From Demon Slayer: Thunder Swordsman

The author feels that the reason why there is such a big gap between them is probably mainly because of their domineering nature. There is a difference in their understanding of swordsmanship, but they should both be at a higher level.

Chapter 29: The Realm of Overlord Color

The long and heavy Thunder Dragon was easily cut into pieces by Jiu Tiao Ju, and the long sword was swung directly at Stevenson!

In Tachibana's mind, Infinite was madly simulating the various battles between the two...

Frowning, Kujo Tachibana felt a little bored. He was initially interested in this guy entirely because of the Conqueror's Haki, but through infinite anticipation, he had already seen it.

This guy's domineering aura is still at a very early stage!

And his strength is also relatively average. Kujo Tachibana feels that even the weakest domineering Haki possessor who has ever appeared in the comics, "Cone" Pepper, is not as strong as him.

Stevenson's domineering aura, Jiujoju feels that it has only one function, which is to clear out the small fish within a certain range. And it will only be effective on real small fish, and it will not work on slightly stronger ones.

In Infinity, after Stevenson's domineering color was released, it did not cause any sense of oppression to his spirit. Kujo Tachibana guessed that this might be because his spirit or soul was naturally strong!

But no matter what, there must be a little fluctuation...

Stevenson didn't do this.

-

Conqueror's Haki, this is the "Haki" of the chosen one that only one person among millions of people possesses, that is, the "qualification of a king" that stands above others.

Unlike the previous two, "Armament Haki" and "Observation Haki", even though "Conqueror Haki" can be controlled freely, it cannot be strengthened through training. It can only be strengthened through the user's own growth.

Based on the description in the "previous life" comics and the performance of several Conqueror's Haki possessors he has come into contact with in the current One Piece world, Kujo Tachibana has divided the control of Conqueror's Haki into five stages.

The initial level, unconscious release, specifically uncontrollable!

This is the period when the Conqueror's Haki has just awakened, but it is worth noting that some people's spirit is indeed destined to be strong by God.

Even the newly awakened Domineering Haki is enough to challenge those veteran Domineering Haki masters, such as the future protagonist King Luffy.

After awakening the Conqueror's Haki, after further familiarity and training, you can enter the fourth stage, and be able to freely control the release and shutdown of the Conqueror's Haki. Representative figures include "Cone" Pepper and Doflamingo.

The further third stage is to control the Conqueror's Haki more finely. At this stage, the Conqueror's Haki is enough to be released at a fixed point, and in the same area, it is possible to distinguish between the enemy and our own and attack in sections.

And what about the second stage above this!

At this stage, the strong ones can already integrate their own domineering aura into their attacks to increase the damage, and can even cause damage without touching the enemy. This stage can also be called Domineering Aura Entanglement!

Above the entanglement of domineering color, Kujo Tachibana feels that there is a higher stage, although no specific explanation is given in the comics of the previous life.

But Kujo Tachibana feels that Shanks, one of the future Four Emperors, has reached this level.

Shanks has no fruit ability and once lost an arm because of a weak sea king in the East China Sea. In order to protect Luffy, the "King of the Near Sea", he was so outrageous that he broke one of his arms!

In the early stage of the comics, Kujo Tachibana once thought that this guy was just used to make up the numbers, otherwise why would Oda give him to Shanks to strengthen the strength of the crew members?

Isn't it just to form an emperor-level pirate group for him?

Beckman, the ship's deputy who is said to be as powerful as the Four Emperors?

And a group of elite pirate crew members, Jesus Bu, Lucky Lu, Hongo-Bendik-Snake, Benke-Punch, Mengshida, Lime Jones, Roar-Gabu...

In the Red Hair Pirates, the overall strength of these cadres, especially Beckman, is obviously much higher than that of the other three emperor-level ship officers.

Although Beckman hasn't taken much action yet, he gives people a feeling that he is stronger than Marco from Whitebeard's team, King Kong from Kaido's group, and Katakuri under Big Mom!

When it comes to a group fight, the Red Hair Pirates are truly invincible among the Four Emperors!

It was not until the later part of the comics, after seeing the true strength of Red-Haired Shanks, the great swordsman, that Kujo Tachibana, who was a fan of One Piece at the time, had to exclaim "Sikuniichi!".

