  Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū, from 'Rurouni Kenshin', is the swordsmanship wielded by the protagonist, Himura Kenshin. Its bde draw is overwhelmingly powerful, and the most terrifying aspects of this style are its speed and ferocity, both of which are utilized to their fullest potential.

  Its bde draw is its most formidable teique, known as the "Godspeed Draweique." By the time you realize the speed, the sword has already passed through your body and reached your back, marking the moment of your defeat.

  At this moment, Rojen’s body is possessed by Himura Kenshin, and in an instant, he has fully mastered and internalized everything about Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū.

  "Godspeed Draweique!"

  "Ryūsōsen!"

  "Doryūsen!"

  "Ryūtsuisen!"

  "Ryūshōsen!"

  "Kuzuryūsen!"

  And finally, the ultimate esoteric teique, Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki. In an instant, tless figures fshed through Rojen’s mind, practig in the sea of his sciousness, then magnifying and merging with his body.

  "Fast!"

  "Precise!"

  "Fierce!"

  A dangerous aura emanated from his eyes, and in a fsh, Rojen’s figure passed by more than a dozen pirates.

  "Ryūshōsen!"

  A dazzling sword light bloomed like an ephemeral flower, followed by screams. The area around him was cleared in an instant.

  "Damn brat!"

  The bald captain stared in fear at the young man approag step by step, his heart filled with dread.

  He fully uood the bat strength of his subordinates—elite pirates who had survived life-ah situations. Yet, they couldn’t even withstand a single breath before falling to the ground.

  Who oh is this kid?

  "Ryūtsuisen!"

  "Nine-Headed Dragon Mountain!"

  One sword move after another blossomed in Rojen’s hands, and the nearly hundred charging pirates rapidly dwindled. His superb sword arts and swift movement speed made him like a tiger among men, unstoppable. In front of this tiger, the pirates were like sheep.

  Dozens of breaths ter, Rojen’s mastery of Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū became even more familiar, and his fusion with Himura Kenshin had reached its peak.

  With every step he took, 3-4 cries of pain followed.

  Finally, when only about thirty pirates remaihey looked at the sea of corpses and were overe with fear.

  "Ah, he’s not human— he’s a devil!"

  "He’s to! We have no hope at all!"

  Under such advanced sword arts, they were pletely powerless to resist.

  "Captain, what do we do?" A pirate cried out in trembling voice.

  The bald captain’s eyes grew even fiercer. He touched his bald head, hoisted his rge sword, and stepped forward. After sing the fallen pirates, his gaze turned even more menag.

  "Brat, who are you? You’re ruthless!"

  "A dying ma o know," Rojen spoke indifferently, not even gng at the bald captain.

  He slowly sheathed his long sword and closed it.

  These pirates had lost their ce and were no longer a threat.

  "You’ve got guts, damn it! Do you know who I am?"

  "I’m the Ominous Ghost Arno, with a bounty of 35 million!"

  The bald captain was enraged. He te strides and was soon in front of Rojen.

  A bright bde light fshed, sshing at Rojen from aremely tricky angle.

  Rojen’s eyes flickered, and he sidestepped slightly to dodge the attack. His right haed on the hilt of his sword, but he did not strike.

  He seemed to be brewing something, allowing the bald captain to swing his sword repeatedly while he tio evade.

  However, it was clear that although Rojen’s body was in stant motion, the cat on his shoulder remaieady, ued by the movements.

  Ten seds ter, Rojen’s eyes grew brighter. The imposing manner he had been accumuting seemed to have reached its peak.

  At that moment, the bald captain lunged forward.

  In terms of strength, judging by their bouhey weren’t far apart. But in terms of teiques, the gap was vast.

  Suddenly, Rojen’s eyes narrowed into slits.

  The moment, with a "g," Rainbow Abyss was uhed.

  An incredibly dazzling and sharp sword i surged forth, its mere aura seemingly capable of splitting a person’s head.

  Before the bald captain, a sword light rapidly expahen, he saw a faint figure pass straight through the ter of his body.

  "I’m fine?!" Arno excimed in fear.

  Just then, he heard the sound of a long sword being sheathed behind him.

  As the sound faded, he fearfully clutched his neck, where a thin line rapidly widened, and bright red blood gushed out.

  "Godspeed Draweique!" Rojen murmured, his eyes focused.

  Among Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū, the most famous is undoubtedly the bde draw.

  The moment the sword is drawn, the enemy’s fate is sealed. This domineering, swift bde draw has instilled fear in tless people.

  Himura Kenshin was known as "Battōsai" precisely because of this bde draw.

  At the same time, the bde draw is the foundation of all Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū teiques.

  Just from this initial attempt, this sword art brought Rojen a pleasant surprise.

  It was indeed powerful— so powerful that a sirike instantly killed this pirate with a bounty of 35 million, whose strength was not far from his own.

  "The Unhindered Sword Method is als, but its strength lies iricacy of its teiques. However, pared to the domineering and sharpness of Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū, it falls slightly short."

  The two swordsmanship styles are vastly different in nature, yet both are equally formidable.

  Of course, the Unhindered Sword Method carries a sense hteousness and chivalry, upright and straightforward, whideed cks the killing i of the bde draw.

  After dealing with Arno, Rojen narrowed his eyes and took a step forward, charging into the remaining pirates.

  A moment ter, screams rang out tinuously.

  Rojen would not spare these cruel pirates.

  "Killing oo save ten thousand— why not?"

  He was not a naive do-gooder, nor was he some savior. But when entering injustice, he would act. Since he had e across these sdrels, eliminating them was nothing more than a duty.

  As the saying goes, "In solitude, train oneself; in prominence, be the world." There is a bit less of the reckless righteousness here, but a bit more of the rationality of self-preservation.

  When within one’s capabilities, one should sider the surrounding world.

  This is the way of life, the way of survival.

  Rojen’s current strength was not immense, but it was more than enough to kill these pirates, save the civilians of this isnd, and prevent the i people these pirates would have killed iure.

  As for the Mariheir flict stemmed from differing allegiances.

  In just a dozehs of time, the remaining pirates were sughtered by Rojen.

  A faint smell of blood filled the air, ing to the point of vomiting. The cat on his shoulder disdainfully covered its nose.

  "You are safe now"

  Sheathing his sword, Rojen walked forward with a smile.

  This demeanor, pletely different from his earlier ess, left the vilgers momentarily stunned.
