Chapter 814: Being Targeted by a Fierce Beast

"The courtesan just now was called Xiao Zi? Haha, she's really pretty."

"Come to think of it, he does look pretty good."

"It's just so-so. I think it's still a little bit worse than Robin and Hancock."

"Mr. Lynch, your evaluation is too subjective, isn't it?"

"If you take into account the Japanese-style clothes she wears, deduct an extra 20 points. Compared with my princess and empress, she is even worse."

"Mr. Lynch, that's even more subjective."

"Brother Hei, I'm so sleepy..."

"I smell wine, Lynch, go over there."

After leaving the entertainment area, Lin Qi and others walked around and soon found a tavern to sit down.

Most of those who could stay in the Flower City were merchants and craftsmen. Ordinary residents who had no output were all driven out by the Great Snake. They either farmed in surrounding towns, or became thieves or ronin and were arrested by the Great Snake's troops, or were simply thrown into prison or stuffed into black factories.

This approach is actually causing Wano Country to slowly die. The prosperous and bustling Flower Capital will sooner or later become like the outside world, and Kaido's factory will sooner or later be built here.

"Big Snake really doesn't understand. Is this the way to self-destruction?" Robin looked around, sat down next to Lynch, recalled what he had seen and heard along the way, and shook his head.

Outside, Kaido is gradually encroaching on the five villages around Flower Capital. Inside, Orochi's tyranny is unpopular. In a few years, without any action, Flower Capital will become a place no different from Hakumai and Usagi. Kaido will take over the entire Wano Country. Pirates don't need a complete country, they just need a land where they can indulge in revelry and a bunch of people to drive and exploit. After the scourge is over and enough money is made, they can invade the next place.

Lin Qi said indifferently: "Maybe what the big snake wants is destruction?"

Kurozumi Orochi has a grudge against the Kozuki family. In order to take revenge, he would destroy the Wano Country that has belonged to Kozuki for 800 years. I am afraid he would not hesitate at all. Instead, he made friends with Kaido and the World Government in this way. Orochi thought that even if Wano Country was completely ruined in the future, Orochi could walk away with a big smile and live a carefree life in another place without any psychological burden. He would even feel the pleasure of revenge.

Of course, this is Lynch's opinion. He also doubts whether the coward in the comics who shivered in the hot bath after hearing the prophecy left by Kozuki really thought this way, or whether he was simply short-sighted and had a problem with his brain. If it was the latter, then it was really ridiculous that Kozuki Oden, who was a brother to Whitebeard and made Pirate King Roger kneel down and kowtow to beg, ended up falling into the hands of such a thing.

They ate and drank in the tavern. Although the owner thought they were dressed strangely, there were white clouds around them, and the man with the afro looked like a skeleton, he didn't care as long as he had business to do. Since they were not bad guests, he served them well. Soon, the food and drinks were served. - Wano Country is a closed country. Ordinary people are isolated from the news. They don't know what pirates are out in the sea. They haven't read the newspaper of the World Economic Society, and have never seen the bounty order of Lin Qi and others. Naturally, they can't recognize the identities of these people.

"Went to the tavern?" When Kyoshiro received the news from his men, he didn't know what to say. Didn't they know who they were? They didn't even disguise themselves, just walked around the Flower Capital for so long, and even went into the tavern to eat. The news must have reached Orochi, and perhaps even Kaido...

What is the relationship between Lynch and Kaido? Are they enemies? Or friends?

Kyoshiro is just a gangster leader in Flower Capital, and Orochi will not be so kind as to share all the outside information with him, so Kyoshiro does not know the specific origin of the ripple messenger on the 5 billion bounty order, and what deeds he has done. Orochi has been ravaging Wano Country for more than 20 years, and there will no longer be news birds delivering newspapers, and ordinary people will no longer get them.

If Lynch and Kaido are friends, that would be the worst outcome. And if they are enemies... Kyoshiro doesn't think that's good news. Once these two top powers go to war, it's hard to say who will win or lose. If they fight for ten days and ten nights, Wano Country will tremble in that terrifying battle for ten days and ten nights. If the invincible Blue Dragon Kaido wins, what kind of wrath will Wano Country bear?