Whitebeard died in the battle at the top, and Big Mom and Kaido were defeated one after another!

There is only one left of the old generation of Four Emperors, only him!

That man, Red-haired Shanks!

Not only does he always firmly maintain the majesty of the emperor, but he also bursts out with increasingly powerful fighting power in battle after battle!

His Conqueror's Haki is so strong that it can affect real matter with just Conqueror's Haki!

He was also the number one person with the domineering Haki in the hearts of many One Piece fans at that time.

-

Kujo Tachibana shook his head, dispelled the distracting thoughts in his mind, ignored Stevenson's "breeze-like" domineering attack, and turned into a ray of lightning, stepping on the sea as if it were solid ground, and instantly came to Stevenson's side.

The black long sword Lei Long swung his hand and slashed down!

Emison Stevenson, bounty of $380 million, dead!

“Big Pear” Ma-Ma Fruit, Mythical Beast, Unicorn Form, obtained.

...

"Tina, come down!"

After the battle, Kujo Tachibana shouted loudly towards the sky.

There are probably nearly a hundred pirate minions here. If Tina wasn't here, it would be hard to catch them. They would probably have to be killed. The ones who should be most grateful for Tina's arrival should be these pirate minions.

After Tina in the sky stepped on the moon steps and carefully came to the sea surface, the two of them worked for a while and then used the ability of Tina's Kankan Fruit to tie all the pirates to the largest piece of ship wreckage.

Just when he was about to ask Tina to call to report the news, Jiujo Ju sensed that a navy ship was heading towards them rapidly, and Jiujo Ju's expression became strange.

...

Without letting the two wait any longer, the headquarters lieutenant general, who was also the highest commander of the G7 branch, set the mountain on fire!

At this moment, he was standing on the deck of his own warship, quietly watching his two colleagues on the sea...

Knowing that he was in the wrong, Jiujo Tachibana took the initiative to break the deadlock and greeted:

"Hello, Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan!"

Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan nodded, with no expression on his face, and asked in confusion:

"Hello too, Vice Admiral Canglong. I wonder if you suddenly came to the sea area under the jurisdiction of my G7 branch. Did you receive any orders from the headquarters?"

Scratching his head, Jiujo Tachibana could only explain:

"I'm sorry! Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan, I didn't receive any transfer orders from the headquarters. I came here on my own initiative."

"This group of pirates robbed a small country in the waters of our G2 branch. I chased them for several days before I finally found them."

Hearing this, Huoshaoshan, who was holding a cigar, relaxed his expression.

Although Huoshaoshan is a veteran lieutenant general and one of the five lieutenant generals who participated in the O'Hara and Demon Killing Order incidents, Huoshaoshan is actually a dovish naval general with a very gentle personality.

Born in the Grand Route, a volcanic stone in a small country, he also understands the difficult situation of these small countries.

But at this time, Kujo Tachibana was able to violate the navy's regulations and cross his own jurisdiction to hunt down pirates for the sake of an illegal regime that was not recognized by the World Government. How could Huoshaoshan make things difficult for Tachibana?

And this incident itself is not a big deal.

Although Huoshaoshan and the newly promoted lieutenant general Kujo Tachibana were not familiar with each other before, Huoshaoshan couldn't help but feel that they were fellow travelers towards Kujo Tachibana at this moment.

"Lieutenant General Canglong and your adjutant, please come up and talk first!" Huoshaoshan, whose expression had relaxed, looked at the two people on the sea and made an invitation.

Kujo Tachibana smiled when he heard that. It seems that this Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan is indeed as gentle as he is in the comics.

After Kujo Tachibana and Tina arrived at the warship on the burning mountain.

Huoshaoshan then waved his hand, signaling his naval soldiers to capture the pirates on the sea one by one and lock them up in the cells inside the warship.

...

After handing a high-end cigar to Jiujo Tachibana, Huoshaoshan began to explain:

"Vice Admiral Canglong, I will help you capture these pirates first, and then I will send you to the edge of the G7 branch. Just have someone wait there, and don't let your men come over."

Jiujo Tachibana took the cigar and nodded: "Thank you for your help, General Huoshaoshan, but I don't smoke this."

Seeing that Jiujo Tachibana didn't seem to have smoked a cigar before, Huoshaoshan couldn't help but tell him about the various ways to smoke a cigar...

