Seeing Wood blocking him in front of him, Kanjuro was obviously stunned for a moment at first, because he didn't know how Wood found him among the ink clouds that blocked his sight and visibility.
Kanjuro didn't know much about Wood, but he also knew quite well that if the opponent could actually obtain the title of "Yonko", then he was obviously not a character he could defeat.
And under the current situation, Kanjuro did not dare to have too much entanglement with Wood, so he started to sweep the Tsuji Shimai with the brush in his hand, and soon the ink cloud in the sky suddenly shot out arrows made of thick ink.
As these arrows condensed from the ink cloud, they exploded towards Wood at extremely fast speeds.
In this narrow space, Kanjuro was quite confident in his move. Now Wood could either avoid it and make way for him to escape, or he could only be riddled with holes by Moyu arrows.
With such a close distance and such a dense number of Moyu arrows, even a powerful swordsman, Kanjuro believed that the opponent would never be able to successfully resist it.
"I've said it before. If you want to escape from me with such trivial skills, then you are looking down on me too much."
Facing the dense rain of ink that shot towards him, Wood did not choose to dodge, or even pull out the long knife from his waist. Instead, he just held the handle of the knife with one hand, and stretched forward with the other hand. The next second he was awe-inspiring.
A chill suddenly broke out in the room.
"Holy level ice attribute magic·Breath of winter!"
A bone-chilling cold wind burst out from Wood's forward-stretched palm, and the violent cold current enveloped all the ink rain that swept towards him in an instant.
And almost in an instant, the rain of ink sprayed by Kanjuro's brush was frozen almost instantly, and fell directly to the ground, turning into black ice shards all over the sky.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Kanjuro was also stunned. However, before he could make the next move, Wood, who was still some distance away from him, suddenly appeared in front of him in the next second.
And with lightning speed, he reached out and grabbed Kanjuro's neck, and lifted him up with one hand.
As for Wood's other hand, it was just moved to the side. A strong wind swept the entire place instantly. The ink cloud that originally blocked everyone's sight was blown away by the strong wind.
When everyone who had been disgraced by Mo Yun regained their clarity of vision, they had already seen the scene where Wood grabbed Kanjuro with one hand and lifted him up.
Kanjuro, who was choked by Wood and lifted up with one hand, naturally thought about breaking free because he felt the pain of suffocation.
But no matter how much he waved the paintbrush Tsuji Shimei covered with armed domineering force in his hand, and hit Wood, it only made a muffled sound of "bang bang bang".
It was as if what he was striking now was not a human body, but an extremely hard alloy steel.
"Sir Wood, I have a request, that is, can Kanjuro, the traitor, be handed over to someone below?
We are also deeply sorry for Kanjuro's betrayal, but after all he is a traitor to the Kozuki family, and we want to end it personally, so as to give an explanation to the deceased Kozuki Oden-sama."
Seeing that Kanjuro was about to die in Wood's hands, the Kinmen guards and others on the side suddenly bowed to Wood and said please.
Jinmenwei and others would hope that Wood would be merciful. Naturally, they did not want to let Kanjuro survive, but wanted to end it with their own hands.
At the same time, their current attitude, tone, and posture are also quite low, because the Kinmen Guards and others are also very clear that although this is their home field, Wano Country, they no longer have the final say here.
If it were the Straw Hats, the other party might not refuse out of consideration of their previous friendship.
But if the target is Wood, the situation is different. They don't have much friendship with Wood, and the traitor appears in their group, so Jinmenwei and others can only use a tone of discussion and pleading at this moment.
Please.
It’s okay not to ask for help. In just a few rounds of brief battles between Kanjuro and Wood, Kinmenwei and the others discovered that there was an absolute gap between them and Wood.
This kind of gap is no longer simply a matter of strength, but it is not a level difference at all.
After being a companion for so many years, Kinmonsui and others are quite aware of Kanjuro's strength.
It can only be said that his strength may not be the strongest among the "Nine Red Scabbard Men", but he is definitely among the best.
