Chapter 98 The Twelve Skills of Kyoto’s Supreme Sharp Sword
"The Unicorn Pirates? It sounds like a good name."
Sirle Qiao, the commander of the Northern Army of the Dawn Revolutionary Army, looked calmly at the morning fog gradually dissipating on the sea as the sun rose in the east, and seemed to be talking to himself.
Zakun, the deputy commander next to him, walked up, bowed slightly and said, "Commander, we just received internal news that the fish have left the fish school. We can go to the target location and wait."
"That saved us a lot of time."
Commander Searle's thoughts have drifted back to the Grand Duchy of Shayash, "The Winter Revolutionary Army has local advantages and is still growing. We can no longer passively develop this time back."
"What do you mean?" Deputy Army Commander Zakun asked.
Searle frowned and pondered for a moment, then said with an indifferent expression, "Choose some villages where ability users have appeared, and let the celestial prisoner lead the team. We must get fresh blood before the Winter Revolutionary Army."
Having said this, he paused, and a gleam of coldness flashed in his eyes, "What the Winter Revolutionary Army wants are returning soldiers. We only need iron-blooded warriors. This is the cornerstone of overthrowing the rule of heaven and man."
"Yes! I'll make arrangements right away." Deputy Army Commander Zakun bowed and responded.
However, Zakun did not leave immediately.
After thinking for a while, he finally asked, "As for today's operation, should we recruit some people who are willing to surrender? There should be many capable people on the target ship."
Hearing Zakun's words, Army Commander Searle shook his head without thinking, "It's not necessary. Kill them all. This is the condition for Wano's senior leaders to maintain long-term trade relations with us."
"That's a pity." Zakun sighed.
Nemuro Strait
The morning sun shines down, coating the surface of the North Sea with a layer of New Year's gold.
A warship pulled a huge white wave across the sparkling sea, and the NHK TV helicopter overhead circled back and forth like a seabird, performing a simultaneous live broadcast of the morning news.
"Happy New Year to all viewers in front of the TV! I am Makoto Funatari, an outdoor reporter from NHK. You can take a look at the place under my feet, the boundless blue sea. Yes, I am currently in the Nemuro Strait in Hokkaido. Now everyone is bringing you
It’s a live broadcast of Captain Tokugawa’s inspection of the waters around Hokkaido.”
"Can the cameraman zoom in on us? Okay! That's it. We can see Team Leader Tokugawa standing on the bow deck waving to us, asking us to come and work hard on the first day of the new year.
Captain Tokugawa, please say hello to the crew members on the ship."
"."
East side of the peninsula.
Shari County, Xiaoqingshui Town.
Higashino Yukino, who went out to the village early in the morning to pay New Year greetings, happily returned home with a bunch of red envelopes. She and Nishimaru Miria sat on the kotatsu in the living room, watching TV and opening the red envelopes and counting the money.
"Can you tell me later that these are all for you?" Suddenly, Xiaodou Ding's Higashino Yukinokaru rolled his eyes, turned his head and said to Nishimaru Miria who was sitting next to the kotatsu.
"Ah? But these are yours." Nishimaru Miria said quickly.
"No, no, no! I mean it's yours for the time being, and you can secretly return it to me later." Higashino Yukino pouted angrily with her round face, "Huh! Mom and Dad have to confiscate my red envelope every New Year.
.”
"What about you, will your father confiscate it?" She asked Nishimaru Miria again.
Nishimaru Miria was slightly startled and said hesitantly, "Probably. No way."
Tokugawa Ritora was very nice to her, and he didn't look like he would confiscate her red envelope.
As for the former Shunsuke Nishimaru, Miria Nishimaru has never received any new year's money in just a few years since she was born, so of course there is no confiscation.
"Oh, I really envy you."
Little Douding, who didn't understand why, held his chin and sighed. When he turned his head, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Hey, look! It's Team Leader Tokugawa! Your father is on TV."
Nishimaru Miria turned around and took a look, only to see a familiar man with a tall figure and a majestic and resolute face on the TV standing on the deck of the bow of the ship waving to the camera.
