"Yes." Ogata agreed, then turned to look not far away.

I saw many people surrounding the center of the cabin, three circles inside and three outside.

In the center of the circle is a samurai wearing a sword, with a neatly shaved Tsukiyo head, and a conspicuous birthmark in the center of his head. He is one of the guards of this ship.

The "Birthmark Warrior" was talking incessantly, and the people around him were listening attentively.

Because the "Birthmark Samurai" made a loud noise, the whole cabin became a little noisy, so Amachi was amazed that Asuki could fall asleep in such a noisy environment.

This ship has a total of 8 guards, all of whom are samurai with swords on their waists.

These eight guards would take turns patrolling the cabin from time to time to check whether any stowaways were causing trouble.

All stowaways, including Ogata, are probably most familiar with this samurai with the birthmark on his head.

Because this "birthmark warrior" is a talkative person and loves to tell everyone in the cabin about his various heroic deeds in the past.

Ogata once listened to several "speeches" given by the "Birthmark Samurai" out of boredom. This "Birthmark Samurai" used to be a ronin wandering around the Ou area. He mainly talked about the various things he experienced when he was a ronin.

And this "Birthmark Warrior" happens to be a very eloquent person, so many people are willing to listen to the "Birthmark Warrior" tell his story.

At this moment, the "Birthmark Warrior" is talking about his various heroic pasts again.

"The swordsmanship I am studying is called the 'Innocent Flying Gull Style' swordsmanship. I wonder if you have heard of it."

The birthmark warrior imitates the storyteller's tone.

The people who gathered around him to listen had puzzled faces.

"This is a swordsmanship school that is only spread in a small area in the Dewa area."

"But just like masters often appear in humble streets and alleys, swordsmanship schools also often have schools that are not well-known but are very powerful."

"Just like the 'Innocent Flying Gull Style' I'm studying."

“The reason why it is named ‘Innocent Flying Gull Style’ is because it contains the Secret Sword Oukiri, which is created based on the movements of seagulls hunting for food on the sea!”

"Like a seagull hunting for prey, quickly chop down the sword and kill the enemy with one strike!"

"Because it is a secret sword, according to the sect's regulations, only those with permission from the 'catalog' can learn this move."

Having said this, the birthmark warrior showed a proud look. Then he stretched out his right thumb and gestured towards himself.

"And I am very fortunate to have obtained the sect's 'catalog' permission through hard work and obtained the qualification to learn this move."

Surprises and exclamations erupted from the surrounding bystanders.

"Then can you demonstrate to us? This secret sword of your sect?" A certain young man asked boldly.

As soon as the young man said this, everyone else turned their curious eyes to the warrior with the birthmark.

Perhaps it was because of the attention of everyone that the Birthmark Warrior felt a little carried away. After hesitating for a while, the Birthmark Warrior cleared his throat:

"This is a master's unique skill. Generally speaking, it cannot be shown to outsiders casually."

"But since you want to see it so much, let me demonstrate it to you."

After saying that, the birthmark warrior pulled out the sword from his waist, and then raised the sword in his palm high in a slightly strange posture.

Because the birthmark warrior's voice was so loud that Ogata couldn't even think about not hearing it.

After hearing that the birthmark warrior was going to demonstrate his so-called sect's secret sword, both Ogata and Atachi couldn't help but become somewhat interested and turned to look at the birthmark warrior.

After the birthmark warrior raised his sword high in a strange posture, he continued to take deep breaths to gather strength. After gathering enough strength, he slashed the sword into the air in front of him.

In terms of momentum, his chop was indeed very powerful, causing the inexperienced listeners around him to express shock and praise.

As for those who know the ropes...

"Ha..." Ogata showed an expression of "That's it?" and then shook his head gently.

The birthmark samurai didn't notice Ogata, who was now showing an expression of "That's it?". He had put his sword back into its sheath and was currently immersed in the shocked and complimentary looks of the people around him.

But just then

"Is this the secret sword of your so-called 'Innocent Flying Gull Sect'? Such a flashy trick with no practical value can be used as a secret sword, then your 'Innocent Flying Gull Sect' is probably not worth mentioning.

A school of swordsmanship."

A cold voice sounded.

As soon as this voice sounded, everyone in the room who was still awake immediately looked shocked, including Ogata.

Everyone focused their attention on the owner of the voice, a very handsome young man.

This beautiful boy is sitting far away from Ogata.

His appearance reminded Ogata of Asai, the kind of handsome boy who was so handsome that Ogata wouldn't be surprised if he were told that there were many men who favored the public to support them.

