The Pirate Incarnate as Thunder

Chapter 546 Rakugo and Seal

Jiuli, Boluo Town.

"Whoosh, whoosh"

"Shopkeeper, check out"

"Guest, please accept 16 Wen."

In front of the temporary shack, the owner of the buckwheat shop with a white cloth on his head and the young man in a coarse linen shirt stood up at the same time. One of them stretched out his hands respectfully, and the other took out a copper coin and put it in his palm.

"one two Three"

The young man who read out the numbers suddenly changed the subject: "Shopkeeper, what time is it noon?"

The shopkeeper replied without thinking: "Four quarters."

So the young man skipped "four" and continued counting: "five, 66."

"16 Wen received. If you don't treat guests well, please leave slowly."

The shopkeeper took back his palm and thanked the young man seriously.

The young man who was about to leave suddenly felt a hand behind his back. When he turned his head, he had a look of panic on his face: "Master Samurai"

"I saw it below"

The curly-haired warrior said this, and stretched out his generous hand. The young man's face instantly turned red with embarrassment. When he didn't know what he was doing, he felt a chill on his back, and an extra copper coin came out of his hand.

The young man looked around blankly, but did not find his rescuer. He could only hand the copper coins into the hands of the warrior, then hide his face and run away.

After placing the coins on the counter in front of the shopkeeper, the curly-haired samurai also sat down: "Shopkeeper, a bowl of [-] buckwheat noodles."

"Ah, um, ok, samurai-sama, please wait a moment."

After looking at the samurai with a surprised expression and strange eyes, the shopkeeper turned around and started working. The samurai would not eat such "vile food". This guy was an outsider.

"Brother, why bother? You have to be merciful and merciful."

The voice coming from the side made the curly-haired samurai turn his eyes and meet the guest who raised his head. He was a white-haired old man wearing a blue-gray kimono, but his hair was combed meticulously.

"Is your presence so low?"

Qingzhi, who was startled by the other party, calmed down, then frowned and said: "Shouldn't we help with this kind of thing? Shouldn't we speak out?"

"I've already said it, but you just don't know, little brother."

The old man's answer made Qingzhi blink blankly. He didn't remember that the young man who had just eaten said that there was one less copper coin.

"Hey, shopkeeper, have another bowl."

After sucking up the noodles in one breath, the old man showed a satisfied look: "If you don't mind, brother, let's watch a rakugo show later." "

Boluo Town, in the guest room.

"It's done, three months."

Joe returned again, obviously bringing good news and his expression was a little depressed. Reg couldn't help but asked: "I still haven't seen anyone after waiting for so long."

"Well, it's up to Master Shan Laozi to pass on the responsibility to you. I can't help you with this matter."

Regarding Qiao's helplessness, Reg, who had already dealt with it, joked: "It's okay. I'll be even happier to see you come out, Brother Qiao."

"As a swordsman, how can I not experience the style of swords in the land of warriors?"

Sitting cross-legged, Joe put the sword on his lap, stroking it over and over again as if he were a lover. This scene gave Reg a strong sense of déjà vu. Among the many swordsmen he saw, they all Have done this before.

But the most pious and serious person was Hawkeye Tsuki Oden, who had provided him with a lot of help in his sword training.

If Hawkeye learns about the changes that have occurred in Wano Country, he will definitely come back. After all, a tsundere like him will never want to owe others any favors.

Reg also tried to contact Eagle Eye, but unfortunately it turned out to be an empty number. This guy would cleanly release the phone bug when he was in retreat. When he needed it, he would buy another one. After installing the dialing keyboard, The number will be restored again.

But Qiao misunderstood Reg's expression and encouraged him: "Why, at your age, it's not too late if you want to learn to sword."

"A ruler is short, an inch is long. Brother Qiao, I have passed the age where I love to dream."

""

Reg's old-fashioned look made Qiao's face darken: "You will be 15 years old in a few months. It's really unconvincing to say such a thing."

"Ahem, age doesn't matter. The key is to see yourself clearly so that you can go further."

"It's really not cute at all. Let's get down to business."

"It's business, please come in."

Reg paused for a moment, then turned to look at the door.

