Chapter 215: The Suddenly Arriving Flying Slash

"Dreams don't matter, I just feel the sea is so vast, I want to go see it, and while I'm at it, act with chivalry and rob the rich to help the poor."

"Besides that... I also want to battle the various experts of the Grand Line and temper my own strength."

It was impossible for Uchiha Feiyu to tell Nami that he actually just wanted to go to the sea to stir up trouble and kill for cultivation; Nami's moral bottom line was just slightly low, not non-existent, and even this slight lowness was only when compared to modern people. If replaced by the Great Pirate Era, even if Nami couldn't be called a saint, she could definitely be considered a good person.

However, just like money, power, and women can be swapped for career, dreams, and love, Uchiha Feiyu was also very adept at using such rephrasing.

Killing to train can become tempering strength, and stirring up trouble can also be called acting with chivalry. As for robbing the rich to help the poor—this didn't mean much to Uchiha Feiyu, but for Nami, this little cat burglar, it was already enough to make her eyes shine.

To tell a joke, why does Nami, this little cat burglar, like to steal things?

Because when facing pirate crews, it is hard for Nami to win alone, so it is not easy to just rob them by force...

If she could win by robbing, there would be no need for Uchiha Feiyu to act; Nami herself would go rob the rich to help the poor!

Anyway, it is recognized on the sea that pirates have no human rights. No matter if Nami steals or robs, those pirates surely wouldn't run to a Marine base to report it, right?

"Fine... anyway, I want to become the best Navigator in the future, so I have to go to the Grand Line eventually. Following you, Feiyu, is no problem!"

"But you better be careful. Although your strength is good, there are simply too many monsters on this sea. Don't go provoking some monster you can't handle, I won't be buried with you."

Ever since she saw the heroic posture of that Marine Hero who was like a one-punch man, Nami had understood the top-tier strength of this world. She didn't want the captain she acknowledged to get a hot head and go battle those completely unbeatable monsters.

"Rest assured, I definitely won't fight those monsters in the short term. I haven't lived enough yet!"

Uchiha Feiyu answered seemingly relaxed, but a hint of greed flashed faintly in his eyes.

The more top-tier the ninja, the greater the temptation to Uchiha Feiyu. Whether it was their own unimaginably vast Qi and Blood, their souls that were tough to the point of being almost tangible, or the potential of their status in the fortune of this One Piece World, they were all absolute treasures.

To put it bluntly, if Uchiha Feiyu could pick up the scraps of Whitebeard like Blackbeard did, he could directly obtain power that could be called top-tier in the entire One Piece World!

Blackbeard could only obtain Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit, but Uchiha Feiyu could obtain everything of Whitebeard's except the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!

Whether it was his own strength, original potential, or his own fortune, it was all enough to support Uchiha Feiyu in ascending to the heavens in one step, transforming into a young version of the peak strongest man.

Even with the knowledge from the Book of Demonic Inheritance, Uchiha Feiyu could exert even greater strength than Whitebeard had in his youth with the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

So when Uchiha Feiyu's strength was sufficient, he would definitely clash with these strongest combatants on the sea, it just definitely wouldn't be now.

Nami could also hear Uchiha Feiyu's meaning, and her little face immediately fell:

"I really don't understand you men... why must you compete with those monsters to see who is better?"

"Alright... that will at least be a matter for two years from now. We haven't even gone to the Grand Line yet, who knows what the result will be?"

"If I didn't have any certainty, I wouldn't go looking for those monsters to die. Unless I have trained to a level that I feel is about the same as old man Garp, I won't go provoke those Great Pirates."

"I hope so..."

Hearing this, Nami breathed a sigh of relief. Recalling Uchiha Feiyu's performance, this guy looked like the kind of insidious and cunning person, not the kind of reckless pirate.

Thinking of this, she also put her heart at ease a little.

The small sailboat drifted on the sea. Although the boat was very small, it traveled on the sea steadily and quickly, as if walking on flat ground.

On the deck of the small boat, Nami, who had finished adjusting the direction of the sail, wiped the sweat from her forehead and turned to look at Uchiha Feiyu, who was exercising.

"Is it an illusion? Why does this guy's skin give me a feeling like scales?"

