Shiryu's Asura Mist seems to have some special effect. Even though he had shaved off Kozuki Sukiyaki's arms, Sukiyaki still maintained his sanity. Amidst his wails and roars, the people of the Flower Capital showed frightened looks, with some even kneeling in fear.
Kin'emon raised his eyebrows. If this continues, the reputation of the Kozuki family will be completely lost.
"Asshole!!!"
A rush of footsteps sounded from the city gate, and then a large figure jumped into the air, drawing a sword to slash at Shiryu.
Shiryu didn't look up, still carefully cutting thin slices of meat from Kozuki Sukiyaki.
As soon as the figure jumped into the sky, Ain, who was standing next to Tom, spun his body and held Shusui to block the slashing attack.
Keng!!
The much taller figure didn't make Ain's body shake at all.
Ashura Doji, bounced off due to the impact, looked at Kin'emon angrily:
"Twenty years of waiting...is this the result?"
Kin'emon was speechless. They were just retainers, or more harshly, slaves. They had no way of knowing what was recorded in Oden's diary back then. They didn't know who the "destined person" to save this country would be. Although Lady Toki knew, she might not have been clear due to the emergency at the time.
"Why don't you fight!!"
Ashura Doji shouted angrily: "Without the support of strength, in such a desperate situation, why can't you show the integrity of a 'samurai'!!?"
"These twenty years..."
Ashura's body trembled slightly. He recalled the ruins and turbid rivers all over Wanokuni. He thought of the people who couldn't bear to eat the SMILE fruits due to hunger and ended up just giggling. People who died in the mines and were discarded like wild dogs.
He believed in Oden's last words and Lady Toki's prophecy. He believed the Kozuki samurai would overthrow Kurozumi Orochi and Kaido. When the dragon took off, he rushed to the Flower Capital immediately. But he saw...
No samurai participated in the war. When the war ended, they tried to fight for the results in the name of "legitimacy."
Stupid beyond reach...
That mysterious man defeated Kaido easily. They tried to blackmail him with "righteousness"!?
When Kozuki Sukiyaki was hung on the iron frame, they were afraid of each other's strength and didn't dare to act.
What kind of samurai is this?
This kind of samurai...is not right!!
Dylan turned around and looked at the beast-like Ashura Doji:
"Kill him and give him a good time."
"Yes."
Ain, standing opposite Ashura Doji, responded coldly, then moved the Shusui in her hand.
Ashura Doji looked at the people still protecting Momonosuke in the distance and sighed.
This life...
It's really useless.
"Judgment of Sin: One Line of Sky!"
Swish!
Ashura's head flew high, his eyes filled with unwillingness and resentment.
Kin'emon and the others standing opposite Dylan were startled at first, then slowly gathered their formation to surround Momonosuke in the middle.
"Hoo~~ho!!! Hoo~~~~"
Kozuki Sukiyaki struggled to make a complete sound, looking at his "retainers" opposite. It seemed like he was praying to them.
Pray that they will find a chance to give themselves a good time.
Under Shiryu's quick cutting, only the leg bone remained of Kozuki Sukiyaki's right leg.
"Is this a 'samurai'?"
Bang bang~~~
Dylan applauded and walked towards the other side: "Invincible... Come on, my head is right here. If you are invincible, come and get it."
The whole of Wanokuni fell into silence.
Although Kaido is not dead, looking at the scene from the light painting, it seems that he is almost dead, but...
That man in black clothes... is much scarier than Kaido.
Dylan glanced contemptuously at the other side and then looked at Yamato: "Kaido gives you a chance to escape. Although he is an idiot, the promise I gave him is valid."
Dylan narrowed his eyes and looked at Yamato: "Now get over here, kowtow to him, and call him father. I will send you and your daughter on their way. Otherwise..."
Dylan raised his hand and pointed at Kozuki Sukiyaki behind him with his thumb: "I guarantee you will be ten times more miserable than him."
"Don't even think about it!!"
Yamato instantly transformed into an animal form, and endless cold air came out of her mouth.
She stared at Dylan and put her front paws on the ground: "A devil like you will never understand Oden. Kaido... he is not worthy of being my father!"
"Call······"
Kaka!
Two shattering sounds were heard, and Yamato, who had just transformed into a beast form, was smashed into the ground by Dylan.
Click!
A pair of extremely pure seastone handcuffs cuffed Yamato's backhand.
Dylan held down Yamato with one hand and turned to look at Tahir: "Kozuki Hiyori... is burned."
"Hiyo······"
Before Shinobu could warn her, blazing purple flames erupted from Kozuki Hiyori's body. Then she disappeared silently.
"Twenty years ago... Kaido played a game with you. Now I'm here to play a game with you too."
Dylan formed the second shelf by siphoning a pile of iron from an adjoining house.
The warriors' hearts tightened.
This "game"... is probably more terrifying than being boiled in a cauldron.
"Momosuke... Come here now and kill this fake 'Kozuki Oden', and I can spare the life of one of the samurai."
Dylan glanced at the samurai opposite and shook his head: "Not including Kin'emon!"
"Time is limited, only one minute! Start counting now."
Yamato, who was tied to the iron frame, had an incredible look in her eyes.
Why...this person was not like this four years ago...
Dylan turned his head and looked at her calmly: "I gave you a chance four years ago, and I gave you two chances just now, one to change, one to live, and one to die with dignity. Since I gave you the chance, and you don't want it, then you have to die according to my way..."
"Don't you like Kozuki Oden? Don't you want to be Kozuki Oden? Then I will give you a death that is ten thousand times more humiliating than his... killed by your 'son' with his own hands!"
Click, click, click!!
Click, click, click!!
Although her hands were restrained, Yamato struggled hard.
Kaido in the distance lowered his head and closed his eyes, seemingly dead.
"Momo!!! Resistance!!! Samurai!!! Resistance!!!"
"Don't forget Oden's will, stand up! Take up arms and resist!!"
The samurai looked at Momonosuke.
With this kind of power gap, they also lost to Kaido even with Oden around back then.
Twenty years later, Kaido, who was already known as the "strongest creature," was defeated miserably by the man in front of him...
"Thirty seconds left."
Momonosuke mechanically turned his head and looked left and right. Then the young man who looked almost exactly like Oden had tears and snot streaming down his face:
"I'm here...I'm here..."
"I'm just a child..."
