Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

In other words, Akame, your Murasame ability is basically useless to me unless I pierce your eyeballs or other vital parts.

How can a swordsman fight seriously if he hasn't even drawn his sword? It's disrespectful to the sword in your hand and to your opponent!

After hearing what Wood said, and after Wood proved with facts that he was not afraid of Murasame's blade, Akame finally slowly drew her Teigu Murasame.

In other words, apart from Tatsumi, who is not a Teigu user, everyone else on the field has now used their own Teigu.

Seeing everyone else with a Teigu, Tatsumi was actually quite envious.

Especially Wood and Brand's Teigu, Tatsumi's first impression was that they were both strong and cool!

It wasn't just the special effects of transforming with the Teigu that made Tatsumi yearn for it, but also the imposing figure in full armor after the transformation.

Tatsumi had seen Brand's "Possessed by Evil Spirits" several times, but this was the first time he had seen Wood's Teigu, making the scene even more visually striking!

Chapter 412 The Unrivaled Wood!

"Is this the Imperial Arm that Wood possesses? Besides enhancing his physical abilities like Brand's, does it have any other powers?"

Seeing the blue armored figure whose mere presence caused a layer of frost to appear on the ground, Tatsumi couldn't help but look at his companion and ask.

Tatsumi hadn't been with Night Raid for long. Looking at Wood in front of him, clad in blue, shimmering armor and wielding a translucent blue blade, he couldn't glean any useful information beyond his striking good looks. So, he could only turn to his "seniors" beside him.

"Don't look at us. This is the first time I've seen Wood use an Imperial Arms since I joined Night Raid."

I'd even overlooked the fact that he was a Teigu user. Normally, Wood didn't need to use his Teigu at all during missions; he could easily complete them using only his own power.

Upon hearing Tatsumi's question, Leone shrugged, indicating that she knew nothing. Apart from having known Wood for longer than Tatsumi, her knowledge of Wood's Teigu was similar to Tatsumi's.

"Akame was one of the first to join Night Raid, so she should know something about Wood's Teigu, right?" Seeing that Leone, who had joined even earlier than him, also knew nothing, Brand couldn't help but look at Akame beside him and ask.

"This is also the first time I've seen Wood use a Teigu, but I've heard the Boss talk about Wood's Teigu once before."

Like Brand's "Demon's Descent: Winter Knight", "Demon's Possession" is made from materials from a Super Dragon-type Dangerous Species.

The skeleton of Skasa, a super dangerous ice dragon that dwells atop snow-capped mountains, was combined with millennia-old cold iron, a mineral also found in snow-capped mountains.

In addition to enhancing the user's physical abilities, the 'Winter Knight' also possesses the ability to wield ice and resist extreme cold.

Brand's "Possessed" ability, in addition to increasing physical abilities, also has the ability to completely erase one's presence and become invisible depending on the environment.

"Is the operational meeting nearly over? Then I won't hold back from now on!"

While Akame and the others were analyzing themselves, Wood did not interfere with them. After all, they were just sparring, not actually fighting to the death.

After Akame and the others finished their strategic meeting, Wood suddenly launched his attack.

The moment he finished speaking, Wood's body, which had been standing still, became nothing more than a blur, and his body, which had shot out at supersonic speed, was already in front of Tatsumi.

"So fast! I can't even see his movements!"

Seeing Wood pass by him in an instant and appear in front of Tatsumi, Leone couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

According to their previous plan, Leone and Brand were to take the lead in fighting Wood, while Akame would look for an opening and strike to win.

As for Tatsumi, he was assigned to improvise... There was no other way. Although Tatsumi's strength had improved rapidly, there was still a significant gap compared to the others present. In addition, without a Teigu, he could only sit on the sidelines and look for an opportunity.

The reason Leone and Brand were assigned to be the main fighters was because Brand had the strongest physical abilities among them.

Leone, on the other hand, is completely unafraid of a war of attrition because of the Lion King's recovery and stamina.

What Leone and Brand didn't expect was that Wood, who had used his Teigu and was serious, would increase his speed so much, and that he would not choose them as his opponents, but instead decided to eliminate the weakest one, Tatsumi, first.

In Brand's eyes, Tatsumi might be the weakest, but in Wood's eyes, he was the most dangerous, so eliminating him beforehand was perfectly reasonable.

Because they were comrades, Wood, who rushed towards Tatsumi, did not choose to slash with his knife this time, but instead clenched his fist and threw a punch.

"clang------!"

However, just as Wood's punch was about to hit Tatsumi's abdomen, Akame's figure flashed in front of Tatsumi and used the Murasame sword to block Wood's punch.

The armored fist struck Murasame's blade, producing a crisp metallic clang.

As a gust of wind swept up, even with both hands holding the sword, Akame felt an irresistible force acting directly on her body through her arms.

Although Akame is slender, everyone in the Night Raid knows that she is a girl with superhuman strength!

The amount of food I eat each day doesn't turn into fat; I guess it all goes into my strength training.

Even so, when Akame's body was hit by Wood's powerful straight punch, she was eventually sent flying along with Tatsumi behind her.

The two were sent flying dozens of meters like cannonballs, and even crashed through a wall behind them.

Akame was fine, only suffering minor internal injuries from the impact, but Tatsumi, who was taken down by the impact, was in a bad mood, feeling as if several more of his ribs were broken.

