One Piece: True Several Thousand Hands, rampaging across Marineford!

Kahn unleashed a devastating, indiscriminate sword strike that engulfed the surviving retainers of the Oden clan, forcing Rayleigh to confront the attack head-on in order to block it.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

Everyone's eyes were deathly pale.

Kahn and Rayleigh closed their eyes; they didn't need to rely on their eyes to fight, as Observation Haki was more reliable than eyes in this level of combat.

"what's the situation?"

"Am I blind?!"

"..."

Oden's retainers were completely confused about the situation.

It wasn't until they could open their eyes that they saw Rayleigh standing in front of them, and the blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

The surviving retainers of Oden immediately made their own guesses.

I was secretly grateful.

They could only rely on this great pirate.

"what!!!"

"Denjiro is dead!"

"what?!"

"Where is Lord Oden?"

"..."

The whole process happened in the blink of an eye. The surviving Oden retainers were completely bewildered. They had lost another comrade. Looking at the scene of Denjiro's tragic death, most of the foolish Oden retainers believed that it must have been Cain who did it.

The observant Kikunojo noticed the unusual bloodstains on Rayleigh's leg.

that……

It wasn't just bloodstains.

And... a yellowish-white, turbid liquid.

Kahn and Ridley.

Face to face.

Neither of them attacked the other.

"Everything can be a sword..."

Kahn slowly sheathed his sword, his eyes taking in a view completely different from the others. He had mastered the entire Flower Realm, and a domain composed of life elements surrounded everyone.

Rayleigh sensed that something was wrong.

"Your death is imminent."

Kahn said calmly, "Sword, come."

The surrounding life elements changed their form. Rayleigh was the first to notice, followed by Gaia, Ashura Doji... Their intuition told them that there would be serious consequences if they didn't escape.

Kahn disappeared in the Flower Capital, along with Gaia, Ashura Doji, and Kikunojo.

Rayleigh, frozen in place, sensed immense danger.

Look up at the sky.

All he could see were millions of swords locked in his Observation Haki, pointed directly at him.

Moreover, the countless swords share the same aura and are interconnected. What appear to be millions of swords are actually a single sword.

Do not!

This isn't a sword at all; it's a sword made of living elements… Rayleigh suddenly thought of his own sword. Swords have life; great swordsmen can hear the breath of their swords, so this is what a sword is.

Thousands upon thousands of swords!

The entire Flower Capital has been transformed into an extremely dangerous place.

"Kahn!"

Rayleigh, fighting against what could be an instantaneous life force or perhaps a swordsmanship domain, roared, "You're playing me!"

Outside the City of Flowers.

Kahn and the others gazed at the scene within the Flower Capital. Gaia and Ashura Doji activated their Observation Haki and witnessed the most awe-inspiring scene of their lives.

One person was thinking, "So this is what it means that everything can be a sword."

Another thought was, "So this is what it means for everything to become a sword... that someone has actually used the sword techniques described in books?!"

Ashura Child's head went blank.

Subsequently, he suffered a blow from Gaia's justice and was knocked unconscious on the spot by a full-force sneak attack.

Before falling into a coma, his eyes showed extreme resentment.

"Just take a look."

Gaia sheathed her sword, her eyes fixed on the scene in the Flower Capital. "Anyway, you can't learn how to turn anything into a sword. This move is a technique exclusive to Lord Kahn. We can't use it."

This move.

Only those with the ability to transform all things into life elements are qualified to turn everything into a sword.

Kahn heard Rayleigh's roar.

Don't care.

He can appear anywhere within the domain.

In the air, underground...

To be precise, they did indeed trick Rayleigh.

The battle was merely to control the life element of the Flower Capital, essentially cracking the code of this place, which would take some time. Killing Oden's retainers in a troublesome way was to mislead Rayleigh and lower his guard.

To use one's intentions to scheme against the unintentional.

Rayleigh will survive.

The outcome won't be good either.

Kahn is a very methodical person, and of course he wouldn't do too many useless things.

Everything can be a sword...

He still remembered the answer he received when he asked the old man that question: "Bullshit! That's just nonsense from books! Everything can be a sword? Fine! You take the water, I'll take the sword, and I'll beat you senseless!"

"..."

That day.

I got a really bad beating.

The scenes from the past intertwine with the scenes of the present.

"Old man."

Kahn smiled and said, "I did it."

Chapter 218 Wano Country: Sending them to see Jabba (Two-part summary)

"The sword falls."

Kahn had barely finished speaking.

The unique life force of humanity in the Flower Capital was almost completely wiped out, like stars that were shining brightly in the night, suddenly extinguished, leaving only a single, no longer dazzling light.

At this moment, in the City of Flowers, only one person remains alive.

This once bustling capital of Wano Country has become indistinguishable from the slums and slave ghettos outside. The only difference is that in other places where people are so poor they can barely survive, there are still people striving to live.

This closed-off country has a strict hierarchy and is not much different from the outside world.

Slaves, lower classes, commoners... social hierarchy based on bloodline.

"Rayleigh."

Kahn said indifferently, "If you really die so easily, that would be truly disappointing. It would be a great disappointment for a top-tier expert to die from a single blow, even if that blow was one I meticulously planned for you."

Everything can be a sword...

He was able to create this move thanks to this world.

This world has its own unique power and unique things.

Swordsmanship, Haki, Devil Fruit abilities.

For example, in swordsmanship, if you want to reach a higher level and break through to a stronger level, the first step is to feel the breath of all things and reach the realm of a master swordsman who can cut through iron.

The breath felt when cutting iron proves that all things have life.

And in the realm of perception and hearing, one can hear the sounds of all things.

This also proves the point.

The fruit that Kahn ate was one that could gather life and possessed special fruit abilities. He was skilled with a sword and, thinking of those sword theories that had been impossible to realize before, he decided to try to find a way out.

Relying on the unique power and things of this world.

He forged his own path.

As it turns out, he succeeded.

They forged their own path.

The direction of developing the fruit is correct.

"king."

Gaia pointed to Ashura Child lying on the ground and asked, "Can this person be kept alive?"

"This one……"

Kahn looked at Kikunojo, "It depends on this child."
