"Hmm......"

The sharp pain in his head made the young man almost unable to open his eyes, there are thousands of monsters in this world who are not drunk, but there are also waste scum that are poured after a cup, and Yihuang obviously belongs to the latter.

Crawling out of the ruins of the tavern, Yihuang didn't realize exactly when he was buried alive underneath, but he didn't care about it.

"Hmm...... Where did you go......"

After all, he was a swordsman who had achieved great cultivation, and after his consciousness was clear, many discomforts in his body began to dissipate in a very short period of time and returned to normal.

“————！”

When he noticed it, Yihuang had already instinctively held the sword in his hand, and swept away the gloomy color when drinking, and Yihuang showed his edge at this moment.

It was too natural posture, and the man who appeared in a dashing manner at some point was too hostile, and at the same time, there was no space to believe. The man with his back to the moon, that detached posture made Yihuang feel cold to the bone.

Sweat oozed from his forehead, not because he was afraid, but because the other party's gorgeous dress was familiar to him. It was called Jinhaoori, and in this great voyage, no, even in the whole world, there was only one place where such a gorgeous but unique style could be made.

The man wore a long black ponytail and his temples hung down to his collarbone, and he was quite handsome, and if he used beautiful words to describe a man, he would probably be a derogatory term, but if it was reflected in this man, it would seem like this. He wears a lilac kimono and two red-sheathed swords pinned to his waist.

Ryuzaki Kazuki couldn't perceive anything from this man, neither oppressive nor murderous, but it was precisely because he couldn't perceive anything that he was extremely terrifying.

"Stop...... What are you......"

Of course, the man with a calm step would not stand still obediently, and he walked forward with a smile like a spring breeze, and his magnetic voice sounded like a song.

"Tsuryu, Kojiro Tsuda, well, it's okay to call me Kojiro~"

The response made Yihuang deliberately calm and shaken, like a stupid cat that had been trampled on its tail, with a horizontal sword in his chest, full of vigilance.

"Torrent...... Is the rumored swordsman who slays the dragon really exists...... What is your purpose?! ”

"Heh~ sinner, why do you knowingly ask?"

"Goo......

Talking about a conversation that only the two of them could understand, the distance between the two was already only a few steps.

Yihuang clenched the hilt of his sword, but he could not pull it out. The man in front of him is an enemy, and after confirming the identity of the other party, there is no room for negotiation. The reason why he didn't draw his sword now was not because of how powerful the other party was, nor because of his terrifying murderous aura.

It was precisely because he was a fellow swordsman that he realized that the gap between himself and this man, he was not frightened by the rumored name, but after experiencing it himself, he could understand that his sword could not touch this man, even if he drew his sword, it would not help.

Because he is also a swordsman, when his thoughts are tossing and turning but only a moment in reality, his state of mind calmed down, if the rumors are true, the man in front of him may be the most majestic mountain in the way of the sword, as a swordsman, he wants to ...... Try ...... The moment he held the cold sword, his heart was filled with unprecedented passion!

Yihuang's mind was clear, and he abandoned all distractions and finally transformed into a simple will: swing the sword!

Without reservation, Ryuzaki Yihuang poured everything into this sword, and the transparent sword body shone with dazzling light! As the legend goes, when the Meteor Blade flashes, nothing remains!

The man who called himself Kojiro still had that calm smile, and when he saw the crystal clear blade radiating brilliance, a glimmer of brilliance flashed in his eyes, and at the same time as he stabbed out of the sword, he also stabbed out with a sword!

Compared with the full force of the blow made by Ichiaki at the limit, Kojiro only took a step forward, looking as if he leaned over to Ichiaki's sword and committed suicide, he indifferently regarded his life and death as nothing, or had an absolute chance of winning, and before the blade of nothingness cut itself in half, he stabbed the sword into Yihuang's heart without a trace of superfluous movements!

