"What's your name?"
Werther's tone was calm. He had no intention of threatening the young samurai; the pain was already pushing him to the brink.
"My name is... Nakahayashi Sa."
The young samurai hesitated, then gave his name.
As Nakahayashi Sa saw it, giving his name was no great matter, so long as he revealed nothing about his country.
"Tell me about Wano Country."
Werther's question left Nakahayashi Sa speechless. He began to struggle with himself.
Nakahayashi Sa would never forget the agony he had just endured. He wondered whether he should feed Werther false information.
While Nakahayashi Sa hesitated, several Thunder Needles pierced his body.
Nakahayashi Sa jolted and began convulsing violently. In less than five seconds, he went into shock.

Guard duty at the docks usually fell to elderly samurai.
Werther jabbed Nakahayashi Sa over the heart with his index finger, sending a current through his body.
The jolt restarted Nakahayashi Sa's heart, and he slowly woke.
"Kill... kill me."
Nakahayashi Sa's voice had grown hoarse. The tear tracks covering his face made it clear he was no iron-willed samurai.

"How can I enter Wano Country without being discovered?"
Unexpectedly, Werther got no answer this time either.
Several Thunder Needles formed again, and terror filled Nakahayashi
