Chapter 598: Assault?! Bloodthirsty Broken Blade! (2 in 1)

In response to Tsugumi Yuichiro's question, Momonosuke, who was enduring the pain, just looked up at Tsugumi Yuichiro coldly and chose to remain silent.

He was not familiar with Tsugikoku Yoshiichi, but the other party's methods did allow him to understand some of his personality and temper. If he rashly spoke out his true thoughts, he would definitely get himself into trouble.

Although Momonosuke has been able to call the shots in Wano Country for many years, when he really encounters an invincible enemy, he will wisely shrink his head.

Momonosuke's character is actually not as brave and fearless as he appears. The reason why he can do whatever he wants in Wano Country is mainly because of the current governance system framework of Wano Country, because his father and grandfather are the supreme rulers of Wano Country.

The supreme power enveloped Momonosuke's cowardly heart, and this hard shell of power also became the bright feathers that Momonosuke loved to show to outsiders.

Even if you peel off this layer of power, Momonosuke is still the same Momonosuke.

Enduring the pain in his body at this moment was already his limit. The biggest reason why he did not beg for mercy from Tsugaru Yoshiichi was because his identity as the son of the Daimyo Kuri put him on a high pedestal, and he did not say it out of face.

Or perhaps Momonosuke thought that he was not forced into a desperate situation, and he felt that Tsugukuni Yoriichi would not kill him.

silence
In the house, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi and Momonosuke looked at each other. Through Momonosuke's eyes, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi had already glimpsed into the other's heart.

In his several lifetimes and more than a hundred years of life, Tsugumi Yoriichi has met many different kinds of people. In addition, with his Observation Haki that can sense emotions, few people can hide their inner thoughts in front of Tsugumi Yoriichi.

Momonosuke's guilty conscience and inner cowardice were seen by Enichi.

"Momonosuke, silence won't help you escape reality."

"Do you think you can get away with it by just keeping your mouth shut?"

"Or do you think that I won't kill you if I want to see your father?"

As he spoke, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi had already placed the wooden stick in his hand on the table, and then he took off a long sword with a broken blade from his waist and held it in his hand.

Under Momonosuke's astonished gaze, the broken blade in Yoshiichirō's hand stabbed out quickly, and in just a blink of an eye it had pierced through the shoulder blade of the spine. The intense pain made Momonosuke's brain go blank, and as the strong smell of blood rushed into his nasal cavity, Momonosuke's consciousness was pulled back to reality.

Blood turned into thin streams and flowed out from the wound. Tao Zizhu looked down at his pierced shoulder in surprise, his lips trembling slightly.

"you you."

Momonosuke opened his mouth. Fear had completely overwhelmed the anger in his heart. His remaining rationality told him that the man in front of him was probably just using this method to scare him. Such sword wounds looked scary but were not fatal.

After a brief struggle, Momonosuke stared at Tsugakuni Yoriichi with his red eyes, still gritting his teeth and not saying a word.

"laugh--"

The broken blade was pulled out, and blood spilled onto the ground, seeping into the floor.

Just as Tsugakuin Yoshiichi was about to continue asking questions, the subtle changes on the broken blade made Tsugakuin Yoshiichi look sideways.

"Hmm?!" He murmured softly, then Yuichirō held the sword across his body and looked at it carefully.

No one knows the weapon in his hand better than him. Even after it is broken, the length and weight of the sword have long been integrated with the user, Jiguo Yuanyi.

Any subtle changes on the sword could not escape the perception of Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

The moment the long sword was pulled out of Momonosuke's body, Tsugumi Yoshiichi could clearly feel that the broken sword in his hand had grown slightly.

Yes, that’s right, it’s growth!

Gently stroking the broken edge of the sword in his hand, the original broken part was sharp and the cut shape was irregular, but now, it has become a little rounded. The feeling of stroking the broken edge with fingers is completely different from before.

This subtle discovery completely diverted Tsugumi Yoshiichi's attention. He ignored Momonosuke, flipped the sword in his hand, and looked around himself.

A few moments.

Yoshiichi Tsugikuni was already certain that the broken sword was growing and it was not just his illusion.

