17 S***** K****** (2/2)

Even Nate and Rin where surprised seeing that attack, him and his blade seemed to have duplicated as it slashed into six different directions almost simultaneously. Nate was shocked because of the name of the technique reminded him of something.

”Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū : Iai!” the man seemed to have initiated another attack as he attacked at the remaining three marines from a distance. He slashed his blade which released a wave of blue light shaped like a crescent, before the terrified trio could react they were bisected in two.

The entire crowd stood there in shock as they watched the man walk away from the corpses of the marines while sheathing his blade. Seeing him walking away, Nate separated from the crowd and followed him along with Rin. The crowd panicked and dispersed worrying that they might end up getting caught under the rage of the marines when they hear about this news.

After following him for few minutes Nate noticed him turning into an alley way and knew that he must have noticed them following him. Nate and Rin looked at each other and they followed the man into the alley way, as they walked in deeper they saw him standing while staring at them with blade ready to be drawn.

”Hey there!!! Please calm down.. We are not here to fight.” said Nate peacefully as he raised his hands.

”Then why would you be following me?!” asked the man perplexed.

”I saw you fight with the Marines earlier and was impressed by your skills.” said Nate

”Thank you for the complement.. But that doesn't explain why you would be following me.” said the man still suspicious

”I wanted to invite you to my crew.” said Nate as he introduced himself and Rin ”My name is Nate D.Walker by the way. And this here is my crew mate and friend Rin.”

”Crew?! As in a pirate crew??” questioned the man.

”Yes we are part of a pirate crew, I am the captain and she is the navigator.” said Nate while pointing towards Rin. ”By the way you have introduced yourself yet.”

”Forgive me.. My name is Sasaki Kenshin.” said the man while wondering about the two in front of him.
