From Demon Slayer: Thunder Swordsman

In this world dominated by pirates, Kujo Tachibana does not want to be a pirate, as this is inconsistent with his worldview.

Preying on the weak is a behavior of the weak. The strong will only wield their swords against the stronger! Unless, of course, little Karami himself is confused.

Fame and wealth are not precious things to him. Only the power in his hands is real. He has no interest in a pirate group that is purely adventurous.

If he had to talk about his interests, there is only one thing: the power of human beings themselves that he has been pursuing!

Why don’t we go back to Shimotsuki Village to find Master Koshiro?

At this moment, an idea suddenly occurred to Jiujo Tachibana.

But after thinking about it, Jiujo Ju shook his head.

Master Koshiro doesn't seem to be very willing for him to go back...

Forget it, just let it happen!

As the black sailboat moved away, the sea area full of shipwrecks returned to calm again.

-

East China Sea, Windmill Village.

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Garp's adjutant Bogart rushed to Garp's home in Windmill Village in a hurry.

...

Bogart tried his best to persuade Cap:

"Vice Admiral Garp! We have found the trace of the swordsman. If you don't plan to meet him, then go back! Marshal Sengoku will be really angry if you delay any longer."

Garp picked his nose and thought to himself, "He's just a swordsman. What's the big deal?"

Just seeing Bogart still talking nonstop, Cap couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed. He came to the East China Sea on a business trip, and after scaring away the good-for-nothing Kaler, he went straight to Windmill Village.

Is it important to recruit a swordsman and have him visit my eldest grandson Ace?

When Garp arrived in the East China Sea, he had long forgotten about the matter of the swordsman.

Fortunately, Bogart, his adjutant, did not forget.

Until this moment, Karp, who had stayed for nearly a month, finally realized that he had stayed in the East China Sea for a long time...

"Okay, okay! Bogart, go get ready and go out to sea immediately!"

"Yes! Vice Admiral Garp!" After saying this, Bogart turned around and walked towards the warship at the dock.

Chapter 16 Meeting

The weather is very good today. The sunshine shines on the boundless East China Sea, creating waves of golden ripples.

On the calm sea surface, there was a light "plop" sound of water, and the heroic face of Jiu Tiaoju with a faint smile on his face suddenly emerged from the sea.

Then Jiujiaoju began to dance his limbs like the blades of a propeller, rolling up large waves, breaking the beautiful scenery on the sea in an extremely unromantic way, and swam towards the black pirate ship floating nearby at a high speed.

...

After he swam to the bottom of the ship, Kujo Tachibana did not ask the people on the boat to lower the rope. He just supported himself with one hand on the wooden board at the bottom of the pirate ship, and with a little leverage, he jumped up like a bird!

The next second, it fell on the deck like a light feather, without making any sound.

Between the stillness and movement, she is truly as graceful as a startled swan and as elegant as a swimming dragon!

It is not difficult to see from here how precise Kujo Tachibana's control over his own power is.

It was not until he reached the deck that Kujo Tachibana opened up the pores all over his body, and his mouth and nose synchronized with the pores on his body to expel the foul air that had been pent up in his body.

Immediately, sweat as thick as pulp was quickly discharged from Kujo Tachibana's body through the sweat glands.

Lifting aside the buckets of water that the pirates had prepared long ago, they poured water down from overhead, washing away the thick sweat on the body.

The perfect human body, with drops of water hanging on it, exudes a shocking beauty under the refraction of sunlight!

"call..."

Jiujo Ju let out a comfortable breath. The fatigue in his muscles from exercising in the deep sea completely disappeared at this moment. His whole body was emitting waves of sour and refreshing feeling.

-

"Is breakfast ready?" While wiping the water droplets off his body, Kujo Tachibana looked at the former owner of the pirate ship and asked.

"I'm ready, Mr. Kujo." Billy Toure, nicknamed the Sea Snake, said respectfully with his head lowered.

Nodding, Kujo Tachibana put on his coat and walked towards the restaurant on the ship.

The pirates on the ships along the way all bowed their heads and saluted. It was not that Kujo Tachibana asked them to do so, but these pirates were impressed by Kujo Tachibana's strength and self-discipline.

I looked at the breakfast prepared by the restaurant. It was a large piece of meat that took up the entire table, with the surface of the meat covered with sauce.

Jiujo Tachibana nodded with satisfaction. Not bad! Grilled sea king...

In fact, the staple food of every meal of Jiujiaoju now is seafood, grilled, steamed, stewed, braised... He changes it up in different ways, and fortunately he never gets tired of it.

After a pleasant meal, a large amount of high-protein meat is absorbed by the body, and the energy lost in the body is replenished again.

Jiujo Ju burped and walked out of the cabin.

It is not suitable to exercise after a full meal, so he wants to go to the deck to bask in the sun and rest for a while.

But at this moment, Kujo Tachibana suddenly stopped.

...

Dozens of kilometers away, a huge naval standard warship was heading towards Kujo Tachibana to intercept it.

The amazing thing is that the ram of this warship was designed to look like a dog's head.

Jiujo Tachibana frowned. There was no need to think about it, because this dog-head warship belonged to Garp.

Why did he come to me? To save face for the Navy?

Given Garp's character, he probably wouldn't bully a 15-year-old kid...

