"Every living being on this island dies by my hand. Painfully."
"Is that so?" questioned the Doshi as they jumped down onto the ground, creating a blast out of Tao. "I will return with your head as a gift. So that I might advance to Chisen status--"
Before the servant could finish, Shugen immediately and brutally shredded their body until the Doshi had only their head.
"Urgh..."
"Those regenerative abilities..." Shugen analyzed while glaring below him. "Cleaving your waves just so prevents you from moving. I've figured it out. I've modeled these cuts after a method of execution called 'saw carving.' Should you refuse to my questions, or if your answers displease me... I carve."
Shugen proceeded to cut a piece of the Doshi as they writhed in pain.
"First, your allies..." Shugen continued menacingly, "you earlier statements suggest some manner of hierarchy.... Describe to me the makeup of this organization."
"No, I cannot--Gyahh!!"
Shugen cut the Doshi's face again and threatened them. "Stalling will do you no good, I'm afraid."
"C'mon, Shugen...." Jikka interrupted casually. "We're looking at a whole new type of monster, here.... How about we report back to the mainland with this info?"
"By no means." Shugen yelled back towards his senior. "I am well aware you would like nothing more than to return, Jikka. Why, you still refuse to draw your blade and depend on that brat instead."
"I can't. You know that. Plus, it would help the boy more if he did the work instead of me."
"What I know is that you very well can."
"Please calm yourself, Shugen." Isuzu reassured her raven-haired and stubbled seniors. "You two mustn't squabble..."
The second-ranked swordsman looked at the giantess and rubbed his eye.
"No, I suppose not."
He suddenly started to bow before Jikka, despite his low opinions over the man.
"Apologies.... Even under pressure, I have no right to disrespect my senior..."
"Heyyy, don't worry about it, really."
Cute. I like this side to him.
Toma feigned a smile as he stood beside Jikka and asked. "What about my apology? I'm pretty sure you owe me a lot--"
"Not you, criminal scum." Shugen replied harshly, causing Toma's fake smile to bitterness.
They both glared at each other until the former spoke more calmly towards the child and giantess.
"I apologize to you two as well."
"Aww, a real fight woulda been fun." Kiyomaru remorsed.
