Chapter 161 You Don’t Want to Be a Samurai
At this time, Shimotsuki Kozaburo appeared at the door of the dojo and immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the dojo.
Cyrus and Yixiao were still shocked by the strange effect of Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's "demon sword", when they heard from the old man at the door that Tsugakuin Yoshiichi actually had another demon sword in his hand?
A demonic sword nearly took Shimotsuki Kozaburo's life, and Tsugakuni Yoriichi actually wielded two such swords? Does this mean that Tsugakuni Yoriichi is truly a person with a terrifyingly tough fate?
Cyrus had heard from some people that people with tough fates could easily bring death to those around them.
This world is about fate.
"Tsugumi Yuichi."
"Navy, where are you from?"
Shimotsuki Kozaburo asked as he took off his straw sandals and placed his fishing rod outside the door. He walked barefoot into the dojo, sat down on the tatami, dusted off the soles of his feet, and turned to look at Tsugikoku Yoriichi.
"New World, Navy Headquarters."
"What's your purpose in asking this?"
When Shimotsuki Kozaburo heard Tsugokuni Yoriichi's answer, he turned his head and did not respond. Instead, he looked out the door and said in a low voice:
"Any famous sword will choose its own master."
"The reason the demon sword is called a demon sword isn't because the sword itself has some strange abilities, but because it infinitely amplifies and materializes the characteristic of 'a famous sword chooses its master.'"
"Those who lack strength and talent will be killed by the sword!"
"The knife didn't choose you, but you held it. It felt like it was buried."
"In order to find their ideal master, the famous swords will do anything."
As Shimotsuki Kozaburo spoke, he slowly stood up, then slowly walked in front of Tsugakuni Yoriichi, reached out his hand, and stroked the blade of Enma.
When he mentioned the knife, he didn't think of it as an object at all. Shimotsuki Kozaburo's tone was more like he was describing a child.
Tsugikuni Yoshiichi did not stop Shimotsuki Kozaburo's actions, but cooperated by holding Enma horizontally and allowing Shimotsuki Kozaburo to touch him.
After a while, Shimotsuki Kozaburo glared sternly at Shimotsuki Koshiro, who was still sitting on the ground, and cursed:
"fool!"
"How reckless!"
"Do you know why Wado Ichimonji wasn't given to you to use?!"
"Because if a fool like you uses it, you'll most likely be killed by it!"
Shimotsuki Kozaburo's words made Cyrus and Yixiao look at each other in surprise. This was the first time they heard such an argument about famous swords.
When Ji Guoyuan heard this, he frowned thoughtfully. An incident that happened in this world came to his mind.
Wado Ichimonji, like Enma, was created by the man in front of him, Shimotsuki Kozaburo.
Yoriichi vaguely remembered that before Zoro obtained the Wado Ichimonji, the sword was locked in the attic by Shimotsuki Koshiro and had never been used. Later, it seemed that because Shimotsuki Koshiro's daughter, Kuina, secretly took the sword and dueled with the young Zoro, the Wado Ichimonji was brought to light again.
But something strange happened. Kuina, who had practiced kendo for years and was able to defeat many adults at the age of just over ten, and had amazing fighting power, actually died from a fall down the stairs?!
You have to know that the children in this world are not the same "species" as the children in the normal world.
Even children from ordinary families have terrifying ability to withstand blows. Wang Luffy was even thrown into the deep mountains and forests by Garp since he can remember, but he is still safe and sound.
But it is unbelievable no matter how you think about it that a child who has practiced kendo for many years and can be said to have already stepped into the threshold of kendo would actually fall to death.
Now, after hearing what Shimotsuki Kozaburo said, Yoriichi suddenly understood why Kuina died. Perhaps she was killed by Wado Ichimonji.
As someone who once bore the name "Taiichi" two lives ago, Yoriichi Tsugikuni still remains cautious about such things.
"I'm sorry, Dad."
Shimotsuki Koshiro finally recovered some strength at this time and said with his head down.
At this moment, although Shimotsuki Koshiro's face showed no expression, his heart was already filled with turbulent waves. He almost died!
After walking around the Naihe Bridge, Shimotsuki Koshiro felt very fortunate. At the same time, he became very curious about Tsugikuni Yoriichi, the navy who mastered "Yanma".
