One Piece: Starting with Breathing Techniques

Chapter 155 Limit-Breaking Special Effects: Foreseeing the Future

Without opening his eyes, Kiro brought his right index and middle fingers together into a sword-like gesture and, without warning, slashed across the sky to his right.

A tiny wisp of sword energy suddenly detached from the sword finger, speeding through the air and creating a faint whistling sound.

The sword energy flew forward and was about to rush into the clouds above, but Kilo did not show any abnormality and kept his eyes fixed on the sword energy.

Just before the sword energy was about to dissipate, a news bird, appearing out of nowhere, suddenly burst out of the clouds.

Before it could react, the newsbird, which had strayed into the clouds and was in a hurry to find its way back, was horrified to see a sharp sword aura rapidly enlarging in its field of vision.

"Gu-ga!!!"

The newsbird let out a scream, closed its eyes in fear, and waited for a long time but did not feel the excruciating pain and cold it had imagined.

It opened its eyes in confusion, only to find that the dangerous sword aura in front of it had inexplicably dissipated.

What it didn't know was that the sword energy, under extremely precise control, only slightly cut a small opening in the backpack hanging around its neck.

A newspaper happened to slip out and fall straight down onto the small boat below.

Having survived the ordeal, the newsbird, still shaken, had no time to think about anything else. After letting out a miserable cry, it flapped its wings frantically, desperately trying to get away from this dangerous place.

Watching the newsbird flee in a disheveled state but unharmed, Kiro reached out and caught the fallen newspaper without even glancing at it, a smile playing on his lips.

Even if his Observation Haki had reached perfection before, it would have been impossible for him to tease a news bird as if he knew the future like this.

Keep in mind that there were a full three or four seconds between when he unleashed his sword energy and when the newsbird broke through the clouds!

The fact that all of this could be done can only mean one thing—

[Unlocked Limit-Breaking Effects: Foresee the Future!]

[Description: With his peak-level Observation Haki, he can see reality happening a few seconds in advance, giving him an overwhelming ability to anticipate events in battle.]

Kilo let out a long breath, a look of realization flashing in his eyes.

As expected, he was right.

After raising his Observation Haki to its limit, he truly awakened his special ability—foresight.

While not the most mysterious ability to hear all things, the ability to foresee the future is probably the greatest help to Kilo.

As a peerless swordsman, his ability to foresee the future gives him an overwhelming advantage in most battles, and only an unavoidable head-on confrontation can make him wary.

As he conjured up a series of complex visions of the future in his mind, Kilo suddenly felt a twitch in the corner of his eye, gasped, and covered his head.

A feeling of weakness, as if his spiritual energy was depleted, forced him to stop predicting the future.

"Is this the limitation?"

After a moment, Kiro, having recovered his senses, muttered to himself, vaguely speculating, "It seems that foresight is not absolutely invincible; maintaining it will greatly consume the user's mental energy."

But thinking about it, it makes sense. If he could always foresee the future, he probably would never encounter any more difficult problems. With his current strength, he could completely avoid all obstacles with foresight.

but--

"That's enough!"

Kiro gripped the hilt of his sword, a glint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

For the strongest warriors, the course of a battle is often decided in an instant. Now that he has mastered the ability to foresee the future, his combat power has undoubtedly reached a new level!

"—Kaido and Shiki?"

Kiro's brow unfurrowed as he recalled the information Schip had revealed before his death.

He had been somewhat wary of these two before, but if they joined forces, even he would probably have to give them a wide berth.

After all, they were all former officers of the Rocks Pirates, and all were legendary pirates in the New World. If they joined forces, even the Navy would probably be completely helpless against them.

However, now that I have unlocked the ability to foresee the future, I will be more at ease facing these two people, and even if I am no match for them, I can escape in advance!

Of course, given Kilo's confidence, he didn't think he would lose!

Just as Kiro was flipping through the nautical chart and comparing it repeatedly with the logbook, preparing to sail towards Wano Country, a sound suddenly came from his backpack—

"Brubrubrubrubru!!!"

Kilo paused with his right hand, then answered the incessantly ringing Den Den Mushi.

A familiar, deep voice came from the other end.

"Hey, Kiro, it's me."

Kiro raised an eyebrow. "Dragon, what do you want?"

"Does he want to ask about Beehive Island?"

Long Wei sighed, "—Actually, I do want to ask, but let's not talk about it for now."

"What I want to talk about is something else."

"Didn't you tell me to keep an eye on Ginny's movements during her mission?"

"She's been active near Sky Island for a while, so I didn't inform you, but just today..."

"She is preparing to take a few subordinates on a mission to a kingdom in the New World."

Upon hearing this, Kiro's pupils contracted, and he glanced at the date on the newspaper.

I hadn't paid attention to the date in a long time; I didn't realize that it had become the year Ginny was arrested.

His heart sank; he feared that Ginny's arrest was imminent.

After taking a deep breath, Kiro's tone became somewhat serious, "—Which kingdom?"

"An island belonging to a member state of the World Government—" Dragon heard Kiro's serious tone and realized the gravity of the problem. "I'll have Kuma send you the specific Log Pose details later."

"However, do we need to intervene? Is the situation serious?"

Although it's unclear why Kiro was so nervous about Ginny's operation, he must have his reasons.

Upon hearing this, Kilo remained silent and pondered for a moment.

"Never mind, we'll talk about it later. First, send over the specific record pointers."

"Okay." Dragon nodded. "About Beehive Island—"

"Well done!"

After discussing the recent movements of the revolutionary army and its future direction, the two hung up the phone and went about their own business.

Unlike Kiro, who spends his days traveling, Dragon has recently been busy with all sorts of matters, big and small, concerning the Revolutionary Army.

After all, the previous rampage in Mary Geoise had brought the Revolutionary Army a lot of fame and new recruits, and the corresponding task allocation and personnel management were somewhat cumbersome and complicated, not to mention expanding its scale.

From the previous call, Kilo could even hear the undisguised fatigue in the dragon's voice.

If even someone with that kind of physique could get tired, you can imagine how much work they must be doing!

Kilo shook his head, feeling sympathy for the dragon.

Once Sabo joins the Revolutionary Army and gradually grows stronger, he might be able to share some of the workload with Dragon.

As for Kilo?

He just wanted to enjoy the battle; even glancing at those complicated documents made him dizzy.

After waiting a moment, Kilo looked up sharply and noticed an object wrapped in a layer of pale red bubbles flying towards him at an astonishing speed in the sky not far away.

He reached out and caught it, only to see, beneath the pale red bubble, a small and exquisite pointer, pointing straight in a distant direction.

Kiro couldn't help but sigh, "The Paw-Paw Fruit ability is really useful."

"but----"

"Should we bring Big Bear over then?"
