I teach kendo in the ninja world

"you!"

The red-haired Shanks, who failed to activate the Face Fruit, subconsciously held down the hilt of the sword at his waist. It seemed that he was also proficient in physical persuasion.

But after looking at Araki for a while, he rationally did not choose to use violence to protect his face.

"Talk about?"

"can."

Both of them ignored the bloody Kinemon on the ground.

Xiaoju wanted to draw the sword, but was forcibly taken away by her brother Yizang.

Well, Shanks also contributed a Overlord Color Shock, knocking him unconscious, otherwise Izo would not have been able to succeed so smoothly.

After the two ninjas quickly dealt with the blood stains on the floor, Shanks didn't sit down and sat cross-legged on the floor opposite Araki, throwing a jar of wine to him.

"Where's Mihawk? I heard he's staying in Wano Country too?"

"Well, he is very interested in the swordsmanship here. He spends the whole day sparring with my subordinates, and his life is pretty good."

Araki opened the mud seal and took a sip, "Good wine!"

"This is our famous wine from the West Sea,"

Shanks' tone was a bit proud, "Even Mihawk has never drank much."

After the drink, Shanks's face became serious: "What is your goal?"

"Ok?"

Araki stared at Shanks in confusion.

"You first appeared on the ship of the original Moonlight Moria in the Shichibukai, and then caused a big fuss in the Shampoo Islands; then you defeated Kaido and occupied the country of Wano; recently, you have invited sea swordsmen to come and exchange ideas. …”

He counted in detail what Araki had done during this period, "Everything here caused quite a disturbance at sea!"

"Hey, hey, you're saying that as if I'm deliberately causing trouble."

Araki retorted, "My goal from the beginning has been to recapture the country of Wano, and everything I have done is for this. Also, what do you mean I made a big fuss in the Shampoo Islands? The one who made the most fuss was not the Straw Hat Boy. Really? If he hadn’t defeated the Celestial Dragons, would the Chambord Islands have been in chaos?"

"So what happened recently? Since you have accomplished the goal of restoring the country, why do you still invite the swordsmen from the sea here?"

"Are you interrogating me?"

Araki's eyes also became sharp, "I am the master of Wano Country. Does the development of the country need the consent of you, a pirate?"

After another exchange of swords and swords, Shanks was defeated again and had no choice but to stand up and said, "I am a swordsman after all. Is it okay to stay in Wano Country for a while?"

"As long as there's no trouble, it'll be fine."

"Okay, I'm going to find Hawkeye!"

……

……

Outside the Flower City.

Aju, who was forcibly taken away by Yi Zang, woke up.

After all, he was considered a good swordsman. Although he was knocked unconscious by Shanks' sneak attack, he had regained consciousness after the bumps on the road.

"Brother?"

He turned over and landed on the ground, "Where are you taking me?"

"You can go anywhere, but let's leave Wano Country first."

Izang advised.

"But Kinemon..."

Xiaoju shed tears as she spoke.

"Ugh……"

Izo also sighed, "He is too impulsive. In any case, he is a strong man who defeated Kaido. We can't afford the consequences of irritating him at will. If red-haired Shanks hadn't arrived in time today, I'm afraid I can't hold you back, then the three of us have been thrown into a mass grave now."

"But, but..."

It's not that Xiaoju didn't understand these truths, but he was still sad and speechless.

Seeing his brother like this, Yi Zang didn't trust him to act alone: ​​"Where are you going next?"

"I...I don't know, I'm probably going back to Zuowu..."

Xiaoju's tone was a little confused.

At that time, he and Kinemon left together, one went to explore the way for Momonosuke, and the other went to pull support.

Now that the explorer was dead, and he couldn't bring back any support, how could he have the dignity to go back and see the young master?

"Zou? The Furry Principality? Where is Momonosuke?"

Izo asked.

"Ah."

Xiaoju nodded.

"Then I'll take you back."

Walking on the road, Izo pointed at the bustling civilians, "Look, the people of Wano seem to be living a good life now, so why do you have to stick to one surname?"

Izo, who has followed Whitebeard for more than 20 years, is obviously more open-minded than Xiaoju and can recognize the reality better: "The most important thing is that Araki, who can defeat Kaido, is obviously at the level of the Emperor of the Sea. Neither you nor us have it." What a way to compete!"

"But Oden-sama has paid so much for the country of Wano..."

"Then he couldn't defeat Kaido, right? Let it go. Since you survived, forget everything about Wano Country and start living a good life again."

Yi Zang comforted him.

……

……

Zou Island.

When Xiaoju came back with the news about Kinemon, Momonosuke was so frightened that he cried, while Raizo and others were filled with grief and anger.

"hateful!"

They gritted their teeth and hammered the ground, but they had to admit that Izou was right. Before they had the strength to resist Araki, any action would be nothing but death.

They are not afraid of death, but if they all die, who will help Momonosuke restore his country?

"The power of the pirate emperor...the power of the emperor..."

Cat Viper looked at Yi Zang, "Yizang, didn't you meet the red-haired Shanks? He..."

"Forget it."

Izo shook his head, "Although he did speak out to stop the other party's behavior, he did not do anything drastic after Kinemon's death. Besides, the Pirate Emperor is not a fool, how could he do it so easily? Are you going to fight to the death with enemies of the same level just for us?"

"I heard that BIGMOM's mental state has always been abnormal. Can we..."

"Huh? If you said that, I remember..."

Kanjuro took out a newspaper from his back, "It seems that a wedding is about to be held on Cake Island, and many people have been invited to attend. If you have ideas, we can also join in the fun."

"This... seems feasible?"

Neko Viper, Inuarashi, Raizo, Xiaoju and others looked at each other in confusion.

However, Izo is no longer interested in this kind of thing. He doesn't want to attract the BIGMOM pirates to attack the Whitebeard pirates because of his actions.

Unlike others, although he was also a retainer of Kozuki, he has completely integrated into the Whitebeard Pirates and no longer considers himself a retainer. The first thing he considers when encountering problems is the interests of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Since you already have a plan, I'll take my leave."

He stood up and took one last look at his brother, "Xiaoju, take care!"
