One Piece: Starting with Breathing Techniques

The following morning, on July 6th, 1500 of the Haiyuan calendar.

The 72nd Naval Branch of the West Sea.

Qige was restless and somewhat irritable.

He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and looked anxiously at Brigadier General Kuka, who was sitting with his legs crossed. "Are you sure you've found reliable support?"

Through the window, he saw that the naval soldiers downstairs were already on high alert, wary of any possible attack.

But if Kilo really attacks, this number of troops will probably be of no use at all.

In a world where one possesses immense power, no amount of minions can threaten a true strongman.

Kuka exhaled a puff of smoke, a hint of impatience in his eyes. "How many times have I told you? That person is already on their way."

Before he could finish speaking, the Den Den Mushi on the table suddenly rang with a "blur blur".

Seeing this, Kuka quickly took the Den Den Mushi, listened to the voice coming from the other end, and a smile appeared on his face.

After responding a few times, Kuka hung up the Den Den Mushi and looked at Chigo.

"What I said came true! That person has arrived! Let's go and greet them!"

Qige quickly followed, her face showing anticipation.

He was curious about what kind of expert could make Kuka feel at ease.

The two walked out of the office, and the naval soldiers along the way saluted them. They made their way smoothly and soon arrived at the naval branch's dock.

Squinting into the distance, a huge white warship was slowly approaching, with the word "Justice" printed on its massive sails.

Before the warship could dock, a burly figure leaped off the ship and landed gracefully in front of the two.

The burly figure had a fierce face and an extremely intimidating appearance. He had a head of disheveled hair and carried eight large swords on his back.

He looked down at the two people who were staring in shock. "You're the ones I'm supposed to be supporting?"

Brigadier General Kuka was taken aback for a moment, then quickly replied, "Yes, Lieutenant General!"

"Our naval branch may be attacked by a formidable enemy today or tomorrow!"

"We hope you will intervene and eliminate that arrogant intruder!"

Qi Ge was somewhat stunned.

He looked at the burly man's fierce face, and as if remembering something, an image from his memory gradually resurfaced.

"You...you're Vice Admiral Onigumo?!"

Coming to her senses, Qige stared wide-eyed and gaped, completely surprised that she could actually persuade such a powerful figure to come.

In the world where brigadier generals are the highest rank, a lieutenant general signifies absolute invincibility and unstoppable force.

Onigumo glanced down at Qige, said nothing, and extended his right hand. "Where's the intruder's data?"

Kuka quickly took out the Kiro intelligence he had prepared beforehand and handed it to Onigumo.

Onigumo lowered his eyelids, casually flipped through Kiro's intelligence, and let out a soft scoff.

"A brat of this caliber needs my help?"

"If it weren't for orders from above, I wouldn't be helping you with such trivial matters."

Tossing aside the intelligence report, Onigumo walked straight into the branch office with a disdainful expression.

Seeing this, Kuka and Qige looked at each other in bewilderment.

Qi Ge spoke first in a low voice, her face showing some excitement, "How did you manage to get such an important person to come?"

"If I remember correctly, Lord Onigumo is a branch lieutenant general, right?"

Kuka nodded. "That's right. But with his abilities, it's safe to say that he'll become a lieutenant general in a few years."

"Vice Admiral Onigumo is a disciple of former Marine Admiral 'Black Arm' Zephyr!"

"He's considered one of the best in the entire navy!"

"With him involved, if that Kiro dares to come, he'll definitely be dead!"

Qige and Kuka exchanged a glance, both seeing excitement in each other's eyes, and burst into laughter.

These past few days, they've all been very worried about Kiro's presence.

On the one hand, they didn't know who this suddenly appearing young swordsman was; on the other hand, this swordsman might threaten their interests.

Now, with the arrival of the Ghost Spider, the sense of threat that Kiro posed to them vanished instantly.

