Pirate: I only come here for three things!

Let me tell you a cold joke, who is the protagonist of our book?

It's Duanmu, to be precise, it's steel-framed Duanmu. At the beginning of the decisive battle, he seemed to have suddenly disappeared and disappeared from sight. Under the intertwining conspiracies of all parties, this old man...well, pig's feet seem to be able to do only a handful of things.

As for now, he is exploring the dark underground sewers with his new friend.

"It's really amazing... I never thought that Wano Country's underground water system would look like this."

As we all know, the technology tree in the One Piece world is very strange. On the surface, Flower City, the capital of Wano, which is still in the early stages of industry, has a water purification system that is far ahead of this era.

Of course, it’s not just a cluster of reservoirs either. The Capital of Flowers is not defended by high walls. The most fundamental reason is of course that it is not needed. The predecessors of the Kozuki family believed that it was too unreliable to place everything on the city wall.

In the drastic reforms of a general, the emergency undercurrent originally used to prevent severe floods and when magma erupted underneath was changed. In addition, a dam was set up upstream of the Flower City. When the water level drops, the houses on the ground will become a meat grinding ground that any enemy fears, and the resulting street fighting conflicts can become a nightmare for any siege party.

In a war that is still ongoing, Er Mao used concrete fortifications built in the previous era, but Da Mao did not dare to attack the steel field rashly. They are afraid of the dense secret passages and protective networks below.

In short, apart from the drainage channels, the current underground water in the Flower City only has less than half of the water stored at its peak. That ancestor used technology that was far ahead of this era and created great underground achievements.

He firmly believed that even if all the famous names rebelled, his descendants could rely on this fortification to wait until the time came. Be a bastard club, right?

This is Sima Yi versus Zhuge Liang - if you don't fight, you won't lose!

"This place used to be a palace?"

A large number of stones were piled here and carved into special shapes.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

In fact, this was a building that had been built on the mountain before the giant wall was built in Wano. After the construction of the giant wall was completed, this place, whose purpose was unknown in the past, was transformed into an underground waterway by later generations.

Looking around, one-third of the height of these underlying buildings is submerged in water. And further up, two-thirds of the way up the building, there are obvious traces of corrosion and moss.

As the saying goes, it takes a hundred years to be dry, a thousand years to be wet, and half a year to be dry or wet. Under the influence of time, the former glory has been corroded and disintegrated by moss.

"What a magnificent project..."

After reconstruction, more than 20 kilometers of water diversion channels are connected to each other. And now Duanmu is holding Yamato and sitting on Fu Lu Shou's boat. The waterfront here has been built into a nine-meter-high corridor, and his unique boat can flow smoothly through these paths.

"If your information is accurate, then it is the best choice for us to go through the sewer to rescue Mr. Kozuki Sukiyaki." Fu Lushou personally sat on the bow of the boat, while his men vaguely sealed the Duanmu can escape all possible escape routes. This is a necessary warning, or to put it another way, Duanmu is now his nominal guest and actual hostage.

Duanmu, on the other hand, was content and had no objection to this.

"It's a pity that the ninja who knows this place best is not here now...otherwise we could have taken a shortcut faster. Shinobu..."

He thought of the ruthless female assassin who left the country of Wano and went to perform tasks outside.

If she were here...

In fact, this female ninja has been caught, and by the 50th chapter of this book, some of the secrets of Wano have been revealed. She used Gion to prepare to assassinate Cyborg Kei's fiancée and Zefa's daughter. However, due to the double act of Kennedy and Duanmu, she got the wrong news that the target was dead, and before Kennedy came to Wano Country, he had been arrested. Live this little tail.

Of course, neither of them knew this news. Duanmu really didn't know, otherwise he would have had some evil calculation in his mind at this time. He lowered his head and held Yamato's little hand.

"It's so dark..."

"Don't you even have night vision?" A ninja mocked.

"No, I just don't have it." Duanmu didn't feel ashamed, but instead puffed up his chest. "Hey! Fu Lu Shou! Think of a way!"

