Chapter 63: Orochimaru's Reckless Charge
With the addition of Haki, Senbonzakura's weaknesses were significantly buffed.
Since Orochimaru's attack was easily blocked by Yuichi, Jiraiya began to panic. He had no free hands to defend himself now, and the Senbonzakura was about to hit him.
"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!!"
A gust of wind swept in from Orochimaru's direction. The instant storm spread and blew away all the Senbonzakura in the blink of an eye. The terrible gale also reached Jiraiya, rolling him into the sky.
Jiraiya, blown away by his ally's technique, was speechless. "Orochimaru... now is not the time to be angry!"
Fortunately, Jiraiya wasn't blown out of the ring and landed steadily. A little shaken, he turned his head and looked three meters behind him. It was the edge of the duel field; once he fell off, he would be eliminated.
At this moment, Jiraiya's hands were clasped together, leaving him unable to perform Ninjutsu hand seals.
Watching his strange movements, the people in the World of Pirates didn't understand what Jiraiya was doing.
Yuichi, however, was very clear. Want to summon the two old toads from Mount Myōboku and enter Sage Mode? It's not that easy!
Boom!
The blown-away Senbonzakura turned into a pink torrent in the blink of an eye, rushing toward Jiraiya like a giant snake.
Hiss...
Just as Senbonzakura was rushing toward Jiraiya, a series of black shadows suddenly appeared, directly intercepting Yuichi's blades. Black snakes fell from the sky, taking countless cuts to their bodies, but blocking the attack.
Yuichi's eyes shifted to Orochimaru on the other side.
Orochimaru looked at Yuichi thoughtfully, his eyes narrowed. He walked toward Yuichi, while Jiraiya jumped behind Orochimaru.
The strategy was obvious. To attack Jiraiya, Yuichi would need to defeat Orochimaru first.
Even Whitebeard, who didn't know exactly what Jiraiya was up to, understood the tactic. "That guy seems to be accumulating power for a powerful move. The opponent must stop him, otherwise... it will be hard to say who wins!"
"That man who looks like a snake doesn't seem easy to deal with! Under his protection, the Marine boy seems to have no way to reach the other one!" Big Mom smiled, looking amused. Although it was a Marine fighting, this battle was between two worlds, so she wasn't worried.
Whitebeard looked at Yuichi. Can you do it, boy?
With Orochimaru standing in front of Jiraiya, everyone in the World of Pirates felt an inexplicable pressure. The ability Yuichi just showed was very strong—he had instantly defeated an enemy—but right now, Jiraiya's tightly clasped hands made them feel very uneasy. The unknown is always scary.
"Want to stop me? It's not that easy."
Boom!
As soon as Yuichi's words fell, two torrents of Senbonzakura crossed paths and swept toward Orochimaru instantly.
The moment the sound of breaking wind reached him, Orochimaru frowned and quickly formed seals. "Earth Style: Mud Wall!"
The raised earthen wall met Senbonzakura's impact, making a piercing roar.
Yuichi narrowed his eyes slightly and raised his hand to control Senbonzakura, bypassing the earth wall in an instant to strangle Orochimaru from behind!
Swish!
Orochimaru leaped into the air. He raised his hand and threw two shuriken, shooting straight at Yuichi.
"Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"
The two shuriken multiplied into hundreds in an instant, raining down on Yuichi.
"Hmph!"
Yuichi raised his hand, and Senbonzakura rolled like a huge wave. Some shuriken were swallowed whole.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The shuriken that were knocked down stuck into the floor.
After Orochimaru landed, a gleam flashed in his eyes. He opened his mouth, and a long sword slowly emerged from his throat. He grasped the hilt.
The Kusanagi Sword...
A wave of Senbonzakura circled in the air... looped back, and headed straight for Orochimaru.
Clang!
Slashing through Yuichi's Senbonzakura impact with one swing of the Kusanagi Sword, Orochimaru turned around and continued to charge Yuichi at high speed.
Yuichi squinted at Orochimaru, who was rushing toward him desperately. He was somewhat surprised. Did this guy figure something out?
Boom! Boom!
Relying on the hardness of the Kusanagi Sword, Orochimaru blocked Senbonzakura's impact, although the blade fragments still left many wounds on his body. But the injured Orochimaru seemed to have no scruples, rushing straight toward Yuichi.
When the distance to Yuichi was less than ten meters—the zone with the largest concentration of Senbonzakura—Yuichi controlled four torrents of blades at the same time, coming to strangle the snake from all angles.
However, Orochimaru didn't seem to have any plans to retreat; he was still actively accelerating!
This kind of behavior baffled the audience from the World of Pirates.
"Is this guy crazy? He's actively bumping into those countless blades. Is he looking for death?"
"Idiots! He wants to go through those countless blade fragments to attack Yuichi at close range!"
"This guy is waiting to be cut into pulp!"
It wasn't just the people of One Piece who couldn't understand Orochimaru's intentions. The ninjas in the Ninja World were also speechless.
"Why rush forward? Isn't it better to use Ninjutsu to attack from a long distance?"
"You still want to fight the enemy in close quarters? Is Sannin Orochimaru crazy?"
Hiss...
Flesh and blood flew everywhere, but Orochimaru's expression remained unchanged. The arm hit by Senbonzakura was stripped to the bone, but he didn't seem to care. There was even a cold smile on his face.
Yuichi frowned. The right hand holding the hilt of his sword tightened, and the Reiatsu in his body exploded!
In an instant, countless pieces of Senbonzakura flew toward Yuichi at high speed. Surrounding the "Hurtless Area," they spun quickly to form a huge sphere of flowers, wrapping Yuichi perfectly inside it.
In the next second, Orochimaru swung his Kusanagi Sword and slashed downward.
Clang!
Sparks flew. Orochimaru didn't expect Yuichi to be able to defend like this. The recoil sent Orochimaru flying back.
Senbonzakura's defensive capabilities left everyone dumbfounded.
Those countless petals, countless blades... someone was stupid enough to choose to go through the torrent of blades to attack Yuichi in melee, which was outrageous enough. But unexpectedly, Yuichi had a way to deal with this situation!
This ability was not only capable of attack but also possessed absolute defense! There was simply no weakness to speak of.
