Chapter 283 Ash: I will strike with freedom!
A deafening roar echoed across the sky.
Amidst the towering tornado that even heavy rain couldn't extinguish, Jin clenched his fist as if reborn from the ashes.
"This is the true form of the Great Tengu!"
A feather fan of wind drifts down from the sky, slowly seeping into the skin where the heart resides.
The loud pounding of a heartbeat caused the sand and gravel on the ground to dance.
Countless threads of gentle breeze spread outwards from the heart.
As the silk threads traverse every inch of skin, the originally invisible wind element instantly condenses and hardens.
The azure-colored wind fragments rapidly took shape, much like Iron Man's nanotech armor!
The tornadoes, reaching the sky, grew increasingly frenzied.
The howling wind seemed to foreshadow the arrival of evil spirits.
Through this translucent tornado, you can vaguely see the "figure" inside rapidly expanding.
When the storm showed signs of dissipating, a nearly twenty-meter-tall armored monster appeared.
The full-coverage armor has a sky-blue base color, with flowing, wind-like patterns outlined in azure elements. It is a reverse bow with sharp claws.
As the last bit of the tornado dissipated into the sky and earth.
A streak of light flashed upwards from the feet, finally settling behind the helmet hole corresponding to the eye.
The instant the dazzling heterochromatic eyes appeared!
The black wings behind him, which had also grown larger, had a unique texture that only steel could possess.
The two dragons roared and charged toward their master, then danced in the sky above them before quickly disappearing into their wings.
The left wing is burning and on fire, corresponding to flames.
The right wing is spatially distorted, corresponding to a gale.
With the two dragons returning to their positions, Ōtengu's free form enters its final transformation phase.
Liquid flames flowed from the fireball suspended behind the wings.
It wrapped around the master's right arm armor at an extremely fast speed, and then solidified and deformed.
Before long, a long chain with a golden, glassy appearance appeared, with the lock held in Jin's hand.
"call----"
"This is the first time I've used this posture since I ate the fruit."
Feeling the immense power within his body, Jin looked down at his hands.
"Although it's a bit of a waste to use this on you small fry, the implications are different now, so it's not a huge loss."
Whoosh—!
Three figures attacked from the left, right, and top.
Three blades, flashing with cold light, slashed towards three different locations.
when--!!
Seeing that his blade couldn't even cut through the enemy's armor, Kin'emon cried out in disbelief, "Impossible!!!"
"What kind of sorcery is this?!"
"Sorcery? Heh heh heh... Hahahaha!!"
Jin raised his hands and grabbed Kikunojo and Denjiro on either side, slamming them hard into the ground.
Before the last remaining Kin'emon could strike, he did so.
"Double Dragon Kill!!"
The ground beneath their feet suddenly bulged, and the leaking flames swelled with the wind.
"Go to hell, you piece of trash!"
"A mere firefly dares to dance with the sun!"
boom--!!!
A pillar of fire, imbued with wind elements, erupted, piercing through the dark clouds and reaching the sky!
Three scorched figures were rapidly retreating from the fire tornado.
"Kin'emon, that guy's amazing!"
Denjiro ran his left hand across the blade, staining the blade black with cherry blossoms.
"I have to use Ryuo now; this isn't the time to conserve energy!"
Kikunojo took out a demon mask from his backpack and put it on, instantly changing his demeanor.
The original gentle feminine aura vanished at this moment, replaced by a coldness and malevolence.
"I share the same view; let us do everything in our power to slay the enemy!"
"Everything is for the future of Wano Country!"
"I'll go first!"
"The Snow-Covered Scythe!"
The powerful flying slashes transformed into circular halos that flew towards the enemy.
"Gunball Slash!"
"A pointless attack."
The fire tornado suddenly parted, and a figure in armor slowly emerged.
The wings on its back suddenly flapped, and wind blades mixed with steel feathers shot out!
After colliding with and canceling out the enemy's flying slash, the remaining attack continues to fly towards the enemy.
Without looking at Kikunojo again, Jin turned his gaze to the sky.
"Falling Wind".
call-!
