Learning Fish-Man Karate and Jujutsu
🕑 Added 2025-03-06 02:58:10 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 411 ---
Everyone was speechless.
Honestly, Huo Yuhao's proposal was tempting to Jinbe. After all, he only learned about this "cultivation" thing not too long ago from Rayleigh, and the "divine tool" Huo Yuhao mentioned can't be weak.
It might be equal, if not stronger, than the Ancient Weapons.
Having one would boost the Ryugu Kingdom's power or protect everyone from danger.
Of course, Jinbe made up his mind on this. Only a fool would reject such a proposal.
However, Jinbe was confused. Bluntly speaking, the Fish-Man Karate and Jujutsu shouldn't be that attractive to Huo Yuhao, and he could have learned it from other people.
After all, the practitioners of both arts are widely spread among humans as well.
Of course, Jinbe wouldn't know that Huo Yuhao needed Fish-Man Karate and Jujutsu to enrich his mastery of the Law of Water. He wanted to see if he could incorporate both arts into his Martial Arts.
Huo Yuhao has mastered the martial arts of the White Room, which compresses all of Earth's martial techniques into one ultimate art.
But Earth is Earth.
Tiny World is a different thing.
One couldn't apply one world's rules to another.
The reason White Room's martial arts were strong in Huo Yuhao's hand isn't because they are godly techniques.
White Room's martial arts are strong because Huo Yuhao is strong!
Learning them alone takes time, patience, sweat, and blood.
Huo Yuhao smiled calmly, "So, Jinbe, what do you think?"
"I understand... I will teach you Fish-Man Karate and Jujutsu, Yuhao-dono!" Jinbe answered firmly. As an honorable person, he would teach Huo Yuhao wholeheartedly.
He might even teach Huo Yuhao his secret techniques.
Huo Yuhao nodded, "Good, we can start now."
"Eh?" Jinbe and others were speechless. "But what about the cooperation?" Shyarly nervously asked.
Huo Yuhao waved his hand, "That can wait. Learning new techniques won't take that long."
"I only need you to demonstrate every technique you know, and we can spar a few times after."
Jinbe's mouth twitched. Why did he feel Huo Yuhao was playing around with him?
Still, Jinbe didn't dare to utter his thoughts.
He could only nod and walk to the beach's edge, submerging his feet in seawater. "Then, I will start."
Huo Yuhao sat on a smooth rock not far away and opened his Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao, even using "The End" from the Throne of Beginning and the End.
Hancock was captivated by Huo Yuhao's eyes, with their white specks resembling sparkling stars. She was shocked, realizing a human's eyes shouldn't be so enchanting.
However, she hurriedly shook her head. "Silly Hancock, how can Yuhao-sama be a 'normal' human? He's god! My god!"
Rayleigh solemnly looked at Huo Yuhao's eyes and felt pressure from the deepest part of his soul. It was an instinctual reaction as if he was seeing something much more noble than himself.
He couldn't even complain.
He could only stand there and be in awe.
The same goes for Shakuyaku and Shyarly, especially Shyarly.
Shyarly trembled upon witnessing Huo Yuhao's godly eyes because those eyes were the reason she chose to stop being an oracle.
"How beautiful." She sighed in acceptance.
Meanwhile, Jinbe has entered a "zen" state and looked at the calm but untamed sea silently.
"Fish-Man Karate..."
"One Tile Punch!" He threw a straight punch packed with this weird shock that traveled through the moisture of the water.
BOOM!
Jinbe breathed in and continued, "Ten Tile Punch!"
BOOOOM!
"One Hundred Tile Punch!"
BOOOOOOM!
"One Thousand Tile True Punch!"
BOOOOOOOOM!
"Five Thousand Tile True Punch!"
BOOOOOOOOOM!!
"Seven Thousand Tile Roundhouse Kick!"
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
"Five Thousand Tile Knifehand!"
SWISH! BOOM!
After unleashing those attacks, the surrounding sea area became chaotic, and even the big sea rocks were "completely" pulverized by the power of water.
Even then, Jinbe didn't stop.
Jinbe's eyes dimmed as he shouted, "Arabesque Tile True Punch!"
Unlike the previous loud shock, Jinbe's current technique doesn't cause any spectacular sight, but under Huo Yuhao's eyes, he could see a concentrated "shockwave" travel in the air.
Fifty meters away. A Sea King let out a painful howl as its body caved in unnaturally.
BOOOM!
The Sea King died, washed to the beach by the wave.
Everyone wasn't surprised by Jinbe's power. Although not appearing very often, Jinbe was a well-known figure.