Kaido has the Three Calamities and the Flying Six under his command, each of whom is a very strong master. There are also the Sequencers, the Zombie Corps... The entire Onigashima is Kaido's army, and Lynch and his men are only a few people? "Keep watching." Kyoshiro said to his men, "Don't do anything extra, just watch them from a distance to see where they go."

Given the unscrupulous style of these people, they probably won't hide their whereabouts.

"Mr. Zoro, where did you get lost?"

In the tavern, Brook was questioning Zoro with a very sincere attitude, but Zoro was very embarrassed and annoyed, "They disappeared on their own!"

Robin smiled and said, "If a lost person knew when he was lost, he might not be lost."

"So I'm not lost! I just got separated from them..."

Lynch also said to Zoro sincerely: "When everything is fine in the future, Zoro, you must let Chopper check it carefully to see if there is any... um, loophole in the nervous system?"

"Or you can talk to Kerla," Robin said with a smile, remembering someone's experience of using the Gas Fruit, "ask her to give you the Gas Fruit. The user of the Gas Fruit will gain a very strong sense of direction and space. If you can still get lost like this..."

A few people were able to tease Zoro, who was furious and drank several cups of wine. Meili stood on tiptoe, dipped a little wine with chopsticks, and held it in front of Thundercloud Ymir.

Ymir pushed her glasses up, moved closer curiously, sniffed, opened her mouth and bit the chopsticks stained with wine, and soon, an anthropomorphic blush appeared on Baiyun's cheeks...

…

〖Jiuli, outside Yutian City, Toushan——〗

The Fire Cloud Susanoo floated above everyone's head, overlooking the chaotic samurai - or thieves. Ronin samurai are not doing well these days. Many of them have patched clothes and have been reduced to hiding in the mountains. How good can their conditions be? Being able to maintain physical strength and not fall, and still have the strength to hold the sword in hand, is already considered an outrageous physical condition for humans in this world. You can survive with a little food.

The warriors had experienced a fierce battle and were divided into two camps. They were all wounded and bleeding.

On one side are the thieves led by Shutenmaru, the leader of the Toyama bandit gang, who was once Ashura Douji, one of Kozuki Oden's retainers. On the other side are Kanjuro, a pale-faced man who wears kabuki-style makeup and uses a huge brush as a weapon, and the down-and-out samurai led by the fat monk on his left and right.

The two sides had fought and were now arguing, their eyes red and their anger soaring.

Ashura Douji's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Kanjuro, you killed so many of my men, are you just going to let it go?! Don't think that I won't kill you just because everyone worked for Oden in the past."

Kanjuro flew into a rage, waving his pen and scolding, "Are you crazy too! It was your men who suddenly went crazy and attacked me! I had no choice but to fight back and accidentally killed a few of them. What does this have to do with me? Do you want me to just give myself up when I'm attacked by your men and I don't know what's going on? There's no such thing in the world!"

He splashed ink to draw a silly and cute Western-style flying dragon, which roared and rushed towards the Asura camp.

"Then there's nothing to say, let's keep killing!" Ashura's eyes turned red, he drew his sword and cut the black dragon into two pieces, then rushed towards Kanjuro and the others.

"Have you had enough!!!"

Kikunosuke smashed the mask to the ground, completely losing her usual feminine gentleness, and roared, "Is it time for you to kill each other now? Kaido is still here, and Orochi is still here! Every time you kill one more samurai, you are helping Kaido and Orochi to reduce one enemy! Even if Ashura's men go crazy first, so what? Even if Kanjuro goes crazy, so what? We'll talk about these later! Our enemies now are Orochi and Kaido!! Our goal is to save Wano Country! The reason we've lived to this day is to repay the debt we owed for not being able to die with Lord Oden for 19 years!!!"

The voice that used to be clear and gentle now sounded a little shrill. Kanjuro, Ashura and others stopped their swords and looked towards Kikunosuke.

Kikunosuke held the clay pot in his arms and said with tears in his eyes, "I didn't even have time to bury my brother Izo's ashes... What about you, at this time, you are fighting among yourselves? Kanjuro, Ashura, I really want to kill you with one sword!" His eyes were red, and he pointed to the direction of the dilapidated Oden Castle that could be vaguely seen not far away, "Lord Oden, Lord Toki, and the tombstones of the others are all there, have you forgotten?"

