Chapter 80 Flowing Sakura
Faced with an unexpected task, Adrian would naturally not refuse.
And having received so much care from Koushiro before, Adrian would take the initiative to help complete this request even if there was no reward.
After all, [Wano Country] is also one of the destinations he set early!
While accepting the mission, Adrian said to Koushiro: "Master Koshiro, please rest assured. When I successfully reach the new world in the second half of the Grand Line, I will definitely go to Wano Country to find out. But... …”
Adrian deliberately left half of his words unsaid.
What he didn't say was clear.
In Adrian's memory, the Shigetsuki family was once a famous and powerful family in the history of Wano. In the history of the family, there were even legendary dragon-slaying swordsmen and heroes like 'Shigetsuki Ryoma'.
But in recent years, the Shuangyue family has long been in decline, and its connections have withered.
Until the first appearance in the original work, Shuoyue family only had two single seedlings, Shuoyue Kangjia and Shuoyue Huzi, and even Huzi was an adopted daughter...
Even at this point in time, the Shuangyue family doesn't know how many people there are.
Koushiro naturally understood the subtext of Adrian's unfinished words.
He shook his head calmly and said, "My father's hometown is the biggest regret in his life. Before he died, he was talking about the cherry blossoms in his hometown... Toya, when you go to Wano Country, you just need to confirm the situation of the Shigetsuki family. As for the rest, don’t worry too much.”
After a pause, Koushiro seemed to have recalled something, and said in a lower tone: "Actually speaking, I, a swordsman with the surname "Shimozuki", have never seen what my original hometown is like in my whole life. It's really …”
With a slight sigh, Koushiro stopped talking.
Adrian comforted: "I believe that one day, Master Koushiro will be able to leave the East China Sea and visit Wano Country."
"Impossible!" Koushiro sighed with a smile, "If it was even possible before, now I can't let go of the dojo and the Shinchiko."
Adrian was silent.
Until this moment, he finally understood why the master of Yishin Dojo, who was probably the hidden boss of the East China Sea, was willing to live in this small world.
That is a power called [responsibility]!
After Shigezuki Machiko gives birth and Kuina is born, this power of [responsibility] will become stronger and stronger.
Until Kuina's unexpected death, the power called "responsibility" that bound Koushiro to the Isshin Dojo will turn into an even greater "regret" in an instant!
It’s hard to imagine what Koushiro’s ending would have been if it weren’t for the appearance of Zoro’s ‘sword crazy’ + ‘road crazy’.
Thinking of this, Adrian couldn't help but change his face slightly.
Guina...
He pretended to be nonchalant and said: "Master Koushiro, speaking of which, Madam Chichiko's delivery date should be in September this year, right? I don't know whether it will be a boy or a girl, so don't be biased."
"Ahem, why did you suddenly talk about this matter?" Koushiro's face turned slightly red. This man was unexpectedly very shy when it came to his family, but there was still a faint look of expectation in his eyes, "But I I hope it’s a girl, in that case...ahem, let’s get down to business.”
Koushiro cleared his throat and said with a straight face: "Now let me teach you the details about [Ryu Sakura]."
……
There is no hard work and study as imagined.
Koushiro told Adrian the details of Ryukakura Haki several times, and also explained in detail the slight differences between ordinary armed Haki and Ryukakura.
In Koushiro's expectation, even though Adrian was the kind of little monster who successfully advanced to the level of a swordsman at a young age, his ability of domineering was no better than others.
It is different from the Haki of knowledge color and the Haki of Overlord color.
The domineering nature of the weapon depends largely on the strength of the individual's physique.
Generally speaking, armed domineering masters can be directly equated with physical skills masters.
In previous battles, although Adrian had also unleashed his armed Haki, Koushiro could clearly feel at that time that its intensity was not very high.
Koushiro thinks this is because Adrian is still young and has a lot of room for physical development.
Therefore, according to Koushiro's guess, even if Adrian is a genius, it will take at least about a month to cultivate Ryuzakura Haki to the stage of mastery.
But what he didn't expect was that only three minutes had passed after he finished Liu Ying's domineering explanation.
The skin of Adrian's hands first turned into a cold and hard pitch black from the inside to the outside. This was also an ordinary armed color domineering.
The next second later.
Adrian's hands were like metal being heated and red-hot, with a layer of pink flowing color like cherry blossoms faintly attached. The air around him could even be seen twisting slightly, making a subtle and harsh crackling sound.
Sakura appears!
Even though he had glasses on the bridge of his nose, his widened and squinted eyes still revealed the shock in Koushiro's heart!
monster!
Seeing Koushiro finally no longer maintaining a bland posture, Adrian couldn't help but feel happy.
‘Sorry, with the help of the panel and the intelligence attributes that are now sky-high, I can learn things so fast! ’
At this moment, the panel also refreshed the skill information.
[You gain the domineering characteristic of the armed color, Liu Ying! 】
[[Flowing Sakura]: The flowing armed domineering force, while strengthening its own offensive and defensive capabilities and launching an offensive, can emit an aura that is enough to cause damage to the opponent with bare hands alone, creating an effect like hitting a cow from across the mountain. 】
Looking at the description of Liu Ying on the panel, Adrian frowned slightly.
"Liu Ying can only produce the effect of [air strike]? It seems to be a little different from what I expected..."
Seeing this, Koushiro couldn't help but ask: "Did you feel something was wrong, Toya?"
Adrian came back to his senses and explained: "That's it, Master Koshiro."
He casually grabbed an unused cushion, threw it into the air, and then activated his newly acquired Ryuzakura Haki.
The domineering fist swung straight towards the gray cushion, punching through the center of it to create a huge hole, with flocculent white cotton exposed at the irregular edges.
Koushiro's eyes twitched and he glanced at his cushion with some distress.
Adrian retracted his domineering attitude and asked doubtfully: "Liu Ying, it seems that it can only achieve the effect of [air strike]?"
Koushiro replied: "Yes, didn't I just mention this subtle point?"
Adrian hesitated: "I thought Liu Ying would be more powerful... like being able to do [internal destruction]..."
"[Flowing Sakura] is just another name for Armed Color Haki. It's just that our Shigetsuki family follows the tradition of Wano Country and has always called it that." Koushiro explained, "As for the [Internal Destruction] you mentioned Toya, then It’s a more advanced level of armed Haki than Ryu Sakura, but there’s nothing I can do about it.”
"Because...I can't do it either."
Regarding the specific effect of Liuying, the author is not very sure.
Some say that Ryu Sakura is just a description of armed Haki within Wano; some say that Ryu Sakura is a high-level armed Haki that can be destroyed from within.
However, the manga makes it clear that [Internal Destruction] is a more advanced skill than Ryu Sakura.
Therefore, the setting of this book is that Liu Ying is [strike from the air], and his more profound characteristic is [internal destruction].
After all, it seems quite reasonable to advance from [Entangle] to [Hardening]; then to [Flowing Sakura], and then to [Internal Destruction]?
