Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

He let go of her hand, looked at the bald shop manager who was already stunned, and smiled, "We meet again, shop manager."

"Oh... um, again..."

The bald store manager hadn't finished speaking yet.

A red glint flashed in Ron's eyes.

The Conqueror's Haki was released precisely.

Under the intimidating aura of that domineering presence, the bald shopkeeper instantly lost consciousness and collapsed onto the table.

"!"

This scene surprised Shinobu and Kanao.

Shinobu Kocho took a deep look at the young man in black in front of her.

Can't go wrong.

The guy in front of me.

It's definitely the mysterious powerhouse that Liu Tian mentioned!

9. Shinobu Kocho's inability to remain calm

Under the dim yellow light of the streetlights.

Nezuko lay down on the bench, and Ron stood beside her.

Directly in front, two meters away, are Shinobu Kocho and Kanao, each wielding a Nichirin Blade.

"You were the one who saved Yanagida and the others from that supernatural being, weren't you?"

Ron smiled at Shinobu Kocho and said, "I do seem to have saved a member of the Demon Slayer Corps from a demon, but I don't know if it was Yanagida you mentioned."

Sure enough it was him!

Butterfly stared intently at Ron: "Why...why are you protecting a ghost?"

Ron said with a hint of exasperation, "I'm not protecting the ghost, I'm just protecting this ghost. Please get that straight. I don't want to be seen as one of those stinking ghosts."

"What's the difference between this ghost and this ghost? They're both ghosts anyway, and ghosts have to be killed."

Shinobu Kocho's words made no attempt to conceal her disgust for demons.

Ron was too lazy to explain anything more to her.

He untied the sake gourd from his waist, took a step forward, and stood in front of Nezuko.

Shinobu Kocho's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Are you really going to fight the Demon Slayer Corps for this demon?"

Ron chuckled upon hearing this: "A mere Insect Pillar shouldn't be qualified to represent the Demon Slayer Corps, right?"

"Besides... it doesn't matter to me whether we are enemies with the Demon Slayer Corps or not."

Butterfly Shinobu narrowed her purple eyes and her figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

Its form is like a butterfly in flight, light and agile, leaving no trace.

A streak of purple light, like a venomous snake's tongue, launched a series of precise and swift thrusts at Nezuko, who was lying on the bench, with a speed that was too fast for the naked eye to follow.

"The Breath of Insects, the Dance of Butterflies".

Teasing!

"Insect breathing, huh..."

Ron's lips curled into a slight smile. Come to think of it, he seemed to have taught Bonnie and Robin this breathing technique...

I really miss it.

He raised his right hand and flicked it lightly at a spot.

Accompanied by a crisp sound.

A powerful force struck the blade of Shinobu's slender Nichirin Blade, which was thrusting towards Nezuko, causing the blade's trajectory to veer to the side. A tremendous force surged through the blade into Shinobu's sword-wielding hand, causing her palm to tremble and her swordplay to become completely chaotic.

But Shinobu Kocho still didn't stop.

With a stomp of her foot and a shift in her swordplay, the agile and graceful butterfly dance transformed into a relentless, unstoppable thrust that abandoned all defense.

Insect Breathing, Bee Tooth Dance.

So cool!

however……

A hand gripped Shinobu's wrist again, forcefully stopping her thrust in mid-air. With a gentle squeeze, the knife in Shinobu's hand fell to the ground.

Shinobu Kocho stared wide-eyed at the young man in black before her.

He actually... subdued her, one of the Nine Pillars, without any weapons?!

Upon seeing this, Kanao did not hesitate for a moment and immediately drew her sword to slash at Ron.

Flower Breathing - Fourth Form

Red floral dress!

A double, upward, pinkish-red arc slash aimed at Ron.

Ron had a sudden thought.

An ice wall appeared in front of them.

Kanao's slash landed on the crystal-clear ice wall, but it couldn't even make a crack. Instead, it made her hand ache from the impact.

She stared at the crystal-clear ice wall in front of her, her eyes widening slightly on her expressionless face.

Ron looked down at Shinobu Kocho and said, "As a swordsman who has inherited the Breathing Technique, how can you call yourself a Pillar if you haven't even activated your Demon Slayer Mark and the Transparent World?"

Stripes, a transparent world.

These were things Shinobu Kocho had never heard of before.

So much so that when she heard Ron's words, her first reaction was, "What is this guy talking about?"

Looking at the bewildered Shinobu Kocho, Ron sighed.

"So you really didn't know? Never mind."

Ron released Shinobu's hand, took a sip from the silver-blue Endless Wine Jug in his left hand.

"With your current swordsmanship, it's far from enough to seek revenge on the ghost who killed your sister. You'll just be throwing your life away in vain."

Shinobu Kocho was suddenly jolted.

The smile that had been on her face vanished, and she stared at Ron with a cold expression: "Just how much do you know?"

“More than you think.”

Ron smiled and said, "If you listen to me, I might be able to increase your strength even further, so that you can kill the Upper Moon Two, the Ice Demon, Doma, whom you've always wanted to kill."

Upon hearing these words, Shinobu Kocho was deeply shaken, her pupils contracted sharply, and she could no longer maintain her composure.

…………

the other side.

After Tanjiro, in pursuit of the owner of that scent, disguised himself as a business owner and hid among the crowd as a father and husband, Muzan Kibutsuji, the same plot as in the original story unfolded.

Tanjiro was furious, so furious he almost vomited.

But he couldn't bring himself to swing his Nichirin Blade in front of ordinary human women and children.

Immediately afterwards, Muzan turned a random passing man into a demon right in front of him.

Tanjiro was furious, but in the end he still chose to save people.

"Honey, is that child someone you know?"

"No, I don't know him."

As Muzan left, he caught a glimpse of the ornament on Tanjiro's ear.

that is……

When Tanjiro subdued the demon, he attracted the attention of the police and a large crowd of onlookers.

Tamayo and Yushiro, who came to the street with Ron, were also among them.

The plot is the same as in the original work.

After witnessing Tanjiro's kindness, Tamayo used her Blood Demon Art to bewitch the people around her and take him and the person who had become a demon away from there.

10. Because... I am invincible.

"Nezuko!"

Tanjiro rushed back to the noodle shop and saw Nezuko safe and sound, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Very good……"

He looked at Ron and bowed deeply with immense gratitude: "Thank you for saving Nezuko and protecting her for me. I am truly grateful!"