Seeing that Huoshaoshan was so enthusiastic, Kujo Tachibana had no choice but to give it a try.

Well, how do you describe the taste?

Jiujo Ju, who used to smoke cigarettes on Blue Star, is not very accustomed to cigars. He is still used to the feeling of smoking passing through the lungs, but he has not yet become addicted to smoking in this world.

Seeing that Jiujo Tachibana finished smoking a cigar in such a clumsy manner, Tina beside him rolled her eyes, took out a pack of ladies' cigarettes from her pocket, took out one elegantly, put it to her lips, and then lit it...

With her flaming red lips, she took a deep breath from the cigarette filter, and the smoke went into her lungs along the trachea. After a while, the smoke in her lungs slowly exhaled in rhythm with her breathing...

Although it is not recommended for women to smoke, Tina at this moment is truly beautiful in Kujo Tachibana's eyes!

In the world of pirates, smoking is not something immoral, and there is no such thing as second-hand smoke. Moreover, in the navy, a large group of people smoke cigarettes or cigars, so Kujo Tachibana is not disgusted.

Tina glanced at Jiujo Ju with her beautiful eyes and looked at him smugly, as if to say: Have you learned it?

Jiujo Ju just smiled, reached out and took the cigarette from Tina's hand, took out one, and put it to his lips.

He gently held Tina's hand holding the cigarette, and brought the lit cigarette to his lips. Only after he lit the cigarette in his own mouth did Jiujo Tachibana slowly let go of her hand.

Taking a deep breath, the cigarette in Jiu Tiaoju's mouth began to burn backwards at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It only took two or three seconds for Jiujo Ju to reach out and flick the cigarette, which had only a butt left, into the sea, and gently exhaled a long puff of smoke.

Like a proud young man, Jiujo Tachibana tilted his head and looked at the stunned girl Tina...

This is his current lung capacity. He can easily finish a whole lady's cigarette in one breath.

The two's childish behavior left Huoshaoshan speechless, and he even began to feel sorry for his high-end cigar.

It would be such a waste to give such a good cigar to Vice Admiral Canglong to smoke. It's like a cow chewing a peony!

Huoshaoshan secretly thought in his heart...

-

Half a day later, when they were approaching the sea where the G7 branch and the G2 branch met, Kujo Tachibana's observation Haki sensed a very strange small island.

Why is this island strange?

The shape of this island looks like human teeth!

One on the left and one on the right, opposing each other.

When the warship approached to within about ten kilometers and could see the outline of one side of the island, Kujo Tachibana expressed his doubts to Vice Admiral Shaoshaoshan.

"Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan, does the shape of this island in front of us look like a human tooth?"

Huoshaoshan thought for a moment, recalled the shape of the island on the map in the Navy Branch, then nodded and said:

"Gaya Island seems to be exactly what you said, with two rows of teeth that look like humans."

"But your observation Haki is really strong! You can sense the entire picture of this island from such a distance!"

Huoshaoshan seemed a little surprised.

Kujo Tachibana smiled politely.

What is this!

It's because your perception is too weak.

But at this moment, the familiar word Gaya Island flashed through Kujo Tachibana's mind!

Gaya Island?

That is Gaya Island with Sky Island above it!!

Recalling the memories in my mind, the shape of Gaya Island is indeed like this, and there is also a small town called Mogu on the island at this time.

On the other side of Mogu Town lives Mont Blanc-Kulik, the descendant of Mont Blanc-Norlandu, who has been bearing the infamy for hundreds of years!

If I remember correctly, the island above Gaya seems to be the sky island ruled by the god Ganfor?

Jiujo Tachibana looked up at the sky, and his observation Haki quickly condensed, piercing into the sky...

-

Let’s talk about the color of seeing and hearing here.

The protagonist's perception of observation Haki is usually very far, but it does not mean that his perception height is also tens of kilometers... It is like a plane, and he wants to hear the voice of someone in the distance, or see the appearance of someone.

You also need to concentrate to perceive, and there is an infinite simulation range. You can only simulate when it is not far away from you.

If the distance is too far, it will be impossible to predict and simulate through infinity due to insufficient information perception.

Chapter 30 "Sky Island" Bikka

Tachibana's observation Haki penetrated the white clouds in the sky and reached an altitude of about ten thousand meters in an extremely short time.
