Chapter 820: The Disappearance of Momonosuke (Part 2) (6100 words)
"Want to run?"
Senior leaped up and dived into the wall like diving.
Kin'emon apparently gradually realized that something was wrong with these people. Feeling that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders and could not delay, Kin'emon took advantage of the time when Senior and others were focusing on the strange puppy and suddenly attacked with a knife - in fact, he took the opportunity to make a feint and then broke through the window and escaped.
Seniole used the Swimming Fruit to chase and block him, and Kin'emon used Fox Fire Style swordsmanship, but Seniole avoided it by taking advantage of the terrain.
"What kind of magic is this?!" Kin'emon was horrified. He didn't dare to fight anymore and tried to escape immediately.
Senior swam down the wall to the ground of the courtyard, following closely behind like an arrow. Soon, the sound of fierce fighting came from afar, mixed with Kin'emon's roar, the wall was smashed, the ground was shaking, accompanied by several flaming sword lights, and Kin'emon fled away in a hurry despite the heavy blow from Senior, spurting out a mouthful of blood.
Senior swam back, his kimono covered in many burnt cuts.
If it weren't for the Swimming Fruit, which allowed him to take advantage of the terrain, and if it weren't for the fact that the warrior was afraid of causing a noise and didn't dare to fight...Senior felt that the outcome would be hard to say.
Buffalo was amazed and said, "This guy is really quite powerful."
However, there was someone who was even more astonished than him - or now it could no longer be called a "person" - Momonosuke, who had turned into a stuffed toy dog, stared at the broken window with an expression of disbelief.
Kin'emon, you actually left me and ran away by yourself?! I am... I am Kozuki Momonosuke! What was Kin'emon thinking? As my father's retainer, he should have protected me even if it cost him his own life! And he actually left me and ran away?!
And before running away, he didn't even look at me! "Woof woof woof!" Momonosuke cursed Kin'emon, but a dog barked out of his mouth. His eyes froze, and he turned his head to look at the little girl who had just slapped his body. He couldn't help but panic in his heart, but then, his body seemed to be pushed away by an invisible huge force, "bang————" he rolled and crawled away, even broke through the door and flew out directly.
"What's wrong with him?" Buffalo was surprised.
Sandu didn't care, "Idiot, have you forgotten the contract I made with him?"
Bang, bang, bang... The plush puppy was thrown out of the house by an invisible force and almost rolled twenty meters along the ground, its body kowtowed uncontrollably in the direction of Sugar and Monet.
Seeing this, Senior suddenly realized, "He just looked towards you, triggering the contract. His body automatically moved 20 meters away and kowtowed to you..."
Bang! Bang! Bang! The puppy kowtowed loudly. After the tenth time, it stood there in a daze, as if it had been humiliated beyond belief.
When Sugar looked at it with cold eyes, the puppy turned around and ran away instinctively in horror as if it was stabbed.
What happened? What was I doing just now? Momonosuke was terrified and ran away from the dilapidated hut, rushing around.
"Hey, Sugar, aren't you going too far?" Buffalo muttered, "It's just a little kid..."
Sandang looked at him coldly and raised her little hand slightly.
"I'm sorry," Buffalo said immediately, "Thank you, Sucrose, for putting me outside the impact list of the 'Contract'..." Otherwise, the moment Momonosuke was turned into a toy by the Childlike Fun Fruit, Buffalo would have completely forgotten the cause and effect, and could not remember who this toy dog was and why it was turned into this by Sucrose.
Sandang said in hatred, "You perverted boy, you dare to molest my sister just because you are a child? Be a dog for the rest of your life and eat shit!"
"But in this way, there is no way to figure out who the two of them are." Monet said regretfully, "I always feel that this little guy seems to have an important identity..."
Sandu sneered, "Is identity important? Not anymore."
"Let's go somewhere else first." Monet looked out at the courtyard, where noise was rising. "The fight just now has attracted attention."
…
The existence of a person who is turned into a toy by the Fruit of Childishness will be completely hidden from the memories of other people in the world...but the human brain is the best at deceiving the human brain, and the so-called memory is also ambiguous. When a very important piece of memory is missing, especially when the missing piece is extremely "natural" because of the Fruit of Childishness, the vacant memory position will be quietly filled by the subconscious.
…
"Damn it, what am I doing?"
With bloody hands wiping across the wall, Kin'emon lowered his head and hurriedly fled, walking through the streets of the Flower Capital, feeling confused and scared at times. "We have come here over the past 19 years, and we haven't found Lord Hiyori yet. How can we continue to waste time with irrelevant people?" He thought of the marked note and said secretly, "I must get in touch with Lord Hiyori before that..."
"Who is it?"
When Kin'emon heard the voice, his expression changed drastically and he changed direction.
"stop!"
A group of pirates, either Kaido's or Orochi Shogun's men, chased after Kin'emon who was fleeing in a hurry.
