The Bizarre Adventure of Pirates

The old man's funeral was simple, even crude.

But Yuji Itadori doesn't care.

It’s just a ceremony, what does it matter if it’s simple or complicated?

Compared to this, he cared more about his grandfather's last words before his death, which were "let him help and save more people, and then die surrounded by flowers."

Megumi Fushiguro told him that this was a different kind of curse, which was why a weak cursed force appeared in his body.

After a night of cramming, Yuji Itadori barely understood the basic concepts of a sorcerer and his favorite combat system.

The basic power of a sorcerer is curse power, which comes from the caster's own negative emotions. The stronger the negative emotions, the stronger the curse power.

The technique is an innate ability, a life skill, and cannot be acquired later.

Generally speaking, each sorcerer can only master one technique.

The technique can be inherited.

However, there is no magic in Yuji Itadori's body.

According to the mysterious teacher Gojo Satoru, Yuji Itadori's body is very clean, like a flawless piece of white paper, like a scabbard without a blade, or even more like a packaging bag without a snack...

Forget it.

"If there is no ritual, then there is no ritual. My body is very strong, and I can remove the curse with my fists." Yuji Itadori had a mysterious confidence in his heart.

This confidence comes from his strong physique that is rarely seen in a thousand years and his almost endless energy and endurance.

Because the whereabouts of 'Ryomen Sukuna's severed finger' is still unknown and there is a high possibility that it has been obtained by students of the school, Yuji Itadori cannot immediately go to Tokyo to formally study the sorcerer course, but instead stays to investigate the whereabouts of the severed finger with Megumi Fushiguro.

"That person was very tall, a little taller than the teacher. He had an upright figure and was wearing a student uniform. He had black hair, black eyes, and looked nasty."

Megumi Fushiguro told Yuji Itadori about the fight with the 'mysterious sorcerer' that night, "He was very powerful, and used a sealing technique that I could hardly fight back against."

Hearing this, Yuji Itadori couldn't help but laugh, "What? After all this time, you're just a rookie like me."

Megumi Fushiguro did not explain.

If you lose, you lose.

However, since he was able to escape unscathed from the hands of Gojo Satoru, it seems normal that I cannot defeat him?

Shaking his head and suppressing the thoughts in his mind, he asked Yuji Itadori: "How is it? Have you locked onto any suspicious objects?"

Yuji Itadori shrugged, "Come on, he's tall, has black hair, and a straight figure. There are a lot of people like him."

After a pause, he stroked his smooth chin and suggested, "How about we try our luck in the sports club? There are many muscular guys there who fit the characteristics you mentioned."

Megumi Fushiguro didn't have any good ideas for the time being, so he had to agree and made an appointment to meet after school.

……

……

As the sun sets, the two meet again.

After going around various sports clubs for several times, I still couldn't find the person I suspected to be the target.

However, Yuji Itadori was warmly welcomed by the presidents of major clubs. After a lot of effort, Yuji Itadori finally got rid of those annoying people and escaped with Megumi Fushiguro.

"I didn't expect a guy like you with strong limbs to not join the sports club." Fushiguro Megumi made a rare complaint.

Yuji Itadori laughed, "Someone once said the same thing to me, become an athlete and become an idol for all of Japan."

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind.

He suddenly remembered that his good friend Qiao Qiao also seemed to be very tall, with black hair.

but……

No way?

That guy is just a bookworm who never likes to interact with others. He has the demeanor of an iceberg handsome guy. How could he sneak into the school in the middle of the night and snatch the "severed finger of Ryomen Sukuna".

Seeing the strange expression on Yuji Itadori's face, Fushiguro Megumi's heart moved, and she asked quickly: "What's wrong, did you remember something?"

Yuji Itadori pondered for a moment and shook his head, "No, I was just thinking...what are we going to eat tonight?"

Fushiguro Megumi sighed, "The special grade cursed item is still in the hands of an unknown person, so how can I have the mood to eat?"

"Man is iron and food is steel." Yuji Itadori is very open-minded and does not seem to be as worried as Megumi Fushiguro.

Try to help others as much as possible, but don't be too obsessed and lose your original intention.

All in all, it’s almost done—

Pushing Fushiguro Megumi, he walked into a roadside ramen restaurant.

To be honest, Megumi Fushiguro doesn't like eating ramen very much because some ramen contains minced ginger, and he hates ginger.

However, since he had been pushed in by Yuji Itadori, he couldn't say anything.

He sighed and picked a clean chair to sit down.

Place your order.

Soon, two bowls of steaming ramen were placed in front of Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro.

The two of them ate and chatted.

Of course, the main thing is that Yuji Itadori asked Megumi Fushiguro various questions about sorcerers.

Fushiguro Megumi answered in a serious tone.

Various technical terms, such as "cursed power", "technique", "reversal technique", "technique forward conversion", "technique reversal", etc., made Yuji Itadori's head confused.

At this moment, a diner in the corner suddenly lifted up his bowl and yelled, "How many times have I told you that I don't eat seafood? Why are you still putting fish cakes in this? Do you want to stop running this restaurant?"

This rude guy made quite a noise and easily attracted the attention of Megumi Fushiguro and Yuji Itadori.

The boss with a towel wrapped around his head hurried out to apologize. When he passed by Fushiguro Megumi and Itadori Yuji, their expressions changed at the same time.

Because they clearly saw that there was a cursed spirit that looked like a six-eyed catfish lying on the noodle shop owner's shoulder.

