Starting from the pirates, pushing the world.

Chapter 2742 I want to see you again, Allen!

Inside the thirty-fifth duel arena.

The torrential rain from the Rain Tiger's Freedom Technique continues to rage.

The rain curtain stretched between heaven and earth, creating a vast expanse of white.

The battle between Yahiko and Mikasa did not stop after their brief clash.

Instead, the situation has become increasingly heated.

"Water escape. Water rushes waves!"

Yahiko's hand seals moved with lightning speed.

Rainwater and puddles quickly gathered in front of him, transforming into a rotating waterspout over ten meters high, which roared toward Mikasa's location.

He then followed closely behind, stepping on the waves, his kunai gleaming coldly, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.

He really does have some of the charm of Tobirama Senju in his youth.

It seems that I haven't wasted any time at the Water Release Advanced Ninja Academy these past years.

His chakra reserves are also extraordinary, placing him at a genius level.

at the same time.

Mikasa gritted her teeth, her eyes, usually as calm as a deep pool, now burning with a flame called obsession.

She was suppressed.

Under the relentless onslaught of water-style ninjutsu by this boy named Yahiko.

His most proficient aerial three-dimensional maneuver tactics and the Wind Breathing sword technique at the True Law realm were somewhat difficult to withstand.

"We cannot lose, we absolutely cannot fall here!"

Rainwater slid down her delicate yet resolute face and dripped into the mud.

The image of herself tying a red scarf around her neck kept flashing into her mind.

Allen and Armin
To revive them through legitimate means by the World Government.

The only hope is to become one of the 'top ten' and gain the right to make a wish to the Creator.

Therefore, it is essential to remain undefeated in the Swiss round.

Only in this way will there be a chance to participate in the round of 16.

"I must win!"

Mikasa gritted her teeth and whispered, her heart pounding and blood surging through her body.

Faced with the high-pressure water gun that was once again capable of cutting through gold and jade, the Water Release: Water Severing Wave, it was launched again.

This time, she chose not to dodge.

A cold, dark, yet violent power suddenly awakened from the depths of his soul.

The change in the atmosphere made the air seem to freeze.

Suddenly, the blue whirlwind that had been swirling around Mikasa stopped.

A chilling dark purple aura rose from within his body.

It quickly covered the entire left arm, turning it into a hideous ghost hand.

This is ghostly energy!

"Ghost Slayer!"

Mikasa, wielding a sword in both hands, let out a low shout and advanced instead of retreating.

[Swish! Swish! Swish!]

A piercing sound rang out.

Three dark purple blades intertwined in the rain.

A series of seemingly indestructible high-pressure water jets.

The moment they were touched, they were easily torn apart and scattered, like fragile cloth.

The water splashed everywhere, but it couldn't touch Mikasa at all.

"what?!"

Just as Yahiko was about to press his advantage, his pupils suddenly contracted.

He could sense the chilling, dark purple energy emanating from Mikasa.

In nature, it seems to have some similarities with Yin Release Chakra.

Before Yahiko could recover from his brief shock...

Mikasa took a deep breath and spoke again: "Katana Soul Yama!"

The voice just fell.

A blood-red circular array, 100 meters in diameter, suddenly unfolded between her and Yahiko.

In the center, a blurry, goddess-like figure, dressed in a dark red kimono and exuding a noble aura, slowly emerged.

Mikasa could feel that her strength, speed, and mental state had been greatly enhanced.

"Ghost Step!"

Her figure suddenly became ethereal, casting a ghostly afterimage in the rain.

It's several times faster than before.

Yahiko's inner alarm bells rang, but he didn't panic too much.

"Water Release: Heaven's Cry!"

As if summoned, the surrounding rain condensed into countless sharp water needles, which shot towards the approaching ghostly figure.

Mikasa, in her Ghost Step state, did not slow down at all.

"Moonlight Slash!"

She unleashed the 'Phantom Dance' technique, which was wreathed in ghostly energy.

The dark purple ghostly energy transformed into a crescent-shaped arc of light and flowed upwards against the current.

[Jingle bells—]

The sound of intense impacts echoed throughout the stadium.

All the water needles were deflected and shattered by the slash.

Taking advantage of this brief moment.

Mikasa had already closed in, less than three meters away from Yahiko.

"Ghost Slayer!"

It's that same trick again.

However, its power is even stronger under the amplification of 'Sword Soul Yama'.

"Water escape. Water formation wall!"

At the critical moment, Yahiko's chakra erupted.

A large amount of water flows around the body at an astonishing speed, forming a high-speed rotating circular wall of water.

The dark purple flames of the Demon Slash clashed violently with the water array wall.

