One Piece: World Traveler

Chapter 6 - Sword Path



Gion Vice Admiral Private Courtyard - Training Room

Inside a training dojo-like room that its flooring was wooden solid while its walls was built by a strong metal only a little inferior to sea stones, equipped with all kind of dummies and measurement power machines, stood a boy with a wooden sword.

He kept waving his sword up and down while keeping his stance firm, he seems to be focused, but he wasn\'t actually.

His eyes never left the bar that kept changing the more he waved.

0.4119% - 0.412001% ...

There was a 6 number behind the zero that kept changing the more he tire himself.

Through his training he discovered one way to accelerate the Orb Analysis.

First, through watching strong people making a move, the Orb could register the \'action\' and \'copy\' it augmenting the percentage of the process.

Second, through training and breaking the limits of his body, The Orb data bar will increase. If he wasn\'t wrong, a month ago, he was merely 0%, but through his devilish training with his master, he was able to elevate the process percentage.

Aizen stopped waving his sword as his eyes trailed towards the machine of Doriki measurement. He approached due to some of his doubts.

After being trashed by his \'friends\' this morning, he felt as if his power was strengthened.

Clenching his hand on the sword handle, he exuded a sword Qi aura and coated his sword with it, exerting all his power through the wooden sword, he attacked the testing machine.

Boom, Crack.

Surprisedly, the wooden sword crumbled under the sheer force of his uncontrolled sword aura along with his unaccustomed fleshly body.

267

That was already a level of power that could allow him to be ȧssigned into the Elite Camp.

Aizen started to thought of the reason behind his power up, and other than being injured and healed almost depleting his ample stamina. he couldn\'t think of any other thing.

Zenkai? Masochist?

But there is one thing he understood, his body that was built by a godly cheat like the golden orb, capable of bypassing a world law wasn\'t to be belittled. The more his body was pushed to the limit, it will breakthrough it, it was as if he has no bottleneck like his peers, thus, the name of this power was called by Aizen - Limit Breaker. it seems more high handed than Zenkai or M!

The sounds of footsteps could be heard from behind the boy, as he turned his face he was surprised by his master surprised expression, and he couldn\'t help but turn smug.

Seeing his expression, she hurriedly composed herself, and turned in Master mode.

"Not bad, you already doubled your power since the first day of the training, I\'m relived, you won\'t be trashed again I suppose!" Said Gion while emphasizing the trashing part ruining his smug feel.

"As I informed you before, This lesson will be about the basics of combat and sword way. Only, you need to comprehend more about the system power as it\'s highly probable that you will met devil fruit users in the future, maybe there are ones in the camp too.

Logia devil fruit users, they are the most annoying and troubling opponent to deal with as they could manipulate elements or nature force to their bidding, except what make them fearsome are the ability to turn to the said element. they are untouchable if you aren\'t a Haki user or a Sword Master. The three current Admirals are one of those.

Paramecia devil fruit users can affect their body, manipulate the environment, or produce substances, but don\'t be mistaken to think that it\'s weaker than the Logia type, the strongest man in the world W.B is one of those users.

And lastly, the Zoan devil fruit users, They acquire the ability to transform into another species or an inter-species hybrid forms at will. The fleet Admiral Sengoku is such an example."

Aizen faked his surprise and excitement, but he didn\'t miss an important part in her speech.

"Sword Masters?" Asked Aizen which brought a big smile on Gion face.

"Yes, Sword Masters are people that could use their sword intent to bypass the devil fruit queer abilities, and harm the adversary without the use of armament Haki, which is also a power that could bypass a devil fruit unbreakable defense. Only, a Sword Master would still learn Armament Haki to protect and fortify his sword."

Aizen was a little surprised, from what he remembered even though Zoro was able to cut Daz Bonez, but that was steel cutting.

Dracule Mihawk wasn\'t able to scratch Diamond Jozu in the war at all. Did he got something wrong?

Seeing her disciple confusion, she continued.

"Let me explain the sword stages for you:

First - Sword novice, and that is someone that only wave his sword like a bat.

Second - Sword Qi/Aura, the sword user is enlightened in the sword way, and it\'s the first step.

Third - One with the sword, only a sword user that can use his sword just like any part of his body can be called a Sword Master, in this stage, the sword user can even generate cutting air attacks and use his sword as a range weapon.

This stage is divided into four big chasms - Beginner / Intermediate / Top / Master

I\'m currently at the Top stage, while the the number one sword user that came into existence some years ago Dracule Mihawk is at the Master stage.

Fourth - and it\'s called the sword heart, it\'s a fabled level that no one really knew if it was legend or truth." Finished Gion, but unconsciously her face was full of pride.

"But Master, why is it only Sword? why other weapons aren\'t included?"Asked Aizen, he was really curious, that was something new he didn\'t heard about in the canon.

"Lost, I heard there were a lot of martial arts and weapon arts that got lost in the past, no one knew why or when, but currently only the sword legacy that still exists. A weapon master could only be enlightened in the aura or Qi, but to take the step of one with the weapon, he would need a martial art to take that step and even if he succeed, he would need a lot of time to do so, so no one bother. Anyway, you are going to learn the sword, don\'t ask about other weapons!" Said Gion strictly as she felt that her disciple wasn\'t passionate enough towards the sword.

"As you command Master!" Shouted the boy.

"Good, let\'s start our training session!"Said Gion with a satisfied expression, as she suddenly took out her sword, that Aizen recalled its name as Konpira.

Attracting Aizen attention, Gion entire bearing transformed, and Aizen could swear that he felt like he was admiring a sheathed sword.

Gion sword moved and the world seems to move along with it, the feeling of the reservation that she gave away a moment ago turned fierce, and the sheathed sword turned to a sharp one.

An air current with a bluish aura invaded the atmosphere as it move in an arc like path, impacting the measurement Doriki machine.

5700

Seeing the number that seems not her all power, Aizen was amazed, he still remembered that Rob Lucci power was at the 4000 threshold and he was already at the marine Vice Admiral Level, No wonder it was mentioned that if not for Fujitora and Green Bull, the next Admirals would have been her and Tokikake.

Other than this, The bar in front of his eyes seems to increase magically from 0.4% to 0.7%, along with a great amount of understanding towards the sword path. He could even feel that his body grow more stronger.

It seems the more the percentage increase in numbers, the more he could grow stronger while ignoring the limits of the world laws.

Aizen Passed the next two months under the tutor of his master having an intensive training, but as no one provoked him, he felt in a bottleneck, so he could only torture his body and push it to the limits.

by the end of the two months, Aizen finally turned 11, and soon the Assessment Promotion to the Elite Training Camp is about to begin.
