Chapter 506: Mist and Steam!
"Cooperation?"
Giyu Tomioka and Muichiro Tokito exchanged glances, feeling utterly baffled. They had thought they were about to fight right away.
But as the saying goes, you don't hit someone who offers a smiling face. Since the other party was so polite, they couldn't just ignore him. So, although a bit awkward, they introduced themselves.
"My name is Giyu Tomioka. I'm from the 'Demon Slayer World' and currently serve as a Headquarters Lieutenant Commander in the Marine Headquarters."
"Muichiro Tokito. I'm from the same place as him and currently a member of CIPHER POL-8."
William raised an eyebrow, looking at them in surprise. He hadn't expected to encounter two Otherworlders, and members of the World Government at that!
This made him instinctively and quickly think about the potential uses for them in his Brain.
Because he was inherently a believer in the law of the jungle, someone who was profit-driven and would even resort to any Means to achieve his goals.
To put it bluntly.
He was a typical 'pirate', but because he hadn't had the chance to 'debut' yet, he was still an innocent Civilian without a Bounty.
But his Ambition had already been ignited!
"Regardless, let's have a fight first. We can talk after we're done."
William always liked to judge what Attitude he should take towards others based on their Strength, and at the same time, let the other party know what Attitude they should use when Speaking to him.
"Alright!"
Giyu Tomioka and Muichiro Tokito weren't the type of Personalities who liked to talk nonsense either.
The two exchanged glances again.
This time they were discussing who would make the first move. In the end, Muichiro Tokito stepped forward first because, relatively speaking, Giyu Tomioka's Strength was a bit greater.
However, Giyu Tomioka also knew that in terms of Talent, Muichiro Tokito was superior, he was just too young in Age.
In fact, when they first arrived in this World, the World Government had considered letting Muichiro Tokito and Kamado Tanjiro study together at the Sword Pavilion.
But at his own request and under the strong Suggestion of Kagaya Ubuyashiki and others, after an Assessment of his Strength and cultural aspects, he was still given the Treatment of an Adult.
However, the World Government wouldn't go so far as to let an underage Child participate in Missions that required killing.
Therefore, whether at the Ministry of Police Affairs or the current CIPHER POL Headquarters, he was only assigned to serve as an Instructor for 'Mist Breathing'.
Although in the 'Canon', seven years later, they made an exception and deployed the fifteen-year-old Rob Lucci, that was because that Child's Talent was simply too high and couldn't be viewed as an ordinary Child.
"Oh?"
"You're not planning to attack together? How considerate. Then I thank the two of you."
William smiled slightly, simultaneously drawing the Long Saber from his left hand with his Right Hand, and introduced it: "The Blade's name is Yukibashiri, it has a Small Irregular Temper Pattern, and is one of the Fifty Skillful Grade Blades."
He had received this for free from the owner of a small Blade shop in Loguetown, but he had already decided in his Heart that if he had the chance in the future, he would repay the other party tenfold.
For example, by opening the largest Blade shop in the World for them.
That would require money, people, Strength, and even more so, Influence/Power!
"Nichirin Blade."
Muichiro Tokito also drew half of his Blade, whose surface shimmered with a light blue layer, and responded somewhat indifferently. He hadn't experienced the Matters from the 'Canon' yet, and his Memory hadn't recovered either.
"Then, I'll attack first."
As soon as he finished Speaking, there was a crisp swish as the Blade was drawn from its sheath. He held the Blade with both hands and thrust forward.
At the same time, thick White Mist surged around him, enveloping his figure, making it impossible to see his subsequent movements and Blade path. It gave William the Feeling of a surging wave of Clouds and Mist rushing towards him.
"Mist Breathing, First Form, Hanging Sky Distant Mist!"
His Speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, the Clouds and Mist had engulfed William's entire Body.
The next second, as the Mist gradually dissipated, Muichiro Tokito's figure reappeared behind William.
However, the Expression of this Genius youth showed no sign of joy. Instead, he frowned and looked back, surprised to find that William was still standing in place. Only the left side of his back had a Hole, and faint White Mist seemed to be rising from inside the Hole.
"That is..."
Giyu Tomioka, watching from a distance, his Expression turned stern.
"Ah, I forgot to mention earlier, I'm also a Devil Fruit User, a Logia System Steam Fruit Ability User. I wonder if you can understand that."
William patted his chest, which had returned to its original state, and turned around in surprise to look at Muichiro Tokito.
"But your Speed is really fast, and that sudden surge of mist... are you an Ability User too?"
He had also trained in Swordsmanship for a few years in Shimotsuki Clan village before, feeling that he had just scratched the surface in this area. In the East Blue, he had hardly encountered any Opponents who could suppress him.
This also made the Value of Muichiro Tokito and Giyu Tomioka in his Heart gradually increase.
"Mist Breathing, First Form, Hanging Sky Distant Mist!"
However, Muichiro Tokito clearly had no interest in Speaking further with him and launched another rapid thrust towards William, causing the latter to put away his Smile and become serious.
"JET. Spray!"
With a Roar and a Loud Noise, a mass of White Mist exploded beneath William's feet. Amidst the surging Heatwave, a large amount of Sand splattered. His legs had transformed into High Temperature Steam spraying backward.
[Duang————]
The light blue Blade wrapped in wisps of White Mist fiercely collided with the Blade with a Small Irregular Temper Pattern coated in a layer of High Temperature Steam.
As mentioned before.
The Special Effect of Breathing Style is essentially a tangible Sword Wind.
This resulted in a scene where two Air Currents, one cold and one hot, and Heat clashed against each other, reaching a stalemate.
Although Muichiro Tokito didn't use the 'Cells Enhancement Serum', under the amplification of Breathing Style on his Physical Ability, he could temporarily possess Strength comparable to a Headquarters Officer.
As for William, he was just an ordinary Sea Star Person who had trained in Swordsmanship for three or four years. If it weren't for the power assistance from the Steam jet, he might not even be able to suppress the former in a pure Strength comparison.
However, his Advantage lay in Stamina!
And his biggest Advantage was, of course, his Logia System Ability.
After William realized his Swordsmanship was inferior to his Opponent's, he immediately performed a full Body Element Transformation without a word, completely turning into a mass of High Temperature Steam and enveloping the other party with a whooshing sound.
This is what you call being unreasonable!
"Mist Breathing, Third Form, Scattering Mist Splash."
Muichiro Tokito also noticed that although he couldn't injure William, the opponent's Steam could be blocked by Sword Wind. He immediately unleashed a wide-range Sword Technique.
He rotated his Body while rotating his Blade, releasing more, denser White Mist.
At the same time.
He himself also disappeared within the mist. However, the next moment, he suddenly reappeared and, in a sliding posture, cut through the mass of Steam that William had Manifested into.
"Mist Breathing, Fourth Form, Shifting Flow Slash!"
This Sword Technique also conveniently replenished the gradually dissipating mist Special Effect, allowing his figure to once again disappear into it.
The two streams of White Mist, one real and one fake, continued to mix together like this.
The current Situation was that Muichiro Tokito couldn't injure William, and William, who didn't have Observation Haki yet, couldn't find Muichiro Tokito.
Moreover, he had only recently eaten the Fruit, so the total amount of Steam was limited. It was difficult to cover the entire hundred-meter radius, so he could only constantly dash left and right, trying to find the other party.
However, with the High Temperature of the Steam present, the temperature In the Court was rising at an extremely fast Speed.
