"I should finish my work and go back early. I have no passion anymore."
Sasaki boarded the ship in disinterest and dully looked at the sea.
When he landed at his destination, it was already noon.
Smoke was rising from the village, and birds were chirping back and forth on the trees.
From time to time, the sound of children's laughter can be heard, creating a harmonious and peaceful scene.
"Sir... This is the Shimotsuki Village."
The reporter followed Sasaki and said cautiously.
"You two, wait a moment."
Suddenly, a gentle voice came, and Sasaki turned his head to look.
He saw a man wearing a gray yukata with a beige haori over it, a pair of round-rimmed glasses, and squinting eyes as he walked over.
"Who are you?" Sasaki asked while looking at the man.
"Excuse me, let me introduce myself; I'm Koushirou, the owner of the Isshin Dojo in Shimotsuki Village and the master of Pirate Hunter, Roronoa Zoro."
Koushirou bowed slightly and said politely.
"The master of Straw Hat's companion?"
Sasaki looked at Koushirou, who looked harmless, with narrowed eyes, and said with a teasing smile: "Are you here to avenge your apprentice?"
"No! Since Zoro has chosen the path of Pirate, he should be aware of the consequences! There is no reason for me to interfere."
Koushirou's eyes showed a little sadness, but he continued to say calmly:
"It's just that no matter what grudges he has with you, I hope it won't involve the village! The villagers are all innocent!"
"If you want to blame someone, then blame me; it's because I, his master, taught him poorly. If you want to hold me accountable, please come to me and leave the village alone, please!"
Koushirou said sincerely and bowed to apologize after speaking!
"Are you teaching me how to do things?!"
Regarding Koushirou's attitude, Sasaki remained unmoved and said calmly, but his tone was extremely domineering.
"No! I just hope that the village can be saved!" Koushirou lowered his head and said in a pleading tone.
"What if I say no!" Sasaki looked at Koushirou calmly.
Sasaki's ruthless words brought the air to a freezing point for a moment; the birds stopped chirping, and the insects and beasts seemed to have disappeared, making the area extremely silence!
Koushirou raised his head, slowly opened his squinted eyes, stared at Sasaki with sharp eyes, and said firmly: "With me here, you can't do it!"
"I hope your words can match your strength!" Sasaki said calmly.
The two looked at each other, and neither of them spoke anymore; only the sea breeze blew slowly...
"Blow-
"Qiang!"
Suddenly, their figures disappeared at the same time.
When they reappeared, their swords had collided together.
The air exploded, and an invisible Shock wave was stirred around.
"Ahhhhh..."
The reporter was blown away by the aftermath.
After getting up in a panic, he used his hands and feet to run away.
"What a surprise!"
"It is said that the East Blue is the weakest sea area."
"I didn't expect that there would be a strong person like you here!"
Sasaki exclaimed excitedly; the strong sword intent made his blood begin to boil.
"I don't want to be an enemy of you, Beasts Pirates. As long as you leave, I'll never draw my sword again!"
Koushirou was still making his final push.
He's not afraid of Sasaki, but he's afraid of offending the Beasts Pirates!
"Bang…!"
"Boom...!"
There were constant explosive explosions in the air, and Sasaki looked as ferocious as a ghost as he kept slashing Koushirou.
"Stop dreaming!"
Sasaki pointed his sword at Koushirou's head:
"What qualifications do you have to negotiate terms with me!"
Koushirou slashed his sword into the air and hit Sasaki with tremendous force.
"Clang!!"
"Bang...!!"
A metal-like harsh roar resounded through the air.
Sasaki, who was in mid-air, resisted it but was repelled by the huge force, returned to the ground, and took two steps back.
"Hahaha... Okay!! Great swordsman! It's just right! Be my opponent!"
Sasaki understood Koushirou's strength and was not discouraged at all.
Instead, he became extremely excited!
"Roar…!"
Sasaki looked up to the sky and roared. His momentum was like an ancient beast, and it became more fierce as his body expanded.
The huge shadow blocked the sunlight, and Koushirou's pupils suddenly shrank under the glasses.
A huge horned dragon roared into the sky, and the Shock wave swept through everything around it.
Even the villagers far away could hear the terrifying roar.
Staring at Koushirou with blood-red eyes, he struck hard with his sharp dragon claws. Not only did his enlarged size not affect his speed, but it also covered a wider area!
"This is just a low-rank cadre of Beasts Pirates!"
Koushirou's face was solemn, and he sighed in his heart: "How terrifying would the entire Beasts Pirates be!"
He dodged and jumped to avoid the incoming slap.
The ground shook, and the slap created a deep pit.
The cracks continued to spread, and the whole island could feel the tremor!
"One Sword Style: Wind Slash!"
Koushirou ran along the horned dragon's body and struck the horned dragon's face with both hands.
"Crack!"
But a scene that shocked Koushirou appeared.
The horned dragon opened its bloody mouth, its interlaced sharp teeth turned pitch black, and bit into pieces the flying slash that could cut mountains and seas in one bite!
The flying slash that can easily cut through steel did not cause any damage to the sharp teeth of the horned dragon!
"Die!!"
The horned dragon roared and slapped Koushirou in the air with a palm.
Koushirou did not retreat but advanced, he stepped into the air, like a Moonwalk (Geppou), and calmly faced the giant palm.
He put his right hand on the handle of the sword, restrained his breath, and gathered his strength!
"One Sword Style: Swift Slash!"
"Pfft~"
Koushirou passed by the horned dragon, just like a little mouse passing by an elephant, looking so disharmonious.
However, as Koushirou slowly sheathed his sword, a bloody gash was cut out of the horned dragon behind, and blood spilled out like a fountain.
"Well... What a powerful slash!"
The reporters who are far away from the battlefield are dedicated to taking photos like crazy.
Koushirou returned to the ground and turned to look at the horned dragon behind: "That's it!"
"Just with a small cut; you don't think you already beat me, do you?"
The horned dragon roared fiercely, and the wound on its palm gradually disappeared at a slow speed.
That kind of terrifying wound was just a small cut for the huge horned dragon.
With the recovery speed of the Mythical fruit users, even if they haven't awakened yet, it won't take long to recover from such injury.
"If you want to save those villagers, defeat me!"
"Then there's no way!"
"One Sword Style: Frost Fang!"
When Koushirou heard Sasaki say that, his eyes became sharper, and with one slash, a huge flying slash crossed the sky as if it was going to tear everything apart!
"Well done! Wind Storm!!"
A strong wind blew around the horned dragon, rolling up rocks on the ground like a roaring tornado.
The flying slash shone in the sky, and the hurricane swallowed up the sun.
"Boom...!"
"Boom...!!"
There was an explosion-like roar in mid-air, and the violent explosion shot straight into the sky.
A strong shock wave swept through the entire island.
With the two people as the center, a basin with a radius of one kilometer appeared on the ground, and everything around it was destroyed!