Qing Zhi, who walked in through the door, smelled faintly of alcohol, and the expression on his face was also filled with joy: "You two, what have you said?"

"Mr. Kuzan is so excited, we just started."

Qiao, who had the alcohol bug aroused in his stomach, glanced at Qing Pheasant with envy, and Reg couldn't laugh or cry at the sight: "Brother Qiao, I'll treat you to a drink later. We are planning to talk about the next three months. "

"Well, I think if you want to complete the mission, you must integrate into this country."

"That's right, Mr. Kuzan, did you meet someone?"

Reg asked with great interest that this was his original plan: in three months, if there were professional people to teach him, integrating into Wano would not be a problem.

In this way, they can change their appearance and approach Brother Ming. If he finds a suitable opportunity to lure Kaido and the three disasters out of the "Ghost Island", the success rate of the mission will be greatly improved.

"Well, I met a rakugo master named "Yakumo" and had a soba session."

In Aoki's view, Wano's "rakugo" is similar to the cross talk outside. But the old man who calls himself "Nidaime Yakumo" told him: rakugo is a person's language art.

After hearing the joke about soba noodles, Aoki finally understood that he was meddling in his own business when he was eating soba noodles. The first half of the story was exactly the same as what happened in the shack.

The second half is about another person who used the same method to deceive people, but did not pay attention to the time. When he counted the copper coins to "8", he asked the boss how many seconds it was. The other person said "four quarters", and he followed from "5" "After counting, I ended up paying 4 more copper coins.

This story is widely circulated in Wano Country. It is not an exaggeration to say that everyone knows it. The young man said this, which is equivalent to telling the shop owner: I am short of 1 copper coin, but I will definitely pay it back in the future.

This was an implicit form of credit, but it was messed up by himself. How could it not look embarrassing? Moreover, he wore a samurai uniform to eat "common people's food" such as soba noodles. The locals could tell at a glance that he was an outsider.

Or to put it another way, his behavior was equivalent to letting the Celestial Dragons and slaves eat the same meal, so the shopkeeper's expression at that time was so wonderful.

"Hahaha, that's so funny. This is so embarrassing."

Joe, who took continuous shots of his thighs, was laughing so hard that although the story itself was interesting, he was more interested in the embarrassment of Qing Pheasant.

"Well, things like this do happen, Brother Qiao. If you laugh again, it will be too much."

Reg also felt the same way at this time. He just refused the maid's offer to dress, which made Guangyue Crested Ibis personally come to ask him the reason for his "dissatisfaction". What was his dissatisfaction? It was just that he was not used to this situation.

But in the eyes of the maids, this was a dereliction of duty, especially since he was a great benefactor of the Kozuki clan, so he had to explain again and again to avoid this misunderstanding.

This is exactly what Kozuki Oden wants to change. He is too envious of the equality between men and women in the Kingdom of Heaven.

But this kind of traditional change cannot happen overnight. Reg told Kozuki Oden that this kind of thing cannot be rushed. The only way to influence the next generation in a subtle way is the most effective way.

"Ahem, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, but I can't wait to learn rakugo."

Qingzhi waved his hand magnanimously, indicating that he didn't care about Hou's shocking words. Reg nodded: "If you are interested, the best rakugo performances are for ordinary people. Most of the contents are short stories about the parents in their lives." , even if you can’t learn it in a short time, you can still understand most of the customs and customs of Wano Country.”

"Then please ask Reg to make arrangements for Mr. Qiao. Where are you?"

As the captain, Aoki made a decision directly and turned to look at Joe. He didn't need Reg to explain. Having heard a rakugo performance in person, he knew: This is not just a performer, but also behind-the-scenes workers and people in charge of chores. Wait, the four of them can definitely find a trustworthy group to join.

Qiao and Reg had the same view on Qing Zhi's interest: "Since Reg agrees, let's go ahead and do it. We have other arrangements here."

"Really? Then let's talk about queen."

Reg, who knew that Joe was just a "puppet" leading the team, didn't ask much. He didn't know what Wulaoxing was thinking, but Joe was not an easy man: he would definitely not be used obediently, and he might even be used according to the situation. Do something "messy".

