The bloody hand Mary of the pirate

"Hiyori-sama, please go and take refuge quickly."

After leaving the general's mansion, Denjiro took a deep breath, stopped walking, and turned to look at Hiyori.

"...Run? Where should I run?"

Hiyori looked into Denjiro's eyes and asked.

"Anywhere is fine." Denjiro replied, "Stay away from the Flower City and away from Wano Country."

"The sea is vast, and there will definitely be a place that can accept you, Hiyori-sama. Now it seems that Kaido can't help but want to destroy this land."

"...If nothing unexpected happens, the country of Wano will most likely be..."

Denjiro smiled bitterly.

"It's two years early. The prophecy... is indeed unreliable."

Then, he straightened his face and said seriously:

"I am a samurai, a samurai who once served His Highness Oden."

"I should have died with His Highness Oden eighteen years ago. However, Mrs. Shi's prophecy is still in my ears. I have endured the humiliation for eighteen years for this prophecy that overturned everything..."

When he said this, he turned to look at the flames spreading in Huadu.

Smiling self-deprecatingly.

"Now it seems that it is just wishful thinking."

"The hope of Wano's restoration is already slim. Nine shadows fall from the sky, nine shadows fall from the sky... The nine shadows now don't have any bad omen, but the dazzling dawn has arrived in a different way."

"It's time for me to die for the country of Wano. I will delay even a little bit of time for the people of Huadu. Hiyori-sama, you must learn to be strong from now on... take care of yourself."

Having said that, Denjiro no longer lingered, raised his sword, and walked towards Kaido resolutely.

"etc……"

Suddenly, Hiyori grabbed Denjiro.

Denjiro looked back and saw Hiyori clutching her chest tightly, as if she had made a difficult decision, and whispered:

"I won't leave..."

"Why?" Denjiro opened his eyes slightly.

"...Although the ocean is huge, there is no second Wano Country."

Hiyori said softly.

"There are thousands of people in the world, but there is no Denjiro who can protect my safety."

Hearing this, Denjiro's breath suffocated.

After a while, he hurriedly said:

"Never act out of anger, Hiyori-sama."

"You are His Highness Oden's only remaining descendant in this world. If there is anything wrong with you, I..."

"I don't act out of anger!"

Hiyori interrupted Denjiro:

"Denjiro, do you think I can live and work in this troubled world without you?"

"Or do you think I will be afraid of facing Kaido?"

"I am the daughter of a samurai. When the country of Wano is in danger, I have no choice but to go."

"Denjiro..."

Hiyori said solemnly to Denjiro:

"Don't fight to die...I'm still alive."

"I will not leave this battle, and I will do my best."

After saying that, she pushed Denjiro away.

While turning around, he said:

"Go quickly..."

Denjiro stared blankly at Hiyori who turned around and walked away towards the Shogun's Mansion. He was stunned for a moment.

Then, he lowered his head and knelt heavily in front of Hiyori.

Then, he quickly stood up and headed straight for Kaido!

…

"Sure enough, I still haven't recovered from that guy's attack..."

Kaido looked at the burning flower city and snorted in dissatisfaction.

In his expectation, if his breath of heat continues, the entire Huadu will be razed. At least half of the Huadu will be burned down to be barely worthy of his own strength.

But right now, I'm afraid it only covers one-fifth of Huadu. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to hear the black charcoal serpent yelling blindly just now.

It seems that the injuries caused by the previous battle with Long, Zefa, and Magellan have not yet been fully resolved. That guy Long... obviously didn't use Haki at all, but he was actually so flexible.

It was as if the sky was completely his home ground, almost all attacks could not touch him, and he actually controlled his own bad wind to attack him... What a difficult opponent.

"Today's Wano Country is so poor and weak... Is it true that in the land where Oden once appeared, there is no one who dares to step forward to stop me?"

Kaido couldn't help but feel a little melancholy when he looked at the tragedy.

All said and done, aside from anything else, he still admired Oden's strength.

Moreover, after all, Wano has been in business for so long. When he destroyed Wano with his own hands, he who advocated violence was actually looking forward to a hearty battle.

It's a pity that in today's Wano country, eighteen years later, not only does no one have Oden's power, but no one even has the courage to fight him. It is really disappointing... huh?

Just when Kaido was about to take a breath of hot breath, a speeding figure flashed across the corner of his eye.

"...Hoho," Kaido's eyes lit up, "It's not like he doesn't have any backbone at all."

"This guy looks familiar. Is he someone who has fought with me?"