Clank, clank, the swords in many people's hands slipped to the ground, even Kanjuro cried out in pain. Ashura looked at Oden Castle with a gloomy face and remained silent.

Not far away, Marco, who could not find a reason to attack, watched all this silently. On the Fire Cloud Susanoo, Luffy was originally going to fight for fun, but the atmosphere of these samurai was too serious, and he could not figure out the situation. Marco also stopped him from intervening casually. Luffy, who felt bored, had already fallen asleep on the Fire Cloud and did not watch the samurai's ethical drama.

Just when the group of people were about to reconcile, a figure waving white wings flew over from a distance. The swordsmith Fei Che grabbed a skull flag of the Beasts Pirates and shouted: "I know why those people lost their minds! It's all because of this-" Before he finished speaking, Ashura Douji's pupils shrank, and several of his men on his left and right suddenly jumped up and drew their swords to slash at his back.

Poof! Kanjuro and Kikunosuke stopped these people from behind Ashura. Kanjuro was slashed in the chest, and blood spurted out.

"You guys..." Ashura widened his eyes.

Several thieves and warriors had red eyes as they slashed wildly in the puzzled looks of their companions.

"Luffy." Marco called out.

On the fire cloud, Luffy suddenly opened his eyes, grinned, turned his head and glanced, and then the invisible Conqueror's Haki swept out directly. At the same time, Marco held the power of earthquake and punched out! The impact of Conqueror's Haki and the power of earthquake directly knocked everyone to the ground, and the thieves and samurai who suddenly went crazy foamed at the mouth and fainted.

Luffy frowned and said, "They look like Lao Kang!"

Marco solemnly went to check on the thieves and samurai who were stunned by Luffy's domineering color. Ashura Douji and others knew Marco and did not stop him. Marco also treated the injured Kanjuro.

"Are you Hitetsu, the swordsmith from the Weikasa Village?" Kikunosuke covered his wound and stared at the old man with long hair wearing a black Tengu mask, wooden clogs, and white wings on his back. "What's going on? You said you knew why they went crazy?"

Fei Che put away the skull flag of the Beasts Pirates and said to Ashura Douji and others who were also staring at him seriously: "I can explain, but what is more urgent now is to let this doctor from the outer sea come with me... The person you are looking for needs treatment now."

…

〖Jiuli, Bianli Village——〗

The whole village looked like it had been swept by a typhoon, and was in ruins. Nine out of ten houses were empty, all destroyed by the pirates, and many corpses of villagers were hung on trees and piled on the roadside.

Ace's face was gloomy. He jumped off the Fire Cloud Roger, stepped on the flame pillar, and rushed to the tree house where Xiaoyu and her master Feiche lived.

No one.

After walking around the bare little house, Ace took a deep breath and sighed.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

When they arrived at the river, Ace's Observation Haki had scanned the entire village over and over again, but could not find any trace of living creature.

Ace scooped up a handful of river water to quench his thirst, and looked ahead. Across a large lake, there was the location of Onigashima where Kaido was. A few years ago, when Ace rushed over, Kaido was out fighting and was not at home. Ace accidentally met Kaido's daughter Yamato who stayed on Onigashima.

I'm sorry, Yamato, my brother will defeat your father... Ace smiled and thought that if Kaido was defeated, then Yamato, who hated his father, wouldn't need to apologize, right?

"Roger, you stay here. If something happens, shoot fire at the sky." Ace packed up and prepared to meet up with Luffy and Marco. He told his fire cloud, "If I need you, I will also shoot fire fists at the sky. Got it?"

"Yeah!" Fire Cloud Roger nodded, and Ace smiled with satisfaction, "You're a good boy, Roger."

"Huh?" Roger looked puzzled. Although it was made from a piece of Ace's soul, it did not have Ace's memories.

“Haha!” Ace was laughing and was about to turn into flames and fly away quickly, but his face suddenly changed. He held his stomach and frowned, “What’s going on? Why do I still have a stomachache? — No, is it this river water?”

Kaido's factory, pollution, river water...

What he saw and heard after entering Wano Country this time, and what Lao Kang, Sanji, Franky and others said, emerged in Ace's mind. The young man with freckles and a big beard suddenly looked gloomy. Xiaoyu lives by drinking such river water? ...

