Chapter 165 Jiuli·Toushan
Rain Moon Tempura loosened and then tightened her right hand, which was resting on the hilt of the sword.
It seems to express the resentment in the heart of this famous person.
The strong are called strong because they are strong.
In addition to excellent physical fitness, there is also self-awareness.
With my current strength, who can I defeat? Can I defeat someone stronger than myself through perseverance?
But there is one type of strong person that even those with willpower harder than steel cannot defeat.
There were two of them right in front of me.
There was a feeling in my heart about the rain-moon tempura.
If I make another move, I will die.
He wasn't afraid of dying, but he was afraid of dying in a meaningless way.
Knowing that they were no match for the enemy, he still had to charge forward for the sake of his people; this was the education he received before becoming a daimyo.
但·
If I die, and Orochi can do whatever he wants in Wano Country...
Then I would have died in vain.
If my death can bring peace and prosperity to Wano Country, then I don't care if I die.
Endure humiliation and forge ahead despite the heavy burden!
He lowered his head slightly, the shadow on his forehead concealing the bloodshot eyes and resentment in them.
"Please come in, gentlemen. I will be very hospitable in Daming Prefecture."
"If Lord Tengetsu is also able to attend the banquet, I will treat him with the courtesy due to a daimyo."
Bazel slowly rose and accepted the invitation.
"Davgo, inform Ganqiao that we are going to Damingfu."
"Yes, Boss Bazel!"
Rain Moon Tempura turned to the side.
"This way, please."
"Bearing humiliation and hardship is a good thing, Your Excellency."
As Bazel and Kaido walked past Amatsuki Tempura, they left behind several murmurs.
"But not every time we carry a heavy load, we can move forward. I don't want the lords of other districts to know of our existence."
"The situation is still uncertain, so it's best to sit back and watch the show."
"When the army of justice marches out of Kuri, it will mark the beginning of a peaceful and prosperous era in Wano Country."
"I understand."
[Wano Country, Kuri, north of Oden Castle, Toyama]
at the foot of the mountain.
Using the giant's speed, the group stopped at Tengetsu after roughly circling around Kuri.
"This is it, right? Bazel said a group of outlaws gather on this mountain."
"Big Sister~ 1303/1304—"
Enel, who was hopping around like a duck, asked:
"Why do we need to visit other parts of Jiuli before reaching Tousan?"
"Loki and his two companions have caused quite a commotion. Will this be beneficial to our next move?"
"Kid, you should call me Boss Loki!"
Loki, who was sitting by the stream drinking water, looked up.
Let the cool stream flow into your chest.
"Phew, it's so cool here. It was still springtime in the Flower Capital before we left, so why has it turned into the sweltering summer here?"
"This country is really strange."
"That's how Wano Country is."
After taking off her straw hat, Tianyue sat on a rock by the stream, her fair feet dipping into the water.
"Wano Country has a total of six regions, and each region has a different season."
"This strange phenomenon has occurred before, when we were still at the foot of the mountain. I didn't expect it to still happen when we got to the mountainside."
"Loki~~~"
In the distance, through the forest, Donley and Brogy approached, carrying several large wild boars.
"Let's just have some roasted wild boar for lunch; it seems there aren't any bigger prey around here."
"That kind of thing doesn't matter~"
Loki yawned and lay down.
"Let's charge straight in after lunch. With our strength, there's no need to hide anything."
"My brother said that this mountain is the habitat of a group of bandits."
"I want to see just how strong those landlubbers are."
"2000!"
Enel stopped his duck jump, took Dorry's shield, and slung it over his shoulder.
His whole body was covered in bulging veins.
"Kid, if you keep training like this, your body will break down prematurely."
Loki blinked.
"Don't use the Titans' training methods to train yourself; humans and Titans are different."
"You can just follow your own training methods."
"How can that be!"
Enel's legs trembled, but he still tried his best to squat even lower.
"Brother Bazel said it!"
"If you want to defeat a monster, you must first become a monster!"
"Only by becoming a monster can you understand monsters, and only then can you defeat them!"
"Even if I, Enel, die on the road to victory, I will never be a burden!"
"That's a good awareness, but!"
Dorry snatched his shield and instead picked up a rock twice the size of Enel and set it aside.
"Next time, please don't use my shield as a training tool."