"Forget it... Since you dare to charge at me, let me test your strength!"

Kaido, who was happy to see the hunter, also left the people who were fleeing in embarrassment. When there were people who did not know life or death who challenged him, crushing those weak ones could no longer arouse Kaido's interest.

His huge body pressed directly against the charging figure, and he was met with a blast of hot breath.

"boom!!!"

Feeling the extremely high temperature rapidly approaching, Denjiro's pupils shrank and he lowered his body.

Then, his steps moved, bursting out with incredible speed, and he managed to dodge the heat breath. The scorching flames passed by him.

"Well..."

The flames burned through his clothes and scorched a piece of his flesh, causing him to let out a muffled groan.

However, the severe pain aroused his ferocity even more!

He kicked his feet suddenly, his body was as fast as the wind, and the heat had not dissipated, and he had crossed a distance of several hundred meters.

"Let's settle the grudges from eighteen years ago..."

"Kaido!!!"

He rushed under Kaido, his body suddenly spun, and his sharp sword slashed straight at Kaido.

"Heibei-ryu·Asaichimonji!"

The sharp sword light flew out in the air, and gradually condensed into a slender silver line under the pressure of the air. It made a harsh scream in the air, and struck Kaido's scales with a clang!

"Um?"

Kaido felt the pain coming from underneath his body.

Strange, this feeling...

"puff!"

The sharp knife wind penetrated Kaido's body along the scales, and then expanded instantly!

A blood flower bloomed under Kaido!

"roar!"

Kaido roared in shock and anger, and as soon as he said that, Denjiro jumped up from Kaido's side without any hesitation. Before the Asahimoji swelled, he had already appeared on Kaido's side.

around!

Holding knives in both hands, he roared, veins popping out on his face.

As if he had exhausted all his strength, the knife in his hand was pulled from top to bottom like a meteor.

A mighty white sword energy washed towards Kaido in a wave shape!

"Hebei-ryu Mizushima Shirami!"

This sword was not about power, but about its momentum. The sword energy was wrapped in the atmosphere and struck Kaido with great force, causing him to lose his balance for a moment.

The expansion of Chaoyijimonji even caught Kaido off guard for a while.

A huge explosion occurred at this moment, and the white smoke spread suddenly, forming a strong wind that blew towards Denjiro.

Denjiro shook violently in mid-air and hit the ground, barely able to regain his footing.

He managed to hold the knife in front of him, opened his eyes and looked in front of him.

In the center of the smoke, a huge column of black smoke hit Denjiro with lightning speed!

Denjiro's expression perked up and he immediately jumped up, holding the long knife under his body.

The mace wrapped in pitch-black lightning passed under him, and the huge impact hit Denjiro through the air, throwing him violently away!

Before Denjiro could recover, a huge figure rose into the air and hit Denjiro with a stick!

Denjiro had no choice but to put the long knife in front of him as he had no time to react.

"boom!"

"puff!"

The mace hit the long knife through a gap of air, and Denjiro immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

Then, the stick was swung out boldly, and Denjiro flew backwards faster than when he came in!

After smashing several houses in a row, Denjiro finally stopped when he hit a wall of earth and stone.

"...ahem..."

He pulled his body out from the earth and rocks with difficulty, coughed out two mouthfuls of blood, and stood up shakily.

Looking at the long sword that was still buzzing and seemed a little overwhelmed, Denjiro laughed sadly.

"Sure enough...the gap is still too big."

"boom!"

The huge figure crashed down in front of him, and a huge cloud of dust rolled up.

"..."

The dust slowly dispersed, and a ferocious-looking man stood in front of him.

Kaido in human-animal form.

There was no need to use his human-animal form to deal with Denjiro, but out of respect for a man who dared to die, Kaido still planned to use some strength.

Moreover, the person in front of me is still an acquaintance.

He looked familiar at first, but the two sword blows just made Kaido quickly remember the identity of the person in front of him.

"...It's been a long time. What's the name of those samurai warriors who are somewhat capable? Denjiro, right?"

Kaido grinned: "I didn't expect that among these decadent samurai today, the most courageous one is actually a veteran of the former dynasty."

"That insect like the big snake really doesn't know how to govern a country."

"You two...are nothing more than half a pound of weight."

Denjiro coughed twice, raised his sword, and looked at Kaido solemnly.

Kaido didn't care about Denjiro's ridicule. In fact, if he cared about this, Wano Country would have been destroyed by him long ago.

