Chapter 208 - Going to Southern Island (2/2)

”I trained with my grandfather once more to throw myself into the world of Martial arts, ad rediscovering myself in the process” stated Kaname as she twirled her staff around, ”After what Ryozanpaku's weapons master had said, I followed her advice and became master of my own body with my staff as a true extension of my body.”

”This is the perfect opportunity to spread the word of combat sumo!” exclaimed Thor, ”As a martial artist, I cannot let this chance get away!”

”This is one of the biggest events in the world of martial arts! How could I know about it and not want to come!?” cheered Renka, ”I am going to show the world what the phoenix Alliance can do!”

I got information that my master may be on that island. I am going to drag him back home to have him finish up training me. Plus Kaede also wants to meet him” said Natsu shrugging his shoulders.

That's all and good reasons, but first, how did you even get to know about D of D and the second thing is the D of D is an invitation exclusive offer. If you wanted to fight, you would have to prove in some way that you are directly under Ryozanpaku. Only my daughter, my brothers' disciple and Ukita who's Akisame's disciple could have any standing on that” frowned Kensei ”Just saying your group is allied with us gives no real standings”

”KEKEKEKE I have the answer for both things right here” cackled Niijima.

”Oh? Then what is it!?” asked Akisame

”Because yours truly, the Shinpaku Alliance have been invited to the D of D” cackled Niijima as he pulled out an invite with the Shinpaku Alliance's name on it. Everyone's jaw dropped as they saw the legitimate invite, complete with Diego's signature.

”HOW!?” was the question ringing through everyone's mind except Apachai who was just clapping.

”We earned enough rep to get his attention” giggled Niijima, ”With the defeat of the Zanshin Taisha Ryu and Spark of Yomi, not to mention Ogata mentioning our name with Kenichi's, I am guessing Diego Carlo thought we were entertainment material.”

”Not to mention after continues investments The Shinpaku Alliance is quite rich” Niijima added mentally

”So you gonna take us to the island with you?” grinned Niijima.

Elder Hayato closed his eyes taking a deep breath while he did so. After what seemed to be hours when in reality was just a few minutes, Elder Hayato opened his eyes once more.

He jumped over all of them, standing in front of the boat now. He then raised his hand up, having it positioned knife-hand strike and slashed the ground instantly there, was a line in between The Shinpaku Alliance and the boat.

”Please understand that during this time, we will not be able to protect you all... However, if you are determined to come, step forth beyond this line. Come if you are not afraid of what lies beyond this point.”
