The guards watching over this prison could be the navy or the CP organization.
Anyone who dares to escape from this cage will inevitably become a thorn in the side of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.
Over the past eight hundred years, countless people of virtue and ambition have recognized this point, and a succession of heroes have emerged, such as Rocks D. Giebeck, Gol D. Roger, and Monkey D. Dragon.
This group of people all have one thing in common: their names all contain the English letter D.
Their dedication to tearing down this cage and leading the people to freedom is known as the will of the D.
But in Yang Ming's view, this is far from enough!
If we want to completely change this corrupt world, millions of ordinary people need to stand up and let the sparks of revolution ignite a prairie fire!
Wano Country is a very unique country.
Like the Sky Islands, it is far removed from the world. Similar to the Kingdom of Prodens, it has abundant mineral resources and excellent craftsmen. Like Water Seven, it occupies a very important geographical location. It also suffers from the common problems of the Kingdom of Dressrosa: the relationships between various families are intricate and the power of the country is passed down from generation to generation.
Yang Ming went to great lengths to do so much, not just to simply defeat Kaido of the Beasts, but to use Wano Country as a pilot to bring about a comprehensive revolution to the world.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from the DC Universe. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to start the prize wheel?"
The prizes on the lottery wheel are varied, but can be roughly divided into three categories: abilities, equipment, and miscellaneous items.
Abilities: Lightning, psychic abilities, immortality...
Equipment: Lasso of Truth, Sword of Vulcan, Shield of Divine Power...
Miscellaneous items: diluted Superman cells, Green Lantern ring...
[Invisibility]: You can enter an invisible state at any time, and others cannot detect your existence with the naked eye.
Seeing the invisibility reward, Yang Ming was both amused and exasperated.
For any pervert, invisibility is a god-like skill.
But does Yang Ming need it?
With his current status and position, he could easily summon a whole host of seductive women to his bedside and bear his children with a mere snap of his fingers.
Looking down from the cliff at the chaotic battle in Amigasa Village, seeing that Ain and Kuina wouldn't be able to defeat Kyoshiro anytime soon, Yang Ming stretched his stiff body slightly and said:
"Let me go down and see how powerful this former Red Scabbard Nine is."
After saying that, Yang Ming stepped over the cliff and flew through the air to the village like a cicada chasing its cicada.
After Hanzo, a member of the Orochi Oniwabanshu, was beheaded by Ain, Ain originally thought that he would be able to wipe out the group in one fell swoop.
In fact, this group of governors who had followed Yang Ming all over the country for many years, after arduous training in the Vajra Indestructible Boy Technique, were equivalent to each of them practicing the Iron Body Technique. They were fearless of ordinary swords and knives, and ordinary enemies were really no match for this group of wolf-like naval soldiers.
In the blink of an eye, the group of naval soldiers had routed Hanzo's men, leaving them either dead or crippled. They quickly lost their ability to resist and were subsequently shackled and arrested on the spot.
That man, however, was completely unafraid of the surrounding navy's attack!
Kyoshiro held his katana in both hands, his fox-like eyes narrowed. Even though he was in dire straits, he seemed oblivious, still maintaining a smiling expression. He swung his katana in mysterious curves, Armament Haki swirling around the blade, easily cutting down the intercepting Marine soldiers.
Kyoshiro, whose real name is Denjiro, is a retainer of Kozuki Oden, the daimyo of Kuri in Wano Country, and the second-in-command of the Nine Red Scabbards.
He followed Kozuki Oden from a young age and, with his intelligence, mastered the Oden Two-Sword Style, becoming a master who could fight against a hundred men and once earned the title of "Hundred-Man Slayer".
Don't assume that killing a hundred people on the battlefield is an easy thing.
During combat, a sharp blade slashing at a person consumes a great deal of strength. To kill an enemy with minimal effort, one usually chooses to slit the throat or stab the enemy's heart. Slashing at other parts of the body is not only inefficient, but also consumes a tremendous amount of energy.
