49 Chapter 49

Rumbling rumbling...

Wa no Kuni, port.

After an earth-shattering explosion.

The entire port got divided into two.

The red sword wave did not dissipate and continued flying towards the center of a city near the port.

Everywhere it passed, countless houses collapsed.

Dust rose into the sky.

Many samurai were hit by the sword wave.

Some were directly sliced by it, while the rest were blown away by the powerful air current generated.

Those who were not killed were crippled.

"MOVE! MOVE! MOVE! DON'T LET THEM HARM THE CIVILIANS!"

Although many warriors were no longer in a state to fight, they still rushed one after the other like a group of bloodthirsty beasts toward the pirates.

This is the spirit of Wano!

Even if death is inevitable, they would prefer it over defeat!

Redfield retracted his sword and yelled:

"ATTACK!"

"KILL THEM!"

ROAR ROAR

The pirate roared with eyes glowing red and welcomed the raging samurai with their swords and fists!

BAANG

BOOOM

"AGGHHHHHHH"

*SPLURT*

Later in the evening of that day, Redfield occupied the city.

The next day, Wano's shogun, Kozuki Sukiyaki received the horrifying news.

Kozuki Sukiyaki looked worried.

"Why, why did Jigen take a fancy to our country."

He just didn't understand.

The others could not respond.

If it was just ordinary pirates invading, they would send them away in coffins.

Jigen, however, is anything but an ordinary pirate.

Escaping from Impel down, breaking into the Holy Land Mary Geoise, conquering Redfield, and defeating Byrnndi World.

All his feats show that Jigen is very unique. Crazy and unpredictable.

"Shogun Sama, if you try and analyze this guy's movements and decisions, you will never come to a satisfying result even in a decade. He is a fool!"

"Yes, Shogun Sama, some people are just so retarded that logic must be thrown out of the window before dealing with them."

"Heh, regardless of his motives, we are going to fuck him up and show the world the might of Wano!"

"Hell yes!"

"WOAAAAH!!!!!!" (Cheering)

Kozuki Sukiyaki looked at the crowd with a trace of comfort in his heart.

No matter how strong the enemy is, with so many people such as his fellow samurai accompanying him, what is there to worry about?

"Well, let's go meet those pirates now. If they are willing to cooperate we will send them back. Otherwise, we will kill them all not leaving a single individual alive!"

Kozuki Sukiyaki immediately stood up straight, with haughtiness in his tone.

If war is the only option, he will gladly fight it.

Of course, if he can avoid it, that would be for the best. Every single soldier of Wano is precious.

A day later, the conquered city.

Kozuki Sukiyaki brought all of Wano's daimyos and samurai to the captured city near the port.

Preparing to have a good conversation with Redfield, hoping to avoid meaningless bloodshed.

His motto is to only fight when necessary.

The City's Mansion.

Since the city was occupied by the Dawn Pirates it has been requisitioned by Redfield as a temporary base camp.

In the city lord's mansion, many pirates gathered here to discuss their next move.

Redfield was listening silently without thinking too much.

In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is meaningless.

When the time comes, he only needs to slash with his sword.

That and also the lack of any leading experience. You see he was never a person who fought with armies and pawns. He was always a sole wolf. Until the fire nation- Until Jigen came into the picture, that is.

"Deputy Captain! Many Samurais are approaching us!"

Suddenly, a pirate rushed in.

Instantly attracting the attention of all those present.

Redfield raised his head and squinted.

"Anyone leading them?"

"It's Kozuki Sukiyaki! The Shogun of Wano!"

"Kozuki Sukiyaki."

The supreme ruler of this country.

"Since he is here, we will defeat him first, and then this country will be in the bag."

Redfield geared himself and walked outside.

All the others immediately followed behind.

Outside, Kozuki Sukiyaki was not in a hurry but was very polite.

He wanted to solve the matter peacefully.

Because once a war breaks out, it will hurt many innocents.

This is, ladies and gentlemen, the indecisive quality of the Kozuki Family. The descendants of Saratobi.

Redfield approached Kozuki Sukiyaki, while the latter kept cautiously staring at him.

"Mr. Redfield, I don't know why you invaded Wano, is there something we did wrong?

If so, can you clarify it? We are willing to sit and discuss things in a civilized manner."

Redfield shook his head with a look of disdain.

Kozuki Sukiyaki may be a very kind, and benevolent monarch.

But in this sea, benevolence is death.

"Our mighty and glorious lord has taken a fancy to this land, and hence this land is his for the taken. Don't worry, though. We will send you to your death courteously. We are civilized people, after all."

Redfield didn't play around and directly stated his purpose.

The Samurai were furious after listening to what he said.

"Damn it, you are just some filthy pirates! Why so arrogant?!"

"Yes, hurry up and leave our country! You are not welcome here!"

Kozuki Sukiyaki didn't even get the chance to speak, and the samurai behind became furious.

Redfield didn't care about their insults and slowly drew out the sword. Glaring at the Shogun with disdain.

"Pathetic."

Kozuki Sukiyaki seemed to finally realize that war is inevitable, so he sighed and looked at Redfield somewhat helplessly.

"I didn't want to engage in this boring battle at all, but since you don't want to leave, then I have no choice but to kill you."

Sonorous...

CLANG CLANG CLANG

TING TING TING

Countless warriors drew out their swords and clanged.

The katanas shone dazzlingly under the sun.

"ATTACK!"

Redfield gave a violent shout and then dashed out first.

The other pirates immediately followed.

Thousands of people rushed toward the samurai.

"Sigh"

After sighing one final time, Kozuki's face turned bloodthirsty, and ferociously yelled:

"KILL EVERYONE HERE. DON'T LET A SINGLE OF THESE SCUM LEAVE THIS PLACE ALIVE!!!"

Kozuki Sukiyaki raised his katana and blocked Redfield's attack.

BAAAAANG

BOOOOOM!

"HO! HO! HO! HO!"

The loud roaring of the Samurai shook the battlefield.

BOOM!

Artillery shells fired.

BOOOOM! BOOM! BOOOOM!
