Chapter 526: A World Where Sword Masters Are Worse Than Dogs!
"Didn't expect the first person to Awaken the 'Demon Slayer Three-Piece Set' of 'Demon Slayer Mark', 'Transparent World', and 'Crimson Blade' to be Muichiro Tokito. It must be said he's truly worthy of being a Bloodline Descendant of Yoriichi Tsugikuni; he is indeed a Genius."
Inside the fourth-floor botanical garden of Noah's Ark, Im saw the changes in Giyu Tomioka and the others and naturally recognized them immediately.
Thinking carefully.
He really hadn't revealed the matters of 'Demon Slayer Mark' and 'Transparent World' to his subordinates. After all, these two Abilities are clearly exclusive Bloodline Talents of the 'Demon Slayer People' and have nothing to do with him.
However, this 'Demon Slayer Mark', although it can greatly enhance a person's Combat Power, can also cause other 'Demon Slayer Swordsmen' to develop the 'Demon Slayer Mark' through resonance.
But its Side Effect is also very terrifying. Except for people like Yoriichi Tsugikuni and Kamado Tanjiro who inherently possess the 'Demon Slayer Mark', others cannot live past twenty-five years old after Awakening it.
Therefore, this is a passive Ability that greatly Consumes Lifespan.
In comparison.
Transparent World is the truly good thing. It's equivalent to Observation Haki with a smaller Perception range but includes X-ray Vision Ability. Unfortunately, this thing cannot spread to others like the 'Demon Slayer Mark'.
"However, the problem of Lifespan is not without a solution..."
Im silently watched the Combat on the Virtual Screen and pondered this matter in his Heart.
Right.
The previous match involving Muzan Kibutsuji and the others was won by them without a doubt. There's nothing more to say about this; he had long expected it.
The current Muzan Kibutsuji, except for people like Crocodile and Smoothie who have special attack Abilities against moisture, is difficult for anyone below Admiral to deal with.
Even one day, when his Haki quality improves, it's not impossible for him to reach Admiral Level Combat Power.
Although, given his current Personality, this possibility is very low...
Speaking of the 'Demon Slayer Mark' matter.
The problem of Lifespan generally has two possibilities: one is the consumption of Life Force, and the other is a rule-based Curse.
Just like the Boys of the Ubuyashiki Family, they have been weak and sickly for nearly a thousand years. They not only slowly go blind and become disfigured with Time, but are even so weak that laughing loudly causes them to vomit blood, and coughing causes Bone Fracture.
But when Muzan Kibutsuji evolved into a 'Perfect Being', their Body naturally recovered its Health.
This is the so-called 'Curse'.
Similarly.
Before, when the 'Curse' was still present, using the 'Future Sight' Ability once a year was enough to make the men of the Ubuyashiki Family lie in bed for over two months and would also exacerbate the degree of their Body's deterioration.
But now, although it's not that exaggerated.
But after using it, they also become extremely tired, needing at least one or two weeks of Time to recover from the weakness.
After the Medical Academy's examination, it was determined that it was the result of a sudden large loss of Mental Power and Life Force. Fatigue was due to insufficient Mental Power, and weakness was due to insufficient Life Force.
Regarding Mental Power, there is no way; one can only rely on rest. But there are multiple ways to replenish Life Force.
First is enhancing their Total Cell Count, which will improve their overall Physique. Also, eating high Nutrition Food daily, such as the Meat of Sea Kings and so on, can also quickly recover Life Force.
In addition to this, the 'Purple Butterfly Emergency Pill' developed by Shinobu Kocho also has a certain Effect.
So in Im's view, regarding the Lifespan problem of the 'Demon Slayer Mark', it first needs to be determined what category it belongs to. If it's the former, then it's not worth mentioning; its Value to the World Government will be greatly reduced.
But if it's the latter, then it's worth the World Government giving it some Importance.
Why?
As mentioned before, the 'Demon Slayer Mark' will, like a resonance, cause the 'Demon Slayer Swordsmen' around the Awakened User to Awaken the 'Demon Slayer Mark' one after another. That means it can mass-produce 'Demon Slayer Mark Swordsmen'!