[Rabbit Bowl, weapons factory——]

In the bustling factory, there was the constant rumbling sound of machines running, mixed with the weak sounds of workers toiling, the cursing, whipping, and scolding of the pirates from the Beasts Pirates who were managing the factory... and of course, the crying, begging, and wailing of those being scolded.

All of these flooded into Sanji's ears, who had a good observation Haki.

"Calm down, shhh, calm down Sanji."

Usopp grabbed Sanji's arm and whispered, "Don't forget our goal. At least we should understand the operation of these factories first. It would be best if we can find out the distribution of factories in the entire Wano Country..."

At this moment, with the help of Usopp, Sanji and he turned into transparent invisible men, walking silently in the weapons factory with billowing black smoke and poor environment.

Sanji resisted the urge to kick this hellhole over, and investigated with Usopp. Even though they walked by closely and entered the factory management office and operation room, the beast pirates wearing horns on their heads were completely unaware of the two of them... Usopp made a stack of documents transparent, held it in his hand and showed it to Sanji, who said speechlessly, "How can I read it if it's transparent?"

"Huh? You can't see it?" Usopp was stunned and looked down at the document in his hand. "But I can see it... Oh, I see. Only I, a transparent person, can see what has been made transparent by my own ability."

"I'm telling you..." Sanji grabbed Usopp's collar with tears in his eyes, "You must cherish this ability! Don't ever run to the women's bathhouse..."

Usopp complained: "I wouldn't do that. Isn't that too vulgar?"

"Who are you calling disgusting?" Sanji said unhappily.

"Did I say that to you?!" Usopp made a slash with his hand, "Don't put yourself in my shoes... Ugh!"

His mouth was suddenly covered by Sanji. Usopp listened attentively. The conversation of the passing Beasts Pirates came into his ears: "...I heard that there is an 'invisible ghost' roaming around recently. The news came from the Taoyuan farm in Jiuli a while ago. It seems that the food was stolen? Anyway, we must also strengthen our vigilance here. Compared with those food and fruits, these weapons of Lord Kaido are more precious..."

Sanji and Usopp looked at each other in bewilderment. A transparent ghost? Taoyuan farmland?

We haven't had the chance to go there yet! No, we haven't even heard of that place!

Sanji frowned, "Ignore them for now and do our own thing."

…

〖Rabbit Bowl Prison——〗

Nami the thief did not leave empty-handed. After she had searched the entire prison thoroughly, Xinwang finally had time to pay attention to things other than gold, silver and treasures.

What is that? Nami found a deep cell. She ignored the fence-like cell and walked through it calmly. She, the incarnation of lightning, ignored the barrier of the cage like flowing water. There was lightning on her body, especially in her eyes. The lightning was so strong that it was like two flashlights illuminating the situation in the deep cage.

Nami looked closely and saw that the person curled up in the cage was a pretty cute fishman.

…

〖Flower City——〗

Zoro was very depressed by these guys who took advantage of their age to tease him. He could only drink in silence. While drinking, he touched his waist and suddenly remembered something important.

"Oh no, my sword!" He stood up and said, "The Wado Ichimonji was stolen by a strange guy, and I accidentally came here because I was chasing that guy..."

Brook said: "Isn't this too careless? That is Wado Ichimonji, one of the great swords!"

Robin said: "Shouldn't the point be that he accidentally got lost and ended up in the Flower City?"

Lin Qi did not speak. Zoro and the others looked at him, and suddenly their faces changed. They all raised their heads and looked in one direction, their eyes seemed to pass through the ceiling of the tavern and look into the distant sky.

Zoro looked serious, and Brook asked suspiciously: "Could that be..."

"It seems that we are being targeted by wild beasts."

Lin Qi stood up and dusted off his clothes. "Let's go. Didn't Zoro's knife get stolen? Let's go for a walk. Brook has the Autumn Water hanging on his waist. If the other party wants to steal the knife, he will definitely be interested."

"It was stolen from me, not robbed," Zoro corrected.

"Go out for a walk?" Brooke said with interest, "That's great, let's go to the Linghou Cemetery, take this Autumn Water, and pay tribute to Mr. Longma."
