Chapter 508: A Proposal for Cooperation!
At this moment, Muichiro Tokito's sensory world was incredibly magical.
First of all.
His hearing, Sense of Smell, taste, and touch – these 'superfluous' senses – were in a semi-closed state, while his vision and Sixth Sense became extremely active, and his Attention was also hyper-focused.
In his eyes, everything in the world became very slow.
The surrounding spinning Water Dragon Twister slowed down, and the splashing water droplets falling to the ground also slowed down.
Even the mass of white Steam that was rapidly spraying seemed to enter slow motion in Mid-air; he could even strongly feel the opponent's next move.
The most magical thing was that he could clearly see the Muscle Tissue, internal organs, and even the Blood flowing in the Blood Vessels inside the Body of the distant Giyu Tomioka, as if he had lost the barrier of his skin.
This, in the Spirit Domain, is called the 'Selfless State'.
Basically, as long as it involves a Supernatural World, there will more or less be similar states.
For example, the 'Transparent World' in the Demon Slayer World, which is called the 'Supreme State'.
Similarly, there is also the 'State of Selflessness' in 'The Prince of Tennis', 'Musō Tensei' in 'Fist of the North Star', and the 'Observation Haki' of the World.
To speak on a larger scale.
'Ultra Instinct' in the 'Dragon Ball World' is probably the true Supreme State among this type of Ability.
And the 'Transparent World' of the Demon Slayer World is equivalent to having an additional special Ability of X-ray Vision on the basis of Observation Haki.
However, compared to true Observation Haki, its Perception range is still a bit too small.
The next moment.
In the Court on the beachside, a violent Roar and shaking sounds immediately erupted, causing many participants deep Inland to subconsciously turn their gazes.
It turned out that William, seeing that dodging was impossible, immediately used his full Strength, meeting Muichiro Tokito's controlled Water Dragon Twister head-on with the maximum possible High Temperature Steam.
Seawater, this kind of thing, if it is to have an Effect on an Ability User.
Then it must submerge more than half of the Ability User's Body parts for the Effect of exhaustion to appear.
Therefore, Ability Users can completely use their own Ability to dodge or block the approach of Seawater.
[Rumble...]
The High Temperature Steam and the icy water waves clashed together, producing a large amount of water vapor. The rolling White Mist not only swallowed up both sides' Court but also swept out in all directions.
This caused Giyu Tomioka to have no choice but to quickly flash and leap onto the top of a Coconut Tree.
In the blink of an eye, it had already turned into a vast expanse of white World. Those who didn't know would have thought they had arrived at a certain Sky Island thousands of meters above.
[Clanging Sound----]
Suddenly, another Clanging Sound of Blades clashing rang out.
This made Giyu Tomioka inwardly think 'not good'. This indicated that William had not been defeated by Muichiro's move just now, and he immediately leaped and rushed over.
On the other side.
William, emitting High Temperature Steam from his entire Body, first glanced in surprise at the similarly hot and red Nichirin Blade, then suppressed the complex emotions in his Heart and looked at Muichiro Tokito, who was facing him.
"What a pity, the amount of water you gathered wasn't enough. After I evaporated more than half of it, the remaining water only reached near my knees!"
Muichiro Tokito did not speak, because he was now even Breathing with all his might.
"However, I am very interested in these strange Abilities of yours. You must properly introduce them to me later~"
After Speaking, William voluntarily withdrew the Blade of 'Yukishiro', then pulled back a few meters, allowing the arriving Giyu Tomioka to support the nearly collapsing Muichiro Tokito.
Immediately after, William saw Giyu Tomioka take out a white Pill from his chest and put it into Muichiro Tokito's mouth.
When the latter bit it into pieces and swallowed it with difficulty, a faint purple aura appeared on his skin, and at the same time, his tired Gaze quickly became lively.
"What is this thing now?"
William truly felt that his eyes had been opened today. These Otherworlders seemed to always be able take out surprising things, which made him increasingly want to talk with the other party about future Cooperation Matters.
"This is the 'Purple Butterfly Emergency Pill'."
Giyu Tomioka answered patiently, seeing that the other party did not make a killing move against Muichiro Tokito.
"However, don't think that you hold the absolute advantage."
"Oh?"
William raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Are you saying that you can defeat me?"
"Just now, Muichiro personally demonstrated the Effect of Seawater on you. It was just because of his Stamina and insufficient cultivation of 'Water Breathing' that the Situation of insufficient water volume occurred."
Seeing that Muichiro Tokito could already stand up on his own, Giyu Tomioka no longer supported the other party. Instead, he placed his Right Hand on the Sword Hilt of his Nichirin Blade and said coldly to William.
"Let me add something about our Identity."
"He is the 'Mist Hashira' of the Demon Slayer Corps, and I am the 'Water Hashira'. Do you want to try fighting me?"
As he spoke these words, behind him was a stretch of night Great Sea under the Moonlight. The endless sound of waves seemed to be the Great Sea constantly cheering for Giyu Tomioka.
This made William fall silent.
He was thinking that if this person in front of him could really summon more Seawater, then he could truly threaten his life.
The main thing was that the current Environment was a bit awkward for him. Originally, as a 'Steam Man', water should have been 'standing' on his side, but the other party's Swordsmanship could actually Control Seawater to attack him.
Also.
He suspected that this Giyu Tomioka in front of him could also, like Muichiro Tokito, have strange patterns appear on his face as they fought, not only increasing his Speed significantly but also allowing him to Predict his actions.
Right.
The other party's Blade was also very strange; it could actually become hot and red?
If he weren't a Logia User, this would also be an extremely threatening strange Ability!
"Alright, since we already have a deep understanding of each other, let's talk about Cooperation Matters, how about it?"
William sheathed 'Yukishiro' into its Scabbard, revealing his initial extremely friendly Smile.
"Cooperation?"
Giyu Tomioka and Muichiro Tokito felt bewildered.
"Yes, as Otherworlders, since you can come to our World, you should also be able to frequently return to your own World, right?" A look of anticipation flickered in William's eyes.
"Yes."
Giyu Tomioka, maintaining caution, did not say how many times a year or how long each time.
"So you can completely bring items from this World back to your own World, or bring items from your own World to this World, right?"
The still very young William somewhat excitedly spread his hands and smiled.
"This is where your Value lies! Once I have a 'Star Gate Pass', we can completely cooperate to establish a cross-World trading Company during this period when most people are restricted from entering and exiting the Star Gate!"
"Just think about it, how great the Interests would be if things from the World were sold in your World, and these Interests can also bring you abundant Wealth and Resources!"
Giyu Tomioka and Muichiro Tokito exchanged a glance, while William's speech continued.
"You Take Office within the World Government, so you certainly don't have much Time. But I can be responsible for the supply of Goods from the World side, transportation, and other Matters, while you only need to help bring a portion of the Goods and establish channel Organizations in your World!"
