Let's See My Strength! I Want Rokushiki!

Although they had heard of him, the three CP0 agents were still somewhat surprised when they actually saw Ian with their own eyes.

An eight-year-old king was quite an astonishing situation, even across the entire Blue Sea.

However, aside from his status, this young king was also extraordinary.

On the way from the port, the Wano Country samurai escorting them had proudly stated that the young king had single-handedly defeated an army.

He was Kaido's disciple.

Was the Beasts Pirates about to gain another monster?

The CP0 agents thought to themselves.

But it didn't matter to them.

That was a concern for their superiors.

Oh no, it was the Navy's concern, nothing to do with them.

However, the king's background was not important to them either.

They were here for a transaction.

"Your Majesty Ian,"

The CP0 agent with the goat mask stepped forward, adopting a humble posture and speaking in a gentle tone, "Can we begin discussing cooperation?"

"No rush,"

Ian turned around and leaned against the railing, "Come and watch with me, a good show is about to begin."

A good show?

The goat-masked agent hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and stood by the railing.

In the plaza below, a man was about to be executed.

They had seen this when they arrived.

Was this the good show the young king wanted them to watch?

He wanted them to witness an execution?

How truly sadistic. Could this be what happens when you're a disciple trained by Kaido?

Ian didn't look back, "Fukurokuju, how are the arrangements?"

The top ninja under his command immediately replied, "The ninjas and samurai who were urgently recalled have been positioned around the Tenshu Castle. As soon as the enemy appears, they will be able to counter."

The goat-masked agent finally understood.

This child king was setting a trap.

Was the target the remnant resistance forces of this country?

Below, on the execution platform, Shimotsuki Yasuie, his body wrapped in bandages, knelt quietly. Two execution samurai had already taken the stage, cleaning their sharp blades with wet towels.

Around the execution platform, the onlookers in the crowd showed varying degrees of unwillingness.

Shimotsuki Yasuie was a renowned samurai daimyo of Wano Country.

Even if he had committed a great crime, they shouldn't deny him the chance for seppuku and instead behead him directly!

The era of the samurai seemed to be truly over.

The people were still struggling to adapt to such changes.

One of the execution samurai stepped forward, raising his sharp katana high. In the next moment, he was about to sever Shimotsuki Yasuie's head.

However, at that very moment, a sharp arrow suddenly flew in, and the executioner who had raised his sword fell to the ground.

"Charge! Save Lord Kanjuro!"

From the rear of the crowd, several samurai suddenly burst out from the houses lining the street.

And at the end of the street, the sound of heavy hooves echoed as a group of samurai galloped in.

"Whoa, no way? They actually managed to get a group of warhorses in Flower Capital?"

Ian said softly from the Tenshu Castle.

This commotion was a bit too much.

Fukurokuju instantly broke out in a cold sweat, "It's my dereliction of duty."

But he had his reasons. His ninjas had all been dispatched earlier, and the security in Flower Capital was already thin. Even with an emergency recall, there wasn't enough time to search the capital.

"I'll have the ambushed personnel move out immediately."

Fukurokuju prepared to redeem himself.

However, Ian turned around and looked at the goat-masked agent, "Can you show me the strength of CP0?"

"What?" the goat-masked agent's tone was surprised, "Your Majesty Ian, we are not your subordinates."

CP0 were special agents directly under the Celestial Dragons. Only the Celestial Dragons could mobilize them.

Ian raised his sharp eyebrows, "Then you can leave. If you can't even fulfill such a simple request, what's there to talk about regarding cooperation?"

Tsk.

Ian clearly heard a clicking sound from behind the goat mask.

"Please wait a moment."

Compromise.

Stopping the transaction was out of the question.

If the deal fell through for such a foolish reason, he'd be skinned alive back at headquarters.

The goat mask turned around. "Let's go."

The remaining two CP0 agents didn't object, merely nodding slightly.

The next second, all three jumped down from the castle keep simultaneously.

Below.

Shimotsuki Yasuie looked up and saw samurai rushing through the crowd towards the execution platform.

He also saw the rapidly approaching cavalry behind the panicked, scattering populace.

He felt a pang of anxiety. "Go back! I order you to go back!"

The monstrous youth named Ian was in the castle keep above! Even Kaido was there!

How could they possibly win?

But the samurai, who had always obeyed his orders without question, defied him this time, charging forward fearlessly.

Unwavering.

"Rankyaku: Storm!"

A loud shout suddenly came from above.

The sharp sound of tearing air buzzed like a swarm of insects. Several samurai charging onto the execution platform looked up. In the sky, azure slashes rained down like a tempest.

Shimotsuki Yasuie's eyes widened. A cloud of blood mist suddenly bloomed before him.

Every single samurai, whose names he knew clearly, was torn to shreds by the storm of slashes descending from the sky. Limbs and mangled bodies flew everywhere.

"No!!"

Shimotsuki Yasuie screamed at the top of his lungs.

The goat mask landed lightly beside Shimotsuki Yasuie.

Above them, the other two CP0 agents propelled themselves forward by stomping on the air, instantly meeting the charging cavalry.

"Shigan."

One of the CP0 agents, like an elegant pianist, tapped the air with his fingers. However, such gentle movements resulted in a torrential downpour of invisible "bullets."

The samurai at the forefront and their horses were hit. In the blink of an eye, the street was awash in blood.

The other CP0 agent landed directly in the center of the cavalry, as if completely ignoring the blades hacking towards him.

"Tekkai: Steel!"

With crisp clangs, the blades that struck him not only failed to harm him but instead caused the samurai wielding them to grimace in pain as their swords were deflected.

Then, this CP0 agent leaped slightly, raised his right leg, and spun his body. "Rankyaku: Whirlwind!"

A massive, circular slash spread out, sweeping through everything around him, including the samurai.

They suddenly found their vision flipping, their bodies soaring through the air.

Shimotsuki Yasuie's eyes were about to burst.

Everyone was cut in half instantly!

Even the surrounding houses were sliced apart!

The goat mask nodded lightly, acknowledging their speed.

He looked at the other executioner slumped on the ground. "What are you waiting for? Continue."

The executioner once again stood behind Shimotsuki Yasuie and raised his blade.

Shimotsuki Yasuie, however, simply stared blankly at the blood-soaked street, his shoulders trembling slightly, remaining silent.

It was all over.

The blade descended.

Accompanied by the slight gasps of the surrounding citizens, the last Daimyo of this country met his end.

From this day forward, the Shogunate era of Wano Country was completely over. This country would have only one King.

On the castle keep.

"Your Majesty Ian,"

The goat mask knelt on a soft cushion, tilting his head to look at Ian, who was casually seated at the head of the room. "Shall we begin?"

"That's called Rokushiki, isn't it? Truly interesting techniques."

Ian, however, said with great interest, "Teach it to me, consider it your sincerity."

What?

The goat-masked man froze for a moment.

This kid is talking about Rokushiki?

The next second, he roared, "Your Majesty Ian! Don't push your luck! Rokushiki is a government secret."

Ian's eyes widened, and an invisible aura roared out, "Either teach it to me honestly, or get lost right now! Or else,"

"You can have the Marines send an army to fight us! The Beasts Pirates will gladly oblige at any time!"

Conqueror's Haki!

This brat!!

The goat-masked man's pupils suddenly contracted.

"There's never a shortage of buyers for Seastone,"

Ian said coldly, "You can make your choice."

Anyway, Teacher Kai said to just go for it.

The goat-masked man, who had been aggressive moments ago, fell silent.

A few seconds later, he sat back down. "I need to report to my superiors."
