"Do you know?"

In fact, the Ten Thousand Heaven Flower technique was the vision element of the Open Ship's Key.

It meant "original," older than the Dangga, and it was a fact not many modern martial arts readers knew.

He didn’t learn this because he particularly wanted to know.

It was simply...

* "Ihan, Dangga has no foundation, no foundation!"

It was useless information he learned thanks to Dogo, who had always been deeply passionate about martial arts.

It seemed like his state wasn’t entirely intact either.