Upon discovering this, Ji Guoyuan couldn't help but reveal a faint smile on his face. This really surprised him. He originally thought that he needed to find an excellent blacksmith to recover his illness, but now it seems that there are other better ways.

This was the first time that Yoriichi Tsugukuni used a broken Dawn to kill someone, and from this he realized that this weapon of his had the ability to repair itself.

As for why it can self-repair.
Tsugikuni Yoshiichi already had some guesses in his mind. He looked at Momonosuke in front of him and without saying anything, he drew his sword again and stabbed Momonosuke in the already injured shoulder.

"what--"

This sudden attack made the unprepared Momonosuke feel severe pain again. This time, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't help but cry out in pain.

Yoriichi did not pull out the sword quickly. After just a dozen seconds, Yoriichi Tsugakuni could clearly see that the bleeding on Momonosuke's shoulder had stopped. In contrast, the wound that was previously pierced by Yoriichi Tsugakuni was still bleeding.

The difference was so obvious that even Momonosuke had noticed it. He looked up at his shoulder and saw that there was no blood flowing from the new wound. Momonosuke's pupils couldn't help but shrink and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

"laugh!"

Momonosuke had already become Tsugukuni Yoshiichi's experimental subject, and he temporarily lost interest in asking Momonosuke questions. After drawing out his sword, he held it horizontally in front of himself and looked at him.

Just as he had sensed before, the broken dawn was growing, and the nutrients for its re-growth seemed to be human blood?

However, the production speed of Dawn was very slow. In just a dozen seconds, apart from some new changes in the fracture, the length of the entire sword did not change at all.

However, such subtle growth was enough to satisfy Yoshiichi Tsugikuni. Until now, he had never explored the most essential ability of his weapon. He only regarded it as an indestructible sword that accompanied him as he grew up.

Because in Tsugumi Yoshiichi's mind, weapons are ultimately external objects, and if a swordsman wants to improve his strength, he can only rely on his own body.

Whether it is breathing techniques, domineering or devil fruits, these are the powers that help humans break the shackles of the flesh.

But now it seems that Yunyi still knows too little about his own weapons.

This sword, which he named Dawn, appeared in this world together with him. Perhaps it also carries a certain mission.
Tsugukuni Yoshiichi withdrew his gaze from the sword of Dawn, and once again swept his cold eyes towards Momonosuke in front of him. He flipped the long sword in his hand lightly, but before he could make any move, Momonosuke could no longer bear the pressure and shouted in shock:

"Don't do it! I'm telling you, what do you want to know? I'll tell you everything!"

"Why did they come after you, right? Because I heard those two people say you were a thief, and I heard from the neighbors that they didn't even see you make a move, you knocked those two people down!"

"I guessed that you might be very powerful, so I brought so many warriors to capture you!"

"I've told you everything you wanted to know, so stop attacking me!"

Momonosuke's voice was full of fear, but when he said these words, Tsugukuni Yoriichi could clearly feel his emotional fluctuations. He was not as panicked as he showed. He still had some calmness.
When Yunichi looked at Momonosuke, his gaze turned cold:
"It's already come to this, are you still going to continue lying to me?"

"Is this interesting?"

As he spoke, Jiguo Yuanyi thrust out the long sword in his hand again, still aiming at the spot below Momonosuke's shoulder, but this time the stab was more towards the heart than the previous two times: "Momonosuke, did you find it?"

"Every attack I make brings me one step closer to your heart."

"I'm asking you questions, so you should think carefully before answering."

"If you lie, you may not be able to live until your father comes to rescue you."

Yoshiichi was afraid that Momonosuke didn't notice this, so he kindly reminded him. Sure enough, Momonosuke couldn't help but lower his head slightly and look towards his shoulder after hearing this, and found that this time, Yoshiichi Tsugukuni was just as he said, and the place where he attacked was closer to his heart.
This position can no longer be considered the shoulder, but the chest
Seeing that no blood was flowing out of the wound, unspeakable terror enveloped Momonosuke's heart.

He could clearly feel his blood flowing out, but strangely, he did not see any blood flowing out of the new wound.

Such a strange scene also shocked Momonosuke.

