Uchiha Puppet Master, Starting from One Piece

Having witnessed the somewhat crude offense and defense of the two giants' battle, a faint hint of disapproval flashed across Unohana Retsu's eyes.

She finally broke the silence, her voice gentle yet carrying an undeniable certainty.

"While your fighting spirit is pure, your understanding of the essence of combat is too simplistic. Without absolutely sufficient power, some variations in combat are still necessary."

Dorry and Brogy turned to look at each other simultaneously, their large, bell-like eyes filled with astonishment. Dorry stood up, leaning on his greatsword, his chest still heaving with rapid breathing: "Our glory is forged in such fierce battles."

Broki gripped his giant axe tightly: "This is the wisdom of life in Elbaf, this is the way of fighting in Elbaf, and this is the way Elbaf fights to dominate the seas."

Then, Dongli looked at Unohana Retsu, who was holding a sword, and said, "In that case, little girl, since you're using a sword, why don't we have a match?"

"A little girl?"

Unohana Retsu smiled slightly: "Very well, battle is an art of sculpting life and death. Since you two are interested, I will gladly oblige."

She paused, her gaze sweeping over the wounds on the two men: "You two were just finished fighting fiercely. Let me treat you and give you two days to rest and recover. Then I will spar with you again."

Seeing her composure, Donley and Brogy knew that they were not strong enough at the moment, and that it would be dishonorable to force a fight.

Dongli snorted heavily: "Fine! In two days, we'll make you understand what fancy techniques are needed when faced with absolute power, especially with just the two of us."

Brogy nodded in agreement, completely unaware of Retsu Unohana's terrifying strength.

Actually, a two-on-one situation is not a disgraceful act for the Giants, because it was requested by the opponent.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and in the open space of the small garden, Donley and Brogy had already recovered to their peak condition.

They stood side by side, their giant axes and swords gleaming coldly in the sunlight, their fighting spirit even stronger than before, clearly regarding Unohana Retsu's comments as a provocation that had to be refuted.

Retsu Unohana was still dressed in a plain white kimono, her long hair loosely tied in front of her chest. She simply stood quietly opposite the two of them, looking as slender as a willow in the wind, yet exuding a calm and steadfast demeanor.

Bai Yu and the others stood aside watching the battle. Rangiku couldn't help but whisper, "Is Hana-nee really alright? The strength of those two giants is no joke."

Robin responded softly, "Don't rush, Sister Hua's strength is far more than it appears on the surface."

"Girl, are you ready? We won't go easy on you just because you're a woman!"

"Broki roared, his arm muscles bulging, and his giant axe, accompanied by a whistling sound as it tore through the air, cleaved first toward Unohana Retsu.

With this strike, the axe blade carved a deep trench in the ground, and the shockwave kicked up clouds of dust.

Dongli was equally decisive, his greatsword following closely behind, sweeping across from the other side. The blade whistled as it rubbed against the air. The two attacks, one slashing and one sweeping, formed a pincer movement, compressing Unohana Retsu's dodge space to the extreme.

To the giants, this blow was enough to crush the slender woman before them into dust; after all, even hard rock would turn to dust under such an attack.

However, since Unohana was so confident, they naturally gave it their all.

However, despite the overwhelming attack from both sides, Retsu Unohana's figure moved with the lightness of a ghost.

She lightly touched the ground with her toes, her body suddenly rising high, just avoiding the collision range of the giant axe and the greatsword. The two weapons collided heavily.

A deafening clang rang out, sending sparks flying and the immense impact causing the surrounding trees to sway violently, scattering leaves everywhere.

The giants were taken aback, not expecting her to dodge so easily.

Before they could adjust their offensive, Retsu Unohana's figure had already appeared behind Broki.

Her sword, gleaming with a faint cold light, seemed to gently pierce Broki's back.

Brogy felt a sharp but not domineering aura coming towards him, and he wanted to turn around to defend himself, but it was too late.

"Ugh!" Brogy groaned, his massive body staggering forward several steps as if his bones had been removed, the giant axe in his hand falling to the ground with a clang.

He turned his head and looked up, his eyes filled with disbelief. He felt no sharp pain in his back, but he was completely powerless, as if the flow of power within him had been cut off by some ingenious technique.

Enraged by this, Tori swung his greatsword fiercely at Unohana Retsu.

Unohana Retsu spun sideways, dodging the sword's edge, while simultaneously tapping the greatsword's blade with her left index finger. The seemingly casual touch contained incredibly precise force; Tori felt a strange power coursing through the blade, numbing his tiger's mouth and causing his fingers, which were gripping the hilt, to loosen slightly.

He hurriedly tried to steady the sword, but saw Unohana Retsu's figure flash by, already circling around to his side, and gently bumping his ribs with her right elbow.

This attack was extremely precise, striking precisely at the point where the power within his body was flowing.

Dongli grunted, unable to hold onto the greatsword any longer. It flew out of his hand and crashed heavily into the ground some distance away, its blade still trembling.

In just a few breaths, the two giants who had dominated the small garden for a hundred years had dropped their weapons, their strength waning, and they were no longer able to launch an attack.

They stared blankly at Retsu Unohana before them, their eyes filled with shock, their large, round eyes brimming with bewilderment and incomprehension.

Retsu Unohana slowly withdrew her hand, her expression still calm: "Fighting is not just about brute force. So-called skill is about understanding every vital point of the human body, grasping the rhythm of power flow, and achieving the most effective result with the least cost."

Her voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of the two giants.

"Glory is certainly worth upholding, but blind brute force will only turn the battle into a meaningless waste of energy."

Dorry and Brogy exchanged a glance, both seeing frustration and realization in each other's eyes.

They have fought for a century, always taking pride in their strength and courage, but they never imagined that battle could reach such a level.

Brogy bent down to pick up the giant axe, but found that when he held the weapon again, he felt less blinded and more thoughtful about the battle itself.

Dongli retrieved the greatsword as well. He looked at Unohana Retsu with a simple, honest admiration on his face: "You're very strong... much stronger than us."

This acknowledgment was entirely genuine, stemming from absolute recognition of their capabilities.

Retsu Unohana nodded slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips: "Your willpower is admirable. If you can combine this pure fighting spirit with precise skills, your battles will truly become something to be proud of."

As dawn broke and sunlight fell upon the three, the giants' massive bodies no longer exuded their previous ferocity, but instead gained a sense of tranquility.

Shiraha and the others stepped forward, and Rangiku couldn't help but exclaim, "Hana-nee, you're amazing! Is this what they call Yachiru?"

Retsu Unohana smiled but didn't say anything, instead turning her gaze to the distant jungle.

Dorry and Brogy stood side by side, gazing at the weapons in their hands, their minds, unchanged for a century, beginning to shift slightly.