In fact, Nami did not see wrong; Uchiha Feiyu's body had indeed undergone some subtle changes, and the source of these changes came from his own Haki.

Before cultivating Haki, Uchiha Feiyu could only use some of the most superficial techniques in the Blood Scripture to control his own muscle tissue by changing his blood flow rate, quickly learning the Six Powers and Life Return, and even carrying out a certain degree of optimization.

But after cultivating Haki, Uchiha Feiyu finally possessed the attribute of so-called energy within his body.

Although the gap between Haki and the Dharma Power of the Blood Scripture was huge, they were ultimately both a type of energy. Having this commonality, Uchiha Feiyu could slightly change some of the properties of Haki to transform his own physical body.

After the Blood Scripture reaches great success, one cultivates into the Blood Soul form, but this does not mean there is only this one killer move. In fact, the Blood Soul is ever-changing and possesses many different forms.

It can even be said that every time a Blood Soul absorbs a life, it can absorb that life's form, which to a certain extent is quite similar to the Eight-Nine Arcane Art.

Of course, Uchiha Feiyu had no way to cultivate a Blood Soul in this world, so he cultivated the most basic Ashura Transformation of the Blood Scripture, which is transforming into the most basic Blood Sea Ashura—of course, relying on Haki alone, he definitely couldn't do this, but absorbing some of its advantages to evolve his own body structure toward the Blood Sea Ashura was still achievable.

Ashura appears in many different worlds and has all kinds of different origins, and this kind of Ashura in the Blood Scripture naturally originates from the endless Blood Sea of the Primordial World.

Compared to ordinary humans, Ashura are happy to hear of battle, possess extremely high fighting will and tough physical fitness. As far as a high-level world like the Primordial World is concerned, even the lowest-level Ashura is an existence that has stepped into the Immortal Path.

Although Uchiha Feiyu referred to the body structure of an Ashura, it was obviously impossible to compare with a real Ashura.

However, even if he only obtained a tiny bit of the fur of an Ashura's physical body, it was enough to make his body strength evolve significantly. He couldn't compare to freaks like the Iron Balloon or Undying Body, but without using Haki, defending against ordinary sword slashes was no problem.

"Hoo~~"

Exhaling a long breath, Uchiha Feiyu, who had finished exercising, wiped his sweat and turned to look at Nami:

"Hey, Miss Navigator, when can we arrive at Loguetown?"

"It will probably take about three days! But we still have to find supplies on the way. Our boat is really too small, there is no place to store much fresh water and food, and the orange saplings I brought from Cocoyasi Village are a bit wilted."

"Leave the navigation matters to you, anyway, I can't understand those sea charts."

Uchiha Feiyu waved his hand and said directly. Nami frowned slightly and sat down beside him:

"Speaking of which, Captain, after we get a big ship, we can't just let the two of us sail it!"

"In addition, the ship is currently missing a lot of necessary manpower. For example, the professions of cook and doctor must be equipped on almost every ship."

"It's fine in a small place like the East Blue, but if we head to the Grand Line, not to mention that the ocean environment there is more harsh and a small boat is hard to withstand, and that is long-distance sailing, the distance between islands is at least ten days or half a month. Just the two of us won't do."

Hearing this, Uchiha Feiyu was also a bit distressed.

In the One Piece World, there are of course those tough guys who travel the sea in single-person small boats, but basically, these people are either already standing at the top of the world or have their own unique skills.

For example, Dracule Mihawk, this world's greatest Great Swordsman is the undisputed first of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, possessing individual strength comparable to the Four Emperors and Admirals, so naturally, he can drift at will in a small boat alone.

Then there are Fire Fist Ace and Blackbeard; both were also traveling alone during their chase, but their strength was already in the forefront of the second tier, and Blackbeard had a peculiar constitution, while the single-person boat driven by Ace could be rapidly propelled by the Flame-Flame Fruit, so they could achieve the feat of traveling the sea alone.

Uchiha Feiyu did not meet either of these two conditions, and even if people like Mihawk, Ace, and Blackbeard were traveling the sea alone, if they were to drag along a burden no different from an ordinary person, they definitely wouldn't be able to be so carefree.

