Chapter 815 Kaido: Lynch, come and kill me!
〖Flower City, General's Mansion——〗
Kurozumi Orochi was having a banquet, drinking and having fun, when suddenly one of his Oniwaban Fukurokuju appeared quietly and whispered a few words in his ear. Then the face of the general Orochi, who looked like a wretched and treacherous man, suddenly changed.
"Lynch?!"
Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Orochi's forehead. "How could he appear in Wano Country? In the Flower Capital?!"
Although he was at odds with the Kozuki family, Orochi grew up in the closed country of Wano. He was proud of the strength of the samurai country and usually looked down on the guys from the sea. He didn't care much about the so-called pirates with high or low bounties. Pirates and mountain bandits were just some distant names.
However, at a banquet on Onigashima during a fireworks festival, Kaido once mentioned this man named Lynch.
"That old fellow Whitebeard is also dead..."
That day, Kaido was drunk.
He was so drunk that he didn't even bother to control his domineering aura, and invisibly shook many of his subordinates to pieces. Orochi still relied on the power of the Snake Snake Fruit, the Mythical Beast, and the Yamata no Orochi form to barely keep his mind calm in this violent storm of domineering aura, but he saw Kaido drinking one pot after another, laughing wildly and saying, "Looking at the sea, how many people can be called the strongest now? I count as one, Linlin counts as one, Red Hair counts as one, who else?"
"I know, it's you, Lynch!"
Kaido rose up, transformed into a dragon, rode the clouds and mist, and went crazy at the night sky, "If you and I fight, who will die? Who will live? Only death can make people truly alive! Lynch, Giovanna Giorno... are you the one who is qualified to kill me? Oh, I can't wait!"
A year later, Orochi recalled the drunken madness of Kaido that day and felt a chill. This is Kaido! The strongest creature in the world, Blue Dragon Kaido! The Kaido who defeated the invincible Kozuki Oden! Even such a Kaido recognized that Lynch was a strong man who could fight him...
And such a dangerous guy has really come to Wano Country today! And in the Flower Capital! Right under his nose!
Even the delicious food and wine lost their taste. The snake felt cold all over and wished it could take a boiling water bath immediately.
"General!" Suddenly, another figure flashed, also a ninja from the Oniwabanshu, one of Fukurokuju's ten subordinates. He came to report the latest news, that Lin Qi and his companions had just left the Flower Capital and headed east to Suzuko...
"She's gone!" Hearing this, the snake heaved a long sigh of relief, "It's good that she's gone. Hahaha, come on, let's continue eating and drinking! Where's the courtesan? How can such a banquet be without the company of the courtesan? Xiao Zi, my Xiao Zi, someone go and invite my Xiao Zi over!"
…
[Travel]
"Gone?"
When Kyoshiro received the information from his subordinates, his expression changed several times. Finally, he decided to go and investigate in person to see what the purpose of this Ripple Messenger and his group coming to Wano Country was.
He took off the large dogtail grass wig on his head and changed his clothes, looking like an ordinary down-and-out wanderer. When he was about to push the window and slip out, a soft female voice came from behind him.
"Kyoshiro."
It was Hiyori-sama. The bloodline of Oden-sama. The heir of the Kozuki family. It was also the oiran Komurasaki that he had personally trained.
Kyoshiro stopped at the window sill, and the courtesan behind him said calmly: "If you die, I will be completely alone."
"..." Kyoshiro turned around, "Kinemon, they will definitely show up. I'm going!"
With a whoosh, the ronin disappeared onto the rooftops of the street outside.
Xiao Zi stood by the window with a calm expression. After a long time, she closed the window and walked behind the ukiyo-e screen. The figure of the courtesan took off her clothes and sat in front of the dressing mirror. Not long after, a "man" wearing coarse cloth and with an ordinary face, like an ordinary passerby, jumped onto the eaves, pushed open the secret compartment, and left from somewhere else. No one knew where he went.
…
〖Flower City, outside the city——〗
Although they had been following those people for two kilometers, Satou, Monet, and Buffalo still did not feel safe, as if the man walking with "Kujo Jolyne" would turn around and stare at them coldly at any moment... Fortunately, although they were scared all the way, such a thing did not come true.
Entering the north after the bell, it seemed as if we had suddenly stepped from the warm spring into the harsh winter. Heavy snow fell.
Monet raised her hand to catch the snowflakes and whispered, "This kind of environment is very good for me..." As a natural snow-snow fruit holder, she didn't feel cold at all even though she was wearing only a single piece of clothing in such a freezing cold place.
"That's right, Monet, who is known as the Snow Girl, you will be stronger in the snow." Buffalo agreed, "Maybe even against that Lin Qi, you will be able to fight."
"Haha." Sandang laughed for some unknown reason. The three of them fell silent. Do they have the strength to fight against Lin Qi? If they asked themselves, they themselves did not believe such words.
So why are we here? Why don't we give up on revenge?
Dover... Young Master...
