Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 269 Kozuki Oden
Lu Chen stopped Sheng Kai from harassing others, and the three of them began to walk towards a place where there were not many people.

As we were walking around, we came to a tombstone with the inscription "This is the tomb of the dragon-slaying warrior Ryuma".

A long sword, the sword of the warrior Ryoma, was stuck in the tombstone. It seemed that it was this sword that was attracting the three people to approach.

When Musashi saw the sword, he realized that it was definitely a good sword, so he went up and took it down.

He slowly pulled out the knife. The blade was a large, inverted T-shaped blade, black and purple with red serrated patterns. One look at it revealed that this knife was incredibly sharp.

Musashi reached out and stroked the blade, and couldn't help but say, "What a fine sword! You must be feeling lonely staying here all the time, right? Come with me and enjoy fighting again."

His tone was unusually gentle, as if he was talking to a woman.

Lu Chen didn't know much about swords. He thought a sword was a good weapon as long as it was sharp. And Musashi's tone was worrying.

So he replied, "I prefer more modern weapons. If you like it, just take the knife with you."

In Lu Chen's mind, swords are just tools, just like bullets fired from a gun, as long as they are lethal enough, it's fine.

Although Shengkai was lustful, his moral standards were obviously much higher than those of the other two. "This isn't good. It's obvious that this sword was enshrined here by someone else. If we just take it away, wouldn't that be considered stealing?"

Lu Chen immediately retorted firmly, "I went to someone else's treasury with the goddess Eris to take the artifact. This should be considered coordination!"

Musashi was also determined to take the sword away. He couldn't let the sword remain in such a place and gather dust.

"How could such a fine knife be left here to lie dormant? It must be thirsting for blood. Just as you want to go out and see beautiful women, it is also eager to cut skin and muscle."

After hearing what the two men said, Shengkai fell silent. He couldn't stop these two men who didn't keep their word. He hadn't even achieved his goal of having a beautiful mistress, so he couldn't care less about other weapons.

Lu Chen expressed regret for the Wano people's careless behavior of placing the national treasure next to the cemetery. It would have easily been lost if it had been left there. Fortunately, he and Musashi had met, otherwise Moria would have taken it away.

So Lu Chen agreed again and said, "Yes, weapons must be used after they are manufactured."

After all, we can't let Musashi keep using weapons he just randomly pulls out.

However, Lu Chen knew that taking Qiu Shui away like this might attract other people's attention, so he made his own suggestion: "How about I shrink it and hide it first, and then give it to you after we leave Wano Country."

Musashi answered calmly, "This is Qiu Shui's own wish. It longs to follow me and leave here. So even if others see it, they won't say anything."

Lu Chen didn't know if what he said was true, as he wasn't a real swordsman. He couldn't sense the sword's intentions at all.

However, Lu Chen knew that the swords in this world really had their own will, just like the Third Kitetsu chose Zoro.

Since the unrivaled Miyamoto Musashi said so, let’s assume that he is right.

Holy Armor was at a loss for words regarding the two men's shamelessness. It sensed no will from the sword named Qiu Shui. Clearly, the sword was far inferior to a divine artifact like itself, capable of speaking. Holy Armor was very proud of its status.

Musashi took the sword from the tombstone and solemnly bowed before it. "I will take my precious sword, Autumn Water, and rebuild my reputation. I will accept your legacy."

After standing up, Musashi said to the two of them, "Let's go! I've already met this swordsman. There must be other swordsmen in this country. I hope we can meet them."

Lu Chen was also interested in Kozuki Oden, who claimed to be able to fight Roger, so he said: "This country does have a swordsman who uses two swords. There will definitely be an opportunity to challenge him later."

There seemed to be a lot of good things in Wano Country, so the three of them continued to look around.

Not many people actually noticed Musashi walking down the street with the national treasure of Wano Country on his shoulder. After all, most people are unlikely to think that the national treasure of their country is slung around someone else's waist.

Everyone was looking at Sheng Kai and Lu Chen. These two were the focus of everyone's attention. A warrior with a sword was common here.

However, this knife is extremely eye-catching in the eyes of some people.

A young man with strange hair and twin swords on his waist stopped Lu Chen and the other two on the mountain road. He was Kozuki Oden, the daimyo of the Kuri region. He was followed by several of his retainers.

As soon as he arrived, he said in surprise: "You actually tried to take away our Wano country's national treasure!"

The reason he came here was not because he knew that the national treasure sword was stolen, but because he knew that outsiders had come to the closed-off country of Wano.

Because of its closed-door policy, few people know of the existence of Wano Country.

The news of the arrival of outsiders soon reached the ears of Kuri Daimyo Kozuki Oden. He was a man who was extremely eager to go to sea and wanted to know any news from the outside world.

Just then, three outsiders came over, two of whom were obviously not locals. He wanted to get some information from them, so he hurried over with his retainers.

Regarding Oden's fingerprints, Musashi explained seriously: "This sword is feeling lonely, and she is longing for me to take her away."

Oden's retainer, Denjiro, looked at Shusui and said excitedly, "I don't sense any such intention from Shusui at all. You must be saying this because you want to steal our national treasure."

It seems that one of them must have lied. From an emotional point of view, Lu Chen believes that Musashi should not have lied.

Musashi ignored the accusations of Oden's retainers: "Are you a samurai too?"

He felt an extremely strong aura from Oden, and it was obvious at first glance that this samurai was very strong.

Oden proudly said, "Of course, I am Kozuki Oden, the daimyo of Kuri, the man who commands many heroes. Tell me your name, samurai!"

Musashi opened his arms and felt his sharp aura.

"Me? I am the unrivaled one in the world - Miyamoto Musashi."

The Holy Armor paid no attention to the conflict between the samurai. It stared at Izo and Kikunosuke, examining them closely. This man called Oden actually had two female subordinates, and both of them looked promising. It was a shame that his own owner only had a group of male followers.
