One Piece's Vice Captain 2

Chapter 298

Shinobu, who is not familiar with the castle, doesn't know where a safe place is, so he can only flee to a quieter place, trying to avoid being involved in other people's battles as much as possible.

When fleeing to a courtyard with few people, Momonosuke, whose headache was slightly relieved, poked his head out to look at the surrounding environment in fear. When he swept across the scattered corpses on the ground, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his hands tightly grasped Shinobu's clothes. "Xiao Ren!!"

"What's the matter this time??" Xiao Ren, who was concentrating on running away, was startled by his surprise, and stopped carefully behind a collapsed wall after finding that there were no enemies nearby.

Momonosuke, who didn't know what he saw, was struggling emotionally, and after breaking free from Shinobu's arms, he scrambled towards a figure who fell on the ground.

"Master Momonosuke? What's the matter?" Shinobu quickly followed, and when she recognized one of the samurai, she widened her eyes in disbelief and covered her mouth.As she looked around, she couldn't hold back the tears anymore.

messy ground
With trembling hands, Momonosuke pushed the Kin'emon who had fallen to the ground, but the red sheath samurai with wide eyes and unwilling expression was already chilled and did not respond at all.

"Kin... Kin'emon...", Momonosuke, whose mind was in a mess, only knew how to keep pushing and shoving his motionless body on the ground. He couldn't even imagine that Kin'emon, who had been protecting him under his wings after the death of his parents, would just go away. collapsed.

"Hey, Kin'emon...wake up!" Momonosuke, who has been well protected, has never seen someone close to him die in front of his own eyes. The despair of the falling pillar made him completely confused. Constantly pushing Kin'emon's cold body, "Don't tease me!! Wake up quickly! Didn't you say that you would defeat Kaido and let the Wano Kingdom be founded?!! Didn't you say that I will become Wano Country General's??"

The voice of the 8-year-old was full of panic and helplessness. He suddenly had no guidance and didn't know what he could do now and how to take the next step.

Kozuki Momonosuke was well protected in his short eight years of life. When his father Kozuki Oden died in the frying pan, he was protected in his mother's frail arms.When his mother Kozuki fell under the burning Oden Castle, he was protected by Kin'emon and other loyal warriors, and was passed on by Kozuki to 20 years later—20 years after the prophecy that a savior would appear .

Even though there were many dangers after going to sea, he still met a lot of nobles and was well protected by his warriors.

Until now, things have gone too smoothly for Momanosuke.He wanted to start a country, and powerful allies appeared.He wants to defeat Kaido and Orochi, and the immeasurable Luffy is also on his side.

He always thought that Luffy would defeat Kaido in the end.And after the war is over, he can become a general who is loved by everyone in Wano like his father, Kozuki Oden.

In his naive thinking, no one should die, at least not someone he valued.

But now, the cruelty of war is vividly placed in front of him.

Tears poured out of his eyes uncontrollably, he looked around with blurred vision, and then saw Xiaoju's body with a broken left arm, and Hesong, which was blown beyond recognition in the distance and could only be identified by the features of a kappa.

"Ah! Wake up! Wake up, Kin'emon!!", the excessive stimulation and grief made Momonosuke cry out suddenly, but no matter how much he pushed Kin'emon's body, he still couldn't get any response .

Shinobu, who was holding back tears, noticed a faint figure coming towards the entrance and exit in the distance. It was obvious that it was an enemy attracted by Momonosuke's cry.

"We should run away, Master Momonosuke!" Shinobu, who had no time to care about others, could only forcefully hug Momonosuke and wanted to leave, but the child who was struggling frantically made her unable to control it at all.

"Don't! Don't! Kin'emon woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!" Momonosuke cried and cried, not realizing that this is a battlefield where life and death are in an instant, and the mournful cries will only attract the enemy.

"what!!!"

Suddenly a girl's scream came from above, followed by the sound of the guardrail on the fourth floor being smashed.

