After harboring the idea of taking Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
Gawain's gaze towards Yoriichi Tsugikuni immediately changed.
Meeting Yoriichi Tsugikuni's seemingly calm but actually sharp gaze, Gawain crossed his arms.
"So, are you willing to accept my suggestion?"
It seems you're unwilling, which makes sense. Your Demon Slayer Corps, for example, loves to cut down beings who are beyond human comprehension, right?
So come on, don't waste our time.
I'll just stand here and wait until you're tired of chopping before we talk."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain stood firmly in place, while Kaido in his mind laughed incessantly.
Kaido laughed heartily and nodded in satisfaction.
"To think that he could cultivate the strength that only a great swordsman could possess in such a weak world!"
If I were alive, I would recruit a guy like that with the same enthusiasm as you!
We are certainly geniuses, but beyond genius, what's even more important for a leader is to be an excellent talent scout!
Gawain, I don't know how you managed to send me into your heart as a terracotta warrior.
But anyway, let this guy keep me company!
I will give him everything I know, and he is absolutely qualified to become a monster-like great swordsman, hahaha!
At this point, Kaido smiled, revealing an expectant expression.
He continued, his voice brimming with anticipation.
"I'm an old man, but I'm best at being a mentor!"
"Yes, you're best at being a teacher, Kaido."
Gawain exchanged a silent greeting with Kaido in his mind, then focused his attention on Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
Meeting Gawain's intrigued gaze, Yoriichi Tsugikuni didn't feel insulted; his worries only intensified.
The existence of Muzan Kibutsuji who can turn ordinary people into demons, is already enough for the world to bear.
Even so, it still wasn't enough. Now, another one... a guy that even they couldn't handle has appeared!!!
Kibutsugu Muzan was incredibly strong; Yoriichi Tsugikuni still vividly remembers the feeling of his first encounter with him.
At that time, Muzan Kibutsuji not as secretive and mysterious as he was during the future Demon Slayer storyline.
Before encountering Yoriichi Tsugikuni, Muzan Kibutsuji was at least a figure who could stand with his hands in his pockets and find no worthy opponent.
At that time, he acted without restraint, following his whims, appearing at will to kill and massacre entire cities.
This is why the Demon Slayer Corps during the Sengoku period was far more powerful than it is in the future.
At this time, the Demon Slayer Corps not only consisted of pitiful people who had been displaced and lost their families because of demons, but also countless samurai families from various daimyo factions!
Now that the Sengoku has progressed to this point, even the Tokugawa Shogunate and Toyotomi Shogunate, which are locked in a fierce standoff, have a considerable number of samurai joining the Demon Slayer Corps.
There's no other reason than that ghosts in this era are far too rampant; they don't act in secret like they would in the future.
This high-profile approach made most ordinary people in Japan aware of the existence of demons.
Tsugikuni Family a well-known samurai family, and served under Nagao Kagetora.
Later, didn't he join the Demon Slayer Corps under Yoriichi Tsugikuni's leadership?
Yoriichi Tsugikuni has never had a rival since birth!
Before he was ten years old, he was not favored or nurtured by his father because he was the second son.
At that time, his elder brother slept in the best bedroom, while he himself slept in the kitchen.
Everything changed when Yoriichi Tsugikuni years old.
That year, Yoriichi Tsugikuni's father wanted to teach Yoriichi Tsugikuni swordsmanship.
He intended to appoint his eldest son as the next head of the family, and to cultivate his magnanimity and strategic thinking from a young age.
Then let the youngest son live in poverty to temper his mind and patience.
He used this as a weapon to assist his eldest son in leading the family.
This was Yoriichi Tsugikuni's father's original idea.
But on the day of sword practice...
Yoriichi Tsugikuni sword for the first time, defeated his samurai father, who had been immersed in the way of swordsmanship for more than 20 years, in just a moment!
In an instant, he unleashed four sword strikes, interrupting his father's movements with his wooden sword and knocking out his father's teeth.
From that moment on, the father immediately began to focus on cultivating Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
After witnessing Yoriichi Tsugikuni's astonishing swordsmanship talent, Yoriichi Tsugikuni's father quickly adjusted his approach to educating his son!
From then on, the eldest son Michikatsu Tsugikuni, would sleep in the kitchen, and the youngest son, Yoriichi Tsugikuni, would become the next head of the family!
Yoriichi Tsugikuni's father believed that with Yoriichi Tsugikuni's strength, he could become the chief samurai under the daimyo and the number one warrior in the land, just like Honda Tadakatsu!
