Chapter 14: Harm to the country and village justice
"As you said, I am from Wano, but now I am just an unknown wanderer on the sea." Sasaki said.
"I heard that Wano Country is a closed country. How did you get out?"
"It's hard to look back on the past..." Sasaki took another sip of wine.
"Hey, hey, let's talk about your own affairs, Major Annan."
Hagrid said with a smile.
"Me? What do I have to talk about?"
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Roger Hagrid. Of course, you definitely don't know me, so let me introduce myself in another way." Hagrid cleared his throat and continued.
"I am the first officer of the Hammer Pirates."
With a flash of silver light, Annan slashed at Hagrid.
Clang!
Sasaki drew his sword to hold Annan at bay, "I'm sorry, but it's indeed against the samurai's ways to interfere in this matter, but I have made an agreement with Lord Hagrid to protect him."
"I came back to the South China Sea specifically for the secret treasure, and then I sensed you. The unintentional move you made many years ago actually had unexpected results."
"Major Annan, to be honest, I'm surprised. No one thought that the kid a few years ago would grow up so fast."
"A naval swordsman in his twenties has an unlimited future. Before you become successful, of course you have to nip it in the bud. I don't want to experience the same experience as Doflamingo."
Hagrid's right hand emits a little white light.
"I am a parasite who ate the parasite fruit. By marking a person's body, I can sense the person's aura and strength. If the host dies, his fruit power will be transferred to me."
"I disappoint you." Annan pushed Sasaki away with all his strength and sheathed the sword.
"I haven't obtained the Devil Fruit yet."
"It doesn't matter, I already have a better one." Hagrid laughed.
"I originally thought that I would find a chance to deal with you after I obtained the secret treasure, but I didn't expect that you would also be attracted by the secret treasure."
"I'm not doing it for that."
Annan took a few steps back, holding the scabbard with his left hand and the handle with his right hand, leaning forward.
"Iaijutsu? It just so happens that I have also dabbled in it."
Sasaki also assumes the Iai pose.
"Secret Sword·Steel Flash!"
"Ii-ryu·Iai!"
Whoa!
The two sides passed each other.
Looking at Sasaki who turned around to take the knife, Annan clicked his tongue, his eyes were solemn, and he covered his chest with his backhand. Under the cover of domineering, there was still a scar there.
Based on his knowledge, he could not fully capture the movement of his sword.
Too fast!
A streak of blood appeared on Sasaki's cheek, "Steel Flash, a sword move specifically designed to break the opponent's weapon? It's a pity that I have no use for it."
He raised the katana in his hand.
"It's a pity that a genius like you doesn't have a famous sword to accompany you." Sasaki said regretfully.
Annan's eyes narrowed slightly, "Yes, but you are just like me. That sword doesn't seem to recognize you as its holder."
"You are truly a swordsman," Sasaki admired. "Wandering around the world, one of the things I do is to find an owner for this famous sword."
Sasaki slowly drew his famous sword.
The mirror-like blade reflects Sasaki's thin face.
"'Muramasa', one of the twenty-one weapons of the Great Knife, is a symbol of disaster for the country in Wano."
"The sword that brings disaster to the country, you are also a person with stories. It's a pity that I don't have wine here."
Annan took a deep breath, a red light flashed in his eyes, and the color of seeing and hearing was turned on.
"Hagrid should have told you about me. As a samurai, you should know that I will fight to the death against him and the pirate group he belongs to."
Sasaki nodded: "Killing my parents is a sworn hatred. Originally, I would not interfere in such a matter, but unfortunately, Hagrid saved my life."
Sasaki turned back to Hagrid and said: "Please leave here, the next battle will inevitably affect you."
"As you wish." Hagrid nodded lightly and then disappeared.
What is this bastard's ability? Teleport?
Annan didn't think about it carefully.
In the island woods, a battle between swordsmen is about to begin.
Sasaki held up Muramasa and said: "Sasaki Musashi uses one of the twenty-one great swordsmanship, the Taishou 'Muramasa'."
Annan pulled out his saber and said: "August Annan uses a naval officer's standard saber."
The two looked at each other dozens of meters apart. Without any warning or even an initial movement, the two long knives with different shapes collided together.
I saw cracks in the ground splitting like a spider web, and in an instant, countless sword lights shot out overwhelmingly.
Annan was suppressed, and Sasaki knocked Annan back dozens of meters with a knife.
Muramasa firmly suppressed Annan's saber.
"No self flows·drizzle!"
Sasaki shouted low, deflected the blade, and sharp slashes came to Annan's eyes one after another.
Annan's eyes were cold, with a long-lost excitement hidden deep in his eyes, and he drew the saber with two fingers.
"Secret Sword·Break the Water Flow!"
A black-gold slash came across the sky, offsetting the incoming slashes, and crossed the sky and headed straight for Sasaki.
Sasaki held Muramasa with both hands, exerted force on his waist, and swung out the knife.
"No Self-flow·Tian Chong!"
The jet-black flying slash quickly extended from the direction in which he swung the sword, forming a crescent shape, smoothly cutting through Annan's slash, and then the crescent moon quickly turned into gas and spread towards Annan's side.
This is a domineering slash that utilizes the hardening of weapon color to the extreme, and is combined with Sasaki's unique gaseous slash.
To deal with this kind of attack, we can only fight head-on.
Annan raised the sword high above his head, wrapping it with domineering force. He slashed with all his strength from top to bottom.
"Cut with one word!"
The trees broke and smoke and dust flew everywhere. When the view became clear again, the two men's swords collided together again, making a crisp sound of sword collision.
The two figures kept moving together, the shadows of knives flew, the earth sank during the battle between the two, and the air was distorted.
Pong!
The two separated.
At this moment, the fighting area has moved from the woods to the seaside. The ground collapsed and seawater poured in. Both of them stepped in the seawater.
"Poof!" Annan spat out a mouthful of blood and half-knelt with the saber in both hands.
Even with the domineering body protection, various parts of the body are obviously covered with stab wounds.
Annan looked at the saber. Although it was wrapped with domineering power, the small gap in the blade was also particularly eye-catching.
The long sword wrapped with domineering power can withstand all his power, but it cannot withstand attacks of the same level, let alone a head-on confrontation with a famous sword.
If you insist on ten swords at most, it will be broken.
"You can't hold on long, and your sword can't hold on." Sasaki said with a hint of regret.
"I started practicing my swordsmanship when I was seven years old, and it has been forty-five years now." Sasaki stood with his sword in hand.
"Although it has been more than ten years and my swordsmanship has deteriorated, I have to admit that there are differences between people."
"Oden is like this, Hawkeye man is like this, and you are like this too."
"You are all swordsman geniuses."
"It's a pity that today I have to kill a genius with my own hands."
Sasaki slowly pulled out Muramasa, and a strange red light appeared on Muramasa's blade.
"The famous sword 'Muramasa', no, it should be called the demon sword 'Murasame'."
"Your Excellency Annan, I will use it to end your life."
