"Let us ninjas open the way for the lords!"
Sarutobi, the current leader of the Oniwabanshu and a fire ninja, stepped forward.
The Oniwabanshu, composed of Wano Country ninjas, only pledges loyalty to the Shogun of Wano Country.
As for who the Shogun is, it doesn't affect their loyalty.
"Fire Style: Great Fire Technique!!"
Sarutobi extended his knuckles, which turned into flames, and spat fiercely forward.
Flames sprayed downward in a column.
Rapidly drying and hardening the mountain body of Wano Country, which had been soaked in seawater all year round.
"Good, good, good! Sarutobi, after this victory, I will reward you." Kozuki Sukiyaki laughed even louder upon seeing this.
With a Great Swordsman comparable to Shimotsuki Ryuma.
And the fire ninja Sarutobi who mastered the demon fire technique.
They will definitely make the invading enemy return in defeat!!!
The group consisted of samurai and ninjas, their speed quite impressive.
Soon they caught up with the speed of the receding seawater.
At the same time, at the foot of the mountain, as the seawater drained away, the tops of some buildings that had slept on the seabed for hundreds of years reappeared in the eyes of all Wano Country people.
"So the legend is true; our original country was under this seabed."
"The area here is much larger than our current country; maybe this isn't a bad thing."
"Idiot, the sea level worldwide has risen. Even if the outer sea disappears now, the original territory is still soaked in the sea."
"I'm just sighing with emotion; who are you calling an idiot, bastard!"
"Wait, stop arguing, look over there!!!"
"Tsunami is coming, take cover quickly!!!"
"No, there's something inside."
"What is that!!!"
"Is it a ship? Isn't it too big?"
"..."
Pairs of eyes focused on the distant sea.
A giant ship, whose tail couldn't be seen at a glance and whose height was like a mountain, was approaching rapidly like a cannonball.
Wherever it passed, decaying buildings were smashed to pieces.
Seawater was pushed into a tsunami, flowing along with the ship!
At the same time.
"Yo, purple-haired Zoro. No, this must be Zoro's granduncle."
Loki had discovered the people of Wano Country one step ahead. His gaze lingered on Shimotsuki Ushimaru for a moment, swept across the venue, and a satisfied smile rose on the corner of his mouth.
This welcoming force is worthy of his reminder.
World asked: "Boss Loki, we're almost there. Should I release the ability?"
"Release what? Crash into it for me! How can mere mountain rocks compare to the hardness of Adam? Give the hillbillies of Wano Country a little shock from the outside world."
"Yes!!" World's blood boiled too, mustering his strength.
The Conqueror roared and rushed towards the new coastline of Wano Country.
"No intention of stopping!"
"Isn't the opponent afraid that the ship will be completely destroyed?!"
"Sumo wrestlers, it's time for you to perform. Go and overturn the enemy's ship fiercely."
"Our usual enemies are just a bit robust, not a mountain! Are you kidding me!!"
"Then what should we do...."
"Lord Shogun!!"
Samurai, ninjas, sumo wrestlers, all were somewhat panicked.
Few people can remain calm when facing a charging mountain.
As for the Shogun, Kozuki Sukiyaki also felt a chill down his back, his legs hidden under the loose kimono trembling slightly.
Fugetsu Omusubi looked solemn: "No wonder the World Government dares to invade us again; they actually built such a ship!"
Uzuki Tempura: "However, no matter how powerful the ship is, those operating it are also humans!"
Shimotsuki Yasuie was confident: "That's right, Shogun. We brought all our retainers, plus the help of various yakuza forces in the country. We have an army of ten thousand people, and the opponent has only one ship. How can they defeat us?!"
"Shogun, you take people to retreat first. When we succeed in beheading the leaders, you lead everyone to swarm up and take down the invading enemy!"
Shimotsuki Ushimaru drew Shusui, his blood surging.
"I am willing to lend a hand to the Daimyos!!!" The young Hyogoro of the Flower also longed for fame and merit.
"Good, good, good! Everyone, I await your signal."