"I I didn't lie"

Until this moment, Momonosuke still had a lucky mentality in his heart. He didn't know that Tsugakuni Yoriichi had a way to see through whether he was lying or not. He just thought that this was still a test from the other party.

"what!!!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, the blade in Yoshiichirō's hand twisted slightly, and the intense pain made Momonosuke scream.

Looking at Momonosuke whose face was twisted by pain, Tsugikuni Yoriichi did not show any sympathy on his face.

If it were the previous Tsugakuni Yoriichi, he would never be so cruel to Momonosuke, someone he met for the first time and had not seen him do evil, but the current Tsugakuni Yoriichi's state of mind has changed greatly.

In order to achieve one's goals, some means are still necessary.

"I said don't try to lie to my face."

"Momonosuke"

The atmosphere in the room became extremely heavy. Momonosuke gasped and tried hard to force himself to calm down. Looking at the indifferent Tsugakuni Yoshiichi in front of him, Momonosuke saw indifference in the other's eyes.

That kind of indifference that ignores everything.

It was not until this moment that Momonosuke finally realized that his life meant nothing in the other person's eyes.

The red-haired young man in front of him might really kill him.

"Gold!"

"You have gold, and I want the gold on you!"

At this moment, Momonosuke's psychological defenses were finally broken by Yoshiichi Tsugakuni, and he told the truth.

"Gold?!"

When Yoriichi heard what Momonosuke mentioned, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He really had never thought that a daimyo's son like Momonosuke would target him, and it was actually for wealth? !
It seems that this second-generation rich man is even more despicable than Yoriichi had imagined. After learning the truth, Yoriichi Tsugikuni couldn't help but hold his forehead. He wanted to laugh, but when he thought that the future of Wano Country would be handed over to such a person, Yoriichi couldn't laugh no matter what.

"Wano Country ha.hahahaha!"

"If Kozuki Oden knew that you came to me for the gold, I don't know what kind of expression he would show."

"Now that I think about it, I'm actually looking forward to it."

"For someone of your status, is gold really useful to you?"

"Is the son of Light Yu Oden still short of money?"

Yunichi also asked the question he wanted to ask the most. The entire Wano Country belongs to their Kozuki family. How could Momonosuke be interested in ordinary people's money? !
"Lack! There are many things I want, but I can only get them if I have money!"

Momonosuke simply gave up at this point and answered directly. Seeing the other party's frank admission, Yunyi nodded and then asked what he really wanted to know:
"Your Kozuki family has a secret code that has been passed down from generation to generation. Can you decipher it?"

"Your father wrote a logbook when he sailed with the Whitebeard Pirates. Where is it?"

"Also, where is the stone tablet that records the historical text stored?"

"Have you heard of the names Joyboy and Im? How much do you know about him and her?"

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's questions came one after another. He wanted to know too much. After hearing these questions, the young Momonosuke finally understood why the other party detained him. Tsugikoku Yoshiichi also revealed a lot of information. The other party actually knew about the Whitebeard Pirates and even knew that his father had written a logbook.

Not only that, the other party even knows the secrets of their Kozuki family and the text of history.
All these questions made Momonosuke realize that the other party's origins seemed to be very complicated.

"Who are you!?"

"Who the hell are you?!!!"

Momonosuke widened his eyes, and with deep fear he couldn't help but roar.

"My name is Yuichi Tsugikoku!"

"Momonosuke, tell me everything you know. Slowly and bit by bit, we have plenty of time."

At night, the moonlight is hazy.

In Boluo Town, except for the teahouse and other gold-selling vaults, the lights were still on, and the streets were completely dark.

Under the night sky, black shadows flashed rapidly between the rooftops, rapidly approaching an inn in the town.

In the room, Tsugumi Yoshiichi was sitting in front of the windowsill, admiring the moonlight while digesting the information he had received from Momonosuke during the day.

Momonosuke is an uneducated guy who knows very little. The information he provided is of some help to Tsugikuni Yoriichi, but not much. After all, Yoriichi still needs to find the answer from Kozuki Oden.

However, just as he was thinking, his observation Haki also sensed that several auras were rapidly approaching him.

"It seems that you didn't take my words to heart."

"These guys in Wano Country may need to learn a lesson!"
