Aboard the returning ship, Jaden sat on the bed in his private room.
He didn't turn on the lights; the only illumination in the room came from the faint light shining through the narrow window outside, and he sat in this soft light with his eyes closed.
He was as if in meditation.
But in reality, if you were to enter his perspective, you would find that in his consciousness, he was standing in a completely black space, confronting a thin, bony, dried-up old man.
-That person was Kaku Kaiou.
Before, Jaden had too few impressions of Kaku Kaiou, so he couldn't materialize a complete Kaku Kaiou using imagination. But with the acquisition of his Deflection, Jaden's impression of Kaku Kaiou was much more complete.
Attacking by relying on Releasing Force and defending by relying on Deflection.
Normally, that was Kaku Kaiou.
After all, the current him was not like his younger self; his physical fitness had declined too much, and maintaining Deflection and Releasing Force was essential.
However...
This Kaku Kaiou still had a gap compared to the true Kaku Kaiou.
He was indeed practicing his boxing style, and he had indeed reached a level that could be called monstrous.
But...
He was still missing something!
So, Jaden was now continuously simulating Kaku Kaiou with his imagination, constantly perfecting his image, and digging deeper again and again...
Finally, Jaden opened his eyes!
As he opened his eyes, Kaku Kaiou, sitting in a wheelchair, appeared in the empty space opposite him!
Then, countless phantom images of Kaku Kaiou emerged from behind the figure, one after another, merging into this Kaku Kaiou's body!
Undoubtedly.
The Kaku Kaiou Jaden was now facing had entered his complete form!
Jaden, realizing this, didn't care that he was on a ship and immediately threw a punch toward Kaku Kaiou's face!
If it were the Kaku Kaiou he had imagined before, at Jaden's current punching speed and force, he would likely be knocked into the wall with a single blow!
But as Jaden's fist landed on the opponent's face, the old man's sunglasses on his face directly came off and hung on Jaden's hand.
And he himself did not seem to have successfully deflected the force; instead, he retreated significantly-the wheelchair even hit the wall and then bounced back to its original position.
Kaku Kaiou himself arched backward in mid-air, spun, and finally stepped on the wall with his feet before jumping back onto his wheelchair.
This scene made Jaden's eyes widen.
It looked like Kaku Kaiou's Deflection movement was quite large, seemingly an indication of poor skill.
But in reality, what Kaku Kaiou used now was the complete form of Deflection!
The one Jaden had used before, or the one he taught Oogami Sakura, was actually the precursor to Kami-e (Paper Arts) and Tekkai (Iron Mass), combined with Releasing Force (Releasing Force), it was Jaden's Deflection-an incomplete Deflection.
In other words, the force was not completely canceled out; only a large part of it was deflected.
The remaining part was resisted by his body's toughness, or canceled out by using the incomplete Tekkai (Iron Mass) activated by the Releasing Force state achieved through Deflection.
This kind of Deflection seems more impressive because the opponent's attack lands on you, and you don't even move, yet the opponent's attack is ineffective.
But in reality, this is the manifestation of its incompleteness.
It is also a technique with a threshold!
It has high requirements for physique and reaction speed.
And the kind of Deflection Kaku Kaiou used, which made him seem like a feather, is actually the complete form of Deflection!
Because this Deflection can completely unload the force, and can even turn the opponent's attacking force into its own force while unloading it-and this Deflection, as long as there is enough space, enough combat experience, and you immerse yourself deeply enough, will not fail to activate!
If Oogami Sakura had mastered this complete Deflection, she wouldn't have been beaten into having no ability to fight back when confronting Gensai Kuroki.
Because this is a technique that cannot be predicted by Sen no Sen (Pre-Initiative), or even if you predict it, it is useless.
It is a true martial art, or self-defense technique, that can be used by even the elderly and children to confront the strong!
"It's quite marvelous, isn't it~"
Kaku Kaiou smiled and slowly spoke.
Marvelous?
Is this marvelous?
-Not at all!
Even before Jaden acquired Kaku Kaiou's Deflection, it wouldn't have been difficult for him to research such a Deflection technique.
Reaching Kaku Kaiou's level of control might be a little harder, but it wouldn't take too long, maybe just a few years.
Drawing the skill merely saved him effort.
That's all.
Therefore, what Jaden needed from the start was not Kaku Kaiou's Deflection.
But the something even more special that Hanma Yujiro had specifically mentioned to him, and that he had discovered in his imaginative simulation concerning Kaku Kaiou!
Thinking of this scene, Jaden did not reply to Kaku Kaiou's question but simply raised his fist high.
In that instant, Jaden's arm muscles bulged, veins protruding!
The exposed muscles on his arm looked as if they were cast in steel, distinct and brimming with power!
Bang!
Jaden's fist slammed out again, landing once more on Kaku Kaiou's face!
This time, Jaden's punch force was directed upward. As Kaku Kaiou was struck into the air, Jaden stretched out his hands, grabbed Kaku Kaiou's head and leg, and started spinning him like a pinwheel!
Kaku Kaiou was spun into a pinwheel.
But even so, when he landed after spinning for a while, he still landed on his feet, and his hands still maintained a raised posture.
Only, blood was flowing from his eye corners, ears, mouth corners, and nose, and his eyes were misaligned, indicating that his brain had not yet recovered!
Facing such a Kaku Kaiou, Jaden didn't hesitate, stepping forward and raising his fist again.
At this moment, Kaku Kaiou's mind must be empty.
He probably saw the entire world as twisted, and his brain might not even be able to issue any commands!
Therefore...
-If he didn't see anything, this strike would end it!
Jaden threw his punch with this thought. Just as his fist landed on Kaku Kaiou's face, a rapid sequence of twelve strikes-Kaku Kaiou's Twelve Strikes-landed on Jaden before he could even react!
Kaku Kaiou himself was hit squarely in the face by Jaden's fist. He flipped backward a few more times, then twisted all of Jaden's force into his feet and landed a kick on Jaden's chin!
Having done all this, Kaku Kaiou landed again.
Blood was still flowing, but he also restored his eyes to a forward-looking state while waving his hands.
Jaden, who had taken thirteen consecutive strikes, wiped the blood away and then raised the corner of his mouth.
Kaku Kaiou's attack was not useless on him; it was useful, but not completely useful!
Jaden's current physical fitness could be said to be that of a primitive man with the strongest Hanma blood, further enhanced by Jack's desperate training-it could also be called the ultimate Frankenstein's monster!
His physical fitness was considerably stronger than Hanma Yujiro's.
Kaku Kaiou's attack landing on Jaden's body did not have a particularly large effect, at least not enough to hinder his fighting.
Especially Kaku Kaiou's final kick.
Jaden had already reacted when the opponent threw that kick and instinctively used Tekkai (Iron Mass), so it could be said that Kaku Kaiou's heaviest strike was completely ineffective.
But Kaku Kaiou's previous twelve strikes did have an effect, and that was the part Jaden was truly interested in!
The attack that landed when the opponent was completely unprepared, defenseless, and whose state shouldn't even allow him to strike, but yet he did!
And the defense that used Deflection even though the brain might have lost the ability to issue commands, and even counterattacked using Deflection!
This is what Jaden was interested in!
This was not something on the level of Gensai Kuroki's Void... but rather, if one had to say, something like Jack Hanma's World's Strongest Middle Finger... Instinct!
And for Kaku Kaiou, it should be-attack and defense with techniques integrated into instinct!
It could also be called: Attack and Defense from Martial Arts Itself!