But with such strength, when Kanjuro faced Wood just now, he was defeated in just a few rounds, and was even controlled by the opponent without the ability to fight back.
This alone is enough for Jinmenwei and others to judge that even if their former "Nine Red Scabbards" gather together, they may not be able to compete with Wood alone.
The man in front of them may even be stronger than their original lord Kozuki Oden!
"You want to execute the traitor with your own hands? I see, is that the spirit of Bushido?
Although it’s a bit boring, I don’t care too much about whose hands this guy dies.”
Hearing the contempt for the Bushido spirit of Wano Country in Wood's words, Kinmonwei and others also looked ugly.
But the situation is stronger than people. Wood is the boss here now. Even if Wood speaks a little harshly, they can't say anything more.
Kanjuro, who was about to suffocate, was thrown aside by Wood like garbage at this moment.
The latter's face, which was originally flushed due to suffocation, began to breathe heavily at this moment, greedily absorbing the oxygen in the air, and looked at Wood with a look of fear at this moment.
"Kanjuro, pick up your Tsuji Death Plum and end it with me!"
Even as a friend and companion, and the leader of the "Nine Red Scabbard Men", the Kinmen Guards also pulled out the two sabers of "Associate Sheath" and "Kakusana" and stood in front of Kanjuro and said this.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Looking at the Kinmen guard in front of him, Kanjuro, who had recovered, did not refuse at this moment, but stood up directly and clenched the hand in his hand.
Paintbrush "Tsuji Death Plum".
Tsuji Shimei is actually a sword, and the brush part is actually just the scabbard. As a samurai from Wano, Kanjuro also has considerable swordsmanship.
"Since it's a duel, if I win, can I leave alive?"
Hearing Kanjuro's words, Kinmen Guards, who was already prepared to wake up, suddenly showed a confused look on his face.
Now that it is time to make a decision, it will be a situation where you die or I die. But if Kanjuro defeats himself, can he really leave safely?
"I'm sorry, this is not something I can promise you, because this is no longer something we can decide.
What we can do now is make you die a little more dignified."
Hearing the words of Jinmenwei, Kanjuro could not help but show a look of ridicule on his face: "In other words, is this a duel where I know that I will die?
Instead of using the lives of both parties as bargaining chips, no matter whether I win or not, I will die in the end?
If that's the case, why don't you all just do it together, so that I can win the reputation of being one against many."
Hearing Kanjuro's sarcasm, the Kinmen Guards didn't say anything, but Raizo and Kikunoshi who were on the side could no longer listen.
"Kanjuro, don't be ungrateful. You are just a traitor. If the Kinmen guard hadn't missed your old relationship, you would have died of frustration just now.
Now being able to let you die in the hands of fellow Wano warriors, and also die in a duel, is enough to give you face, but you actually..."
"Interesting, although this guy is a traitor, I think what he said does make sense.
Even if it is a duel, it is impossible not to have chips. Such a duel would be too boring.
And even if he knew he was going to die, how could he use all his strength to survive when there was no chance of survival?
I promise you, as long as you can kill the Jinmen Guards in battle, then I will let you leave alive."
Hearing Wood's sudden words, everyone present was stunned. The expressions of Kikuchi Cheng, Ahe and others became even more ugly at this moment.
Because the condition for Wood to let Kanjuro leave alive is not to defeat the Kinmon Guards, but to kill the Kinmon Guards!
"How is this possible..."
Ahe and Kikunocheng, who looked at Wood, wanted to say something, but they were interrupted by Wood just halfway through their words.
"It's fair, isn't it? Since it's a duel, then naturally either you die or I die. This is the bushido you advocate, right?
Even if it's over, there's no reason to let Kanjuro risk his life alone, right?
And if Kanjuro was allowed to leave alive, would Kinmon Guards also be responsible for this? After all, he could have killed him, but he let the traitorous retainer run away and so on.
Of course, if you want to cancel the duel, it's okay for me to kill Kanjuro, so you don't have to risk your lives with him."
Wood's meaning is very clear, that is, if Kinmonwei and others want to follow Wano Country's rules, they must be aware of this.
