Chapter 258: First Confrontation

The people who were in this place were the pillars for each of the respective Breath Styles. Everyone in this place was the strongest member of the Demon Slayer Corps. They were angry when this guy who came out of nowhere suddenly taunted them telling them weak.

Even the calmest thing from all of them was also angry.

"Oyakata-sama, let me teach this insolent lesson."

Kagaya raised his hand to stop them.

They stopped reluctantly since all of them were respecting him.

"So all of them are weak?" Kagaya asked.

"Yes," Haru nodded but he suddenly pulled by both Gintoki and Korosensei.

"What the hell, are you saying?!" Gintoki and Korosensei were startled by his words.

"It isn't wrong, right? They're weak compared to most of the people that we have faced before," Haru said.

Gintoki and Korosensei wanted to refute it but they couldn't.

The Demon Slaying Corps is just a normal human with an athletic body and a powerful sword technique. Even though they are powerful but in front of people who have a speed of 20 mach and someone who can summon a meteorite to the earth then without a doubt all of them are quite weak.

"Believe in me," Haru said.

Gintoki and Korosensei were helpless and rice had turned into a porridge worst case they only needed to fight them to show their power.

Haru looked at them and said, "I know that all of you are angry but that is my honest opinion when I see all of you here."

"So do you believe that you can beat them easily?" Kagaya asked.

"Yes," Haru nodded.

Kagaya looked at Shinobu who was by their side and didn't say anything. He thought that their strength was powerful and that made her unable to refute, 'Their strength is a real deal?'

That is where he is wrong.

Shinobu only wanted to see him being beaten up by every pillar in the Demon Slaying Corps and that was why she didn't say anything. She wasn't sure about their power well but in she was sure that no one would be able to defeat the octopus since that guy speed was just too fast.

"Shinobu, why are you not saying anything? They're talking bad about us!" One of them said since he was pretty angry that she didn't say anything.

"If you're angry why not have a duel with him?" Shinobu said and asked, "Oyakata-sama, is that okay?"

Kagaya nodded, "I believe that we need to understand each other's strength before we can continue our discussion."

"That's true, it isn't going to be worth it when your ally is too weak," Haru nodded and said, "That's why, Gin-san, go and greet them." He pushed him to the front.

"Eh? Me?" Gintoki was startled.

"Yes, you're the only one that hasn't done anything," Haru said.

"That's right, I've killed the demon before, you're only sleeping and eating most of the time, you lazy bum," Korosensei said.

"Go! Go! Go!" Haru and Korosensei pushed him to the front.

"W - Wait! I'm not ready! I'm pretty weak!" Gintoki complained but both of them ignored him.

"You've talked bad about us earlier, let's see whether your strength can match up your mouth."

The one who said those words were the Wind Pillar of the Demon Slaying Corps.

His name is Sanemi Shinazugawa. He is a tall, muscular, and slender man with spiky white hair and large eyes. His face and body are covered in scars, accrued over his many years of fighting demons.

This guy is few centimeters taller than Gintoki and his muscle is quite intimidating compared to the flab that has been acc.u.mulated by Gintoki for the past few years eating a lot of sweets.

"Gin-san! You can win!" Haru said.

"Go! Go! Go! Gin-san!" Korosensei created a large banner while swinging it around.

"What is this? Is this a school sports festival? Are you trying to bully me?" Gintoki complained.

Both of them were pretty loud and made a serious situation very strange.

The people who watched them felt weird since they guy that had been provoking them showing such a side to them.

"Fufufu, you sure are having fun," Kagaya chuckled.

"...." They were also speechless when they saw their boss chuckled.

"Why don't you guys encourage your comrades too?" Kagaya asked.

They looked at each other and nodded.

"Win it, Shinazugawa!"

"I'll treat you to something when you win!"

"Win it or I'll shave you bald!"

Shinazugawa became annoyed, "Shut up, bastard!"

They didn't listen to him and kept cheering for him.

"It seems that both of us have been forced into this situation," Gintoki said.

"Yeah, but I'll win this match," Shinazugawa said.

"Sure, you can win it," Gintoki nodded since he was pretty lazy.

Shinazugawa frowned, "Are you mocking me bastard?"

"Mocking? Of course not," Gintoki thought that the guy in front of him had quite a difficult personality.

"What's that expression? Do you think that I'll lose to you? Damn! Let's start this as soon as possible!" Shinazugawa said and took out his sword, "Let's do it."

Gintoki sighed and took out his wooden sword.

Veins appeared on his forehead, "Dammit! Take out your sword!"

"My sword can only be seen by my wife," Gintoki said.

Shinazugawa took a deep breath and showed anger, "Don't blame me when you've died!" He dashed very fast and closed the distance between the two of them.

"First Style: Dust Whirlwind Cutter!"

Shinazugawa swung his sword and created a cyclone of slashes.

'He is done.'

That was the opinion of the other Pillars when they saw their battle but they were surprised when they saw him kick Shinazugawa away.

BAAAM!!

Gintoki's kick was very powerful and made Shinazugawa move back a few meters.

"Oi! Oi! Don't cut my kimono. I've only brought seven pieces of it," Gintoki said with a bit of a panicked expression after he saw a cut on his kimono. He didn't want to wear other clothes since it would destroy his image.

"....."

"I'll kill you!" Shinazugawa said and dashed forward again to attack Gintoki.
