A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 51 Shadow Warrior

"Paper, and, strong, fierce, mad?"

In cell number 9527, Akizuki Ritsu stroked his chin.

If this ranking system were applied to the world of One Piece:

纸、

They're just standard grunts.

They're the kind of marines who can't even get a bounty posted, the kind who carry guns in naval bases.

Of course, no matter how weak they were, they were still much stronger than ordinary people; they were all skilled with swords and spears and had been through many battles.

并、

They are elite grunts of major powers, officers of small pirate crews, and petty officers and lieutenants in the Navy; they can wield some swordsmanship and dare to charge into a hail of bullets with their swords, easily catching a dozen or so burly men off guard. At this level, they already have bounties, although only in the range of several million to ten million Berries.

强、

The captain of a small pirate crew, a minor leader of a large force, corresponds to the rank of officer in the Navy.

In terms of bounty, it starts at tens of millions. Don't underestimate this level; in fact, for ordinary people, it's already a 'big shot' that they need to look up to: Luffy, who conquered the East Blue, only earned around thirty million.

凶、

Captains of ships that sail the world, ordinary officers on great sea routes, and naval officers;

They have their own unique style and abilities, and their bounties are in the tens of millions, or even approaching the threshold of a hundred million. They always appear surrounded by a retinue and dominate their region: provided they don't provoke a real master.

mad,
Without a doubt, this level is equivalent to a bounty of hundreds of millions.

Captain of the New World, leader of a faction, Vice Admiral of the Navy;

Each of them is renowned, their sword energy can reach hundreds of meters, and they can easily take down a fleet without any experts; they possess dual-color Haki, so they have almost no weaknesses, but their level can fluctuate greatly: for example, the vice admirals who often become stepping stones.

"However, these are all just 'settings'."

Let alone island nations and the American government, even Akizuki Ritsu, this 'supernatural source';
His strength relies entirely on his Devil Fruit powers; he may seem intimidating, but he's actually just a glass cannon and can't be considered a true powerhouse.

What these levels should look like will ultimately have to wait until the 'spiritual energy revival' and more and more powerful individuals verify it. Therefore:
"Everyone must strive to improve themselves in order to embrace a bright future."

If the oxen and horses don't work hard, how can the boss enjoy a life of luxury?

Of course, Akizuki Ritsu herself wasn't idle either: although her main body spent her days in prison reading books, her clones were actually out in all directions, causing trouble everywhere—this process was a training ground for various Devil Fruit abilities.

And that super enhancer...
It can grant ordinary people the physique to the 'One Piece world'.

Although I don't have much ability, this step is the most crucial!
Only by acquiring such a physique can one cultivate 'qi' and, in the later stages, awaken the power of 'domineering qi'.

At first glance, it seems like a bad thing: because Haki would suppress Devil Fruit abilities. But Akizuki Ritsu isn't the kind of person who's content with staying in one small place; since he's transmigrated to another world, he naturally wants to change this world according to his own wishes, so why not set a bigger goal?
To become extraordinary throughout the world, to break free of the solar system, to dominate the universe and the Milky Way, and even to advance into all realms and worlds—

The more powerful the people in this world are, the stronger their source becomes.

Human dreams never end:
I'm determined to be the mastermind behind the scenes!

She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The world has no way of knowing someone's ambitions.

Ordinary people are still bewildered, continuing their routines as if out of habit; those teenagers who complain about being bored every day suddenly find that the world is really starting to change dramatically, yet they are at a loss and don't know where to start.

They can only wander around places like remote mountain villages, abandoned hospitals, and old amusement parks, trying their luck.

Meanwhile, the 'insiders' are already itching to get their hands on the 'super enhancer'.

Being one step ahead is the secret to success!

Every industry is a snowball effect.
The winner takes all, while the loser eats the dust.

However, the super enhancer is a collaborative project between America and the island nation, and many high-ranking officials and dignitaries are eagerly waiting for it. How could it be anyone else's turn?
There is actually another way to obtain 'supernatural powers':

"Mr. Machii, you really don't need us."

After getting out of the black sedan, the Metropolitan Police Department's superintendent asked one last question.

"unnecessary,"

The middle-aged man, dressed in samurai attire and traditional clothing, refused without hesitation.

“This is a sacred duel,”

"Even if I don't care, what will Lord Gou Chen think?"

"Yes, yes, I was being presumptuous."

Seeing this Heisei Sword Saint invoke the name of 'Gouchen', how could the Superintendent dare to say another word? He bowed deeply while cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

Besides, so what if the Machii family installs all sorts of high-tech equipment?
That Lord 'Gou Chen' has already clashed head-on with the American army, proving that so-called high-tech weapons are just toys in front of him: if the Metropolitan Police Department makes trouble for the Machii family and angers them, they will directly attack Chiyoda Sakura Gate, and then everyone will just have to wait to die on the spot.

Let's walk together on the road to the underworld, and be good friends again in the next life?

wrong,

Lord Gouchen,
But it can capture souls!
At that point, it will be difficult to even die: who knows what kind of torment your soul will suffer.

"Mr. Machii, please take care."

Only after the other party pushed open the door and entered their own courtyard did the Metropolitan Police Department personnel dare to leave.