Like Ogata, he did not shave his Tsukiyo head, but kept his hair long, but instead of pulling it into a bun like Ogata, he tied his hair into a high ponytail at the back of his head.

He seems to be a little younger than Ogata, about 178 years old.

Next to this beautiful boy, there is an old man in his 60s sitting cross-legged. This old man is currently tugging at the sleeves of the beautiful boy and whispering something to the beautiful boy, but the beautiful boy has always looked unmoved.

appearance.

There is no doubt that what this beautiful young man said just now made the birthmark warrior's expression change drastically.

"Hey, what did you just say?" The birthmark warrior strode towards the beautiful boy with a gloomy face.

"I just said that the so-called secret sword you just used was just a flashy trick. If you use such flashy tricks as the so-called 'secret sword', your 'Innocent Flying Owl Style' must be nothing.

A very top-notch swordsmanship school." The beautiful young man repeated roughly what he had just said without showing any signs of weakness.

The expression of the Birthmark Warrior has now become very exciting, and his entire face has turned into the color of pig liver.

At this time, this beautiful young man continued:

"The so-called 'gull cut' move you just performed was a flashy sword stance, and the attack had no momentum. Such a move has no actual combat value at all. It can only be used for show, to fool the people who don't understand swordsmanship."

"If you use your Ouchi move to fight against a real swordsman, I'm afraid you will be chopped off by someone before you even have time to show off your fancy sword-raising stance."

Hearing this beautiful boy accurately describe the flaws of the so-called secret sword of the Birthmark Warrior, Ogata couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then looked at the beautiful boy carefully.

"Alas..." At this time, the beautiful young man sighed, "These so-called secret swords are really harmful to people. Their popularity is one of the important reasons for the decline of the current swordsmanship..."

The beautiful boy's words just now were like a needle piercing into the heart of the birthmark warrior.

The angry birthmark warrior opened and closed his mouth, as if he was thinking of words to argue with the beautiful boy.

But in the end, the birthmark warrior chose to put his hand on the saber at his waist.

"You bastard! You're just a commoner, do you know what swordsmanship is? How dare you utter arrogant words to insult a samurai! Watch me chop you with my sword!"

The Birthmark Warrior's behavior as he was about to draw his sword frightened many people around him.

Many people stood between the Birthmark Warrior and the beautiful boy, preventing the Birthmark Warrior from drawing his sword and urging the Birthmark Warrior to calm down.

Ogata also frowned at this time, and was ready to quickly step forward to stop it if something unexpected happened.

As for Azhu, she was awakened by the noisy movement. She was wiping the saliva from the corner of her mouth and looking around blankly.

As for the beautiful young man who was the master of this incident, he was still sitting on his knees silently, looking unmoved by the birthmark warrior who was about to draw his sword to kill him.

Perhaps because he gradually calmed down, the Birthmark Warrior's expression gradually improved.

After glaring at the beautiful young man with a hateful look, he gritted his teeth and said, "Boy, you have saved a life. If it weren't for the boss's rule not to use weapons without permission on this ship, I would have killed him right now."

you."

Having said that, perhaps because he was not in the mood to stay here any longer, the birthmark warrior flicked his sleeves and strode out of the cabin.

As the birthmark warrior left, the originally tense atmosphere in the cabin immediately dissipated.

Seeing that the incident ended peacefully, Ogata's brows slowly relaxed.

The audience members who were originally listening to the story told by the Birthmark Warrior either looked at each other or cast strange looks at the beautiful young man, and then dispersed one by one.

As for Azhu, after seeing that the matter seemed to be over, she leaned her head back and fell asleep again, with saliva dripping from the corner of her mouth again.

"I almost thought we were going to start a fight..." Amachi muttered.

"Me too." Ogata answered, "Fortunately, the matter was resolved peacefully. Okay, let's continue doing our things? Do you want to sleep for a while?"

Ogata only regarded what just happened as a minor incident and didn't pay any more attention to it.

But at this moment, Ogata suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind him, as well as a kind voice saying hello.

"Your Majesty, please take a step."

Ogata raised his eyebrows and turned to look behind him.

The person who was walking towards him from behind and saying hello to him was the beautiful young man who almost caused a big incident just now.

The beautiful boy was followed by the old man who had been sitting next to him just now.

Compared with the kind face of the beautiful young man, the old man had a faint look of helplessness on his face.

After the beautiful boy knelt down beside Ogata very familiarly, Ogata asked calmly: "Is something wrong?"

The beautiful young man smiled slightly, then lowered his voice: "Your Majesty... is a samurai, right?"

Before Ogata could say anything, the beautiful boy continued:
To be continued...
