I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

As the morning light breaks through the curtain of dawn, the first gentle rays of sunlight quietly caress every corner of the Flower City. The streets and alleys begin to bustle.

After learning that the Nine Red Scabbards, who came on orders, drove away Kaido and imprisoned Orochi, some nobles who relied on Orochi to rise to power fell into panic. In contrast, the old nobles and commoners who always believed in the Kozuki clan.

When Inuyama Hitotsu took off his mask and revealed his true identity that day, the civilians cheered and supported the former general of Wano Country to take the throne. However, he refused. He told the world that he was just a blacksmith now, and they should just wait a few more days. His grandson Momonosuke would lead Wano Country to prosperity until it was founded.

Even though Wano Country was leaderless, it remained peaceful and stable, and merchants had opened their shops early as usual. Taking advantage of the temporary absence of customers, several vendors discussed the unusual events of the previous night.

"Did you hear any noise last night?"

"You heard it too? I thought I misheard it."

"That's right. I can't believe there are wolves in the Flower City."

"Yes, that was a wolf's howl. I really hope that Momonosuke-sama will take up his post soon, otherwise I won't dare go out at night."

The increasingly noisy street talk also reached the ears of a couple who were eating oden in a restaurant early in the morning.

Looking at Yamato who was anxious to eat, the green algae-head grinned: "Hey, it's quite scary."

Yamato, who was so burned that he touched his ear, bared his fangs and said, "It's all your fault!"

The green algae-haired man was full of pride, thinking about last night, he overcame the psychological barriers with the determination to cure the disease, and he really gave it his all, whether it was a wolf or a dog; and with Kaido's departure, Yamato also had her worries at ease, and the room was bright enough, so she gave it a try without any worries. She parked a room in the inn, and in the blink of an eye it became a mess.

A fierce battle lasted until midnight, when the silence was suddenly broken by the heart-pounding wolf howl. It was not like the hungry roar of ordinary wild beasts. It contained an indescribable emotion, from low and long to sharp and high-pitched, adding a bit of desolation and grandeur to the profound Flower City.

"Hey! Little wolf, you still dare to show off..."

Suddenly, the whole Flower City was filled with howling winds. The Green Algae-Head stopped talking mid-sentence and looked towards the northern cemetery in astonishment.

Yamato also stood up suddenly: "This aura is simply creepy, could it be that Kaido is back again?"

The sudden strong wind raged, and the Flower City instantly lost its ease and composure. Fallen leaves, paper scraps, and even bricks and tiles were blown up by the wind. Everyone raised their sleeves at the same time, awkwardly blocking the wind and sand.

"It's not Kaido..." The green algae-haired man had a strange look on his face, because he sensed an extremely familiar aura coming from the northern cemetery - cold, sharp, and murderous. It must be the owner of a certain demon sword.

At this moment, remembering that Yan Mo also had a green algae head with a demon sword, he felt that his head was green, and there was a bit more worry in his eyes.

"What the hell did this bastard do!?"

So he cursed angrily, stepped on the moon step, and jumped out of the window.

"Hey! Wait for me!"

"I feel like something's amiss. Don't follow me. She might not be in the right state."

"Eh? Who is it?"

……

In the Northern Cemetery, on the Robber Bridge, snow was falling heavily.

The four-eyed beauty with bloodshot eyes only held the knife in one hand, but she had already suppressed the ferocious-looking strong man to the point that he could not move. He could only hold the naginata tightly in his hands with both hands and resist hard.

"Little girl, your mind is almost being eroded by it! If you don't let it go, you will become a killing machine!" The strong man gritted his teeth and advised with sweat on his forehead.

"Gyuu Onimaru...are you mocking me for not being able to wield a sword?" The four-eyed beauty gave a wicked smile. With a slight force from one hand, she pressed down on Enma, who was holding the naginata, almost to the man's neck. "How about giving you a chance? Promise to be my boyfriend, and I'll consider not killing you."

"I... I am not human..."

"This is not the answer I want. In that case, you'd better accept your fate!" A murderous look flashed in the eyes of the four-eyed beauty. When she was about to kill, a strong and domineering aura suddenly came from the sky, causing her movements to pause.

