Murakami Takeyoshi was currently in the Setouchi Sea commanding the ship to advance towards the east.
The Murakami Navy's objective this time was to sail across the Akashi Strait to reach the vast Osaka Bay from the beaches of Harima.
While the violent waves raging in the sea around them seemed to imply the fate of the Mori Twins.
In that famous battle of Miyajima, the reason why the Mori family's 'First Generation' Mori Moronari miraculously was able to turn the tide against an enemy which had an overwhelming difference in strength, was largely due to the fact that the Murakami Navy mobilized to come to the aid of the Mori, the pirates abandoned their own interests and formed up into suicide squads, bravely charging headlong into battle, beheading the commander of the Sue Army, Sue Harukata as well as a large number of enemy troops. [3]
However in this chaotic Sengoku era, the men that were not supposed to die had passed away one by one.
After the Second Generation, Takamoto as well as the First Generation, Motonari's passings, the Mori Clan appointed the young 'Third Generation' Mori Takemoto as the head, while Motonari's twin daughters Kobayakawa and Kikkawa became the rudder of the large ship of the Mori Clan.
However the Mori Twins had no definite idea on what to do after they unify the country.
Especially the 'Strategist' Kobayakawa Takakage who always had the opinion that 'After Otou and Onii-sama passed away, the Mori Clan in it's current state does not have the capability to lord over the country, as even though I am the 'brain' of the clan, I do not possess the ability to foresee the future of this country.'
Therefore, the Mori Clan that had eliminated it's strong opposing foe, the Amago Clan and became the overlord of Chuugoku followed the First Generation Mori Motonari's teaching of 'Do not covet the world'. Yet in order to continue their Clan's reputation to the end used the excuse of 'To test if other people have the capability to become the conqueror of the country' to wage war.
'But even so, to think that the Mori Twins would use 'supporting Ashikaga Shogun' as a reason to go against Oda Nobuna completely, things that happen in this world really are unable to be understood by humans.' Takeyoshi could not help but think,
What's more, even the Honbyo Temple that was on good relations with the Oda Clan also defected to the Ashikaga side and entered the fray.
"Observe, Motonari, Takamoto. I will live to be a hundred years old, precisely because the two of you hastily went off, Kobayakawa and Kikkawa, those two brats can only be protected by me."
Kobayakawa Takakage entrusted the Murakami Navy to do two things.
The first task was to blockade Sakai, the important trading port of the Kinai, effectively cutting off the Oda Army's supplies, such as saltpetre etc, a part of Takakage's long term strategy. [4]
The other task was to send troops and rations to Osaka's Honbyo Temple.
Of course, the Oda Clan had its own Navy, so to achieve these two tasks at the same time was extremely difficult,
Even the Murakami Navy could only do these tasks one at a time.
However, Murakami Takeyoshi still brimmed with confidence.
Even though the Oda Army had accumulated a lot of experience since the Battle of Okehazama on land, but that was completely different in naval combat, at most their navy was only used to support their army on land.
In comparison, Murakami Takeyoshi once led his pirates during the Battle of Miyajima and crushed the Sue Army which had an absolute advantage in numbers, and true to his name was the Pirate King.
There was an insurmountable gap between the two.
"I want to live for a long time, the battle that is forthcoming is most certain to be the toughest fight since Miyajima."
'However, this means that sooner or later we have to go to Sakai, doesn't that mean we would be acting in accordance of the wishes of that strange Catholic boy that not only refused to pay a toll, but also tricked us to pull him out of the sea.' Murakami Takeyoshi suddenly thought of this.
The Murakami Navy that was based in the Setouchi Sea had assembled to explore the sea a few days ago at Dan no Ura near Shimonoseki, [5]
By the time they noticed, they had already captured the young Nanban missionary headed to Sakai from Kyushu's Bungo.
That missionary was a bishonen with long black hair, he had a tall and thin stature, and even though he looked like he did not have much strength, yet his calm composure did not change in spite of the intimidation and even beatings of the pirates.
Wanting to cross the Setouchi Sea yet not paying the required toll to the Murakami Navy.
"I do not have any copper coins, nor gold and silver on me."
After a body search, the pirates realized that the missionary was indeed as poor as he said he was.