Uchiha Feiyu remembered that when they first entered the Grand Line, Nami fell ill directly. Although Nami, who now possesses the Slippery-Slippery Fruit, might not be bitten by poisonous insects again, regardless, with Nami's strength, without sufficient medical conditions and rest conditions, going to the Grand Line would be ominous.

"Tsk, first find a cook, then find a doctor, it's really a troublesome matter... where should I find people?"

Just as Uchiha Feiyu was sighing, a sharp Flying Slash suddenly flew over from the intersection of sea and sky in the distance, heading straight for their small boat.

"Watch out!!"

Nami, who was observing the sea conditions, was the first to see the Flying Slash flying in from afar; having not yet seen much of the world, she did not recognize that it was actually a Flying Slash.

However, looking at the momentum of the Flying Slash that seemed to split the sky and cleave the sea, Nami also knew what the consequences would be if their ship collided with it, and she immediately reminded Uchiha Feiyu in a loud voice.

Uchiha Feiyu naturally also saw the Flying Slash flying over from between the sea and sky; almost without hesitation, powerful Haki wrapped around the long sword in his hand, and then with a flash of blade light, he also slashed out a Flying Slash.

It was just that compared to the incomparably domineering Flying Slash from the opposite side, the Flying Slash Uchiha Feiyu unleashed was more than a notch smaller; the two blade lights collided, kicking up monstrous waves. A moment later, Uchiha Feiyu's Flying Slash was completely crushed, but the remaining Flying Slash also had its power greatly reduced and deviated from its course, brushing past the small boat as it flew into the distance.

"That... what was that thing?"

Watching the Flying Slash fly away, Nami asked Uchiha Feiyu with some lingering fear.

Uchiha Feiyu shrugged, gave his long sword a wave, and said indifferently:

"Couldn't you tell? That was just a Flying Slash!"

"A... a Flying Slash!? That was way too big! It looked like it could... it could... it could literally cut an island in half!"

"Don't be so surprised; you've already seen the old man Garp's fists. Compared to the power of that old man's fists, this Flying Slash isn't that big of a deal, right?"

Uchiha Feiyu said with a smile on his face, a hint of excitement appearing in his eyes.

The Flying Slash from just a moment ago was actually at the end of its strength by the time it reached here; otherwise, it would have been impossible for it to be blocked by Uchiha Feiyu's Flying Slash for even a moment.

Being able to easily annihilate the Flying Slash he had unleashed with all his might even while at the end of its strength—with a Great Swordsman of this caliber, and considering they were currently in the East Blue, Uchiha Feiyu immediately thought of a name.

Was the person who made the move Hawk Eyes Mihawk?

"Let's go, Nami! Change course, we're going to go check out the excitement too!"

Uchiha Feiyu spoke, but he didn't receive a response for a long time; he turned his head and saw Nami with a terrified expression, her two eyes brimming with tears:

"You, you, you... what kind of madness are you spouting? Facing a monster capable of unleashing a Flying Slash like that, you still want to go over and take a look? Don't tell me you're thinking of challenging him?"

"It doesn't matter if you die, but don't drag me down with you!!"

"Who said I was going to challenge him?"

Uchiha Feiyu rolled his eyes, his face full of helplessness:

"I just want to go see the situation; since the other party used a Flying Slash, they must be in the middle of a battle. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to observe!"

"Then it's a deal, you absolutely cannot let your blood run hot and go fight this mysterious swordsman!"

"Do I look like someone who lets their blood run hot?"

"That's hard to say; the training you did with the old man Garp a while back felt like you were throwing your life away..."

"Tsk... the old man Garp really doesn't know his own strength when he strikes... I didn't realize that at the beginning, did I?"

Uchiha Feiyu muttered; back when he was training with the old man Garp, there were several times he was almost beaten to death. At the time, he really thought that belonged to Garp's extreme training, but later, after hearing some Marines discuss it, he realized that Garp really had no sense of restraint.

Garp's subordinates had indeed produced many geniuses, but in reality... the number of Marines who had died, been crippled, or been left disabled after being trained by him was actually quite high, to the point that whether or not one could withstand Garp's training had already become the standard for classifying geniuses in the Marine.