A gust of wind descended from the sky, knocking Denjiro, who had leaped up to deliver a powerful slash, to the ground.
Then, with a flick of his right wrist, the glass chain wrapped around his right arm flew towards a certain spot of smoke and dust.
"What?!"
From within the smoke came Kin'emon's startled cry, "What the hell is that?!"
A crimson shooting star flashed in Jin's left eye.
"Emperor Flame - Fire Meteor!"
The chains suddenly flashed a bright red light, and the next second, a thunderous explosion spread into the depths of the smoke.
Along with it came horrifying screams.
"One-Sword Style Secret Technique: Snow Remnant Scythe - Despair Slash!"
The blade flashed, but the expected burst of blood did not occur.
Jin examined the crack at the heart of the armor and gently touched it with his left hand.
The crack disappeared.
He then raised his hand and grabbed the blade of the enemy who leaped out of the smoke and struck.
His eyes were fixed on Kin'emon, his contempt and disdain undisguised.
"You little bastard, you dare to dream of dancing?"
The immense force pulled Kin'emon to his left, thus blocking Denjiro's attack.
He then raised his leg and kicked straight, sending the two men flying before twisting his body in the process.
The right foot leads the body to move to the side.
As the two bodies parted, Jin raised his left arm armor and moved forward, his large hand directly grabbing Kikunojo.
"Wind Prison".
"!!!"
A semi-transparent membrane enveloped Kikunojo, within which countless tiny wind blades flew haphazardly.
Soon, the wind was stained red with the blood spurting from the enemy's wounds.
"The first one————"
Dropping the samurai whose fate was unknown, Jin muttered to himself as he looked at the other two men roaring angrily not far away.
"How dare you hurt Kikunojo! I won't let you get away with this!!"
Grip the two swords tightly.
Kin'emon roared and charged forward. His weapons seemed to be influenced by their master's conviction, and the flowing cherry blossoms wrapped around them were shrouded in a hazy red light.
"Foxfire Style—"
With his twin swords held horizontally in front of him, Kin'emon's speed suddenly increased.
Rings of flame suddenly appeared at the edge of the blade.
"A flash of fire!"
The crimson light shot towards the enemy like a meteor.
"A super-fast slash wreathed in flames and imbued with domineering aura, huh? Not a bad attack, but—"
Kin'emon was stunned when he saw the enemy easily block his attack with his arm.
"Flame is not a rare thing; anyone can use this ability."
"Moreover, my race is favored by the world."
Flames coiled around his right arm, and a new glazed gold chain rapidly formed, followed by a burst of crimson light.
boom-!!
The pillar of flame shot out horizontally.
"Flame Slash! Hah!!!"
In a moment of crisis, Kin'emon gripped a sword in his teeth and unleashed a powerful slash that split the flames.
The shockwave from the blade cleaved the pillar of fire released by Ember in two.
"Denjiro!"
"Ah, I know."
Denjiro, who had somehow ended up standing next to Kikunojo, bent down and picked up the other man's sword.
"Lord Oden, now is the time to uphold my loyalty!"
"Oden's Two-Sword Style!"
As he stepped back with his left foot, he slightly raised his right foot, held the knife horizontally in front of him with his right hand, and raised the knife overhead with his left hand.
The twin blades intertwined exude an imposing aura!
Bang--!!
The ground is cracked.
Denjiro rushed toward his stunned enemy.
"Oden Two-Sword Style: Togen Totsuka!!!"
The cross-shaped slash of the twin blades propelled its master forward like a bullet.
"Didn't I already say that?"
"This is the freest pose I can take."
"Because the wind is free..."
Suddenly, the massive armored figure of Jhin, who had been staring blankly at the enemy's attack, vanished without a trace.
"Why do you think that a powerful, charged strike could hit me?"
The Dual-Sword Style technique strikes the air, unleashing a burst of power onto the earth.
Boom~~
Thunder flashed across the sky once more.
The light that illuminates the world casts shadows.
Denjiro froze, staring blankly at his shadow covering the ground.
"When—"
"How can you be so agile while wearing such enormous armor?!"
A bloody, murderous intent flashed in the wind.
Jin slowly turned around, no longer looking at Denjiro who had his back to him.