Jinbe closed his eyes and continued, "Yarinami (Spear Wave)!"
"Uchimizu (Water Shot)!"
"Samehada Shotei (Sharkskin Palm Block)!"
"Shark Tile True Punch!"
"Soshark (Rough Shark)!"
Fifteen minutes later, Jinbe exhaled white mist from his mouth and closed his kata "stance" before turning around. "That's all the basic, advanced, and mastered techniques of Fish-Man Karate, Yuhao-dono."
"Do you want me to continue the Fish-Man Jujutsu?"
Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and then answered, "Continue."
Jinbe nodded and regulated his breathing, "Fish-Man Jujutsu, Mizugokoro (Water Heart)."
"Sea Current Lifter!"
"Whirlpool Lifter!"
"Ebb Tide Lifter!"
"Packs of Shark!"
This time, it took Jinbe ten minutes to demonstrate all the Fish-Man Jujutsu he knew.
Jinbe understood that Fish-Man Karate and Jujutsu were more than just techniques; however, the legacy of past masters was lost 'unfortunately' during the "Void Century." As a result, most of these techniques are recreations of the true legacy.
There is nothing Jinbe could do about it.
Huo Yuhao closed his eyes slowly, and Jinbe's images flashed quickly like raindrops, falling to his Spiritual Sea (World). Everyone was quiet, not wanting to disturb Huo Yuhao's concentration.
Huo Yuhao suddenly opened his eyes and walked to the beach, removing his shoes and allowing the seawater to touch his bare feet.
Jinbe observed Huo Yuhao and noticed a few ripples on the seawater near Huo Yuhao's feet.
"No way!" His eyes widened, and his jaws dropped in disbelief.
"..." Rayleigh's face twitched.
"How could this be..." Shyarly, as a mermaid, knew how difficult it was to master Fish-Man Karate.
"Well, it's a surprise." Shakuyaku giggled.
"Yuhao-sama!" Hancock cheered excitedly.
Huo Yuhao breathed in and out, staring at the sea silently.
"The principle behind Fishman Karate is the manipulation of water in the user's environment, utilizing the moisture in the air, water around them, and even the water inside other living beings to enhance their attacks, essentially making the sea itself a powerful weapon at their disposal; this is achieved through mastery of the surrounding water, allowing them to use it as a force multiplier in combat."
"Everything around us contains water. As long as there is moisture, Fish-Man Karate is a strong martial art. Fish-Man Jujutsu is similar but focuses more on throwing and grappling moves."
"Thank you, Jinbe, you opened my eyes to many things."
"Maybe because of a certain "Sea God" that I become wary of water-related techniques."
"And that's just arrogance."
"But now? I understood more about the way of the water."
After observing Jinbe, Huo Yuhao actually discovered the principles of Fish-Man Karate and Jujutsu 'awkwardly' familiar.
It's none other than the Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves.
The "waves" in this technique also used movement, shock, torque, and fluidity.
Although the [Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves] is more profound, the Fish-Man Karate diverged and incorporated water manipulation instead of pure control.
"Jinbe, what do you think of this Fist Technique?" Huo Yuhao said to the Knight of the Sea.
Under Jinbe's serious expression, Huo Yuhao threw a straight punch and caused several echoes to reverberate in the area.
Then, the ripple in seawater exploded.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!!
"This is..."
"Using joints in the body to gather momentum and create "shock" in the form of echo?"
"Such an ingenious idea."
Huo Yuhao smiled, "This Fist Technique is called Penetrating Fist."
"The complete mastery of this technique is to generate nine echoes."
"But as you can hear and see, I generate more than that."
"Now, what do you think of this?" Huo Yuhao entered Fish-Man Karate's stance and punched out.
"Fish-Man Karate - Shark Tile True Punch!"
A white shark appeared from thin air, blasting forward with an intense momentum.
BOOOOOM!
"As expected, you mastered Fish-Man Karate after seeing it once." Jinbe sighed in helplessness.
"More than that." Huo Yuhao replied calmly.
"Now, I will show you the combination of Penetrating Fist's concept and Fish-Man Karate. It will enhance the destruction force by another level."
Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and opened them gently, seemingly gathering enough "momentum" in his body before throwing a straightforward punch at visible speed.
Silence filled the area, and then thundering echoes appeared
Pa! Pa! Pa!
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
The seawater before Huo Yuhao parted into two, revealing the grounds below.
"Amazing..."
"Not yet." Huo Yuhao commented with a smirk.
Far ahead, the "shock" has traveled through water and reached another small island a kilometer away.
KABOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
The island exploded and spread white dust everywhere.
"..." Jinbe's eyes widened.
