Pirate: Role-Playing System

Chapter 132: I Am Yatsunomaru (Sixth Update, Please Subscribe!)

Yatsunomaru is the leader of the "Tousan Bandit Group." Since they are a bandit group, it is only natural that they would be the target of Zaraki Kenpachi and Kozuki Hiyori's clean-up.

As a result, the two of them confronted Yatsunomaru without any hesitation. Kenpachi's attacks, which were fierce and relentless, startled Yatsunomaru.

If it weren't for Kozuki Hiyori recognizing Yatsunomaru later on, and Yatsunomaru being intelligent enough to gamble on Kenpachi's habits and take a few steps back without resisting...

He might have been killed by Zaraki Kenpachi!

It should be noted that Yatsunomaru is not weak in terms of strength. Even against Jack the Drought, who hasn't transformed with a Devil Fruit, he was able to hold his own for a while and even sent Jack's sword flying.

However, despite this...

Yatsunomaru touched the wound on his abdomen, his expression grave. "When did such an existence appear in Wano Country?"

Strong!

Truly strong!

Like a berserker, a samurai who pursues combat with the utmost purity, he is actually this strong!

Yatsunomaru squinted his eyes, deeply moved by Kenpachi's dedication to battle.

"Kenpachi... He's probably not from Wano," Kozuki Hiyori hesitated and said.

"Not from Wano? How is that possible? His name, habits, and attire are all very similar to ours," Yatsunomaru was taken aback, expressing his doubts.

Zaraki Kenpachi's clothes are the captain's haori of the Gotei 13 in the Soul Society.

His behavior also carries a hint of the Soul Society's aura.

In the eyes of the people of Wano, it is impossible to tell that he is an outsider.

"And what about the Gotei 13? What's the situation with that?" Yatsunomaru asked curiously.

The Gotei 13 sounds like an organization from Wano.

Isn't it the force left behind by Kozuki Oden, Kozuki Hiyori's father?

Although Yatsunomaru, who once followed Kozuki Oden, has never heard of this organization...

"It's probably not," Kozuki Hiyori smiled bitterly. "When the people from Kaido's pirate group heard about it, they seemed surprised too. It doesn't seem like a widely known organization from the outside world.

It's not an organization from the outside, but Zaraki Kenpachi claims to be the captain of the Eleventh Division..."

The two exchanged a glance, a hint of confusion flashing through their eyes.

But they didn't stay confused for long. Wano has been closed off for a long time, so it's possible that there are organizations from the outside that they don't know about.

Yatsunomaru quickly gave up on these thoughts and said seriously, "Princess, I want to confirm something..."

"Does that swordsman... know your identity?"

After pondering for a moment, Kozuki Hiyori shook her head. "He probably doesn't."

She understood Yatsunomaru's meaning. He wanted to know if Zaraki Kenpachi was affiliated with some outside force, and if they could use that to overthrow General Kurozumi Orochi and gain some benefits for Wano.

To be honest, they in Wano don't really care about these things. If people from other forces make sacrifices, they should naturally receive rewards.

A...

If they had the support of another force, their resistance would be much stronger!

At present, they have gathered about four thousand soldiers, most of whom are bandits, with Yatsunomaru's bandit group as the backbone.

Although they have become a considerable force with the ability to fight, they are still much weaker compared to Kaido and General Kurozumi Orochi.

If they had the help of another force, that would be great...

Kozuki Hiyori pondered for a moment and sighed, "Uncle Shutenmaru, at the beginning, I pretended to have amnesia and followed him... but now, I think Kenpachi has probably already guessed my identity."

No one is a fool, and Zaraki Kenpachi is no exception.

At first, Kozuki Hiyori's actions, such as guiding the way, could be attributed to the excuse of "although I have amnesia, I still have some vague impressions." But later actions were completely different.

With Shutenmaru's appearance, it was already obvious that Kozuki Hiyori herself went to stop Kenpachi from taking action.

But Kenpachi... never asked even a single question.

Kozuki Hiyori bit her lip, and a firm determination flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"I'm going to see him."

I don't want to hide it from him anymore.

Zaraki Kenpachi's location was easy to find. He was just quietly leaning against a corner of the house, yawning, half lying down, eyes closed, seemingly asleep.

A gust of fragrant wind swept by, but his expression didn't change at all. He just calmly said, "Hachimaru, what's up? Do you need something?"

Kozuki Hiyori's footsteps paused, and she suddenly hesitated.

How should she explain the fact that she lied to him?

Deceiving people was not a big problem for her. Even if she openly admitted to deceiving someone, she had the ability to manipulate men in the palm of her hand.

But when it came to making excuses, it wasn't so easy for her.

There were too many reasons, such as not knowing each other at first, being a princess of the Kozuki clan and needing to hide her identity, and so on...

B...

Faced with such a face, she couldn't bring herself to come up with excuses.

After hesitating for a long time, she could only speak in a low voice, "Do you know who I am, 363?"

Her words were filled with hesitation, worry, unease...

But Zaraki Kenpachi didn't even bother to get up, his eyelids didn't even twitch.

In his calm and hoarse voice, he simply answered, "Aren't you Hachimaru?"

Kozuki Hiyori was stunned, dumbfounded.

After a long time, she suddenly revealed a sweet smile.

"Yeah, I am Hachimaru.

That's enough."

On the third day, Zaraki Kenpachi, with a crazy smile on his face, led a large group of soldiers behind him and headed straight for the capital of Wano Country - Flower Capital!

They couldn't hide for too long. They were running out of food. Although they could survive for a while with the food they had looted from some farms before, there were too many people and it wasn't enough to eat!

Perhaps if they slowly gathered the former members of the Kozuki clan, they could find quite a few skilled fighters.

But there was no time!

And if they made too many moves, the general would notice.

So... why not just go straight up and launch a surprise attack on the Flower Capital!

Zaraki Kenpachi grinned, revealing a joyful and crazy expression.

"Finally, I can have a good fight!"
