Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 766 Swordfish Swimming Style - The First Generation Water God Style Secret Technique [Sea Dragon Slash], the Arrival of the Fighting Kingdom

Facing the curious glances from others, Riveria, who was also on the shore, explained: "When Ais was little, she was a strong-willed and easily impulsive child. She was stubbornly determined to become stronger and always shouted things like she wanted to go to the dungeon and kill all the monsters."

Back then, to prevent her from getting into trouble due to her recklessness, I was responsible for training her. Throwing her into the water was simply to help her calm down when she got hot-headed as a child…”

other people:"……"

Physical calm, huh?!
"I never expected that she would become afraid of going into the water."

Nine Demon Princesses were also somewhat surprised.

"Rivieria, I didn't mean to blame you. I did cause you a lot of trouble when I was a child."

Ais, in turn, comforted the elf mother.

"Besides, it's not that I'm afraid of water, it's just that I'm not very good at dealing with liquid environments where my feet might not be able to touch the ground. So, I'll just skip going into the water and watch everyone else have fun on the beach."

"Hey, how can you do that? Being an adventurer who can't swim is a huge weakness. If you have to go into the water in the future, you're doomed. You might even hold the team back. Ais, I think you should take this opportunity to learn to swim."

Loki spoke with great righteousness.

"How about this, I, the supreme deity who is an excellent swimmer, will personally teach you how to swim, child!"

However, her wickedly kneading hands betrayed her true intentions; this rogue goddess wanted to take advantage of Ais while teaching the swordswoman how to swim.

Ultimately, Ais agreed with Loki's statement that her inability to swim might become a burden in the future, but she simply wanted to learn to swim and didn't need Loki, the treacherous chief god, to teach her.

"Damn it!"

Loki was unwilling, but he could only accept that the girls, including Tiona and Lefia, would teach their adorable swordswoman.

"Let's learn how to tread water first."

Tiona took Fiora's hand and they started practicing on the beach.

"Is that right?"

"Yes, Ais, you did a great job."

As expected of a high-level adventurer, the Sword Maiden possesses exceptional control over her body and quickly learned the correct way to tread water.

"Now, I'm going to let you go..."

Tiona let go, but the moment she released her grip, Fiora sank to the ground.

"No, why do you still sink even though you've learned to tread water?"

After pulling the submerged girl from the sea to shallow water, Tiona asked a question out of confusion.

"Sorry, I don't know either, it just sank naturally."

In response, Ais simply hugged the Amazonian girl's waist, coughing and apologizing.

Afterwards, Tiona and Ais tried a few more times, and the group discovered the problem.

“Miss Ais, once you are submerged in water, your whole body will become stiff.”

"It seems to be a lingering effect of being frequently thrown into the water to cool off as a child..."

"How about we try holding our breath underwater first, and see how it feels to be at the bottom?"

Rafia offered a suggestion.

"No, it's completely useless."

After another series of attempts, the result was disappointing.

Once underwater, if her feet cannot find a firm footing, the swordswoman will experience body stiffness.

"Lady Riveria, did you train Miss Ais as some kind of wild beast when she was young?"

Ais's situation is less about not being able to swim and more about having developed a conditioned reflex that she would be at a loss if she were submerged in water. This is a common method used by animal trainers to train wild beasts and even control monsters.

"How about I give it a try?"

Just when everyone who was helping Ais learn to swim was at a loss, Broly, who had been watching for a while, spoke up.

"Hey, Broly, do you have any good ideas?"

Tiona asked curiously.

“I’m not sure if it will work, but I do have an idea.”

"what idea?"

"Everyone has things they are not good at, but if we replace the things we are not good at with things we are good at, wouldn't that reduce the difficulty of learning to do the things we are not good at?"

"Uh, so how exactly do I do it?"

“It’s simple, Ais. You’re good at swordsmanship, right?”

"Ah."

"Then forget about swimming and just learn a new sword technique from me."

Broly didn't know how to solve the problem of conditioned reflexes, but he had once taught Alice, who wasn't good at dancing, to dance.

Ais and Alice are only one word apart, but Broly thinks they should be similar: Alice is not good at dancing, and Ais is not good at swimming.

