Chapter 689
"Who is fighting?!"
In the flower capital of Wano country, a few masked men in white suits frowned suddenly, looked at the small window, looked beyond the window, and looked at the distant sky.
"Dum~"
The shamisen that was playing suddenly made a piercing noise, and the big snake on the way to the window turned his head to change direction, looked at the geisha who was playing the shamisen, and said, "Xiao Zi?! Why are you so rude?"
The geisha who was called Xiao Zi quickly put down the shamisen in her hand, bowed deeply, and said, "General Orochi, I'm really sorry, I was startled by the thunder just now."
After hearing Xiao Zi's words, Big Snake waved his hands and said, "Needless to say, the thunder was really sudden. Forgive your innocence. Change the strings and play for me my favorite song "Yue Ji." "."
""Yue Ji"? The little girl understands."
Xiao Zi straightened up, helped the mask that was a little crooked because of just saluting, and then gracefully and cleverly changed the strings for the broken shamisen.
"Deng Deng Deng~"
After changing the strings, Xiao Zi tried to play a few times and adjusted the pitch at the same time. Then she looked at Orochi and the CPs, nodded slightly, and shook the plectrum in her hand.
The shamisen's unique string sound came out, and Orochi narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, and nodded. As for the fighting situation outside the window, he didn't pay attention at all.
Because he had received news from Kaido yesterday that Kaido would personally come to Wano Country to escort this transaction, and he heard that the enemy who attacked this time was a swordsman.
Swordsman and samurai, in the eyes of the big snake, there is no difference. They are all a group of weak people who only know how to die. With Kaido taking action, the swordsman should not be able to cause any trouble.
Look at the tense looks of these CPs. They tapped their knees with their fingers, and the big snake who seemed to echo the beat of the shamisen in Xiao Zi showed a disdainful smile.
World government, nothing more!
If those CPs knew what Orochi was thinking at this time, they would probably laugh out loud. Orochi couldn't see it, but they could understand it. This battle was definitely not easy.
One of those who can make a move at this moment and create such a magnificent scene must be Kaido, the emperor of the new world, and Kaido's strength really made a few people murmur.
They were even glad that they chose Wano Country to escort the arms, arrive at the waters under the jurisdiction of the World Government, and then make payment.
Otherwise, if they come here with a large amount of gold, as long as Kaido has a slight dissatisfaction, neither they nor the gold can leave the Wano country.
But at the same time, they were also very puzzled, because the battle situation at this time seemed to be clearly evenly matched.
In this world, there are not many people who can be evenly matched with Kaido, and there are not many people who will appear here at this moment to fight Kaido
Several CPs, invariably thought of the same person, that is their CP's thorn in the side, the most hated enemy - Vice Admiral Gray Lady Skyler Gray.
But soon, they denied this idea in their hearts. After all, since the Charros St. incident, the detachment seemed to have disappeared, and they did not even appear in the World Government and the Pirate Expo.
Naturally, Skyler, the leader of that detachment, disappeared from everyone's sight. Without warning, Skyler shouldn't have come here for no reason.
Not to mention. If Skyler made the shot, then the battle situation should not be evenly divided at this time.
Although they hate and dislike Skyler, several people have to admit that Skyler's strength is definitely not comparable to that of Kaido.
If it's not Skyler, then who is Kaido's enemy at this time?
The emergence of this question made several people lose the idea of continuing the transaction. Anyway, Orochi was not in a hurry to negotiate at this time, as if he wanted to show his skills.
Then the CP and the others also want to interrupt the negotiation of the transaction, and take a good look at how the battle develops this time.
Nine miles, in the mountains.
A fat and tall man saw the scene of the sky being torn apart in the distance, and immediately stood up from the ground. Looking at the split dark clouds, his lips and the hand holding the jug began to tremble.
"Boss Jiutianmaru, what's wrong?"
Beside him, a bandit looked suspiciously at the tall man. Jiutianwan was awakened by the sound, quickly shook his head, lowered his head, then raised his head again, took a look, and lowered his head again.
"nothing."
Jiu Tianwan sat back on the ground again, closed his eyes, raised the jug, and took a sip, it seemed that the wine was too spicy, and he drank too much, his facial features were distorted.
Immediately, a tear appeared in the corner of his eye. He grabbed the corner of his bathrobe and smacked his face hard.
For a moment just now, the emotion that had been dead for ten years suddenly surged in his heart - hope, but this hope was ruthlessly wiped out by himself.
How dare he have hope? The so-called hope is just the temptation to make people around you go to death one by one.
Even at this time, exactly twenty years have passed since that prophecy.
"When the world is dark and the moon is like a moon, wait for the dawn. Twenty-year-old lamentations come and go, and finally bring the night rain with the new sunshine."
