My partner in One Piece is Esdeath

"As your Excellency said, I am from the country of Wano, but now I am just an unknown wanderer on the sea." Sasaki said.

"I heard that Wano Country is a closed country. How did you get out?"

"It's hard to look back on the past..." Sasaki took another sip of wine.

"Hey, hey, let's talk about your own affairs, Major Annan."

Hagrid said with a smile.

"Me? What do I have to talk about?"

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Roger Hagrid. Of course, you don't know me, so let me introduce myself in another way." Hagrid cleared his throat and continued.

"I am the first officer of the Hammer Pirates."

With a flash of silver light, Annan slashed at Hagrid.

Clang!

Sasaki drew his sword to hold Annan at bay, "I'm sorry, but it's indeed against the samurai's ways to interfere in this matter, but I have made an agreement with Lord Hagrid to protect him."

"I went back to the South China Sea specifically for the secret treasure, and I just sensed you. The unintentional move you made many years ago actually had unexpected results."

"Major Annan, to be honest, I'm surprised. No one thought that the kid from a few years ago would grow up so quickly."

"A naval swordsman in his twenties has an unlimited future. Of course, you have to nip it in the bud before you become successful. I don't want to experience the same experience as Doflamingo."

Hagrid's right hand emits a little white light.

"I am a parasite who ate the parasite fruit. By marking a person's body, I can sense the person's aura and strength. If the host dies, his fruit power will be transferred to me."

"I disappoint you." Annan pushed Sasaki away with all his strength and sheathed his sword.

"I haven't gotten the devil fruit yet."

"It doesn't matter, I already have a better one." Hagrid laughed.

"I originally thought that I would find a chance to deal with you after I obtained the secret treasure, but I didn't expect that you would also be attracted by the secret treasure."

"I'm not here for that."

Annan took a few steps back, holding the scabbard with his left hand and the handle with his right hand, leaning forward.

"Iaijutsu? It's just right. I've also dabbled in it."

Sasaki also assumed the Iai pose.

"Secret Sword·Steel-cutting Flash!"

"Ia-ryu·Iai!"

Swish!

The two sides passed each other.

Looking at Sasaki who turned around to take the sword. Annan clicked his tongue, his eyes were solemn, and he covered his chest with his backhand. Under the cover of domineering force, there was still a scar there.

Based on what he saw and heard, he didn't even fully capture the action of his sword.

too fast!

A streak of blood appeared on Sasaki's cheek, "Steel Flash, a sword move specifically designed to break the opponent's weapon? It's a pity that I have no use for it."

He raised his katana.

"It's a pity that a genius like you doesn't have a famous sword to accompany you." Sasaki said regretfully.

Annan's eyes narrowed slightly, "Yes, but you are just like me. That sword doesn't seem to recognize you as its holder."

"You are indeed a swordsman," Sasaki praised. "Wandering around the world, one of the things I do is to find an owner for this famous sword."

Sasaki slowly drew his famous sword.

The mirror-like blade reflected Sasaki's thin face.

"'Muramasa', one of the twenty-one weapons of the Great Knife, is a symbol of disaster for the country in Wano."

"Knife that brings disaster to the country, you are also a person with stories. It's a pity that I don't have wine here."

Annan took a deep breath, a red light flashed in his eyes, and the color of seeing and hearing was turned on.

"Hagrid should have told you about me. As a samurai, you should know that I will fight to the death against him and the pirate group he belongs to."

Sasaki nodded: "Killing parents is a sworn hatred. Originally, I would not interfere in such a matter, but unfortunately, Hagrid saved my life."

Sasaki turned back to Hagrid and said, "Please leave here. The next battle will inevitably affect you."

"As you wish." Hagrid nodded slightly and then disappeared.

What is this bastard's ability? Teleport?

Annan didn't think about it.

In the island woods, a battle between swordsmen is about to begin.

Sasaki held up Muramasa and said: "Sasaki Musashi uses one of the twenty-one great sword skills, the Taishou 'Muramasa'."

Annan pulled out his saber and said, "August Annan uses a naval officer's standard saber."

The two looked at each other dozens of meters apart. Without any warning or even an initial movement, the two long knives with different shapes collided together.

I saw cracks in the ground splitting like a spider web, and in an instant, countless sword lights shot out overwhelmingly.

Annan was suppressed, and Sasaki knocked Annan back dozens of meters with a knife.

Muramasa firmly suppressed Annan's saber.

"No self flow·drizzle!"

Sasaki shouted low, deflected the blade, and sharp slashes came to Annan's eyes one after another.

Annan's eyes were cold, with a long-lost excitement hidden deep in his eyes, and he drew his saber with two fingers.

"Secret Sword·Breaking Water Flow!"

A black-gold slash came across the sky, canceling out the incoming slashes, and crossed the sky and headed straight for Sasaki.

Sasaki held Muramasa with both hands, exerted force on his waist, and swung out the knife.

"No Self-flow·Tian Chong!"

The jet-black flying slash quickly extended from the direction in which he swung the sword, forming a crescent shape, smoothly cutting through Annan's slash, and then the crescent moon quickly turned into gas and spread towards Annan's side.

This is a domineering slash that utilizes the hardening of the weapon's color to the extreme, combined with Sasaki's unique gaseous slash.

To deal with this kind of attack, we can only fight head-on.

Annan raised the sword high above his head, his domineering attitude wrapped around him. Slash with all your strength from top to bottom.

"Cut with one stroke!"

The trees were broken and smoke and dust were everywhere. When the vision became clear again, the two men's long knives collided together again, making a crisp sound of sword collision.

The two figures kept moving together, the sword shadows flew, the ground sank during the battle between the two, and the air was distorted.

Pong!

The two separated.

At this moment, the fighting area had moved from the woods to the seaside. The ground collapsed and seawater poured in. Both of them stepped in the seawater.

"Pfft!" Annan spat out a mouthful of blood and half-knelt with the saber in both hands.

Even with the domineering body protection, various parts of the body are obviously covered with stab wounds.

Annan looked at the saber. Although it was wrapped with domineering power, the small gap on the blade was also particularly eye-catching.

The long sword wrapped in domineering energy can withstand all his power, but it cannot withstand attacks of the same level, let alone a head-on confrontation with a famous sword.

If you insist on ten swords at most, it will break.

"You can't hold on long, and your sword can't hold on much longer." Sasaki said with a hint of regret.

"I started practicing my swordsmanship when I was seven years old, and it has been forty-five years now." Sasaki stood with his sword in hand.

"Although it has been more than ten years and my swordsmanship has deteriorated, I have to admit that there are differences between people."

"Oden is like this, Hawkeye man is like this, and you are like this too."

"You are all swordsman geniuses."

"It's a pity that today I have to kill a genius with my own hands."

Sasaki slowly pulled out Muramasa, and a strange red light appeared on Muramasa's blade.

"The famous sword 'Muramasa', no, it should be called the demon sword 'Murasame'."

"Your Excellency Annan, I will use it to end your life."