With Yoriichi Tsugikuni's leadership, the Tsugikuni family definitely has a chance to rise from an ordinary samurai family to become a domain lord or even a daimyo of a region!!!
From that moment on, Yoriichi Tsugikuni's martial arts journey truly began, and in this process... he never encountered a worthy opponent!!!
Being invincible is indeed lonely, but Yoriichi Tsugikuni was not lonely. Although he had the talent of being the best in the world, he did not like fighting, so much so that... he ultimately failed to shoulder his father's dream of revitalizing the Tsugikuni Family.
Especially during this process, Yoriichi Tsugikuni learned of the existence of demons!
Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who dislikes killing, has finally found his purpose in life!
Even those demons were not enough to cause Yoriichi Tsugikuni trouble.
Before encountering Muzan Kibutsuji, Yoriichi Tsugikuni had experienced tension in battle.
And the moment he Muzan Kibutsuji...
Muzan Kibutsuji swept across his cheek and crashed into the surrounding bamboo forest!
In that instant, Yoriichi Tsugikuni covered in sweat.
For the first time, he realized that if he were to be hit by any of his careless actions...
I'll die!!!
Many people are wondering how Muzan Kibutsuji lost to Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
What they didn't know was that it was all just an accident.
Yoriichi, terrified by the feeling of death being so close for the first time in his life, immediately reacted with Yoriichi Tsugikuni fright and his fur stood on end!
He used all twelve forms of the Sun Breathing in an instant.
Thus, the strongest form of Sun Breathing, the Thirteenth Form, was developed.
The thirteenth form of Sun Breathing is simply using all twelve forms of Sun Breathing, forming a cycle...
In short, Muzan Kibutsuji a single blow.
That is, the five heads and seven hearts hidden inside his body.
This Muzan Kibutsuji; how could there be someone like Yoriichi Tsugikuni in the world?
So he just self-destructed into 1,800 pieces and ran away!
Seeing the more than 1,800 pieces of flesh and blood that Muzan Kibutsuji, Yoriichi Tsugikuni was terrified again!
What the hell is this?!
In a moment of terror, he unleashed 1,500 sword strikes, destroying 1,500 pieces of flesh and blood.
With only three hundred pieces of flesh remaining, Muzan Kibutsuji could barely regenerate using only the flesh the size of his head.
And...
From that time until now, Muzan Kibutsuji has never appeared again...
Just like how Muzan would never have crawled out of the corner if Yoriichi Tsugikuni hadn't died.
This habit has even been preserved into the future.
In the future, Muzan Kibutsuji when most of his subordinates have been killed and the strength of his enemies has been thoroughly tested.
He would never openly appear before the Demon Slayer Corps.
Because he's afraid.
He feared that another Yoriichi Tsugikuni would appear in the world!!!
In conclusion
After encountering Muzan Kibutsuji.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni hasn't felt any danger for a full ten years!
But now.
Even with his sword gripped tightly, Yoriichi Tsugikuni's breathing inevitably became slightly heavier.
Buzzing!!!
Because of his immense grip strength, the sword in his hand not only transformed into Bright Red Nichirin Sword, but the temperature also caused the air to subtly vaporize.
Gripping the knife, he addressed Gawain.
"Although I don't know what kind of life form you are, you are definitely not an ordinary human!"
No matter how good your attitude is, I cannot take it lightly!
Therefore, please forgive my offense!
Even if I am ultimately defeated and die, I will fight with all my might to kill you!
Yoriichi Tsugikuni he finished speaking, Yoriichi Tsugikuni leaped up and rushed in front of Gawain.
Surrounding Gawain's body, Yoriichi Tsugikuni's knife struck Gawain's body with a clanging sound, just like forging iron.
Initially, the knives were mainly concentrated in Gawain's chest and other areas.
Later, the knife gradually became more sinister. Yoriichi Tsugikuni gritted his teeth, put aside his dignity, and stabbed the knife directly at Gawain's groin and eyelids.
Even so, Gawain was surrounded by black energy.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni still couldn't break through his defenses.
Having no understanding of Armament Haki, he would never comprehend that there was actually a defensive ability in the world that was tied to physical strength and almost driven by willpower!
One second, two seconds...
One minute, two minutes...
Sixteen minutes passed Yoriichi Tsugikuni finally stopped wielding his sword and lay sprawled on the ground.
He was completely exhausted; he couldn't even lift his sword.
Knowing his limits for the first time in his life, Yoriichi Tsugikuni this experience.
In fact, his Transparent World allowed him to see not only the blood vessels and cells of other people, but also a glimpse of the future a second from now.
