Super Dimensional Pirates in Pirates

"Half a month ago, the Big Mom Pirates' fleet discovered the island where the Red-haired Pirates were hiding. After a battle, the Red-haired Pirates were defeated and retreated..."

"The Big Mom pirates took the opportunity to seize the island controlled by the red-haired pirates. The territory of the red-haired pirates was reduced by half within ten days."

"Nao, the great pirate king who has been occupying Beehive Island, defeated the fleeing Red-haired Pirates at sea and annexed the other half of the Red-haired Pirates' territory."

"In just two months, Yonko Shanks lost to the Dawn Pirates, Big Mom Pirates, and Wang Zhi Pirates. They were defeated one after another, losing all their territory, and the red hair also lost his reputation as the Emperor of the Sea.

Number."

"And the great pirate Wang Zhi relied on his military strength and territory to become the new emperor of the sea!"

"That's what the report said..." Eric finished reading the news and handed the newspaper to others to read.

Kisame Kisaki spoke up: "Although the New World is the territory of the Four Emperors, there are also many big pirates who disobey the Four Emperors... Wang Zhi deserves our attention."

"It seems that Wang Zhi has been occupying Honeycomb Island since the Rocks Pirates collapsed."

Nakahara Chuuya gloated: "The Red-haired Pirates were in bad luck this time and lost more than half of their crew."

Eric sighed: "Red hair will always be a big problem."

Kuang San asked: "Are we going to get the red-haired head?"

Eric shook his head: "...No, take all these treasures back to the mainland first, and then execute the rebels. Then go and get something from BigMom."

…

The depths of the dungeons of China are damp and dark. Ordinary people would definitely feel uncomfortable if they stayed in such a place for a long time, but the prisoners obviously had no right to complain.

"Tick-tock" The liquid seeping from the rock cracks on the roof of the cave gathered at the top of the stalagmite, and finally fell to the ground reluctantly.

"Denjiro..." A voice, accompanied by faint footsteps, came from the other side of the dungeon.

Denjiro, with his hands tied behind his back and his legs sitting cross-legged, with a decadent look on his face, weakly replied: "...who?"

"It's me." Shuangyue Kangjia, who had a dark blue afro, led a man and a woman in.

"...Lord Yasushi!" Not only Denjiro, but also the cats beside him, Viper and Inuarashi, also recognized the person.

"Alas!" Shuangyue Kangjia did not tie his head with a scarf and showed his appearance openly. He sighed and asked: "Why don't you discuss such a big thing as launching a coup with me!?"

"...If I tell Lord Kang, you won't agree with me, right?" Denjiro replied.

"Since you know, why do you still do this-"

"I don't think what I did was wrong." Denjiro leaned forward and put his face close to the cage: "Wano Country used to be ruled by generals, and each region was governed by each daimyo. The samurai obeyed the daimyo and the generals; look at it now

How can this country still have any trace of the original appearance of Wano?"

"Isn't it you who made us the patron saint of Wano Country!?"

"..." Shuangyue Kang's family fell into silence. Cat Viper moved his eyes and looked at the man and woman behind Kang's family.

The man wears a pair of high wooden clogs, a red Tengu mask on his head, a Tengu-shaped outfit, and a pair of white wings on his back.

The woman was wearing a set of pink clothes, and her head was covered by a pink hat. She looked extremely large, fat and short, which was clearly reflected in her body.

"Who are these two?" Cat Viper waited for the Kang family to introduce them.

"I'll rescue you right now!" Without waiting for the Kang family to reply, the woman in pink clothes put her hands on the railing and said, "Let me mature and decay!"

Who would have thought that as soon as the woman put her hands on the iron railing, she fell limp and powerless.

The woman said weakly: "What is this?"

"...You are a Devil Fruit user, right?" Inuarashi said in a calm tone: "This cage is made of sea stone. The ability of the user will not have any effect on this cage, and it will also be affected by touching the cage.

And the whole body was paralyzed."

"Xiao Ren!" The Kang family pulled Xiao Ren away. As soon as his palms left the cage, Xiao Ren immediately regained his energy. The Kang family scolded: "How did you promise me before!?"

"I..." Shinobu lowered his head and bit his lip with his teeth: "I couldn't bear it when I saw the look of Denjiro and the others."