Thinking of this, Kujo Tachibana called all the pirates on the ship to the deck.

After everyone arrived, Kujo Tachibana looked at the pirates and warned them:

"You guys aren't that bad. I'm leaving now. I can let you go this time, but!"

"You are absolutely not allowed to be a pirate anymore! Otherwise, if I meet you next time, I will not forgive you."

At this moment, the sea snake Billy Touré stepped forward and asked:

"Can we follow you then, Mr. Kujo?"

Jiujo Tachibana shook his head mercilessly and said bluntly: "You are too weak."

After saying this, Jiujo Tachibana released a small boat similar to a lifeboat from the hull onto the sea, then turned around and jumped off the deck of the pirate ship.

"Turn the boat around and go!"

"The Navy is coming!"

Jiujo Ju was on the small boat. After reminding them, he rowed the boat towards the direction of Garp's dog-head warship.

-

After half an hour.

On the deck of the Dog-Head warship, Garp folded his hands across his chest. Just this tall and majestic figure was enough to inspire countless naval officers and soldiers behind him.

It would be better if the air bubble in his nostrils could be removed...

"Vice Admiral Garp! Wake up and don't sleep any more." Bogart poked Garp who was standing beside him with his finger.

The small bubble burst with a "pop" sound. Garp opened his eyes, looked around blankly, and asked:

"What's wrong? Are there pirates coming?"

Bogart frowned, pointed at nine oranges on a small boat in the distance, and said:

"Lieutenant General Garp, we have found the person we are looking for."

After hearing this, Garp turned his gaze in the direction of Kujo Tachibana.

Jiujo Tachibana stood on the boat with a calm expression and looked at him. In fact, he secretly thought in his heart: "I hope Garp will wait a while and hit me gently..."

"Great! It's you, kid, bullying our East China Sea navy, right?" Garp came up and put a hat on Kujo Tachibana.

Although he was not as strong as the other party, Jiujo Tachibana did not give in. He stood on the boat and fought back:

"I thought everyone in the navy was a righteous person. Kaler from the East China Sea was just an exception, a rat shit."

"I didn't expect that you navy guys are all the same! Bah, you still have the nerve to hang the word "justice" behind you?"

Unfortunately, what Kujo Tachibana said not only did not make Garp angry, but instead made him laugh out loud.

Not bad, not bad, he likes this kid’s temper!

"Do you know who I am?" After saying this, Garp restrained his smile, and his aura was like a mountain, pressing down on Kujo Tachibana.

The small boat with nine oranges standing on it suddenly sank slightly!

In an instant, the air seemed to become sticky.

"breathe..."

Having already started practicing breathing techniques and adjusting his state, Jiujo Tachibana slowly pulled out the Thunder Dragon in his hand, fearlessly pointed it at Garp, and said:

"I know, Navy hero! Iron Fist Garp!"

Feeling the spirit of Kujo Tachibana, Garp nodded with satisfaction and asked:

"Boy, do you dare to find a place to fight with me?"

"If I say I don't dare, will you leave?" Kujo Tachibana said expressionlessly.

Chapter 17 The unbearable pain of life

The mountains were shaking and the earth was torn apart. Even the warships outside the island could feel the vibrations caused by the collision of forces in the distance.

Bogart, who was still on the warship at this time, was also a little surprised.

That kid who looks a little immature and should not be very old actually possesses such strength?

But when he thought of this, Bogart became even more worried.

It’s okay that he’s not as strong as Vice Admiral Garp, he knows how to control his attack and won’t hurt anyone.

I’m afraid of this kind of thing!

It can make Vice Admiral Garp serious, but it can't stop Vice Admiral Garp's "serious" iron fists...

-

If Jiujo Ju, who had panda eyes, knew what Bogart was thinking, he would definitely not be so reckless.

...

What Luffy said is true! When old man Garp hits someone, it really hurts!

...He was beaten so hard that he was in tears.

The pair of black iron fists as big as casseroles danced even more tightly. His Thunder Dragon chopped on the pair of iron fists, and it only made a clanging sound. Jiu Tiao Ju was really afraid of chopping down and breaking his "treasure sword"...

It turns out that the harsher your words, the more severe the beating you get, right?

Although Kujo Tachibana was crushed the entire time, Garp was still surprised by this kid's performance.

He doesn't look very old, but his sword skills and domineering aura are extremely proficient!

This is high-level Armament Haki! And the strength of this top swordsman, even in the navy, this guy's strength is definitely among the top ones!

Oh, and there’s also that overly sharp “Observation Haki…” Even though the speed difference between the two of them is so huge, it’s not easy for him to hit this kid with a punch.

The most bizarre thing is this kid's physique. Not only is he incredibly strong, but his recovery speed is also ridiculously fast. There were several times when he felt that this kid's strength was gradually decreasing.

But with this kid's strange breathing, he soon became lively again...

Garp punched the Nine Orange Long Sword Thunder Dragon, sending it flying several meters away. He couldn't help but be curious and asked:

"Boy, have you ever eaten an animal-type devil fruit?"

"You've been beaten too hard!"

Jiujo Ju shook his head, picked up his knife and rushed forward without saying a word.

This damn old man has punched me so many times. If I can’t hit him back today, I won’t be able to eat well for the whole year!