Also in Jiuli, on the streets of Bianka Village, a man wearing a big tengu mask, holding a small pocket in his arms, looked at the vision in the sky, and murmured unconsciously.
Beside him, on the street, countless yellow and emaciated villagers looked at the sky with hope.
It wasn't because of the so-called prophecy, they didn't even know about the prophecy, what made them happy was that rain came along with the dark clouds in the distance.
In their memory, since General Orochi ruled Wano Country, the rivers in Wano Country have never been pure again. Compared with the poisonous water of that river, the rain from the sky seems clean.
Although their stomachs are still hungry, they are already happy that they don't need to drink the water that would cause abdominal pain today, and it depends on how thick the dark clouds are.
Perhaps the collected rainwater is enough for them to drink for many days. Although this cannot solve their plight, this is already a hope, isn't it? A hope to live.
"Dah~"
A drop of rainwater passed through the holes in the eyes of the big tengu mask and landed in the old man's wide-open eyes. The slight tingling sensation brought the old man back to his senses. He lowered his head and looked at the small pocket in his arms.
"Mr. Feiche, why don't you go back to store water?"
At this time, a villager who was carrying a basin outside also said to the old man. The old man raised his head, nodded at the man, and said, "Thank you."
Immediately, he buried his head in the rain and began to trot until he reached his residence, before he stopped.
At the door of his house, there are many bamboo hats, and they are placed upside down. The fine grain weaving technique makes these bamboo hats seem to have the function of storing water, and now they have become small water. pot.
A little girl in a green bathrobe with many patches was constantly checking the bamboo hats to see if they were leaking.
It was clearly under the rain, but the little girl was smiling. Like the villagers in the village who had hopeless hopes, she seemed unaware of the meaning of the appearance of the dark clouds, and was just happy to have clean water to drink.
"Master!"
Seeing Feiche, the little girl shouted happily. Feiche nodded, stepped closer to the girl, took out the small bag, and said, "Xiaoyu, this year's birthday present is five months late."
"ah?"
The little girl seemed to have just realized it, and then the smile on her face became brighter and brighter. She took the small bag that Feiche handed over, and said, "No, just right, we have clean water for cooking."
At this time, a domestic animal with a golden mane, which looked a bit like a dog, also trotted up to the two of them, and arched their trouser legs with its nose.
Xiaoyu lowered her head and said with a smile, "Are you hungry too? Komachiyo?"
"Go and cook, I'll store water."
Feiche patted Xiaoyu's head, Xiaoyu looked at the rainwater that had accumulated a lot, nodded happily, hugged the small bag, and returned to the room where many girls' puppets were placed.
Fei Che raised his head, looked at the dark clouds in the sky, and said, "The dark night waits for the dawn, and the night rain welcomes the new sunshine. It has been twenty years. But am I worthy of this hope?"
"Hahaha~hahaha~hahaha~"
In Yebisu Town, countless people with wide-mouthed smiles looked up at the sky, opened their mouths wide and laughed, and at the same time, drops of rainwater poured down their throats.
An old man with a big grin was also grinning at the sky, but unlike others catching the rain, his eyes fell on the dark clouds in the distance.
"Hahaha~"
Amidst the laughter, tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes, but under the rain, no one could see clearly, even if someone saw it, they would just think it was rain, not tears.
"Don't look up! Don't look up!"
In the quarry of Tudon Prison, a hippopotamus had a strange man with a human head and a human body in its mouth, holding his own saber, knocking on the fence, looking at the chaotic prisoners below, and roaring angrily.
"You still dare to look up?! You have nothing to eat today!"
Seeing those prisoners, not only were they disobedient, some even stretched their necks and widened their eyes on purpose, just to see the dark clouds in the distance, the hippopotamus yelled in anger.
In the corner of the quarry, a thin old man was holding a pipe and smoking dry tobacco. He also looked up at the dark clouds in the distance.
"Mr. Leopard Goro, do you know what that is? Why does it look like a dark cloud has been split?"
Next to him, a prisoner asked the thin old man. Leopard Goro took another puff of dry tobacco, and touched the quarrying pick with the other hand, but it looked more like holding a knife. Then he said slowly:
"Don't look at it, the dark cloud is the sky, it was cut open."
"So powerful? Who has such strength?"
The prisoner sighed with surprise, but Leopard Goro let go of the quarry pick, shook his head, and said, "No matter how powerful it is, what does it matter to us? We are just prisoners in this prison."
"What if the battle spreads here and liberates us all?"
"It's better not to think about that, think about how to spend today without food, who made you look up?"
Even though he said so, Leopard Goro's head was not on the ground, and his eyes behind the dark blue sunglasses were staring at the distance, looking at the dense but torn dark clouds.