Shinobu subconsciously held the crying Momonosuke in his arms, raised his head and saw a small figure falling down, and soon a lion smile and a scorpion smile jumped down and wanted to save her.

Momonosuke, who was taken aback, stopped crying subconsciously. After realizing that the voice was a bit familiar, he raised his head carefully and recognized who the person who fell was, "Ayu?!!!"

A swift black shadow suddenly flew out from the second floor in the distance, holding Ayu in his arms with his right hand, and holding the tails of the scorpion man and the lion man with the other hand, his legs flexibly stepped on the air and jumped to the nearby on top of the tower.

After putting aside the two strong men who were trembling with fear, the handsome young man with freckles smiled and reached out to pat the thin back of the girl in his arms, "It's okay, I'll catch you."

"Ace~~", Ayu, who was relieved all of a sudden, immediately hugged his neck happily, and probed to check the situation of the two people, "Are you all okay?"

"It's...it's okay, thank you, master, for your concern...", the lion man and the scorpion man replied tremblingly, they thought they must have died just now.

"It's fine," Ayu breathed a sigh of relief, and found that he was too frightened to use all his strength. "It was too scary just now. My lower body is a ninja and my legs are weak."

"It's the best thing that you are not injured, and leave it to me." The bony index finger gently poked Ayu's pale cheek, and then Ace pressed her small head in his arms, holding her She jumped off the seven or eight meter high tower.

Ayu, who couldn't see the surrounding environment, could only feel the whistling wind in his ears, and bit his lower lip tightly until he landed before exhaling softly.

Ace patted her slightly trembling shoulders, and after thinking about it, he walked towards Momanosuke and Shinobu, "I heard your shouts just now, what's wrong?"

Although Ace stayed directly on Oni Island when he came to Wano Country this time, and didn't know the female ninja and the child, it seems that they should also be Luffy's allies.

Seeing someone asking, Momonosuke burst into tears just now, and looked at the three samurai who died not far away with sobs, "Kin'emon... Kin'emon died! And Akiku , and He Song woo woo woo!!"

Ace looked at Momonosuke who was crying, but his thoughts uncontrollably recalled the top war two years ago.

When they are engulfed by magma, do people who care about themselves and want to save themselves feel helpless sadness and pain?
Sensing his low mood, the pattern of flames on his left forearm flashed a burning red color, but he quickly calmed down.

"Ace?"

A pair of small hands gently patted his face, and when Ace came back to his senses, he seemed to see the little girl who had been by his side two years ago.After taking a closer look, he realized that two years had passed, and what was in front of him was another little girl whom he had made a promise to.

"It's okay, I just remembered something from the past." Ace smiled lightly and signaled Ayu not to worry, and said gently and seriously, "There are always people who die in wars, that person may be someone you don't know, or it may be You are extremely important. But when the war starts, there is no turning back, and the only thing you can do is to carry their long-cherished wishes and move on."

"But I don't want anyone to die!!" Momonosuke yelled incomprehensibly, the painful voice was just willful to the ears of adults, "Why Kin'emon?! I just want to drive Kaido and Orochi away Get out of Wano Country, let Wano Country go back to how it was before!"

Before Ace spoke, Ayu had calmly answered Momanosuke's question, "Wars kill people, and everyone who sets foot on this island is prepared to be buried here."

The two children, both eight years old, looked at each other, but one looked calm and calm, while the other looked hesitant and terrified.

"It's the same with me, even if I can help you a little bit, I won't regret it even if I can't go back." Ayu never regretted sneaking into Oni Island without telling others, and said to Momonosuke seriously, " Momanosuke-sama, if you want to become a general of Wano country, you should grow up. What Wano country needs now is a general who can lead everyone."

"What do you know?!!" Momonosuke, who had been given high hopes but could not shirk, yelled, glaring fiercely, "You don't understand my responsibilities at all, and you don't know what I'm going to do. I don't know anything at all. choose!"

