Arceus's Pirate Journey

20 years ago, Kozuki Oden was defeated, and Kozuki Toki used his Toki Fruit ability to send Kozuki Momonosuke and some retainers to the future 20 years later.

Kozuki Toki himself was an ancient man from 830 years ago. With an unknown purpose, he continued to move forward into the future with the power of the Fruit of Toki, and finally came to this special era.

But the fruit of time can only move forward into the future, but cannot move forward into the past, nor can it change the location where it appears.

20 years ago, their defeat was settled. In order to prevent them from being wiped out in one fell swoop, Kozuki made this decision.

For those who stayed, 20 years was a long time. It was so long that the world had undergone tremendous changes. The beasts at the beginning could only live in a corner, but now they are able to dominate the world.

But for those who are affected by Kozuki Toki's ability, this is just a moment. For them, the time tunnel is just a blink of an eye. At this time, in the memories of Kinemon and others, Wano Country is still in the flames of war.

The country of peace in China.

Kozuki Toki had already explained his abilities before taking action, so Momonosuke, Kinemon and others still knew what happened.

In their understanding, what the beasts did before was just an illusion, all to steal the power of the Kozuki family. When they really get the power, their true colors will be revealed.

The country of Wano, which they have ruled for 20 years, should have become a purgatory by now.

Logically speaking, their current location should be Oden Castle, but this place has turned into a wilderness. This is the "evidence" in their eyes.

Even the prosperous Oden Castle has become like this, let alone other places.

These young people or old antiques 20 years ago did not understand what demolition and reconstruction of the old city meant. Moreover, during the reconstruction process, they listened to the ideas of the original owner’s sole heir, Hiyori Kozuki, and changed the area into woodland.

No other buildings were built.

"There are no pirate guards around. It seems they have forgotten us."

Lei Zang surveyed the surroundings. As a ninja, he was more suitable for this job. The results of the survey were good news for them. At least the traces of the original war had disappeared.

"This is better, but you can't be careless. Lord Oden is no match for Kaido, let alone us. The top priority is to leave Wano Country first, and we cannot let Lord Momonosuke stay in such a dangerous place."

Kinemon made the final decision for the future.

These people still have some self-awareness. Even Kozuki Oden is not a monster that they can match. They will definitely not be able to defeat him.

For this reason, they need foreign aid. Leaving Wano Country is the most important thing. There is no guard here now. Who knows whether they will be discovered after a while.

"We can't all leave. We have to find out what is happening in Wano Country now. How are the people left behind now? Let's divide the troops into two groups. Some of them will escort Momonosuke-sama away and look for foreign aid that can help us.

Some people stay here to investigate the situation in Wano. I'm a ninja and better at hiding, so just let me stay."

Lei Zang volunteered to make the suggestion to stay.

20 years ago, Ashura boy died in battle.

Denjiro, Kawamatsu, and Kikunojo stayed in Wano Country.

In addition to Momonosuke, Kinemon, Raizo, Kanjuro, Neko Viper and Inuarashi were transported to 20 years in the future. Raizo considered himself the most suitable one among these people to stay.

"First of all, we have to figure out what is going on in Wano Country. Leaving here is not an easy task. We should not spread too thin before deciding on a specific action plan. We should take care of each other if anything happens, and foreign aid

Oden-sama has failed, who can defeat Kaido?"

They have a special and mysterious admiration for Kozuki Oden. Although they have arrived 20 years later, they are still a little pessimistic. Kin'emon can't even think of where they should go.

"If you can leave here, go to Zou first. After all, there is hope there. After all, there is an ally with us."

This is Inuarashi's opinion. According to Zou's past inheritance, there is nothing wrong with his words.

"Cat Viper, where's the life card that goes back to Zuowu?"

Inuarashi's life card was already lent to Setsuna, but now he can only rely on the one on Neko Viper.

"Here, meow, I didn't lose it this time."

Neko Viper took out the life card from his body, but the frequency of the life card beating made him and Inuarashi feel something was wrong.

"It's weird, isn't Zou too close to Wano Country?"

Cat Viper still remembers the general movement area of ​​Zou. No matter how close it is, it shouldn't be this close. They don't know that in the past 20 years, Zou has changed no less than Wano Country. Whether it is here or there, the essence is

There is no difference between the above.

Except for Inarashi and Neko Viper, no one else understood what this meant. However, before Inuarashi and Neko Viper could continue to delve into this issue, Kanjuro on the side made a new discovery.

"Hey, hey, you guys come here and see what this is!"

Kanjuro just felt hungry and wanted to draw something to satisfy his hunger. Everything he drew would become a real thing, including food. Although it didn't taste like food and tasted like chewing paper, it could provide

Feeling of satiety.

