One Piece's Bizzare Adventure - Chapter 40
The crescent moon was hanging high in he sky.
Wisteria flowers swayed in the wind.
Kamado Tanjiro climbed the stairs of the shrine with a determined gaze on his face.
In front of the shrine, people gather.
Some have stern expressions, not showing any signs of laughter; others have gentle expressions.
“So many people.”
Tanjiro took a deep breath, nervously gripping the hilt of his sword.
At this moment, two girls wearing kimonos and purple hair ornaments step out of the shrine.
They speak softly in an unhurried tone, “Thank you all for attending the final selection of the Demon Slayer Corps tonight.”
“Within this MountFujikasane, lurks the demons captured by the Demon Slayers.”
“However, the demons cannot leave.”
“Because this mountain is riddled with wisteria flowers blooming all year round, which the demons detest.”
“But beyond this point, there are no more wisteria flowers, and demons may appear.”
“Surviving for seven days is the requirement for passing the final selection.”
The two girls bowed slightly.
“So, please take care on your journey.”
One hour later, within Mount Fujikasane.
Creak.
The door opened wide.
A tall, black-haired youth walked out from thing.
As he observed the surroundings, he frowned.
“Where is this?”
The moon was dark, the wind was strong, and the mist was thick.
Clearly not a friendly place!
The youth didn’t act rashly, and magically pulled out a long sword out of thin air.
The newcomer was Jon.
Having spent more than ten days at home, the Joestar blood within him urged him to once again open the Interdimensional Gate and found himself in a completely new world.
Jon pondered to himself, “Firstly, I need to figure out where I am, and then make the next plan.”
Just as he was thinking, there was a rustling sound behind him in the thicket.
Before long, a thin and hideous demon with a long tongue jumps out.
“Huh, my luck is really—”
Before the word “bad” could be spoken, Jon swung his sword.
Color of Arms Haki and Overdrive-enhanced Atomic Slash!
The shadows of sword filled the sky.
The long-tongued demon instantly perished, turning into flying ashes.
“So weak.”
Jon sneered disdainfully.
What exactly was that thing just now?
He recalled the appearance of the monster.
Long tongue, pale complexion.
That thing swayed its head like the golden-haired vampire, Dio.
“Help! Is there anyone who can save me!”
Suddenly, Jon heard a cry for help.
He looked up abruptly.
After using his Observation Haki to sense the surrounding, he stepped into the “Inner World” and disappeared in an instant.
“Help! Is there anyone who can save me!”
As Jubei cries out, he runs frantically along the pitch-black mountain path.
Behind him, a wicked creature approaches!
A demon four or five meters tall closely follows, staring at the terrified boy as if toying with him.
Dozens of arms tightly entwined around the demon’s body eerily extend, and in the blink of an eye, they grab Jubei’s leg.
The boy screamed desperately.
Suddenly, an agile figure rushes out from the side of the road!
“Water Breathing Second Form. Water Wheel!”
Surrounded by waves, he flashed by.
The arms grabbing Jubei’s leg was lopped off!
“Gigigi, here comes my lovely fox cub again.”
Seeing the fox mask worn by the figure, the cross-shaped pupils of the demon revealed a manical and vengeful expression.
“Again?”
Tanjiro catches the key point in the opponent’s words.
“Fox cub, what year is it in the Meiji we?” the demon asked.
Tanjiro tightly gripped the hilt of his sword with both hands.
“It’s the Taisho era now!”
“Taisho?”
Hearing this, the demon became agitated for some reason.
“The era! The era has changed! While I’m trapped in a place like this, the era has changed again! Unforgivable! Unforgivable!”
“Damn it, Urokodaki! Damn it! Damn it!”
Tanjiro shielded Jubei without changing his expression and said in a deep voice, “How do you know Mr. Sakonji?”
“Of course, I know, because it was Urokodaki who captured me and left me in his damned place forty-seven years ago!”
Jubei was shocked and pale, “Impossible! The demons imprisoned here should only be demons that have only eaten two or three people! How could—”
“Because I survived through my hatred of Urokodaki. Let’s see, I’ve probably eaten about fifty kids like you.”
The demon pointed at Tanjiro.
“And you, you’re the fourteenth disciple of Urokodaki that I will eat.”
“Gigigi, I’ve long decided to kill anyone related to that guy.”
Tanjiro was too stunned to speak.
The demon continued reminiscing, “The ones that left the most impression on me should be those two. One is a kid with a unique hair color, and a scar near his mouth. The other is a girl in a kimono with flower patterns. Although she’s small and weak, she’s quite agile.”
Tanjiro’s eyes instantly widened.
The two people described by the demon were exactly the same as the partners he trained with for two years.
Could it be? Just as Tanjiro was about to ask, a tall black-haired youth appeared out of thin air and punched the demon!
Boom!!!! The four or five meters tall demon was sent flying out of nowhere.
It roared, breaking more than ten trees before stopping!
The atmosphere became silent.
Jon turned around and looks at the puzzled “Hey, are you here to chat with him or to kill him?”
“I…”
Tanjiro was speechless.
Jon shook his head and looked at the system.

“Demon Slayer”
Jon was very familiar with this world.
Looking at the demon slowly standing up in the distance, his breathing rhythm changed abruptly, and countless golden arcs emanated from his body. “I’ll demonstrate once for you, watch closely and learn well.”
With that, Jon exerted force with his legs and instantly appears in front of the demon.
The demon was startled and quickly uses its thick arms to protect its only weakness—its neck.
You think you can take me down with seventeen arms?
If you can take me down, I’ll chew up this Nichirin Sword!
Jon raised an eyebrow.
I was planning to give you a quick death.
Since you showed no respect, don’t blame me for being merciless!
He abandoned his sword and threw punches.
A golden light shone brightly, illuminating the dark night as if it were day! Ora ora ora ora ora!
One inch, two inches, three inches. The demon couldn’t believe its body was disintegrating because of Jon’s punches.
Can this even be possible? Far away, Tanjiro and Jubei were completely dumbfounded.
Their belief have been shaken to the core.
Wait, why weren’t you using a sword to kill demons?