Kin'emon secretly groaned, his eyes gradually became determined, and he gripped the hilt of the knife. Did he have to fight his way out? ...
Momonosuke? Why should I write about Momonosuke?
On the north side of Jiuli, Kanjuro pulled his hair with cold sweat on his back. Could it be that he had been undercover for too long and his mind was confused? The secret letter to Lord Orochi actually contained such incomprehensible things... But what I should have told Lord Orochi was the key information about the only heir of the Kozuki family! I must tell Lord Orochi that the heir of the Kozuki family, Lady Kozuki Hiyori, did not travel with us! Kozuki Toki was deliberately creating confusion!
She was so bold as to leave her only bloodline in the murderous "past"! She was not sent to the future!
Kanjuro "figured it out" and spread out the paper. He picked up the pen and tried to write, but he couldn't put it down, and the ink stained the paper. He frowned, feeling that something was wrong... Why did Kozuki Toki take such a risk? He sent the four "Red Scabbards" to nineteen years later, but left behind the only heir of Kozuki Oden?
I'm afraid there is some conspiracy... Did she guess the existence of my undercover? Deliberately use this method to separate me from Hiyori Kozuki?! Kanjuro was shocked and felt that he seemed to have guessed the truth. He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Oden's wife was really scary... No, I can't alert the enemy for now. At least I have to wait until I follow Kin'emon and get the news of Hiyori Kozuki. Kanjuro's eyes changed, as if there were endless conspiracies and tricks. Well, if we calculate the time, Hiyori Kozuki is now 26 years old!
…
Mother...
Xiao Zi did not take a sedan chair. She walked on the streets of the Flower City under the influence of alcohol, her face flushed. Accompanied by her maid Xiao Nanzi and others, she strolled to admire the moon. There was a hint of sadness in the depths of her seemingly confused eyes.
"Sister, are you worried about something?" Xiao Nanzi asked, looking up.
Xiao Zi said to herself, "Xiao Nanzi, how old am I this year?"
Xiao Nanzi lowered her head to count, then raised her head and gestured with her hands, smiling, "Sister is 26 years old!"
"Twenty-six." Xiao Zi suddenly smiled, "It's been six years!"
Xiao Nanzi blinked, and suddenly realized what Xiao Zi meant, and her young face blushed slightly.
Xiao Zi looked at her, and suddenly put away her faint smile, and her voice became a little bored, "I'm tired, let's go back."
Xiao Nanzi nodded quickly, "Yeah, okay!"
"Oh, so cute..." The prostitutes who had been following behind dared to speak at this time, whispering to each other as they followed the oiran back to the brothel.
Xiao Nanzi was surprised and asked, "It's a puppy?"
Xiao Zi also glanced over and saw a furry puppy kneeling on the ground on the side of the road where they were passing, kowtowing to them repeatedly like a human.
"Hehe, he's actually kowtowing to us, how weird." "Don't be so conceited, he must be kowtowing to the courtesan." "That's true..."
The girls were talking about it. Xiao Nanzi laughed and said, "Sister, this dog is so funny, it seems like it is performing a magic trick."
After the puppy kowtowed for a while, it got up and barked at them, then seemed to rush over, but after taking a few steps, it seemed to have bumped into something and stopped, then continued to kneel on the ground and kowtow to them.
"Just a dog." Xiao Zi was not interested at all, and suddenly laughed for some reason.
Xiao Nanzi asked curiously, "Why is my sister laughing?"
Xiao Zi smiled faintly and said, "I laugh at men and dogs, they seem to be similar. Especially when they lie on top of women, they really act like dogs. - Let's go quickly, I'm tired."
Hiyori! Don't leave!
The plush puppy chased the girls 20 meters behind them, barking words no one could understand, and was filled with fear and anger. Why, why did I become like this? I am the son of Kozuki Oden, the future general of Wano Country, how could I become a dog?
Why can't I get close to women when I see them, and even kowtow to them uncontrollably? Hiyori, I'm your brother Momonosuke! The puppy will never make a mistake, that beautiful big sister is definitely his sister Kozuki Hiyori - she looks exactly like mother! Hehehe, her chest is also as great as mother's...
No, no, why are you thinking about this now! I will consider this when I expel Kaido and inherit the position of general. By then, even if it is Hiyori, I may be able to save face... Hehehe, anyway, it seems that she is the big sister now, right? As a big sister, it is also...
Hmm? What's that smell?! The plush puppy was walking in the streets of the Flower City in a daze. When he looked up, he saw that it was a coolie carrying manure out of the city. He wanted to avoid it, but when his body smelled the smell, he rushed over there uncontrollably, and his four paws moved faster and faster, as if he couldn't wait...
"As a dog, all you have to do is eat shit. That shouldn't be hard, right?"
