One Piece: Starting with Breathing Techniques

After doing all this, Kiro closed his eyes and regulated the chaotic energy within his body.

The Gale Breath creates a wind curtain during battle that can keep bloodstains, dust, and other contaminants away from the body.

Therefore, judging from his appearance alone, Kilo did not seem to have just fought a fierce battle with everyone, but was taking a stroll, and was exceptionally clean.

When I opened my eyes again, my breathing was now steady and regular.

This breathing technique from the Demon Slayer world can greatly enhance cardiopulmonary function through a special breathing method, allowing the blood to obtain a large amount of oxygen in a short period of time, thereby strengthening physical abilities such as strength, speed, and reaction.

If you can maintain this breathing technique for a long time, your physical fitness will be refined and your body will gradually become stronger.

When Kilo obtained the Breath of Gale through deduction, his proficiency panel was restored and strengthened, which enhanced Kilo's relatively weak physique.

His muscles were clearly defined and distinct, and beads of sweat slid down his forehead and dripped from the handsome young man's cheeks.

His face was slightly flushed, not only because he had inhaled a bit of the highly toxic fragrance released by Horney, but also because the battle just now had greatly depleted his strength.

To ensure a decisive victory, he used the extremely powerful Yang Hua Tu from the Breath of the Sun technique when killing Horney, guaranteeing absolute success.

Facing the attack of four people, Kiro seemed relaxed and at ease, using the high-speed movement brought by the gale to easily divide the battlefield and kill his opponents one by one.

However, maintaining a hurricane of this magnitude is actually a considerable burden for Kilo right now.

Not to mention that he also had to fight four people. If the enemies hadn't lost their will to fight to the death and hadn't been focused on escaping, they would have fought almost individually in the end, giving him the opportunity to defeat them one by one. The outcome of the battle would probably have been very different.

After all, there are three Devil Fruit users among them, making them formidable enemies.

If they join forces, they might not be able to defeat Kilo, but it wouldn't be a problem for one or two of them to escape.

But there are no "what ifs." Their hesitation in battle sealed their fate.

Kiro strode into the conference room and swiftly killed the still unconscious Frostwitch with a single blow.

[Slayed a pirate with a bounty of 20 million, +8 points]

Looking down at this rare dual-swordsman, Kiro felt a surge of emotion.

This man not only arrogantly challenged him to a duel, but also provided him with excellent weapons.

What a kind person!

Looking around the conference room, Kiro noticed that the young man in the suit and gold-rimmed glasses who had appeared earlier was nowhere to be seen, and a dark, hidden passageway had appeared behind the wall of the conference room.

There were many obvious drag marks extending from the conference hall into the secret passage, indicating that a lot of things had been temporarily moved.

By interrogating one of the guards, Kiro learned that this was the stronghold of the Thorn Merchant Guild.

A young man named Qige runs the Thorn Merchant Guild, which deals in slaves and is the largest slave trader in the Western Sea.

At this moment, it is clear that Qige has realized the situation is not good and has already escaped through the back door reserved in the conference hall.

Looking at the unknown secret passage, Kiro had no intention of pursuing it any further.

Putting aside whether he can catch up with Qige, who has been on the run for who knows how long, he would have a hard time dealing with any traps or ambushes in the narrow passage.

He doesn't like being passive or controlled by others.

However, he had already memorized Qige's appearance. He knew he would see him again someday, and it wouldn't be too late to kill him then.

Kiro had no intention of showing mercy to the scum who bought and sold slaves.

After looking around, Kiro noticed a huge, dark safe in the messy conference room.

It seems that because she left in a hurry, Qige did not take the safe with her.

Kilo's eyes lit up, and he quickly walked to the safe, but then he was at a loss for what to do.

In the world of One Piece, a swordsman who can cut through iron with his sword can be called a master swordsman.

The material of this safe is clearly much harder than ordinary iron.

Clearly, Kiro is not yet worthy of being called a swordsman and cannot cut through this safe.

It's not that he lacked skill; it's simply that his physique couldn't support the activity.

This requires immense power, the ability to comprehend the breath of all things, master the profound art of cutting through iron, and become a renowned swordsman.

Sword masters are incredibly powerful and extremely rare; in the Four Seas, where true masters are scarce, it's almost impossible to find one.

Of all the swordsmen who roam the world, Kiro only remembers one: Koushirou, who had retired to Shimotsuki Village.

Looking at the huge safe in front of him with some worry, Kiro suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He turned around, picked up the severed arm of the wolf, and used its sharp claws as a tool to chop at the safe.

boom!

A loud clanging sound of metal striking metal rang out, and Kiro's eyes lit up as he saw the three deep claw marks on the safe.

There is a play!

boom! boom! boom!

After swinging it countless times, Kiro threw away his severed arm, and the safe in front of him was split in two.

Large amounts of Pele cash floated out and spilled onto the ground unexpectedly.

Kiro was overjoyed and casually rummaged through a backpack in the conference room, stuffing a large amount of Bailey into it.

When he was halfway through packing, his fingers paused, and he picked out a Pele card that felt obviously different to the touch.

Kiro carefully examined the Pele image, his fingers rubbing together rapidly.

chap!

The Pele sheet was broken into three pieces during the friction, with a thin document sandwiched between two Pele sheets.

With a frown, Kiro began to examine the contents of the document.

"Commodore Kuka, commander of the 72nd Naval Branch of the Western Sea, was in charge of the second batch of slave transport in 1500."

交接时间：海圆历1500年7月2日——7月4日。

Departure date: July 7th, 1500 (Haiyuan calendar).

After confirming that the information was correct, Kiro's eyes turned cold, and he tore the document to shreds with both hands.

The Navy...it's the Navy again!!!

He remembered that the newspaper said today was July 4th.

In other words, the slaves he just rescued were only a part of them.

More slaves have been sent by Qige to the 72nd Naval Branch.

call...

Kilo lowered his gaze, staring at the ground.

My feelings are inexplicably complicated.

He didn't actually have to risk his life to save these slaves who had nothing to do with him.

If he and Robin are kept away from the Navy's sight and given some time to develop, they will surely become powerful figures on the sea in due time.

Can......

He couldn't do such a thing.

He couldn't stand idly by and ignore lives that could have been saved.

As a former Demon Slayer Corps swordsman, he did not want to give up any innocent life.

Even if these people have no connection with him, even if he would take huge risks because of it.

But the swordsman's pride wouldn't allow him to back down; only by giving his all could he find peace of mind and a clear conscience.

With a determined look in his eyes and having mentally prepared himself, Kilo began to clean up the mess and tally up the gains of this operation.

The bounties of the five pirates totaled a staggering 103 million!

However, he obviously couldn't collect the bounties from these people.

In the world of One Piece, to claim a bounty, you need to capture the target alive or provide conclusive evidence and hand them over to the Navy.

The most crucial point is that the navy needs to verify the identity of the bounty claimant to prevent pirates from claiming it fraudulently.

As a descendant of Ohara, Kilo obviously could not verify his identity with the navy.

He had no doubt that once he revealed his identity to the Navy, the organization under this world government would likely threaten him.

He couldn't count on the pirate's bounty anymore, but this time he took a full 80 million Berries from the safe alone!

Keep in mind that this is only a small portion that Qige didn't have time to take with her!

He gasped, feeling a sense of unreality at the enormous sum of money he carried.

He was penniless this morning, but now he has 80 million Berries!

However, the biggest gain this time was not the number of peons, but the large number of points obtained!

As consciousness sank into his mind, conspicuous numbers appeared on the panel.
