Chapter 18: Preparation...

Bang!

"Slower! It hurts!" Kizaru growled in pain as a smirking Maki slammed a wooden sword on his head. Kizaru felt the wind flow, and his body suddenly turned into paper.

Maki watched with interest as Kizaru dodged her sword strike. Maki stepped on the ground and vanished, appearing behind Kizaru. Kizaru barely dodged due to not using haki.

He had a dark blindfold over his eyes that stopped his vision. He also had a single plug in one ear, meaning he could only hear from one ear. Kizaru jumped over a leg sweep only to be hit on the head.

"Argh!" Kizaru growled in pain as he crouched. Panda and Inumaki watched with amusement in the distance. They were eating some crisps when Kizaru turned to them.

Yuta was not here because he was sent to Africa to continue training under Miguel and other African sorcerers. Kizaru did not understand why, but he decided it wasn't his concern.

"Inumaki! Get your ass here. I need to sense a spark." Inumaki sighed before standing up. He handed his snack to Panda, who smirked before tucking it away.

Kizaru and Inumaki stood facing each other, and Maki walked to a distance to continue her Navy 6 training. Kizaru decided to teach her that technique.

She already learned Soru, Kami-e, and Rankyaku. Those techniques could be used by people with sufficient speed and strength. Maki is still sluggish as she does not have the power she would have when awakened.

"Inumaki. Please help me by attacking me with your cursed technique. Don't worry. I will heal you if you get injured." Kizaru said, and Inumaki nodded as he pulled his jacket down.

"Blast away!" Inumaki said, and Kizaru felt a force push him. His foot dug into the ground, making two trenches as he slid a few meters. Inumaki did not use his full power.

But even if he did, the most it would do to Kizaru is a slightly harder push. Kizaru's body is out of this world. Literally. 

Kizaru has the body of a one-piece character and the cursed energy to boost. However, he doesn't seem to have the talent of Luffy, Ace and Sabo.

His talent is more like an admiral since every admiral reaches their full power by 40 to 60. Kizaru is barely 18 years old. But it won't take that long, as he has cursed energy plus haki.

"Keep going," Kizaru said, and Inumaki did not hold back as he started spamming some words like push. Trip and crouch. Those words did not put much strain on his body. Plus, Kizaru did not resist.

An hour passed as the training continued, and throughout the hour, Kizaru healed Inumaki's throat three times. Kizaru did not continue after the hour as Inumaki ran out of cursed energy.

Kizaru also stopped because he could faintly feel the spark without outside help. With Haki added, he might even feel it better than Gojo himself.

"Thanks, bro. I owe you one." Kizaru and Inumak danced as they walked to the stands. Maki and Panda finished sparring with each other and waited for them.

"Who wants to go to McDonald's. I am hungry. I am buying." Kizaru said as he rubbed his stomach. The three nodded, and they walked off.

[Tokyo.]

The four walked towards McDonald's while chatting, and Kizaru suddenly stopped as he turned toward a tall building. On the roof, a sniper shivered before ducking behind the roof.

"What is it?" Maki asked as the three stopped. Kizaru shook his head as they continued walking. He did not feel the killing intent of the sniper, so he let him go.

The sniper let out a cold breath as he wiped the sweat from his temple. He felt like he would die the moment he even thought about pulling the trigger. With shaky hands, the sniper pulled out a phone.

"Sir, yes. He spotted me hundreds of meters away. Yes, I will keep watching, " the sniper said as he put the phone down. He had just been talking with the president.

He has been assigned a mission to monitor Tokyo Jujutsu High with three expert stealth teams. They were not only monitoring.

The USA, China, and India have already sent their people disguised as tourists to stay in Japan. Those people then started trying to awaken those supernatural abilities, and they had some results.

The other countries were preparing... To do whatever it takes to get their hands on those abilities for themself. Even if it meant war with Japan and those supernatural beings.

[USA...]

In a very secretive underground base. A bunch of scientists stood in front of a see-through window. On the other side of the window was a human in his mid-twenties.

"Show us," The head scientist said in the intercoms, and the ex-soldier nodded. He stepped forward and clenched his hand around the air. The scientist watched with awe as his cursed technique activated.

"Amazing..." The air started spinning in circles and concentrating more and more like a tornado. The soldier watched with hot eyes and awe at his new powers.

"With these powers... Couldn't I be unstoppable and do whatever I want?" The ex-soldier muttered, only for his body to suddenly stiffen as he went unconscious. 

Deep in his brain, a microchip sent a burst of electricity, shutting his brain down. The US has not let supernatural beings walk around without some backup.

"Are you sure the chip won't damage his brain? He is the only one currently with a cursed technique." A scientist asked, and the lead scientist shook his head.

"No, we can't damage him."

[China.]

A similar scene in the US was happening as a woman in her early twenties was held in a massive white room. She was surrounded by multiple layers of bulletproof glass.

Outside the glass were tens of soldiers with rocket launchers on standby and guns in holsters. The woman had silver hair in a ponytail and an eye patch on one eye.

"Show us your cursed technique." The woman sighed before pointing her hand towards a distant target. Their Chinese accent twas hick with interest.

"Stored Motion..." The woman said in her cold voice.

A knife appeared in the hands of a woman, and she threw the knife with all her strength towards the dummy. The knife in her hand vanished and struck the dummy.

Boom!

The bulletproof glass shattered like brittle glass, and the knife struck the outside. The soldiers paled as they looked at the knife, mangled into pieces before turning to powder.

Stored Motion is a cursed technique that allows Ling Qu to store the kinetic energy of anything. 

If Ling Qu sees a falling car, she can store the kinetic energy of the falling object in a metaphorical store inside her body. Even just standing allows her to store her kinetic energy.

"Beautiful!" The scientists were praised in Chinese.
