Pirates of the Holy Light Sword

Chapter 428 Identity Issues
"..."

Kin'emon and Momanosuke cheered up, excitement flashed in their eyes:

"Your Excellency, Marshal, you mean..."

"Your Excellency Kin'emon, thank you for your candid announcement... The things you said just now are basically the truth-they are not deliberately exaggerated."

Wright propped his elbows on the table, and slowly said something that shocked Kin'emon and Momanosuke:
"In fact, as early as eight years ago, the Navy made a series of arrangements targeting Kaido and Wano Country."

"At that time, it was me, the lieutenant general of the headquarters, who secretly went to Wano country to start the operation."

"What! Eight years ago! Your Excellency the Marshal..."

Kin'emon stood up excitedly:

"However, we didn't see any naval forces in Wano Country... In the contact with the people, we didn't find any signs of them contacting the navy at all!"

"Of course, because it was a secret operation... and, it deliberately avoided you."

Seeing Kin'emon's expression, Wright shook his head in disbelief:
"Your Excellency Kin'emon, the situation in Wano Country is much better than what you have seen... But all of this cannot be shown to you for the time being."

"The legend of the Red Sheath Nine Heroes traveling through time and space, the Navy knew eight years ago... The Navy has done a lot of work on this prophecy, which is not known to be true or not..."

"One of them is to collect all kinds of information and analyze the reasons for your failure!"

"With the strength of Kozuki Oden, in the perception of the navy, Kaido back then was not as powerful as him! And he was sentenced to 'cooking in oil', even if the navy knew that I find it unbelievable—this is a waste of his strength second only to Whitebeard!"

"Whitebeard has been suppressing the New World for 20 years. At that time, Kaido was just a new star of the Pirates. He didn't have many subordinates, and his strength was very different from what he is now. How could Oden be killed by Kaido like that!"

"You know, when I was a lieutenant general, I just fought against Kaido before going to Wano Country!"

"..."

Kin'emon felt that his eyes were once again covered with blood... What the admiral of the navy said was something that he and others dared not even think about or recall!
When Oda-sama took himself and others to fight against Kaido, he encountered Kaido leading an army and was waiting for him. When Oden asked, Kaido said something intriguing:

"Maybe, there are traitors among you..."

For Kin'emon, the days when he joined forces with Oden to fight against Kaido, not long ago, Kaido's words even directly caused the confrontation between Inuarashi and Momomushi, and after time travel, Kin'emon even Never dare to think of this sentence again!

"Really...there is...a traitor?!"

"And... among us, the ones we came over from 20 years ago?!"

Kin'emon is very smart. From Wright's words, he had to draw such a conclusion that he couldn't believe it!

"The first time you guys showed up at the ruins of Oden Castle, Orochi who was far away in the capital of flowers got the news..."

"Twenty years later, even ordinary people will not recognize you. In the deserted and uninhabited Oden Castle ruins where birds and beasts are extinct, who is capable of leaking information about your appearance in the first place?"

Wright took out a thick document and asked Ace to hand it to Kin'emon:
"Take a good look... This is the inference and conclusion made by our navy and allies. After reading it, you will understand why you still don't know anything..."

"Why, I'll show you this now!"

"..."

Kin'emon took the document with trembling hands, and the first line of text entered shocked his brain again:
"Analysts—Wright, Rosindi, Shimotsuki Yasuke, Denjiro!"

Biting his mouth tightly, Kin'emon knew that now was not the time to ask questions about the latter two names, and he read the thick document carefully word by word under Momonosuke's worried eyes.

Kin'emon stopped on the last page of the document, his hands trembling again, Momonosuke couldn't help but leaned forward, and saw the last line of the document read:

"To sum up, there is a traitor in the 'Nine Heroes of the Red Scabbard', more than [-]% of this person is dispatched by the Wano country general Kuitan Orochi, it should be - 'Storm Rain' Kanjuro!"

"Kanjuro!"

Momanosuke widened his eyes and exclaimed:
"Kin'emon! This! This... Kanjuro was still... still with us..."

"Your Excellency Marshal!"

Kin'emon held Momonosuke who was about to jump up, raised his head and looked at Wright calmly:

"This document is signed by Lord Yasushi and Denjiro, and the Navy has reached a cooperation with them?!"

"What do you think, do you agree with the content of this document?"

Wright did not answer Kin'emon's question, but asked:

"Most of the examples in it come from the memories of Shimotsuki Yasuke's family and Denjiro. Of course, there are also other people's, which are also marked... Maybe they have experienced 20 years, and their memories will be biased. As a person 20 years ago, what do you think? "

"..."

Reluctantly, Kin'emon sighed heavily:

"The examples here... are the same as what I know!"

"Although it is extremely painful, I have to admit that behind these things, I did not think carefully!"

"According to the above analysis, Kanjuro... is almost the only candidate for the traitor!"

Kin'emon felt his nose and tears welling up:

"Damn! How could it be him...why would it be him!"

"But these cases...damn it!"

Kin'emon held Momonosuke's hand tightly, fear appeared in the latter's eyes—was my father betrayed by his most trusted vassal? !

And this betrayer was still with me not long ago!
"Perfectly disguised...perfectly disguised!"

Kin'emon was frightened for a while: "In Oden Castle! On the sea! In Dressrosa!"

"Master Momonosuke is in danger all the time!"

"I have some bad news for you..."

Wright waited for Kin'emon to calm down, and continued:
"After you learned Zou's location, Kaido got the news not long after..."

"He is about to send the big sign 'Plague' Quinn... well, I don't know if you have seen Quinn, in short, he is Kaido's number two thug."

"Kaido is about to send Quinn to Zou, specifying that he wants to capture the ninja 'Raizou of the Mist'...you can think about the rest."

"Kanjuro..."

Kin'emon clenched his fists tightly, biting his lips with his teeth——

Knowing Raizo's whereabouts, knowing Zou's location, knowing that he and others are not with Raizo, only Kanjuro!

"Leizang and Zowu are in danger!"

Kin'emon got up and knelt down, touched his forehead to the ground, and saluted:
"Since the Navy has heard the news, I have the audacity to ask Your Excellency, Marshal, to send troops to Zou. Zou is the key to this war. If Quinn can be captured..."

"Kin'emon, you... are not qualified to make such a request."

Wright's words interrupted Kin'emon's excitement, making him feel as though he had fallen into an ice cave.

"As I said, the Navy has no obligation or position to help Wano Country. The Navy's goal is to attack Kaido..."

"I'll show you all the help I've provided to Wano Country over the past eight years...that's the limit that the Navy can do with justice."

"Whether the Wano country can accept the help of the navy, I need the 'leader' of the rebel army to give me an answer."

"You can't, Mr. Kang's can't, Denjiro can't, even Princess Hiyori..."

Wright looked at the trembling Momanosuke:

"Although you are still an eight-year-old child, I believe you understand the burden you carry."

"If you, Wano Country's 'spiritual leader', don't make a promise, the navy can't give you more help."

"Especially... Although I am very upset, behind the navy, there is indeed a world government."

"You need to think carefully about the consequences of the Navy's entry into the game."

Asking Ace to hand over another document to the sweaty Kin'emon, Wright said seriously:
"Zowu's matter is not in a hurry, there is still time... Take a look at this, think carefully, and give me an answer at this time tomorrow."

"Ace, take them to the room... If they have any questions, answer them truthfully."

"is teacher!"
