Tom Cat breaks through the dimensional wall.

This is better.

It can not only train Tanjiro, but also control the intensity of the battle, so that Tanjiro will not fight too fiercely, thus activating the markings.

As the user of Sun Breathing, Tanjiro is the easiest person to activate the mark.

Once he activates the markings, the resonance effect of the markings will easily allow other pillars to activate their markings as well.

In this case, all the preparations that Tang Mu has made in the past two years are meaningless.

Originally, the scientific ghost-killing method introduced by Tom was intended to replace the stripes.

Tom doesn't want those good guys in the Demon Slayer Corps to die at a young age because of their markings.

"Master Tom, we succeeded."

Tanjiro and the other two held knives in their hands and breathed heavily. When they saw Tomioka Giyuu, Tang Mu and the others, they smiled broadly on their faces.

"You did a great job. Let's go back to the room. The passengers on the ship should be waking up soon."

Now that the battle was over, Tom climbed back onto Giyu Tomioka's shoulders.

Having obtained demon blood before, Tom is now able to control his body size to become smaller, just like Nezuko.

A body length of 1.2 meters is a bit too big for a cat. Normally, Tang Mu thinks it is good enough to maintain the body shape of an adult cat of 50 centimeters.

With the death of Nightmare, the flesh and tentacles covering the entire cruise ship began to turn into ashes and dissipate.

Tom and his team returned to the room first before the passengers woke up.

It can be expected that the ship will be bustling during the next month's voyage.

The result was the same as what Tom thought.

Everyone on the ship fell asleep together strangely.

After waking up, the Infinity Cruise, which was originally in good condition, became a shabby mess.

There were large holes on each deck caused by the huge force.

Many passengers were injured to varying degrees, and some people were mysteriously missing.

Some even said that a cat seemed to have been seen on the main deck that night chopping off Miss Bracken's head.

All of this made all the passengers panic, and they just wanted to end the flight as soon as possible and reach the United States.

By the time this group of people reaches land, the legend of the Infinity Cruise will probably become various versions of supernatural stories and spread across America.

But that is no longer Tang Mu and the others’ business.

After getting rid of the ghosts on the cruise ship, one third of the mission this time has been completed.

Just enjoy your time at sea.

As for Tom, apart from resting, he discusses breathing techniques with Tanjiro and his three companions.

For Tom, who had already mastered ten breathing methods perfectly, it was very easy for him to learn new breathing methods. When the Infinity Cruise arrived at the port in Michigan, USA, Tom had already learned new breathing methods from Tanjiro and others.

Regarding the matter of the God of Fire Kagura, Tom also took this opportunity to communicate with Tanjiro for a while.

The Fire God Kagura Dance is a sacrificial dance passed down from generation to generation by the Kamado family. It is a dance performed to pray for peace to "Lord Fire God".

But in fact, its true identity is the legendary Sun Breathing, which is the ancestor of all breathing methods and represents the strongest breathing method of the sun.

Born in the Warring States Period, Yoriichi Tsugikuni was born with and mastered the power of markings, the transparent world and breathing techniques.

He is the true chosen one, and a great man who scared the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji into hiding for hundreds of years, and only dared to show up again after Tsugumi Yoshiichi died of old age.

This Breathing of the Day is the breathing method used by Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

Before Yoshiichi Tsugakuni left the Demon Slayer Corps, he passed on the Breathing of the Sun to Tanjiro's ancestor Tankichi Kamado in the form of the Fire God Kagura, and it was finally passed down to Tanjiro.

Also passed down are the earrings that Tanjiro has always worn on his ears, which were originally owned by Yoriichi Tsugakuni.

After learning about the history of Sun Breathing from Tom, all of Tanjiro's doubts for some time were answered.

Without any worries in his mind, Tanjiro felt a lot more relaxed.

"Ugh——!"

The whistle blew.

After more than a month of sailing, the dilapidated Infinity cruise ship finally entered the port amid the incredulous gazes of everyone at the dock.

As soon as the gangway was lowered, the passengers on the cruise ship rushed down impatiently.

Obviously, this voyage has left them with a lot of psychological trauma. After arriving at the port, they really don’t want to stay on the cruise ship any longer.

“Is this America?”

Mixed in the crowd, Tanjiro and his group also got off the cruise ship.

Looking at the bustling dock that was completely different from the one in Japan, the wide road in the distance, the trams running with the sound of "ding-dong-dong", and the skyscrapers hundreds of meters high, Tanjiro was like a country bumpkin entering the city, and was really a little scared.

Tightening the wooden box on his back, Tanjiro looked around and followed Tomioka Giyuu.

Inosuke Hashibira is as unworldly as Tanjiro.

But he appeared more excited than nervous.

Therefore, Zenitsu Agatsuma had to keep holding the wild boar to prevent it from suddenly crashing into pedestrians nearby.

However, no matter how low-key Tom Mu and his group were, they still attracted a lot of attention on the streets of America.

After all, their attire was too conspicuous among a group of people in suits and ties.

"Hey! Are you guys sent by the Ubuyashiki family?"

At this moment, on the side of the road ahead, a big white man greeted Tang Mu in fluent Japanese.

It seems that it is time for Ubuyashiki's partner in the United States in the past two years to come and pick them up.

