From Demon Slayer: Thunder Swordsman

"Vice Admiral Canglong, I actually came here today to talk to you about the Stevenson Pirates."

"A week ago, Stevenson and his pirate group conquered our Kingdom of Moya, and the pirates under Stevenson also took a devil fruit from our royal family's treasury!"

Jiujo Tachibana couldn't help but ask curiously: "What devil fruit did Stevenson take?"

"Mama-Mama Fruit·Mythical Beast·Unicorn Form!" King Yasis said word by word.

"Mythical beast species?" Jiujo Tachibana murmured in surprise, then looked at Yasis in confusion and asked:

"Since your Moya royal family has a mythical beast devil fruit, why haven't you eaten it yet?"

Hearing what Kujo Tachibana said, King Yasis sighed and explained:

"This devil fruit was also born in our Moya Kingdom recently by chance. I originally wanted to use it as celestial gold and hand it over to the world's noble celestial dragons in exchange for the Moya Kingdom becoming a member of the Allied Nations."

"But now it seems...Alas!"

Jiujo Tachibana nodded. So that's how it is! Although it was hard for him to understand King Yasis's behavior, he couldn't deny that Yasis was still a good king.

However, Kujo Tachibana still feels that power is real only when it is in one's own hands. So what even if the Moya Kingdom joins the World Government's allies?

How many allied countries are there in the pirate world every year that are not invaded by pirates?

And those countries that have not been invaded have one thing in common, that is, they have mastered their own power and are strong enough to protect themselves!

For these lawless pirates and slave traders, as long as you don't hurt their power, you can't stop their greed.

After thinking for a while, Jiujo Tachibana looked at King Yasis and said:

"I'm going to chase the Stevenson Pirates right now. If he doesn't eat this devil fruit, then I will take it back."

"But even so, this devil fruit is my trophy. I will not give it back to you. There is only one promise I can give you."

"That means what I just told you is absolutely true. As long as I am still the head of the G2 branch, I will do my best to protect the Kingdom of Moya."

King Yasis nodded with gratitude, he was already very satisfied with the result, even though it was the new vice admiral of the G2 branch who took the devil fruit back.

Morally and logically, what right does he have to ask for it back?

He is a vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters, the king of a small country, whose territory only includes a small island. This vice admiral has dozens of islands of the same size as his, all of which are under his jurisdiction.

Even if he gets what he wants and the Kingdom of Moya becomes a member of the World Government, the power to protect them in the end still has to be the Navy...

-

A week later, the edge of the sea area belonging to the G2 branch was close to the sea area belonging to the G7 branch.

The Canglong had already slowly arrived here.

Tina, a girl with long pink hair, quickly walked from the cabin to the edge of the Canglong's deck, looked at Kujo Tachibana and asked seriously:

"Vice Admiral Canglong, Colonel Amos asked Tina to ask you, the Stevenson Pirates have already left the G2 branch's jurisdiction, should we still pursue them?"

Jiujo Tachibana looked at the empty sea in front of him and frowned.

As the chief of the G2 branch, he cannot leave the waters under the jurisdiction of the G2 branch without the order of the Navy Headquarters.

But just watching them leave made Jiujo Tachibana even more unwilling!

After thinking for a moment, Jiujo Tachibana looked at Tina and said softly:

"Tina, I just can't bear to let the Stevenson Pirates get away like this."

"You and Amos should stop here with the soldiers! I will chase them alone."

Hearing this, the girl frowned: "Tina wants to go with you. Tina is not a burden."

Jiujo Ju smiled helplessly, and then without any hesitation, he nodded and said:

"Tina is really not a burden, so come with me. Tina's abilities are indeed very useful."

After saying this, Kujo Tachibana didn't even think about notifying his number one adjutant Amos.

He just walked forward, put his arm around the second lieutenant Tina's shoulders, tapped his toes lightly, and jumped up from the deck of the Canglong with Tina. Just like a flying bird, they flew into the sky in the blink of an eye.

The two figures turned into a stream of light, and with a huge roar, they shot straight towards the direction where the Stevenson Pirates were fleeing!

It was not until this moment that Tina reacted!

The girl's face turned red instantly.

Doesn't she know how to do the moon walk? Why did she let Ju carry her up like that?

As if he could read minds, Kujo Tachibana just stepped in the air, looked down at the girl in his arms, and explained:

"I'm afraid they'll run away. My air steps are faster than my moon steps. Tina, you won't be angry, right?"

Hearing this, the girl acted like an ostrich, buried her head deeply, and said softly: "Tina knows, Tina is not angry."

...

Only ten minutes later, the nine oranges in the sky had already sensed the location of the Stevenson Pirates' ship.

Feeling the devil fruit shaped like a big pear in the hand of the man in the cabin!

Jiujo Ju smiled softly. "Very good, you haven't eaten yet? Then you don't have to eat it."

"Tina, don't go down yet. I'm going to destroy their ship. You are a devil fruit user, so it's still a little dangerous on the sea." Kujo Tachibana looked down at the girl in his arms and explained.

Tina, the girl with long pink hair, nodded, stepped on the moon step, and left Kujo Tachibana's arms.

...

As the rumbling sound in the sky approached, all the elite pirates from the Grand Line aboard the Stevenson Pirates' ship looked over.

There was a loud "bang!" and the sound of something heavy falling to the ground came from the deck.

I saw an unusually tall man, nearly three meters tall, wearing the uniform of a senior naval commander, with a long sword hanging from his waist and a cloak of justice.

