Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

"Then...those two people...Sanji and Zoro from the Straw Hat Pirates?!"

After a brief moment of surprise, everyone in the square finally came to their senses. Thanks to Kurozumi Orochi's previous publicity, these people were relatively familiar with the members of the Straw Hat Pirates. After all, with their portraits all over the streets, it would be hard not to know them.

What surprised them even more was why these two people appeared here at this moment, and saved Shimotsuki Yasuie as soon as they appeared.

Some smart people have figured out something.

Could it be that the previous rumors were all true? Did the ghosts of the Kozuki clan who returned from hell really seek help from the Straw Hat Pirates to overthrow Kurozumi Orochi?

In this case, what about what Shimotsuki Yasuie said before? Are these people not in the same group?

The person involved didn't care much about everyone's surprise.

After Sanji put the crying Toko down, the latter cried and threw himself towards Shimotsuki Yasuie who was lying on the ground. Zoro took out the pill and fed it to him, then stood up and stared at Sanji.

Although the two did not communicate, they seemed to understand each other:

【Why are you here? 】

At the same time, the sound of Kurozumi Snake's fear and shame resounded throughout the square.

At this moment, he no longer cared about the resistance army. After Sanji and Zoro took action, he thought of a serious problem.

"You, the Straw Hat Pirates, really came to Wano Country?! Why?!"

The sudden appearance of Nami and Robin in the Shogun's Mansion had already scared him to death, but from what happened afterwards, it seemed that they did not come for him, which also gave him the illusion that the Straw Hat Pirates might not help the rebels.

But this time was different. Shimotsuki Yasuji was not only the remnant of more than ten years ago, but also one of the leaders who was trying to organize forces to resist him. When he ordered his execution, these two people suddenly took action.

The goal is very clear!

Compared to the two girls before, the two in front of them obviously occupy a more important position in the Straw Hat Pirates.

Although there is no trace of the captain and the deputy captain until now, the appearance of these two people has already explained something.

The more Kurozumi Orochi thought about it, the more terrified he became. He seemed to have seen his own end. After the Beasts Pirates stopped providing help, what power did he have to fight against such a pirate group led by two emperors?

When fear reaches its extreme, it turns into anger!

Kurozumi Orochi started to curse: "Kozuki Oden has been dead for more than ten years! Why are you helping that bastard! My Kurozumi clan has worked so hard to finally succeed in revenge and finally get this position, why are you helping Oden's remnants! What can they give you?!"

As if realizing something, Kurozumi Orochi spoke faster and faster: "What they gave you, I can give you more! Even if I can provide you with weapons, seastone, and even food and warriors to conquer the world, I will give you everything as long as you promise not to work for the remnants of Kozuki!"

Seeing Zoro and Sanji showing impatient expressions, Kurozumi Orochi gritted his teeth and raised his stakes again: "You must be here for the historical text in the hands of the Beasts Pirates. Compared with the historical text, Wano Country must be nothing in your eyes. As long as you agree to my conditions, I can help!"

"Over the past decade, I have provided Kaido with a lot of things. I know a lot of their secrets. As long as you agree, I will tell you all the secrets. I can even send people to help you attack Onigashima!"

"After you defeat them, Wano Country can continue to cooperate with you, just like what it provided to Kaido. No! I can give you more, as long as..."

As Kurozumi Orochi was speaking eloquently, he completely forgot that he had previously broadcast a live broadcast to Onigashima in order to show off.

So Ghost Island is quite quiet at the moment...

Even the aunt just smiled and stopped mocking. Everyone present felt the anger of one person.

Kaido, the King of Beasts, this guy was so angry at what Kurozumi Orochi said that he sobered up.

At this moment, he said nothing and sat quietly, but Jack and Quinn behind him were all trembling with fear, fearing that Kaido would go berserk if they disagreed with him.

Only Flame Disaster Jin could continue to speak: "Boss Kaido... Not now."

He knew how angry his boss was at the moment, and he wished he could fly directly to the Flower City and kill the giant snake. He also knew that anyone who dared to stop him would incur his wrath.

