Chapter 015: Someone in Your Family Died? That's Great!
"Dream fulfiller?"
Koushirou was utterly confused by Liu Feng's unfamiliar term.
"What do you mean?"
Liu Feng paused, just about to carefully consider how to explain.
To the side, Roger took a break from his busy eating of roast meat to chime in:
"Someone in your family died, right?"
As soon as these words fell, Koushirou's face instantly turned black, his teeth grinding loudly.
He felt that the peaceful mindset he had cultivated for years was destroyed by this bastard Roger within a few short hours today!
Does he even know how to talk? Would he die if he didn't speak!?
Damn right someone in my family died!
My whole family died!
Oh wait, this guy... it seems his whole family really did die.
A family of three...
All died quite tragically, it seems.
He took a deep breath, repeatedly chanting in his heart, "Don't argue with an idiot, don't argue with an idiot..."
Just when he was about to suppress his anger, Roger, at this very moment, added another sentence that couldn't have been worse:
"It's actually quite good that someone died, it's fine."
Snap!
Veins suddenly bulged on Koushirou's forehead.
Damn you!!
"I'll give you a kick!!"
"Get the hell out!!"
"My roast meat!!"
Koushirou roared angrily, reaching out a hand with lightning speed towards Roger, intending to snatch the roast meat from his hand.
Damn it, do you think I'm easy to bully just because I have a good temper!?
You caused a whole mess, and now the entire Marine force and World Government are hunting you all over the world. With a bounty of over 5 billion Berries on your head, you shamelessly come to my dojo to mooch food and drink!
And now you say this to me!?
"Don't, don't, don't!!"
Seeing the roast meat about to be snatched away, Roger pointed at Liu Feng in panic and shouted:
"He can resurrect the dead!!"
"What?"
Koushirou's hand froze in mid-air, but his head whipped around, staring tightly at the calm and composed Liu Feng, as if trying to see flowers bloom on him.
Seeing Koushirou stop, Roger let out a long sigh of relief. Then, fearing the roast meat would be gone, he stuffed a huge, piping hot piece of meat directly into his mouth.
"...Liu Feng... can... can resurrect..."
"Who in your family... died..."
"Mmm, delicious... died..."
"Gulp!"
"—He can help you resurrect them!"
With the last sentence, Roger almost choked to death.
Then he lay comfortably on the floor, lifting his shirt and rubbing his belly with one hand, looking like he was enjoying the afterglow.
But no one present was paying attention to him anymore.
The air was terrifyingly quiet.
Koushirou's expression was terrifyingly complex: surprise, fear, sorrow, loneliness.
Changing constantly.
"Resurrect... dead family members?"
He muttered to himself in a hoarse voice.
Unknowingly, his eyes gradually turned red.
The charcoal fire had quietly extinguished at some point.
The cool breeze quietly blew away the scent of roast meat, and the summer day in Shimotsuki Village seemed exceptionally tranquil at this moment.
Liu Feng wasn't in a hurry either; he just waited quietly, lighting a cigarette.
He didn't know why Koushirou, a descendant of the Shimotsuki Clan, the strongest Samurai family in Wano Country, was hiding in a small place like the East Blue. But he clearly understood that even a Samurai with a firm will had places where they could be easily shaken.
If the always calm and gently smiling Koushirou had a weakness, it was that little girl.
The Kendo genius who once rubbed Zoro into the ground 2001 times, but ultimately died falling down the stairs.
The sunshine and expectation in Kendo Master Koushirou's heart, his most beloved daughter, Kuina.
At a certain moment.
Koushirou suddenly looked up, staring at Liu Feng with red eyes, and said:
"What exactly do you want!?"
He didn't question whether Liu Feng possessed the ability to resurrect Kuina.
Because the lively Pirate King Roger in front of him was the best proof.
He just wanted to know what this mysterious man's purpose was.
Liu Feng exhaled a long stream of smoke. His face, shrouded in mist, appeared even more profound and unfathomable.
He said softly:
"I lack a sword."
Koushirou frowned.
"A sword?"
He looked at Liu Feng's empty hands and asked:
"What kind of sword do you want?"
He paused, then added:
"Given your Kendo cultivation, ordinary famous swords probably wouldn't catch your eye."
Liu Feng smiled.
"No, you guessed wrong."
"I don't want a weapon."
"I need a sword."
Koushirou was stunned, then his eyes gradually widened.
He finally understood Liu Feng's meaning.
This guy wants a combatant!
A sword that can help him kill people!!
Instantly, he fell silent again.
"Koushirou, I know you've lived in seclusion in the East Blue for a long time and dislike conflict."
Liu Feng stood up slowly.
"But don't forget, some things can't be avoided by being an ostrich."
"Disaster always follows closely behind."
"Once the war starts, do you think the Shimotsuki Clan can continue to survive in Wano Country?"
He put out his cigarette and dragged Roger, who had fallen asleep at some unknown point, out the door.
"Finally, I can remind you."
"That man with the Kozuki surname will return."
The last sentence left Koushirou stunned on the spot.