Normally, he, as a police superintendent with real power, would be far more prestigious than this nominal 'Sword Saint'; but now, the other party is the one challenged by Lord Gouchen, and not to mention the Metropolitan Police Department, even the royal family would not dare to act arrogantly at this time.

Otherwise, during the duel, if Machii Isao were to say just a few words, countless people would die.

"Annoying guy,"

Back at his dojo, the middle-aged man, Machii Isao, frowned.

There's some trouble. Now that I'm standing in the 'light,' it's inconvenient for me to continue playing the 'ninja' and going out at night to test my sword.

Furthermore, if one displays supernatural power in a duel: if one dies in battle, that's the end of it; but if one survives, how should one deal with the government?

He had killed many American soldiers, so it was impossible for him to just laugh it off: given America's character, unless he worked for America for the rest of his life, or even his flesh and blood became someone else's test subject.

Machii Isao would definitely not want to do something like this.

So,

I took out my phone and dialed a number.

soon:

With a whoosh, the wooden door of the dojo was pulled open, and a young girl knelt in front of it.

"Father, you wanted to see me?"

The girl was tall and well-proportioned, with her hair tied in a bun, looking neat and tidy, clearly an athletic student.

Of course, with her family's scholarly tradition, the girl had also held the 'Jade Dragon Flag'.

Machii Rin

Machii Isao's daughter,

"Come in and close the door."

Then, a real knife, gleaming with cold light, was thrown at the girl.

Snapped,

Reaching out, she grabbed the hilt of the knife in mid-air, and tilted her head in confusion.

Because her father picked up a bamboo sword from the weapon rack next to the dojo: a bamboo sword is made of four bamboo strips wrapped with cloth and used for practicing kendo; it is much safer than a real sword, a molded sword, or a wooden sword.

"Father, what's wrong—"

Are you planning to fight her with a bamboo knife?
What a joke!
She learned swordsmanship from a young age. She dared not compare herself to her father, but her swordsmanship was still quite advanced.

Using a real blade against a bamboo knife is like a dimensional reduction attack!

This is something that no skill can compensate for. Just like no matter how strong a boxer is, he can only surrender when faced with a gun in the hands of a frail woman.

"Come,"

The middle-aged man, Machii Isao, didn't waste any words; he simply pointed the bamboo sword in his hand at his daughter.

"Father, please give me your guidance."

Since her father insisted, the young girl, Machii Rin, didn't think much of it; she spread her hands apart, holding the sword in front of her back, and stepped forward with her right leg in a lunge stance, assuming a fighting posture.

brush----

The next second, a silver light suddenly flashed and slashed towards Machii Isao, who was holding a bamboo sword!

The timing, angle, and speed of this strike were impeccable, but:

Snapped!
A crisp sound,
The girl who swung her sword stumbled.

The back of his right hand was visibly red and swollen, making any attempt to strike his father out of the question.

"Are you looking down on me?"

A cold voice rang out, and Machii Isao glanced at his daughter with displeasure.

"Aiming at non-vital areas, you idiot!"

".yes!"

Upon exchanging blows, the girl realized how terrifyingly strong her father was and abandoned her initial contempt.

"Please be careful with it!"

Now, she's going to give it her all!

Snap, snap, snap, snap—

A dozen seconds later, Machii Rin, who had been giving it her all, lay on the floor, convulsing and questioning her existence.

Impossible! This is impossible!
He had practiced with his father more than once or twice.
Although I lost more often than I won in the past, I did have some victories.

To put it bluntly, any sport is best enjoyed by young people; there's no such thing as getting stronger with age.

Even kendo, spearmanship, and karate
Fists fear youth, and so does the stick!
I'll smash you with this stick; you can't block it, you can't catch it, you can only dodge. But as you get older, how can you be as agile as a young person? Not to mention your physical strength.

To put it bluntly, even Tyson, with an absolute numerical advantage, was defeated by a young internet celebrity boxer.

Unless the skill difference is too great: However, Machii Rin is by no means a weakling!
"Father, sir, what is this?"

"This is the true teaching of the Unbound Iaijutsu, which is what outsiders call 'supernatural power'."

???

The girl, lying on the floor, ignored the pain all over her body and struggled to get up in surprise.

"Father, you are not—"

Are you assigning her to gather information on the supernatural?

Yes!

This is a disguise.

In fact, the father had already mastered supernatural powers.

"You've already thought of that,"

From her daughter's face, Machii Isao already knew what she was thinking: her daughter had excellent intelligence, emotional intelligence, and talent, but unfortunately—

He wasn't a boy, so he couldn't inherit his swordsmanship.

Women are inherently weaker.

The reason why various competitions are divided into men and women is that if a man participates in a women's competition, it's like a game of cat and mouse!
Despite winning the women's 'Jade Dragon Flag', Machii Rin couldn't even get past the preliminaries in the men's division.

This is a hopeless gap.

"Next, I will teach you 'swordsmanship'."

"If I gain supernatural powers, you will be my 'shadow warrior'."

The term "shadow warrior" actually means "body double." In ancient Japan, powerful figures would prepare "shadow warriors" to fight in their place, attend dangerous events, and so on.

To clear oneself of suspicion, a 'shadow warrior' is needed.

"Yes, Father!"

The girl knelt down on one knee.

He bowed his head to accept the order, his shoulders trembling slightly.

This time, this time, I will definitely not let Father down!