According to what his father said, the other party not only has a magic sword in his hand!
This navy officer was obviously very young, and his aura did not give him a "tough" feeling. How could such a person wield two demonic swords at the same time?
"Sir, could you please explain to me what 'unopened demon sword' means?"
"You mean the dawn?"
Ji Guoyuan raised the other long sword in his hand and interrupted. He was very interested in this matter!
"Dawn is such a bad name."
"Ah! If the dawn you're talking about is the knife in your hand right now, then that's it!"
"Pull out the knife!"
Under the instructions of Shimotsuki Kozaburo, Tsugukuni Yoshiichi removed the scabbard of Dawn. There was no cold light shining from the famous sword when it was unsheathed. When Dawn was pulled out, it was like a fire poker being pulled out.
"Yeah, sure enough!"
"Boy, didn't you notice that your knife is not sharpened?!"
Shimotsuki Kozaburo only took a quick look before turning to Tsugakuni Yoriichi and asking. His words made Tsugakuni Yoriichi look slightly startled.
No blade?! How is that possible? His knife was so sharp when it came to chopping off pirates' heads that it was like chopping cabbage. How could it be without a blade?
Yunyi reached out and touched the blade. Even without touching the edge, he could feel the sharpness of the Dawn. Unsharpened? How could it be!
At this moment, Cyrus also leaned over and looked carefully at the knife in Yunyi's hand. After observing the blade, he asked in confusion:
"Old man, you must have seen it wrong. Is this knife sharpened?!"
Shimotsuki Kozaburo shook his head upon hearing this and sneered, "You don't understand swords."
"This knife! It's not sharpened! The sharpened I'm talking about is different from the sharpened you understand."
Although Tsugikuni Yoriichi has been using a sword for many years, he can only judge whether a sword is good or bad. As for what Shimotsuki Kosaburo said at this time, Yoriichi had no idea what he meant.
But fortunately, when Yuanyi doesn’t understand something, he won’t think he knows everything. He will ask.
"If my knife is not sharpened, how can I sharpen it?"
"Or, if it's sharpened, what state should it be in?"
Facing Tsugokuni Yoriichi's question, Shimotsuki Kozaburo sneered, pulled out a pipe from his waist, lit a cigarette for himself, and took a few puffs before slowly answering:
"A weapon that kills people must be sharpened with blood!"
"As for what the blade will look like after it's sharpened, how would I know?!"
Shimotsuki Kosaburo said with a smile, looked deeply at Tsugumi Yoshiichi, walked to Shimotsuki Koshiro's side, and helped his son up.
"Do you have anything else to do?"
"If you have nothing else, please leave quickly."
"This kid needs to rest up. He probably doesn't have the energy to entertain you guys."
"I'm an old man with old arms and legs. You guys won't bother me, right?"
After helping Shimotsuki Koshiro up, Shimotsuki Kozaburo started to drive people away. Although Tsugakuni Yoriichi had some questions he wanted to ask, he nodded when he heard Shimotsuki Kozaburo say that.
"Then we'll take our leave now. We'll come visit you two again when we have time."
Yunyi walked up to Shimotsuki Koshiro and picked up the scabbards of Ame-no-Habakiri and Enma from the ground. He was about to leave with Ichimi and Cyrus when he suddenly remembered his purpose. He leaned close to the ears of the father and son and whispered:
"The spoils were snatched from a samurai named Kozuki Oden by a senior member of the navy."
"The opponent seems to be from Wano Country. The 'Ryuo' that Koshiro just used is also very powerful!"
"Our navy is currently short of manpower. I sincerely hope that a powerful samurai like Mr. Shimotsuki Koshiro can join our navy."
"I will stay on this island for a day. If you have any ideas, you can come to the port to find me."
After saying this, Tsugikuni Yoriichi left the dojo with Cyrus and Ichisho. Meanwhile, Shimotsuki Kozaburo and his son were still immersed in what Tsugikuni Yoriichi had just said.
After watching Yunyi and the others leave, Shimotsuki Kozaburo murmured angrily:
"That marine knows Wano Country very well!"
"Ryuuu! Samurai! Hehehe, Ryuuu! Samurai! This little bastard!"