Even though the Pirate King Murakami Takeyoshi who possessed the build and stature which everybody had to look up to greatly admired the courage of this Nanban missionary who sailed to Japan from the other side of the world, however, the Setouchi Sea was the Murakami Navy's territory, they could not allow him to pass just because of the fact that he was Nanban.
"Oi Christian, to cross this Setouchi Sea with its dense reefs alone would be similar to suicide, we'll bring you to Sakai, though it won't be free."
After hearing this, the missionary spoke in a soft tone to Murakami Takeyoshi.
"At the seabed of Dan no Ura there lies a great deal of treasure."
When Murakami Takeyoshi asked him why as a Nanban he would know this sort of thing, the missionary simply smiled and answered,
"I understand the History of Japan more than you guys."
But what was in the treasure chests the Murakami Navy who believed the missionary's words fished up from the seabed was not gold, silver or precious gemstones, but rather a few dirty beads,
"This kind of gemstones are called Magatama, they are the true treasures that can change human history." [6]
The pirates who felt that they were being made a fool of originally wanted to tie the missionary up and sink him into the depths to feed him to the fishes, however, their leader, Murakami Takeyoshi felt an increased interest in the missionary, and this spared his life and locked him in a prison.
The reason why he would spare the life of the missionary was probably because of the fact that even though the missionary was in a life-or-death situation, his eyes did not show the slightest trace of fear and panic.
Furthermore, this young missionary who was already left the ships' jail, was currently standing silently beside Murakami Takeyoshi.
His name was Pedro Cabral,
The new branch chief of the missionaries in Japan
In the jail cell, Pedro predicted that the ship would sail towards Sakai with a crystal clear smile, and that he would meet Japan's Queen ashore there.
His smile was truly similar to the smile of the Son of God.
However if one observed him carefully, his eyes still had a ferocity rivaling wild beasts.
"I will turn Japan into the Kingdom of God."
Pedro who declared thus seemed to be like a ferocious tiger clad in a sheep's skin.
"Hou...Kingdom of God eh, in other words making Japan a Catholic country?"
"My goal is more lofty than that that, I want to make God truly descend to Earth."
"WHAT?!"
"All you need do is but look eh, Setouchi Sea 's king. The reason I came back to the past was to change the history of humankind as God does not exist."
Pedro's toneless words created a stir in Murakami Takeyoshi's heart.
"Even though the Catholics don't want to admit that your prediction is correct, but for this match, is really my loss, it's probably called fate I suppose, in one of the next few days, I'll put you ashore at Sakai."
"Thank you, however, now is not the time for me to personally go ashore at Sakai, I will let someone who is both a Christian and a samurai of the Oda Clan use the Magatama on my behalf to pave the way into the future."
"Ho? Compared to exotic people like you, it's easier for samurais to move around. However, does that samurai have the same dream as you?"
"No, everyone has a different dream, but for now sending the Magatama to Sakai is good enough, in the end, everything will happen according to my plans."
"Then what do you intend to do after that?"
"I will quietly wait for the appropriate time for me to take the stage, before that time, I will head back to Kyushu to make preparations to build the Kingdom of God, Furthermore, the anti-Christian forces of the Shimazu are increasing in power too smoothly."
"Really...underneath that weak, thin appearance of yours lies a will of steel, how similar to Mori Takamoto, it's too wasted for you to be a missionary."
"Mori Takamoto?"
"A late brother, the elder brother to the two brats I'm protecting now, but because of a plot by some silly people he passed away."
"Hey, Setouchi Sea's King, are you going to fight for your family again?"
"Ara, if I had to say it then it would be like that, even though those two brats have no blood relation to me but they're still family, I'm brothers with Mori Takamoto!"
"Even though you look so ferocious, you're really a real man."
"Speaking of which Catholic, why did you want to abandon your family to come to this island in a foreign country?"
"I have no family."
"Ho?"
"I am alone in this world, my heart does not love, I neither have anyone I love, nor family members should I protect."
Even though Gaspar said this, but Murakami Takeyoshi observed something ever-so fleeting in his eyes, as though he was trying to hide a wound that he wanted to be healed in his soul.
'This man who came from the distant Nanban alone, traversing the seas might seem crazy, but maybe he has some painful past,' Murakami Takeyoshi could not help but think.
"The King of the Setouchi seas, if one loved his own family, he would become someone who would hate anyone who wasn't in his family, in order to protect his own family members, he has to f