"Hey, after having sex with your new love, you finally remembered me?" The four-eyed beauty looked at the green algae-haired girl in the air with a wicked smile.

The green algae-headed man was very familiar with her current state. It was clear that her mind had been eroded by the demon sword, but this was totally wrong! With the domineering color, how could he not suppress Yan Mo?

But when he turned to look at Yama, he was suddenly shocked. The Yama in her hand was very different from before. For some reason, it was stained with an enchanting blood color, and the evil spirit on the blade even made him feel vaguely uneasy.

He frowned: "How could Yan Mo become like this!?"

"What? Are you here to blame me?!" The four-eyed beauty's eyes turned even crimson red as she slowly raised Yama and pointed it at him: "Or... do you want me to put down my beloved sword, too!"

The green algae-headed man's face darkened. "Wake up, Tashigi! I don't know what happened, but Yan Mo is making me feel uneasy right now. Please take it back for the time being."

"Hahaha!" Dashiqi laughed a little hoarsely: "You said to put away the knife, so why?"

"It seems that the situation is worse than I thought. I can only take the knife away by force." The green algae-headed man immediately drew out three knives from his waist.

"Then give it a try!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tashigi turned into a red light and attacked him in the blink of an eye. The speed of her sword was so fast that she was completely different from the previous two days. The murderous aura emitted by Yama made it impossible for him to use the Domineering Color for a while.

There was a crisp sound, and the four knives collided with each other without any obstruction, and for a moment, flames splashed in the snow.

Ding!Ding!Ding!

Tashigi's sword was getting faster and faster, and the power coming from the sword was completely different from before.

She did not use her fruit ability, her armament color and her domineering color, nor did she use any advanced swordsmanship. She just used the most basic and primitive chopping, slashing, stabbing, and chopping... like a wild beast relying entirely on instinct.

So the knife was ridiculously fast, without any pause. Even though the Green Algae Head was holding three knives, he could only block the attack and had no power to fight back. The suppressing power was even far beyond Kaido.

"Ghost energy·Nine-sword style!"

The situation was critical, and the green algae-headed man did not dare to be careless. He saw golden light surging all over his body, and he turned into a three-headed, six-armed being. Only when he swung out nine swords at the same time did he suppress Tashigi's quick sword.

Seeing that he had suppressed Dashigi's swift sword, the green algae-headed man immediately released a startling display of dominance. Just when Dashigi's momentum was blocked, he exaggeratedly raised his six arms, clamped Yan Mo with nine swords, and threw him with all his might: "Let go!"

Clang!

I saw Yama flying high up and piercing straight into the floor. The scarlet blade made a sound of sword. For a moment, the ice and snow around Yama seemed to be frightened and melted quickly.

Dashiqi stumbled and fell to the ground. The scarlet color in her eyes gradually faded. Suddenly coming to her senses, she stared at her hands in a daze: "What am I doing..."

Seeing this, the green algae-headed man let out a long breath and recovered himself, then helped her up: "Are you okay?"

At this moment, a flash of blood flashed in her eyes again, a look of pain appeared on her face, and she looked at Yama with longing.

The green algae-headed man quickly hugged her and said, "You can't touch it again."

"Bastard! Let me go! Give me back the knife!" Tashigi began to struggle desperately.

The green algae-headed man didn't dare to let her have her wish, so he could only hold her tightly. Helpless, he suddenly had an idea and freed his left hand to hold the Third Generation Kitetsu: "Kitetsu, help me!"

At this time, the Third Generation of Kitetsu seemed to understand his master's meaning, as if waking up from a deep sleep, emitting a faint black light. At the same time, a red light appeared on Tashigi's body, but it seemed to have nowhere to vent.

The green algae head suddenly understood and kissed her red lips. At this moment, the red light on her body seemed to have found a breakthrough and poured into the green algae head's body.

Feeling the rapid growth of ghost energy in the body, golden light also emerged from the green algae head's body to purify the ghost energy.

After a while, Dashiqi's eyes became clear again. She slowly raised her hands and hugged him, her tongue moving. For a moment, the snow was filled with beauty.

Niu Guiwan cursed and turned into a white fox, disappearing into the snow.
