Chapter 106: The Fusion Of Chakra And Zanpakutō
At this moment, Yuichi gradually recovered. He stood up slowly, sensing the changes within himself.
The three powers—Tailed Beast Chakra, Reiatsu, and Haki—maintained a delicate balance within his body. What Yuichi found most difficult to comprehend was that Shukaku was actually staying inside him now. Closing his eyes, he could feel Shukaku's presence. Even though the beast's strength had been deprived by him, Yuichi could control Shukaku's power at will.
At the same time, Yuichi's Senbonzakura seemed to have evolved due to the fusion with Shukaku's Chakra. What Yuichi felt most clearly was... the wind!
Yuichi seemed to be able to control the power of the wind with ease. The changes in the surrounding airflow were particularly obvious.
"Because Shukaku can use Wind Style, does it make me more sensitive to the wind?"
A small vortex appeared in the palm of his raised hand. It seemed he could release wind blades, air compression guns, and similar attacks effortlessly. Yuichi had a hunch that this power was also in his Zanpakutō. The slash he drew now would be even more terrifying. Even the blade fragments after releasing the Zanpakutō could burst out with the power of Wind Style, giving Senbonzakura's cutting ability a terrifying boost.
At the same time, the Tailed Beast Chakra combined with Reiatsu and Haki formed a defensive triad. The defensive effect would be monstrous. Yuichi felt he could now easily catch Garp's full-strength iron fist with his bare hands.
The changes brought about by Shukaku's power were nothing short of amazing. However, this fusion was very strange, and Yuichi felt that it was not directly caused by the influence of Shukaku's power alone.
Rather, the Hollow power given to him by the template system had devoured the power of the Tailed Beast to produce such a change. Originally, Yuichi should have been able to easily grasp the awakened Hollow power. But now, the Hollow that had devoured the Tailed Beast seemed to have produced its own consciousness. It was hidden in Yuichi's body; he tried to mobilize this power, but there was no response. Perhaps, like Ichigo in Bleach, he would have to fight against the Hollow in his body and defeat it before he could use its power.
"Yuichi, are you okay?"
"Yuichi-kun, are you alright?"
Aokiji and Hancock approached Yuichi, inquiring about his condition.
Yuichi looked up at the two of them and nodded. "Don't worry! I'm fine... but... it feels weird right now!"
Aokiji frowned. "Is it because you swallowed that Tailed Beast?"
Swallow?
"Not swallowed, but... absorbed!" Yuichi explained. "I seem to have absorbed that guy into my body!"
Absorbed into the body! If the Tailed Beast was an object of powerful energy, then by absorbing this thing, Yuichi might not be able to use this power at will. Looking at the Tailed Beast Chakra coat covering Yuichi's body, the depth of its color was not on the same level as theirs. At the same time, the appearance was different, and this force was obviously stronger than theirs at a glance.
Waiting for Yuichi to suppress Shukaku's power, Aokiji watched the Tailed Beast Chakra coat disappear and asked, surprised, "Have you been able to control this power freely?"
Hearing this, Yuichi was a little puzzled. "You can't control it?"
Being asked such a rhetorical question, Aokiji smiled embarrassedly. "It is very difficult to control it so freely! Although it is not completely impossible, I still need a long time to fully adapt to this power!"
"Is that so?"
Seeing Yuichi's confused look, Aokiji was speechless. This guy seemed to be saying, 'Does such a simple thing take a long time?'
Suddenly, Aokiji had the urge to punch Yuichi. Since when was it so easy to control an unfamiliar power? How could it be possible to control it easily and freely even though he had only just come into contact with it? If he didn't know Yuichi—and know that this guy didn't bother to show off on purpose—Aokiji would have already thrown a punch.
"I think it's very simple. If you practice more, you should be able to adapt quickly!"
Hearing this, everyone's eyes turned cold. Was this the difference between geniuses and ordinary people?
Very simple? Is it really that simple to control that weird power? Each of them found it incredibly difficult. It took a lot of effort just to mobilize a tiny bit of Chakra from within. Yet this guy kept calling it simple!
Sengoku heard the conversation between Yuichi and Aokiji. Although he didn't understand why Yuichi absorbed that thing into his body, the power didn't disappear; it was passed on to Yuichi. This put Sengoku at ease. As long as the Tailed Beast didn't vanish, it was a good situation. Otherwise, the beast would probably be missed by those old government officials after they returned. It was absolutely impossible for the Marines to hold it in their own hands if the World Government intervened. The current situation was best. The specifics could wait until after the end, when they returned to Naval Headquarters to study it slowly.
Sengoku suddenly raised his head and looked at Onoki on the opposite side. Feeling Sengoku's gaze, Onoki raised his head and looked at him strangely. From their respective positions, they could tell that the other was at the apex of strength in their world. It was a status of equality.
In this situation, the other party suddenly looked at him; he must have something to say! But Onoki felt it was a pity that they couldn't talk, and the person on the opposite side couldn't hear what he said.
But in the next second, Sengoku lowered his head and operated something on the panel in front of him. Immediately afterward, a barrage appeared on the light curtain.
(Sengoku: Information exchange! Want to talk?)
Seeing the message floating out, Onoki was stunned for a moment. There was actually such a way of communication! But people from both sides of the world would see it. The other party said they wanted to exchange information, and he could agree to that.
(Onoki: Yes! What an exchange method!)
As for whether the two sides exchanged real information or not, they both tacitly did not ask. Whether a person of this level was lying could only be known by looking into their eyes, but one shouldn't expect the other party to reveal everything truthfully. Who could get more information depended on their respective schemes.
(Sengoku: One question per person.)
(Onoki: Yes, then...)
(Sengoku: Then let me ask the question first!)
The two were chatting via the barrage, and people in both worlds were a little confused. How did these two reach a consensus so easily? Aren't they afraid that the other party will lie to them?
They wouldn't worry about such a transaction! Neither of them was obviously concerned about that kind of thing.
Ohnoki was speechless seeing the other party's impatient look. 'Seems like a cunning guy, too.'
(Sengoku: Just now, people in your world said that Yuichi became the Perfect Jinchūriki. What is it?)
Seeing this question, Onoki hadn't expected it. It didn't matter if he explained what Jinchūriki meant; Yuichi probably felt it himself anyway.
(Onoki: Jinchūriki is the name of the human host that contains a Tailed Beast. A Perfect Jinchūriki means that the human completely controls the power of the Tailed Beast inside them. There are very few such people. Even in our world, there are very few who can be called a Perfect Jinchūriki!)