If you give up your hatred just because the enemy is strong, wouldn't that be tantamount to betraying your former loyalty and betraying the "family" that you once at least felt warm from?
One kilometer ahead, Seniole, who possessed the Parahuman Swimming Fruit, swam quietly in the snow like a silent shark, following behind Lynch and the others, with only a pair of eyes wearing sunglasses showing on the ground, following the enemies who killed Young Master Dover... There will always be a chance. When Lynch and the others come to the territory of the Four Emperors, they will always clash with Kaido.
As long as Lynch fights Kaido, we will always have a chance to succeed. Whether it is risking our lives, or finding a chance for Sucrose to touch Lynch, using her Childlike Fruit ability to turn Lynch into a toy while completely erasing Lynch's existence... there is always a chance.
With this thought in mind, Senior followed behind patiently without saying a word.
“Who are these people?”
Kyoshiro, disguised as a northern ronin, discovered his "colleagues". Unlike Lynch and his companions, Satoshi and his companions had long since changed into local clothing and had been lurking in the country for some time. Even Kyoshiro could not tell that these people were unusual from such a distance, and only thought that they were thieves or ronin samurai who were targeting Lynch and his ostentatious outer sea people.
"Besides a ferocious beast, there seem to be a few small bugs targeting us."
Zoro talked as he walked, holding the two swords, Sandaime Kitetsu and Setsui, on his waist. Without the Wado Ichimonji, he always felt that it was not convenient to use them and he felt uneasy.
Brooke said: "One, two, three... there are four people in total."
"Five," said Robin. "There's another one further north at the back, to the side, better hidden."
"Eh?" Brook was surprised. His observation Haki was only at the entry level, but it didn't matter. He summoned his Stand with a thought, "Knock on Heaven's Gate". The green humanoid Stand that couldn't be seen by the naked eye appeared behind Brook, and floated ten meters into the air. He looked far away at the location Robin mentioned, and saw a well-hidden figure, who seemed to be a local ronin.
Lin Qi said, "Don't pay attention to them. The cemetery behind the bell that Lao Kang mentioned should be approaching soon, right?"
A few kilometers ahead, a group of buildings were already in sight, buried behind the vast snow. The cold wind was howling, and Brook was focusing on the eyes of his double when he suddenly felt his waist loosen.
"Ah, my Qiu Shui."
The Afro Skull touched it and found that his knife was gone.
Looking ahead again, a tall and strong man in a white robe flashed into the wind and snow. His figure was difficult to follow with the naked eye, and even the very shallow footprints left on the snow were quickly covered by the wind and snow.
"Camouflage uniforms do belong to that." Lynch sighed.
Zoro laughed and said, "Brook, your knife was taken away from you."
"Isn't this the time for you to find a balance with me, Mr. Zoro?" Brook said indignantly, and then ran after the man, "Don't run--" He ran two steps and turned back, "Yo ho ho, I can't sense where he went at all!"
Robin pointed in a direction, "Over there."
"He has the same destination as us," Lynch said. "Since he likes to steal knives so much, maybe he is going to the cemetery to pay his respects."
"Steal the sword for sacrifice? Will Ryoma and the others be happy in the tomb?" Zoro expressed his doubt.
Lin Qi said: "Wasn't Long Ma's Qiu Shui stolen?"
"Ryoma himself was stolen," Robin pointed out, smiling at Zoro, "Ryoma is not in the tomb."
“That’s true!”
Zoro patted his head.
Lynch doesn't like the Wano Country comics as a whole, but there are occasionally people and things that leave a deep impression on him.
One is the Suzuki Daimyo Shimotsuki Ushimaru who looks very similar to Zoro, and the other is Shimotsuki Ushimaru's pet, a fox that ate the Human-Human Fruit Mythical Beast - the guy who just stole Brook's Shusui and Wado Ichimonji from Zoro. Just like he was moved by the movie Hachiko, Lynch also has a good impression of this fox, otherwise it would have been taken down by Lynch when it stole Shusui just now.
Ymir didn't allow anyone other than Lynch and Robin to ride, so they had to quicken their pace and head towards the cemetery in the snow.
Meili was a ghost, so she naturally didn't feel the cold or heat. Instead, she held Lin Qi's head, curiously stretched out her little hand, and caught a crystal snowflake...
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Snowflakes fell on his turban as the strong man, once the pet of Shimotsuki Ushimaru, once the Fox Demon Maru, hurried into the northern cemetery. The bell-back samurai were given a sword from birth, and this sword grew with them until they died - literally. After the bell-back samurai died, their swords would serve as their tombstones and they would be buried together in this cemetery.
It is no wonder why Ryoma's tomb was robbed by Moria. Who wouldn't be tempted by the shining black sword Qiu Shui standing on the tomb? According to the customs of Linghou, the tomb of this black sword must contain the body of an extremely powerful warrior. Buy one get one free is...
"Ryoma, Shusui. Ryoma, Shusui." Onimaru came to an empty grave. This was the grave of Ryoma, the proud ancestor of his master who died in battle.
