Pirate, I am the demon fox that brings disaster to the world!

Wano Country, Usagi Prison.

"Ding-ling-clang-clang--"

The heavily fortified steel gate was slowly opened, and a smell of decay and decay immediately filled the air.

"Master Yakumo, please forgive me. This is a prison after all, so the environment is naturally not very good."

A man with stretched earlobes bowed respectfully and spoke with awe in his words.

Waving his hand to fan away the pungent smell, Yakumo Bai frowned, raised his hand to put on the same mask as Runti, and then barely endured it. At the same time, he waved his hand casually to indicate that he didn't care.

The Orochi Oniwabanshu in the original work are now just a few big cats and small cats, and the only one they can show off is Fukurokuju in front of them. This time, he asked to come to Udon to "visit the prison", and the other party also accompanied him under the instructions of Orochi. While guiding, there may also be the meaning of surveillance.

"Okay, now that you're here, you can leave immediately. I don't want anyone to disturb me during the next game."

As he spoke, Yakumo Shiro pulled up Yao Ye who was beside him and Tian Yueshi who was wearing a black coat and a fox mask, and prepared to walk inside.

"Please... please wait a moment, Master Yakumo! Lord Orochi let me...!!"

The anxious shouts came to an abrupt end. The white night, flashing with a cold light, had quietly pressed against Fu Lu Shou's neck. With just a little force, a fountain of water could be splashed out.

"Huh? What? What did the snake do to me?"

Tilting his head slightly, as if nothing had happened, Yakumo Shiro glanced at Fukurokuju and asked.

Although the calm tone was not murderous, it made Fu Lu Shou feel like he was falling into an ice cellar. He knew that this mysterious young master was very playful! At the execution ground, the other party's sharp and profound words broke the defense of many samurai loyal to the Kozuki family, and because of this, Orochi was able to clean up the mess much more smoothly.

If his interest was disturbed... Fu Lu Shou was sure that the knife in front of him would cut without hesitation!

After swallowing his saliva fearfully, Fu Lu Shou decided to respect his inner thoughts, laughed dryly, and said,

"Haha... Lord Orochi asked me to tell you that you must have fun. These daimyos have been unwilling to surrender, so they are dead. Just treat them as your toys... Haha..."

"Heh~ Toys..."

After gently patting Tianyue's clenched pink fist, Yakumo Bai didn't stay any longer and turned to walk towards the depths of the prison.

"Kurozumi Orochi... Some people have become puppets in the hands of others without knowing it..."

------------

A moment later, deep inside the prison, in a single cell.

"Ding-ling-clang-clang--"

The complicated iron chains were pushed aside, the heavy door creaked, and three unfamiliar footsteps slowly approached, waking up Shimotsuki Niuwan who was dozing off to relieve hunger.

“I have to say, they really look alike!”

A surprised young voice sounded, and Shimotsuki Ushimaru looked up in confusion, and saw a nine-tailed boy who looked like a fur tribe looking at him curiously. Beside him was a fox woman with one tail, and a person shrouded in a black coat.

"call……"

Exhaling deeply, Shimotsuki Ushimaru sat up straight with difficulty. His face was slightly pale but still had an unruly look. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said,

"What? That snake guy is helpless? Is he sending women and children to persuade me to surrender this time? Humph! They are just traitors!"

Hearing this, Yakumo Bai first signaled Tianyueshi not to act rashly, then took a few steps closer, took off the gourd toy from his waist, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a big wine gourd. The shaking wine in it made Shimotsuki Niuwan's eyes change.

I only heard Yakumo Bai pouring a dish of wine for the other party and saying,

"Yes... it is true. If it weren't for the help from Shimotsuki Yasuie, Kurozumi Orochi might have died in some corner, and he would have become the general of Wano Country."

"Ton ton ton--ha~ good wine!"

A long-lost feeling of satisfaction flowed through his body, and his exhausted body seemed to regain vitality with the intake of alcohol. Of course, Shimotsuki Ushimaru knew that this was just an illusion created by the brain.

After being locked up here for such a long time, this body has already reached its limit, which is why he drank the wine brought by Yakumo Shira without hesitation. Even if there was a problem, it would only speed up the arrival of the final end. He has never been afraid of death.

No matter who this young man is, he brought drinks and successfully won Shimotsuki Ushimaru's favor. At this moment of rare good mood, he only heard him say,

"I didn't expect that a little brat like you actually knows so much... By the way, is it true that your superior, the general of Wano Country, is all right?

Oh, although it is indeed true."

Shimotsuki Ushimaru shook his head in self-mockery, with a hint of bitterness in his smile.

