Practicing the Tobu Zangeki

After taking a glance at the property bar, Roja muttered and decided to re-enforce the sword of the soul with more power. The property bar changed as a golden light flashed and the property bar changed.

The second stage: the ancient sword of the soul +8

Attribute: Attack power +85, power +24

Special attributes: All things in the world, turn to ashes – sword attack has additional fire damage ( the condition for the evolution isn't met )

Energy: 60/90

It was a significant gain for a rise that occurred in just three days. Not only did he increase the strength of the blade to +8, but he was also dangerously near to +9.

In half a month, I should be able to increase the strength of the blade to +10. But I expect to be back to my old self. In order for it to go into the next level, I need to satisfy some sort of requirement."

Roja glanced at the property bar and cocked his head slightly, as if he were thinking about something.

In any case, I haven't gotten there yet, so there's no need to think about it ahead of time now. I'll think about it when I hit the ten-point mark.

The most essential thing right now is to exercise and become stronger.

Roja's strength increased dramatically as a result of his understanding and mastery of the state of concentration, but he still had a lot to learn.

His rivals, including Garp and the Yonko, as well as the admirals, are all much more powerful than he is.

Roja realised in his mind that the strength he had now was little compared to what he needed to do to reach the peak of the sea. There was still a long way to go, and if he evolved the sword to the third stage, he would be a little closer.

…

Following the evaluation, Roja reached a certain point. The path to mastering swordsmanship is really a minefield of thorns.

A skilled swordsman is highly regarded.

In spite of the state that he has just learned, Roja isn't very powerful, and he can't be considered a swordmaster at this point.

The strength of a swordsman's Tobu Zangeki, rather than his concentration state, is used to determine his level of power.

There is a significant difference between a swordsman and a swordmaster. Moreover, its strength exemplifies the strength of the Tobue zangeki (Tl: look for Tobu Zangeki in one piece wiki).

A weak Tobu zangeki is only capable of cutting through a house.

A powerful Tobu zangeki has the potential to be earth-shattering.

Roja can release a little amount of pressure from his blade via the usage of the concentration state, but the space between them is less than a foot when compared to Mihawk, the greatest swordsman on the planet who is capable of cutting through icebergs. There is no way to determine the size of the distance between the two.

Using the concentration state, he was able to swing his sword with speed and power, creating a line of air pressure as sharp as a sword, which is known as Tobu zangeki (sharp air pressure line).

And with greater and quicker swings, that line is likely to become more stronger. It is not essential to be in the concentration state in order to create Tobu zangeki. They are, nevertheless, inextricably connected.

If the numbers for strength and speed were nine and one, respectively, the condition of concentration would be one.

Then the strength of the blast out would be nine.

For example, if the combined strength and speed are five, and the comprehension of the concentration condition is likewise five, then the burst of power would be twenty-five in number.

To put it another way, the two are complementary to one another.

"However, if it is a large Tobu zangeki, strength and speed become more important elements. That world is still off limits for the time being."

As soon as Roja saw Mihawk, he couldn't stop thinking about how powerful he was and how captivated he was by it.

Roja returned to the book in a hasty manner and began reading from it.

Swordsmen with great strength Additionally, zangeki need the ability to create things with his swordplay in addition to the Tobu.

And every swordsman has his or her own version of this.. The things they will create is decided by the route they choose to take to get there.

Some individuals choose speed as their primary power because they believe that they would be able to beat any swordsmen who rely on strength.

"So my extra fire damage was misinterpreted for the production of fire with a sword?" I wonder.

Roja had previously heard that Garp claimed to be a natural born fighter, and he misunderstood this for a capacity to generate fire as a result.

Many other types of swordsmanship were described in the book, but for the time being, he must take things one step at a time.

To go to the next level, he needed to practise the Tobu zangeki, and in the book, the easiest method to do so was detailed. He took the next step right away.

That is the technique of cutting with weights.

And when you reach a pace at which regular men will not be able to see the chop with their naked eyes, you have achieved success.

It's the same way Zoro used to train.

At that moment, the power of Tobu zangeki will almost double in strength.

The lack of specific abilities is unnecessary; all that is required is constant chopping until success is achieved.

When Roja looked over the sword practise techniques in the book, he gave a small nod, noting that he always prefers simple and crude methods.

If a sophisticated matter cannot be simplified, then your journey will be tricky as well.

This is Roja's way of thinking about things.

The Tobu zangeki was first practised by Roja after the courtyard had been restored.

Moreover, as compared to the false practise of the concentration state, this kind of practise is more genuine.

Roja selected the most straightforward method of training with the sword and immediately began exercising.

Despite the fact that it is the most straightforward method, it is also the most time-consuming.

Because he was had to repeat a single movement an infinite number of times until his arms were rigid and he lost sensation in them, making it impossible for him to wield the sword any longer.

Ordinary people would consider this training to be hell, but for Roja, those people didn't understand what hell truly was since he had been practising under Garp for a month before to this training.

a thousand times, in fact.

It was repeated two thousand times.

a thousand times a thousand times...

Roja worked hard to keep such small acts going. After hours of continuous exercise, he finally stopped when he could no longer feel his arms. And after the break, he proceeded to carry out the identical procedures.

After three days have passed.

His movements became more and more varied as though his muscles and bones were making decisions about how to move.

While he wasn't sure when it began, his body decided on the best method to exert force in order to perform a flawless swing while simultaneously choosing the best way to hold the sword.

And every blow had the exact same result as the one before it did.

"It seems that the first step of sword training has been finished, and the second stage is already underway..."

Roja muttered in his heart when he had the impression that he had finished the first level of practise that had been described in the book.

Following a brief intermission, Roja started his second stage rehearsal.
