Chapter 213: The Collision of Kidō and Ninjutsu, The Perfect Opponent
"He... agreed?"
A Marine soldier looked at Yuichi with complicated eyes and turned to his friend. "Did I hear that wrong?"
His friend shook his head. "No! He did agree!"
"Why agree to such a fighting method? Using Haki against a Ninja's Ninjutsu... isn't this asking for trouble?"
"Who knows! Maybe he thinks Haki can block all the enemy's Ninjutsu attacks!"
Although Haki was strong, veterans of the previous war knew that while Haki might win in pure destructive or defensive power, it struggled against high-level Ninjutsu. Marine Vice Admirals had tested this; Haki alone could not easily block Chakra transformed into fire, lightning, or wind. Once Chakra changed nature, its destructive power underwent a qualitative change.
Madara heard the muttering. He squinted at Yuichi. "If your world doesn't have a power system like Ninjutsu, you don't have to agree. We can find another way..."
"No! Just because these people can't do it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist!" Yuichi smiled.
He raised his fingertip and aimed instantly at Madara.
"Hadō #1. Shō (Thrust)!"
In an instant, a small shock wave burst from Yuichi's fingertip and rushed toward Madara. Madara's pupils shrank slightly, and he tilted his head. The wave swept past his face like a breeze.
Madara was surprised. Can he launch this kind of attack just by pointing a finger? Not bad! This trick seems more convenient than Ninjutsu!
"Wow! I didn't expect there to be a power like Ninjutsu here! Very good, let's see who is stronger!"
Madara became serious and raised his hands to form seals. The spectators were dumbfounded. Even Whitebeard was surprised. What kind of trick was that? There was no Haki surge, yet a shock wave burst forth.
Can Haki really change into various powers like Chakra? The Four Emperors had never heard of Haki being used this way.
"Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation (Gōka Mekkyaku)!"
Boom boom boom...
The flames spewing from Madara's mouth instantly spread, turning into a terrifying sea of fire that attacked Yuichi madly.
For the people of the Pirate World, this Ninjutsu felt incredibly strong. For the Ninjas, seeing Madara turn a B-rank technique into something comparable to an S-rank jutsu was terrifying.
However, before they could recover from the shock, Yuichi's voice sounded.
"Ye Lord! Mask of flesh and bone, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Truth and temperance, upon this sinless wall of dreams unleash but slightly the wrath of your claws!"
"Hadō #31. Shakkahō (Red Fire Cannon)!"
Yuichi chanted loudly. Just as the flames were about to reach him, he pointed his right palm at Madara.
A crimson flame erupted instantly, and a two-meter-wide fireball was launched. Although Yuichi's attack range was far smaller than Madara's sea of fire, the power of the Red Fire Cannon instantly blasted a path through the center of the flames, heading straight for Madara.
Madara's face became even more excited.
That chanting! Is that the prerequisite for releasing this blow? Interesting. Ninjutsu requires seals, and this world's tricks require chanting! Although the methods differ, the principle is likely the same: guiding the energy in the body to change form!
Madara didn't delay. "Earth Style: Mud Wall!"
A wall of earth appeared in front of Madara. The Red Fire Cannon bombarded it, blasting a huge hole but not completely breaking through.
After blocking the attack, the earth wall disappeared. Yuichi's voice sounded again.
"Ye Lord! Mask of flesh and bone, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Truth and temperance, upon this sinless wall of dreams unleash but slightly the wrath of your claws!"
"Hadō #73. Sōren Sōkatsui (Twin Lotus Blue Fire, Crash Down)!"
Thunderous sound erupted from Yuichi's right palm. This time, blue flames flickered like lightning in the air, flying toward Madara like silver snakes.
Madara felt strange. This attack... it's not quite Fire Style, nor Lightning Style! It's like a Bloodline Limit!
"Earth Style: Earth Dragon Bullet!"
A mass of mud appeared beneath Madara's feet, and earthen dragons burst out, hitting Yuichi's blue flames. A roar erupted as the attacks canceled each other out.
Madara looked at Yuichi in amazement. "To be able to compete with me in Ninjutsu... no one in my world can do this! Even Hashirama can only use Wood Style against me! You are a perfect opponent!"
Yuichi replied, "You are also very good. I chanted Hadō with all my strength, yet I couldn't do anything to you!"
Madara frowned. "Is the ability you used just now called Hadō?"
"To be precise, it is called Kidō. Kidō is divided into Hadō (Way of Destruction), Bakudō (Way of Binding), and Kaidō (Way of Healing)."
Madara laughed. "It's similar to Ninjutsu, which is divided into Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu!"
As they discussed, Whitebeard looked at Yuichi as if he were seeing a ghost. Kaido and the others wore similar expressions.
Marco broke out in a cold sweat. "Pops... Yuichi's trick? Could it be..."
Shanks helped him finish the thought. "This guy... developed his own 'Ninjutsu' for our world! If a powerful person is worthy of fear, then a person who can create a new power system is worthy of awe."
Big Mom added, "He is far better than I imagined... to use Haki like this! Although the power doesn't seem overwhelming yet, such long-distance combat ability may turn the tide of battle."
