Kenjutsu
Bakuretsuyo-ryu is a style of swordsmanship developed by an unnamed island in the East Blue, developed in a failed attempt to incorporate the the style of martial arts. Upon its initial creation years ago, there had been a sole user, one who can be said to have been the only master of this style of swordsmanship. This master, the creator of this sword style, hadn’t been able to successfully merge Hasshoken with this style of Kenjutsu, but resulted in Bakuretsuyo-ryu’s most profound ability; Shifting Explosions.

This new ability, able to be accessed by the practitioners of this Kenjutsu style, was a rather remarkable ability. It allowed them not only to create flying slashes that could explode at the practitioners whim, it allowed them to create explosions at a location a distance away from the user. These Shifting Explosions became the main catalyst for many of the techniques in the Bakuretsuyo-ryu style of Kenjutsu, using them for mainly offensive purposes. To the practitioners of this Kenjutsu style, the best defence was simply more offence. As time progressed, another swordsman of the same caliber as the creator of the Bakuretsuyo-ryu tried to incorporate the of the  style of superhuman martial arts. Unlike the first failed attempt of incorporating a martial art into Kenjutsu, this was actually successful to a certain degree. This resulted in another branch of techniques to be spawned into the Bakuretsuyo-ryu style of Kenjutsu, evolving the concept of the Shifting Explosions.

As shown with the attempts of incorporating other forms of combat into Kenjutsu, it is clear to see that practitioners of the Bakuretsuyo-ryu style of Kenjutsu are omnivorous in nature. They are quick to adapt, and will take whatever strengths they can find in others and incorporate it into the Bakuretsuyo-ryu style of martial arts. This is the reason why practitioners of this Kenjutsu are occasionally referred to as Crows. This style of Kenjutsu requires the practitioners to have superhuman speed, durability and the ability to maintain their calm under anything. To trigger the Shifting Explosions, one requires great speed and the durability to easily handle and brush off the recoil from such a powerful slash.

And now, the honour of being called a master of the Bakuretsuyo-ryu style of Kenjutsu has fallen on the shoulders of Fuse. The swordsman has completely mastered the concepts and actions behind the Shifting Explosions, able to quickly close in on an opponent after he has started to attack. Fuse’s speed is not only physical, it is also mental. This means that he is able to formulate plans of attacks with ease, all in the span of a few seconds. With years and years of combat under Fuse’s belt, his battle instinct has evolved into something far greater; intuition. Even without the usage of Kenbunshoku Haki, he can determine the most probable pattern of movement from his opponent by reading their body language. This goes in tandem with his Bakuretsuyo-ryu style of Kenjutsu, as it allows him to determine where to place the explosions.

Fuse’s durability comes from his years of training, dealing with the backlash of such physically demanding style of Kenjutsu. For every time he had made a mistake, more than likely his explosions had affected him. Having to have dealt with countless of those, he is able to brush off most attacks of a similar or lower magnitude, as seen when when he ???.
