Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

"what?!"

Sanemi Shinazugawa immediately stood up, his eyes bloodshot, and glared angrily at Ron, saying, "What did you say?! I'm stupid? What did I say wrong? Tell me! Yes, I'm no match for you, but both I and the entire Demon Slayer Corps are willing to give our lives to kill Muzan Kibutsuji. You're going to dismiss everything about us with just one sentence? There's a limit to jokes!"

“Sanemi”.

Sanemi Shinazugawa did not stop because of Kagaya Ubuyashiki's words; his bloodshot eyes were fixed on Ron, who was sitting on the cushion.

"A mere outsider of unknown origin, acting as if he knows everything. So, what exactly do you want to do at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters?"

Ron took a sip of his drink and slowly stood up.

"He really is an idiot."

Shinazugawa Sanemi's pupils contracted, and he could no longer remain calm. He immediately kicked out at him.

Ron's eyes widened.

A dazzling light shone in his azure eyes.

An invisible repulsive force erupted.

Sanemi Shinazugawa was instantly sent flying backward like a cannonball, smashing through layers of wooden walls and flying out of the house.

23, The Shocking Pillars

"!!"

Before the pillars could react, they felt the surrounding air suddenly freeze, and an extremely heavy, invisible pressure fell on their shoulders, shaking their minds and making it difficult for them to even get up.

The pillars looked up in horror.

The young man in black, who had stood up and was holding a silver-blue wine jug, looked down at them with his deep blue eyes, like a god.

Shinobu Kocho stared at him blankly, her heart churning with turmoil.

Just by his imposing presence, he could make Zhu unable to stand up... This person is indeed not on the same level as them.

They were so powerful they were practically gods.

Among the crowd, only the physically weak Kagaya Ubuyashiki was unaffected by the oppressive force.

He was blind and unaware of what had happened.

But he sensed something from the atmosphere.

"Mr. Ron, are you angry?"

Ubuyashiki Kagaya asked softly.

"A little bit. I don't like being offended by idiots, so I've temporarily incapacitated him."

Ron said calmly, "When I said he was stupid, I wasn't referring to what he said, but rather that he misunderstood me."

"Your current strength is indeed no match for Muzan Kibutsuji and the Twelve Kizuki, but strength can be increased, and Muzan Kibutsuji and the Twelve Kizuki can also be weakened."

Obanai Iguro's eyes narrowed slightly.

The expressions of the others also changed slightly.

Can our strength increase in a short period of time?

Kanroji Mitsuri couldn't help but ask.

Ron looked at Shinobu Kocho: "Do you remember the Crimson Blade and the Demon Slayer Mark I told you about before?"

Shinobu Kocho nodded blankly.

Ron calmly told him, "Once one person activates their mark, the swordsmen around them will gradually activate theirs as well. The Crimson Blade can also be quickly mastered by teaching techniques."

Shinobu's eyes gradually widened.

"Right now, Muzan Kibutsuji is sending demons to hunt down Tanjiro. If the lower-ranking demons die, the upper-ranking demons will probably show up too. It's not impossible to seize the opportunity and wipe out the lower-ranking upper-ranking demons."

As Ron spoke, he walked up to Kagaya Ubuyashiki, raised his right hand, and held it above Kagaya's head with his palm facing down.

Amidst the wide-eyed, stunned gazes of the pillars.

Strands of green light rained down from Ron's palms, landing on Kagaya Ubuyashiki's entire body, and the hideous scars on his face healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki, who had lost his sight due to a serious illness, felt a comfort he had never experienced before. His previously dark vision gradually became clearer as a glimmer of light appeared before him.

"This, this is...?"

Even someone as strong and composed as Kagaya Ubuyashiki felt as if he were in a dream, unable to believe the clear world before him.

Tokito Muichiro stared blankly at Ubuyashiki Kagaya: "Lord's injury... is healed?"

With his hands clasped together, tears streaming down his face, Beiming Island asked, "Is this a miracle?"

Uzui Tengen stared blankly and in shock at Ubuyashiki Kagaya, whose facial scars had completely disappeared and whose clear eyes were now wide open.

My lord, your injuries were so severe, yet they were healed in an instant?!

"It's unbelievable!"

Kyojuro Rengoku was utterly shocked.

Obanai Iguro rubbed his eyes, too shocked to speak.

Kanroji Mitsuri covered her gaping mouth with both hands, gazing at the young man in black with utmost reverence and admiration, and said, "God... Mr. Ron must be a god, right?!"

Shinobu Kocho stared blankly at the tall figure with his back to them.

As a pharmacist and poison master who was well-versed in pharmacology, what she was seeing was enough to overturn her worldview.

How could such power possibly exist in this world?

Ron withdrew his hand and casually said to Kagaya Ubuyashiki in front of him, "Although I can't completely cure your illness, I can restore your physical functions to what they were when you were a teenager, allowing you to live for another ten years or so."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki raised his head and looked up at the black-clad youth standing in front of him. His still-recovering eyesight was not enough to allow him to see Ron's face clearly; he could only see a blurry face and a pair of calm, clear blue eyes.

"Mr. Ron, who exactly are you?"

"You don't need to know this."

Ron picked up the flask and took a sip of wine:

"I just wanted to see an interesting battle with my own eyes. That's why I came to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters."

After saying that, Ron glanced at Kagaya Ubuyashiki: "I'm not treating you for free. I'll be staying at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters for a while, so consider this payment. Don't spread my story around. I hate being bothered. If you need to contact me, just have Shinobu let me know."

Finish this sentence.

Ron vanished in a flash.

Only the deeply shocked pillars remained.

……

Butterfly House.

Terauchi Kiyoshi, one of the nurses at the Butterfly Mansion and one of the three little girls with beady eyes, is smiling and humming a song as he airs out the blankets.

"Okay! Is that all? Xiaocheng, you're done..."

She turned to look at her companions, and as soon as she turned around, she saw a tall figure that had appeared behind her at some point.

"Ah ah!!!!"

"What happened?!"

Upon hearing the shout, Kanzaki Aoi, a nurse at the Butterfly Mansion wearing butterfly hair accessories and with her hair in pigtails, immediately rushed out of the house.

At a glance, she spotted Xiao Qing lying on the ground and the young man in black standing in front of her.

Her eyes narrowed instantly as she gripped the hilt of the Nichirin Blade at her waist.

"What did you do to Xiaoqing?!"

"What did I do? I don't think I did anything."

Ron, who appeared here using the Reincarnation Eye technique, was somewhat speechless.

Kanzaki Aoi ignored his explanation, leaped high into the air, and delivered a whip kick to the uninvited guest.

Although she is far inferior to Kanao, who is Shinobu Kocho's adopted daughter, she is also a member of the Demon Slayer Corps and has some combat abilities in addition to her nursing duties.

Ron's head to one side.

Kanzaki Aoi's kick missed instantly.

"what!"

Kanzaki Aoi's eyes narrowed slightly. After adjusting her body in mid-air and landing on the ground, she was still unwilling to give up. She stomped heavily on her foot and was about to draw her sword to attack that person when...

A figure appeared in front of Kanzaki Aoi, pressing down on her elbow as she drew her sword, preventing her Nichirin Blade from being unsheathed.

Kanzaki Aoi stared in surprise at Kanao, who had appeared before her, and exclaimed, "Kaao-sama?!"

"stop."

Kanao whispered to him, "This is Mr. Ron, Shinobu's...guest."

"Lady Butterfly's guest?!"

Kanzaki Aoi's eyes narrowed sharply as she looked in shock at Ron behind Kanao.