"Xiaosheng doesn't think so."
At this time, a huge murloc who looked like a kappa in the storybook suddenly appeared beside Leopard Goro. Leopard Goro looked at him suspiciously and said, "He Song? Do you have anything else to say?"
He Song touched his stomach, and then several fish bones appeared in his palm. He leaned down and said, "There is only one chance. Xiaosheng wants to go out and help found Wano Country. Are you willing to help Xiaosheng?"
"Founding? You're talking nonsense again"
Bao Wulang took a sip of the dry tobacco, but found that the dry tobacco was extinguished by the rain at some point. He turned the pipe and knocked it on the stone, knocking out the soaked tobacco.
He Song stared at him closely and said, "The prophecy has arrived."
"I'm already seventy, and I'm destined to die of old age in this prison. Even if I get out by chance, so what?"
Leopard Goro still shook his head, but He Song said, "Xiaosheng disagrees."
"Boom!"
"What are you whispering about?!"
At this time, the hippopotamus noticed the situation and interrupted the conversation between He Song and Bao Goro. He Song straightened up and asked, "If there is a chance to leave, can you help Xiaosheng?"
"Then let's talk again when we have a chance."
Leopard Goro ignored the roaring hippopotamus and filled the cigarettes on his own. Hesong nodded and said, "Xiaosheng will find a chance."
"Oh~"
Leopard Goro shook his head, watching He Song leave, and when the Hippo man saw He Song leave Leopard Goro's side, he also looked away and scolded the others angrily.
In the quarry, He Song and Leopard Goro were not the only ones whispering to each other, but the Hippo people did not target other people like this, even Leopard Goro was communicating with other prisoners just now, and he did not stop him.
But he will never allow He Song and Leopard Goro to be in contact for a long time, because the two are too dangerous, and if they cooperate to do something, it will be another big trouble.
If something went wrong at the most critical moment of the transaction. Just thinking about it, the Hippo shuddered. If there was a turmoil, Lord Quinn would not let any of them go.
He Song retreated far away from Leopard Goro, and the Hippo man and the other jailors only looked away a little bit, but He Song raised his head and kept scanning the Hippo man and other jailers.
The hand holding a few fish bones tightened again, he only had one chance.
In Boluo Town, in a teahouse, a beautiful figure rushed into the kitchen full of herbal smell, grabbed a woman who was making tea and medicine, and said:
"Sister Ahe, come out, come out and see."
"Kikunojo? What are you looking at? Is there another patient?"
Azuru looked puzzled, but Kikunojo didn't explain much, he just pulled her out of the teahouse. As soon as he left the teahouse, the first thing Ahe noticed was the rain.
But I am not surprised, after all, it is normal to rain. Although the rainfall in Wano country is not as good as before in recent years, it is not worthy of Kikunojo's surprise and joy.
Following Kikunojo's raised hand, Azuru looked towards the sky, looking at the torn sky, she was stunned for a moment.
Some time ago, she met Kikunojo who had traveled through 20 years. Kikunojo explained a lot to her, such as the founding of the country, and she also believed that Kikunojo was the Kikunojo from 20 years ago.
And the scene in front of him was exactly what Kikunojo had said when chatting with her during this period of time, and what His Highness Oda who had returned from overseas mentioned, was the vision that would only appear when the strongest in the sea fought.
"This, this, this"
Azuru looked at this scene in the distance and didn't know what to say. Kikunojo smiled and said, "We're saved, Wano Country is saved, it must be Brother Kin'emon and the others who brought the rescuers back."
Some time ago, they traveled together for twenty years and came to the current Wano country. In the pursuit of beasts, Kinemon and the others left Wano country, while Kikunojo chose to stay.
I thought it would take a long time for Kin'emon and the others to come back, but I didn't expect it to be so fast. Although I can't be sure, this is the rescuer Kin'emon brought back.
But Kikunojo had a hunch that this was the fulfillment of Mrs. Shi's prophecy.
In other words, this is Kikunojo's expectation. During this period of time, he stayed in Wano country and saw too much pain in Wano country. He wished that Mrs. Shi's prophecy would come true as soon as possible, and Wano country's founding would come soon.
Ah He looked at the dark clouds that were torn apart in the sky, and finally, she came back to her senses, looked at Kikunojo, and said, "Kikunojo, you should leave, after all, what I want here is a waitress."
No matter how gorgeous Kikunojo looks, it can't change that he is a man. Although his beauty is enough to fascinate countless men and bring benefits to the teahouse, but compared with Kaiguo, what is the teahouse?
Kikunojo also understood what Ahe meant, he looked at the horizon, his smile subsided a lot, and he said, "Sister Ahe, thank you for taking care of me during this time, but I should also finish what I should do.
