Starting with the Uchiha clan, they began cultivating demonic arts.

Chapter 215 The Sudden Flying Slash

"I don't care what my dream is. I just feel that the ocean is so big, I want to go and see it, and maybe do some chivalry and rob the rich to help the poor."

"Besides that... I also want to fight against various masters from the Grand Line to hone my skills."

It's impossible for Uchiha Tou to tell Nami that he actually just wanted to go to sea to cause trouble, kill people, and train. Nami's moral bottom line is just slightly lower, not nonexistent. In fact, this slight lowering is only compared to modern people. If it were the Great Pirate Era, Nami, even if she couldn't be called a saint, would definitely be considered a good person.

However, just like money, power, and women can be replaced by career, dreams, and love, Uchiha Fei also used this kind of thing very skillfully.

Killing people to practice martial arts can be seen as honing one's strength, and stirring up trouble can be seen as upholding justice. As for robbing the rich to help the poor, that doesn't mean much to Uchiha Touyu, but it's enough to make Nami's eyes light up.

Here's a joke: Why does Nami, this little thief, like to steal things?

Because Nami would have a hard time defeating a pirate crew by herself, it's not a good idea to just forcibly take their things...

If they could win the fight, Nami wouldn't even need Uchiha Tou to lift a finger; she would have already gone to rob the rich and give to the poor!

Anyway, it's generally accepted that pirates have no human rights. Whether Nami stole or robbed, those pirates can't possibly go to the Navy base to report it, right?

"Alright... Anyway, I'm going to become the best navigator in the future, so I'll have to go to the Grand Line eventually. It's not a problem for me to go with you, Feiyu!"

"But you'd better be careful. Although you're quite strong, there are just too many monsters in this ocean. Don't mess with any monsters you can't handle, or I won't be going to die for you."

Ever since witnessing the heroic figure of a certain naval hero who could unleash a one-punch man, Nami had gained some understanding of the world's top-tier strength. She certainly didn't want her captain to act rashly and fight against a monster that was completely invincible.

"Don't worry, I definitely won't be fighting those monsters anytime soon. I'm not tired of living yet!"

Uchiha Touyu seemed to agree easily, but a hint of greed flashed in his eyes.

The higher the level of the ninja, the greater the allure for Uchiha Touyu. Whether it's their incredibly vast blood and energy, their almost tangible souls, or the fortune and potential they occupy in this pirate world, they are all absolute treasures.

To put it bluntly, if Uchiha Touyu could have taken advantage of Whitebeard like Blackbeard did, he could have directly obtained power that would be considered top-tier in the entire One Piece world!

Blackbeard could only obtain Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit, while Uchiha Tou could obtain all of Whitebeard's power except for the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!

Whether it's his inherent strength, his original potential, or his own luck, all of these are enough to support Uchiha Touyu to rise to the top in one step and transform into a younger version of the strongest man at his peak.

Furthermore, combined with the knowledge from the Book of Demonic Path inheritance that Uchiha Hiyu possessed, he was able to unleash even greater power than Whitebeard when he was young and possessed the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

Therefore, when Uchiha Tou is strong enough, he will definitely clash with these strongest fighters on the sea, but it certainly won't happen now.

Nami could also understand what Uchiha Tou meant, and her little face immediately fell:

"I really don't understand you men... why do you have to compete with those monsters?"

"Alright... that'll be at least two years from now. We haven't even gone to the Grand Line yet, who knows what the outcome will be?"

"If I'm not confident, I won't go looking for trouble with those monsters. Unless I've trained to a level similar to Garp's, I won't provoke those great pirates."

"I hope so..."

Hearing this, Nami breathed a sigh of relief. Recalling Uchiha Tou's behavior, she realized that he seemed to be the kind of cunning and treacherous person who was not the kind of naive pirate.

Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved.

……

The small sailboat drifted on the sea. Although the boat was small, it moved steadily and quickly on the sea, as if walking on flat ground.

