Chapter 167 My elder brother said that life is a one-way street where you can't go back once yo
Chapter 167 My elder brother said that life is a one-way street where you can't go back once you start moving forward!
"What nonsense are you spouting?!"
"I'm not dead yet!!"
In the ruins of a collapsed building, a pair of strong arms pushed away the stones and timbers that were pressing down on them.
Ashura Doji glanced at the broken ordinary katana in his left hand, curled his lip, and tossed it aside.
He then gripped the greatsword in his right hand tightly with both hands.
"You're strong, but not strong enough for me to willingly admit defeat!"
"I am Asura Child, also known as 'Sake Heaven Pill'! State your name!"
Loki leaned against Ironhide, his left little finger picking at his teeth.
A short while later, he spat out a mouthful of saliva mixed with wild boar meat to the side.
"This is so annoying! Didn't I already introduce myself? You didn't even listen to me, did you?!"
"Besides, you're a bandit, aren't you? Bandits shouldn't speak so politely and obnoxiously, you bastard!"
Stand up straight, grasp the iron thunderbolt with your right hand and lift it gently.
"Sister-in-law, you heard it too. My brother told me to defeat them first before we discuss anything else."
"And this kind of villain... pfft."
"Do they think life is a grand voyage?"
"My older brother said that life is a one-way street where you can't go back once you start moving forward!"
"Murder and arson are murder and arson. How could those civilians say that these villains have changed after being subdued by the so-called daimyo?"
"So they've become a decent martial artist?"
Hahahaha!!
Loki wiped away the tears that had welled up from laughing.
"Don't be ridiculous. Do you think that if they turn over a new leaf, the civilians they killed will come back to life?"
"I absolutely do not approve of them!"
Conqueror's Haki erupted once again.
Loki looked solemn.
"My older brother told me,"
"There's no such thing as invaluable treasure in this world, nor is there any such thing as a prodigal son returning home!"
"A man makes a mistake, and that's it! But once he realizes it, he must hold his head high and move forward! That's what a man is!"
Loki, carrying a giant hammer, slowly walked towards Ashura Doji.
"Men are such creatures..."
"They are creatures who, even knowing how awful their past selves were, absolutely cannot turn back! A sudden realization or anything like that is enough to keep in their hearts!"
"And those guys who keep saying they've woken up are basically only thinking of themselves."
"When I was ten years old, I commanded giant beasts from the underworld to attack the mortal realm. I once beat and abused weak giant demons. I once set fire to a village!"
"That's right!"
"I'm a villain!!"
"I will never deny my past! But!"
"I've never killed those guys just because they were weak!!"
"Life is a battlefield, and men are warriors."
Bang--!!
He stomped his right foot forward, cracking the ground, and veins bulged on Loki's neck.
Tie Lei was firmly gripped by a pair of large hands and forcefully slammed down towards the short man in front of him.
"If powerful warriors bully unarmed civilians, even if they die in battle, the gods will not take them to heaven!!"
Ding~~~ Boom!
Ashura Doji, who was defending with his swords in both hands below, changed his expression drastically. He stood in a horse stance, his body trembling violently under the immense force of Loki's slam.
"Human, let me tell you, even villains have different levels!"
He raised the hammer, and before the enemy could catch his breath, he immediately brought it down.
"High-ranking villains will only challenge those who are stronger than themselves."
"And people like you, so lowly..."
"They can only bully powerless civilians."
"That kind of thing is the most boring thing."
Loki raised the hammer again, looking at the enemy he had smashed into the mud with disdain.
Armament Haki suddenly enveloped his right foot.
Lift it up and then stomp down hard.
The ground suddenly cracked open, and a figure wielding a knife rushed out from underground, slashing at Loki's feet.
"I have never denied my past."
The blade and the entangled, imposing shoes entered into a tug-of-war.
Ashura Doji's expression was ferocious: "I was indeed a wicked villain who committed all sorts of evil deeds in the past, but under the tutelage of Prince Oden, I have been completely transformed."
"If it weren't for me, do you think Oden Castle at the foot of the mountain could still maintain its current peace and tranquility?"
Upon hearing Ashura Child's words, Loki burst into laughter again.
"Do you think you're doing a great job?"
