I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"You stay here to protect the ship."

At this time, Ogata's voice suddenly reached the ears of Azuki and the others.

Hearing Ogata's words, Azuki finally came to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream.

Azhu looked around, and saw that Ogata had retracted Da Shitian's sheath, holding a wakizashi that he had just dug up from the corpses of pirates all over the floor in his hand. state.

Pirates are not like samurai, they carry a sword and wakizashi with them, so Ogata spent some effort just now to find this fairly good quality wakizasa.

Ogata raised his head and looked towards the side of the pirate ship. At this time, Yitong and the others were no longer seen.

Just now, Yitong and others hurriedly left the side of the ship.

Ogata guessed that Yitong and the others were either preparing to escape, or they were gathering troops to fight him to the death.

Because the pirate ship was much taller than the stowaway ship, Ogata couldn't see the scene on the ship, but could only hear the continuous noise from the pirate ship.

"There may be some slip-throughs that escape to this ship afterward."

Ogata then yelled at Azuki and the others.

"So this ship is handed over to you to guard."

"Leave it to us to guard?" Azhu asked doubtfully, "Mr. Goro, what about you?"

Azuki herself didn't realize that when she was talking to Ogata, she had unconsciously used the highest level of honorific

"Me?" Ogata smiled, "Of course I'm going to pursue the victory."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Azhu and the others to respond, Ooyasu launched a sprint towards the pirate ship in front of him.

When he was about to rush out of the deck of the stowaway ship, Ogata jumped and leaped towards the side wall of the pirate ship facing the stowaway ship.

When Ogata's whole body was about to hit the side wall of the pirate ship, Ogata took out the wakizashi that he had just collected, and with the strength of the leap, he plunged into the side wall of the pirate ship.

If it were other ordinary people, I am afraid that they would not have the strength to insert a wakizashi into such a hard wooden board used for shipbuilding.

But Ogata's current strength has already surpassed that of ordinary people, so he insisted on relying on brute force and the potential energy brought by the leap to forcefully stab the shovel into the side wall of the ship.

Then, Ogata took the wakizashi stuck into the side wall as a "ladder" for his strength, stepped on the wakizasa, jumped hard, and successfully jumped onto the side of the pirate ship, jumped to the Ant Tong and the others stood just now.

As soon as Ogata jumped onto the boat, a loud shout suddenly sounded from in front of him.

"It's now!"

The owner of this shout is none other than Yitong.

As soon as Yitong finished speaking, the 10 subordinates standing in front of him, holding bows and arrows, immediately let go of the bowstrings in their hands.

fluffy fluffy

The sound of the bowstring vibrating exploded one by one.

The bows held by the 10 subordinates in front of Yitong are the only 10 bows on his ship.

Because basically relying on human trafficking to make money, and he is also good at dancing with long sleeves and has no enemies, Ant Tong has not paid much attention to his own armament.

It was not until recently that I gradually came up with the idea of ​​building a strong armed force. I purchased this European-style three-masted sailing ship, and planned to gradually add advanced weapons such as artillery and muskets.

Yitong now regrets that it would have known such a day earlier, so it had put the plan of "strengthening the armed forces" on the agenda earlier, and hastened to purchase advanced weapons such as point guns.

In this way, you will not fall into the dilemma that the most powerful weapons on and off the ship are only these 10 bows.

Yitong's subordinates who can use bows and arrows are not sharp shooters, and they can't shoot accurately.

Because Gongbu requested that Ogata must be captured alive, just before Ogata climbed up, Yi Tong hastily ordered that all the arrowheads of the bows and arrows be cut off, leaving only the shaft and the tail of the arrow.

In this way, you can avoid accidentally shooting Ogata to death, and at the same time ensure that Ogata is given enough damage. Even without a sharp arrow, it will still hurt a lot after being hit.

Yi Tong's idea is very good, he wants to lie in ambush, and when Ogata climbs up, he will shoot Ogata, and then easily capture Ogata.