On the deck of the small boat, Nami, having adjusted the direction of the sails, wiped the sweat from her forehead and turned to look at Uchiha Tou, who was training.

"Is it just my imagination? Why does this guy's skin give me a scaly feeling?"

In fact, Nami was not mistaken. Uchiha Tou's body did indeed undergo some subtle changes, and the source of these changes was his own domineering aura.

Before mastering Haki, Uchiha Tou could only use the most basic techniques from the Blood Nerves to quickly learn the Six Powers of the Navy and Life Return by changing his blood flow and controlling his muscle tissue, and even optimize them to some extent.

However, after cultivating Haki, Uchiha Touyu finally possessed the so-called energy attribute within his body.

Although the difference between Haki and Blood Nerve is huge, they are ultimately both forms of energy. By possessing this commonality, Uchiha Touyu can slightly alter the nature of Haki and modify his physical body.

After mastering the Blood Nerve, one can cultivate into the Blood God Child form. However, this does not mean that the Blood God Child is the only killing move. In fact, the Blood God Child is ever-changing and has many different forms.

It could even be said that for every life the Blood God Child absorbs, he can absorb the form of that life, which is quite similar to the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts in some respects.

Of course, Uchiha Touyu couldn't cultivate the Blood God Child in this world, so he cultivated the most basic Asura Transformation in the Blood Nerve, which is to transform into the most basic Blood Sea Asura. Of course, he definitely couldn't do this with just Haki, but by absorbing some of its advantages and evolving his body structure to resemble the Blood Sea Asura, he could still do it.

Asuras appear in many different worlds, some with various origins, while the Asura in the Blood Nerve naturally originates from the endless sea of ​​blood in the primordial world.

Compared to ordinary humans, Asuras are eager for battle and possess extremely high fighting spirit and strong physical qualities. In a high-level world like the Primordial World, even the lowest-ranking Asura is a being who has stepped onto the path of immortality.

Although Uchiha Touyu referenced Ashura's physical structure, he was clearly no match for the real Ashura.

Even if he only obtained a tiny bit of Asura's physical body, it was enough to greatly enhance his physical strength. He couldn't compare to those freaks with immortal bodies like steel balloons, but without using Haki, he could easily defend against ordinary sword and blade strikes.

"Phew~~"

Letting out a long breath, Uchiha Tou wiped the sweat from his brow after finishing his training and turned to look at Nami:

"Hey, Miss Navigator, when will we arrive in Loguetown?"

"It will probably take another three days! But we still need to find supplies along the way. Our boat is too small and there isn't much room to store fresh water and food. The orange seedlings I brought from Cocoyasi Village are starting to wilt."

"I'll leave the navigation to you; I can't understand those nautical charts anyway."

Uchiha Touyu waved his hand and spoke directly. Nami frowned slightly and sat down beside him:

"Captain, once we get a bigger ship, we can't just be the two of us sailing it!"

"In addition, the ship is currently short of a number of essential personnel, such as cooks and doctors, which are required on almost every ship."

"It's alright in a small place like the East China Sea, but going to the Grand Line is much more difficult. Not to mention that the marine environment there is much harsher and small boats would have a hard time handling it, it's also a long-distance voyage. The distance between islands can take at least ten days or half a month. The two of us alone can't manage it."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Touyu was also somewhat troubled.

In the world of One Piece, there are certainly amazing people who can sail the ocean alone in a small boat, but basically these people are either already at the top of the world or have a unique skill of their own.

For example, Hawkeye Mihawk, the world's greatest swordsman, is the undisputed number one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. He possesses personal strength comparable to the Four Emperors and the Three Admirals, so naturally he can drift freely in a small boat by himself.

Then there's Fire Fist Ace and Blackbeard, who also traveled alone during the chase. However, both of them were already among the top of the second tier in terms of strength. Moreover, Blackbeard had a unique physique, and Ace's single-person boat could be propelled at high speed by the Flame-Flame Fruit, which enabled him to achieve the feat of sailing the ocean alone.

