"One-Sword Style... Iai!"

A grand, blood-red sword aura suddenly tore through the void, rippling toward Ian's position, slicing the ground into a terrifying abyss.

This slash seemed as if it would split the entire island in half. But as Ian's sword suddenly descended, the blood-red sword aura that had cleaved the earth was directly crushed into fragments under his swing, shattering instantly.

Ian gazed distantly at Koushirou, who had retreated far away. Holding his sword in his right hand, he swung it from his right side to the front, slashing forward.

Boom!

From the blade, a black Getsuga Tenshō suddenly swept directly toward Koushirou. Koushirou's expression changed dramatically; he felt an illusion as if the moon hanging high in the sky was falling down. Gripping his sword with both hands, he suddenly swung toward the incoming black crescent.

Buzz!

A massive sword energy fiercely slashed into the Getsuga Tenshō. This sword energy seemed almost solid, tearing through the void. But upon colliding with the black Getsuga Tenshō, it was like a stone falling into water, suddenly slowing down and continuously shrinking.

Almost instantly, that massive sword energy only managed to split half of the Getsuga Tenshō before being forcibly swallowed. Witnessing this scene, Koushirou was utterly astonished. Faced with such terrifying flames, he could only push his Busoshoku Haki to the extreme, then grip his sword with both hands and swing fiercely.

The Getsuga Tenshō, which had been mostly cut apart by the sword energy, was finally forcibly split by Koushirou's slash. Two black slashes flew past Koushirou's sides, landing on the distant mountain peak.

Boom!

That mountain peak was split into three parts from afar, yet did not collapse, showcasing the sharpness of the attack.

"You win."

Koushirou looked behind him and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although he hadn't completely lost his fighting ability, there was no need to continue this battle.

The gap was too great.

Outside Shimotsuki Village

Following this direction deeper inland, there were more villages. This island was not where the royal palace of the Goa Kingdom was located; Foosha Village was on the island where the Goa Kingdom's royal palace stood.

When they arrived at the port, they found a ship docked there. Someone on the ship saw him and immediately became somewhat sneaky, acting furtively.

"Why is the.... Black-Winged Devil appearing here?"

A bearded man hid on the deck of this large sailing ship, revealing only half his head, cautiously watching Ian and Koushirou walking on the dock below.

"Mr. Koushirou is also there; what's going on?"

He noticed that not only was Ian present, but also their comrade from the Revolutionary Army. Since they weren't heading toward the ship, he slightly relaxed but still remained vigilant, keeping a close eye on Ian.

This ship belonged to the Revolutionary Army, docked here. Most of the people on the ship were purchasing goods on the island, continuously transporting food and supplies.
