Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

Page 314

At this moment, Xiao Qing, with her beady eyes, also stood up, and the other two little girls with beady eyes came to her side.

Xiaoqing said softly to Kanzaki Aoi, "Aoi, this gentleman didn't bully me. I was just startled and fell down. I'm sorry."

24. High morale

“Is… that so?”

Upon hearing Xiaoqing's words, Kanzaki Aoi realized what had happened, quickly put away her Nichirin Blade, bowed to Ron in apology, and said apologetically, "I made a mistake, I'm really sorry!"

Ron smiled and waved his hand: "It's alright."

He looked at Kanao: "Kanao, is there a place to stay here? I might be staying here for a while."

"Yes, there is, but you need Zhu's permission to stay..."

Ron laughed and said, "That's no problem. I've already spoken to your lord."

Kanzaki Aoi and the three little ones with beady eyes were startled by what they heard.

How could someone who doesn't look like a member of the Demon Slayer Corps get to see the Master?!

"I understand, then there's no problem."

Kanao nodded: "Then I'll take Mr. Ron over there."

Kanao and Ron leave the Butterfly Mansion.

The three little ones huddled together next to Kanzaki Aoi and whispered among themselves.

"Who exactly is this Mr. Ron? Have you ever met him?"

Kanzaki Aoi couldn't help but ask.

"No, this is the first time I've seen it."

"He said he saw the lord."

"For someone like Lady Butterfly to be so polite to Lady Kanao, she must be a very impressive person."

Xiao Qing nodded vigorously: "I think that person is definitely very powerful. He suddenly appeared just now, which really startled me."

……

Kanao led Ron to a secluded cottage not far from the Butterfly Mansion. After Ron nodded in satisfaction, she took her leave.

Ron sat under a cherry tree in the corner of the courtyard, drinking wine, his eyes closed, carefully sensing the current state of his body.

The power of the Tenseigan has been largely restored.

The Float-Float Fruit's power is just one step away from breaking through its bottleneck and reaching the level of fruit awakening.

While there hasn't been much growth in physical strength, mental strength has been steadily increasing.

A gust of wind blew by, cherry blossoms danced in the air, and his black hair, tied in a high ponytail, swayed gently behind his head.

Ron, holding the Endless Wine Jar, opened his eyes, looked up at the sky, his azure eyes clear and deep, yet carrying a trace of loneliness and nostalgia.

"It's been almost twenty days since I arrived in this world. I wonder how things are in the One Piece world... It must be a complete mess right now."

"Robin, Connie and the others must be worried sick, right?"

Sitting under the cherry blossom tree, Ron gazed at the clear blue sky and murmured to himself, "I'm craving Connie's cooking..."

"This world has plenty of delicious food and interesting things, but... as expected, I still don't feel a sense of belonging..."

"The system will be upgraded in ten days. Hopefully, there will be a way for me to go back by then."

………………

the other side.

After Ron left.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki, who had regained his health and eyesight, and the Pillar, who was deeply shocked by Ron's incredible supernatural power, held another Pillars meeting.

Shinobu Kocho recounted to everyone the information she had heard from Ron about the Transparent World, the Demon Slayer Mark, the Crimson Blade, the Breath of the Sun, Yoriichi Tsugikuni, and Tanjiro.

"If we can really awaken our markings and crimson blades as Mr. Ron said, our strength as Pillars will undoubtedly increase significantly."

Obanai Iguro's eyes gleamed as she said, "If we take down the Twelve Demon Moons one by one, by the time of the final battle, we'll only be facing Muzan Kibutsuji and a few Upper Moons..."

"In this way, we have the upper hand in terms of combat strength!"

After hearing this, everyone looked quite excited.

"Tanjiro, the inheritor of the Sun Breathing technique, and Nezuko, a special demon, will be at the heart of this plan."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki looked at the pillars and said, "Make sure they are safe. Obanai, I'm leaving it to you."

Obanai Iguro nodded seriously: "I will go and find out their location later, and I will definitely bring them back safely."

“Mr. Iguro, if possible, I hope you will not appear in front of them or interfere in their battle.”

Shinobu Kocho spoke up.

Everyone looked at her.

Obanai Iguro asked, "Why?"

Shinobu Kocho said softly, "Mr. Ron seems to have high hopes for Tanjiro's potential as a swordsman. He even gave him some pointers on swordsmanship on the way here. He probably hopes that Tanjiro can gain experience and become stronger through life-and-death battles with demons, so..."

Obanai Iguro nodded: "I understand. I won't show myself unless they encounter an opponent they can't beat no matter what."

"please."

Afterwards, the group discussed the detailed plan to lure Muzan Kibutsuji out using Nezuko as bait. Everyone was in high spirits, seeing a glimmer of hope for the first time.

As the meeting drew to a close.

Uzui Tengen asked a question: "Will that person... stand on our side after the great battle begins and fight against Kibutsuji Muzan with us?"

His tone was filled with deep respect.

After personally experiencing and feeling the incredible, godlike power of that person, Uzui Tengen, who always called himself the 'God of Festivals,' felt a sense of awe for the first time.

The others remained silent upon hearing his words.

They also want to know the answer to this question.

If that person could help them deal with Muzan Kibutsuji, their chances of winning would undoubtedly increase significantly.

"Probably not."

Shinobu Kocho's words broke the silence, and everyone turned to look at her.

Shinobu Kocho said softly, "In that person's eyes, Muzan Kibutsuji might not even amount to anything. Mr. Ron wants to make us stronger so that we can take revenge ourselves and kill Muzan Kibutsuji ourselves."

"indeed!"

Rengoku Kyojuro clenched his fist and said with a hearty and cheerful voice, "It would be wonderful if we could resolve this thousand-year-old destiny with our own hands!"

Obanai Iguro coldly replied, "What has all your training amounted to if you can't kill that guy with your own hands?"

"My sword was born for this purpose."

Muichiro said calmly.

With his hands clasped together and tears streaming down his face, Kyōmei Himejima said, “Demons roam the world, and all living beings suffer. The meaning of this life is to exterminate all demons in the world. If I can kill Muzan Kibutsuji with my own hands, I will have no regrets even if I die. Amitabha.”

Shinobu Kocho herself had a lot of anger towards demons that she wanted to vent.

Looking at the pillars before him, each radiating a murderous intent towards the demons.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled and said, "My children (swordsmen), let us kill Muzan Kibutsuji with our own hands and end this thousand-year-old fate."

"Yes!"

The pillars responded in unison, their morale soaring.

Severely injured, with countless broken bones, Sanemi Shinazugawa lay on his back, unconscious.

…………

Afterwards, Sanemi Shinazugawa was sent to the Butterfly Mansion.

Seeing his condition, Kanzaki Aoi and the three little ones were all shocked.

"Lord Fengzhu?!"

"Seventeen bones are broken, internal organs are damaged, and there is a concussion, but there are no signs of external injury... Butterfly, what, what on earth happened?!"

Kanzaki Aoi looked at Kocho Shinobu in surprise: "What kind of enemy could have injured the Wind Pillar like this?! Was it one of the Twelve Demon Moons?"

"Forehead……"

Shinobu's smile froze slightly.

Should I lie now?

25. The first thing I did upon arriving in the village of swordsmiths

From this day forward...

Ron then stayed with the Demon Slayer Corps.
