From Demon Slayer: Thunder Swordsman

"Master Koshiro, can your infinite power of humanity defeat the Pirate King Roger?" asked Kujo Tachibana curiously.

Don't get me wrong, Kujo Tachibana is not trying to argue, he is really just simply curious.

Hearing this, Koshiro immediately looked at Kujo Tachibana, his stubborn disciple, in anger and shame!

"I just can't beat Roger, but I can't beat you!"

After saying this, Koshiro, who was already furious, picked up the large sword and Doichimonji in his hand and rushed towards Kujo Tachibana.

"Zheng!!"

Two long swords with the advanced armament color domineering "Ryu Sakura" attached to them "collided" with each other without showing any weakness!

But upon closer inspection, there was a strange gap of two fingers' width left between the two long swords.

Lei Long and Wado Ichimonji began to wrestle with each other at such a distance!

This is the technique for using advanced Armament Haki!

This is also a skill that Kujo Tachibana has just mastered. This skill can not only attach a layer of invisible armor to the body and weapons, but also cause internal damage to the enemy.

The samurai of Wano Country called it "Ryu Sakura", also known as flowing armament domineering.

...

The two powerful armed color domineering collided with each other, just like a meteorite falling on the surface of the planet!

The ground beneath their feet was torn apart, and the clouds above their heads were scattered!

The shock wave centered on the two long swords and gushed out to the surroundings of the deserted island, flattening all obstacles along the way!

Even until it sank into the sea level far away, it still did not stop...

In the contest between the big and fast swords, although Lei Long was two levels lower, he never fell into a disadvantage due to the blessing of the heavy blade.

Koshiro opened his eyes wide and looked at Kujo Tachibana in shock!

His disciple actually blocked his attack!

Even though it was a bit difficult to block, this was his full-strength attack as a great swordsman!

Could it be that his disciple has also found his own path in the way of the sword?

Koshiro no longer dared to imagine...

At the age of fifteen, he is only one step away from becoming a great swordsman?

Thinking of this, Koshiro felt a little bored with this battle.

Since Tachibana has already found his own kendo, it is no longer appropriate for him to impose his Isshin-ryu kendo philosophy on Tachibana.

what is this?

The small tree grew crooked, but it turned out to be a good thing. At this time, Koshiro was helpless.

He raised his hand and pushed Wado Ichimonji forward, forcing Kujo Tachibana back two steps, then Koshiro put the long sword in his hand back into the scabbard.

A look of depression flashed across his face. This kid is improving too fast!

His Isshin Kendo-ryu had not yet been passed on, and others had already taken another path. What could Koshiro say?

Should we blame him for teaching too well? Or should we blame Jiujo Tachibana for improving too quickly?

Koshiro couldn't blame anyone, so he could only be depressed alone.

Jiujo Tachibana was also a little confused, but he didn't really want to fight. He hadn't encountered any bottleneck and was making progress every day. Why should he fight for no reason and waste his time on cultivation?

He immediately put the Thunder Dragon back into the scabbard, took two steps forward, and approached Master Koshiro very attentively.

"Master Koshiro, that move you just made was truly amazing."

"Look, you've almost destroyed this island."

"I think we should not run so far next time. What a waste of time..."

"Ah! No, what a waste of land resources! We don't have many islands in the East China Sea."

"This is a beautiful island, but it was destroyed just like that."

Upon hearing this, Koshiro couldn't help but roll his eyes.

His disciple is a cultivation maniac!

I have been in Shimotsuki Village for more than five years, and I have not left for more than five years.

If I hadn't taken him away from Frost Moon Village today, how long could he have stayed in Frost Moon Village?

Stay in Shimotsuki Village and wait until there are no more rivals on the ocean before going out to sea?

Even so, I still don't go out to sea...

Koshiro thought about it and thought that this might be possible.

He didn't see clearly before, so it's okay that this disciple is so strong!

Since Ju's strength is almost catching up with his teacher, what is there to worry about?

The stage for young people should be on the sea, not in their small village in the East China Sea.

Although Tachibana is only fifteen years old, Koshiro is still very confident in him, both in terms of his current strength and mentality.

"Alas..." Koshiro sighed softly, and then said:

"Ju, how many years have you been in Shimotsuki Village? Aren't you planning to go out to sea?"

Kujo Tachibana tilted his head and looked at Master Koshiro in confusion. Why did he want to go out to sea?

Again, he hasn't hit a bottleneck yet...

He can still practice peacefully for a few more decades!

Looking at Kujo Tachibana's expression, even though Koshiro was a good guy, he couldn't help but feel a few veins popping out on his forehead!

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Koshiro suppressed his impatience and said softly:

"Ju, you are already very strong now."

"You can go out to sea and explore. While you are still young, go out and see more. There are still many strong people on the sea. You should go and see different scenery."

"With your strength, there are few places in this ocean that you cannot go to."

"Shimotsuki Village is too small for you. It's not a place for a young person like you to stay."

