Zabuza knew Shank's identity the moment he saw him, but there was nothing he could do because his red hair was too conspicuous.
Ordinary ninjas may not know this, but some information is not a secret to him as he was once one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
Red hair is the iconic feature of the Uzumaki clan. In addition, there is the terrifying amount of chakra, which is not comparable to that of ordinary ninjas.
The Uzumaki clan was destroyed because of the Whirlpool Country decades ago, and since then the Uzumaki clan has basically disappeared from the ninja world.
When Zabuza saw the other party at this time, he felt very sad.
Now I am the same as him, just a displaced person.
"Do you know me?"
Seeing Zabuza's expression, Shanks walked over and spoke in confusion.
It's not that he's insensitive, it's just that his "Observation Haki" didn't sense any danger.
Seeing Zabuza's expression, Shanks walked over and spoke in confusion.
It's not that he's insensitive, it's just that his "Observation Haki" didn't sense any danger.
"Not really an acquaintance."
Zabuza replied indifferently and then sat down directly.
"My name is Zabusa."
Zabuza replied in a cold voice.
Then, both of them fell silent.
"My name is Shanks. Now we know each other, hahaha."
Shanks grinned and sat down as well. The smell of blood on Zabuza's body had not yet dissipated, and the bandages on his body were still stained with blood.
It seems that I have experienced a tough battle on the sea. As expected, the sea is still too dangerous and I cannot go out to sea for the time being.
But since someone can actually come to this place, I can take this opportunity to get to know the outside world better.
Shanks was very welcome to Zabuza's sudden appearance, as it would be good to be able to use Zabuza to understand the outside world.
Shanks was not in a hurry. After resting for a while, he got up and continued practicing sword.
With a thought, the powerful force in his body began to gather on the sword. Zabuza, who was not far away, saw this scene and felt envious.
The chakra of the Uzumaki clan is really terrifying. Such rich chakra, this has exceeded the limit of a chunnin ninja, right?
But what on earth was that man doing? Chakra Blade is not the same as ninjutsu that could be used like that.
Zabuza could see that what Shanks was doing now was similar to the Chakra Blade user technique, which was to cover the weapon with Chakra to make the weapon more powerful.
But it's clear that Shanks did more than just that.
"It's still a little short, what should I do?"
"If the force used is too great, the harder it takes to control the energy from the sword . It's not just a matter of strength, but the fact that this force has not produced a qualitative change."
Thinking of this, Shanks looked at Zabuza not far away.
Zabuza was holding a hilt in his hand, and it seemed that he was also a sword user. It would not work to just work in isolation, so since someone had come, Shanks decided to ask for advice from the other party.
After a while, Shanks brought a skewer of grilled fish to Zabuza.
Zabuza looked at the member of the "Uzumaki clan" in front of him and felt a little doubtful, but after hesitating for a moment, he still took the food from Shanks.
"Do you know Armament Haki?"
Before Zabuza could make his move, Shanks suddenly asked.
"Armament Haki? What is that?"
Armament Haki? Zabuza had never heard of this kind of thing. Could it be that what this guy had been practicing was something called Armament Haki?
"You don't know? It's the kind that can cause damage to natural forces. For example, if the opponent's body turns into water or mist, but after possessing the Armament Haki, it can still cause damage to the opponent."
Seeing Zabuza's puzzled look, Shanks explained.
He doesn't even know about Armament Haki. It seems that the guy in front of him is not that strong, or rather, he is not in the Grand Line.
When I think about it, it seems to make sense. Although I don't have the memory of my original body, Roger should be dead by now, and I was at the scene when Roger died, which means I should be in the Four Seas area.
"So this power is Armament Haki? I really didn't know that."
After hearing Shanks' explanation, Zabuza understood.
He is not a newbie in the ninja world, he knows everything Shanks said.
The so-called natural power is some special bloodline limits. For example, Mangetsu Hozuki, who is also one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, can turn his body into water.
The only way to deal with this kind of ninjutsu is the sealing technique.
So, "Armament Haki" is a special sealing technique? It seems that the Uzumaki clan is best at sealing techniques, in addition to their huge chakra capacity.
Thinking of this, Zabuza suddenly reacted.
"How could I know such a thing? How could such a profound thing as Armament Haki be passed on to a random person like me?"
Zabuza thought, This so-called Armament Haki is not the secret technique of your Uzumaki clan, right? How can a passerby like me know such a profound sealing ninjutsu? Are you mentally ill?
"Ah? That seems to be true, hahaha."
Shanks also scratched his head in embarrassment. As expected, after transported into this world of pirates, his own thinking style was not normal.
How could just anyone learn something like Armament Haki? Even Luffy learned it with the help of Rayleigh.
Shanks can't help but muttered "Looks like even if you don't know Armament Haki, it's still too dangerous to go out to the sea."
After hearing what Shanks muttered, Zabuza next to him also looked a little solemn.
What Shanks said was indeed right. It was still too dangerous for people like them to roam the ninja world independently.
"I'm resting here. I won't disturb you, right?"
Zabuza suddenly asked, he planned to stay in this place for a while, until his injuries recovered, or to improve his strength further.
Otherwise, it would be too troublesome to deal with the pursuit from the Hidden Mist Village.
"No, I haven't been out to sea for a long time. Instead, I need you to tell me some things about the outside world, and we can also exchange our sword skills with each other."
Shanks said with a grin.
He welcomed Zabuza and was not that wary. Besides, there shouldn't be many strong people in the world.
"Exchanging swordplay?"
Hearing this, Zabuza became interested.
As one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, he excels in assassination, but his swordsmanship is equally good.
"My swordsmanship isn't bad either."
Shanks saw Zabuza's pride, but this was the Four Seas, and his swordsmanship was definitely not bad, and the swordsmanship of the person in front of him should not be better than his.
Shanks sheathed his sword and then faced the lake behind him.
"Would you like to see it?"
"That's exactly what I meant."
Zabuza also stood up. He wanted to see the swordsmanship of the Uzumaki clan members.
The next moment, Shanks' eyes focused, and a momentum burst out from him. The surrounding noises quieted down at this moment.
Zabuza only felt that Shanks in front of him had turned into a terrifying beast at this moment.
As his momentum continued to grow, Shanks's vision began to shrink, and at the last moment, only his target was left in his eyes.
Zoom! Clang!
The sword in his hand was unsheathed, and the momentum that had accumulated to the extreme completely burst out at this moment.
Zabuza only felt that the light around him completely dimmed at this moment, and then a terrifying knife light flashed and slashed directly towards the lake.
Wait? A jutsu? What is that?
Zabuza was no longer able to remain calm. Without any chakra fluctuation, how could a sword burst out with such terrifying power?
Even A-level ninjutsu can't achieve this level. Is this really swordsmanship?
You know, the swordsmanship in the ninja world doesn't have this kind of effect. Swordsmanship is the collision of weapons and there will be no special effects at all. Is this really swordsmanship?
With one slash of the sword, the blade light extended a distance of nearly a hundred meters.
Looking at the exploding lake, Zabuza stared at Shanks in amazement. He was completely stunned. The painting style had completely collapsed.
"You call this swordsmanship???"
