Exploded by lightning!

The exploding thunder cut off the strong wind and dispersed the rain curtain, as if it shattered the surrounding space! The dazzling thunder light enveloped Ogata and Toyotomi!

Obviously this thunder light is only fleeting, but the roar of thunder seems to be solidified between heaven and earth, in the wreckage of the ship's hull, on the vast sea, and under the sky for a long time!

The thunder light gradually dissipated, and the strong wind and rain curtain that had been cut off and dispersed were reconnected, making the space return to peace.

Under the dissipated thunder light, Ogata maintained his sword-drawing posture and fell steadily back to the deck of the shipwreck.

The clothing on his right arm has disappeared.

There weren't even any scraps left, it was torn apart by the thunder that just exploded and "evaporated".

The Daishetian in Ogata's right palm and the skin of his entire right arm turned as black as coal.

There was even a faint trace of heat, and heat waves steamed out from his right arm.

And behind him is a piece of... human-shaped "charcoal".

This human-shaped piece of "coke" is none other than Toyotomi.

At this time, he was lying on his back.

Every piece of skin on his body from head to toe was now burned into strange "charcoal".

Needless to say, clothes and other items have been turned into countless scraps.

The face was also carbonized, making it impossible to distinguish its facial features.

Even if someone who knew Toyotomi best came here now, he probably wouldn't be able to recognize that this piece of "coke" was Toyotomi Nobhide.

His right hand is still holding the Jiguang bone food.

Under the lightning strike just now, there was no way that Yoshimitsu Koushi could have survived.

The Yoshimitsu Koshoku held in Toyotomi's right palm only had a hilt left.

The blade has been broken into countless pieces and scattered everywhere.

Ogata stood up slowly, turned his head, and looked at the charred Toyotomi behind him expressionlessly.

"Cough, cough cough..."

When Ogata glanced at "Coke", "Coke"'s chest suddenly rose and fell in small increments.

Immediately afterwards, faint breathing and a low cough came out from where the mouth used to be.

"Ogata...Ittosai..."

The part of "Charcoal"'s cheek suddenly lit up with two slightly turbid white lights. It turned out that Toyotomi slowly opened his eyes.

Toyotomi raised his eyelids hard, pulled his eyes back, and cast his turbid eyes on Ogata, who was looking at him expressionlessly.

"Haha...hahahahahaha..."

Ogata saw the corners of Toyotomi's mouth turning up slightly.

At this moment, some strands of flesh can be seen emerging from every corner of Toyotomi's body, trying to repair this broken body.

However, these shreds of meat seemed to be powerless against the body that had been roasted into charcoal by the thunder.

I could see them twisting there, but I couldn't see them making Toyotomi's body recover even a little bit.

"It's really...yours..."

"Hahahaha... even the... thunder from the sky... can be used by you..."

Ogata ignored Toyotomi's praise.

"...You finally...fell." He said, "If you think about it carefully, it seems that we were already fighting each other a long time ago."

"Whether you are in Butterfly Island, Kyoto, Edo, or Osaka, you can always meet the Toyotomi clan."

"Even in Ezo, you can see the firearms you gave to the Red Moon Fortress for unknown reasons, as well as the pirates who were favored by you."

"Huh ha ha ha... Red Moon Fortress... I really miss it..." Toyotomi laughed so hard that his shoulders were shaking, shaking off a lot of burnt black powder, "Although... a long time has passed... but

I still remember... that fortress Ezo..."

"Humph hahahaha... I know that the Edo shogunate... will not tolerate... the presence of such a... force in Ezo land... sooner or later they will take action against the Ezo people in this fortress..."

"So I gave them a batch of...firearms...for almost free...and taught them...how to use..."

"The purpose is... to allow them to shed as much blood as possible... when a war breaks out with the Edo shogunate in the future..."

"But... some people in the fortress... thought I was a good person... and gave them so many... powerful weapons..."

"Huh hahahaha... Barbarians are indeed barbarians... they are just barbarians..."

"Yeah...I remembered..."

"When I learned that you defeated the shogunate's army in... Ezo Land... I even... praised you in front of my subordinates... I praised you for helping us greatly weaken the strength of the shogunate... hahahaha

Ha ha……!"

"Toyotomi and Tokugawa... have become... the defeated generals of a ronin... hahahahaha...! Your sword... can be considered genuine... the most unparalleled sword in the world..."

"I...can't help but become curious..."

"Is there any chance in the future... that there will be another swordsman... who can surpass you...?"

"Even if it appears... you won't have the chance to see it again." Ogata said calmly.

After saying that, he raised his right arm and Da Shitian, both of which had turned into burnt black, above his head again.

"Toyotomi Nobuhide, please put an end to this... long struggle for us."

"Hmm hahahahaha..."

Toyotomi... smiled again.

"There is no chance to see a swordsman who has surpassed you appear again, and there is no chance to see the world become more interesting..."

"What a pity...!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Toyotomi, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly raised his right arm and stabbed Ogata's leg with the Yoshimitsu Kushoku that only had a hilt left in his right hand!

The body that had been roasted into charcoal and the sword that had no edge naturally couldn't inflict any more wounds on Ogata, and it couldn't even break Ogata's skin.

However... after Toyotomi waved the handle of the knife and "cut" Nakaogata's leg, he saw him letting out a low laugh.

"Huh ha ha ha ha ha..."

Even though his body was in this state, Ogata could still see Toyotomi's cheeks, and there was another hint of... a maniacal smile.

"Ah... I hit you again..." Toyotomi laughed so much that a lot of black debris shook off his body.

Buzz!

The Great Release Heaven swung down heavily.

The head with a smile that never seemed to fade rolled down.

call……

At this time, a breeze came.

A piece of cloth slowly fell from the clouds as the breeze blew.

It was the haori embroidered with "Taiko Kiriha" that Toyotomi had just torn apart and thrown away.

I saw this feather fabric embroidered with "Taiko Paulownia" fluttering leisurely in the breeze. In just a moment, it fell back to the broken shipwreck.

Something that fell into...the shipwreck was still burning on the flames.

In just a blink of an eye, the ferocious tongues of fire wrapped and licked the falling "Taiko Tung Leaf". In just a blink of an eye, the fire waves tightly wrapped the "Taige Tung Leaf".

Swallowed by the waves of fire, the "Taiko Tung Leaf" slowly became smaller and finally turned into a handful of tiny ashes, which were blown away by the breeze and fell into the ink-like sea water.

No trace was seen again.

*******

For a madman like Toyotomi Nobuhide, what kind of ending should be given to him?

Talking rubbish wildly? Saying "I'm still a hero after 18 years"? Showing resilience like Yoshihisa?

The author thought about it and finally found that it was the most suitable ending for this madman to make him laugh, deliver the final blow to Ogata, and say with a smile, "Ah... I hit you again...".

【!!!Major Announcement!!!】

The author has decided! The new book will be released on April 18th (Monday)!

In other words, there is a countdown of 2 days until the release of the new book!

I feel so excited and so lonely... I finally have to say goodbye to everyone with this book.
