Chapter 1384: The Powerful Head of the Four Rakshasa Demons!
"This girl has the potential of a Great Swordsman!"
On the Noah's Ark, Im commented on Yajime Hime.
Then his gaze turned to Akame. According to the 'Canon', Akame's sword talent was no less than Yajime Hime's.
However, their combat styles differed slightly due to their respective experiences.
Akame leaned towards being an assassin.
She never cared about fairness or justice, nor did she care about swordsman etiquette.
All her actions were aimed at quickly killing the target and completing the mission.
Yajime Hime, on the other hand, was a pure swordsman. She liked to spar with people for a while before killing them head-on, and she valued the various rules between swordsmen.
But now, both of them were using the 'Imperial Arm Murasame', which had a 'One-Hit Kill' effect.
"I really didn't expect Old Man Yejian's granddaughter to have such high talent."
Esdeath, who was beside Im, looked at Yajime Hime below with surprise.
She had sparred with Yejian Tsukahara, the God and Sword Saint, a few times when she was an Imperial Navy Admiral.
Although she had the advantage each time, she couldn't keep him.
"Besides her own talent, it should also be related to the environment she is in."
"Master Yudao collects all the sword technique manuals from the various worlds under the World Government."
"And with Mihawk, Yejian Tsukahara, Gion, and other powerful swordsmen teaching her, the two sides' backgrounds are not on the same level."
Listening to Im's explanation, Esdeath, Akame, Mikasa, and the others nodded thoughtfully.
They felt it made perfect sense; Yajime Hime's environmental conditions were too good.
The Land of Iron, where Tatekata was from, was far inferior.
However, the fact that he could comprehend a sword skill talent like 'Warrior's Regretless' was also considered excellent.
It was just that Yajime Hime's talent was even more terrifying.
"Do you think you can beat this Yajime Hime?"
At this moment, Esdeath looked at Akame and asked. The latter thought for a moment, then shook her head:
"If you mean in a duel with her, then it would be very difficult. But if you want me to kill her, then I am confident."
She wasn't boasting.
The environment of Noah's Ark was no worse than Master Yudao's.
The sword technique manuals collected by Master Yudao were all synchronized and uploaded to the 'Star Sea Super Den Den Mushi Network'.
Although it hadn't been publicly released yet, Akame, as an insider, could access it at any time.
The gravity training equipment in the Star Pressure Palace could also be used freely, and Esdeath often sparred with her.
Therefore, Akame's strength improvement speed was not necessarily much slower than Yajime Hime's.
"Hehehehe, having you stay by my side seems like a waste of talent~"
Esdeath teased with a smile, but Akame denied it with a calm attitude.
"No, without your training, I wouldn't even have the strength to kill her now."
Im agreed with this idea in his heart.
If Akame hadn't followed Esdeath, she would probably be serving in a squad of Cipher Pol now.
This would definitely be inferior to Yajime Hime at Master Yudao's, and the gap between them would only continue to widen.
The only problem was that as Esdeath's guard, Akame rarely had the chance to kill people.
Because any assassin who attempted to attack Esdeath first had to break through the defense line of the Holy Land Garrison and Cipher Pol, then they had to break through the protection of the Baltars Tribe Guard Squad before they could possibly meet Akame and Kurome.
Inside the Multiverse Duel Arena.
After Yajime Hime and Tatekata's match concluded.
The fifth match was between Jean Ango from the Sea Star Mainland VS Ibara from the Imperial Arms World.
The former was a bounty hunter from an island in the New World.
He was a newcomer who hadn't been active for long, but his strength was quite good.
However, his combat style was very interesting.
He liked to kill targets from a distance by throwing various cold weapons, so he called himself a sniper!
The latter, however, had a significant background.
Ibara.
The contemporary 'Head of the Four Rakshasa Demons' from the Imperial Fist Temple in the Imperial Arms World.
His extraordinary martial arts at the 'Life Return' rank were quite strong.
Furthermore, the Imperial Arms World had joined the World Government for a full three years.
Last year, it was secretly brought under the control of 'Star Fate' by Im, and it was undergoing 'Starfish Transformation' at an extremely fast speed.