The voice of that vicious little girl suddenly echoed in his ears. Momonosuke watched his body almost in despair as he leaped uncontrollably. In the frightened eyes of the dung carrier, he dove headfirst into the bubbling dung bucket like a young swallow returning to its nest... Soon, the entire bucket filled with dung made a "humming" and "humming" sound, as if it was enjoying a feast.
The dung carrier was stunned, then his face turned blue. He put down the dung carrying basket and vomited.
Momonosuke is not a real dog. Its whole body is buried at the bottom of the bucket. It is almost vomiting from nausea, but its body is uncontrollably eating these soft and smelly things in big mouthfuls...
…
Just as Momonosuke was roaming around the Flower Capital committing crimes, constantly creating psychological trauma for the hardworking dung pickers and some ordinary residents who did not pay attention to covering the doors of their own toilets so that the smell was smelled by Momonosuke... As time passed bit by bit, the day agreed in the mark left by Kin'emon finally arrived.
Shimei, the ronin are gathering and heading south.
In the northern part of Jiuli, Asura held the note and risked his life leading a few of his younger brothers eastward.
At the border of southern Kuri and Udon, Kikunosuke and Raizo, who also picked up the marked note left by Kin'emon, were ready to go. "There is no news from Lord Kawamatsu and Lady Hiyori, what should we do?" The two of them followed the mark and headed to the meeting place with great concern. "I hope Kin'emon will have a surprise..."
Flower City, Youkuo. The night was dark, Kyoshiro took off his wig, changed into a nightgown, said a few words to Kozuki, opened the window and left alone.
Xiao Zi quietly walked into the shadow of the night in the room, and as the incense faded, she disappeared.
…
"Where's Kin'emon?"
"Oh no, this is really a trap!!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"They are Orochi's men, and there are Kaido's pirates over there!"
"hateful!!"
Kyoshiro hurried from the Flower Capital to the location indicated by the sign. He heard the sound of fighting from a distance and was stunned.
"Ah!" A disheveled ronin was caught up by the Beast Pirate and cut in half with a single blow, soaking the night with blood.
The roars, the sounds of grief and indignation, as well as the shouting and laughter of Orochi and Kaido's men, were like a nightmare, making Kyoshiro almost think he had returned to that night in Oden Castle nineteen years ago. After an unknown amount of time, the fighting faded away, and Kyoshiro, who had been hiding in the dark, suddenly came to his senses, already sweating profusely, and the marked paper in his hand had already been crushed to pieces.
Master Shi, will your prediction really come true? He looked up at the cold moon, smiled bitterly, and turned away.
Midnight had passed. In the valley filled with bloody winds, corpses were everywhere. Old Kang, wearing a headscarf, hid in the dark behind a large rock on the other side. His body had shrunk due to years of hunger and exhaustion, which made it easier for him to hide here and avoid the sight of Orochi's men and the Beast Pirates... When the morning light came up, Old Kang seemed to come back to his senses. He shuddered and said to himself with a pale face, "Oden, where is your daughter Hiyori? Without her, the only bloodline of the Kozuki family, there is no hope for the country of Wano..."
Lao Kang staggered away to the north behind the bell.
…
A piece of cherry blossom floated in through the window and landed in Xiao Zi's hands. She asked calmly, "It seems that you didn't see them?"
Kyoshiro sat down on the tatami in silence without answering.
"Mother's plan of building a plank road in the open while secretly attacking Chencang, now it seems..." Xiao Zi turned around and said with a smile, "The plank road is nowhere to be seen, and my Chencang is nothing more than a leaky boat."
Kyoshiro said: "They will definitely show up."
"Maybe." Xiao Zi withdrew her gaze, opened her hands, and thin pink hair fell from between her fingers.
Kyoushiro frowned and said, "You..."
Xiao Zi crossed her arms and smiled, "I'm tired. The Oiran is busy too."
After Kyoshiro left, Xiao Zi's smile gradually faded. She stood by the window for a long time and then gently lowered the window.
…
“With so many people gathered together, it must not be groundless!”
In the Shogun's Mansion, Orochi was furious, "Kinemon! It must be that guy Kin'emon! He's still alive, he's not dead yet! Check! Catch him! Not only Hana-no-Mitsu, but also Usagi, Nozomi, Kuri...especially Kuri. Ask Kaido's people to help, even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we must catch these rebels and tear them into pieces!!"
…
In an abandoned village in the far suburbs of the Flower Capital, Kin'emon was covered in bruises and had a high fever. He was bandaging his wounds himself when he suddenly opened his eyes and heard the sound of pursuers.
He gritted his teeth, grabbed the sword beside him, and escaped through the window.
He felt dizzy, and could only grit his teeth and hold on... He didn't know how many days he had been fighting wits and courage with the pursuers everywhere. Just when Kin'emon thought he was about 70% dead, he heard a clear and tender voice: "Bite them!" and a furious and sturdy voice: "Xiaoyu, ah! We can't even take care of ourselves... ah!"
