"What did you say?" Zenitsu looked a little dazed.
Then a storm of thoughts swept through his head.
He was no fool.
He knew Su Chen bringing this up had to mean something.
Kaigaku was his senior fellow disciple, a fellow successor to Thunder Breathing.
And they shared a master.
The former Rumble Hashira, Jigoro Kuwajima.