Kozuki Sukiyaki breathed a sigh of relief immediately, his confidence returning slightly under the infection of Shimotsuki Ushimaru and the other three. He turned back and ordered calmly: "Retreat to high ground first, prepare to unite with other Daimyos to attack."
"Yes!"
Forces from all sides of Wano Country retreated rapidly.
And a smile rose on the corner of Shimotsuki Ushimaru's mouth: "Everyone, follow me to slay the invading enemy!!"
Before his voice fell, Shimotsuki Ushimaru initiated a charge, his powerful physique allowing him to step directly on the air.
The other three Daimyos and Hyogoro of the Flower followed closely behind.
"Is this... a giant?"
As the altitude rose and the distance closed, Shimotsuki Ushimaru saw everything on the deck through the water mist. Especially when his gaze swept over Loki, his pupils shrank instantly.
Shimotsuki Yasuie and the other three were also shocked.
"A giant taller than a high-rise building; how strong must he be?"
"Why is the height different from the giants recorded by the ancestors?"
"No wonder the ship was built so big."
"Wait, there is no World Government symbol on the opponent's ship."
"Everyone, now is not the time to think about this." Shimotsuki Ushimaru suppressed the surprise in his heart instantly, calm and composed: "Regardless of the opponent's stance, they came here with malice. Attack with me!!"
After speaking, Shimotsuki Ushimaru raised Shusui high. Recalling the deeds of ancestor Shimotsuki Ryuma slaying dragons and the inherited family swordsmanship in his mind, Armament Haki lingered around Shusui like flowing light. His figure pulled a series of afterimages and rushed towards Loki.
"Dragon Slaying · First Form: Dragon Severance!!!"
"Uzuki · Shimotsuki Interception!"
"Wind Scar!"
...
"Flower One-Sword Style: Rage Light Worship!!!"
The other four also unleashed the strongest power of their lives.
Slash waves, either fast or carrying elemental attributes, blasted out.
"Interesting. Is the young Shimotsuki Ushimaru so confident? No wonder the novice Zoro dared to challenge Hawkeye later. Turns out the nephew takes after the granduncle."
A playful smile rose on the corner of Loki's mouth. He said softly to Shimotsuki Ushimaru: "Be grateful to a certain descendant of yours in the future. I will mercifully forgive your offense."
The thunderous voice was heard clearly by Shimotsuki Ushimaru and the other four.
"What is this guy talking about?" Shimotsuki Ushimaru didn't understand, but he could feel that these words were directed at him.
Then, Shimotsuki Ushimaru saw the hammer blasting towards them at extreme speed.
Their slash waves were like castles made of sand. Before even getting close to the hammer, they were crushed by the wind pressure wrapped around the outer layer and swept inside.
Then, the wind pressure hit their bodies, making the surrounding air solidify, unable to move.
Next, the heavy hammer arrived.
Crack!
In the first instant, except for Shusui which had already been refined into a Black Blade, all other blades broke inch by inch.
Shimotsuki Ushimaru could clearly see the heavy hammer pressing the blade into a bend and smashing heavily into his abdomen.
With spurting blood and fragments of internal organs, Shimotsuki Ushimaru and the other four turned into five blood-colored streams of light flying backward.
The speed was so fast that it even pulled out a sonic boom.
Boom boom boom boom!!
The retreating Kozuki Sukiyaki only heard a loud noise overhead. The mountain in front exploded with a bang, gravel splashing, and cracks spreading along four large holes.
"Did the aftermath reach here?!"
Kozuki Sukiyaki turned pale with fright, raising his hand to slash open the thick smoke with a knife.
Revealing Shimotsuki Ushimaru and the other four.
Except for Shimotsuki Ushimaru, the other four were pierced by broken blades and embedded in the ground.
And Shimotsuki Ushimaru was the most miserable. His chest and abdomen seemed folded and embedded into the ground, his head stuck between his legs and exposed outside, like a takoyaki with two octopus legs stuck in it.
The only similarity was that all five fell into a baby-like sleep.
"!!!!"
Kozuki Sukiyaki was terrified.
Weren't they going to repel the invading enemy?
How long has it been since they left? Was there really a battle process?
What exactly is the enemy?!!