"Remember, prison robbery is a capital crime!" Kang family warned in a stern tone, turning to look at Denjiro: "Since I can't persuade you, let him persuade you..."

"Who?" Denjiro was stunned.

Denjiro still respects the Shigetsuki Yasu family. In order to help Oden, Denjiro and others secretly disguised themselves to steal the Shigetsuki Yasu family's property. In the end, they failed and were caught. However, the Shigetsuki Yasu family did not punish them, but gave the money to them.

Let them become the patron saints of Wano.

Times have changed, Denjiro is now a death row prisoner, and the Shigetsuki Yasu family has also lost its daimyo position and has become a commoner.

The man behind the Kang family stepped forward and took a few steps forward with his high wooden clogs. He took off his Tengu mask and said, "I came specifically to find the Shuoyue Kang family..."

"You, you are——!?"

Denjiro, Neko Viper, and Inuarashi opened their eyes wide and immediately recognized the man's true identity: "You are Kozuki Sukiyaki-sama!"

They wanted to kneel down, but the shackles on their bodies stopped them.

"Alas..." Sukiyaki sighed: "Denjiro, Neko Viper, and Inuarashi, the loyalty of the three of you will surely make Oden happy."

"Sukiyaki-sama, if you raise your arms and give a shout-out, then all the samurai and people of Wano Country..."

"I am the chief culprit for the black charcoal snake taking over the country. How can I have the nerve to tell others that I am still living shamelessly..."

"——!?"

"When I escaped from the secret room of confinement, Oden was dead, Wano Country had also changed, and I also had the idea of ​​committing seppuku..."

"However, in the end, I continued to live shamelessly. It is precisely because of this that I was able to see someone save the country from the hands of Black Carbon Orochi and Kaido..."

"Sukiyaki-sama, why did you let Eric change the name of Wano Country?"

"..." Sukiyaki lowered his gaze, staring at the waterlogged ground for a moment, and then raised his eyes to look at Denjiro: "At least, Eric, who occupies this country, really wants to govern this country...

"

"..."

"The so-called 'politics' and 'governance' are very tiring. I used to be a general, so I know how much money Eric spent on this country... That is an amount you can't imagine."

"Even if you turn into an ugly boy every night to rob the rich and give to the poor, you can't compare to the decree issued by Eric."

"These decrees make me feel ashamed. I believe that in his hands, this country will become more and more prosperous——"

Inuarashi murmured: "Sukiyaki-sama..."

"I no longer have the face to call myself a general, nor do I have the face to return to this country..." Sukiyaki turned to look at the three of them, and said sadly: "If I could, I really want to go back a few months ago to stop you.

Such stupid behavior, in this way, you may not die..."

"Sukiyaki-sama!" Xiao Ren said anxiously: "But, I want to save them..."

"You told me at the time that you wanted to see them one last time, so I brought you in!" The Kang family yelled at Xiao Ren: "Do you know that Guina, who spoke for me, will be implicated by you!?"

"At that time, when Oden-sama lost to Kaido, this country was already finished..." Shigetsuki Yasuie made it clear.

"certainly not--!"

"Xiao-nin!" Denjiro stopped Xiao-nin who was retorting loudly and said, "You are Kozuki Oden's retainer, right?"

"Of course!" Xiao Ren replied loudly.

"Then live for us and witness the future of this country with your own eyes... Don't make fearless sacrifices. You alone cannot be the opponent of the Dawn Pirates."

"...!?" Shinobu opened his eyes wide and looked at Denjiro in disbelief.

Inuarashi also advised: "We are dead, but Shinobu, you still have a chance to live."

Cat Viper curled her lips: "I was supposed to die with Oden-sama at that time. I survived for more than ten years and even heard the news of Kaido's death. I have lived a good life."

"Then I will die with you...!" Xiao Ren blurted out.

Denjiro interrupted: "No, have you forgotten, what Oden-sama said about twenty years..."

"Denjiro..." Shinobu looked at Denjiro blankly.

"I can't live until that time, but you can." Denjiro showed a smile: "We have always believed in Lord Oden. Although we failed to drive away the pirates who occupied Wano Country, but..."

"There are still seven years until the prophecy period mentioned by Oden-sama. If someone really defeats the Dawn Pirates and defeats 'Kui Long' Eric, you will definitely witness it with your own eyes. At that time, come to us again."

It’s not too late to reunite!”

