Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Convenient Abilities, Hina is Quite Fond
"Nojiko and Tashigi widened their eyes, carefully watching every move of Tanjiro Kamado's swordsmanship.
For Nojiko, this was her only chance to understand him as she challenged Tanjiro Kamado's sword shadows.
As for Tashigi, she was completely captivated by the exquisite swordsmanship of Water Breathing.
Not only Tashigi, even Hina, who never used a sword, admired the swordsmanship of Water Breathing.
"Although not extremely powerful sword techniques, each move seems to be tailored to the situation."
"If used proficiently, one could become a formidable swordsman."
Hina exhaled a puff of smoke, generously praising the swordsmanship of Water Breathing.
"So amazing!"
"Compared to my sword technique, 'Slashing Rain,' Water Breathing's swordsmanship is much more refined."
"And how does he manage to evoke water flow while performing swordsmanship?"
"Isn't that the ability of Devil Fruit?"
As Tanjiro Kamado paused for a moment after executing the ninth form of Water Breathing, Tashigi finally caught her breath.
"It's not the ability of Devil Fruit."
"When Water Breathing is performed, the flow and the blood within the body are automatically transformed into that soft yet resilient water flow."
Rosen casually took his own blade, Zangetsu. Under the execution of Water Breathing, a stream of water immediately surged on the blade of Zangetsu.
Watching the water flow on Zangetsu so close, Tashigi once again felt amazed.
However, soon her attention was drawn to the voice of Tanjiro Kamado from the arena.
"Water Breathing · Tenth Form · Constant Flux!"
Roar!
As the words fell, a dragon's roar suddenly sounded around Tanjiro Kamado.
In the astonished gaze of Tashigi and others.
The water flow on Tanjiro's blade surged frantically and eventually formed a water dragon.
The water dragon spun and rolled with Tanjiro's movements.
And the more Tanjiro and the water dragon rolled, the stronger the hidden strikes beneath the water dragon became.
In an instant, most of the center of the arena was covered by the water dragon and the waves.
"So... powerful!"
"This move is too amazing!"
Tashigi held her long sword excitedly, her eyes fixed on Tanjiro Kamado's movements.
Standing outside the arena, she could clearly see every swing and roll of Tanjiro's sword.
For the opportunity to appreciate such exquisite swordsmanship, Tashigi didn't want to give up.
"So strong! With just the third form of Water Breathing, can I really win?"
Nojiko frowned, feeling a slight unease in her heart.
"No, how can I think like this."
"My basic speed and strength are much higher than Tanjiro Kamado's now."
"If I can lose in such a situation, Captain Rosen will be very disappointed."
Nojiko shook her head and looked firmly at Rosen.
"I must win!"
Hina furrowed her eyebrows, placing her hand on Rosen's shoulder, and asked:
"Hey, Rosen, has Nojiko mastered the tenth form of Water Breathing yet?"
Knowing Tashigi well, Hina didn't think Tashigi would lose to Nojiko.
But after watching Tanjiro Kamado demonstrate the tenth form of Water Breathing, she became uncertain.
"As you know, Nojiko has only been practicing for a short time."
"Currently, she has only mastered the third form of Water Breathing, 'Flowing Dance.'"
Rosen smiled.
"So, I hope you won't deceive Hina."
"Please rest assured, I won't deceive Captain Hina."
Hina narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling that Rosen still had some things hidden from her.
Just as she was about to ask, Tashigi's exclamation diverted her attention.
"Flames?! How did the water dragon turn into a fire dragon?"
"Is this also Water Breathing?"
Tashigi stared wide-eyed, somewhat puzzled, at Rosen.
Even Nojiko looked at Rosen with the same confusion.
Hina frowned and looked towards the arena.
Only to see that the water dragon guided by Tanjiro Kamado had turned into a fire dragon.
The blazing flames seemed like they could break through the isolation glass of the arena at any time, engulfing the entire Sword Enlightenment Room.
"That's no longer the sword form of Water Breathing."
"It's the Dance of the Fire God, the power of Sun Breathing."
"At this moment, the boy in the arena forcefully changed the breathing method from Water Breathing to Sun Breathing while using the tenth form of Water Breathing."
"So it turned the water dragon into a fire dragon."
"However, this forced change of sword form is a power that imposes a great burden on the body."
"If the body is not strong enough, at the moment of stopping, one will never be able to stand up again."
"Of course, the boy inside is a virtual swordsman shadow created by my ability, and will not fall."
Rosen smiled and turned to Nojiko.
His words were not just casual remarks, but a reminder to Nojiko not to forcibly switch between the two breathing methods after mastering Water Breathing and Sun Breathing.
"Sun Breathing, Dance of the Fire God?"
"Although I don't know what this power is, it seems more powerful than the so-called Water Breathing."
Hina extinguished her finished cigarette and pulled out another one, handing it to Rosen.
Seeing this, Rosen raised his left hand in front of Hina, using Sun Breathing to snap his fingers.
A flame ignited on his fingertip.
Looking at the flame surrounding Tanjiro Kamado in the arena, similar to the flame surrounding Rosen, Hina raised her eyebrows and lit her cigarette with the flame on Rosen's fingertip.
"Convenient ability, Hina likes it very much. Rosen, can you teach me?"
At the remark, Rosen's lips curled up and said:
"Not everyone is suitable for my swordsmanship."
"Although that's the case, if Miss Hina can help me obtain some famous swords..."
"I can give Miss Hina a little guidance, provided Miss Hina is interested in using swords."
