Merchant ship?"
Hearing Akame's words, Lu Yu got up and walked to the side of the ship.
He picked up the binoculars and, as expected, spotted a luxurious merchant ship appearing in the nearby waters.
It didn't look like an ordinary merchant ship.
As pirates, they would absolutely plunder supplies if they could, never buy them.
The things on the merchant ship would definitely include the supplies they needed.
Justice had nothing to do with Lu Yu, a pirate.
After spotting the merchant ship, Lu Yu tossed Nami aside and ignored her.
He directly issued the order to attack the merchant ship.
Seeing this, Nami wanted to slip away.
It was too dangerous to remain on this guy's ship.
Moreover, a guy who could accurately state all her information must have come this time to attack Coco Yashi Village.
She had to return before Lu Yu and his crew reached Coco Yashi Village to warn everyone to flee for their lives.
Because she truly felt the aura of death from Lu Yu.
"Miss Nami, please remain on the ship for now."
Just as Nami was about to slip away, Akame appeared in front of her.
She spoke with calm eyes.
Akame wasn't as naive as she appeared on the surface.
One should know that she was capable of training newcomers and leading operations in Night Raid.
Her intelligence was also top-notch.
"Uh, I wasn't trying to leave…"
"I…"
"Miss Nami, please don't say anything unnecessary, or I will consider it a threat."
"When faced with a threat, I have only one way of dealing with it—annihilation!"
After Akame finished speaking, she simply sat on the deck, holding her Murasame.
Seeing Akame's unyielding demeanor, Nami felt a bit deflated for a moment.
At this moment, Lu Yu, standing at the bow of Luo Erji's ship, had already approached the huge, luxurious merchant ship.
Such a luxurious merchant ship must have guards.
And the closer he got, the more Lu Yu felt something was off.
An ordinary merchant ship would never be equipped with so many guards.
Moreover, the size and luxury of this ship far exceeded that of a typical merchant ship.
The people on board, upon seeing pirates approaching, did not show the panic typical of ordinary merchant ship crews.
Instead, they watched Lu Yu and his crew with great composure.
Some noble-like individuals even held red wine glasses, discussing something suggestively.
"I didn't expect to encounter an amateur pirate show out here."
"Guards over there, go kill these pirates."
"Oh, and leave the leader for me; he looks quite good. If his body has no scars, he'd be a nice boy!"
At this moment, a fat noble.
Clutching a stemmed glass in his hand, he spoke with a lewd expression, his voice like a croaking rooster.
"Understood, Duke Carosa."
"Everyone, prepare to annihilate the pirates!"
"Do not kill the pirate leader!"
The captain of the guard directly drew his long saber.
He immediately issued the attack order.
"Hey, hey, hey, are you saying you want to attack my pirate ship?"
Just as the guard captain had given the order, a voice came from behind him.
At this moment, a large bead of sweat appeared on his forehead.
And at this moment, he dared not make any move.
Because, in addition to the voice, a terrifying killing intent emanated from behind him.
As the captain of the guard, he had also sailed the high seas for a long time.
Frequently performing escort missions, he had seen many desperate individuals.
These people would more or less have such an aura about them.
But this intense, and without the slightest admixture of other emotions, was the first time he had encountered it.
He knew he had met a formidable opponent.
This battle might not be as easy as before.
"Clang!"
Just as he was in a daze, a swordsman instantly struck.
The long saber in her hand sliced past the guard captain's ear in a strange manner, directly attacking the person behind him.
As the sound of metal clashing came, the guard captain reacted, then quickly rolled away.
When he looked up again, he saw that handsome and charming face.
That's right, Lu Yu, who had just been on the pirate ship at sea, had now appeared on the merchant ship.
This was Lu Yu's assassination technique!
"A swordsman?"
"Good strength, and she's a girl."
Lu Yu said lightly.
However, what greeted him was another fierce attack.
Every move gave Lu Yu a sense of déjà vu.
But the essence contained within it felt very unfamiliar.
That's right, he had definitely fought a swordsman of this style before at some point.
"Ittoryu?"
"Genzo's disciple?"
Finally, Lu Yu remembered what style this was.
When he fought Zoro before, Zoro also used this fighting style.
However, the attacks of the female swordsman in front of him were clearly more mature than Zoro's.
In fact, there was already an understanding that transcended Ittoryu swordsmanship.
Because he had integrated Akame's abilities, Lu Yu also had his own insights into swordsmanship.
"Kuina?"
Suddenly, Lu Yu thought of a name.
The next moment, he blurted it out.
Upon hearing this name, the woman in front of him was clearly startled.
The long saber in her hand even wavered slightly.
That's right, just that one sentence confirmed Lu Yu's guess.
"It seems this ship is a bit unusual!"
"A simple merchant ship wouldn't have you here."
"Tell me, why!"
Lu Yu instantly released his Armament Haki, forcing the distracted Kuina back with a single strike.
Then, he asked with a smile.
Lu Yu's smile immediately caused all of Kuina's defenses to recede.
Her eyes were no longer as cold as when she first began her attack.
"Great Grade 24 Skill—Wind Breath!"
Kuina slowly said.
Hearing this, Lu Yu mostly understood.
As a swordsman, and one who had been able to train with Wado Ichimonji since childhood, Kuina.
It was definitely not just because she wanted a Great Grade sword.
Rather, this Wind Breath had some special significance, a meaning akin to Wado Ichimonji.
"Let's do it. Just cut all these guys down."
"I want the goods and treasure. This sword is for you."
After Lu Yu finished speaking, he directly charged towards the guard captain.
Kuina was stunned. Originally, this Wind Breath was her reward.
But now, it seemed there was no need for that.
Moreover, she had no good feelings towards the people on this ship.
She had originally planned to deal with some people after obtaining her reward.
Streaks of fresh blood directly splattered onto the deck.
And those nobles still watched as if it were a play.
Such a scene, in their eyes, seemed to be commonplace.
Soon, there was not a single guard standing on the deck.
And Lu Yu and Kuina were covered in the blood of these people.
It must be said, compared to Akame, Lu Yu's killing technique still needed improvement!