Alice has a talent for fighting, and so does Ais. Bro taught Alice to dance through fighting, and similarly, he could teach Ais to swim by practicing swordsmanship.

He abandoned the idea of ​​swimming and focused solely on sword practice, sword practice, sword practice, and this training method proved quite effective.

It's impossible for a swordswoman to swim when her body is stiff, but it's possible to make her wield swords in the water while her body is stiff by using her hands and feet as swords.

Standing on the shore, Riveria could only see Ais in the sea, darting through the water like a tuna, suddenly leaping out of the water and then splashing back down.

Although its swimming style is a bit subtle, more like a swordfish than a human, it can indeed splash around in the water, and at a rapid pace.

Along with Ais, Broly, the Saiyan boy who taught the girl this unique swimming style, was also splashing around.

As for why Broly knows this, it's because the Water God Style actually includes this technique—the first Water God of the Six Faces World is famous for slaying the sea dragons that wreaked havoc among the sea creatures.

Although the Water God Style swordsmanship evolved due to the terrestrial environment, it wouldn't be difficult for Broly to reverse-engineer the original version of the Water God Style swordsmanship. It's just that he didn't need to do this kind of reverse-engineering before. Ais just happened to come across it.

"Ugh, shouldn't we come to the beach to play in the water normally? At the very least, we can hug and cuddle in the water, or even get intimate behind the rocks on the sand. Why has it turned into a new swordsmanship training ground?!"

Looking at Broly's figure leaping out of the water on the distant horizon, accompanied by a water blade of the Water God Style's ultimate technique, Sea Dragon Slash, Lily Luca began to complain.

"Warren, you really have a knack for attracting that kid Broly!"

Hestia was also grinding her teeth in the shallow water.

Swimsuits and beauty take a backseat; sword practice brings me joy.

The women in swimsuits in the shallow water area quickly turned their attention to the two people practicing the secrets of swordsmanship.

The waves created by the collision of the Sea Dragon Slashers were so big they were practically surfing.

"Tione, Tiona, I need to ask you a favor."

Some time has passed since Loki went to sea, and he's had enough fun and relaxation. So Loki went to see the Amazon sisters.

"What is it? If you want to touch my butt or rub my breasts, then please forgive me for refusing."

Tiony watched the narrow-eyed man warily.

"Ah, do I seem like such a god?"

Loki started grumbling, then saw the two sisters nod at the same time.

"It's not just like it, it is it."

"Alright, I just want the two of you to dive down to the seabed and see if the Leviathan seal on the underwater entrance leading to the underground city's waterways is still secure."

"Huh?" "I suspect that the man-eating flower monsters that appeared in the city during the last monster festival came out from the underwater tunnel here in Mellen."

Loki explained.

"Ah, no wonder the swimsuits you gave us, Lord Loki, were made of water sprite fabric."

Tiona suddenly realized that coming to Mellen's side was indeed premeditated.

The Amazon sisters did not refuse the task given by the God, and immediately dived into the depths of the sea.

With their swimsuits covered in crystal fabric, they swim just as fast as fish.

Soon, they arrived at the outlet that connected to the underground city's water veins.

Tiony pointed to himself and gestured to the left underwater.

He then pointed to his younger sister and gestured to the right.

Tiona immediately understood what her older sister meant.

The two Amazonian sisters, one on each side, examined the seal made from Leviathan's remains embedded in the spout.

The two carefully inspected the area and found no missing parts of the seal. They met up at the bottom of the sea, and Tiona shook her head at her sister.

Tione thought for a moment, then pointed upwards. Just as the two were about to go up for air and then swim back to report to Loki about the underwater seal,

Two plant-like monsters, resembling sea serpents, swam past in the sea not far away. Tione and Tiona saw them and, who had originally intended to swim back to the surface for air, suddenly changed their course and chased after the man-eating plants in the sea.

"Gurgle..."

One of the carnivorous plants was caught up and quickly eliminated by the Amazonian sisters in perfect coordination, but the other one headed straight for a passing ship overhead.

