)
Hina was playing with Ginto.
They were playing pirates—Ginto as the enemy, and Hina as the hero.
Hina suddenly sat down and said:
"I wish I were a real pirate…"
Ginto smiled and replied:
"You already are, little one. I'd love to see you in pirate clothes."
Raigo interrupted them:
"You can't be pirates! Pirates are strong and cruel… and they wear eye patches. Don't ask me why, but you have to wear one to be a pirate."
Ginto laughed:
"Raigo, please! Let us be pirates for just one day!"
Raigo replied firmly:
"No."
Both Hina and Ginto begged him, wanting to live the life of pirates for a day.
Raigo refused completely…
Until Kaito stepped in, calm as always:
"Why so stubborn, Raigo? They need you. Their enemies will be strong, and we don't have anyone as powerful as you to protect us."
Raigo paused… then agreed.
Hina and Ginto jumped with joy.
Kaito and Raigo built a ship, while Ginto and Hina played with wooden swords.
Ginto said nervously:
"Isn't this a bit dangerous?"
Hina ignored him and said proudly:
"Are you scared? I'm the strongest pirate in this world!"
Ginto grinned:
"No, I'm the strongest pirate!"
They continued playing.
Kaito finished building the ship and sat down to read a book.
Suddenly—
A sword flew toward him at high speed.
Without even looking, he caught it.
"Ginto… Hina… who threw this?"
Both of them stayed silent. Ginto's hand was empty—he had thrown it by accident.
Raigo said:
"Get ready. We're leaving now."
Hina and Ginto shouted:
"We're going to be pirates!!"
They boarded the ship.
Ginto asked:
"Where's Raigo?"
Suddenly, the ship lifted into the air—
Raigo was carrying it.
He threw it toward the sea and jumped after it with incredible force.
Moments later, he landed on it… and they began sailing.
While sailing, Kaito was observing quietly.
Raigo steered the ship, while Hina and Ginto played.
Ginto suddenly looked back:
"Hey… some people are playing pirates with us!"
Kaito opened his eyes:
"They're not playing… they are real pirates."
Raigo turned sharply and shouted:
"Fire the cannons now!!"
Ginto struggled to load a cannonball and fired.
But the enemy ship wasn't affected.
Their armor was strange… almost unbreakable.
They attacked—
But Kaito moved swiftly, cutting them all down.
More soldiers appeared, firing arrows—
Kaito dodged effortlessly.
Then suddenly, they all stopped.
A large man in golden armor appeared—clearly their leader.
He said firmly:
"Samurai… you're making a mistake. Our armor is made of adamantium—the strongest metal."
He attacked—
But with a single punch, his armor shattered.
He was thrown off the ship.
Raigo stood there.
"Don't mess with my friend, Kaito. Understood?"
Then he added:
"Now… hand over your supplies."
They surrendered immediately and fled.
Hina said:
"They don't look like the pirates in the manga…"
Ginto replied casually:
"Maybe they're… evolved pirates?"
Kaito frowned:
"Raigo… let's return home immediately."
Hina said sadly:
"But we didn't find the treasure…"
Kaito replied:
"We'll find something greater."
Raigo sighed:
"Good. I'm tired of staring at this boring blue sea."
They turned back.
Later, Hina walked beside Kaito.
"Are you sure about that feeling?"
Kaito replied:
"We samurai can sense each other… it's like a form of communication."
She asked:
"What did you feel?"
He hesitated:
"M-my grandfather… I think… he's about to die."
They arrived.
Kaito rushed inside.
His grandfather was lying on the ground, surrounded by the samurai.
Renso shouted angrily:
"Why are you so late?!"
He threw a small knife—Kaito caught it.
The grandfather smiled weakly:
"My grandchildren… I always wanted to see you strong… able to defeat any enemy…"
Tears fell from his eyes.
"I'm sorry… I sold you to that evil man, Jith… I had no choice…"
He continued:
"I hid a scroll… one that multiplies power… but only someone pure of heart can use it… someone who follows the honor of a samurai…"
He struggled to breathe.
"Promise me… you will become strong…"
And then… he died.
Everyone cried.
Hina said innocently:
"The grandpa was kind…"
Renso shouted:
"Who is this girl?! Why is she here?!"
Rin stepped in:
"She's just a child, calm down."
Hashk said sadly:
"Hashk is sad… Hashk lost everything…"
After that, they all agreed:
"Whoever finds the scroll… deserves it."
But Renso refused:
"I will be the one to find it."
The search began.
Later, Rin was walking alone.
Suddenly—she sensed danger.
Ninjas appeared and attacked her.
She fought back quickly.
Then—
Their leader appeared.
It was Renso.
"Renso… why are you with the ninjas?!"
He shouted:
"I will get the scroll!"
Rin replied:
"Grandfather told us to find it—not fight!"
Renso snapped:
"I don't care about that old man!!"
Rin was shocked:
"He loved you more than anyone!"
Renso shouted, breaking down:
"No one loved me! No one cared! You all ignored me… even you… you loved Kaito!"
He ordered:
"Kill her."
The ninjas attacked.
Rin fought… but she was overwhelmed.
She was stabbed… and collapsed.
Suddenly—
Enemies were thrown aside.
Raigo appeared.
Ginto and Kaito joined.
The ninjas fled.
Hina gave Rin bandages:
"Treat your wound…"
Rin said weakly:
"It was… Renso…"
Kaito froze:
"No… that's impossible…"
They continued searching.
They found Hashk injured.
"Renso did this…"
Kaito clenched his fists:
"I won't let him get the scroll…"
Finally—they found it.
A structure rose like a pyramid… with the scroll at the top.
But—
Renso appeared.
"Thanks for doing the hard work for me."
The battle began.
Ninjas surrounded them.
Raigo shouted:
"I'll handle them! Kaito—fight him!"
Kaito and Renso clashed in a fierce sword battle.
Suddenly—
Hina touched the scroll.
Her eyes turned white.
She lost control.
With one strike—she defeated Kaito and Renso.
Even Raigo was thrown back.
She wiped out all enemies instantly.
But her power faded.
She returned to normal.
Renso grabbed the scroll.
His eyes turned white.
"I'm the strongest samurai now!!"
No one could stop him.
Raigo stepped forward in rage:
"You hurt my friends?!"
He attacked violently, overpowering Renso.
Then suddenly—
Hina cried and hugged Kaito.
The energy transferred to him.
Kaito's eyes turned white.
He moved at incredible speed.
The final battle began.
After a fierce fight—
Kaito defeated Renso.
Renso shouted:
"Kill me! You won!"
Kaito extended his hand:
"I can't… we're still friends."
Renso turned away and left.
They returned home.
Raigo said proudly:
"Well done, Kaito. You fulfilled your grandfather's wish."
Kaito replied quietly:
"…Almost."