If someone doesn't know any skills, relying solely on brute force, they will begin to exhaust their strength after killing a dozen or so people.
This condition will become increasingly serious as time goes on, until eventually the person is even too weak to lift the knife.
Out of a desire to conserve energy for dealing with a strong enemy, experienced people generally don't exert all their strength at once. If they can unleash 70% of their full power, they are already considered to be seriously fighting.
This is why, on the battlefield, many people who appear to be wounded and fall to the ground are not actually dead, and after some treatment, they can be lively and energetic again.
Being in the enemy camp, Kyoshiro naturally understood the importance of conserving his strength. He never used lethal force, and the soldiers he wounded only suffered minor injuries without any serious damage to their bones. They only needed to rest for a while to recover.
Now, the only thing that troubles him is the two girls in front of him.
Although one is a captain and the other a private, their strength should not be underestimated.
Aion's swordsmanship was just as unremarkable as that of the other officers and soldiers in the navy.
Horizontal slash, vertical chop, thrust.
Ain is almost like Cheng Yaojin's three axes, with only three moves going back and forth. But what Kyoshiro truly fears is the peach-pink flame that appears in Ain's palm.
Kyoshiro had just witnessed one of Hanzo's unlucky subordinates accidentally touch the pink flame, and his body began to shrink and his age began to regress at a visible speed, turning him into a helpless child.
Devil Fruit power!
Moreover, it's the kind of Paramecia-type Devil Fruit ability that's impossible to defend against!
Kyoshiro smiled broadly, but inwardly he was cursing.
With nimble steps, Kyoshiro dodged Ain's attacks like a ghost, while also carefully avoiding the pink flames, lest he follow in Ain's footsteps.
If it were just Ain alone, Kyoshiro's swordsmanship would allow him to find her weakness in just thirty rounds and defeat her in one move.
But by Ain's side, there was a girl with amazing swordsmanship.
Two years ago, after parting ways with Yang Ming, Gui Na joined the Navy as promised, starting as a naval trainee. She worked her way up and finally gained the recognition and appreciation of her superiors, who recommended her to study at the naval academy.
In the past two years, Kuina has shed her youthful naiveté, and the swordsmanship passed down by the Shimotsuki family has finally begun to show its true potential.
The swordsmanship of the Frostmoon Clan emphasizes the use of force to overcome all techniques and to overwhelm opponents with sheer power.
Because girls are not as strong as boys, Kuina modified the design according to her own situation. The naval standard-issue saber in her hand gleamed with a cold, sharp edge, as sharp as a strong wind and a tough blade of grass.
The blades flashed like shuttles, and a murderous aura filled the air.
Kuina's every move was unconventional, giving Kyoshiro the illusion that he was walking a tightrope on a cliff, where a single misstep would lead to his demise.
"Wait a moment!"
"Why does this girl's swordsmanship seem somewhat familiar to me?"
Kyoshiro's steps were not disordered, as if he were practicing the art of ambidextrous fighting. Memories of the dead swirled in his mind, but his rhythm was not disrupted. His twin swords remained as steady as ever, with three parts madness and four parts ferocity.
He was like a lone old wolf, cunning yet ruthless, bloodthirsty yet calm.
In nature, the most formidable wolves in a pack are often the older ones, because these older wolves were once the alpha of the pack. They chose to leave alone to survive in the wild in order to protect the survival and reproduction of the pack.
Kyoshiro's situation was similar to that of Old Wolf. After the Nine Red Scabbards parted ways, he underwent a dramatic change overnight, even his appearance was completely different from before. He went undercover behind the backs of his former comrades and worked for Orochi, doing all sorts of dirty things for him.
His blade, like his character, possesses both ruthless and insidious qualities and a grand and imposing style.
An ordinary person simply couldn't handle this conflicting style of fighting.
In Kyoshiro's hands, however, these two styles of moves blend together seamlessly, making them impossible to defend against.