"Even the entire Four Seas is too small for you right now. You should go to the Grand Line. Be good and listen to your master! Go out and explore!"

Kujo Tachibana scratched his head and thought for a while, then he looked at Master Koshiro who was full of expectation and said:

"I don't think I'm strong enough yet, let's wait a little longer!"

In fact, at this time, Kujo Tachibana probably understood what Master Koshiro meant, but he was not very interested in the things that everyone yearned for on this sea...

What wealth! What power! What fame! What beauty!

He had no interest in all of this. What he liked most was the process of constantly feeling that he was getting stronger.

This feeling really fascinated him...

Koshiro asked in surprise:

"How long do you have to wait? Tell the master so that he can prepare a boat for you in advance."

In his mind, Kujo Tachibana calculated the strength of this world's hidden boss, Im, based on the speculations of One Piece fans in previous lives, and then he said this.

"Well, it will take at least ten years!"

Hearing this, Koshiro felt his head buzzing. He raised his hand and patted his forehead lightly, but he was at a loss.

Another ten years?

In another ten years or so, Koshiro is really worried that it will be difficult to find an opponent in this ocean!

Is he the lone warrior? Or is he suppressing the entire sea?

Just then, Koshiro suddenly thought of something.

Koshiro's face turned serious, and he said seriously:

"Ju, didn't you say that your parents were killed by pirates?"

"Since you have the power to take revenge now, why don't you go?"

"Are you worthy of your dead parents?"

Nine Oranges: ...

-

Three days later, at the dock of Shimotsuki Village, Koshiro, holding Kuina, and a dozen swordsman trainees waved goodbye to the departing ship.

Kujo Tachibana is gone, leaving Shimotsuki Village, this dungeon that I have been working on for more than five years...

Chapter 14: A Cutting Sword

Half a month later, at the port of Roge Town.

He had an exaggeratedly long sword hanging around his waist and in one hand he was holding a bloodstained cloth bag that was already full of things. In addition, Jiujiaoju had the physique of a strong man!

As soon as they got off the boat, the little Karamis nearby consciously dispersed.

Jiujo Tachibana suddenly laughed and couldn't help but whispered softly, "Is this the feeling of oppression from being two meters and three meters tall?"

...

"Who are you? What are you doing in Rogue Town?"

Before Kujo Tachibana could show off his power for long, a team of more than ten soldiers in blue and white navy uniforms surrounded him.

However, the faces of these dozen or so naval soldiers seemed a little nervous.

After all, you can tell from his body shape and attire that Kujo Tachibana is not someone that is easy to mess with. He is not someone that ordinary soldiers like them can handle. Now this team of naval soldiers just hope that Kujo Tachibana is not a pirate.

The geographical location of Rogue Town is extremely important. If the great pirates from the East China Sea want to go to the Grand Line, Rogue Town is a must-pass place!

So from time to time, a few pirates strong enough to travel to the Grand Line would come to Rogue Town. After the death of Pirate King Roger, this situation became more frequent because of his inflammatory speeches.

This is also one of the reasons why the Navy transferred Smoker, the user of the natural smoke fruit, over in the later period.

Otherwise, ordinary colonel-level officers would not be able to defend Rogue Town.

...

Jiujo Ju smiled and tried his best to appear gentle.

He raised the cloth bag in his hand, which had already dried blood on it, and explained:

"Don't be nervous, I'm just a bounty hunter. I'm using these to exchange for Baileys."

"Can you take me to the naval base?"

After hearing what Jiujo Tachibana said, the navy soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. The leading captain stepped forward and said in a very polite tone:

"Of course, please come with me!"

Kujo Tachibana nodded. He did not deceive these navy soldiers. The cloth bag in his hand was indeed full of pirates' heads.

Kujo Tachibana, who had not left Shimotsuki Village for several years, only now realized how great a change the words of Pirate King Roger had brought to the world!

Along the way he traveled, he saw that in the East China Sea alone, there were so many pirate groups, big and small, that they were like a swarm of fish crossing the river, endless!

In the past half month, their ship has encountered pirate groups almost every day, but this merchant ship also has its own guards, and they can usually send most of the small pirates away after paying a little toll.

Since the damage to the merchant ship was not great, Kujo Tachibana had no intention of taking the initiative to act as a good guy.

These are the “rule-abiding” pirates, but there are also many pirates who don’t!

These pirate groups are usually composed of vicious criminals, gangsters, slave traders... these scumbags.

If we are intercepted by them, they will not only steal the goods, they will also kill people!

However, these pirates never check the almanac before going out, and they live on the edge of a knife, earning more day by day.

Meeting Kujo Tachibana can only mean that they are unlucky. Kujo Tachibana is worried that he can't find his old enemy with the help of the navy!

Now that he has brought the heads of these dozen pirates, Kujo Tachibana thinks that the naval commander of Rogue Town will always give him some face, right?

But the fact is that things are always contrary to our wishes, and some idiots are always so confused.