However, since there is no body of Ryuma in this empty tomb, it is naturally not worthy of Ryuma’s favorite sword during his lifetime - the Black Sword Qiu Shui.
Onimaru held Shusui in his arms and stepped into the dilapidated cemetery shrine. The four walls of the room were filled with countless knives, including the pure white large sword and Do-Ichimonji that he had stolen from Zoro before.
"There are a lot of knives here." The voice of the young warrior who looked very similar to Niu Wan's master suddenly came from behind, which startled Gui Wan. He drew out the big sword behind him and slashed behind him. There was a "clang" sound, and Gui Wan's hand was slightly numb. His sword-drawing and slashing move, which had been praised by Niu Wan's master many times, was actually caught like this.
The sword he used was a low-quality sword. Although it was the Third Generation Kitetsu from the Demon Sword series, it was still just a sword.
Zoro brushed off the snow on his clothes and said with a smile, "After being outside in the cold wind for so long, my hands and feet are numb. I am a little slow in drawing my sword. Please don't mind."
"..." Guiwan stared at this ambiguous face and smiled softly, "You look a lot like someone I know. He is..."
While Zoro was still waiting for this guy's next move, Onimaru in front of him suddenly changed his tactics and slashed at Zoro's waist with his sword.
"Are you kidding me?!"
Zoro calmly swung his sword and fought with the strong man in this small house.
"All is fair in war! Master Niu Wan taught me that!"
"Oh, so his name is Niu Wan."
"Look at the knife!"
"Is this your foot?!"
"It's said that all is fair in war!"
The sound of metal colliding was endless, and the intersection of swords and knives produced sparks. The two men fought fiercely, but in this small space, they did not touch any of the swords on the three walls - oh, no, they did touch it. Zoro took the opportunity to use his toes to pick up the Wado Ichimonji from the wall. The familiar feeling fell into his hands - no, in his mouth, Zoro showed a satisfied smile, "That's right."
"Put down that sword! This is the work of Shimotsuki Kozaburo, a famous swordsmith!"
"I only know Koshiro! He has entrusted this sword to me."
"Nonsense! Who is Koshiro?"
"It's none of your business."
"Nonsense! Since your last name is Shuangyue, it must be related to me!"
"What does this have to do with you? What does it have to do with me?"
"Stop your clever talk! Look at your feet!"
"Is that your foot?!"
The opponent did not use Haki, so Zoro naturally did not bully him, and only competed with swordsmanship. With three swords in hand, Zoro was like a small green top, with swords flashing and shadows impenetrable. Onimaru gradually became helpless, and while sweat was pouring down his forehead, his eyes gradually became moist - Master Niuwan, do you believe in reincarnation?
I don't believe it. So I hate this guy in front of me.
"Look at me, I'm going to chop you to death!" Onimaru swung his sword, slashing at Zoro's lower body from bottom to top. The latter's face turned blue, and he slashed with three swords at the same time, "Are you saying 'chop'? It's clearly 'pick'!"
…
"Yohoho, Mr. Zoro is having a great time!"
In the cemetery, Brooke listened to the sounds of a fight coming from the hut. Robin stroked his chin and walked with Ymir and Merry through the cemetery full of knives, stopping in front of Ryoma's empty grave.
Suddenly, the door of the wooden house was smashed, and Guiwan's forehead was hit hard by the back of the knife, leaving a trace of blood.
"Damn it, I was defeated by just a good sharp knife..." He looked very indignant.
Zoro came out, carrying the snow, and said loudly: "In the hands of a good swordsman, even a blade of grass can be used as a knife."
"Shut up! Don't say the same thing as Ushimaru's master!" Guimaru was angry, but his body exploded with a puff of smoke. The strong man who was there just now disappeared, leaving only a petite and cute wild fox, who bared his teeth and roared at Zoro twice. Zoro walked down with a wicked smile, "You still dare to bar your teeth? I've decided, how about letting you be my pet?"
"Roar!!!" Onimaru was furious and charged towards Zoro, but the latter raised his hand to hold him down. He then kicked his four legs in the air.
Zoro pressed Yakokimaru casually and asked, "Where are Robin, Brook, and Lynch?"
The moment the question was uttered, Zoro himself discovered the answer and looked towards the direction of the cemetery entrance.
Robin smiled and said, "The beast has finally found us, but it won't be long..."
At the entrance of the cemetery, the snow was deep enough to cover the ankles. Lynch, wearing only a single piece of clothing, stood casually with his arms folded.
Beside him was a suspended blue-black iron rod, floating slowly and swayingly, as if baring its teeth in protest to the figure on the bridge ahead.
In the wind and snow, Kaido, the King of Beasts, who is seven meters tall, holds a black mace in his hand and stares at Lynch opposite him.
The governor of the Beasts Pirates, Kaido, who is known as the strongest creature in the world, had a crazy look in his eyes. He held his weapon "Eight Fasts" and shook it. The wind and snow around him were blown away. He grinned and said, "Lin Qi, come and fight!!!"