On the contrary, Kaido, who was currently in the stage where the pirate group was severely damaged and was short of major generals, looked at the bloody Denjiro in front of him, and he began to love talents.

Well, being able to resist one's own blow is a talent.

Moreover, he has the loyalty and courage to dare to resist himself for the sake of his long-dead master.

Therefore, Kaido extended his olive branch to Denjiro:

"Hey, Denjiro——"

"Become my subordinate. I promise not to kill you, and I will not blame you for what you have done before."

"I can even let you kill the big snake with my own hands!"

"..."

It has to be said that Denjiro's heart was moved for a moment when faced with the [preferential treatment] of being able to kill the big snake with his own hands.

However, the next moment he immediately asked:

"Then...can you let Wano go?"

"Of course this won't work."

Kaido decisively refused.

Just kidding, he decided to destroy the country of Wano just to drag Yamato onto his chariot.

Although Denjiro is okay, he is far behind Yamato.

Hearing this, Denjiro finally took back the last bit of fantasy in his heart.

He refused coldly:

"Then I'm sorry...I will fight you to the death."

"Hahahaha!"

Kaido suddenly waved his Hachijie and laughed wildly:

"If you fight to the death with me, can your reaction speed keep up!?"

"As long as your speed slows down a little..."

"Your death is over there!!"

Denjiro did not answer Kaido's question.

His strength is not as good as Kaido's, and continuing to talk like this will only make his momentum weaker and weaker.

One rush of strength will lead to failure, and three will be exhausted. Denjiro wants to cause the greatest trouble to Kaido while he still has the momentum to fight Kaido to the death!

I don't expect to defeat Kaido...as long as he can hold off for a while, that's all.

He expressed his determination to Kaido with practical actions.

When Kaido finished speaking, he took a step forward.

"Bingwei style..."

"bass!"

The distance of more than ten meters is fleeting for a samurai of Denjiro's level.,

In the blink of an eye, his figure appeared beside Kaido.

He jumped high and used his armed Haki with all his strength. The black Haki wrapped around the blade and made a silver-gray slash on Kaido's neck!

"Jiecuo Okanuki!"

"Very good!!!" Kaido said, turned around and hit Denjiro's blade with his stick!

The turbulent air currents overturned the surrounding ruins!

"Since you have chosen to fight me to the death..."

"Then I'll let you get what you want! Stupid samurai!"

Following Kaido's roar, Hasaiji suddenly pushed Denjiro away.

As soon as Denjiro landed, Hasaiji hit him with the force of wind and thunder.

"Roaring Thunder Gossip!!!"

Overlord-colored domineering energy is wrapped around Bazaijie. The extremely fast speed and lightning wrapped Bazaijie are already in front of you in a breath!

Denjiro swung his sword: "Heibei-ryu Shizuki Sairyu..."

"Boom!!!"

Huge force acted on Denjiro's arm, and his arm immediately made an overwhelmed crunching sound.

The blade also made a crunching and twisting sound.

However, seeing Roilei Bagua about to be blocked by him...

Suddenly, Denjiro, who was slightly unconscious, felt a chill coming from behind him.

"What……"

After a thunderous gossip was fired, Kaido appeared behind Denjiro without even a moment's delay.

This speed...

Kaido's low voice came to his ears.

"I told you."

"As long as your speed slows down a little..."

"Your death is over there!!"

“Great mighty virtue—thunder gossip!!”

A huge force that was countless times stronger than before hit Denjiro's back.

"Bang."

Kaido suddenly landed dozens of meters in front of Denjiro.

Denjiro immediately knelt on the ground and rolled his eyes.

The long knife... was shattered on the ground.

"thump."

Without leaving a word, Denjiro fell to the ground with all the bones in his body shattered.

Kaido snorted coldly, turned his head and looked at Denjiro who fell to the ground like a pile of rotten meat.

"...I have talent, but I'm still too weak."

Kaido commented calmly.

At the last moment, he had already withdrawn his strength. In fact, if he hadn't withdrawn a little strength at the end, Denjiro would have been smashed from the waist.

Now not only is it not broken...it even has a life left, it is not completely dead.

Kaido looked at Denjiro who fell on the ground, and still had no end in mind to win over him.

In his opinion, as long as he defeats Denjiro again and again, one day he will succumb to him.

As for this mere fatal injury, Kaido thought that if he stuffed an animal devil fruit into his inventory, he would be able to recover.

With this thought in mind, Kaido stepped towards Denjiro.

However, just when he took two steps——

"Thunder Gossip!!!"

"boom!"
