Chapter 71: A New Jutsu! I'm Waiting for Your Ultimate, What Are You Waiting For?
"Clang!"
Ren Arakawa's thick, sturdy tail met Shiryu of the Rain's slash!
In such a narrow space, he could only use his toughest tail and Iron Body defense to block this fatal blow!
The tail and the flash of the blade collided in the dark sewer, creating a piercing screech of metal on metal and a shower of sparks!
The famous blade in Shiryu's hand, Raiu, glinted with a cold light in the dim environment, its golden blade and red hilt standing out starkly!
Their initial clash brought a brilliant smile to Shiryu of the Rain's face, his eyes revealing a thirst for battle and an excitement for slaughter!
Ren Arakawa felt as though his tail had been hit by a high-speed freight truck. The immense impact forced his body backward uncontrollably.
Shiryu of the Rain's strength ranked among the top in the entire Pirate world. Even without using Armament Haki, this casual slash was almost more than Ren Arakawa could handle.
Looking back at his tail, he saw that even with the reinforcement of his Iron Body defense, its scales had cracked under the assault of the famous blade, Raiu.
This sent a jolt of alarm through Ren Arakawa's heart.
Shiryu of the Rain's power far exceeded his expectations!
According to the Okama King Emporio Ivankov, Shiryu of the Rain and the poison-man Magellan were known as the impenetrable fortress of Impel Down, their strengths being on par with each other.
Magellan couldn't stand Shiryu's bloodlust, which extended even to his own comrades. The two fought for days, with Magellan ultimately emerging as the hard-won victor, becoming the warden of Impel Down.
And Magellan, in turn, was said to possess strength rivaling that of an Admiral.
Rounding things up, the person Pirate Ren Arakawa was facing this time was an enemy with power basically at an Admiral's level.
Shiryu of the Rain looked at Ren Arakawa, the smile on his lips growing even more arrogant. He was savoring this overwhelming advantage in power.
His swordsmanship had no fancy techniques to speak of; it was simply filled with raw power and speed. Every swing of his blade was aimed straight for his target's head.
But there was no fun in cutting down someone who just stood still.
Now that he finally had a toy, Shiryu didn't want to exert his full strength just yet.
He was like a naughty child who had caught an ant.
First, watch the ant squirm for a while.
When it can't squirm anymore, then rip off its legs, tear off its antennae, and finally, crush it with one stomp.
Since Shiryu was giving him an opening, Ren Arakawa didn't stay idle.
On his shoulder, his feather-like kagune tensed like a drawn bowstring and released in an instant!
Twenty feathers shot out like arrows loosed from a bow, tearing through the air with a piercing sound as they flew with all their might toward Shiryu of the Rain!
The feathers were extremely fast, letting out sharp whistles as they streaked through the air, aimed directly at Shiryu's vitals!
Clang, clang, clang, clang!
Sparks flew in all directions!
The moment the feathers made contact with Shiryu of the Rain's famous blade, Raiu, sparks erupted like fireworks.
Shiryu of the Rain displayed his astonishing swordsmanship and reflexes. His Observation Haki gave him a warning that was almost like the precognitive ability of a three-tomoe Sharingan. He blocked all twenty feathers, one by one!
Shiryu of the Rain's gaze fell upon the feathers now stuck in the ground, a hint of surprise on his face.
The sharpness and durability of these feathers were beyond his expectations, and this method of attack was quite peculiar.
"What kind of Devil Fruit do you have?"
Having created some distance, Ren Arakawa didn't answer. His gaze was resolute as his hands rapidly formed Hand Seals.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
A massive ball of fire erupted from his mouth, rushing straight toward Shiryu of the Rain.
The fireball's temperature was extremely high, its heat wave palpable. The surrounding air distorted from the intense heat!
A flash of excitement crossed Shiryu of the Rain's eyes; he loved this kind of direct and fierce confrontation.
He didn't retreat. Instead, he charged toward the fireball!
The famous blade, Raiu, danced in his hand, creating an arc of golden light as it slashed at the fireball!