Could it be that a dignified Vice Admiral couldn't defeat a swordsman who hadn't even set foot on the Grand Line? What a joke!

However, Kuka and Chigo, who were having a pleasant conversation, did not notice that a tall, thin figure was silently listening to everything from the shadows behind them.

Even Onigumo, who had just disembarked, did not notice anything unusual.

The figure in the shadows listened to their conversation, then silently turned and left.

Several frosts appeared, completely erasing the traces left by the figure.

......

Wiping the sweat from his brow, Kiro used his hands to flip himself over, returning from an upside-down position to an upright one, and let out a long breath.

Kiro was quite satisfied with the boy's physique reflected in the mirror.

The white-haired boy, who appeared to be around fifteen years old, had thick, dark eyebrows and a well-defined jawline that accentuated his delicate features.

From the neck down, the streamlined, refined muscles undulate, conveying a sense of power without sacrificing speed and agility.

As Kilo moved his body, a taut sound, like a bowstring being pulled taut, emanated from his spine.

Using his right foot to gain momentum, Kiro threw a punch into the air, creating a sharp, piercing sound as the wind howled through the air.

Looking at his powerful and agile physique, Kiro nodded in satisfaction.

Who would have thought that the boy with such a muscular physique was actually only twelve years old?

She was only four years older than eight-year-old Robin.

After a brief assessment, Kiro felt that his current physical abilities had caught up with the body he possessed in the Demon Slayer world.

Keep in mind that he had only been training his body with breathing techniques for two or three days, with at most a little bit of insignificant help provided by the panel.

Hmm, just a little bit.

Surprisingly, he has already caught up with the results of his years of training in the Demon Slayer world!

However, upon noticing the white hair in the mirror, he immediately felt somewhat depressed.

Ever since he used his mark to escape from Aokiji, his hair has turned gray, a symbol of his depleted life force.

Kiro scratched his head and pondered.

If we're talking about methods in the world of One Piece to replenish depleted life force...

Suddenly, Kiro thought of a core high-level physical technique of the Navy.

Life is returned!

This is a "profound secret" that can only be comprehended after mastering the Six Styles of the Navy to its peak and further exploring one's own physical potential.

Through extremely concentrated willpower, one can freely control the body, hair, internal organs, and even every inch of muscle and fat.

As depicted in the original work, by consuming large amounts of food, Life Returns can convert energy into physical strength and recover from injuries.

Although returning a life may not necessarily make up for the overdrawn vitality, the general direction is correct!

Even if life cannot be restored using the panel, Kiro can still forcefully deduce a secret method to replenish the depleted life force!

However, the biggest problem right now is:

How did you manage to get your life returned?

As a closely guarded secret of the Navy, obtaining direct access to the life-saving mission is virtually impossible.

Let alone returning his life, Kilo has never even seen the Navy's Six Styles.

Stroking his chin, Kiro decided that if he ever had the chance, he would definitely get his hands on the Navy's Type 600 from the Navy.

After putting on his shirt, Kiro carried the Dragon Slayer on his back. After taking a moment to catch his breath, his eyes shone with confidence and sharpness.

He is already at his peak and is ready to head to Branch 72.

Although those slaves seemed to have nothing to do with Kiro, he had no reason to risk rescuing them.

However, as a demon-slaying swordsman who wields a sharp blade to save people.

Kilo could not remain indifferent.

He had a premonition that if he remained indifferent, he might lose that unwavering sword spirit forever.

Even if they encounter formidable enemies, Kilo will not give up.

However, given Kilo's current strength, it seems that there shouldn't be any enemies in the West Sea who could threaten him.

We can't let top-tier powerhouses be everywhere like the God Valley incident a few years ago, can we?

Kiro didn't think he was that unlucky.

In the naval branches across the four seas, the highest rank is only Commodore.

Moreover, after obtaining the Heavenly Thunder Movement, he was eager to test his current strength.

I wonder if a dignified naval commodore can withstand one of his blows?