"This stone is more suitable for you; it's much lighter than my shield."
"Also, don't do those squats anymore. If you really want to get stronger, here, take this."
"A rope?" Enel asked, puzzled.
"This is what's called weighted training, which means you have to stop all those fancy training methods."
"Tie this boulder to your body, and from now on, no matter what you do, you must always carry this stone with you."
"The day you can hop and skip around with it and walk like a normal person, that means you've completed your training."
"is that so?"
Enel asked Dorry to help him tie the stone, and he took a few steps with some doubt.
"That's easy! This rock isn't even as heavy as your shield!"
"Hehehe~~"
Bloki bleeds wild boars downstream. A major reason why most wild boar meat doesn't taste as good as domestic pork is its pungent blood and well-developed glands.
If you can drain as much blood and urine as possible before they die, and then add scallions, ginger, and star anise, the taste will be much better.
"Come on, wait until you can hold out until nightfall. This is training that even giants had to go through as kids!"
After the bloodletting, fire-making, and barbecue lunch were finished, the sun had already passed its zenith and was slowly setting in the west.
"Now that we've eaten and drunk our fill, let's set off!"
Wiping the grease from the corners of his mouth, Tianyue Shi got up, put on his straw hat, and took the lead in heading towards the mountain peak.
"These bandits frequently attack Taoyuan Farm, and I've heard many old men complaining about it."
"Bazaar sent us here, probably because he valued the fighting strength of these bandits."
Loki followed closely behind, the word "King" gleaming on his black cloak.
"To be honest, whether those bandits join us or not makes no difference to us."
"If we encounter an enemy, just let Dorry and Brogy unleash their power."
"Let alone the city walls, judging from the skill level of the swordsmen here, a single Overlord's strike would be enough to terrify them."
Tian Yue shook her head helplessly. She finally understood why Bazel had asked her to come along.
"Loki, this is, after all, human society."
"We need a human army; you are killers."
"If we rely on you to attack Oden Castle, it will unite the samurai army there to resist us."
"That's not what I need."
"If we can subdue the bandit groups here and get them to settle in Oden Castle, we will face much less resistance in the early stages."
"Alright, alright, it's up to you, sister-in-law."
Loki moved his hands back and raised them, placing them on either end of the giant hammer.
"I thought I could get some exercise, but it looks like that's not going to happen again."
"Big sister, wait for me, wait for me, it smells, it smells—"
Enel, who was carrying the large rock up the mountain at the very end, was panting heavily.
"Why is this rock so heavy!?"
Dongli burst into laughter upon seeing this.
"Kid, you're not just carrying stones on your back, you're carrying a man's backbone!"
Brogy's loud laughter echoed, "That's right, that's right. We won't laugh at you if you admit defeat, after all, you're just a little brat!"
"It's normal for a human brat to not be able to complete the training of a giant brat, after all, you're human, cack cack~"
"Damn it, you two arrogant, huge bastards!"
Enel gritted his teeth and quickened his pace.
"I will definitely make you all look at me in a new light!!"
Dorry and Brogy exchanged a glance and raised their hands to give a thumbs-up to their chests.
Amatsuki shook his head helplessly, realizing the two's intentions.
"Enel, don't push yourself too hard."
Just then, the iron thunder suddenly struck Tian Yue Shi's right side, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Loki's expression darkened: "Hey, Dorry, Brogy, I don't care if you two are encouraging this brat..."
Bang~!
An arrow flew from the dense forest.
Judging from the flight path, if Loki hadn't suddenly slammed down the iron mine...
This arrow will successfully pierce the heart of Tengetsu.
"But my sister-in-law is someone my brother told us to protect. If she gets hurt, I'll have no face to go back and see my brother."
Dorry and Brogy's faces turned pale, then flushed crimson.
"Those despicable bandits! How dare they attack the only woman among them!!"
"Broki, let them see the wrath of the Titans!"
"That's exactly what I was thinking too!"
huh~~
A strong wind blew away the forest that had been obscuring the view, revealing several mountain bandits and warriors with bows drawn and arrows nocked.
"Humans, you have successfully provoked the giants' wrath!"
"The Spear of Elbaf!"
Before the vengeful Tianyue could react, a dazzling beam of light blasted towards the bandit who had fired the arrow.
"Hegemony!!!"
