Half a month has passed since the Rising Sun Port incident at the beginning of the month.
During the past half month, the senior management of Wano Country did not care about the wanted members of the Sakamoto Dragon Pirates who were free in the sea, and focused all their energy on the investigation of the vicious assassination - trying to catch up before
The special operations investigation team of the World Government in Beijing found out an explanation as soon as possible.
But as the investigation deepened, they found themselves trapped in a muddy swamp.
The man hiding behind the dark golden dragonfly mask suddenly appeared out of thin air.
And every time he appears, he is either in a hurry or on the road to rush for time. His actions are always so decisive and ruthless, without any sloppiness at all.
Like a dragonfly touching water, it splits at the first touch.
Appeared very unexpectedly,
And disappeared very suddenly.
This left Masato Ishikawa, the leader of the task force ordered by the Metropolitan Police Department to investigate and the former head of the Investigation Section 1, quite helpless. For the past half month, every morning when I got up from bed, my hair would fall out in handfuls.
Originally, he planned to soak wolfberry in a thermos cup every day, get a hairstyle after retirement, introduce it to his marriage and find a second spring in his life, but now his plan has changed to look for a suitable wig first.
Tomorrow, members of the World Government's Celestial Special Operation Investigation Team will arrive in New Tokyo. If they still can't find anything like they are now, then the honeymoon period between the World Government and Wano will probably end early.
Already.
By then, not only Wano's economic and trade cooperation will be sanctioned by the world government, but its status among the more than 300 allies on the mainland may also fall to the bottom. Saya, which borders Wano to the north, is now experiencing frequent civil wars.
The Grand Duchy is the best example.
Thinking about it makes me really bald!
Masato Ishikawa scratched his head in distress.
Dong dong dong—!
At this time, someone knocked on the office door.
Soon, someone from outside came in, bowed and reported quickly, "Director Ishikawa, the people from the Immigration Bureau discovered that a large number of immigrants with doubtful identities appeared at New Tokyo Airport in the past two days. From the analysis of the surveillance,
Look...it looks like they might be pirates."
Ishikawa Masato was stunned when he heard this, and said angrily, "Pirates? People from the Sakamoto Dragon Pirates still dare to come ashore?"
The visitor hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "It doesn't feel like he's from the Sakamoto Dragon Pirates, or even the pirates from the East China Sea."
"Pirates from other seas?"
Masato Ishikawa pondered for two seconds.
He had a lot of things to worry about now, scratched his head and waved his hand, "Assign colleagues from other classes to keep an eye on it. Tomorrow the World Government's Celestial Special Investigation Team will come. Don't let the pirates cause any more trouble at this juncture.
"
He is a little scared now.
What if the targets of these pirates are the Celestial Beings of the Special Investigation Team - the people who saw Representative Hope die on Rising Sun Island in Wano Country and traveled thousands of miles to assassinate the investigation team?
The World Government will definitely be furious, thinking that this is a dragon's den and a tiger's den... Then the senior officials of Wano Country will probably really cry.
However, although the investigation by the Metropolitan Police Department was unable to produce any results, the Wano cabinet high-level officials put pressure on mainstream media such as NHK and Shin-Tokyo Channel.
The man behind the dragonfly mask has now become a high-risk social figure in Wano's news and public opinion, and is called "the devil hiding behind the mask to play with people's hearts."
If anyone encounters,
You must report it in time.
.....
new tokyo,
Takehara Minami Private Academy.
"Hey, hey, have you read the news? Captain Dragonfly is wanted nationwide, and there is a bounty!"
"Haha, those guys from the TV station are really following the wind. Didn't they say some time ago that Captain Dragonfly is the positive energy Wano desperately needs? And they also called on each of us to have justice driven by interest?
"
"Well... Actually, the TV station also has its own difficulties. My father works in the NHK News Department. I heard that the cabinet minister has been putting pressure on him, otherwise the News Department will have to make corrections."
"That's spineless! Huh! That Celestial Councilor should have died a long time ago. I can understand why he is wanted as a pirate. Why should Captain Dragonfly be wanted?"
"..."
In the afternoon classroom,
The sky outside is a little gloomy.
Seven or eight boys and girls in the back row of Class F of the first year gathered together before lunch break to chat about the latest hot events. Higashinohara, who was sitting in the second to last row, sat in his seat and stared at his nose and heart, as if he was an old monk in trance and entered the manual of sins.
Continue with the "Intracranial Sword Training" of Kodachi Nito Ryu.
His current level of swordsmanship in the Kodachi Two-sword style has been raised from intermediate to advanced, and then to master, but the proficiency level that needs to be upgraded has also changed from 10 to 100, so it is not as fast as before.
Fortunately, the advanced proficiency level is enough for now. Higashinohara's double-sword style swordsmanship in the afternoon practical class at the academy recently was amazing. The teacher of the practical class even called him the only swordsman genius he has ever seen in his life.
This suddenly transformed him from a weed in the repeater class that no one cared about before to a potential dark horse. The teachers and classmates in the class were very optimistic about his entrance exam at the end of February next year.
...
"Dongye, are you meditating?"
When he opened his eyes, Yuuto Aida walked towards him and whispered, "Tell me, what a good method this is. The exercise method you told me last time is of no use."
Of course it's of no use to you.
Higashinohara thought to himself, but said, "No, I worked out for a long time yesterday, so I need to take a nap to rest."