"Save me..." Kin'emon murmured these words before he fainted, "I...can't die yet..."
…
Drake, the new pillar of the Beasts Pirates, led his team to defeat Kuri's Brag Village. The swordsmith took his apprentice Xiaoyu and fled in the chaos. They met Kin'emon and rescued him...
Ashura Douji and the Hime Ronin managed to survive with great difficulty, but suffered heavy casualties...
Kanjuro was still struggling to understand the "intention" of his wife in Kuri...
Lao Kang wandered around in the north, drinking snow when thirsty and picking up strange fruits floating on the river when hungry. He guessed that the storm was gradually over, so he tried to go to Baiwu, south of Linghou, which was his former territory. He was like a lonely ghost, but he met Luffy who was leading the adventure on Thundercloud Thor...
In Rabbit Bowl, Kikunojo and Raizo are discussing whether to take the risk and go to Rabbit Bowl Prison to find out what is going on...
In the Flower Capital, Sugar and the others wandered around the Yukuo. After waiting for so many days, there was still no news of the Straw Hat Pirates entering Wano Country, and they didn't hear a word about Lynch. It was really annoying! They were just annoyed, but Momonosuke was desperate.
…
“It’s a shit monster!” “It stinks!” “Why did it appear again…” “It might have crawled out of a cesspool…”
The filthy puppy could no longer be identified as a stuffed toy or a real dog. It ran away in a daze amid the disgusted discussions, and was hit on the head by stones from time to time. If it was unlucky enough to run into a female pedestrian, its body would be forced to stop 20 meters away and kowtow uncontrollably ten times...
If this is a nightmare, please let me wake up soon!
Momonosuke ran away with a curse, and behind him, Lynch and Robin, who had just entered the Flower Capital, glanced at him. Unfortunately, he was covered with countless layers of feces, old and new, and even Lynch couldn't use his Observation Haki to examine it carefully, so he couldn't find out that it was actually a toy dog instead of a real dog... If Lynch used his Observation Haki to detect that this was a living toy puppy, he would definitely realize that Sucrose had also come to Wano Country, and was in the Flower Capital.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
Lin Qi didn't know this, and Momonosuke certainly couldn't know that there was once a path to redemption so close to him... He had long been in despair, but he couldn't help but come to the brothel in Youkuo again. Although he soon ended up being hated and hated by everyone, he still wanted to take a look at his sister...
You are Hiyori, how could you forget me, your brother? Momonosuke wanted to cry, but there were no tears on his face, only cracked feces. Of course, there were many women in the roaming area, and Momonosuke was soon driven by instinct again, and was uncontrollably flung around by the "invisible force of a 20-meter radius", constantly kowtowed to the screaming women, and fled in the disgust of the three-sword swordsman, the afro skull, and a pair of handsome men and beautiful women in the crowd.
…
Don't go! Denjiro! It's me! Hiyori! I'm your brother! Momonosuke finally found an opportunity and raised his head to bark at the second floor of the brothel, but his sister raised her sleeves to cover her face with disgust and quickly returned to the building.
Momonosuke once again realized that he was truly forgotten by the whole world and felt cold all over. He wanted to curse at the heartless Hiyori and Denjiro who didn't recognize his master, but what came out of his mouth was the barking sound of a dog that even he hated...
Why, I was supposed to inherit the position of General Kozuki, why did I become like this? ...
"Why did it become like this..."
Sitting on the back of the humanoid airplane buffalo, Sugar and Monet looked terrified. Buffalo shouted, "It should be said that it will turn out like this! Lynch is unbelievable! Even a real monster like Kaido was beaten to death by him... Senior is really dead, he actually had the courage to stay and face that monster..."
Sandang's face turned pale. "What's the point of saying this now? If you have any loyalty, you can come back and avenge him now."
"Revenge?" Buffalo's voice was almost distorted. "I don't want to talk about revenge again in my life! Hatred is really too dark. It's more realistic for everyone to be a simple and happy pirate..."
Monet's expression remained gloomy, even a little gloomy. Are we really going to give up? If we also give up on avenging Dover...
I'm afraid no one in this world cares that Dover ever existed.
Sugar looked down at the distant Wano Country and sighed, "Let's go."
…
…
At the bottom of the harbor, on the Sunny, a pair of narrow eyes suddenly lit up on the dark visor.
『BIB』 looked up and seemed to feel something flying high above his head just now...was it a bird?
After thinking about it, he could not guess that it was the fleeing Sugar and others. 『BIB』 did not dwell on it too much. Suddenly, he heard a groan and turned his head to see that among the siblings who had been unconscious in the pool of dried blood for a long time, Runti, whose skull had been cracked several times but had basically recovered, woke up again.