He just dropped from the sky and arrived alone on the deck of the Stevenson Pirates' ship.

So crooked!

There is no need for Kujo Tachibana to introduce himself. This gang has been active in the Grand Line for many years, and the elite pirates who are well-informed know all about a man with such a figure and such a way of appearance.

He is definitely not an ordinary person!

Judging from his figure, he is most likely a super-strong macho man!

...

The "surrounded" Jiujo Tachibana slowly pulled out the Thunder Dragon in his hand, which had been cultivated and grown into a good-speed sword level by his advanced armament Haki.

I saw that the narrow blade of the Thunder Dragon was now covered with a faint black pattern that seemed to be formed naturally.

Raising his sword and looking at the elite pirates in front of him, Kujo Tachibana softly pronounced:

"You have been surrounded by me. If you resist stubbornly, you will not survive. Put your hands on your heads! Get down!"

The elite pirates on Stevenson's ship: "..."

Isn't this guy a fool?

Even if the damn admiral of the navy comes, these pirates dare to challenge him. No matter how powerful Kujo Tachibana is, can he scare them?

They are the elite pirates who have entered the Grand Line! Hey! Don't underestimate their courage!

...

Seeing that no one took any action, Jiujo Ju just smiled slightly. He was just joking just now.

Feeling the swordsman approaching, Jiujo Tachibana raised the Thunder Dragon in his hand and slashed towards the pirate ship under his feet at a very fast speed!

"Boom..."

A huge blue slash came from the blade of the Thunder Dragon, starting in front of Jiujo Tachibana and quickly slashing towards the stern...

The ship still needs to be cut down. Kujo Tachibana mainly wants to prevent the man holding the devil fruit from suddenly eating this precious mythical beast devil fruit.

If you haven't eaten yet, that can only mean one thing.

That guy didn't recognize this one either, a mythical beast-type devil fruit.

Kujo Tachibana knew that the man was the swordsman named Stevenson!

As a swordsman, the damage to the ship did not have a particularly big impact on Stevenson's combat effectiveness, but for a devil fruit user, it was a different story, unless you could fly.

Can the unicorn form fly?

Kujo Tachibana was confused, and Stevenson was even more confused. He didn't even know what kind of devil fruit this was.

Sure enough, what Kujo Tachibana predicted was correct. Stevenson did not choose to eat the devil fruit as a gamble, but instead put it in a cloth bag and put it in his clothes.

Stevenson never expected that this naval commander would just come up and destroy their ship!

It took them a while to react, and by the time they did, it was too late. Most of the ship's structure had been destroyed by Kujo Tachibana's slash!

Even though he reacted, he couldn't stop Ju.

Looking at Kujo Tachibana viciously, Stevenson drew the long knife from his waist.

Stevenson knew that if he couldn't kill this marine, he would not be able to escape today.

After all, he is not like that damned navy man, he can't fly!

If a group of people swim in the sea, they will just be sitting ducks for this navy swordsman.

In fact, at this time, Kujo Tachibana only needs to use air steps to fly into the sky.

From time to time, he would give the pirates in the sea a long-range attack.

There is no need to expend any effort, as these pirates basically have no room for resistance.

But in this case, Kujo Tachibana would have to worry that Stevenson would take the risk of destroying the devil fruit or eating it directly.

-

The two swordsmen, Kujo Tachibana and Stevenson, stood facing each other on the sea, holding swords at a distance of dozens of meters.

Nearly a hundred pirates from the Stevenson Pirates were either swimming or finding some ship wreckage, and they were all scattered in the nearby sea area.

Stevenson was standing on the wreckage of the ship, glaring at Jiujo Ju who was standing on another piece of wreckage, and said in a suppressed angry voice:

"You are the new leader of G2 branch! I have already left the jurisdiction of G2 branch, why are you still chasing me?"

Jiujo Tachibana shook his head expressionlessly:

"You're a pirate, I'm a marine, it's that simple."

"Since when does the navy need a reason to hunt down pirates?"

After saying this, Jiu Tiao Ju didn't waste any more time and rushed forward holding the Thunder Dragon.

He didn't want to use the Flying Slash, what if he broke the Devil Fruit?

Seeing this, Stevenson rushed forward with a knife without any fear!

The long swords of the two men were both wrapped in armed color domineering, and Stevenson's long sword appeared to be a dark color.

However, the nine orange thunder dragons exude a purple-red color.

"Zheng..."

The victory or defeat was decided in the instant the two long swords collided!

The Thunder Dragon and the Nine-Tailed Orange, which were much larger in size, were easily knocked away by Stevenson with just one sword.

The sea water rushed up into the sky from around the two of them!

The palm of Stevenson's hand holding the long knife had been cracked by the huge force of the thunder dragon, with one fine wound after another. Blood flowed out from the wound uncontrollably and dripped into the sea under the feet of the two men.

Stevenson tightened his hand, which was still bleeding but trying to hold the hilt of the knife, and looked at the naval commander in front of him in shock!

This guy must be a great swordsman!

Stevenson really didn't expect that the navy would take him so seriously and send a great swordsman to hunt him down...

Did he kill the Celestial Dragons?

Why chase him like this?

-

Here I would like to talk about the author's own thoughts and settings. The great swordsman is a realm of swordsman, and the span of this realm is very large. Some swordsmen who have reached this realm have the strength of general candidates, or the three disasters, or even one level weaker.

For example, Peach Rabbit, Flower Sword Vista, etc.

However, some people can reach the level of admiral or four emperors, such as Ryoma Shimotsuki and Hawkeye.