But regardless, a defeat is a defeat.
Unable to break through the defense...
I can't even cut through a thin layer of clothing!!!
Every Demon Slayer Corps is destined to die at the hands of a demon.
Even though I've left the Demon Slayer Corps, it seems I can't escape my predetermined fate...
Even though Yoriichi Tsugikuni didn't say anything, Gawain could feel his despair.
So he shook his head and went to Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who was lying in a starfish position.
At a glance, Yoriichi Tsugikuni's muscles had turned bluish-purple, and his skin was swollen.
As for his veins, the blood had already seeped through his pores to the surface of his skin, turning his yellow lining the same color as his red satchel.
If the surface of the body is like this, then the inside must be even worse.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni's body was like a tangled mess, already tormented into an inhuman state by his own actions.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni's downfall was definitely not a helpless surrender.
He is not someone who gives up easily, and such a person would not possess his talent.
Now, he simply... can no longer stand up!
Looking at Yoriichi Tsugikuni such a state, Gawain nodded appreciatively.
Even in the world of Yoriichi Tsugikuni's.
He only stopped the challenge after his bones broke, his muscles tore, and his blood vessels burst.
If someone like that were to appear in the world of Saint Seiya...
Then how can the five young heroes possibly have any room to perform?
Give Yoriichi Tsugikuni a Libra Cloth, or just give him a divine sword.
He would have had to rely on sheer willpower to do sit-ups and hack his way down Olympus.
Unfortunately, you can't do sit-ups in Demon Slayer.
In this world, only demons can do sit-ups; even Luffy couldn't do it.
So Gawain reached out and tapped Yoriichi Tsugikuni's skin briefly.
As Gawain moved, Yoriichi Tsugikuni's skin trembled slightly, and the blood droplets on his skin were instantly shaken away by the rhythmic vibrations.
After making Yoriichi Tsugikuni look a little cleaner, Gawain tidied up Yoriichi Tsugikuni's hair a bit.
Sensing Gawain's movement, Yoriichi Tsugikuni opened his mouth without opening his eyes, wanting to say something, but unable to utter a word.
That's really the limit!
Seeing this, Gawain had no choice but to pick up Yoriichi Tsugikuni's clothes at random.
"You, do you really need to use so much force?"
I've been very friendly; you shouldn't have put yourself in this situation.
So, you still need to be trained, a lot of training is needed.
"It's alright, I have plenty of time on this trip. Let me teach you slowly from now on, Yoriichi Tsugikuni."
At this point, Gawain clearly saw a hint of confusion on Yoriichi Tsugikuni's face.
Although he no longer had the strength to control his facial muscles.
But a few emotions were still visible.
Noticing Yoriichi Tsugikuni's confusion, Gawain grinned.
"I know what you're worried about, haha."
Aren't you just worried that I'm another demon far Muzan Kibutsuji?
But have you ever thought that since ghosts already exist in the world, why can't there be a being specifically designed to slay them?
Or perhaps, since ghosts really do exist...
Why can't there be a God in this world?
Just as Gawain finished speaking, Yoriichi Tsugikuni paused for a moment, then desperately opened his eyes.
Looking at Yoriichi Tsugikuni's bloodshot eyes, Gawain smiled slightly, then placed Yoriichi Tsugikuni back on the ground.
"Heh, let me show you what kind of being I truly am, Yoriichi Tsugikuni."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain suddenly leaped into the air!
As Gawain soared into the sky, Yuan Yoriichi Tsugikuni widened in shock, but before he could even catch his breath, what followed left him even more breathless!
In his eyes, Gawain's body changed in an instant, and blue scales emerged from Gawain!
Immediately afterwards...
The three elements of wind, fire, and thunder permeated the clouds, instantly obscuring the town below.
Originally, when Yoriichi Tsugikuni and Gawain were fighting, the guards and samurai around them did not dare to approach and only dared to watch silently from a distance.
Now, all the samurai were kneeling on the ground, staring blankly at the dragon in the sky alongside the common people they despised most!
At the same time, everyone around them lost the strength to speak.
Gawain's dragon head slowly descended from the air.
Now that he knows what kind of world he's in, Gawain doesn't need to pretend anymore. The limits of this world are no match for him, so he can certainly be more carefree in this world.
He lowered the dragon head near Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
"Hey, Yoriichi Tsugikuni, do you know who I am now?"
How about we make an agreement?
Now, let me personally cleanse this world of ghosts.
And you...
After there are no more demons or ghosts in the world.
"Leave this mortal realm and become my subordinate!!!"