"You have no idea what it means to manage subordinates, so you can only be bandits. You landlubbers have no idea about men's romance and bottom line."
Under the strange gaze of Ashura Child, Loki took two steps back, put away his hammer, and showed no intention of continuing the fight.
"Aren't you going to fight anymore?"
Loki's eyes were full of pity.
"A man like you doesn't deserve to die under my iron thunder. You think you've restrained the bandits, but actually the bandits have restrained you."
Asura Child, stay here comfortably.
"As their leader and their king, no one should dare to contradict you; that is the true dignity of a king."
"That's just how my elder brother is."
"He's the best-tempered man in our Beasts Pirates crew, but when he gets angry, no one dares to touch his whiskers."
"This is the true king, and you, you're just spewing nonsense."
As Loki turned to leave, the bandits who had been watching from the sidelines were displeased.
In their view, this giant's constant babbling was actually a sign of his fear of their leader, Lord Shutenmaru.
"Shh~ All this nonsense is just because you're afraid of Lord Ashura Doji's sword!"
"That's right, that's right. If you're scared, then get out of here!"
Loki looked around. If it were his old self, he would have smashed this place to pieces.
But now, he only feels that these people are very pathetic.
"Ashura-doji, is this what you call managing subordinates?"
"Hahaha~~~"
"Let's go, Dorry, Brogy!"
"This guy doesn't deserve to be Sister-in-law's subordinate!"
Tian Yue Shi didn't say much, but looked around, his eyes filled with an indescribable pity and sorrow.
"Have the men of Wano Country really fallen to such a low level?"
"He has great courage and skill, but he doesn't use that power for good."
Ashura Child's expression was grim, but he didn't refute, "What do you know, you woman? We are the real men!"
"Those so-called nobles and aristocrats are still eating meat buns every day!"
Tianyue shook his head, sighed, and, under the protection of the giants, took the lead in heading out to the outside world.
"A true man should dedicate his body, strength, and mind to his country, and a truly ambitious person would never become a thief in the mountains for the sake of so-called freedom and the right to hate."
"The line between a real man and a coward is very thin. Once you take that step, you are no longer a coward."
Asura Child could take Loki's indignant words as a joke, but when that woman spoke those words in a calm tone...
Ashura Child suddenly felt extremely ashamed.
He was the coward the other side described.
"Loki is right, there is indeed nothing in this world that is priceless, but if you really want to stand tall and upright..."
"Why bother about what others think? Once this country has truly improved, you can quietly retreat to the mountains. Consider what you've done as atonement for your past sins, but your actions have done nothing to benefit the country beneath your feet."
The giant escorted the woman the bandits had mentioned away, and Enel, who had just stepped through the door, froze.
"Huh? Are we going down the mountain so soon? Aren't we having dinner here?"
"Eat my ass, I have no appetite in a place like this."
Loki walked past Enel.
"After Enel, this place is a stinking garbage dump! A bunch of trash who only know how to bully the weak, you bastards!"
The signboard of "The Land of Extreme Evil - Shutenmaru" lying on the ground was spit out even more saliva.
Enel curiously peered into the courtyard.
"The damage is really severe."
"Hey, kid." Ashura Doji called out to Enel.
"Are you from that Beasts Pirates?"
Enel, carrying the giant rock, stopped in his tracks and turned around with difficulty.
"That's right, if it's about compensation—"
Ashura Child interrupted, "That giant, the one with horns, who is the elder brother he's talking about?"
Enel's expression turned strange: "You're not thinking of challenging Brother Bazel, are you?"
"If you want to die, it would be easier to just jump off from here. Big Brother isn't a man you can just challenge casually. Oh, wait, I mean..."
"If those guys knew you wanted to challenge Big Brother, they'd definitely think you were looking down on him."
"You'll probably be chopped into mincemeat before you even see your brother."
Asura Child seemed not to hear, his head slightly lowered, and asked:
"What kind of man is he?"
"You asked me what kind of person I am—"
Enel scratched his head, called out to Loki and the others who were urging him to hurry up, and then answered hastily.
"That really stumped me!"
"In my opinion, my older brother is a real man."
"He is a true man who keeps his word; the things he says are never just simple platitudes."
"He is putting his words into practice through his actions."