You never know where Kyoshiro's next move will come from, nor do you know if the other party really wants to take your life.
Under the pressure of Kyoshiro's Oden Two-Sword Style, Ain and Kuina quickly lost their initiative, not only falling into a disadvantageous position but also beginning to face perilous situations.
“I recognize it. This is the sword technique of the Frostmoon family.”
Kyoshiro narrowed his eyes, a glint of light flashing within them.
"I never imagined that the Shimotsuki family still has a descendant left in the world?"
Just as Kyoshiro was about to pull a trick to make the two women back down, a clear voice suddenly came from above:
"Is it fun to bully girls? Want to spar with me?"
Upon hearing this, Kyoshiro's expression turned to surprise.
"When did they arrive? Why didn't I notice?"
Chapter 231 Yesterday is a canceled check, tomorrow is a deposit that hasn't matured yet.
"who?"
Kyoshiro suddenly raised his head, feeling somewhat surprised and uncertain.
He remained vigilant, his Observation Haki making him extremely attentive to every movement around him. If anyone tried to approach silently, Kyoshiro would definitely notice.
But it wasn't until Yang Ming spoke that Kuang Shilang realized there was someone above him.
In Kyoshiro's view, a handsome young man stood against the wind, slowly descending from the sky.
Recalling the time when Kaido of the Beasts returned to Wano Country in a fit of rage, constantly muttering the name of the Shura Admiral, Kyoshiro also took the time to gather information about Yang Ming from various sources.
"You're the new admiral of the Navy Headquarters?"
Although it was a question, Kyoshiro's tone was extremely certain.
Upon seeing Yang Ming's appearance, Kyoshiro knew that this was the same Shura Admiral who had executed Jack the Drought on the spot and forced Kaido of the Beasts to retreat some time ago.
It wasn't until he met the person in person that Kyoshiro realized the rumors were true; the other person was indeed excessively young.
This made Kyoshiro feel a little ashamed. He prided himself on being intelligent and having amazing comprehension since childhood, but compared to the young general in front of him, it seemed that his achievements were nothing to boast about.
With a smug, upturned smile, Kyoshiro, true to his current alias, wore a crazed expression and let out a grotesque laugh:
"I have long wanted to see the combat strength of the Marine Headquarters Admiral. I would be honored if you could enlighten me!"
As soon as he said this, Kyoshiro completely abandoned all martial ethics and, without waiting for Yang Ming's response, launched a suicide attack on Yang Ming.
If it were someone with a sound mind, they certainly wouldn't be so reckless.
But Kyoshiro's current identity and fabricated persona force him to do this, otherwise the persona he has built up over the years will collapse.
"Oden Two-Sword Style! Togen Ten-Fist Technique!"
Amidst a strange laugh, Kyoshiro brandished his katana, which was wreathed in Armament Haki. The two swords crossed into a cross shape, and he pounced like a tiger unleashed from its cage, his energy and spirit gathered to their peak. Like a comet, he fell from top to bottom, unleashing his most proud and powerful attack.
As mentioned earlier, there are countless sword masters on this sea, which has given rise to countless schools of swordsmanship.
One little-known fact is that at the beginning of the rise of swordsmanship, the Ittō-ryū school adhered to the principle of cutting the enemy in two with a single stroke, which was regarded by countless sword masters as the fundamental way and an unquestionable orthodoxy.
Swordsmanship outside of this is regarded by sword masters as a heretical and unorthodox path, with the dual-sword style being a prime example.
Sword masters regard their swords as their closest relatives, even more intimately than their wives. The Ittō-ryū style requires complete focus and does not allow any distractions, which is why they can achieve a state of training where they are completely absorbed in their training. This is especially evident in life-or-death battles against sword masters of the same level.
Because once one loses focus, even the slightest slip-up can be easily seized by the enemy, who can then deliver a fatal blow.
The dual-wielding style is not easy to master; it requires the ability to be focused and unwavering.
