My First Trip To Another World That Lasted One Second

After reading through the entire swords manual, I realized that there is no shortcut in swordsmanship. Every one had their own way of swordsmanship. I began to practice my own swordsmanship. I wandered and stumbled to find my own way of swordsmanship. For the next 10 years I relentlessly practiced my swordsmanship and Tsubame Gaeshi using image training.

I fought with all the swordsmen that wandered into Skypiea by accident or by using the main way to Skypiea.

Soon when I was 19 years old, I broke through to become a sword master. Now I have figured out the Rhythm of the world. My sword can cut iron and yet not cut a leaf. I could cut through a giant warship in a single flying sword slash.

But my ultimate success as a swordsman was the fact that I mastered the legendary technique Tsubame Gaeshi. Which if executed,with luck, may even get under the guard of a sword grandmaster such as Dracule Mihawk. By repeatedly trying to cut a sparrow I finally succeeded in causing a dimensional refraction with my sword technique alone. There is actually no maximum number of refraction that could be caused. But my limit was one now. Meaning I could create two sword strikes in an instant. I caused a space-time refraction just by using my sword.

During this time, I also worked in my forging. Most of the vast of amount metals I bought last time went into research and improving my forging techniques. I finally created a long two handed 5 foot Katana like the one used by Sasaki Kojiro in Fate, as that was the direction my swordsmanship grew into. Whatever you say, you can always see a teacher's shadow in a student's style.

The Katana, I decided was equivalent to a Saijo O Wazamono, a supreme grade sword. From what I understood, Saijo O Wazamono swords were initially swords of O Wazamono grade that got tempered by the powerful haki of the successive great swordsmen of the world. As such they grew to be more powerful than normal O Wazamono swords. But my sword was naturally at the Saijo O Wazamono grade due to the better materials and superior forging techniques of the elves.

Since the time was close to completion of recharging of the Abyss Auction Card. I readied twice as much gold coins. Equivalent of 6 gold pillars worth. I felt guilty plundering the city of gold of the Shandians and swore that this would be the last time I used this gold.

By the time I finished the Auction, I was cursing the rich bastards that took part in the Auction. This time I activated the card while the Abyss Auction just in time for their annual Auction.

There were a lot of rare objects that I could only drool at, and finally after a tough battle, get away with the following things and empty spatial rings of gold coins.

1. 1 cubic KM spatial ring

2. All Speak Language crystals X 10: Helps master one language instantaneously, provided a drop of blood from a master of the language.

3. More rare materials.

4. Space-Time god crystal fragment: a crystal containing the laws of space and time. Which is currently useful to me for meditating on for mastering Tsubume Gaeshi.

5. Tony Stark Engineering Notes: Which while self explanatory, was much more costly than the god crystal fragment, which not many people were intersted in due to the difficulty in mastering space-time laws by simply mastering on, while they could simply buy space-time skillbooks. Damn System Users and Idiots with Gundam dreams.

6. Random World Transfer Orb X 3

7. Home World Transfer Orbs X 3

I decided that I was sufficiently powerful that I decided to take a look at other worlds. If I could not handle the world with my current strength, I will just return here. Any way I had extra Random World Transport Orbs.

I activated one by pressing a button on the surface of the orb. It floated some distance away and in a small explosion of space ripples, created a space crack with its self destruction. Excited, I moved towards it as it would last only for 10 seconds. Just as I put my foot into the space-time crack, something barreled out of it. I was caught off guard and out of balance as a girl with close cropped golden blonde hair holding a sword jumped out from the crack and collided into me. Both of us were dazed for sometime as the crack closed. I recovered quickly as I looked at the girl in my arms. She was thin and bloodied with what looks like whip marks. She had chains attached to her legs which were cut cleanly, by the closing of the space-time crack, I realized. She was dressed in rags. With a sinking heart I concluded that she was an escaped slave.

The girl suddenly leaped away from me pointing her sword at me. I also quickly drew my odachi (Katana longer than 3 shaku length) from my back as I readied myself to face the unknown foe from another world.