Boluo Town is very bitter, but now it is not just Boluo Town that is suffering, Jiuli, Tudon, Linghou, Baiwu, Ximei... and the capital of flowers, there must be people waiting for this day.
I'm going to find them, and then personally participate in the founding of Wano Country.
Sister Ahe, thank you for your hospitality during this time! "
Let's talk, Kikunojo bowed deeply, and Ah Tsuru nodded with a smile. In the blink of an eye, Kikunojo had disappeared in front of her, disappearing into the rainy curtain.
"This is Hawkeye?! Why is he here?"
Just when countless people were watching the outbreak of the battle and couldn't figure out who the two sides were, they noticed who was fighting Kaido at this time.
Behind the bell, in the vast white snow, a figure hidden in the shadows, watching the fleeting blue-blue slash fantasy in the distance, suddenly thought of something, he quickly picked up the newspapers scattered on the snow .
"Damn it, you actually brought ... here, don't you know it's dangerous here?!"
In the shadows, the man was cursing, and then, looking at the tombstones buried in the thick snow, he murmured: "Looks like I have to speed up, first I have to find someone who uses a knife, the scalpel should be It’s also a saber.”
In the outer sea of Wano, on a huge reef, Marco, who was panting, drank the little clear water left, and looked at the Dragon Shadow and Slash Phantom in the distance with some surprise on his face.
Izo was equally astonished as he was, because they both recognized both sides in the battle. Needless to say, Kaido, who had just turned into a blue dragon, it was normal for him to appear in Wano Country.
But the person who fought against Kaido was beyond their expectations, Hawkeye Joracle Mihawk!
Yizang said in surprise, "What is he doing here?"
After flying for two full days and two nights, Marco, who hadn't rested for long, took a deep breath, and then said, "Whatever he is, will it be easier for us to succeed if he's around?"
Yizang held the saber in his hand tightly, and said: "Yes, after all, he is a great swordsman with the same reputation as Skyler, if he can kill Kaido."
"Kill Kaido?! Is that samurai stronger than His Royal Highness?!"
Lei Zang said incredulously, Yi Zang turned his head to look at him, then looked in the direction where the battle came from just now, and said, "To be honest, I don't think Your Highness Yu Tian can win against this person."
Hearing that, Raizo, Kanjuro, Inuarashi and Momomushi all showed incredulous expressions. His Royal Highness was a samurai who was valued by both Whitebeard and One Piece Roger, and was invited to board the ship.
And Yizang now actually said that the samurai who fought against Kaido was not weaker than His Royal Highness Mita? Also, not only this warrior named Mihawk, as Yizang just said, but also another person, Skyler.
The name seemed familiar. The few people looked at each other, and finally remembered, who was the Skyler that Yizang was talking about? Wasn't it the navy that killed Whitebeard and cut off Kaido's arm?
The samurai in front of him was actually as famous as that navy. They didn't care about bringing back the fame for their Royal Highness, and several of them showed surprise expressions.
As famous as Skyler, it proves that the difference in strength is not too big. Skyler can kill Whitebeard and cut off Kaido's arm, so this Mihawk is also capable of killing the one who has lost his arm. Kaido.
Marco stood up at this time. Although his breathing was still a little disordered, he said: "Let's go over and have a look? See if Mihawk is willing to accept our help? Or... is he willing to help us?"
After saying this, Marco suddenly felt absurd. After all, they were the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates, but after the death of their father, they became such humble people.
In the final analysis, it is still not strong enough.
"Don't you need to rest for a while?"
Looking at Marco, who was sweating profusely on his forehead, Yizang asked with some concern, Marco shook his head, and was about to speak when he heard a somewhat familiar voice.
"Uncle Pineapple Head?! Uncle Yizang?! There are also big dogs and big cats!"
The sudden appearance of the voice made several people tense up and kept looking around, but there was only the sea around them except for the rocks under their feet.
Just when they were puzzled and vigilant, two arms suddenly appeared in the air, and the next moment, hands that appeared out of thin air grabbed them and pulled them violently.
"Boom boom boom~"
Before they could react, they had already landed on the ground. Judging from the touch, it seemed to be a deck.
"I didn't expect to meet you here!"
The somewhat familiar voice appeared again, and Marco took a closer look, and a big face with a bright smile appeared in front of him, and this person
"Straw hat kid?!"
Before Marco could say hello, or figure out why a ship appeared in a sea of nothingness, the sudden burning sensation made him vigilant again.
Yi Zang also quickly drew and loaded his gun, aiming at the heat source.
Ace, with flames coming out of his hands, looked at them and said, "Whitebeard Pirates? What a coincidence! I heard that you are still attacking Auntie's branch base?!"