But as one of the few smart people in the pirate group and the person closest to Kaido, he still spoke.

Killing the big snake would be too easy, but it is not the right time to do it.

They cannot initiate war until the allied forces arrive.

"Are you ordering me around?!"

Kaido suddenly turned his head, his two huge pupils staring at Flame Disaster Jinn, the huge and vast murderous intent was firmly fixed on him, as if he would go berserk and kill people in the next second.

At this moment, even Jack and Quinn, who were not the targets of the murderous intent, could not help but want to escape from here.

But even so, Yan Zai Jin still sat there motionless, staring directly at Kaido without flinching, and spoke with great difficulty with a strong murderous intent: "Boss Kaido, we can't do it now."

He repeated what he had just said, which seemed to be like adding fuel to the fire. Jack, who was not very smart, had already prayed silently for Brother Jin in his heart.

To the surprise of many people, Kaido's killing intent gradually weakened after hearing this sentence...

At one side, Lafayette, who had always kept his presence low, suddenly brightened up his eyes. He looked at the still calm Flame Disaster Jinn, and then at Kaido who was gradually calming down, as if thinking about something.

As the brain trust of the Blackbeard Pirates, he is well aware of his boss's ambitions and naturally regards powerful forces including the Beasts Pirates as imaginary enemies.

Even if they can sit down and discuss cooperation in a friendly manner now, these people will eventually become enemies in the future.

So he has been collecting information about these people.

But unfortunately, even after trying very hard, he still couldn't find the past of Kaido and Jinn.

The man wrapped in black leather jacket followed Kaido as soon as he appeared. Lafayette had no idea how the two met or what kind of relationship they had before.

And today's scene made him realize that the relationship between these two people was more complicated than he had imagined.

"Interesting." Lafayette lowered his eyes and couldn't help licking his dry lips. Whenever he became very interested in something, he would subconsciously make such a move. This was a symbol of his hunger.

“It’s so interesting between these two people.”

Lafayette had seldom been so interested, and the last one had given him the same idea.

It was his captain, Blackbeard, Marshall D. Teach.

Others didn't know what Lafayette was thinking, nor did they have the energy to pay attention. They just watched Kaido gradually calm down from his rage, and then slowly said: "There won't be a next time."

These words were said to Jin, which made Jin breathe a sigh of relief, as it meant that he had convinced Kaido.

He nodded seriously: "I understand."

He knew what Kaido meant, this was his last chance to stop him.

And there is another meaning behind this sentence.

"Next time, I won't tolerate it!"

Jhin let out a slow sigh.

Yes, I won’t tolerate it anymore.

This time, whether it was the Three Emperors Alliance on Onigashima or the cooperation with the World Government, they were actually his ideas.

Kaido had no idea of ​​forming cliques from the beginning to the end. As domineering and proud as he is, how could he tolerate such an arrangement?

He just wanted to confront the Straw Hat Pirates head-on.

Win or lose, even if you die, it doesn't matter.

Because he is Kaido, the strongest creature in the world - Kaido of Beasts.

When King told him this idea, Kaido refused without thinking.

The reason is simple:

【I want to become the Pirate King! 】

How could a man who aimed to be the king tolerate someone being on equal footing with him, let alone allying himself with an enemy to deal with another enemy?

This is simply trampling on his dignity.

But Kaido finally agreed because of King's persuasion and because King was his brother who had been through thick and thin with him.

After the demise of the Rocks Pirates, when Kaido formed a new pirate group, King was his first subordinate and also his right-hand man acknowledged by himself.

Moreover, Jhin is the only one who thinks he is [Joey Boy].

Looking at Kaido's back as he turned away, Jin felt mixed emotions.

If possible, he would also like to give Kaido a good fight.

That day, Kaido broke into the Navy laboratory and asked himself, "Can you change the world?"

Without any hesitation, with an unbridled and overbearing expression on his face, he said, "Only I can change it!!!" Didn't he make up his mind?