But this sentence is always the truth. Plans can never keep up with changes.

Yitong still underestimated Ogata's strength.

Ogata is not an idiot without actual combat experience. Before he jumped on the ship, he was already mentally prepared for all kinds of violent attacks after boarding the ship.

Ogata, whose nerves were tense all the time, jumped onto the side of the boat and saw the 10 arrows shooting at him, his brows did not even move.

Ogata's current 15 points of reflex nerves released its power at this time.

When Yitong had just shouted "It's now!", Ogata's body had already reacted.

He pulled out Da Shitian and Da Zizai suddenly, and after the 10 pirates let go of their bowstrings, Ogata quickly identified which arrows would hit him.

For others, the arrows that are too fast to see clearly, in the eyes of Ogata, are like a kind of "children's toy bow and arrow" that he once played in his previous life. The bow and arrow are made of plastic.

clack, clack, clack

The sound of the arrow shafts being broken sounded one by one.

Ogata swung his two swords, and the arrows that hit him were chopped off one by one.

After easily defusing this wave of arrows, Ogata couldn't help feeling that he was indeed much stronger than before.

If he had just left the Hirose Domain, he would probably have to rely on the "Selfless Realm" to capture the trajectory of these arrows.

But now that he is in a normal state, let alone a bow and arrow, he can barely capture the trajectory of the projectile shot by the matchlock gun.

The act of Ogata chopping down the arrow caused Yitong, who was originally confident, to almost drop his jaw to the ground.

And Gongbu, who was standing beside Yitong, also widened his eyes in surprise at this time.

"Dual Sword Style" Miyabe murmured, his face gradually becoming serious.

After chopping off the oncoming arrows, Ogata finally had enough time to carefully examine the scene in front of him.

In front of Ant Tong stood 10 archers.

And behind him stood a huge group of people and the rest of his subordinates, probably all of them were here.

They hold various weapons in their hands.

Knife, Odachi, Harpoon for fishing

Because they are pirates, there is naturally no strong discipline at all. They stand in a group at will, and there is no queue at all.

What made Ogata more concerned was that there was a strange person standing beside Yitong.

The strange person who caught Ogata's attention was none other than Miyabe.

Gongbu, who stands side by side with Yitong, can clearly feel the difference between the two sides.

Yi Tong exuded a gangster air all over his body.

The palace department has a refined temperament.It doesn't look like a thief at all, but more like a teacher in a study.

Behind Gongbu, there were more than ten people standing.

These ten or so people are also the same as Miyabe, their temperament is very different from those of the pirates. They look solemn, and they all have two knives stabbed in their waists, and they basically have well-behaved Tsukiyo. head.

The dozen or so people behind Miyabe were all orthodox samurai no matter how they looked at them.

Ogata had just roughly surveyed the scene in front of him, and Yi Tong gritted his teeth suddenly at this moment: "Throw the net! Cover him for me!"

"Yes!" The subordinates standing on the left and right sides of Yitong, holding a large group of things, rushed forward in a hurry.

What they hold in their hands is a large net.

This is the fishing net they usually use when hunting whaling. It is not only big enough, but also strong enough. After being covered by it, it will not take a little effort to break free.

This is the second move that Yitong came up with to control this guy with a net, and capture him after his movements are trapped by the net.

The pirate who was in charge of throwing the net rushed to a position a little ahead of the pirate who was using the bow, and threw out the net vigorously.

Because the material is tough, it is not easy to be cut. This is for ordinary people.

Looking at the fishing nets covering his head, the expressionless Ogata just silently raised Da Shitian and Da Zizai

Yitong saw the light of the knife that was more dazzling than the sun.

Ogata swung the two knives alternately, and when the light of the knives dissipated, the two large fishing nets turned into dozens of pieces, like falling snow, scattered on the ground one after another

As a pirate, Yitong naturally knows how difficult it is to cut the fishing net, so after seeing Ogata easily cut into pieces the two fishing nets that he had placed high hopes on, Yin could no longer restrain himself The astonishment in my heart screamed:

"You bastard! Who the hell? Why is there such a master as you on this small smuggling boat?!"

