"I really want to own a sword that can melt anything it cuts into blood and absorb it."
Shiryu licked his lips and looked at Nojiko, whose Demon Slayer Mark was quickly disappearing.
"You can think of it that way, Shiryu. Rather than that, can you hand over the sword in your hand to us? Our captain needs the demon sword you're holding very much."
Nojiko smiled gently.
"Hehehe, do I have the right to refuse?"
"I really don't understand why you guys are thinking about taking other people's swords when you already have such excellent weapons."
Shiryu shook his head and threw the demon sword Raiu with its scabbard toward Ikki behind him.
Although he was reluctant to part with his weapon, he understood that there was nothing he could do at this time.
"The weapon will be stored with you for now, Ikki."
"I'll definitely get this weapon back later."
"Magellan, call someone to take care of my wound."
Shiryu glanced deeply at Ikki, then turned to look at Hannyabal.
Although his injuries weren't further aggravated due to Nojiko's Minazuki being sheathed, the long wound across his abdomen still made Shiryu feel quite uncomfortable.
"Shiryu, you'll stay here for the rest of your life."
"There will be no chance for you to find Ikki again."
"As for the wound... Hey, you guys, go get Shiryu treated."
Magellan called to the guards standing not far away.
Someone immediately responded to Magellan's call, ran over with a medical kit, and quickly treated Shiryu's abdominal injury.
"Well, Ikki, we're done here."
"Let's leave."
After putting Shiryu back into his cage, Magellan looked at Ikki in front of him and said.
At this moment, Magellan valued Ikki's power more and more.
Nojiko had the power to defeat Shiryu. Although Shiryu was only in a weakened state, it was enough to prove how powerful Ikki's crew was.
He didn't want the powerful Ikki and his crew to stay in this sixth-level prison for too long.
Even though Ikki had always been very reasonable, he was still worried that Ikki's interest in swordsmen and famous swords would make his job more difficult.
After all, there were still many powerful swordsmen imprisoned in this sixth-floor prison.
Among them was a powerful swordsman from the previous era who was legendary for being comparable to Roger and Whitebeard.
"Don't worry yet, Director Magellan."
Ikki glanced at Magellan with a smile, and then at Sadi-chan who was standing beside him.
"Director Magellan, this lovely and beautiful lady just said, 'If I learned from Ikki, could I also have Nojiko's power?', right?"
"Although I can't guarantee that this lady can reach Nojiko's level."
"But if you can grant me a request, I can let her come aboard my ship for a while."
"At that time, I promise to help her awaken her Innate Demon Slayer Mark and learn good swordsmanship."
Hearing this, Magellan didn't say anything, but Sadi-chan, whom Ikki had mentioned, looked over excitedly.
"What?! Ikki, will you teach me?"
"Of course, as long as Director Magellan agrees to my conditions."
"What conditions do you want him to promise you? Could it be the sword in Deputy Director Hannyabal's hand?"
Saying that, Sadi-chan glanced at Hannyabal who was standing motionless.
"Eh? You want my sword? No, no... This is my weapon. If you want to give guidance, you should be teaching me."
Hannyabal clutched the famous sword Kessui in his arms and looked at Ikki warily.
He seemed afraid that Ikki would snatch his sword away.
"Haha, don't worry. I've made my position clear before about your sword."
"Although it's a pity, it's just a skillful grade sword."
"For me, it's not of much use."
"By conditions, I mean something else."
Ikki shook his head and turned to look at a particular cage.
Magellan followed Ikki's gaze and realized who Ikki was looking at.
His face suddenly became serious and he said instinctively.
"Ikki, do you want to fight that man?"
"This is absolutely not possible. That man is too dangerous. I will never let him out."
As soon as these words came out, Sadi-chan immediately showed a disappointed expression.
But she didn't say anything.
As a high-ranking official, she naturally understood who was imprisoned in the cage that Ikki was looking at now.
"Haha, Director Magellan, you don't have to let him out."
"Just let me go in and compete with him. I promise I'll just compete with him."
"You don't even need to unchain him, just loosen his chains a little so he can swing his sword freely."
Ikki shook his head and said.
"Ikki, who's locked up there, and why do you care so much?"
Tashigi stepped forward and asked curiously as she looked in the direction of the cage.
"If my guess is correct, that person should be Red the Aloof Patrick Redfield, who was once almost as famous as Pirate King Roger and Whitebeard, the current captain of the Whitebeard Pirates."
"From just now, I've felt an extremely powerful Observation Haki watching me."
"And this person also has a very strong swordsman's aura. After thinking about it, he can only be Patrick Redfield."
The corners of Ikki's mouth curved upward, and his eyes sparkled as he looked at the Patrick Redfield's cage.
With his understanding of swordsmanship, he could clearly judge the state of the swordsman's aura revealed by the Patrick Redfield when Nojiko used Minazuki just now.
That was clearly the realm of being able to cut the sea itself.
Ikki felt quite excited just thinking about the fact that by defeating the Patrick Redfield, he could obtain the "Sea-Breaking Realm Swordsman Patrick Redfield Challenge Permission."
According to the rules of the system, as long as you defeat an enemy swordsman, you can obtain relevant rewards.
Among them, it doesn't matter whether they're in a weakened state or imprisoned.
If it hadn't been against his usual image to directly step forward and attack the Patrick Redfield, it might have aroused the suspicion of Magellan and others.
Ikki could even go in and fight the Patrick Redfield without having Magellan loosen the chains on the Patrick Redfield.
Of course, Ikki also knew that the current Patrick Redfield wasn't completely helpless.
Judging from the fighting spirit he was showing now, it would take a certain amount of strength to defeat him.