In this way, the Value of the people from the 'Demon Slayer World' naturally increased somewhat.
It's just not yet certain whether only the 'Foot Basin Chicken Person' in the 'Second Special Zone' can develop the 'Demon Slayer Mark', or if everyone in that World can.
Also.
Without undergoing specific Experiment before, Im also dared not be certain if the 'Demon Slayer Mark' only resonates among 'Demon Slayer People'. Is it possible that the Medium is actually the 'Breathing Style'?
This is naturally the best result. If Sea Star People who learn the 'Breathing Style' can also Awaken the 'Demon Slayer Mark', then it would be a lot of fun...
It's just that the possibility is too low.
Thinking of these things, Im didn't care about continuing to watch the match of Giyu Tomioka, Muichiro Tokito, and the others. He immediately ordered Stussy to record what he was about to say and then convey it to the Five Elders to handle.
Historia, who was beside him, felt more and more surprised the more she listened. She secretly thought in her Heart, "So the people of the 'Demon Slayer World' also have Bloodline Talent similar to the Power of the Titans?"
At this moment, her Gaze suddenly looked towards Mikasa, who was standing behind her.
Because she felt that compared to the 'Power of the Titans', the 'Demon Slayer Mark' and 'Transparent World' seemed more similar to the Talent of the Ackerman Clan.
After Stussy left, Im continued to watch the 'Demon Slayer Corps' match.
For him, it was actually no different from watching anime. Mainly, the Special Effects of the 'Breathing Style' were indeed very abundant. In the Screen Feed, there were Flame, water flow, White Mist, Gale, White Snake everywhere, and it looked quite beautiful.
In fact, the Combat scenes of these 'Hashira' also indeed attracted countless Audience members before the Live Broadcast.
There were also some people who recognized Levi and Mima Amatori from the previous match, who were using precisely the Sword Techniques of Sanemi Shinazugawa and Obanai Iguro. Only after listening to Stella's narration did they understand the relationship between the two.
As for Im, he suddenly had a whimsical idea.
The widespread nature of the Breathing Style is so good, then is it possible to publicly release the cultivation method to the entire World?
Imagine that scene: in the Future World, anyone aspiring to become Strong, even if they cannot enter a Professional Kendo Dojo to learn Swordsmanship for various reasons.
They can also find the local Police Station or other related Departments, request a copy of a 'Breathing Style' and 'School Sword Technique' suitable for themselves, and then relatively conveniently master a Swordsmanship.
What kind of Effect will this produce?
It will lead to an overall improvement in the War Potential of the Sea Star Civilization!
After ten-plus years, it will truly become a terrifying World where Swordsmen are everywhere and Sword Masters are worse than dogs. Any Young People encountering a Matter will be able to draw their Blade and unleash 'Wind, Fire, Thunder, Water'...
As soon as Im thought of these things, his mood became filled with Excitement.
For him, every change in the Sea Star World is so interesting, let alone a Matter like the widespread adoption of 'Breathing Style', which will definitely cause big changes.
"Right, can the cultivation methods for Armament Haki and Observation Haki also be publicly released?"
Im's eyes lit up. He no longer had the mood to watch any 'anime', but instead started thinking about the possibility of doing this and the subsequent consequences.
If the Two Colors of Haki can be publicly released, although they are not as easy to practice as the 'Breathing Style', they will also further enhance the War Potential of the World.
This seems like a good thing, but he was worried about whether it would cause too much upheaval in the entire Society, or even affect the stable Rule of the World Government.
Currently, Haki outside is mainly acquired through the self-realization of Experts; they learn it while fighting during Combat. Even if someone teaches it, it's one-on-one teaching due to various relationships.
Even the previous BIG MOM, Kaido, and Whitebeard didn't gather their subordinates and specifically teach them to master Haki.
In the entire World, only the Marine Headquarters and Cipher Pol would do this kind of Matter.
"Let's not. Haki can wait a bit longer. However, the 'Breathing Style' can indeed be publicly released first..."
Im still prepared to play it safe and first see the Effect after the widespread adoption of the Breathing Style by the entire population.
