After he realised what he needed to do, he immediately started practising. Simple is Roja's practise this time, with both hands on the sword, pretending to be about to swing it, but not really swinging it. He was attempting to achieve a state of concentration.
Roja anticipated that he would be able to completely manage it in a month, but to his astonishment, his spiritual strength proved to be far greater than he had anticipated.
It only took him three days to be able to freely enter the concentrated state.
This time, Garp did not interfere with Roja's practise since he understood that he would need to select which path he wanted to travel on before he could be of assistance.
…
Towards the end of the day.
In his hand, Roja was carrying Honoo no Tsuki, which he was swinging continuously as he stood at the far end of the courtyard. On the edge of the blade, which was moving through the air, there seemed to be a faint light.
This was the domain of the Tobu Zangeki.
Despite the fact that his body was dripping with perspiration, Roja's eyes remained as clear as water, as if he were not experiencing any physical discomfort.
This was the point at which Roja had full command of his concentrated state.
He came to an abrupt halt after waving many more times.
"I can now enter and maintain this condition for as long as I am willing to do so."
Roja stared at his blade, which had been deflected into his eyes, and then waved the sword, followed by the words "Roja."
This is totally different from what I was anticipating. Getting into that condition made such a significant difference."
Roja regained his composure and grinned after gazing at his sword. His pupils constricted as rays of light raced in and out of his eyes before returning to the concentrated state.
His right hand is holding Honoo no Tsuki, which means "Honorable No Tsuki." Roja shifted his gaze to the wall, and then
wouch! wouch! wouch
He placed his sword down after swinging it about.
silence.
Roja made his way up to the wall. It was covered with lines that seemed like they were crisscrossing.
Boom.
A huge quantity of stones were thrown into the courtyard when the side of the wall fell at the same time that the wall collapsed.
The stones used in the construction of the Marineford are not ordinary stones, but rather very hard stones. A level of toughness that is second only to theft and kairoseki ( sea-stones ).
The sword sliced through it like it was tofu, even with such a high degree of hardness.
This is undoubtedly due to the fact that Honoo no Tsuki is one of the o wazamono swords series, but it is also due to the fact that Roja has perfected the concentration state.
After all, even the finest sword in the world will not be able to cut through it, and neither will the average person.
And Roja is certain that if he comes across another brown back ape, he will be able to break through its defences with relative ease.
With a pleased grin on his face, Roja slid the sword back into its scabbard, which he had taken from the wall that had fallen.
A voice may be heard at this point.
"Can you tell me what's going on?"
Garp, who had been roused by the sound of the wall collapsing, walked into the courtyard to investigate.
He was still drowsy, but he climbed out of bed to have a look around. His drowsiness had vanished in an instant, leaving no trace in his wake.
Upon seeing a huge amount of stone that had been sliced cleanly by Roja's sword, Garp was taken aback.
"Roja!!!" says someone. "What the heck did you do, you brat?" says the narrator.
"I just tried that with the sword."
Roja had fully mastered the concentration state, and his attitude was quite upbeat, so he said that while looking at Garp with a grin on his face.
"I attempted to use the sword!!!"
Garp glanced at Roja after delivering this statement and gazed at him for a while before asking again, "You have to cut the wall to put your sword through the test?" "How come you didn't use anything else?"
"It looked nice, so I went with it."
Roja was serious when he stated this.
Puff!!
Garp was on the verge of collapsing and spitting blood as he struggled to his feet. Mostly because he had heard this phrase before, and it seemed to him like he was very acquainted with it. It's because when he used to fight, all kinds of damage would occur, and when someone asked him why he destroyed everything, his response was always the same: "because it looked beautiful."
He had not anticipated this outcome and was unable to react to Roja.
I'm going to return to my room if there's nothing there."
Roja then waved to Garp before leaping to the second level from the window in his room and slamming the window shut violently behind him.
Garp is alone in the courtyard, which is unfortunate.
"Really this child learnt the incorrect way from me," Garp said after a time, clutching his chin. When did he first notice that I was destroying my own home? Why didn't he learn that I constantly demolish other people's homes?" I thought to myself.
Garp uttered this phrase without screaming, but Roja was still able to understand what he was saying.
Puff!
Roja, who was sipping water, couldn't stop himself from squirting the whole container into his mouth.
Even though Roja was well aware that Garp would be upset with him if he demolished the wall nonetheless, he didn't anticipate such a response from him.
Destroy the home of someone else... What kind of style of thinking did this person have?
Roja had been acquainted with Garp for more than a day or two, and he had become used to his unusual demeanour. But he didn't pay attention since Garp usually resolves the problems he causes.
After mastering the concentration state, I must now learn the Tobu Zengeki.
Roja muttered thoughtfully, and then he had an epiphany and realised what he needed to do. Because he hadn't looked at the property bar throughout those three days, it came in front of him very instantly with a thought.
Roja had been concentrating on managing the concentration state for the previous three days, and it wasn't until today that he remembered to glance at the property bar, when he was no longer restricted in his control of the focus state.
Even though I exercised the concentration state for three days, my physical strength did not deteriorate, and I should have gained some energy as a result of my efforts.
Roja walked over to the property bar to have a look.
The second level consists of the ancient sword of the soul (+17) and the ancient sword of the soul (+11).
The following attributes are available: Attack Power +80, Power +22
Special characteristics: Everything in the world is reduced to ashes! (Because the evolutionary requirement has not been fulfilled, the sword strike does extra fire damage.)
Improvements in energy efficiency: 146/80
When Roja looked to the bottom of the property bar, he was taken aback. he had no idea what he was getting himself into.
Is it true that the energy was not only fully charged, but it also had an overflow of over 60 points?
What the f**k is going on?
Roja was taken aback as he stood in a trance in front of the property bar. He pondered why he was exuding such a great deal of vitality.
Roja anticipated that he would only have a little amount of energy over those three days since he did not exercise, but to his surprise, he had an abundance of it.
Following his analysis of the energy value, Roja came to a conclusion gradually and methodically.
" I understand what you mean. Consequently, it is as follows."
He had previously hypothesised that the reason fighting raises the energy value quicker is because fighting aids in the nurturing of the soul's potential.
And over those recent days, he achieved complete mastery of the concentration state, which should be regarded as a significant breakthrough in the strength of his soul.
As a result, the energy level increased dramatically.
"That's all there is to it."