"I don't understand." Ayu just hugged Ace's neck subconsciously, and stopped looking at Momonosuke, who was in a panic. He almost murmured, "If I didn't meet Ace and Luffy, I would I don’t know what it’s like to have a full meal. If I hadn’t met my master, I might be like those tens of thousands of children in Wano Country, turned into dry bones in the wilderness…”

Ace hugged the little girl pretending to be calm distressedly, and comforted in a low voice, "Those days will never happen again, Ayu. You have to believe that Luffy can defeat Kaido, and I am here now."

"Yeah!" Ayu buried her little head in his arms and nodded vigorously.

"If the enemy finds the lord of the samurai, it will be troublesome. You'd better hide in a safe corner first." Ace nodded slightly to Shinobi, and then took Ayu to run towards the dozens of pirates that were approaching. The twinkling flames sprang out like spirit snakes, entangled the pirates and tightened violently.

After the flames disappeared, the charred PUPPETS fell to the ground one after another.

Knowing that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, Shinobu stretched out his hand to help Kin'emon close his eyes, picked up Momanosuke without any explanation, and continued to flee to a safe place.

..................................................................

On the third floor where there were not many people, a few ninjas were holding torches and lighting fires everywhere. Thick smoke had already begun to billow from behind them, and the blazing flames continued to burn the wood in the castle.

The castle on Ghost Island is mainly made of wood. Once it catches fire, it cannot stop the speed of the fire from spreading.

"Hahahaha!! Burn it! Burn it all to ashes!!" Seeing the rapidly spreading fire, Big Snake couldn't help laughing wildly.

Although he was infected with ice ghosts, Orochi was lucky this time. Not long after he escaped from Hiyori, he ran into the Yuiban ninja led by Fu Lushou.Although it was an accident that the big snake was still alive and even infected with the virus, Fu Lu Shou faithfully brought a little antidote left by Chopper this time.

After returning to normal, the humiliated Orochi was completely mad, and he knew that no matter whether it was a pirate or a samurai who found him, he would not end well.

Orochi, who couldn't think of a good solution after thinking left and right, also decided to break the can, and simply turned the island of ghosts into a sea of ​​flames, and dragged everyone to hell together!

"Where is Kaido's ammunition depot?! Take out all the incendiary bombs!" Orochi yelled at the few ninjas around him, and sent all the ninjas except Fu Lu Shou to light the castle.

But Orochi's good luck ended here. Just after he sent most of his men out to set fire, the red sheath warriors appeared in front of him.

"Ah!!!" Seeing those lingering warriors, Orochi subconsciously screamed in fright, and when he caught a glimpse of Kushiro among the warriors, he widened his eyes in disbelief, "Kushiro!! You actually betrayed Lao Tzu??"

"Why is Orochi still alive?!" Denjiro was also surprised, because they heard the information that Orochi was beheaded by Kaido.

"Are there only a few of you?" Orochi looked at them suspiciously, and found that there were few people missing, and when he saw their heavy expressions, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said with a grinning smile, "It seems that Kin'emon was beaten to death by Kaido Is it? Hahahahaha!!"

The red-scabbard warriors who had guessed the pain point felt a pain in their hearts, and without saying a word, they drew their weapons and rushed towards the big snake.

"Then try to see if you can defeat this general! Kaido's defeated generals!!" Although he did not refine his own devil fruit, the inexplicably confident Orochi directly transformed into Yamata no Orochi. Two have been chopped off.

But after a few black shadows passed, six heads rolled down on the ground, and the Yamata no Orochi, which had only eight necks left, quickly fell to the ground.

"Master Orochi!!", Fu Lu Shou couldn't imagine that Orochi, who had ascended the throne of general by any means and controlled Wano Country for 20 years, would fall like this, but all the heads of Orochi had been cut off.

"I didn't expect you to be loyal to Orochi. You betrayed Oda-sama very simply at the beginning!", Leizo, who is also a ninja, felt angry when he saw him, and determined to eradicate the traitor for the future Wano country, "Everyone , leave this guy to me! Please protect Momonosuke-sama!"
