Uta's Idol.

The Final Hurdle. Denjiro's Oden Two Sword Style.

Hello everyone! I'm back for another chapter of Uta's Idol! For today's chapter, we will see a battle between Uta and Denjiro! Look forward to an epic battle between these two titans and I hope you'll enjoy! I don't own One Piece.

After being challenged by Denjiro, Uta and her friends waited inside the guest room of the yakuza boss's palace for further instructions. Uno was with Denjiro in another room as the two were discussing what they went through these few days. As she waited in the guest room, Uta sat idly with a lot on her mind.

"Pitch, what can you tell me about Den..I mean, Kyoshiro?" Uta asked, catching herself from leaking Denjiro's real name. "What sort of fighting style does he use? Is there anything I should be aware of?"

"Well, he's a samurai who uses the one sword style." Pitch answered. "He can cut with extreme precision and speed. Furthermore, if the rumors I heard are true, then he also has the fastest iai among the Akazaya."

Uta's face lit up in shock, surprised that Pitch outed Denjiro's identity without any hesitation. Rave and Echo were taken aback

"Hold on, Kyoshiro is one of the Red Scabbards?" Echo asked, surprised. "When did you hear about this?"

Uta gave Pitch a look of concern, but she shrugged it off.

"After coming this far, we have to tell them." Pitch said. "Besides, they won't snitch."

"Fine, but if I get blamed for this, I'm pinning it on you." Uta said with a sigh.

"Since Uno was with us at the time, I couldn't relay this information to you, but I can now." Pitch said in a low voice. "The truth is, Kyoshiro is actually Denjiro of the Akazaya Nine."

Rave and Echo instantly recognized that name as one of the men Kinemon was searching for.

"I'm telling you this because I know that you two aren't traitors." Pitch said in a low voice. "Still, I need you to keep this a secret until the raid."

"I get this is an important detail, but why can't we tell the other samurai?" Rave asked. "Shouldn't they have the right to know?"

"The reason for that lies within who the traitor is." Pitch answered ominously. "The good thing about being Orochi's bodyguard is that you can hear everything the shogun is talking about and he sure has some loose lips. I've heard him mention the culprit's name a few times already."

"Can you tell us that?" Echo asked. "If we get the traitor now, then we can stop all this trouble."

"No, that might make things worse." Uta countered. "Orochi may know too much already. If he were to find out that his spy got captured, he's going to retaliate before we even get a chance to start the raid."

"Orochi may be a cunning S.O.B., but he's still too arrogant for his own good." Pitch continued. "For this reason, it's better to leave them in the dark about it. Besides, Denjiro has already made countermeasures for this scenario."

"So you're expecting us to leave it to Kyoshiro?" Rave asked, a bit skeptical of Pitch's suggestion. "You do realize that you're expecting us to put a lot of faith in this yakuza boss."

"Samurai. Oden's samurai. " Pitch corrects. "Look, I just need you two to keep this a secret from the other samurai. The best chance to get past Orochi is to let him believe he has won. If it comes down to it, then I'm going to have to make it convincing."

Rave and Echo were silent for a moment, but they nodded in understanding. This time, they have decided to side with Pitch and trust her.

"Alright, now that we got that out of the way, can we focus on some sort of plan to fight against Denjiro?" Uta asked impatiently.
