Pirate Throne of Salt

"Well, it's a long story!"

The boss of Cat Viper hung his pipe, took a puff, and blew out a smoke ring. He recalled what happened a year ago, and his expression looked a little lonely.

Duke Inuarashi clenched his fists.

"We are worthy of the name of the Nine Red Scabbard Heroes..."

"If we hadn't harmed His Highness Oden that day, His Highness Oden would have successfully escaped!"

After Duke Inarashi said this, Neko Viper continued.

"That day, after Mr. Matthew and you were sent away by Mrs. Shi's ability, Kaido completely exploded. Oden fought Kaido with all his strength, but in the end he was defeated."

"In order to cover us, Oden-sama blocked all Kaido's attacks by himself."

Matthew nodded, the information was similar to what he had inquired about, but he still asked.

"What then?"

"Later, under the arrangement of Mrs. Shi, some of the nine of us were transported to 20 years later, and the other part, that is, me and that stupid dog, stayed behind to wait for you."

After hearing this, Matthew has determined that this is what Oden left for him.

Neko Viper and Inuarashi took down a sword box from a wall in the hall.

The two fingers pressed the upper body of the sword box at the same time.

"Crack!"

After the sword box was opened, a samurai sword lay quietly inside.

"Lord Oden, let us hand this sword over to you personally."

The scabbard of the samurai sword has flower-like carvings in purple color, and the sword is three-petal shaped. This sword is Oden's sword, named Yama.

You are really willing to give it to me directly.

"Buzz!"

At this moment, Yan Mo, who opened the sword box, seemed to be attracted and made a buzzing sound.

"Huh? What's the situation?"

Neko Viper looked at Yama strangely, while Inuarashi followed Yama's gaze towards another knife that also vibrated. That knife was apparently the one hanging on Tokio's waist - Sakura Fall!

"Uh, don't look at me, I don't know what's going on!"

Shisheng held Yingluo in one hand, but it was still trembling.

Cat Viper blew out a smoke ring.

"It seems that the two swords resonated. I have seen it in the hands of His Highness Oden, but the one that resonated was Tian Yu Yu Zhan."

"Shh!"

Since he couldn't stop the buzzing, Shi Sheng pulled out Yingluo directly.

"Buzz!"

The unsheathed Sakura began to absorb the domineering energy in Shisheng's body without any recruitment, and wrapped a layer of pink gas around the blade.

Shi Sheng's arm turned into the size of a stick in an instant.

"Spit it out for me!"

With a loud shout, armed domineering energy covered his arms, and the buzzing of Sakura gradually subsided.

"Shi Sheng, what's going on?"

Matthew was a little confused. Logically speaking, Shi Sheng's sword had been tamed for so many years. Why did it suddenly go berserk today? Could it be that Yama can affect other swords?

"Matthew, I want to try this Yama."

"Ok?"

"I'm actually a two-sword swordsman!"

"What!"

A two-sword swordsman? !Matthew said, "You're just teasing me!"

"I am indeed a two-sword swordsman, but I can't find a sword that matches Sakura Luo in my country, so I have been practicing the basic skills of one-sword style. But in fact, the two-sword style is what I am best at."

"As for Yingluo's sword, only one that can match her can show its true strength. I think, maybe, today, I found it!"

After thinking for a moment, Matthew nodded.

After all, I don’t use a knife, so if I keep it here it’s just a collection.

Neko Viper and Inuarashi looked at each other in tacit understanding this time and threw the sword box to Tokio.

Then the group came to an open area.

"Shh!"

Pull out Yama from the sword box.

"boom!"

"Give me quiet!"

"Buzz!"

Sakura, who had been suppressed on her left hand, became restless again under the constant influence of Yama on her right hand.

Two haloes of light, one pink and one purple, continuously extracted the domineering energy from Shisheng's body.

"Hey!! That's too hasty. If you keep going like this, be careful you get sucked dry!"

"drink!"

Shi Sheng ignored Matthew, but shouted loudly, and a powerful aura suddenly burst out.

Slowly, he raised the two knives to the deserted ground and slashed lightly, making two slashes in mid-air.

"Boom!"

Wherever the slash passed, trees were broken, and two traces extending tens of meters were left on the ground.

However, it seems that due to the release of two slashes, Sakura Luo and Yan Mo are now much more at ease.

"Huhuhu..."

At this time, Shisheng looked as if he had just undergone a major health care treatment. His face was pale and his legs were weak.

"Crack!"

Putting the two swords into their scabbards, Shisheng lay down on the ground with Matthew's support.

"I'm still too weak. I don't think I can control these two swords at the same time."

"I'm so confused. Anyway, the knife is here and no one else can take it away. As long as you think about it, you will definitely master it."

After casually comforting Shisheng, Matthew followed Neko Viper and Inuarashi to another place, while a group of fur animals carried Shisheng to rest.

……

Duke Inarashi sat on a chair, and after reading Oden's letter to Matthew, he stared into Matthew's eyes.

"Sir Matthew, both of us actually understand the purpose of your coming. His Highness Oden has also explained to us that the fur tribe needs to be your help in the future."

"That stupid dog is right, but we, Sir Matthew, we hope to see hope in you, the hope of defeating Kaido!!!"

"Yes, His Highness Oden once said that you are a man who has escaped the shackles of fate, but precisely because of this, your future is full of uncertainties. Therefore, we hope to see hope in you!"

Matthew nodded. In fact, Matthew could understand what they were talking about. After all, handing over a place with the same strength as a medium-sized country to others. If it is just used as a pawn in the future, I am afraid that wanting to avenge Oden's humiliation is probably a dream. Done.

"So you two, how do you want to see hope in me?"

Matthew found a chair and sat on it without any courtesy, crossing his legs.

"However, I can't guarantee who I will be in the future. I also have my own life, and I won't be burdened with too many things."

"To put it simply, although I am very sad and even sorry for Oden's death, I will not change the trajectory of my life for the sake of other people's lives!"

"I don't know, you two, can you understand what I mean?"