Lubbock was absolutely right. He'll probably be bedridden for days after this sparring match.

Seeing Akame and Tatsumi sent flying by a single punch, Leone and Brand simultaneously launched a sneak attack on Wood from behind.

However, just as the two approached within a few meters of Wood, a bone-chilling cold suddenly burst forth from Wood's body!

The temperature in the air plummeted, and water vapor quickly condensed into frost, which then continuously gathered in one place.

"Bang——————!"

"Ding------!"

A wall of ice, several meters high and half a meter thick, suddenly rose up behind Wood without warning, blocking Leone's punch and Brand's spear.

The ice wall wasn't particularly thick, so it quickly crumbled under Leone's continuous punches.

But in that brief moment, Leone and Brand had already missed their best opportunity to attack. Wood had already regrouped and launched his attack.

The moment the ice wall collapsed, accompanied by a sonic boom, Wood reappeared in front of Leone using "Shave" and threw a punch at him as well.

Seeing Wood appear in front of him, Leone did not choose to dodge, but instead threw a punch with the same fighting spirit on his face.

Fists collided in mid-air, and the surrounding air was squeezed out instantly by the powerful pressure of the punches, easily shattering the ground.

"Crack——————!"

Then, the result of the fist-to-fist exchange was not the same as before. Instead, at the moment of confrontation, Leone's arm made a crisp "crack" sound.

That was the sound of Leone's arm bones breaking. Feeling the pain from the broken bones and the unparalleled power, Leone finally understood why Akame and Tatsumi had been sent flying with a single punch!

After Wood used the Imperial Arms, his power level was on a completely different level from before.

Despite the pain of his broken arm, Leone was not willing to admit defeat. As his body leaned back due to the punch, he used his incredible coordination to twist his body in mid-air and deliver an even more powerful spinning kick!

The long, shapely legs sliced ​​through the air, producing a series of sonic booms. It wasn't hard to imagine that if some unlucky soul were to be hit by such a kick, they would be sent flying hundreds of meters away.

"boom------!"

However, when faced with Leone's powerful spinning kick, Wood stretched out an arm and not only successfully blocked it, but also firmly grabbed the opponent's ankle.

To say it was steady and secure wouldn't be quite right, because with the contact between Wood's arm and Leone's long legs, a powerful shockwave erupted from the two of them.

Wood's body was forced back two or three steps by Leone's powerful spinning kick.

That's right, I only took two or three steps back, and nothing else happened.

"Wood, are you even human?!" Leone's face showed disbelief as she watched Wood so easily catch the spinning kick he had unleashed with all his might.

However, she had barely finished expressing her feelings when she realized that her weightless body had been violently flung away by Wood!

Wood originally intended to slam Leone directly into the ground in front of him, but considering that they were sparring and Leone had given him a lot of benefits in the past, he decided that it wouldn't be good to go too far. So, he ultimately chose to throw her away instead.

Almost at the same moment Wood threw Leone away, his Observation Haki suddenly sensed danger again, and a sound of air being torn apart suddenly came from the air.

Wood raised his knife to block, and with a crisp metallic clang in the air, his body was knocked back two or three steps by the force.

However, when he looked closely, he found nothing in front of him. But the warning from his Observation Haki was undeniable, and he had indeed been attacked.

"I see. So this is another ability of your Imperial Arm 'Demon Possession'?"

The ability to conceal one's aura to the extreme is indeed quite impressive, but when you attacked me, the flow of air, the aura you exuded, and the threat I sensed—these things couldn't be hidden along with you.

Tatsumi was seriously injured and left the scene. Akame and Leone were both beaten away by Wood, and they also realized that Wood had shown them mercy, so they were too embarrassed to fight anymore and instead became spectators with Lubbock.

Tatsumi, who was the most seriously injured, should have gone to get treatment and rest as soon as possible, but he stubbornly insisted on staying to watch the rest of the battle.

Brand was the real man in his eyes, and Wood was the undisputed number one fighter in the night raid. He didn't want to miss the chance to witness this battle.

At this moment, Brand had already used the invisibility ability of "Demon Possession". Under the power of the Imperial Arm, his aura was completely concealed, and even his figure disappeared from the field.

Those who raid at night know that Brand has a generous and straightforward personality. Although "Possessed" grants him perfect invisibility, Brand usually only uses this ability for infiltration operations and rarely for actual combat.

Brand disdains ambushes and prefers to defeat opponents head-on with sheer force, achieving victory honorably.

But now Brand has gone against his usual principles and used his stealth ability, which he previously disdained to use in battle, to deal with Wood.

This wasn't because Brand had gone against his original intentions, but because Wood's strength was too great, and Brand knew that he was no match for Wood in a head-on fight.

However, he became curious about just how strong Wood really was, so he wanted to use this method to force out as much of Wood's strength as possible!

"Is everything Wood said true? Why can't I feel those things..."

Listening to what Wood said on the field, the rookie Tatsumi felt it was all a bit unbelievable. Wood's use of terms like airflow, momentum, and sensing danger seemed too advanced to Tatsumi.

"So you're the weakest one. Look at everyone else, why did you get seriously injured?"

When given the chance to be sarcastic, the tsundere loli Mine usually won't miss it, especially when the target is Tatsumi.

“Mine, don’t make things difficult for Tatsumi. Few people can handle all the factors Wood mentioned.”

If it were me, I would probably only feel the sense of crisis that arises when the opponent attacks.