This allowed Ibara to master Armament Haki.
At the same time, based on his combat style, he chose to study Wind Breathing and Hasshoken, which were suitable for him.
So, he was now many times stronger than he was three years ago!
"Tch, a troublesome opponent."
Jean Ango's mood at this moment was heavier than the thirty blades he held in his arms.
His Observation Haki could feel how profound Ibara's aura was.
It seemed this match had to end before he ran out of weapons, otherwise, in melee combat, he estimated he couldn't compete with the opponent.
"Then I hereby announce!"
"Combat Start!"
"Duel——————"
As always, the voice of Gaz, the host and referee, descended from the air.
[Swish!]
Jean Ango didn't hesitate at all and immediately threw a steel sword at Ibara.
Although invisible to the naked eye of ordinary people, many people present could feel that the sword was coated with a layer of Armament Haki.
This would increase its power to a terrifying degree!
One must know that slender arrows could have the strength to shatter a stone wall with the enhancement of Armament Haki.
Not to mention this steel sword, which was thicker and longer than an arrow.
[Boom!!]
As expected, as soon as the flying steel sword hit an obstacle, it instantly created a scene comparable to a rocket explosion.
The cement ground between Jean Ango and Ibara was instantly blasted with large cracks.
But the former's expression became even more gloomy.
Because the obstacle the steel sword encountered was actually the fingernail on the index finger of the latter's right hand!
Yes, it was the thin, straight fingernail that had extended out at some point!
"Is that all?"
"A bit too weak, isn't it?"
Ibara retracted his fingernail, which had turned from black to white, and while picking his ear, he mocked contemptuously.
"How did you even get into the Top 16, noble Sea Star person~"
His words not only silenced Jean Ango but also caused the audience throughout the arena to frown.
What did this guy mean, being so sarcastic? But Sea Star people *are* nobler than you!
[Swish swish swish swish!]
Suddenly, Jean Ango attacked again.
This time, he continuously threw four steel sabers and steel swords, and the surface of the sabers and swords was as black as ink.
He had used 'Hardening' Armament Haki on them, further increasing the attack power!
[Bang bang bang bang——]
But this time, Ibara on the opposite side actually controlled his rapidly growing hair, forming a dozen thick and long 'Black Spears', which directly blasted the incoming steel sabers and steel swords.
Then, they continued to stab towards Jean Ango's location at high speed.
During the process, they created bursts of rumbling sonic booms and streaks of green wind blade phantasms.
This was a combination of Wind Breathing, Life Return, and Armament Haki!
Facing such an offensive, Jean Ango could only continuously dodge using Observation Haki while pulling back the distance.
On the rostrum, Vergo shook his head: "Jean Ango will likely lose to this Ibara, the gap is a bit too big."
As a Sea Star person, he naturally hoped Jean Ango could win the duel and become one of the Top 10.
But currently, it was completely one-sided suppression. The only reason he could last for a moment was because of Observation Haki.
Indeed.
Jean Ango finally couldn't hold back.
He threw all twenty-five steel sabers and steel swords in his arms at once, each coated with a layer of 'Hardening' Armament Haki.
The overwhelming scene was truly spectacular, instantly giving many audience members hope.
Perhaps this time he could injure Ibara and buy Jean Ango some hope?
"Hiss——————"
Immediately, everyone saw Ibara on the other end suddenly begin Deep Breathing, his abdomen visibly expanding rapidly.
"Hoo——————————"
The moment he exhaled again, an extremely terrifying Gale Impact suddenly formed in front of him.
It fiercely slammed the twenty-five rapidly incoming black sabers and swords, along with Jean Ango behind them, into the Magic Barrier at the end!
This technique was very similar to the Wind Release: Great Breakthrough from the Ninja World.
But Ibara didn't use Chakra; he relied entirely on his martial arts at the 'Life Return' rank.
He completely crushed Jean Ango!
His name as the Strongest of the 'Four Rakshasa Demons' now seemed well-deserved.
It was just unknown who was stronger or weaker compared to Zhu Tian, who had joined the military.
