-Six months later/2007-
Six months passed quickly without Onoki noticing it, while his strength was increasing little by little the time became insignificant to him.
After learning everything he needed about nuclear physics and quantum mechanics Onoki no longer needed Professor Christophe so with one attack there was no trace of the entire island left.
Now Onoki was swimming across the North Atlantic Ocean towards the African continent, this was a training for his body.
However, what he did not expect was the number of cursed spirits in the sea.
Along the way Onoki killed three first grade cursed spirits , all of whom had a cursed technique involving controlling water.
"Although the fear of the sea or drowning is one of humanity's main fears, there are many cursed spirits in the middle of the sea, there shouldn't be so much cursed energy in the middle of the sea for such an amount of cursed spirits to be born." Onoki felt puzzled as to why, but that feeling was immediately replaced with caution.
Deep beneath the surface of the sea, Onoki could sense the massive cursed energy moving rapidly, although Onoki couldn't see where it came from, he could tell which direction it was moving in.
Onoki could tell without a doubt that it was a special grade cursed spirit.
"Well, I didn't expect this, but I can test my new techniques with you." Onoki said and prepared to fight.
However, the next moment, the cursed energy he felt seemed to disappear from existence.
"You can hide yourself, that's good." Onoki didn't lower his guard, but rather increased his sense of anticipation.
Suddenly the previously calm sea began to become rough, the ocean currents began to churn and giant waves formed in seconds.
Even the winds responded to the sea and storms began to form on the surface of the sea.
"It seems you are no newly born cursed spirit" Onoki commented as he emerged from the sea and floated in the air, the view of the sea now did not match its appearance just a few minutes ago.
*Swoosh*Swoosh*Swoosh*
Instantly, dozens of compressed water missiles were fired towards Onoki, these missiles were compressed water currents the size of a finger, if one of them hit Onoki it would surely pierce his body.
There was no time to dodge and the water missiles arrived in front of Onoki in an instant with that, walls of white light formed to repel the attack in front of him.
[Dust Release: Atomic Wall]
"You have to do better than that if you want to hit me or your attacks" Onoki said lightly, however, that attack was about to hit him if it weren't for his quick reaction.
Onoki had underestimated this cursed spirit and was about to face the consequences of that, at this moment his expression became serious, he was going to take this battle seriously.
[Dust Release: Primordial World Separation Technique]
A cone formed between Onoki's hands and instantly swelled hundreds of meters towards the sea. Onoki couldn't sense the location of the cursed spirit so he decided to attack randomly.
Onoki dodged hundreds of water currents coming his way while randomly attacking the sea below him using Dust Release. However, there was no effect.
After a while, Onoki decided to change his approach and dived into the sea below him.
Although he was close to the surface, he felt the pressure as if he was hundreds of meters below the surface of the sea. Onoki instantly encased himself in a ball of atomic walls.
None of the attacks could penetrate Onoki's defense so he slowly dived under the sea's surface. However, he couldn't find any trace of the cursed spirit anywhere.
Onoki immediately returned to the surface and rose into the air, out of the range of the cursed spirit's attack.
"Even after I looked , I couldn't find it at all, I can not even sense his cursed energy" Onoki said as he looked at the raging sea below.
"Could it be…" At that moment, Onoki could guess why he couldn't find the cursed spirit.
"Although I could get it out this way, it would consume a lot of my cursed energy," Onoki thought and decided to try his idea.
He avoided the attacks coming from every direction and flew to the surface of the sea again, but this time he didn't dive in, but made sure that his hands only touched the surface of the water.
[Earth Release: Ultra-Light Rock Technique]
Instantly, Onoki felt his cursed energy being rapidly drained and in an instant it spread across the sea in all directions, slowly the ocean water began to rise into the air, separated from the rest of the ocean.
In the blink of an eye there was a massive area of water floating in the air, the water was turbulent and twisting uncontrollably but under Onoki's control it continued to rise into the air.
"At first I thought you were hiding your cursed energy very well, however after seeing the extent of the Raging Sea I guessed that you had somehow merged with the sea, that way I couldn't find you and I couldn't hit you with my attacks." Onoki said in a loud voice.
"But now that I've separated the Raging Sea from the rest of the ocean, you won't have anywhere to escape to." Hearing Onoki's words, the water currents twisted violently and tried to reach the sea below.
Unfortunately, under the influence of the Light Rock Technique, the water only continued to rise in the air.

Onoki fired several attacks one after another, each one wiping out a portion of the seawater.
Onoki avoided the raging sea currents that were coming his way and made sure to wipe them all away without allowing a single drop to fall to the bottom.
Since the cursed spirit could merge with the water, he couldn't let a single drop fall.
The balance of the battle tilted in Onoki's direction as he seemed to be about to end the battle, however, the next moment, a new change occurred.
The water began to gather together into a single form, taking the form of a giant sea serpent, at least a hundred meters long with bright blue scales like skin, there were fins pointing out from its head as it roared at Onoki.
Although the cursed spirit didn't speak any human language, Onoki could understand what it was saying.
"You will die today at the hands of the Sea Emperor Leviathan."
A vortex of water formed in its mouth like a sharp blade and shot towards Onoki.
A molecular wall was immediately formed to defend the attack, however, the raging water vortex passed through the molecular wall as if it didn't exist and landed on Onoki.
Onoki was sent flying down into the ocean and was caught by the cursed spirit's jaws and dived into the depths of the black ocean.
The ocean waters settled and the raging waves subsided and the scene became as if nothing had happened before.
Suddenly, a light flashed in the depths of the ocean followed by a ripple and an explosion that lifted the sea water high into the sky.
The sea rippled and huge waves formed as the explosion wave traveled in every direction.
High in the sky stood Onoki with a bloodied body, his right arm and part of his abdomen were rapidly regenerating and the wounds was closed in seconds
"That bastard Leviathan tried to pull me into his range, luckily I was able to react in time and escape, he wouldn't be safe from that attack since I blew it up so close, now I have to finish what I started before that explosion attracts any one" Onoki said as he quickly flew away.
"Who would have thought that he would be able to withstand a dust bomb face to face" Onoki said.
This was the first time he used his new technique and he took it full effect, luckily he was able to survive thanks to the Reverse Curse Technique.
"If I had stopped healing myself for a second there I would have surely died" Onoki said and dived deep into the sea again.
After several explosions and bright lights from under the sea, Onoki returned again with his arm missing but this time there was a white cube in front of him filled with water.
"I got you, you bastard"