If there is no need to pay any price for winning or losing, then what kind of duel is it? There are no such good things in the world.
"Well, I suddenly feel that Wood has become so evil..."
Looking at Wood with a playful look on his face, Chopper and Usopp on the side immediately hugged each other and trembled.
At the moment, Wood does look like a villain, because his intention is clearly to let Kanjuro and Kinmonwei fight each other.
Forget it about Kanjuro, aren't the Kinmen Guards one of their own now?
"I think there is nothing wrong with Wood's approach. If Jinmenwei refuses, I will look down on him."
Wanting to compare with Chopper, Usopp and the others, Zoro on the side quite approved of Wood's approach.
Just like when he challenged Hawkeye in the East China Sea, even a duel would naturally involve life and death.
He lost to Hawkeye in a duel, so he received a blow from the other side. Kinmen and the others wanted to give Kanjuro an honorable death by recalling their old friendship, and at the same time save the face of the Kozuki family, but they didn't want to pay any price for it.
There is such a cheap thing.
"Master Jinmenwei, please let me go. Sister Ahe has been waiting for you for twenty years. You can't keep her waiting any longer."
It is impossible to back down. Killing the traitor Kanjuro with your own hands is also for the glory and face of the Kozuki family. If even the traitor has to be dealt with by others, then how can the Kozuki family gain a foothold in Wano in the future.
This is their duty as retainers of the Kozuki family, and it is also the will of their "nine men with red sheaths".
But Ahe waited for Kinmonsagi who traveled through time and space, and waited for twenty years without getting married. This friendship is really touching, so Kikuchijo wanted to take the place of Kinmonsagi at this moment.
He is also one of the "Nine Red Scabbard Men". If he kills Kanjuro, he will not harm the Kozuki family's face.
"No, as the leader of the 'Nine Red Scabbard Men', this is an unshirkable responsibility for me!
I am willing to accept Lord Wood’s suggestion, Kanjuro, if you want to leave alive, just kill me who stands in your way!”
Naturally, Kinmonwei would not agree to Raizo's request to exchange players with Kikunojo.
On the one hand, it was because he truly believed that this was the duty he should perform as a retainer, and on the other hand, the Kinmen Guards knew very well that Raizo and Kikinoshima might not be Kanjuro's opponents.
"Ahe, if I really die unfortunately, then please forget about me and find a good family to marry."
Suddenly, like a bloody drama at eight o'clock, Wood appeared speechless. He didn't seem to have done anything wrong, right? Why did Mao make him look like a villain now?
"Devil!" - Nami
"A machine without emotions!"——Frankie
"Executioner!"——Chopper
"A scumbag who doesn't know how to be romantic!"——Sanji
"The terrifying big devil!"——Usopp
"Heartless..., well, I don't seem to have a heart either."——Brooke
"The Two Swordsman Swordsman!"——Luffy.
"Luffy, the two-sword swordsman is not a curse word." Usopp corrected.
"That ancient weapon..."
Wood: "(￣?￣), hey, please stop it in moderation!"
Wood felt powerless against the complaints made by the members of the Straw Hat Pirates. He was obviously a positive figure, but now he was acting like a villain.
"The drama of love is over here. If you don't take action again, then let me do it!"
Wood was quite dissatisfied as he looked at the Kinmen Guards who kept adding drama to him. He knew that with the strength of the Kinmen Guards, he had a very good chance of winning against Kanjuro, but now he was here to act a sensational drama for me, taking advantage of the situation.
Increase the girl's favorability.
"Ruthless killer!"
"A rotten man destined to die alone!"
…
Hearing the voices of people thinking behind him, Wood turned back to look at the living treasures of the Straw Hat Pirates.
"If you continue to slander me, after their duel is over, it will be my turn to duel with you!
Then you will know what it means to be a truly heartless man!"
Hearing the threatening words, Nami and the others, who were still thinking about it just now, instantly shut up. Luffy, on the other hand, heard that there was going to be a duel and originally said something with excitement, but was soon stopped by Nami's "