"Queen is the "manticore" of the fantasy beast species. "

Even Qiao, who seemed dishonest, became quite solemn when mentioning this word.

"Scorpion"

Qingzhi thought for a moment, then his pupils dilated: "Sealed Poison"

"Yes, that's the one"

Reg narrowed his eyes and began to think that the description of the countermeasure Aokiji came from the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia. It was used to describe this transformed scorpion monster that was tall, fast-moving, and highly poisonous.

Manticore's poison is fundamentally different from Magellan's "poisonous fruit". Magellan's poison is fine as long as it stays within a certain range and does not come into direct contact.

But the manticore's poison is completely different. Once its poison is released, it will spread quickly like a plague. The poison is so violent that just a few minutes are enough to make the rescuer unable to save his life.

There is also a "vague" description of a certain country in the illustrated book, so he died overnight.

Qing Zhi pinched his head and looked extremely headache: "Is there an antidote for this poison?"

Joe looked at Reg's thoughtful expression and said uncertainly: "It depends on the person. This queen is a biologist. If he mixes in some other toxins, I'm afraid even the special antidote drug "Xiehancao" here will be poisoned." Useless. "

"That's true, you two. I have to deal with this matter first."

Reg, who stood up directly, did not complain that Joe said it too late. After all, this information was part of the transaction. I'm afraid Joe didn't even know it until he was sure that he was willing to help.

Oden City, Budeng Medical Center.

"Does the poison have to be sealed?"

"Mr. Kurokas, then"

"The mutated Xiehancao treats the symptoms but not the root cause. As long as the enemy changes the formula, you have to eat it once. Every time you eat it, it will cause huge harm to the body."

Kurokas shook his head, which made Reg feel relieved and at the same time confused: "Then do you have any solution?"

"Of course there is, but it requires a copy of the most primitive venom in his body, and the poisoned person cannot eat Xiehancao. In this way, a vaccine can be developed for him to avoid the widespread spread of the plague."

""

Before Reg could be happy, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, which was indeed a bit difficult.

Forcing the queen to transform into an attack may not be a problem, but the key is what to do after being poisoned and how the poisoned person can avoid his own death and the spread of poison.

If you want to achieve this, you must have good physical fitness, good medical knowledge, and the ability to face the enemy without being killed instantly. Isn't this tailor-made for you?

"no no no"

"It's strange. Logically speaking, you kid shouldn't be afraid."

Reg shook his head repeatedly, which made Kurokas surprised. In his impression, Reg was not the kind of person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, especially when it involved many people around him.

Reg looked strange and said: "Mr. Kurokas, I have a better candidate."

"Oh, let's hear it"

Kurokas was very interested. He really didn't know anyone with so many qualifications.

"She is a user with the ability of the "hormone fruit" and is also a very good healer, but her personality is a bit different from ordinary people. "

Reg's expression became even more subtle when he mentioned Ivankov. This guy who calls himself "New Human" is the best person to target the queen, even though he is not good at dealing with such people.

"It can control the body's temperature, pigment, growth, and emotions, and can even transform people from the inside of the body. This is something that is comparable to a "surgery fruit" to a certain extent. "

When Kurokas mentioned this topic, his tone was a little more sad: "If I had known about it a few years earlier, maybe Roger would have had some chance of being cured."

""

Regarding this issue, Reg could only remain silent. In any case, this is already in the past tense, and the dead can never come back.

Kurokas also understood this truth, so he said directly: "There is no better choice than this. Let's make arrangements as soon as possible."

"I understand, I'm going now"

"You are so blessed. When are you planning to hold the wedding, Mr. Reg?"

Looking at Reg's leaving figure, Kurokas casually teased the handsome girl dressed as a warrior in the ward, which really gave him a complete surprise.

In the past, Kurokas couldn't figure out why a young man like Reg was indifferent to Crystal. Now he finally understood that he had already been in love with her.

"Hey, let's talk about this when we get back."

Reg, who greased the soles of his feet, quickly left the hospital and went straight to Ashura Boy's residence. The Revolutionary Army was currently developing at a high speed. He really didn't want to ask Ivankov, the main cadre, to come here if it was not necessary.
