Chapter 653: Sky (Light) Dog (Moon) Mountain (Longevity) Flying (Joy) Thorough (Burning)
"Ah, this is Mr. Hitotsu Tenguyama, a famous swordsmith in our country. My father's "Yama" has always been kept with him. "
Just as Xie Wen and Kozuki Sukiyaki were sizing each other up, Kozuki Hiyori interrupted their gaze and took the initiative to introduce them.
Sure enough, Hiyori didn't know his true identity either.
Xie Wen raised his eyebrows but did not choose to expose it.
"This is the "Yama" that His Highness Hiyori promised to give to you." Kozuki Sukiyaki also had no intention of revealing his identity. He called "Your Highness" one after another without any psychological barriers, and at the same time, he put the handle of a knife and The sword with a purple scabbard was handed to Xie Wen, "It's ugly to say that from the day this sword was born to this day, the only one who has tamed "Yama" in this country is Kozuki Oden. "
Xie Wen smiled noncommittally, and then pulled out "Yama"...
After all, he has been studying with Hawkeye for so long, and there is a warrior cat next to him who is not even inferior to Mihawk in terms of talent. He teaches him from time to time. Absolute suction comes from the handle of the knife.
"It's really... a completely opposite personality to "Wado Ichimonji". It's completely impossible to tell that they were created by the same person. "
Xie Wen waved it twice casually, sighing as he put the knife back into its sheath.
Although the armed domineering energy in his body was aroused by "Yama" during the swing of the sword, with Xie Wen's current strength, he could completely ignore this DEBUFF.
"Have you ever seen "Wado Yimonji"? ! "
Kozuki Sukiyaki asked in surprise.
"Yes, there is a Shuoyue Village in the East China Sea. I met a swordsman named Shuoyue Koshiro there."
Xie Wen explained casually, and then stuffed "Yama" into his space bag.
He smiled back at "Gambler's Wire" because the other person's character suited his liking and everyone was very friendly with him. As for the things from the Kozuki family... don't give them up for free.
Kozuki Sukiyaki didn't dwell on this, and he took off the samurai sword on his waist, which was made up of several leaves and was shaped like a cattail leaf.
"Your Excellency has saved the country of Wano. Even if I give this "iris" made by me directly to you, it is only natural..."
He paused and said "but" without surprise.
"But I am so shameless, can I use this knife to make a request for a private conversation with you?"
Kozuki Sukiyaki stared into Xie Wen's eyes, with a serious expression under the mask.
Faced with the sudden request from Kozuki Sukiyaki, Xie Wen probably made some guesses after a brief moment of confusion...
It is nothing more than related to historical texts and ancient weapons.
"No problem, I happen to have something to talk to you about." Xie Wen nodded, then pointed to Robin aside, "Why don't we go directly to Jiangjun City to chat, and take her with us by the way, so that we don't have to make another trip later. ”
Xie Wen's words were almost like a clear statement. Although he didn't know exactly how much he knew, after being shocked, Kozuki Sukiyaki quickly calmed down and agreed to Xie Wen's suggestion.
During this process, Denjiro and others did not interfere verbally, and their expressions did not even change much. Only Hiyori Kozuki showed some doubts.
Obviously, even if the Nine Heroes of the Red Scabbard didn't know anything before, they had somewhat guessed the true identity of "Tenguyama Fei Te".
…
Soon, Xie Wen, Kozuki Sukiyaki, and Robin, who was still a little confused, arrived at the General's Mansion, which had mostly collapsed.
Under the leadership of Mitsuki Sukiyaki, they came to a hidden basement in the city.
In addition to the prominent historical text that serves as an entire wall, there is also a shelf filled with traditional Japanese puppets.
"It's cute, isn't it? A beautiful little puppet." Kozuki Sukiyaki proudly showed it to Xie Wen and Robin: "These are all my collection."
"Not cute."
Robin, who has some unusual aesthetics, answered unceremoniously.
Xie Wen also shook his head.
He would be very interested in two-dimensional figures, or Gundam models, but Xie Wen couldn't appreciate these traditional puppets at all.
"Ugh!!!"
The fact that his collection was not recognized seemed to be a huge blow to Kozuki Sukiyaki. He held his chest for a long time before he recovered.
After a simple trick, Kozuki Sukiyaki finally remembered the business and took off the mask on his head, revealing the old face underneath.
"My name is Kozuki Sukiyaki, and he is the father of Kozuki Oden."
"Eh?!"
Robin, who was distracted reading the historical text, looked over in surprise, but Xie Wen had a calm expression.
"Sure enough, you already know my identity."
Kozuki Sukiyaki nodded as expected, and then said seriously: "Your Excellency came to Wano Country this time. In addition to collecting famous swords, you probably also came here for this historical text... right?"
Kozuki Sukiyaki, who still had some illusions in his heart, still didn't mention the ancient weapons, but Xie Wen was not interested in continuing to play riddles with him.
"I can probably guess what you're worried about," Xie Wen curled his lips, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in "Pluto"... In other words, do you think I have a "little girl" who can blow up Kaido? ”, is it still necessary to salvage the Pluto from the deep sea of Wano Country that I don’t know whether it can still be used? "
"call--"
Perhaps the reasons Xie Wen gave were too sufficient, or Kozuki Sukiyaki thought that with Xie Wen's strength, there was really no need to deceive him. He easily believed Xie Wen's words and breathed a sigh of relief.
After talking, the next thing was much simpler...
Kozuki Sukiyaki took the initiative to open an inconspicuous floor tile in the corner of this basement, and then took Xie Wen and Robin to the red road sign historical text deep underground. Xie Wen and the others also saw the old site of Wano Country hidden under the water.
It was only at this time that Xie Wen knew that these things surrounded by the defense wall were not sea water, but rainwater accumulated for a long time...
Originally, Xie Wen thought that the ancients of Wano Country had to do this because of the rising sea level mentioned by the elephant master.
But according to Kozuki Sukiyaki, it seems that the people of the ancient Wano Country did this deliberately?
I don't know if the people of the Kozuki family are so naive, or the people in the pirate world are always simple, or Xie Wen is particularly trustworthy.
In short, Kozuki Sukiyaki, who was wary of Xie Wen before, now tells Xie Wen everything about the method of releasing the ancient weapon "Pluto" passed down from generation to generation by the Kozuki clan, as well as its approximate location, without Xie Wen asking.
Xie Wen: "..."
Xie Wen remembered that he seemed to be like this in the original comics. He told everything when Robin asked, and was not prepared for Law who came to find him halfway.
How to say it? Although it is good to be trusted like this, Kozuki Sukiyaki's actions seem a bit abstract to Xie Wen, an earthling.
No wonder his position as general was so easily usurped by Kurozumi Orochi, with such a sense of confidentiality...
I can only say that it is fortunate that Xie Wen and his friends are really not interested in this ancient weapon hidden in Wano Country.
