'My son and now my master, has appointed me to lead the red light district, and I have fulfilled perfectly the role in which I was entrusted.'

'I have become the great madame of that district, and the business is also in my hands.'

'After all the brothels were under my control, I began to spread them throughout Japan.'

'With this we created an information network that covers the whole of Japan, but there was something missing.'

'We had to create something that called more public, and so the casinos were created, in addition to expanding our sources of information.'

'A constant means of raising money was created, so my area began to gain a lot of importance, and for my excellent services I am here now.'

Mikoto was suddenly pulled into a wormhole in the blink of an eye, she was facing her son.

Muzan smiled and said, "mother, you accomplished your mission with excellence, you accomplished beyond what I commanded."

"I respect that very much, you were the only one who didn't conform and always tried ways to improve your mission, even if it was already finished".

"I see your merit, so you are here today, I will give you your reward for your actions."

Mikoto smiled at his son and said, "I never did this thinking of a reward, a mother will always do the best she can, whether or not, for her children".

Muzan placed his hand on mikoto's neck, and one of his fingers pierced one of his arteries, muzan began to pump his blood into mikoto.

Muzan seeing his mother praying said, "I hope you survive, you are the only thing left of humanity in my heart".

Hiruko was facing muzan and said, "Muzan-sama, the soul transfer search was a success, but it seems that the memories of the soul that was inserted end up being lost".

Muzan indifferently replied, "no problem with that, it can be considered a success, even I didn't expect you to make so much progress".

"Now most importantly, I want you to find a way to fragmenta soul and transfer these fragments to various clones".

Animated hiruko replied "what a great Muzan-sama idea, with a method for fragmenting a soul and applying these fragments to other bodies, would be possible to possess it more easily when the main body was destroyed".

Muzan agreed and said, "what I plan and puting 12 fragments in each of you, besides being a safer measure, these fragments would increase your powers considerably".

Muzan took a cup and put an amount of his blood into it, "take it, I want you to create a clone of me out of it".

Hiruko bowed down is gone.

(Pov - Garou)

'I was the only upper moon that had no assigned task, muzan just told me to get stronger'.

'Throughout these years I looked for strong opponents, samurai, martial artists, but they were all very weak'.

'So I went to Fugaku in search of some sparrings, although my strength improved, it wasn't a big jump, but everything changed when I noticed the peculiar style of Fugaku breathing.'

'I tried to replicate, but I could not, in my pilgrimage I have always been in contact with nature, observing the animals and the wild life'.

'At a certain point I observed a Wolf sneaking close to a rabbit, until within seconds the Wolf held its breath.'

'In a burst of speed the Wolf grabbed the rabbit by the neck, and released the breath, in return the rabbit's breathing decreased '.

Garou replicated this moment in his breathing, as a Wolf ready for hunting said, "Wolf breathing - first form".

The difference is that to use the first form, garou did not use swords but the body itself that now replicated the moment of lobo's explosion.

Garou was wandering through Japan, until on his journey he heard stories about an invincible swordsman, and now he was hunting this samurai.

Garou arrived in an area where a large audience was watching a duel, in the center there were two men, until one of them quickly decapitated the other.

Garou felt his blood boil because he had finally found an opponent to height.

Garou walked up to the man is said, "samurai, what's your name?".

The man turned to garou and replied, "I am Miyamoto Musashi, why did an oni come to me?".

Garou smiled and said, "then you know what I am, that makes everything more interesting, I seek strong opponents, you seem decent to me, I want to challenge you to a duel".

Musashi with an indifferent expression replied, "I accept, but where is your sword?".

Garou pointed to his fists and said, "these are my weapons, don't worry, I'm an excellent martial artist, although fighting a swordsman can be a disadvantage".

"You are also at a disadvantage regarding my healing and endurance, if I don't have some disadvantages, the fight wouldn't be interesting."

Miyamoto Musashi drew his sword and said, "let's get started."

Garou delivers a sequence of fluid blows at high speed, but musashi just deviates and tries to find a breach to deliver a blow.

Musashi at high speed uses his style [niten ichi ryu], a sword swing and garou's arm was pulled out.

Garou retreats and looks at the spot where his arm has been cut, he smiles and in a matter of seconds his arm has been recovered, showing Musashi the amazing regeneration capacity of oni.

Garou observes Musashi and says, "to be able to counterattack at the right time and still tear off my arm, you have my Miyamoto Musashi respects, and it's a pity you're a human".

"But I give you the chance, what do you think of becoming an oni? , you could train for all eternity, you would be much stronger".

Musashi makes a gesture of refusal, "I do not seek eternal life, life only has value because of death, death and what we make live to the fullest and value each day".

Garou was visibly irritated by the refusal and replied, "what a pity Musashi, we could fight forever, it's not easy to find someone strong".

"Miyamoto Musashi, if you don't want to become an oni, the only alternative is to kill him".

Garou enters the battle position and says, "[technique development, destructive death: compass needle]".

A large blue stripe appears under his feet, and at high speed garou advances towards Musashi.

Miyamoto musashi uses his niten ichi ryu style to accompany garou, as they trade blows in the air.

Garou begins to use fluid movements as her hands begin to gain a blue hue.

[water stream rock smashing fist]

Miyamoto musashi strays as he speaks, "I will show you the true meaning of the niten style ichi ryu".

Musashi appears with another sword in his hands, and adapts his posture to the style of two swords to defend himself from Garou's techniques.

Musashi approaches Garou by using his two swords to make a double cut that tears off garou's two arms.

Garou scored a revolving kick at Musashi, who threw him a few meters away.

That span of time was enough for garou to recover his arms and observing Musashi's situation he said, "no matter what you do, your body will not stand all these wounds".

Musashi had some broken ribs and coughed some blood, "it doesn't matter, I'm going to beat faster than you think".

Musashi moves at high speed delivering an impressive amount of strokes, but garou deviates using his fluid movements.

Garou notes that his opponent has no intention of becoming an oni, and decides to end it at once.

[Wolf breathing - first form]

Garou's nails are stretched in the shape of claws, and these high-speed claws cut through the neck of Miyamoto Musashi.

Musashi is surprised why he did not expect this attack, he struggled to speak but his vocal cords were destroyed in the attack.

Garou observed his opponent losing the light he had in his eyes and replied, "pathetic, what's so interesting about remaining human".

Garou approached Miyamoto Musashi and devoured him completely.