This scene was quickly broadcast through NHK's television signal to families all over Wano who gathered together to watch TV on the first day of the new year.
Soldiers guard the borders, and the people can live in peace.
The aura of Tokugawa Ritora standing in the deep and mountainous position on the bow of the ship like a fierce tiger entrenched, just looking at it, without saying a word, gives people a very secure feeling.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, outdoor reporter Makoto Funatari suddenly let out a startled sound in the live broadcast camera, and his tone became more surprised as the camera zoomed in closer.
"Eh? What's that over there? Wait! Oh! There's one behind it too! A few more ships are coming over there."
In the picture, only the offshore waters of the Nemuro Strait can be seen. A dozen dark and cold light warships are like ghosts crawling out of the deep sea hell. They silently come from all directions and search the place where Tokugawa Ritora is.
Warships were surrounded in the middle.
So it’s a comfortable and peaceful first day of the new year.
Countless Wano TV viewers looked at the black unicorn warships on the screen with astonished faces and the unicorn skull flag flying on the ship.
They quickly realized what was happening.
"It's the pirates!"
But wait!
Why would a pirate group appear in the Nemuro Strait?
This is the Shari coast of Hokkaido. There is naval defense in the north. How did they get around it?
More importantly, don't these pirates know that the warship is carrying Wano's colorful tiger that has been in New Tokyo for many years and moved to the North Sea?
Shocked, confused and confused.
All kinds of different emotions came to everyone's mind.
At the same time, Shari Port.
Higashinohara just arrived by shuttle bus.
According to the location mentioned by Ryukawa Guritora on the phone, he found a middle-aged man at the logistics office of the port. The man took him in very politely and took out a black rectangular package and placed it on the table.
"Excuse me, what is this?" Higashinohara asked.
"I don't know, Team Leader Tokugawa didn't say anything." The man shook his head, apologized, and went out to do other things.
Higashinohara waited until the other party left, then his eyes fell on the long black package again. He walked up with some curiosity and used the blade next to him to open and seal the package.
After the dismantling was completed, he discovered that there was actually a bronze sword box in front of him - he had seen some precious ancient swords stored in such a box in the weapon shop in New Tokyo.
Is it a katana?
Higashinohara clicked the hidden buckle on the sword case.
In an instant, there was a rustling sound of gears opening and closing, and then he gently opened the sword box, and a cold and sharp aura suddenly enveloped the small room.
Dong Yeyuan's heart trembled slightly.
He lowered his head and looked down, and what jumped into his eyes was an ancient black-gold double-edged sword with a strange shape and dense patterns. It was a bit like a Western sword from the previous life, but it was lighter and more agile in appearance, and the handle looked like sycamore wood.
It is made of mithril handles wrapped around the outside.
Lifelike fire phoenix wings stretch out on the sword tann. The sword body has double blades on the left and right. The flowing cloud pattern on the blade edge is like a beautiful craft relief.
However, the ray of clear light shining in from the window fell on the blade, and it gurgled and rolled down like a clear spring in a mountain stream, silently indicating that this was not a flashy handicraft.
Rather, it is a terrifying weapon capable of taking life and death.
Higashinohara noticed that there were still a few lines of words engraved in the sword box, and leaned over slightly to look at it intently.
“In the year 781 of the Tianyuan calendar, the famous Kyoto craftsman Zamen Shouye used meteorite iron to forge the Kyoto Supreme Knife with twelve skills. The sword was combined into one sword and divided into double blades, so it was called the Yin and Yang Double Blades, also known as the Phoenix Wings.
blade"
Higashinohara silently read the words on the sword box.
He gently stroked the blade with his right hand, feeling the cold texture of the meteorite iron. When his index finger slid to the blade where the fire phoenix wings were stretched, he gently pressed against the machine frame below.
Click!
Without any warning, the double-edged ancient sword in the sword box suddenly split in half from the middle and turned into two swords.
Dong Yeyuan couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly.
The small room where he was alone suddenly fell into an inexplicable silence.
