eye mask and sleeping, exuding a lazy and decadent air.
But in the next instant, Aokiji suddenly reached out and removed his blindfold, revealing a strange expression, and said, "This is..."
Muttering to himself, Aokiji tapped the table, and a Marine Gate of Opening and walked in.
Go see what's going on in the lounge downstairs.
"Yes!"
Next to Aokiji's room is the room of another Marine Headquarters Admiral, Akainu.
At that moment, Akainu was sitting behind his desk, seriously dealing with the documents on it. But in the next instant, he suddenly looked up and frowned.
What's going on?
"Someone, go check out the lounge and see what those guys are doing."
Marine Headquarters, Recreation Room.
Two intense Sword Intent clashed. Ordinary people might not be able to perceive what was happening here, but those with Observation Haki or who are swordsmen themselves could feel the two Sword Intent that filled the space and kept colliding.
The feeling was as if the entire lounge had turned into a sea of swords and knives!
Moreover, it was quite obvious that Uya's Sword Intent was more powerful and possessed an extreme domineering quality, completely suppressing Onigumo's Sword Intent.
At first, Onigumo's Sword Intent was able to resist Uya's Sword Intent, but as time went by and the two Sword Intent continued to collide, he was horrified to find that his Sword Intent had been completely suppressed, and he could hardly even lift his head!
It seems that once someone falls into a disadvantageous position in front of Uya, they will be completely crushed.
"This guy..."
Onigumo stared intently at the calm-faced Uya before him, finding it hard to believe that such domineering Sword Intent belonged to this handsome twenty-year-old boy.
After taking a deep breath, Onigumo finally moved.
With his Sword Intent completely suppressed, his strength was reduced by at least 30%. Moreover, Onigumo knew that if this continued, it wouldn't just be a matter of his Sword Intent being suppressed; he might not even have a chance to draw his sword!
The reason why the weak are afraid to attack when the strong simply stand there is because once their momentum is completely suppressed, they simply cannot muster any fighting spirit anymore.
The strong can often make the weak sweat profusely and tremble without being able to move with just a glance. In this world, even something Conqueror's Haki can knock the weak unconscious!
Although this was the Marine Headquarters ' lounge, not a place specifically for combat, Onigumo didn't care about that anymore.
" Eight-Sword Style... Flower Wheel!"
Onigumo is Zoan Spider-Spider Fruit user, possessing a half-human, half-beast form. After six spider legs appeared behind him, he grasped a total of eight swords and suddenly swung them at Uya from afar.
The eight swords spun around, their dazzling light converging, their sword energies intertwining like a blooming petal, before suddenly flying towards Uya after spinning.
The eight sword energies, as they spun, suddenly converged into a single line, just like a blooming flower suddenly closing up and becoming a bud. The eight sword energies were completely condensed into a single line!
When Onigumo made his move, he used almost all of his strength!
"Interesting swordsmanship."
As Onigumo wielded his sword, the sword energy gathering and tearing through the air, a strange look flashed in Uya's eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Facing the sword strike from the convergence of eight sword energies of the Onigumo, Uya did not retreat or dodge. Instead, he held the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword in one hand and lightly swung it.
His movements were incredibly free, flowing smoothly, and completely untouched by any impurity.
laugh!!!
The Heavenly Ame-no-Murakumo Sword, as golden as glazed glass, swept across the area, causing the sword energy released by the Onigumo to suddenly freeze and then collapse with a bang!
The scattered sword energy caused the wooden floor to crack, revealing the stone floor beneath the planks. The surrounding wooden walls were also cleaved open, exposing the stone walls as well.
This is the Marine Headquarters, also known as a naval fortress or naval stronghold, so it is naturally extremely sturdy. Even though places like the lounges have wooden floors, the interior is still made of stone.
This stone is not an ordinary stone, but a type of stone second only to Seastone, used for casting buildings.
Despite the depiction in the original story of the Marine Headquarters being as fragile as paper under Whitebeard's fists during the Summit War, its actual sturdiness is such that it could withstand even a barrage of cannon fire of the Buster Call level!
The sword energy had no effect and was easily blocked by Uya. Onigumo's expression grew increasingly grim, completely unable to believe that Uya actually possessed such powerful swordsmanship!
" Eight-Sword Style... Scattering Flowers!"
The next moment, Onigumo charged towards Uya. Having mastered the Marine Six Powers, he was extremely fast and arrived in front of Uya in Setsuna. With the swing of his eight swords, the Sword Radiance flashed continuously, as if pear blossoms were blooming all over his body, with petals falling one by one.
This time it wasn't sword energy anymore, but Armament Haki attached to the sword blades, a real clash of Sword Radiance. The eight swords rolled over like wheels, the attack was like a raging storm!
However, facing Onigumo's Eight-Sword Style swordsmanship, Uya still held the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword in one hand, casually swinging it up and down, easily blocking all the attacks.
His movements were nimble and effortless, much like Hawk-Eye in the original work, who easily blocked Zoro's Three-Sword Style with a small knife.
"Just like the name of the technique, it's a scattered and disjointed swordsmanship." Observing Onigumo's swordsmanship, Uya's gaze was calm, with a hint of scrutiny.
Compared to Hawk-Eye's swordsmanship, Onigumo's swordsmanship was far inferior. Although he managed to gather the sword energy with that Flower Wheel move, it was still scattered and not concentrated.
Only a sword that gathers strength without dispersing, whose great skill appears clumsy, is truly powerful!
Like Hawk-Eye, he has almost no special sword moves, he just swings his sword casually, but the sword energy he unleashes can solidify and cut down everything!
Hawk-Eye's swordsmanship has reached the level of a great swordsman who has returned to simplicity, while Onigumo is clearly far from that level.
Uya's swordsmanship was initially at the level of a sword master, and after several battles with Hawk-Eye and Kizaru, his swordsmanship became even stronger than Onigumo's!
Uya's sword is a domineering sword; as long as one is stronger than the opponent, even by just a little, it will crush them!
Just like Uya in the past, any attack that couldn't break through his Power of Tremors would be crushed by him, and the same goes for Uya's swordsmanship!
Anyone whose strength is insufficient to break through Uya's swordsmanship, even if they are only slightly weaker than Uya, will still be crushed. This is the essence of invincible Sword Intent.
It was so close, it was an insurmountable barrier! (To be continued.)