Fushiguro Megumi lowered her voice and explained to Itadori Yuji: "The curse is formed by the negative emotions of human beings. Almost everyone has stress and negative emotions... This prototype of the cursed spirit is an inferior existence, but since we have discovered it, we can't just leave it alone."

The wave of spell power swept past.

In the blink of an eye, the six-eyed catfish was crushed to pieces.

Seeing this, Yuji Itadori's eyes sparkled and he gave Fushiguro Megumi a thumbs up, "Great!"

Fushiguro Megumi had three black lines on his forehead, "It's just a low-level cursed spirit prototype, you can easily deal with it."

"Me? But I don't have a fixed technique, and I don't know any spells." Yuji Itadori scratched the back of his head.

Fushiguro Megumi said: "You can see the cursed spirits, which means that you have cursed power. Curse masters are not just a profession that relies on curses. Punching the flesh is also a way of fighting."

Every mage has a dream of close combat, and the summoner mage Fushiguro Megumi is no exception.

Physical combat is the romance of men!

Upon hearing this, Yuji Itadori understood what was going on.

In terms of physical fitness and flexibility, he is confident that he is not inferior to anyone.

If you encounter a cursed spirit, just beat it.

After dinner, the two left the noodle shop.

Nothing was achieved today.

Tomorrow, the search continues.

……

……

Megumi Fushiguro and Yuji Itadori underestimated the difficulty of this mission.

After three days, they still hadn't found the tall, black-haired mysterious sorcerer.

This made Yuji Itadori wonder, "Is there a possibility that the person who stole Ryoumen Sukuna's severed finger was not a student of our school at all, but deliberately wore our school uniform to confuse people?"

Fushiguro Megumi doesn't think so.

Because Mr. Gojo Satoru had clearly told him that the guy had said, "I have to go to class early tomorrow morning."

There was nothing Yuji Itadori could do.

He joined every sports club and even the bad boys who hung out on the streets after school.

Because he had been looking for someone with Fushiguro Megumi these days, he didn't even go to the paranormal club, and the number of times he met his good friends was reduced...

Megumi Fushiguro also felt helpless.

What was originally a simple mission turned into a long-term mission due to the interference of Yuji Itadori and the mysterious sorcerer.

His energy should obviously be used on more meaningful things instead of being wasted in a county school!

After taking a look at the sky, Yuji Itadori asked tentatively, "How about we stop here today?"

Fushiguro Megumi nodded, "That's all for today, we'll continue tomorrow."

Yuji Itadori scratched the back of his head and said, "According to what you said, special-grade cursed items should attract cursed spirits nearby, but from what I've seen over the past few days, the number of cursed spirits nearby has decreased instead."

After pondering for a moment, Fushiguro Megumi replied: "There are two possibilities. One is that the broken finger of Ryomen Sukuna has been sealed again. Another possibility is that the sorcerer has obtained the power of Sukuna's broken finger."

Yuji Itadori curled his lips, "Ryomen Sukuna... It's all this guy's fault. He's been spreading cholera on the earth since ancient times, and it won't stop even after he dies..."

As he spoke, his expression suddenly changed.

'Ancient'

The key words appeared, and he finally remembered from whom he heard the name 'Ryomen Sukuna'.

"Ryoumen Sukuna...Hana, have you heard of it?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"I was recently browsing ancient documents and came across this name. I thought it was quite interesting."

"Qiao Qiao!" Yuji Itadori had a complicated look in his eyes.

Fushiguro Megumi's heart moved, "What did you say? Qiao Qiao, who is Qiao Qiao?"

Yuji Itadori took a deep breath and said, "He is a good friend I met after entering high school. I heard he is a foreigner..."

Megumi Fushiguro quickly grabbed Yuji Itadori's shoulders and said, "Hurry, take me to find him!"

After some mental struggle, Yuji Itadori finally agreed.

He thought, maybe it was just a coincidence.

……

……

A detached courtyard, with a front door.

"Yuji, why are you hanging out with this guy?" Looking at Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro at the door, John pinched his eyebrows helplessly.

It can only be said that the inertia of fate cannot be changed in the slightest. He had clearly already obtained the severed finger of Ryomen Sukuna and did not let Itadori Yuji become a "container". However, unexpectedly, Itadori Yuji still became a team with Fushiguro Megumi.

"It's you!" Fushiguro Megumi was extremely nervous, but his face showed fearlessness.

I saw him clenching his hands together, and he was about to make hand gestures to cast a spell.

Jon rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "I told you last time that fighting with me would not end well, but it seems you didn't listen at all."

He stared at Fushiguro Megumi and suddenly gave a wicked smile, "Xiaohui, I told you this is a secret between the two of us. It seems you didn't listen to me. You are very naughty."

Fushiguro Megumi was unmoved and said coldly: "Give me the severed finger of Ryomen Sukuna!"

"Gojo Satoru can't do anything to me, and you think you can snatch the severed finger from me?" Jon said with a smile.

At this time, Yuji Itadori said with a complicated expression: "Qiao Qiao, have you always been a sorcerer?"

"Not always. I just read a few books and learned a few incantations that are not worthy of being shown on the stage." Jon waved his hand.

Changing the subject, "As for you, I haven't seen you for a few days. Your curse power has increased very quickly."

Yuji Itadori smiled bitterly.

He doesn't have a clear understanding of his own changes, but Qiao Qiao can point out the key almost at a glance. What does this mean?

This shows that Qiao Qiao’s strength and vision far exceed his own.