BOOM—
Sparks flew. Shiryu of the Rain's famous blade, Raiu, sliced through the fireball, actually cleaving the Great Fireball in two. The flames, split apart, quickly dissipated into the air.
Such a display left Ren Arakawa utterly horrified!
The Earth Grudge Fear on his shoulder was fully visible, and the motion of his hands forming Hand Seals paused for an instant.
Ren Arakawa knew with absolute clarity that even if Shiryu of the Rain stood still and took his next ninjutsu head-on, it would be difficult to break through.
Shiryu of the Rain's power was simply too immense for him to contend with at his current level.
In this situation, fighting head-on was no different from seeking death!
"What other tricks do you have?" Shiryu's sinister smile was chilling!
Ren Arakawa took a deep breath, and the blue Wind Spirit Earth Grudge Fear Mask on his shoulder seemed to inhale with him.
"Combination Ninjutsu: Scorch Gale Wild Vortex!"
In that instant, the scientific principle of wind fueling fire was demonstrated to its absolute extreme!
Just a moment ago, the image of Shiryu cleaving the Great Fireball was still vivid in his mind.
But now, as he swung his blade again, he felt an intense burning sensation on his face!
He immediately leaped back three steps!
A small step for Shiryu, a giant leap for Ren Arakawa!
Taking advantage of the moment Shiryu of the Rain was unable to parry, Ren Arakawa's hands moved at an unprecedented speed!
His expression was anxious yet tinged with a bit of unfamiliarity, clearly indicating he was attempting something he wasn't proficient in.
Beads of sweat had already formed on his forehead, but the movements of his hands didn't pause in the slightest. Each seal was completed with precision and speed.
At this moment, Uchiha Ren synchronized their vision. Seeing Pirate Ren Arakawa's actions, he couldn't help but hold his breath, terrified that any sound he made might interfere with Pirate Ren Arakawa's Hand Seals.
This was a ninjutsu that required forty-four Hand Seals. Its complexity was such that even a copy ninja like Kakashi couldn't perform it instantly; it required each seal to be formed precisely, one after another.
The power and range of this ninjutsu were terrifying, and its name was a dreaded one in the ninja world!
The deaths of Momochi Zabuza and Uchiha Izuna were also closely related to this technique!
The Chakra in Pirate Ren Arakawa's body gathered. Sweat dripped past the corner of his eye as he focused completely on forming the Hand Seals at high speed!
Ox - Monkey - Rabbit - Rat - Boar! Rooster - Ox - Horse - Dog - Rat!
Tiger - Dog - Snake - Ox - Ram! Ram - Snake - Monkey - Tiger - Boar!
Rabbit - Monkey - Rooster - Dragon - Rooster! Ox - Horse - Ram - Tiger - Snake!
Rat - Monkey - Rabbit - Tiger - Dragon! Ram - Rat - Ox - Monkey - Rooster!
Rabbit - Rat - Tiger...
As Pirate Ren Arakawa finished the Hand Seals, Uchiha Ren's eyes widened, witnessing an astonishing scene!
Behind Pirate Ren Arakawa, a massive water dragon suddenly appeared!
Its head touched the ceiling! Its body was shockingly enormous!
And this wasn't even because the dragon's size was limited.
It was because the space in the sewer restricted its size.
But even so, this water dragon still appeared incomparably magnificent. Its colossal body almost completely filled the entire sewer space.
The water dragon was a full eight meters long. Its scales shimmered with a moist sheen in the dim light. Its body coiled, and water roiled around it as if it could transform into a monstrous tidal wave at any moment!
The water dragon's eyes shone with a golden light, savage beyond compare!
Rooster!
The last seal was formed. The incredibly difficult forty-four-seal ninjutsu was successfully cast!
"What is this?"
Shiryu of the Rain tightened his grip on his famous blade, Raiu, and swung it forward, leaping up to slash at the dragon's head!
But Ren Arakawa, having poured all his Chakra into the technique, let out a furious roar: "Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