The ultraviolet lamp that Tang Muxin had been dreaming of for a long time was commissioned to be manufactured by them.

Chapter 20 Godfather Tom

Misiana, St.Antis.

Tom and his group landed at the southern port and, under the guidance of a local partner, got into a Ford Model T.

The old-fashioned car launched in 1908 is definitely not as comfortable to ride as the cars of the 21st century.

But for people like Tanjiro who had never ridden in a car, the sudden transition from the era of horse-drawn carriages to internal combustion engine cars brought a shock that Tom could not understand.

"I bought this car not long ago. It only cost over 825 dollars. When it first came out, it was only dollars. Other cars are too expensive. Ford is better."

The strong white man who came to pick them up was named James. He owned five factories and was considered a small business.

After receiving financial support from the Ubuyashiki family two years ago, things have been going much more smoothly.

It is precisely because of this that James is quite concerned about the arrival of Tom and Mu.

Holding the steering wheel in his hands, James drove the car while chatting with Giyu Tomioka about some topics with a smile, trying to build a good relationship with them.

Tanjiro and the other two are obviously still children, and they look like they have never seen the world.

However, Giyu Tomioka, who was sitting in the passenger seat with a cat in his arms, had a blank expression on his face and looked very mature and steady. He was obviously the leader of their group.

If James wanted to talk, he could only find Giyu Tomioka.

"Mr. Tom, I heard about you in Mr. Ubuyashiki's letter. He said you were a very special person. I see you today and you are indeed extraordinary."

James communicated with Giyu Tomioka in fluent Japanese.

Hearing this, Tomioka Giyuu pulled Tom from his lap and placed him between James and himself, saying calmly, "This is Tom."

"Eh?!"

James was stunned when he heard this.

Holding the steering wheel in his hand, he glanced at the blue and white British shorthair cat in the passenger seat and was caught off guard.

“Great men are not born great, they grow up to be great, my friend.”

I don't know when Tom changed into a suit. With his eyes half closed and a burning cigar in his hand, he spoke to James who was driving in English with a Sicilian accent.

"I bought it!"

A cat suddenly started talking, which scared James half to death. As if in a stress reaction, he slammed on the brakes and turned the steering wheel with both hands!

The Ford Model T under him suddenly seemed to be out of control, and the wheels made a violent friction sound with the ground!

The car body was shaking wildly on the road, scaring the vehicles and passers-by in front, behind, and on both sides to avoid it.

Suddenly, the whole street was filled with shrill horns and all kinds of crazy shouting and cursing!

"Calm down, James. Women and children can be carefree, but men can't. You need to calm down."

Tom's low and slightly hoarse voice calmed James down.

Finally, the Ford car gradually stabilized and was driving smoothly on the road again.

"Mr. Tom, Tom, Tom."

James still looked very nervous, and his voice was trembling.

"Just call me Tom. That's my English name. James, what's your name?"

Tang Mu sat upright on Giyu Tomioka's lap, imitating the godfather's demeanor and asking questions in a calm tone.

"Mark, my name is Mark James. Mr. Tom, nice to meet you."

James sat upright and drove the car without looking away.

In this state, Tom Mu gives people the feeling of a calm and steady boss.

It was clearly their first meeting and Tom was still just a cat, but James felt that he was his godfather and must treat him with the utmost respect.

"Very good, Mr. James, not so nervous now?"

Tom half-closed his eyes, raised his lower lip slightly, and took a light puff of the cigar in his hand.

"Yes, Mr. Tom, thank you for your help. I feel much more relaxed now."

James bowed his head slightly to show his respect to Tom.

In the back seat of the Ford car, Agatsuma Zenitsu couldn't help but complain when he saw Tom acting so pretentiously.

"Hey, hey, hey, Master Tom, he's not like this normally, right? Although I don't understand what they're saying, I always feel like he's pretending. Tom is so weird, he's so lazy normally."

Agatsuma Zenitsu leaned over to Tanjiro's ear and whispered.

"No, Master Tang Mu has always been so proud."

Tanjiro didn't think so much. Looking at Tom's godfather-like behavior, his eyes were full of admiring little stars. He felt that Tom was particularly cool!

Now Tanjiro was only staring at Tom, and his answer to Zenitsu Agatsuma was a bit perfunctory.

Not long after, Tang Mu and his friends arrived at their destination.

It can be seen that this is a factory area.

A large number of chimneys belched thick smoke upwards.

It was broad daylight, but the sun was nowhere to be seen.

The weather was also gloomy.

At the entrance of James' factory, several managers were already waiting there.

Seeing the boss' car stop, several of them wanted to come up and help open the door, but James jumped down first.

He trotted quickly to the passenger seat and respectfully opened the door.

Under the shocked gazes of the factory managers, a cat in a suit and tie got out of the car.

With a cigar in his hand, he walked towards the factory without looking around.

Tanjiro and others behind him also hurried to catch up.

"Show me the goods. You should know the purpose of our visit this time."

Tom's tone was steady.

James heard this and accompanied Tom forward, saying repeatedly: "Don't worry, Mr. Tom, there will be absolutely no problem, and you will definitely be satisfied."

Seeing the boss being so respectful to a cat, the factory manager nearby felt that his brain was not working properly.