【What is your name? 】

【Alberu.】

[You are very strong! Let’s change your name to KING! ]

[You have me protecting you! I won’t hand you over to anyone else! ! ! ]

[From today on, you will be my right-hand man!!!]

Recalling the conversation with this man, Jhin closed his eyes, ignored Jack who came close to him, and clenched his fists silently.

[Please be patient for a while, Brother Kaido. After this battle is over, I will not let you be patient with anyone or anything anymore. ]

[I will help you get the throne of Pirate King! Let you become the Joey Boy of this era! ]

-

Let’s not talk about what happened on Onigashima for now. After facing Kurozumi Orochi’s utterly shameless nonsense, Sanji and Zoro finally lost their patience.

"Hey, you guy, didn't you say you talk a lot?"

Sanji lit a cigarette and spoke slowly: "You are talking nonsense. What do we, the Straw Hat Pirates, want to do? Do I need to tell you the reason?"

"You...you guys..." Kurozumi Orochi was choked.

"I've heard the name Oden too many times recently. I'm getting tired of it."

Beside him, Zoro pointed his sword at the Kurozumi Orochi on the screen and said boldly, "I don't care what happened in this country before, including the bullshit grudges between you and the Kozuki clan."

"You want to know why?"

Zoro and Sanji looked at each other, raised their lips together, and said arrogantly:

"none of your business!"

"I am willing!"

...

The air froze for a few seconds, and Sanji and Zoro also showed embarrassed expressions on their faces.

Then, the two of them started cursing at each other without paying attention to who was around.

"Are you an idiot? I already said that's the reason, what are you talking about!"

"Huh? Why should I follow you and talk to you?"

"Why do you say that? The atmosphere just now was very awkward!"

"None of my business!"

"Don't give me that. You were clearly planning to say something harsh together!"

"none of your business!"

...

On the other side, the Straw Hat Pirates who were watching the show outside the square all covered their foreheads with their hands.

Forget it, let's just embarrass these two guys at this time. It's really embarrassing to stand with these two idiots.

Of course, the face of Kurozumi Orochi on the screen turned green.

How could he not know at this moment that these two men did not take him seriously at all?

At this moment, another voice sounded from outside the square:

"Ah, it's Zoro, Sanji and the others, Bai Ye, look quickly."

At this time, this voice undoubtedly eased the awkward atmosphere again.

However, when everyone's eyes followed the direction of the sound, they froze for a few seconds again.

On the road leading from the entrance of Flower City to the square, several ferocious beasts were pulling a treasure ship slowly forward, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

Not only that, everyone saw two figures on the treasure ship.

This is the person who has frequently appeared in everyone's sight and ears during this period, but has never been actually seen.

In the past two years, the entire sea has been in turmoil. The Straw Hat Pirates have many feats, including beating up the Celestial Dragons, fighting the World Government, attacking the Navy Headquarters, and defeating two emperor pirate groups.

The bounty of 5 billion Baileys on the [Heavenly Master] Bai Ye!

The bounty of 5 billion berries is [Straw Hat Boy] Monkey D. Luffy!

"Hey, hey, hey! Are you kidding me? Why are these two showing up at this time?!"

"...It's probably the right time for them to show up. After all, their friends have caused a big incident here."

"Is that the person with a higher bounty than Kaido? They look too young, almost like two children."

"Damn it, don't talk nonsense. If the two people above hear it, someone will die."

"Ah? Are they so cruel?"

"Nonsense, their bounty is 5 billion, they must have killed countless people at sea, maybe they just destroyed the islands they passed by."

...

Everyone was talking, but the excited Luffy didn't care. He just waved his arms and greeted the acquaintances in the square.

"Hey! Zoro, Sanji, ah, Nami and Robin are here too."

"Usopp, Chopper, Jinbe, Franky, Merry... Great, everyone is here."

Hearing this, the Straw Hat Pirates were all upset. Didn't you tell everyone to gather in the Flower Capital? Why are you looking so surprised?
