The country of Vano.
There was a forbidden sacred place in the mountains near the flower capital.
This was the place where the divine tree grew.
If a person dares to enter there without Yeruashi's permission, he will be immediately attacked by the branches of the divine tree and turned into a'battery'.
At the massive trunk of the towering divine tree, a man sat with a blade on his knees.
The sheathed blade gave off a very gloomy feeling and emitted a dark breath.
Around the scabbard, a faint black haze could be seen with the naked eye, resembling the scattered will of the weapon.
It was the meito class of Saijo O Wazamono (12) of the Muramasa series.
This cursed meito has many names, but most often it is called the demonic blade.
This meito of the Saijo class About Wazamono was found and sent to the Country of Vano Doflamingo, after which he ended up in the hands of Yeruashi.
Although the cursed meito, as before, emitted a strong demonic breath, but as soon as Yeruashi just grabbed his handle, all this immediately disappeared without a trace.
Yeruashi has been sitting here for more than a month.
During all this time, he did not make a single movement, as if he had turned into a sculpture.
Robin had come here several times, but each time she left after a short observation, trying not to interfere with Yeruashi's training.
During this long meditation, Yeruashi's breathing became weaker every day.
But it did not disappear or merge with the surrounding world, but gradually merged with Muramasa.
Right now, looking from afar, an ordinary person would even have the illusion that there was not a person sitting under a huge tree, but a blade emitting an extremely sharp feeling.
Gradually, Yeruashi's human breath became weaker and weaker, and the sword's breath, on the contrary, became stronger.
Rather than merging with the sword, Yeruashi himself turned into a sword, tempered by the will of the armament countless times.
Silence.
Sakura petals gently fell on Yeruashi's head, clothes and hands, but he seemed not to notice anything around him, continuing to sit motionless in place.
His silver-white hair was decorated with several dozen sakura petals, and his clothes were completely covered with them.
Robin appeared nearby and looked at Yeruashi, who continued to sit under the divine tree, without making a single movement.
"Mr...."
She whispered softly.
Robin did not worry at all about the fact that Yeruashi had not eaten or drunk for more than a month, knowing perfectly well that he could not be compared with a normal person.
It's just that at this moment, Yeruashi, dotted with sakura petals, looked rather sloppy, but for some reason, Robin, on the contrary, seemed more beautiful and attractive than usual.
Robin began to feel like she was possessed.
It is very difficult for men to resist the charm of the Pirate Empress Boa Hancock, and it is equally difficult for women to resist the charm of Yeruashi.
When Robin was standing not far from the divine tree, watching the motionless Yeruashi, he suddenly opened his eyes abruptly.
A sky-blue glow flashed in his blue eyes, vaguely taking the form of a sharp blade.
Phew!!!
In the next moment.
The numerous sakura petals that littered Yeruashi's body were neatly divided in the center, as if they were simultaneously cut by the sharpest blade.
At this moment, Yeruashi's breathing was perfectly synchronized with the blade lying peacefully on his lap.
If the observer closes his eyes and perceives the environment only with the help of the will of observation, then Yeruashi will seem to him the sharpest blade that can cut everything!
This is the highest level of the path of the sword.
In fact, there is no clear generally accepted division in the world of Van Pease, and any strong enough swordsman can proclaim himself a great master of the sword, but only those who managed to reach the peak of the path of the sword truly deserve this title!
After Yeruashi went through battles with such great sword masters as Captain John and Silvers Reilly, and then received the knowledge of the samurai of the Vano Country about the path of the sword, which had accumulated over many hundreds of years, and plunged into deep meditation for a month, he finally managed to break through to this level!
Phew! Phew! Phew!!!
Yeruashi calmly held the blade without making any movements at all, but more than a dozen smooth cracks appeared on the ground under his feet, it seemed that the sharpest blade had left.
This was one of the signs that Yeruashi had reached the peak of the sword path.
Now his slashes are not limited to the blade and one straight line.
In the original, although Reilly's blade was clearly blocked by Admiral Kizaru, but he still managed to leave a wound on his cheek.
Even if the projectiles fly to the Hawkeye from different directions and at different angles, it can still easily cut each of them perfectly in the center.
When the skill of the sword reaches a certain level, the swordsman is freed from many rules and restrictions.
"Ah..."
"I've finally achieved it."
Yeruashi carefully assessed his newfound sword skill: "This is exactly what it is...great sword master!"
As he spoke, he slowly drew his sword from its scabbard.
At this moment, the demonic blade was absolutely calm, like a completely ordinary meito.
Phew!
Yeruashi swung his blade sharply.
The invisible slash instantly crossed a huge distance, disappearing into the night sky.
"Six Paths-Building the Release of the Eight Gates!"
With Yeruashi's calm words, a terrifying breath gushed out of his body, causing the ground around him to tremble.
At that moment, Meito's breathing almost completely disappeared, becoming completely insignificant against the background of Yeruashi.
Phew!!!
Yeruashi swung his blade in the direction of the moon in the sky, creating a huge invisible slash.
Robin, who was standing nearby at that moment, was stunned by Yeruashi's sharply increased breathing and involuntarily followed the movement of his blade.
The next moment, she froze in shock on the spot.
Right in the center of the big moon hanging in the night sky, a perfectly smooth black line appeared!
This thinnest line gradually became wider and wider, as if the two halves of the moon were slowly floating away from it in different directions!
Moon...it was cut in half!
Robin's mouth dropped open in shock.
"Ah, I've become noticeably stronger..."
Yeruashi nodded in satisfaction, looking at the split moon in the night sky.
The current skill of the sword allowed Yeruashi to use all his powers as effectively as possible!
If the amount of energy in his body is 100 units, then before studying the will of the armament, he could show a maximum of about 80 units.
That is, he could not use all the strength of his body, and to be more precise, he simply did not have a method that allowed him to apply so much energy in one direction.
After studying the will of the armament, he was able to not only extract all the energy of his body, but also apply it to a single target.
That is, he could use his strength one hundred percent.
And now, having become a great master of the sword, Yeruashi is not only able to apply all his energy to one goal, but he can also concentrate it by forming a slash.
With such strength, Yeruashi could cut the planet in half under his feet with just a swing of his blade!
This was the true power of destroying a large planet!
"Everything..."
Yeruashi returned the blade to its scabbard and folded his hands in front of him, seeing that the divided moon began to gradually collapse.
The sky-blue glow in Yeruashi's pupils formed an intricate pattern.
Six Ways!
Chibaku Tensei!
The split moon returned to its previous state under the influence of an invisible force, as if nothing had just happened at all.
