The boy fired an air blade right towards Sasaki, though not intending to try and injure him but rather to destroy the ceiling upon them. The man before him has seemly reacted too quickly that just a simple straight-forward attack would not work. His reaction reminded the boy of how Katakuri did so as well, reacting to attacks with split seconds decisions; from dodging the last second swerve by Katakuri and now dodging the air blade the moment it fires by Sasaki. It isn’t a Devil Fruit power. That much is certain. Sasaki and Katakuri has something else that the boy hasn’t figure out yet. Though without fighting in a close combat, the boy could only surmise any thoughts he had. As he thinks through his thoughts, Sasaki would eventually take on the air blade, using his own powers to quickly stop the projectile dead on track before destroying with equal power.
But soon, the air around Akira’s vision start to swerve and wave. Multiple clones of Sasaki would start to manifest, there are now five of him though in various different ‘types’. Three of himself would stood by the ground whilst the last two would seemly blocked the exit upwards. Sasaki would finally respond to the boy’s silence, warning him as he gave him the last chance to answer his questions before the situation escalates out of control.
“….!”
However, the boy remains firm, no matter what tricks Sasaki is pulling, he would not allow the man to stop him, a sigh of breath as he peers into each of the Sasaki(s). His plans were his own. It is personal to him. A secret though apparently known by someone else – kept to his heart. He has no intention of telling Sasaki anything. His heart already set in stone. The boy would only coldly respond. An answer that Sasaki would not prefer given his unwillingness to fight if he could.
“It is none of your business.”
A rejection to the demand for answer. Yet looking beyond his words are breaks to his secret. The boy has another agenda, that much could possibly be garnered from his words as otherwise he would have already given a clear answer to Sasaki. But that motive is different from what Sasaki have so far figured, the marine is not privy to Akira’s motives. With the two Sasaki’s now blocking his way up, the boy would have to break through whatever Sasaki is cooking up. An optical illusion of sorts. The boy wasn’t sure if these clones possessed a physical body or they were just illusion – not only that there is no guarantee that the ‘normal’ version of Sasaki is even real, that he could be hiding behind in disguise as one of the other clone or simply invisible. The air is likely the factor into these clones as the wavy-like nature in the air. The boy would finally jump forward, his blade positions to the edge of his left side in mid-air as he readies to swing his weapon. And then, Akira jumped just a metre in front of the three clones, and he wildly swung his blade around him – like a sword dance.
Using erratic swinging with the combination of normal swings and creating a very thin air blade, difficult to immediately see. The boy would create both an offensive and defensive manoeuvre as air blades and normal swings would swing in all directions around him. Aiming to cut the three Sasaki(s) on the ground as for each swing that Akira did, his blade continues to glow bright blue, smoke emitting out of it as tiny black wisp of energies dances around the air blades that Akira fires. The boy would continue to make a few more small jumps forward, swinging around haphazardly while still maintain a certain amount of elegance in his movements before he would make the last few jumps upwards towards the two airborne Sasaki’s, aiming to cut them down if not force them away from the exit. The last jump into a swing however, the boy generated even more air blades to his finish, making it even harder to catch the boy at the end of his attacks. Should Akira be able to drive the Sasaki(s) away, he would quickly jump up towards the next floor.
Name: Autumn’s Dance
Rank: S
Description: The user jumps as he swings his sword around him horizontally in several arcs, combining both normal swings and thin air blades (See Autumn’s Reach) to achieve multiple attacks in a single jump. Each swing of his sword as well as firing an air blade are erratic and random, thus making it harder to define the range of the attack to dodge. The motion of the swing as well as the air blades are enough to cover the user’s back with a couple of swings as well – allowing the user to both attack and defend at the same time. This would continue into several smaller jumps and even flips into the user as the user continues to swing – until the user stops into one last set of swings and air blades, and then finishing the move with several air blades around the user with the final swing. A technique most suited for dealing with a group of enemies. [Pic 1] (91 Strength, 91 Shuurin)
Name: Autumn's Reach
Rank: B
Description: By using air blade in such a concentrated and thin manner, the user is able to lengthened the swings of his katana by several meters, thus increasing the range of his strikes. [Pic 1] (51 Shuurin, 51 Strength)

While using such powerful moves, Akira did not intend to destroy the whole Chateau, thus his attacks are fairly limited in range and actual destruction. The boy intends to simply get away, though it may not be possible. But, this is Whole Cake Island – creating chaos would likely turn the whole situation around if more of Big Mom Pirates arrive to this location, such noises should eventually attract those attention. If the Poneglyph is truly here as Bartholomew Kuma have sent to, then there must be people guarding it.
