Pirates: Nine Tails bombards Mary Joya at the beginning

The outside world is taking action, but within Wano Country...

capital of flowers

This is the most prosperous area of ​​Wano and is where the ruler 'Shogun' is located.

In such a capital, there is also some darkness. The general rules the light of the entire country of Wano and has absolute power. However, no matter how bright the country is, there are a handful of underworld elements, and the leaders of these underworld elements are Hyogoro.

Yes, it was Hana no Hyogoro who later taught Luffy how to quickly become a Sakura, but he is not the thin old man he was later, but in his prime.

He looked a little fat and had no muscles, but this was just because he didn't exercise much after he became famous. He simply wore a coat on his upper body, revealing his big belly, and there were blue stripes from his shoulders to his chest. colored tattoo.

He took a puff of cigarette and talked happily to the person in front of him.

"Feicun, it's been so long! I didn't expect to see you again!"

The man opposite him had a much better figure. Although he could not be considered strong or even thin in this world, he had a special temperament.

His eyes were extremely determined. He was wearing a kimono, with a red upper body and a white lower body. He had long brown hair and was sitting in front of Hyogoro with a glass of wine in his hand.

Yes, he is Himura Kenshin.

A long time ago, Genichi asked Himura Kenshin to come to Wano Country.

Wano Country is also the most suitable place for Kenshin, and it is equivalent to the origin of Kenshin's identity later.

He took a sip of the wine in the glass, and then said with some emotion, "It has been several years since we last saw each other, but Hyougoro is getting younger and younger."

"Hahaha, what are you talking about being young? Kenshin, you are getting younger and younger." Hyogoro said happily, "By the way, where is your master? Why didn't I go down the mountain with you this time?"

In order to have a reasonable and convenient identity, Genichi modified some of Hyōgoro's memories. Genichi's current strength is no less than Machima, so he can certainly do this.

"Teacher, with his character, it would be better to be in the mountains." Kenshin said softly, "I have always done things like drinking."

"He still doesn't want to leave the mountain. It's a pity. If a strong man like you master and apprentice joins the Kozuki family, he will definitely become the world's best samurai." Hyōgoro said with some pity.

In his memory, Himura Kenshin and his master Seijuro Hiko were powerful samurai, but Hiko believed that samurai like them would be exploited once they came out of the mountain, so it was just Sora who had powerful martial arts. Live like a hermit.

He also happened to meet Kenshin who was out drinking when he went out before. It seemed like two years had passed since he last saw Kenshin.

So he dragged Kenshin to his home.

Kenshin shook his head and said, "In a prosperous age, do you need warriors?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a rough voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Boss Hyogoro, who do you think will become the world's best samurai?"

Hearing this voice, Hyogoro suddenly frowned and sighed, "Here comes the troublesome person."

Kenshin knew who was coming without him having to say anything. He looked at the door, which was suddenly pushed open. The person who came was tall, with red eyes and thick eyebrows, and had black hair, which was on his head. There seemed to be a huge disk growing together, and the disk was even bigger than his head.

He walked in carelessly with two knives tied to his waist.

Kozuki Oden...

After coming to Wano Country for several years, Kenshin saw Kozuki Oden in person for the first time.

This legendary person has the ability to curse and meme, and his notes can be called the most powerful props in the world.

Well, this is a man who can fascinate people.

"I don't know who this is..."

But on the surface, Kenshin still asked Hyogoro

"Kozuki Oden!" Before Hyōgoro could answer, Oden had already walked over. He walked to their table and poured himself a glass of wine.

"Oden, you should at least pay attention to your etiquette." Hyōgoro said, "You, a general from the country of Wano, look more like a gangster than me, a member of the underworld."

"Haha, Boss Hyogoro, you praise me too much." Oden chuckled. He looked at Kenshin and asked, "By the way, brother, who are you? I have never seen Boss Hyogoro say that someone can become the world's No. [-] A samurai.”

"Himura Kenshin." Kenshin said honestly, but then shook his head, "I don't dare to be the world's number one samurai. The boss of Hyogoro is too embarrassed."

"Boss Hyogoro is pretty good at judging people." Oden took another sip of wine and poured a bowl for Kenshin, seeming to be very interested in him.

"Sorry." Looking at his actions, Kenshin was stunned for a moment, then shook his hand, "I'm not good at drinking."

"What? You can't drink and you can't be the strongest samurai!" Oden looked at Kenshin and said with some dissatisfaction, but Hyougoro pushed him out directly. "Kenshin has something to do later, so don't come here to cause trouble." ”

"Huh? What do you mean by making trouble? I'm very serious."

Kenshin watched the two of them pushing each other, and slowly stood up. He picked up a sake gourd on the table, and said politely to Hyogoro

"Boss Hyougoro, I'm going back now, and we'll see you again when we have the chance."

After Heigoro heard this, he said with some regret, "I hope your master can change his mind next time we meet again."

Kenshin nodded and said, "I will convey the words of the boss Hyougoro to the master."

After saying that, he left.

After a while, only Hyougoro and Kozuki Oden were left in the room.

"Boss, who is that person and his master? You seem to care about it." Oden was still the same as before. He walked to the table again and started eating.

Hyougoro sighed, "They are two very powerful swordsmen, especially his master. I can feel his unfathomable strength."

"Is he really that powerful?" Oden was a little suspicious. He also knew that Hyōgoro was actually very powerful. How else could he become the boss of the underworld?

But such a Hyōgoro would actually say that others are unfathomable?

"Of course." Heigoro said with confidence, "Don't look like this. I am sure that his master is much more powerful than you."

"Really?" There was a hint of excitement on Oden's face, but Hyogoro looked at him fiercely. "I advise you not to try to get their ideas. Higu is a very powerful swordsman, but he is also a shunner." People, and they have no fixed abode.”

"Then can't I just follow you?"

Hyogoro also knew Oden's character very well, so he said directly, "There is no way you can keep up with Kenshin."

As soon as he finished speaking, Oden disappeared.

Hana no Hyogoro sighed.