"We will mercilessly laugh at Eric, Kaido, and the thieves who occupied Wano in hell!"

"Can you do it? Shinobu!" Denjiro emphasized his tone, leaving the important task of witnessing and guiding the future to Shinobu.

"Woo..." Xiao Ren had tears in his eyes and his voice was choked with sobs, but he loudly conveyed it to the three of them: "Xiao Ren will fulfill his mission and complete this task!"

"Very good!" Denjiro said, "This is Kozuki Oden's retainer!"

"...Denjiro, are you retaining the fire of resistance?" Sukiyaki could tell at a glance.

Denjiro was noncommittal and said: "Sukiyaki-sama, if anyone can defeat the Dawn Pirates, it must be Kin'emon and the others."

"If things go against expectations, Shinobu-chan can continue to live without incident; if, as Lord Oden said, outsiders come to overthrow Eric's rule, Shinobu-chan can help them, and that's okay, right?"

"..." Sukiyaki closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and finally gave up persuading these stubborn guys. He turned to look at Xiao Ren: "Listen, General of Wano Country, Sukiyaki is dead.

Now I am just an old knifesmith."

"Xiao Ren, don't do anything in my name from now on, and don't spread my deeds to anyone."

Xiao Ren knelt down on one knee and pursed his lips tightly: "Yes."

Denjiro asked: "Sukiyaki-sama, don't you go and see your granddaughter?"

"No, my presence will only make it difficult for her. My incompetent grandfather has made my granddaughter suffer a painful childhood and youth. At least, I hope she can live happily..."

Denjiro asked: "Do you think Hiyori-sama is happy now?"

Sukiyaki glanced at him: "If you had not rebelled under the banner of restoring Wano, her current situation would be much better."

"..." Denjiro was silent. His rebellious behavior did bring unnecessary trouble to Princess Hiyori. If Eric punished Princess Hiyori as well...

"This matter has been committed, and Hiyori has not been implicated in any way. We should really thank Eric for his generosity..." Sukiyaki said and shook his head:

"If I were the leader of this country, Hiyori would definitely be demoted to a commoner, living on the streets, and let the whole country spurn her..."

"..." Denjiro gritted his teeth and lowered his head in shame. For his own selfish reasons, he caused Lord Oden's daughter to live on the street. He would not have the face to face Lord Oden if he went underground...

The Kang family, Sukiyaki, and Xiao Ren took one last look at the three people in the prison. Sukiyaki put on the Tengu mask again and followed the Shigetsuki Yasu family. Xiao Ren followed the two of them three times and left the prison.

The place where Denjiro and the three of them live.

The dungeon fell into silence again.

Inu Arashi suddenly said: "Old cat, I never thought that I would end up staying with you for so long..."

"Hmph!" Cat Viper bared its sharp teeth and replied rudely: "If it weren't for lack of space, I would...!"

"Haven't you two quarreled enough?" Denjiro sighed: "Why are the two of us who were such good friends now constantly shouting and killing each other?"

"..."

"..."

Neither of them said a word. Denjiro continued: "If it is for Oden-sama, then it should not be like this. If Oden-sama Izumi knew about it, how sad would Oden-sama be?"

"Alas!" Cat Viper took a long breath and said, "Denjiro, you are right!"

Inuarashi also said: "I am ashamed to teach Oden-sama!"

The two looked at each other, and Inuarashi spoke first: "We are going to die anyway, so there is no point in continuing to argue. Let's call it a truce, old cat. I don't want to argue with you all the way to hell."

"That's right, let's just talk normally from now on..." Cat Viper looked away.

The camera hidden in the dark recorded all the images and sounds. Otherwise, several members of the Dawn Pirates would not trust anyone to visit the condemned prisoners.

"I didn't expect that the old man was the emperor who took office."

"Are we going to arrest them?"

"Let's report it to Eric first and let him make his decision."

"Oh?" Eric was stunned when he received the call: "Kotsuki Sukiyaki, he's not dead yet?"

"Well, I was also surprised." Yamato said, "I didn't expect Oden's father to be alive."

"The cruel black charcoal snake didn't kill Sukiyaki... This country may be hiding some secrets..." Eric whispered to himself.

"Ah? Eric, what did you just say?"

"Nothing, just talking to myself."

"Eric, what are we going to do with these guys?"

"Wait until I go back. I can already see the waterfalls in China!"
