Chapter 147 - Chapter 147: The Excited Tashigi

After examining all three items, Amon set them down.

"Mr. Amon, what did I get?"

The moment Amon lowered the last item, the little girl could not hold herself back and hurried over to ask.

She had just noticed that two of them seemed to be weapons. For a swordsman, a good blade was always something worth longing for.

Amon laughed. "Your luck is really good. All three items are very suitable for you."

"Really? That's wonderful!"

Tashigi's face lit up with joy

"Yes. In fact, even I feel a little envious of those two weapons. But let's talk about the other item first."

"This one is actually even more valuable than both swords."

As he spoke, Amon picked up the LV6 Swordsmanship Insights.

"This is a swordsmanship insight manual. It's extremely precious. As long as you can fully absorb the mysteries inside, you'll be able to become a powerful woman swordsman."

"Swordsmanship insights?"

Tashigi looked confused by the explanation.

"Yes, swordsmanship insights. And very powerful ones at that. Just place it in your palm and say you want to use it, and you'll directly learn everything inside."

As for something like "insights," even Amon did not know how to explain it properly, so he decided it would be easier to let her use it first.

The system's learning method was simple. There was no actual study process at all. You just said "use," and that was enough.

Tashigi was still confused, but she obediently followed Amon's instructions.

She placed the swordsmanship insights in her palm and softly said she wanted to use it. The book-like item immediately turned into a streak of light and flowed into her body.

In the next instant, Tashigi felt a vast flood of information appear in her mind.

All of it was made up of swordsmanship knowledge and experience.

As that huge wave of insights poured into her, she felt her understanding of the sword rise again and again.

Her swordsmanship had only just entered the beginner stage before this, but after receiving that infusion of knowledge, she experienced a leap so great it felt almost unbelievable.

"Hah!"

After absorbing the swordsmanship insights, Tashigi instinctively drew the sword in her hand.

The moment she did, an invisible sword aura burst from the blade and slashed toward the building nearby.

A flash of white passed through the air.

The house in front of them was cut cleanly in half.

"Woah!"

Smoker stared at the result of Tashigi's draw, his face filled with shock.

There were quite a few skilled swordsmen in the Marines, but very few who could produce sword aura.

Even ten years later, Zoro had only learned to unleash flying slashes after receiving training from Hawkeye Mihawk.

And yet now, Tashigi had only opened a Jar and used one set of swordsmanship insights, and she had already become this strong.

When Amon had called it a powerful swordsmanship insight before, none of them had truly grasped what that meant.

Now they understood.

If someone as strong as Amon described it as powerful, then it definitely was not just talk.

"So strong!"

Tashigi herself had not expected that a simple draw of her sword would produce such a terrifying result.

She was completely stunned.

Even so, that sword aura could have been even stronger.

The only reason it was limited to this was that her own strength was still not enough. After splitting the house in half, the energy of the slash had already been exhausted.

If it had been the sword aura of someone like Mihawk or Koushirou, then Loguetown itself might have been cut apart.

As for Amon, there was no need to even mention him.

A full-force strike from him could sever hundreds of km of flowing water and raise waves over a hundred feet high.

"Tashigi, your current strength still isn't enough. Otherwise, that sword aura would have been even stronger. So work hard. I hope that one day, I'll hear your name as a great swordsman spread across the seas."

"It can get even stronger?"

The little girl had already thought this was incredible. Hearing Amon say it could become even stronger made her eyes shine.

She sheathed her sword again and nodded heavily.

"Yes. I will remember your teachings, Mr. Amon. One day, I'll definitely make the name of a great swordsman spread across the seas!"

The LV6 Swordsmanship Insights had raised her swordsmanship realm at astonishing speed. As long as she continued to train diligently, becoming a great swordsman was only a matter of time.

"Of course it can get stronger. And speaking of that, it's about time you changed your weapons too."

Once Tashigi put away her current swords, Amon took out Cross Slash Blade and Cross Slash Blade: Zhen.

"These two weapons are called Cross Slash Blade: Shiro and Cross Slash Blade: Kiro. They're both extremely powerful. Not only are they unbelievably sharp and capable of cutting through anything, they also come with their own built-in skills."

"Let's talk about Cross Slash Blade: Shiro first."

As he spoke, Amon drew Shiro from its sheath.

"This is an incredibly powerful weapon. It's much stronger than one of the Twelve Supreme Grade Blades, because it comes with a skill called Triple Slash."

"Triple Slash is a sword technique that allows the user to unleash three forward slashes in rapid succession. Each strike is stronger than the one before it, and after the third slash is completed, it also triggers an explosion. Its power is extremely great."

As Tashigi listened to Amon's explanation, her entire gaze became fixed on Shiro.

"Stronger than one of the Twelve Supreme Grade Blades?!"

The Twelve Supreme Grade Blades were recognized throughout the world as the highest class of swords, unmatched in sharpness and durability.

Tashigi had never imagined that she would one day draw a weapon even stronger than one of the Twelve Supreme Grade Blades.

It felt like a dream.

Her whole body felt light and unsteady.

For a swordsman, a fine blade was of utmost importance.

The Twelve Supreme Grade Blades were all held by the greatest masters of swordsmanship.

For example, Mihawk's Black Blade Yoru was one of the Twelve Supreme Grade Blades.

So when Tashigi heard that her new weapon was actually even stronger than one of the Twelve Supreme Grade Blades, she was so excited she did not know how to express it.

"Yes, stronger than one of the Twelve Supreme Grade Blades."

"Try it for yourself, and you'll understand."

Seeing the disbelief on Tashigi's face, Amon smiled and handed Shiro over to her.