When he planned to paint, he needed to clear a piece of flat land, so he cleared a patch of weeds, and under the weeds, there were actually several mini graves.

Kinemon

Kanjuro

The names of those who traveled through time are written on the tombstones above. This was left by those die-hards at the time. They didn't know what exactly Kotsuki did, they only knew that she left a prophecy for 20 years later.

Therefore, in their eyes, these missing people are dead people. In order to express their memory, they also built a tomb for them.

"This is really true."

Looking at these tombstones Kinemon, they didn't know what to say.

"This is actually a good thing. If they think we are dead, they will be less wary of us and the probability of us escaping will be greater."

Kanjuro didn't think this was a bad thing, and then shared some of the cabbage he drew with others as a temporary food tool. After a brief discussion, they also made a decision on how to act next.

.

Kinemon, Kanjuro and Raizo went to a nearby city to gather information, and Raizo was looking for hidden opportunities.

Neko Viper and Inuarashi used nearby trees to make a simple raft as a means of escaping from Wano Country.

Momonosuke also stayed in the woods for the time being. For his safety, Kinemon felt it was better not to let Momonosuke show up too early.

Kinemon then used his ability to conquer the fruit to change clothes and make some disguises for those who set out for the town, while Kanjuro drew some crude tools and left them to Inuarashi and Neko Viper.

That deliberately poorly disguised painting technique made something look like a tool from the Stone Age, but it was still better than nothing at all.

"Everyone, remember to control your emotions. No matter what cruel scenes we see, we have to endure it. For Lord Momonosuke, these are necessary."

"Um."

"Don't worry, Kin'emon, I'm ready."

Raizo and Kanjuro followed Kinemon to the outside world with heavy faces. Soon, they found a path in the forest.

As the saying goes, there is no road in the world. When there are more people walking on it, it becomes a road. This path can be seen as the traces of human beings. As long as you walk along this path, you will definitely find a place where humans gather.

It's not that they don't know the topography of Wano, but they are not sure how much has changed in the past 20 years.

Not long after, they had walked out of the mountains and forests and arrived at the bustling town of Jiuli. Along the way, they deliberately avoided older people. Such people may have an impression of them and increase their risk of exposure.

Although they had arrived at an area with surveillance cameras, they did not arouse any suspicion.

Quinn's focus was originally on the outside world. The beasts would not suddenly launch a large-scale search of the inner city until there was no news of someone intruding or infiltrating, and before the alarms in important areas were triggered.

A dog that lost its home just 20 years ago was not worth making such a big fuss.

"Kin'emon, are you sure this is hell?"

The flow of people on the street became denser, and celebratory props were hung on the houses on the street. It seemed that a festival was coming soon.

Singing and dancing lead to a prosperous age, having plenty of food and clothing, and enjoying peace. It seems like a prosperous scene in front of you. No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with hell.

If hell is really like this, then the shuttle bus to hell will probably be full.

"It's fake. It must be fake. These are all illusions, and they are illusions used to deceive the people."

A thief spent 20 years turning the country of Wano into an ideal one. Even if they were killed, they would not believe it.

After some searching, Kinemon found his target, a few delinquents who looked young.

This kind of kid usually runs around and knows more about some information. As a former gangster leader, Kinemon also knows better how to communicate with this kind of kid.

"Hey, you guys! Come here, I have something to ask you!"

Kinemon's thinking was still stuck 20 years ago. Being too soft towards such bad guys would make them feel easy to bully, so his tone seemed a bit stiff.

"What do you want to do? Old-fashioned uncle? My grandfather would never dress as old-fashioned as you."

"Stop talking nonsense. I'll ask and you answer. If you answer correctly, these will be given to you."

Kinemon picked up a bag and shook it, and there was a sound of metal colliding inside. When he was a gangster, he often used this method to get information from ordinary gangsters.

"Where is your cameraman? Has the program style changed again?"

The villain in front of him said something that Kinemon could not understand. This was also the change in Wano Country over the years, providing more entertainment methods and allowing people to have more entertainment projects to release their emotions during their breaks.

The television sets that began to spread in Wano also promoted the development of some local TV programs in Wano.

These programs are commonly known as variety shows, and street quizzes are also traditional formats.

"What did you say?"

"Hey, okay, then I'll cooperate with you. What questions do you have? I'll definitely be able to answer them correctly."

The villain in front of him had already mistook Kinemon for being the host of a comedy show, but Kinemon did not delve into the issue and began to ask some key questions.

"Okay, first question, how is the Black Carbon Orochi?"

"Huh? Are you doing some retro history Q&A? Even if I'm not good at studying, I still know this kind of thing, okay? That liar, Black Carbon Orochi, was killed by Lord Mingou 20 years ago."
