Sengoku and Sakaki moved almost at the same time. They left their seats, quickly chasing after the departing Shikon Jewel fragment.
The Shikon Jewel turned into golden light. Sengoku had vaguely seen this scene before, back in God Valley, when the Shikon Jewel was torn apart by powerful forces, countless fragments split apart like this.
He quickly followed, leaving the ice palace, only to see that golden light plunge directly into the Marine he brought. He and Sakaki exchanged a look, and their brows furrowed at the same time.
"That kid..."
Sakaki said, "Was chosen by the Shikon Jewel."
"Speaking of which, what is the Buddha's Palm?" Sengoku watched the Shikon Jewel fragment as it entered the body of a Marine, a third-class private, a complete newbie.
In fact, that was exactly right, because Sengoku had just invited him to join the Marines. That's Ah Xing!
That's right, the Shikon Jewel fragment entered Ah Xing's body!
"How would I know?" Hearing Sengoku's question, Sakaki said coldly, "That's something you should have noticed. But it's just a systematic training guide for things like the Haki you guys are practicing now."
Seeing that the Shikon Jewel fragment was not out of control, Sakaki turned around. "I will come see you again when the time is right. That will be the final battle. Before that, I don't want to be with you humans."
Sengoku ignored him. They were never on the same side anyway. Spending too much time together might cause this fragile alliance to break down due to different values. It was better to do their own thing first and then join forces when necessary.
They can cooperate better when they have a common enemy.
As Sakaki left, the temperature here gradually rose. Sengoku looked at the commotion in front of him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The Shikon Jewel fragment directly entered Ah Xing's body. He really didn't know what the World Government would say. They obviously wanted the Shikon Jewel fragments, but it seemed that the fragment would not easily leave Ah Xing's body.
Should he keep this a secret?
Impossible. Don't think that there are only Marines here on the surface. In fact, countless CP agents are watching this place. This is another troublesome matter, but at least he doesn't have to worry about it now. Sengoku could only comfort himself like this.
Ah Xing was someone he had specifically invited to join the Marines. He had high hopes for Ah Xing. He was very strong and had good talent.
More importantly, he seemed to have some connection with Indra. As long as he wasn't an evil person in the future, Sengoku would even regard him as the mainstay of the next generation of Marines.
Burning Literature
He has the talent!
And now, the Shikon Jewel fragment's choice has confirmed this. Sengoku walked forward. The Marines were all looking at Ah Xing in surprise. Many people were asking Ah Xing what had happened, but Ah Xing himself seemed confused and didn't seem to know.
When they saw Sengoku walking over, people immediately quieted down. The qualities of soldiers restrained their curiosity.
"Ah Xing, come with me for a bit."
At this moment, Ah Xing's forehead was emitting a little golden light, which was where the Shikon Jewel fragment was embedded. However, the golden light was fading and dimming, until it completely disappeared. The only thing that remained was the boost it gave to his body.
No one was surprised that Sengoku called out Ah Xing's name, after all, they watched the golden light enter Ah Xing's body, something must have happened.
Ah Xing walked towards Sengoku in the eyes of everyone. At this moment, his body had completely recovered.
"How do you feel?"
Sengoku took two steps along the ice palace, and Ah Xing quickly followed. The two of them walked forward as if they were taking a stroll.
Ah Xing said, "Surprisingly good, and I feel like I've entered a higher state, it's very comfortable."
"What entered your body was a Shikon Jewel fragment."
Because Ah Xing had been staying on this island, Sengoku specially explained what a Shikon Jewel was, causing Ah Xing's expression to change slightly.
"It's actually such a precious thing, does Sengoku Admiral want to take it out?"
"You don't have to be so nervous." Sengoku said, "Although this is a very important thing, since it chose you, that means it's fate. I won't let you hand it over."
Ah Xing is a very promising rookie, and Sengoku doesn't want to fall out with him over a Shikon Jewel fragment. He is destined to be a rising star in the Marines!
Ah Xing's expression gradually eased, and he let out a light breath. "Thank you, Sengoku Admiral..."
"I am your superior, this is what I should do." Sengoku said softly, "You have been quietly recovering from your injuries. There is one thing I have not had the chance to ask you."
"You must be talking about the Buddha's Palm." Ah Xing asked, glancing at Sengoku's face
"That's right."
Sengoku's expression was as usual. He knew that this kind of question was usually taboo, like directly asking someone what stage their Haki training had reached or what their Devil Fruit ability was, but now that Ah Xing had decided to join the Marines, he should have this awareness.
If he hadn't joined the Marines, Sengoku wouldn't have asked.
Ah Xing was silent for a moment, continuing to walk alongside Sengoku. He seemed a little hesitant, but looking at Sengoku's figure, he finally said
"Like I said before, this is a secret book I got when I was very young. If you do as the book says, you can get a magical power."
"But only certain people can learn it. I once taught it to my friends when I was a kid, but they didn't change at all."
Just like Sakaki said, it really seems like Haki training?
However, it still needs to be judged.
"Can you let me see that Buddha's Palm?" Sengoku said directly
Because Ah Xing was injured before, Sengoku didn't say these words to him until now.
And Ah Xing nodded very decisively and said "Okay".
Immediately, the aura on his body suddenly changed, instantly making him seem like a tall mountain, vast and broad, as if standing on the edge of the forest looking inside, only feeling Limitless and deep and quiet.
Sengoku narrowed his eyes slightly. He wanted to see what Indra had given. Indra was extremely mysterious, and the Buddha's Palm had some kind of relationship with him. And now it seems that is true.
He only felt that Ah Xing was extremely similar to his Great Buddha form at this moment. As the wind stopped, Ah Xing suddenly swung a palm.
Hearing thunder in silence, Sengoku only felt a sudden explosion in his ears. A huge force was released from Ah Xing's palm, a special Haki-like force spread out, and with a bang, it directly stamped a mark on the ice palace in front.
A...
Huge palm print!
