As soon as Juzo Biwa finished speaking, a sinister voice rang out from the white mist. "Heh heh heh, Juzo, you're always bragging about how strong you are, but you nearly got cut down by a little brat. You really are pathetic! Longsword, Nuibari!"
As the voice rang out, razor-sharp steel wires shot toward Might Guy like lightning.
"Guy, watch out! Scattering Money in a Rain of Flowers!"
The moment Juzo Biwa finished speaking, Shizune had warily scanned the white haze surrounding them. Then she saw countless sharp steel wires glinting coldly as they wound toward Might Guy. Without hesitation, she used the Scattering Money in a Rain of Flowers technique she had recently learned, sending her weapons toward the source of the wires in the hope that her opponent would abandon his attack on Might Guy to defend himself.

"Kushimaru Kuriarare, you owe me your life. Remember to repay me, or I'll collect it myself!"
"Shut up, Munashi Jinpachi! Do you believe I'll cut you down right now?"
At those words, Kushimaru Kuriarare continued manipulating the steel wires to ensnare Might Guy while snapping impatiently at Munashi Jinpachi.