Tiony and Tiona didn't dare waste any time retrieving the magic stone that had fallen and sunk to the bottom of the sea, so they chased after the second carnivorous plant.

However, they were still a step too late. The carnivorous plant had already reached the ship, just when the two thought the ship would be damaged.

"Bang~"

The man-eating plant, which had just tied itself to the ship, suddenly had its large head explode, instantly killed by the people on the ship.

The people on the ship did not spot the two people in the sea, but Tione saw the sea serpent flag hanging on the ship's side, which was the symbol of the Dou Kingdom [Tir Sculla].

"Sister, isn't that Lady Kali's ship?"

"I saw it without you telling me."

"Hey, sis, where are you going?"

"Of course we'll go ask those guys what they're here for!"

Tiony chased after the ship heading towards the port, and Tiona, unable to stop her, could only follow along.

However, she did take out the communication crystal that Loki had just given her and reported the situation to the supreme god on the other end.

"A war between nations, this is getting a bit troublesome."

Having received Tiona's message, Loki muttered something to himself and then called the others to come ashore.

Before they could even change out of their swimsuits, Loki hurriedly led them toward the harbor.

"Lord Loki, what has happened?"

"Refia asked."

"It hasn't happened yet, but if we get there too late, something might happen."

The ships of the Dou Kingdom arrived at the port, and a large group of Amazonian female warriors disembarked.

Just as the deity in the lead, dressed in very revealing clothes and with a loli-like figure, was about to walk towards the town, a shout came from behind.

"Kali!"

The young goddess, adorned with a half-bone mask on her head and a skull necklace around her neck, turned around and, upon seeing the Amazonian girl running towards her, her eyes lit up with surprise: "Isn't this the child who left my side a few years ago?"

"What are you trying to do by bringing your people here?"

Compared to the goddess's surprise, Tione seemed rather aggressive.

"I'm just here for sightseeing, what's wrong?"

"Stop lying. How could a god like you come here for such a reason?"

Tiony didn't believe Galilee's answer at all.

"Hey, is this how you talk to the gods of the past?"

Kali was somewhat dissatisfied with Tione's attitude.

The Amazon warrior beside her looked at Tione with a somewhat hostile gaze.

“Answer my question.”

Kali ignored Tione's question and looked at the other Amazon girl following behind her.

"Tiona, do you also want to be as hostile towards me, a former goddess, as your sister?"

"Well, although I don't really want to be hostile to Lady Kari, in this situation, I will stand by my sister's side."

Tiona looked at the group of Amazonian women opposite them who were eyeing them menacingly, and chose to stand firmly behind her sister.

"Oh, you two sisters still have such a good relationship. Well then, let me see how much you've grown since you left me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a tall Amazonian woman walked from behind the Lolita goddess to stand in front of Tione.

“Argana…”

Tione, who had already upgraded to Lv.6, instinctively adopted a defensive posture as she looked at the Amazonian woman who came out.

Just as the two sides were locked in a standoff and a battle was about to break out, Loki ran over: "Hey, Kali, what are you trying to do to my child?"

"Hey, isn't this Loki? You're still the same as before, with absolutely no chest."

Kali greeted Loki as he ran over, but the greeting was very unfriendly, which made the Joker Goddess somewhat exasperated.

"Ha, you yourself have a flat chest, so what right do you have to say that about me?!"

“I am acting like a child, while you are acting like an adult.”

As Kali spoke, she looked at Hestia, who had come with her, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Hey, have you gotten along better with this big-breasted loli?"

"Hey, you little brat, you're very rude. What do you mean by 'big-breasted loli'? Don't I have a name?"

Hestia was very unhappy with how Kali addressed her and bared her teeth at her.

"There are too many people; it doesn't seem like a good time for a reunion."

Kali ignored Hestia's bared teeth, glanced at the group of people following behind, and then spoke to Tione.

"Reunion? No, I don't want to see your face again at all."

"On the contrary to you, I have missed both of you very much over the years."

Kali waved her hand.

"Alright, I have other matters to attend to. Let's make another appointment later. Let's go."

After saying that, she left with her people.

Tiony, who did not want to involve others in his private affairs, did not try to stop the other person from leaving.