"...satisfy him." Fu Lushou said, standing at the bow of the boat.

So, the men put up a high-power searchlight, and everything around them became a little clearer.

Yamato raised his hand and touched the water, causing ripples in the water.

"Fish? Is it a fish?" Yamato asked.

"Yes, it's the fry of a large fish off the coast of Wano... It's amazing that it appears here."

Fu Lushou explained: "We have always put fish fry into residential reservoirs to meet the food supply of the whole city for half a month under special circumstances... Of course, in the case of Kozuki Sukiyaki-sama, That was indeed the case at that time, and now there are only a few fry left here.”

Taking the fish that were used to ensure safety at the end and selling them for money is just one of the various evil things that Black Carbon Orochi does. He dares to sell anything that can be sold for money, no matter what the purpose is. Take action. It’s true that I don’t feel bad selling my land.

The consequences of this kind of corruption are extremely serious, but no one is willing to talk to Black Carbon Orochi on this topic.

Because everyone's butts were dirty, even Fu Lu Shou got a lot of money without doing anything about selling fish.

"Fish, so beautiful."

This was the first time Yamato had seen a fish, or rather, a lively fish in the wild. Her eyes sparkled.

"...After the things here are over, I will take you to eat fish."

Duanmu promised silently.

As for whether he wanted to drag Yamato into trouble, he decided not to involve the girl after chatting with his two companions.

No matter how bad Kaido is, his children who haven't grown up yet should not bear his consequences.

However, in the end, the girl patted her chest and approached them, saying that she hoped she could help everyone in the next action.

"Please use me." Yamato's face showed determination.

This girl said.

The three people looked at each other, and they all agreed. They lied that the action would be tomorrow morning, and asked Yamato to go to bed early and join them tomorrow.

Afterwards, the three of them went their separate ways and prepared to act according to the original plan...

But it wasn't until Duanmu entered Fu Lushou's house that he learned from his ninjas that there was a little tail hanging behind him. Therefore, in this tense and exciting battle situation that determines the turmoil of a country, he, Duanmu, had to take a young child...

"I'm really convinced by you." Duanmu looked helplessly at Yamato who was with him, with a somewhat complicated mentality. In his opinion, as long as Yamato reveals his identity...

Then no matter which one of the three parties save Kozuki Sukiyaki, there is a reason to kill this girl.

When Yamato heard Duanmu's words, he tilted his head.

"fish?"

"...Well, I'll eat fish when I get back. I promise." Duanmu promised again and rubbed her round head.

About half an hour later, the fleet led by Fu Lushou gradually sailed towards the interior of a larger, dim palace. Here the ninjas set up a secret stronghold.

There are sufficient weapons and large amounts of rations here. It was one of the countless rat's nests among the ninjas.

"How about it, the work of our ninjas." As the apparent general manager of all ninjas in Wano Country, he is qualified to say such words. In his opinion, these are all part of his strength.

But this seems very naive to Duanmu, because no matter what, it is impossible for Fu Lu Shou to build this place. At most, he is just a guy who picked up the wisdom of his predecessors. Not worth mentioning. But he still put on a business smile.

"Oh, I'm really shocked. I didn't expect you to have such a base underground... you even raise fish here."

"Hmph." Fu Lushou was somewhat impressed by Duanmu's slightly exaggerated performance. "The whole Flower City has to thank us for not defecating here."

Okay, it tastes good.

..................................................................

Huge explosion.

The fur tribe warriors and all the retainers that the Kozuki family could still muster began to charge.

"We must arrive before the other two forces and rescue Lord Mitsuki Sukiyaki."

Can Xuejuzhicheng still couldn't believe it. "I saw that man behind the bell, his name was Duanmu, right? Is he really trustworthy? He pinned everything on this outsider... I'm still a little bit..."