"I didn't say I was here on behalf of Orochi, Daimyo Shimotsuki. Besides, no one can bully me!"

Under the suspicious gaze of Shimotsuki Ushimaru, Yakumo Shiro slowly stood up with a playful smile on his lips. Behind him, the mysterious Tianyue Toki took off his fox mask at the right time and lifted the black hood on his head, revealing a delicate face.

At this moment, the pretty lady pursed her lips tightly, looked at Yakumo Bai steadily, and then forced herself to calm down and said in a deep voice,

"Let me introduce you to Daimyo Shimotsuki.

This young man's name is Yakumo Shiro, the young master of the Beasts Pirates, and the savior of Hiyori and me!"

"!!!"

Hearing this, the wine glass in Shimotsuki Niuwan's hand suddenly fell to the ground and broke into pieces. The rich aroma of wine filled the air, dispelling a lot of the corrupt odor of the prison. However, Shimotsuki Niuwan obviously had no time to care about it at this moment.

With his eyes wide open and his body trembling slightly, Shimotsuki Ushimaru looked at the familiar woman in front of him in disbelief, his heart filled with shock.

"The Beasts Pirates? Young Master? Benefactor?

What's going on? Madam Toki, didn't you... die in the fire at the Kozuki family?

Was it this boy who saved you?"

Seeing this, Tian Yueshi had anticipated the situation at the moment. He took a deep breath and silently said in his heart, "Master, let me lend you a helping hand." Then he roughly recounted what had happened in the past half month to Shimotsuki Niuwan.

"…This is what happened, Lord Shimotsuki. Master Yakumo saved us from that disaster, and now he is determined to defeat Orochi. To this end, I want to gather as much available forces as possible…"

As Tianyueshi's words gradually fell, Shimotsuki Ushimaru gradually calmed down. At this time, his brows were furrowed, and he looked at Yakumo Bai intently, and asked in a deep voice,

"So, you want to borrow the name of our Daimyo to call on the people and samurai to fight against Orochi together with the Beasts Pirates?

.........

Let's not talk about whether it is feasible or not - Yakumo Bai, right? How can you guarantee that the Beasts Pirates are not colluding with Orochi and want to take this opportunity to annihilate the resistance in one fell swoop?

Madam Shi, of course I trust you, and I am grateful that you took the risk to save them, but how are you going to gain my trust? How can you get me to support your actions?"

Hearing this, Yakumo Shiro raised his eyebrows. Unlike Kozuki Oden, this Shimotsuki Ushimaru is much wiser. At least he doesn't believe others easily, which makes him much better than that guy.

"but……"

Yakumo Bai laughed for a moment. It seemed that it was time to use the mouth-to-mouth technique he had practiced for a long time. After all, he was a nine-tailed fox, so he still had to master this basic skill.

"Daimyo Shimotsuki, you must always be clear about one thing, that is, your assistance can only be regarded as icing on the cake. We, the Beasts Pirates, are enough to defeat Orochi. Now I come to you for Madam Toki's sake.

The crusade against Orochi was never for the Kozuki family. In addition to considering the future of Lady Toki and her daughter, it was also for the interests of the Beasts Pirates.

As an external force, the Beasts Pirates have no interest in the messy affairs of Wano Country.

Previously, we came to Wano Country through Orochi to develop and build, and while reaping profits, we also brought countless benefits to Wano Country. Under the mutual benefit, we would not care about the conflict between Orochi and the Kozuki family...

But now that the Kozuki family has been destroyed by Orochi's conspiracy, that idiot's ambition seems to have swelled?"

Yakumo Shiro smiled disdainfully, as if speaking to Tianyueshi or Shimotsuki Ushimaru.

"According to the information we received, it seems that the big snake guy has begun to secretly withdraw the deal he made with us... He even sent people to infiltrate the seastone mining area in order to cut off the source of funds?

Haha, now that he's the winner, he wants to overturn the table? That guy doesn't seem to know how many chips he has left..."

After a pause, looking at Shimotsuki Ushimaru's increasingly depressed expression, Yakumo Haku continued,

"So, Lord Daimyo, I am not begging you now, but you are asking for my help. If you can participate in the battle against the snake, you may be able to regain some of the people's trust, but if not... then you will be completely abandoned by the people!

I hope you can think about it again. As a daimyo, are you living for the Kozuki family or for the people of Wano Country?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shimotsuki Ushimaru's expression had fallen to the bottom, while Amatsuki Toki looked worried, wondering if this trip could help Yakumo Haku.

The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment, and in the unspeakable silence, only two foxes were left, as if they were out of the matter, wagging their tails leisurely, and from time to time they would entangle with each other playfully, and then separate, repeating this cycle without any boredom.