"To you, this armor may be a constraint, but to me—"
On the armor, invisible to the naked eye, the rhythm of the wind element "breathing" is slow yet firm.
"It is simply my free spirit."
The shadow branded on the ground suddenly split in two, and steaming blood spurted out as black shadows.
"Your turn, the last small fry."
"Denjiro!!"
Kin'emon's eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Jin, the anger and resentment within them seeming as if he wanted to devour him.
Why do you feel angry?
Jin walked slowly, as gracefully and freely as a skilled cat.
"Is it because I killed your companion?"
"Or is it that my existence prevents you from fulfilling your loyalty?"
"You shouldn't be angry, because you're weaker than me."
"But they are still better than unarmed civilians, so you can't be angry."
"I don't attack unarmed people, but if they are holding a knife, it means they have the potential to harm me."
"In this way, I can kill him without any guilt, because he is the enemy."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Kin'emon's body was trembling, but not from fear.
Rather, it was the last burst of adrenaline before death.
It knows what the body needs at this moment.
Courage that falls from the sky and inexhaustible strength.
"Even if I die here, Lord Oden will avenge us!"
"Oden's Two-Sword Style!!"
Seeing the enemy strike the exact same pose again, a hint of disappointment flashed in Jhin's eyes.
Those who never learn from their mistakes will always be weak.
"Having just witnessed his comrade die from this attack, why would he use such a move again?"
The armored man's breathing suddenly quickened!
Even Kin'emon, who was gathering his strength, noticed this.
"Your armor is alive!?"
Swish-!
The afterimage dissipated, and Jin suddenly appeared to Kin'emon's right, throwing a punch.
He sent his enemy, who was about to finish charging up, flying with a single punch.
He loosened his right fist, and the fiery chains flew out.
Suddenly!
Jin gripped the flying chain tightly and pulled it forcefully toward himself.
The enemy, sent flying backwards, has returned once more.
Bang—bang—bang—
One punch, two punches —
His fists pounded into the enemy like water droplets.
Whenever an enemy tries to break free, the chain binding their waist tightens and pulls them back.
"Ootengu, this Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit has given me more than just control over the wind."
He lifted Kin'emon's swollen body with his left hand.
As the enemy lay dying, Jhin decided to say a few more words.
At least let the enemy die knowing why.
"There is also a superhuman strength hidden deep within and a power called the wind of freedom."
"This armor is actually just a symbol of freedom."
"It allows me to use my own power more freely, and the elements filtered through them are purer, in the words of scientists."
"It will be more powerful and easier to control, like my Flame Chains."
"Under normal circumstances, I can control flames to create a wide-range attack, but I can't do it with this much precision."
"I am only six meters tall, but when I put on the armor, I become a giant."
"The bodies you see and the bodies that attack are actually all wind. That bespectacled idiot asked me why I'm so fast when I'm wearing such huge armor."
"You all thought I was moving quickly while wearing armor, but actually I was just re-transforming the wind armor into wind elements and absorbing them into my body."
"It's simply used to launch an attack after a rapid movement or to release it in an instant when defense is needed; that's all."
"My body has never grown larger."
"—Cough, you monster."
After vomiting several mouthfuls of blood, with a bruised and swollen face and countless broken bones, Kin'emon looked at Kawamatsu, who was fighting Jinbe not far away.
"At least, at least let Kawamatsu go. He's not from Wano Country; he's just a monster fish-man from elsewhere."
"Even when death is imminent, there's still the energy to care about other things."
Throw the enemy into the air, then use your left hand to form a knife shape with your fingers together and slash from a distance.
The dim shadow on the ground was divided into two parts.
After killing Kin'emon, King looked at Kikunojo, who was seriously injured and on the verge of death not far away, and controlled the whirlwind to strike down from a distance once more.
After confirming that all traces of the enemy had disappeared, he then looked at Jinbe.
"Stop playing around, Jinbe."
"Bazaar said that this fight has nothing to do with right or wrong."
"If we are soft-hearted, we will surely be the ones to lose in the future. For peace, for freedom, for this land to have a true future."
"Kill him."