Uchiha Touyu doesn't meet either of these conditions. Moreover, even people like Hawkeye, Ace, and Blackbeard travel the ocean alone. If they were to drag along a burden who is no different from an ordinary person, they certainly wouldn't be able to enjoy themselves.

Uchiha Touyu remembered that Nami fell ill as soon as they entered the Grand Line. Although Nami now possesses the Smooth-Smooth Fruit and may not be bitten by poisonous insects anymore, regardless of the circumstances, with Nami's strength, without sufficient medical and rest conditions, going to the Grand Line would likely be extremely dangerous.

"Tsk, finding a cook first, then a doctor, what a hassle... Where am I even going to look for people?"

Just as Uchiha Touyu sighed, a sharp flying slash suddenly came from the horizon where the sea met the sky, heading straight for their small boat.

"careful!!"

Nami, who was observing the sea conditions, immediately spotted the flying slash approaching from afar. Lacking experience, she didn't recognize it as a flying slash.

However, seeing the sky-shattering, sea-cracking power of the flying slash, Nami knew what the consequences would be if her ship collided with it, and immediately shouted a warning to Uchiha Touyu.

Uchiha Touyu also saw the flying slash coming from the sea and sky. Almost without hesitation, he wrapped his powerful Haki around the long sword in his hand, and then with a flash of light, he also unleashed a flying slash.

Compared to the overwhelmingly powerful flying slash from the other side, Uchiha Touyu's flying slash was significantly weaker. The two blades collided, creating a massive wave. Moments later, Uchiha Touyu's flying slash was completely shattered, but the remaining flying slash was also greatly weakened, deviating from its course and flying away into the distance, grazing the small boat.

"What...what is that?"

Watching the flying slash disappear into the distance, Nami, still somewhat shaken, asked Uchiha Touyu a question.

Uchiha Tou shrugged, brandished his long sword, and said calmly:

"Didn't you see? That was a flying slash!"

"Flying... Flying Slash!? That's huge! It looks like it could... it could... it could slice an island in half!"

"Don't be so surprised. You've seen Garp's punches before. Compared to the power of that old man's punches, this flying slash isn't anything special!"

Uchiha Touyu said with a smile, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

The flying slash that just now was already at its last gasp when it arrived here; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to be blocked for a period of time by Uchiha Tou's flying slash.

To be able to easily annihilate a flying slash unleashed at the last moment of strength, a great swordsman with such power, and given that this is the East Blue, Uchiha Touyu immediately thought of a name.

Was the person who made the move Hawkeye Mihawk?

"Let's go, Nami! Let's turn around and see what's going on!"

Uchiha Touyu spoke, but received no response for a long time. Turning his head, he saw Nami with a terrified expression, her eyes brimming with tears.

"What...what's wrong with you? Facing a monster capable of such a flying slash, you want to go over and take a look? Do you want to challenge it?"

"It doesn't matter if you die, but don't drag me down with you!!"

"Who said I was going to take on the challenge?"

Uchiha Touyu rolled his eyes, his face full of helplessness:

"I just wanted to check things out. Since they used a flying slash, they must be in the middle of a battle. This is a golden opportunity to observe!"

"It's a deal then, you can't get carried away and fight this mysterious swordsman!"

Do I look like someone who gets carried away with their emotions?

"That's not necessarily true. The training you did with Garp a while ago felt like you were risking your life..."

"Tsk... Old man Garp really didn't know his own strength... Didn't I not realize it at first?"

Uchiha Touyu muttered to himself. Back when he was training with Garp, he had almost been killed several times. At the time, he really thought that Garp's training was extreme. Later, after hearing some discussions among the Navy, he realized that Garp really didn't know his own strength.

Garp did indeed train many geniuses, but in reality... the number of Marines who died, were crippled, or were rendered useless after being trained by him was actually quite large. So much so that the ability to withstand Garp's training had become a standard for classifying geniuses within the Marines.