"At least our interests are the same now, so that's enough." Old Lion, the current king of the Furry Kingdom, looked at Inu Lan and Cat Viper rushing to the front, and cursed: "You two little bastards! No! Did you agree to be last? You are the future of the Furry Principality! How can you be so rash!"

Pedro looked at the energetic two people and said to the boss: "Both of them look good. Boss, who are you going to make the next boss of the Furry Principality?"

Although Pedro was raised by an old lion since he was a child, he knew deeply that he did not have the talent to govern an entire country. Therefore, there is no objection to the old lion choosing the two of them as the next trainees of the Furry Principality.

"...Both of them are troublemakers." Although he said this, the old lion still smiled when he looked at the two extremely brave people. He already had a bold idea in his mind. How about appointing one of them as the king during the day and one as the king at night? In this way, the two of them can also help each other.

This is not the first time this has happened in the Furry Principality.

The only problem is that if the two of them get into conflict, the Furry Kingdom will fall into endless internal strife...

Well, probably not.

At this time, Denjiro in the entire team finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It became.

After Kozuki Oden's death, his retainers fell into endless and meaningless internal strife. Everyone is sincerely assisting Kozuki Oden, but just because everyone is sincere, this matter will intensify sooner or later.

After Kozuki Oden's death, Denjiro, a wise man, grew old overnight. Only then did he understand how important that person was in his heart.

For others too...

The reason why everyone across races and classes came together was only because of Kozuki Oden.

And when the slogan is no longer revenge for Kozuki Oden, but saving Kozuki Sukiyaki. The entire team was completely divided.

Shutenmaru and Kappa's reasons were so perfect that even he himself couldn't find an excuse to refute them. However, if Kozuki Sukiyaki-sama cannot be rescued, what will be the future for his group? What other families pursue is nothing more than the supreme position of Wano Country.

But Kozuki Oden's retainers were not.

In Denjiro's view, arranging the funeral arrangements for his brothers after the revenge is completed is a responsibility that he must fulfill.

You can't just think about revenge and ignore the future of those who are still alive.

This was the reason why he was determined to rescue Kozuki Sukiyaki against all opinions, and even blocked everything on it. He was thinking about the future of his brothers and working hard so that Kozuki Oden, his wife and daughter would no longer have to hide in hiding.

Denjiro felt more relaxed when he saw the heavy soldiers in front of him.

This shows that Mr. Kozuki Sukiyaki may indeed be inside.

He spread his hands and held the handle of the knife. Then his sword was unsheathed with a loud roar, and his fully armed companions joined in the decisive battle. There were gunfire and explosions, and the entrance to the building left by the black charcoal snake was completely controlled by the coalition force from the beginning.

The ground was full of weapons left behind by the dead. Leopard Goro arrived here shortly after the fur tribe and the Kozuki family entered. Seeing the chaos of the scene, he also realized that someone had arrived first, and Duanmu, who had provided him with intelligence before, might have sold this key information to others...

I'm obviously already ahead of schedule...

Bao Goro is a little dissatisfied with the current result, but he is also a little happy.

At least the blood on the ground has not completely coagulated, and many abandoned firearms are still overheated.

So he said to the gangsters under him: "Go in! The first one to find Mr. Kozuki Sukiyaki, I will promote him to the team leader! And give him a reward of 5000 million beli!"

This is really a huge sum of money. Even if you don't count the position of team leader, the reward of 5000 million is enough to make the gangsters below jealous.

Under the heavy reward, this group of people poured in like sardines.

Now, Haogoro is not so concerned about whether he can truly be the first to save Mitsuki Sukiyaki.

As long as Kozuki Sukiyaki is saved...

He clenched his fists.

Ok.

Human nature is like this. If something has never appeared in front of people, most people will not care.

But if a cow really appears but is missed, people will often feel upset.

That is to say, I really have a cow.

Basically all three parties have joined in the grand effort to save Kozuki Sukiyaki. Everyone is a nominal partner, but they all want to take the first step to control Kozuki Sukiyaki-dono.

And take it into your own hands.