Ant Tong yelled out the doubts in his heart.

He really couldn't understand why there were such powerful masters on that inconspicuous little boat

And why would he be so unlucky in this vast sea, that he would meet this master by such a coincidence.

If he can travel back, he really wants to travel to the past and strangle the self who was greedy and came up with the idea of ​​this smuggling boat

"It's just a rogue." Ogata answered Yitong's question calmly.

On Yitong's face, the color of madness was becoming thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He knew that he had no way out now.

So he turned his head and shouted to the subordinates behind him:

"Let's go together! Capture him! Whoever successfully captures him alive! Big reward! A reward of one hundred taels!"

This is Yitong's third move, and it is also the last move he can use to make his subordinates swarm up and take down Ogata.

Except for Yitong himself, no one else knew about the "3000 taels of gold deal" he made with Gongbu.

If Yitong's subordinates knew that Yitong and Gongbu had such a deal, they would definitely scold Yitong for being stingy. They could get 3000 taels, but they only gave 100 taels of gold to the person who captured Ogata.

There is a great advantage in controlling thieves like pirates who do all kinds of unconscionable things for money, that is, they can use money to instruct them more conveniently.

Ogata's gesture of easily chopping down arrows and shattering fishing nets just now has already made many pirates on the deck timid and cowering.

But after hearing Yitong's loud shout, their eyes changed instantly.

Why do they want to be pirates with Yitong, put their heads on their belts, and engage in human trafficking together?

Not for money!

100 taels of gold in Japan, which has just passed the "Tianming Famine" and is now in a state of waste everywhere, is a big fortune!

You can make a lot of money for a few years in a big way!

100 taels of gold Facing this number, courage gradually suppressed the cowardice in the hearts of the pirates.

Let's go together!Wait until that samurai is exhausted, or accidentally reveals a flaw!I took advantage of the chaos and took down the gang of pirates whose eyes were already covered with strong greed. They almost all think so in their hearts now.

Looking at the group of pirates in front of him whose faces were covered with conspicuous greed, Ogata sighed silently.

"Scenes like this are often seen." Ogata sighed with emotion in a low voice that only he could hear clearly.

Ogata had already seen such a scene when Yu Hirose Fan tried to kill Matsudaira Gennai and face Matsudaira Gennai before. Bewitched by money, everyone rushed up.

And Ogata also often saw the too similar ending after them.

After feeling so softly, Ogata held Dazizai and Dashitian in his left and right hands, and walked slowly towards the pirates in front of him.

Still not fully recovered from the shock just now, he stared blankly at the tall pirate ship in front of him.

Due to the angle of view, he couldn't see the scene on the ship, he could only hear the continuous noise made up of shouts and killings from above.

Has Goro Mashima already confronted the rest of the pirates on board?

At this time, for some reason, Isshiki suddenly recalled what he said to him before the battle began, "I feel that I am an average swordsman, and there is still a long way to go."

Thinking of what Ogata said to him, a feeling of resentment mixed with grievances involuntarily emerged in Isshiki's heart.

Is this also called mediocre swordsmanship? !

Isshiki shouted silently in his heart.

If your swordsmanship is mediocre, then who else is considered to be a master of swordsmanship?And what am I, who is still protected by you?

The gesture of Ogata easily beheading the pirates that he witnessed just now flashed before Isshiki's eyes again.

New emotions emerged in Isshiki's heart.

And this time, the emotions that emerged in Isshiki's heart were joy and shame.

Isshiki recalled the scene where he had a conflict with Ogata before and said to his grandfather, "If Grandpa didn't stop me, I must have a sparring with him, so that he can see how powerful the swordsmanship he despises is"

Isshiki feels very lucky now

Fortunately, Grandpa pulled him away in time.

Otherwise, if he really foolishly invites Ogata to compete, Isshiki can't imagine what will happen afterwards
