One Piece's Bizzare Adventure - Chapter 45
The gifts were nice, but what truly impressed the nine Hashira was the strength exhibited by Jon.
“Everyone, please watch!”
As he spoke, golden Ripple energy surged within his body, sparking arcs of electricity.
Even those unable to see could sense the immense vitality contained within!
With a smile, Kagaya Ubuyashiki remarked, “This is the light that illuminates the darkness.”
“Incredible!”
“Hail Buddha, such a technique is unprecedented!”
“The prowess of our Mentor is beyond doubt. I, Kyojuro Rengoku, can vouch for it with my honor.”
“Truly remarkable!”
Like seeing a giant panda at the zoo, several Hashira couldn’t contain themselves, leaving their seats to approach Jon.
Jon generously demonstrated to them while saying, “This technique is called ‘Ripple Breathing.’ By utilizing a special breathing rhythm, Ripples are generated within the body, possessing effects akin to the sun, which worked really well against evil spirits.”
The Hashira’ eyes gleamed with excitement.
Was this the foreign art they had heard of?
Truly impressive!
“Pfft, it’s probably all show and no substance,” muttered Sanemi Shinazugawa, showing his indifference amidst the crowd.
Hearing this, Jon smiled. “You can try it for yourself.”
“I’ll give it a shot!”
Sanemi Shinazugawa was hot-headed, immediately showing a fierce expression.
Rengoku Kyojuro, who had sparred with Jon before, hurriedly intervened, “Sanemi, the Mentor’s cultivation is unfathomable.”
Sanemi Shinazugawa interrupted the Flame Hashira, “Kyojuro, spare the talk. I won’t sit still just because of your words.”
He turned around abruptly.
“Mentor, forgive me for his rude behavior!”
Kagaya Ubuyashiki felt helpless.
The nine Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps had experienced many hardships and found it hard to trust others.
He looked at Jon and bowed, saying, “Jon, please forgive Sanemi’s actions.”
“Lord!”
Sanemi Shinazugawa became anxious.
How could the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps bow his head down?
“There’s no need for forgiveness,” Jon said casually. “I was just thinking of giving everyone a demonstration.”
Since Kagaya Ubuyashiki had bowed down, Jon had no choice but to respect it.
Jon changed his tone without missing a beat. “How about… we go to Mt. Fujikasane now and find a demon to test how effective it was?”
A randomly selected lucky demon would be purged from every angle.
This move was to invite trouble.
The moonlight was bright and eerie.
Jon and the nine Hashira strolled casually along the forest path.
Before long, the strong human aura attracted a long-tongued demon.
“Haha! I’m so lucky today. I’m going to eat…”
Before the demon could finish its sentence, its expression suddenly changed.
What the heck!
Had the Hashira gather together after dinner?
Jon’s eyes lit up.
“Capture him!”
With everyone present being Hashira-level powerhouses, dealing with this minor demon was child’s play.
Shinobu Kocho chuckled as she covered her mouth, not even drawing her sword. With a wave of her hand, the demon inexplicably softened, its face turning pale as it collapsed to the ground in shock.
“Don’t come near me!” The demon cried out in despair.
“As we all know, demons need to be beheaded,” Jon naturally took on the role of the instructor, as if the noise in his ears didn’t exist. “But, with Ripples, that’s no longer necessary.”
With that, he squatted down and extended a finger.
Golden arcs jolted around from his fingertip.
Under everyone’s gaze, Jon gently tapped the demon’s chest.
In an instant, concentric Ripples appeared on the demon’s body.
The Ripples spread.
In the blink of an eye, the demon screamed in agony and turned into ash.
The effect was outstanding!
“Such a miraculous technique.”
Shinobu Kocho was the first to react, with eyes full of disbelief.
Compared to ordinary Breathing Techniques, Ripples were clearly more effective in defeating demons!
You could kill demons without beheading them.
Understanding the key point, several Hashira got excited.
Even the usually fierce Sanemi Shinazugawa was at a loss for words.
Jon smiled faintly.
“Ripples do not only eliminate evil spirits and demons, but also enhance your physical strength.”
In conclusion, this technique was a rare gem and Jon would teach this skill almost for free.
Glancing at the system panel where the “Legendary Points” were rapidly increasing, Jon silently nodded.
Hmm, it was definitely sincere!
The crowd was about to inquire about the specific training methods for Ripple Breathing.
Suddenly, Sanemi Shinazugawa shouted, “Hey!”
Without waiting for Jon’s reaction, this outwardly fierce Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps bowed. “I was wrong!”
When you make a mistake, you must admit it, and when you get hit, you must stand firm.
As the Wind Hashira, Sanemi Shinazugawa had an extraordinary obsession with slaying demons.
Wind Breathing was indeed good, but Ripple Breathing was better!
As long as he could become stronger, he didn’t care if he had to bow to others.
“No need for that,” Jon waved his hand.
In the future, when we confront Muzan Kibutsuji, you all are my important allies.
Helping you was helping myself.
Sanemi Shinazugawa breathed a sigh of relief.
“You have such a broad mind. I, Sanemi Shinazugawa, will remember this favor!”
[Ding, the Wind Hashira, Sanemi Shinazugawa’s favorability towards you had increased. Current favorability: ??]
Jon couldn’t help but think of the system texts he had seen in his past life.
Shaking his head, he cast his thought aside and said seriously, “The training method for Ripple Breathing is similar to the Total Concentration Breathing you’re all familiar with. Since you are all capable Demon Slayer of various styles, I’m sure you’ll quickly get the hang of it.”
[Ding, the Water Hashira, Tomioka Giyu’s favorability towards you has increased. Current favorability: ?????]
[Ding, the Insect Hashira, Shinobu Kocho’s favorability toward you has increased. Current favorability: ?????]
[Ding, the Love Hashira…]
Jon was speechless.
So, don’t engrave everything into your DNA.
Otherwise, it was easy to have random thoughts at inappropriate times.
Days and nights felt so long in the mountains.
Although only seven days had passed, Tanjiro felt as if it had been seven years.
“Nezuko, Urokodaki0san, I did it.”
Muttering to himself, Tanjiro, covered in wounds, staggered out of Mt. Fujikasane with his dull sword in hand.
In these seven days, he had faced countless dangers, but he had gritted his teeth and endured them all.
Thinking of this, Tanjiro couldn’t help but feel grateful to Jon, whom he had unexpectedly met.
If it weren’t for the food he gave him, he might not have made it through the first night.
On the roadside, the wisteria flowers swayed gently.
Tanjiro limped into the shrine.
The two girls responsible for the assessment had been waiting for a long time.
“Welcome back, congratulations on passing the assessment.”
“From now on, you are all members of the Demon Slayer Corps.”
Tanjiro looked around, and his heart was slightly shaken.
Dozens of people had entered the mountain when the selection started, but only four had returned?
“First, we will send the uniforms to you all.”
“We will measure each of your body sizes.”
“Then we will carve the ranks.”
“There are ten ranks in total, and currently, you are all at the lowest rank, ‘Mizunoto.'”
“According to the latest regulations, some of you will go to the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps for further training.”
“You will be personally instructed by the Mentor.”
