[Shimotsuki Village...]
"Hah!" A Dojo was on a small hill, and the place was beautiful. With cherry blossom trees around it, the pink petals fell to the ground gently, carried by the wind.
The kids in the Dojo trained with swords in hand, Koushirou watching with a smile, his glasses high on his nose. Though a light of sadness could be seen in his eyes.
Like a deep sorrow that even a katana could not leave on his body. Koushirou clenched his fists as he thought about his daughter, Kuina and how she died.
She killed herself... Because he did not give her hope. All Koushirou did was beat her esteem down, by making her think that women could never be the world's strongest swordsman.
This drove her daughter to the edge, especially since Zoro was catching up to her, and almost beat her in their 2000th duel. This caused her repressed emotions to get out of hand.
As Koushirou was thinking, his observation haki suddenly activated behind him. Koushirou spun around and looked towards the shore of the island.
A small ship with a sheep's head was parked on the shore, and a man with white hair and blue eyes was looking at it, a battle-hungry smile on his face.
"Phase, Twilight, Eyes of wisdom" Koushirou jumped with the quickness and took his sword out from its sheath with speed as fast as light and armament haki covered his sword.
Boom!
A blue orb and the sword collided while Satoru watched with interest as the armament haki managed to deflect his Blue to the mountainside, with Koushirou's hand shaking.
Boom!
The island shook as a blue dome of energy appeared in the mountains before disappearing and bringing a suction equivalent of a black hole.
The entiore mountain range was sucked into a massive crater, like a meteor struck the island. Nami and Nojiko looked at the scene with barely any surprise.
Not because the power was not strong, but because compared to the purple thing they saw, this was barely anything. Satoru smiled as he looked at Nami and Nojiko.
"Stay here for a bit," Satoru said as he started making hand seals. A barrier covered the entire ship, and Satoru teleported away from it.
"What is this?" Nojiko asked as she touched the barrier, only to see a ripple-like effect on the barrier. Curious, Nojiko pushed harder until she used her full strength.
But it won't work since the barrier is an absorption-type barrier. It absorbs the force of anything acting on it and then reinforces itself with that force.
It's practically impossible to get in without a barrier, or if you don't know barriers. The only way out of the barrier is if you exceed the force of the caster.
Swoosh!
"Everyone, run!" Koushirou shouted as he turned to his students, panic in his eyes. The students looked at Satoru and nodded with fear. They quickly turned and ran.
"Well, isn't this wonderful. Such a powerful samurai in the East Blue. How wonderful, I can already feel my blood boiling!" Satoru's face slowly twisted into an amalgamation of bloodthirst, excitement and even a bit of pleasure.
Koushirou looked down at his blade and sighed as his hand shook from the previous blow. Even with armament haki, he barely deflected the attack.
"May I know why you attacked me?" Koushirou asked as he stood upright, his eyes slightly open, and an aura of sharpness surrounded his body. Around him, a depression appeared.
Satoru smirked, his eyes wide as he looked at Koushirou with satisfaction, it felt like looking at a sharp blade hanging above your head. Satoru liked the feeling.
"I attacked you because I want to fight you. Now, how about we cut the chats and start?" Spreading his legs apart, Satoru clenched his fists into a loose fist, and blue flames lit up on his fists.
Koushirou looked at the strange energy on Satoru's hand, and his expression turned as cold as ice. He could feel the countless malice and pain from the energy.
It was like looking at millions of souls writhing in pain and being tortured over and over in the worst way imaginable. It was like looking at the sin of the world. Gathered into a pair of fists.
"You are a bringer of pain and torment. I won't let you leave alive from here," Koushirou said with a chilling voice as he got into his stance, his armament haki covering his arms and blade.
"Is that so? You think you are the first to want my life? Millions wanted that, but they could never take mine." Satoru said as a calm smile replaced his manic one.
He is no idiot and has already figured out that armament haki can counter his technique. It was not a counter per se, but it could resist it like they could resist devil fruits.
Koushirou was a problem to him, but Satoru did not care about all that. Because he could already feel the strange energy in his body. He sensed the energy on Koushirou's blade.
'My six eyes can see how it flows and works. But to get a better feel. I need contact.' Satoru thought as he smiled at Koushirou. His blood pumped around his body.
Koushirou and Satoru looked at each other, and lightning seemed to appear between them as a random cherry blossom floated in the middle of the two.
Swish!
The cherry blossom broke into powder as Koushirou and Satoru clashed for the second time. Human fist met blade, and a shockwave reverberated through the island.
Satoru used the force of the blade to push it aside, and with a lightning-fast jab, hit Koushirou on the solar plexus. But Koushirou reacted before Satoru could even execute the move.
Boom!
Satoru looked at his chest and smiled as a small line of blood trickled out from his chest. His infinity resisted the slash for long enough for Satoru to step back.
"You are the first to make me bleed in this world. I shall remember you." Satoru said with a smile, clenching his fist as his eyes glowed. Koushirou did not talk, only a chill in his eyes.
"Enough, you beast. I do not wish to talk to you." Koushirou said as he got ready, Satoru smiled as he flashed towards him, his six eyes tracking Koushirou's muscles.
A blue outline appeared as Satoru teleported behind Koushirou, only for the swordsman to turn around and slash through his hand, the blade cutting into his bones before Satoru teleported away.
Satoru stared at his hand, his bone sliced halfway through, and Koushirou stared at Satoru. His observation haki tracked every emotion, every spike of thought, and every twitch of his muscles, even blood.
He was tracking Satoru like a beast lurking behind his prey, and Satoru, for the first time since he arrived in this world, Satoru, for the first time since he arrived here.
For the first time...
Satoru Lost!