Finally, with a deafening roar, they both disintegrated.

Yahiko was forced back several meters by the enormous impact, creating a slight opening.

This was precisely the opportunity Mikasa had been waiting for.

She gave them no time to catch their breath, the very next instant the water barrier dissipated.

With a sudden burst of power from his legs, he leaped high into the air, landing diagonally above Yahiko.

At this moment, Mikasa, with her back to the dark clouds and rain, her twin swords pointing downwards, resembled a battle angel of judgment.

"Silver Light Falls on the Blade!"

A beam of light, interwoven with dark purple and silver, hurtled toward Yahiko with a powerful impact.

He didn't have time to form hand seals.

The only way to withstand the attack was to cross kunai with the water blade slash effect above one's head.

【clang----】

The violent impact shook the air, the rain, and the ground throughout the arena.

The visible shockwave pushed the rainwater outwards from the two people as the center.

"Well!"

Yahiko let out a muffled groan and was sent flying backward by the force of the energy.

Their feet left long trails of water on the ground, only stopping a dozen meters away.

His hands trembled slightly, and the tiger's mouth had already split open, with blood dripping down his kunai.

Sixteen-year-old Yahiko is still too young.

Despite her talent, Mikasa is no longer the same person she used to be.

【boom! 】

Mikasa has no intention of giving Yahiko any chance to adjust.

Before even landing, he used the "Moonwalk" technique to bounce back in mid-air.

He struck a pose that clearly indicated he was gathering his strength.

Dark purple ghostly energy rose and burned around her like flames.

The twin swords had long been stained black by Armament Haki.

"Soul Devouring Demon Slash!"

The next moment, Mikasa, taking advantage of the momentum of her dive and empowered by her swordsmanship, unleashed her strongest move.

At the same time, she shouted in her heart: I must win no matter what!

I want to see you again, Allen!

Seeing the terrifying demon slash hurtling towards him with overwhelming force, Yahiko's pupils suddenly contracted.

Everything in the world seemed to slow down drastically.

This woman is so strong.
That's too late.

Whether it's the Substitution Technique, the Clone Technique, or the Water Release technique for defense.

At this distance and speed, it is difficult to perform effectively.

Not to mention dodging or using water blades to counter.

If this blow had hit me head-on, even if I hadn't died, I would probably have been severely injured.

"There's no other way!"

Yahiko's eyes immediately became calm and profound.

That was the composure that came after making a decision.

He originally intended to use this ability as a trump card.

Save it for the round of 16, or even when facing stronger opponents.

But now, if we don't use it, we won't even be able to get past this hurdle.

Although he could still gain points even if he lost, he didn't want to suffer defeat.

The three of them had agreed to make it to the round of 16 together.

I can't fall behind!

Yahiko suddenly opened his right hand, which was tightly gripping the kunai.

Palms facing outwards.

Aiming at Mikasa, who was already within arm's reach, he unleashed the 'Soul Devouring Demon Slash'.

next moment.

An extremely domineering, invisible repulsive force suddenly erupted.

"Shinra Tensei!"

【boom------】

In an instant, the world seemed to turn upside down.

A terrifying force field that defies description.

Centered on Yahiko, it spread outwards in a spherical shape in all directions, pushing wildly.

The curtain of rain was forcibly pushed aside, creating a large vacuum zone.

Mikasa's determined offensive came into contact with this repulsive force the instant it made contact.

It was like hitting an insurmountable wall of sighs.

The violent ghostly energy shattered on the spot, turning into countless streams of dark purple energy.

Mikasa felt an immense, unbearable force rushing towards her.

The 'Phantom Dance' in his hand almost flew out of his grasp.

Like a kite with a broken string, he flew back at an even faster speed than he had come.

In the blink of an eye.

Mikasa crashed heavily to the ground dozens of meters away.

He rolled several times before he could barely stabilize himself by inserting his knife into the ground.

She didn't care about her disheveled appearance, soaked by the rain.

He suddenly looked up, his face filled with shock, at the person opposite him.

In the center of the field, which had been cleared by the repulsive force, Yahiko still maintained the posture of extending his right arm, his gaze completely unwavering.

His entire demeanor seemed to have changed drastically.

That is…

Mikasa's eyes trembled.

No hand seals or chanting are needed; simply raising a hand can unleash such terrifying repulsive force, repelling everything.

This is not ninjutsu at all.

Telekinesis?

"Or some kind of Devil Fruit?"

Mikasa gritted her teeth and stood up, enduring the pain, trying to guess Yahiko's ability.

She hadn't expected the other party to have such a trump card.