It wasn't a subtle skill, but it was impeccable! If it was just like this, Yihuang's blade would still kill Kojiro according to inertia, but in reality, Yihuang's body was violently knocked out as if it had been hit by a battering ram!

Ryuzaki Kazuaki's body smashed the remaining half of the tavern to pieces like a figure thrown out by a urchin.

Scarred, he stopped breathing after his momentum stopped.

There was no breath in his eyes, he couldn't breathe, and his heart stopped suddenly...... Heart?

When the consciousness that had fallen into darkness realized this, Ryuzaki Kazuki jumped up from the ground like a corpse, and he began to breathe in pain as he clutched his heart.

The heart began to beat again, the heart is still there, not pierced by a sharp blade?

Although his left chest was in severe pain, there was indeed no penetrating injury, and even the clothes on his chest were not torn!

All these reactions were only three or four seconds, and when Ikki turned his gaze to Kojiro, he found that the other party had already stood calmly, and what he was holding in his right hand was just a fragile willow branch.

Myself...... Was that what you were hit?

Ryuzaki Kazuki's mind was blank at the moment, although it was only a few seconds, he did step on the ghost door with one foot, Kojiro did not cause him a fatal injury, not even the injury did not exist, but when the willow branch pierced Yihuang's heart, at that moment, his consciousness, body, instinct, everything gave him a death verdict, if he hadn't woken up in time at the last moment, he might have really died silently like this.

The swordsman named Kojiro didn't care about what he saw, he showed a gentle smile, calmly looked at the fragile willow branch in his hand, and turned his hand slightly, and the willow branch quietly broke from the middle position.

He took the severed cut of the willow branch in front of him, as if he wanted to take a closer look, the willow branch he stabbed at Yihuang did not make any contact with Yihuang's blade, but the sword aura that burst out when the young man approached him cut off the willow branch.

After watching it carefully, he didn't comment on it. As a warrior of Wano Country, he was not satisfied with his martial arts with the strength of a small country, so he embarked on a journey to hone his skills. During the journey, he learned about the new owner of the Mutsu Mamoru Meteor Blade, Ryuzaki Kazuki, so he came.

It was some kind of accident or inevitable result, and he, who lived under the "company" for the time being, deliberately spent some time looking for a trace of Yihuang.

He found his goal and got the result.

It is still a green fruit, which has shown its excellent nature and potential, but it still needs time and experience to polish it.

Kojiro is not interested in the affairs of Wano Country, and he doesn't even have the slightest sense of belonging to the fact that he is a citizen of that country, he just devotes himself to the blade of the sword, honing his skills as he pleases until the other side. Therefore, he did not have any special hatred for Yihuang, and after confirming that Yihuang did not have the ability to compete with him at the moment, he was ready to leave.

Without saying a word, he didn't look at Ryuzaki Kazuaki anymore, like a certain wayward captain, this swordsman was the kind of person who only cared about what he thought for a moment, and didn't care about the impact his actions would have on his surroundings.

Faced with such a he, Yihuang had no reaction. Because he is also a swordsman, when Kojiro defeats himself with only one willow branch, that frustration can easily destroy the sword heart of any swordsman, and he needs time to calm down and accept this fact.

Suddenly, a crow falling from the sky smashed in front of Kojiro Tsuda, blocking his way, which was very unlucky.

Kojiro recognized the crow as the negotiator of Monsieur de Ace, Mr. Curang. Kojiro was impressed by the rare Devil Fruit ability that he possessed, and at this moment, Mr. Kurang, who maintained his human body, turned his hands into wings, and his feet turned into hooked claws, had a turquoise spear stuck in his chest and nailed to the ground!

Not a single drop of blood came out of its wound, and it was unknown what caused it, but its chest was covered in ice.

In a moment, the thin Wren fell from the sky and stood firmly at the end of the spear, his cold gaze condescendingly looking down at Kojiro who was smiling indifferently.
