Chapter 260: Attack on Kuri

Chapter 260: Attack on Kuri

Just like what Kaido & Higurashi said, the situation in Kuri isn't that good. Orochi's army has arrived on Kuri's border and now the 200 men that Oden left are facing them. Compared to the 5000 men in Orochi's group, these 200 people seem to have no chance of winning.

However, the 200 men have a strong samurai as their leader. He is none other than the daimyo of Ringo, Shimotsuki Ushimaru, the descendant of Shimotsuki Ryuma who slain a dragon in the past and owned the black sword, Shusui.

Yasuie is also in Kuri, but he isn't much of a fighter so he doesn't join the battle and stays behind to protect the civilians. Ushimaru is stronger and more suitable to lead a battle to defend Kuri.

Some daimyos who follow Oden have joined the war. Their people also have evacuated to Kuri so they need to defend Kuri at all costs. Although leaving only 200 men to defend Kuri is not enough, they don't have another choice because their total number is far lower than their enemies.

"Orochi, I thought you are in Onigashima now," says Ushimaru.

"Gufuhaha, why should I be there when Kaido is present? He alone is enough to destroy everything you brought there," brags Orochi.

"If that's enough, then I don't see any reason for you to come here," says Ushimaru.

"Reason? Gufufu, I just want to clean up everything so we don't need to do it after we win this war," says Orochi.

The samurais behind Ushimaru clench their fists but Ushimaru stays calm. "Then, let's see who will do the clean-up first," says Ushimaru while unsheathing his katana.

Following Ushimaru, the 200 samurais behind him also unsheath their katana. Of course, the 5000 men on Orochi's side also prepare their weapons. There aren't only samurais but also ninjas on Orochi's side so their weapons vary.

"Gufuhaha, don't worry, Ushimaru. You won't get killed in this war. I will personally set an execution for you in the Flower Capital along with Oden, so be grateful for that," says Orochi.

"That execution, you can reserve it for yourself!" says Ushimaru while pointing his katana at Orochi with an intimidating gaze.

Orochi is taken aback and gets frightened so he takes a step back, falling on his butt.

"Lord Orochi, please don't worry about his threat, he is trying to make you nervous," says Fukurokuju, the head of Oniwabanshu ninja who always stays beside Orochi.

"Y-You're right, he is trying to mess with me. Damn, how dare he use petty tricks on me. I won't forgive him. I will prepare the worst punishment for him later," says Orochi angrily.

"I understand, milord. Now, please give us your command," says Fukurokuju.

"Alright. Then, ATTACK!" shouts Orochi.

*BOOM BOOM BOOM*

"Woah, easy guys. We were comrades, right?" asks Deon lightly while evading the 5 ninjas' pincer attacks.

5 ninjas are attacking him from all sides while the other 4 stay around Orochi to guard him. The 5 ninjas are attacking Deon at the same time and simultaneously. But he can evade all their attacks with precise movements.

Deon hasn't attacked his opponents at all and just keeps on evading. He hasn't done anything except for gathering information for days so he wants to flex his body. Evading the 5 ninjas' attacks is a very good warm-up for him.

'Hmm, my body still feels the same as before so it's good. But I'm not too happy about this because the others must've been improving since we arrived here. My job was just to collect information but it was very busy so I don't have time to train. Sigh, I'm afraid that even Ruff has surpassed me now,' thinks Deon as he evades the attacks.

The 5 ninjas are attacking with all they have but Deon evades them easily. He often sparred against Enel, the fastest man on the crew. These 5 guys are very slow compared to Enel who can move as fast as lightning.

"Even the fatty Manba can move faster than you guys. With this slow speed, you dare call yourself ninjas? So laughable that it's pathetic, making me unable to laugh," says Deon while smirking.

The 5 get angered and Deon just smirks satisfiedly. Then the 5 try to attack him again but suddenly they fall after their feet get hit by something, making them fall. As they fall, their attacks miss and hit each other instead of Deon who still can dodge amidst the chaos.

"Are you alright? Maybe you haven't eaten yet so you are tired," says Deon mockingly.

Everyone gets angry but then they get very surprised when they see a long green scaly tail on Deon's back.

"Yo-You, who are you?" asks Orochi.

Deon just grins and says, "Me? I am the Clown Pirates' best spy, 'Rainbow Hair' Bunglon Deon."
