The Power Path Part V

"What kind of element was that you used?" asked Asahi.

"Element?" Yellowbeard questioned and reached for his weapon. Two short metal barrels were fixed to wood. He inserted several iron pellets from where the handle met the metal, then poured gunpowder from a pouch in his pocket into the hole behind it. He placed a small piece of cloth on top and took out a match from his pocket.

"If I light this cloth, the fire will reach the gunpowder and explode. The pellets will then travel at high speed toward their target," Yellowbeard explained.

"Interesting technology," said Asahi.

"So why did you come here, what do you want from me?" asked Yellowbeard.

"I need to go to the other continent," said Senri.

"Don't be ridiculous, get out of here! If you want to kill me, kill me now," said Yellowbeard, standing up.
