Chapter 302 Akin Displays His Divine Power [2]
However, it was precisely these brutal battles that allowed Akin's knowledge to soar like a rocket. He encountered all sorts of different types of enemies, dealt with all kinds of complex battle situations, and accumulated a wealth of combat experience. At the same time, his strength also improved by leaps and bounds during this year, undergoing a qualitative leap.
Perhaps, in the vast New World and the Grand Line, Gin is still just an unknown nobody. But in the relatively small North Blue, he has already become a renowned figure. Nowadays, the pirates of the North Blue are terrified at the mere mention of Gin's name, utterly lacking the courage to fight. Upon seeing him, they are like mice before a cat, turning tail and running away in fear, avoiding him at all costs.
It's fair to say that if Gin hadn't been a pirate, his illustrious achievements in the North Blue would have easily earned him a transfer to the Marine Headquarters and a promotion to Vice Admiral. However, due to his pirate background, this path to advancement became exceptionally difficult.
However, if Akin could achieve a truly earth-shattering feat today, even if Lieutenant General Sengoku didn't want to promote him, he would have no choice but to do so. After all, such outstanding achievements would be impossible for anyone to ignore.
"Crescent-shaped dunes!"
With a low growl from Akin, his arm suddenly began to expand rapidly, growing to the size of a crescent moon in the blink of an eye. With a swing of his arm, a massive sand blade made of sand shot out like lightning, slashing straight at Vista, the flower sword.
This move was developed by Akin based on Aini's description, and through his own continuous exploration and practice.
It can be said that Arkin has mastered all the techniques Crocodile knows to perfection. Not only that, he can even use techniques that Crocodile doesn't know.
All of this is thanks to Enni, who not only described Crocodile's various moves in detail but also revealed some additional moves.
It is precisely because of this that Arkin was able to achieve such a huge breakthrough in the development of Devil Fruit abilities.
That's why their strength has improved so quickly.
At this moment, Akin's admiration for Aini deepened even further.
He couldn't help but marvel at how amazing Aini's abilities were; not only could he accurately describe other people's moves, but he could also help others develop their own unique moves.
This ability is simply unbelievable.
While Akin's Crescent Sand Dune attack may appear to be just an ordinary sand blade, it actually contains a hidden secret. This sand blade is composed of countless tiny sand grains, existing in a loose sand state, and therefore does not cause any substantial damage to the enemy.
However, once struck by this sand blade, the enemy's body will be instantly drained of moisture, eventually becoming weak due to dehydration, and may even collapse like a mummy.
This is an absolutely terrifying move, and it's incredibly difficult to defend against. Because it's so deceptive, those fighting it for the first time are almost guaranteed to fall victim.
And once you get infected, it basically means death.
Or, a part of the body may simply dry up and become unusable.
Upon seeing this, Vista's eyes flashed with surprise, but he did not hesitate at all. He quickly swung his two swords and rushed forward like lightning.
His movements were as fast as the wind, as if he had already disregarded life and death, facing this terrifying move without fear.
Aini, he can't beat him.
He could not defeat even those powerful generals.
But when facing a newcomer, he firmly believed that he had a good chance of winning.
However, when the two attacks collided in mid-air without making any impact sound, a strong sense of unease suddenly welled up in Vista's heart.
"brush!"
His sword sliced through the sand with ease, and he felt nothing at all. It was as if the opponent's attack was merely an illusion.
To his even greater astonishment, the sand did not disperse as he had expected, nor was it affected in the slightest. As if controlled by some mysterious force, it maintained its original shape and continued to surge toward him.
Vista's expression instantly turned serious. He continued to slash forward with his sword, while his opponent's attack relentlessly pressed closer.
His heart pounded, and cold sweat began to bead on his forehead. His opponent completely ignored the blade that was also slashing at him!
Is this going to result in both sides suffering heavy losses?
"not good!"
He thought to himself, his years of combat experience making him realize instantly that his opponent's move was definitely not an ordinary one, but a special technique.
Moreover, judging from the force and angle of the attack, the opponent was clearly confident of severely injuring him in one blow. Otherwise, they wouldn't have resorted to such a trade-off attack.
Upon realizing this, Vista's pupils contracted sharply, becoming as small as needles. At the same time, he thrust his legs forward, leaping backward like an arrow, trying to dodge Akin's fatal blow.
It must be said that Vista is indeed a true master swordsman. Even in such a critical situation, he was still able to quickly recover and make the most correct choice.
However, Akin's strength has improved, so his attack speed is naturally not slow.
Despite Vista's best efforts to dodge, he couldn't completely avoid the attack. The tail of his sand blade ultimately grazed Vista's left wrist.
In an instant, it was as if all the moisture in his right wrist had been instantly sucked away, leaving his wrist shriveled and dry, like a dried-up corpse.
"clang!"
The sword in his hand seemed to have lost all its power, suddenly slipping from his grasp and crashing straight to the ground with a crisp sound.
This sudden turn of events startled Vista, whose gaze instinctively followed the blade before finally settling on the ground.
When he saw the knife lying quietly on the ground, his expression instantly turned serious.
A strong sense of doubt welled up in his mind: how could this knife have fallen to the ground so inexplicably?
He clearly remembered that he had held it tightly in his hand the whole time, without letting go at all!
Vista, the foil swordsman, instinctively reached out to pick up the knife, but the instant his hand extended, he suddenly realized a horrifying fact—his wrist was completely dry, like a dried-up corpse!
This bizarre scene made Vista's face turn extremely ugly. His expression changed several times in an instant, first astonishment, then disbelief, and finally deep fear.