Yuuto Aida didn't dwell on this, and quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, the winter vacation is about ten years away. What are Higashino's plans?"
"Working... uh, maybe going back to my hometown." Higashinohara said not sure.
This is the first Tokyo he has spent in this world. Every January 1st of the new year in Wano is the Spring Festival, and there is a tradition of going home to celebrate the New Year. I don’t know if I will go back to my hometown at that time.
"It's part-time work again, are you the working emperor?"
Yuuto Aida rubbed his forehead and said helplessly, "We are planning to go on a study trip to Hokkaido during the winter vacation. Your home is in Hokkaido. Do you want to come too? It will take about three or four days, and it won't delay your return home for the New Year."
"You want money?"
Higashinohara asked warily.
"Don't worry, I'm using this semester's class fee, and the missing part will be covered by Mr. Tadokawa."
Yuuto Aida said mysteriously, "Don't you know, Higashino, Teacher Tatokawa is said to be the eldest daughter of the Tatokawa family, and she is the real rich woman in New Tokyo, hehehe..."
"I really don't know about this, but your smile is a bit obscene." Higashinohara reminded, "We'll see when the time comes. I'll join you when I have time."
"Okay! By the way, one more thing. There will be an ice and snow festival in the school in a while. As a commemoration of our last day in the school in the second semester, remember to participate."
"That's no problem."
Higashinohara nodded.
He knew about the Ice and Snow Festival, which was held on December 25th every year just like Christmas in previous lives.
After this day, most schools in Wano will end the second semester, take about two weeks of winter vacation, and wait until around January 7th to start the third semester.
The two of them were chatting with each other.
After a while, a little girl with long pale blond hair appeared in the corridor outside the classroom. Carrying a small schoolbag, she ran happily towards the classroom window where Higashinohara was. The natural curls at the end of her hair swayed as she ran, making her look very cute.
Dazzling.
For a moment, everyone's attention was attracted to the little girl outside the corridor, and then their eyes were turned to Higashinohara in the back row of the classroom.
After more than half a month, although it was incredible, everyone in Class F of the first year still reluctantly accepted the "setting" that the brightest rising stars of Higashinohara and Takehara Minami private schools met.
I am also used to the fact that at noon, the little girl with delicate facial features like a doll will happily stand at the back window of Class F, First Year, and share the lunch with Higashinohara with the lunch made by the family chef.
And Nishimaru Miria is also worthy of the title of the brightest rising star of Takehara Minami Private Academy. She has only been in school for just over half a month, and it is said that she can defeat the outstanding students from Class A of the first year in a practical class in the afternoon, which shows that she is a high-ranking double
The terrifying increase in strength of ability users in the talent sequence.
There were even rumors in the academy that the big shot of the Third Investigation Team had already trained this girl as his designated successor. Everyone couldn't help but feel a little envious after hearing the rumors.
How come I am not as lucky as Higashinohara to be able to meet the daughter of a big man in trouble and successfully make such a good relationship with her?
Is it because I'm not handsome enough?
...
The glass of the back door by the window was pulled open, and Nishimaru Miria was standing by the window with her little head raised, chewing sushi in her little mouth, her face full of happiness and satisfaction.
Suddenly, she remembered something again and looked at Higashinohara and asked, "Brother, do you want to go to Hokkaido together during the winter vacation?"
"Hmm? Are your class going too?"
Higashinohara was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Asuka Tachigawa was also Nishimaru Miria's class teacher. Did that guy cover the travel expenses for both classes?
The rich woman is by my side...
Nishimaru Miria nodded her little head and said curiously, "Yeah, eldest brother's home is in Hokkaido. I want to go there and visit."
Higashinohara searched the memory in his mind and shook his head with a wry smile, "There is nothing interesting there. It's cold and dry. I don't know what these people want to go there to play."
After hearing this, Nishimaru Miria just smiled and said nothing.
After a while, she noticed that the people in the back row of the classroom had consciously dispersed, leaving room for the two of them to communicate. She couldn't help lowering her voice and whispered, "Brother, the news on TV said you are a bad person.
Will you...be angry when you see it?"
Call me a bad person?
Higashinohara was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses, and said with a smile, "The bad guys on TV are not necessarily bad guys, and the good guys on TV are not necessarily good guys. Of course I won't be angry about this kind of thing."
Nishimaru Miria nodded as she listened, with a sweet smile on her face, "Yeah, eldest brother is right, I just know that eldest brother is the best and gentlest."
Higashinohara also smiled when he heard this.
Probably when he puts on the mask, he doesn't look like a Sashi at all in the eyes of others~
The world of children is all black and white, and Higashinohara does not dare to say that he is a good person. He is just doing things that conform to his own principles of life.
Kill when you need to, and have clear thoughts.
...
While most schools in New Tokyo were busy preparing for the upcoming Ice and Snow Festival, a dozen men dressed strangely appeared in a large shopping mall in Shibuya District of New Tokyo.
The man in the lead had short blue hair, a pair of pink sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, a dark woolen coat and light-colored nine-point trousers, and pointed shoes as he walked from a large clothing chain store on the fourth floor of the mall.
came out.
Obviously, he had just purchased this outfit.
Maybe it’s the Ice and Snow Festival that’s coming soon. This large shopping mall in Shibuya District is decorated with lights and decorations everywhere, and the theme song of the Ice and Snow Festival is playing in my ears. The colorful lights on the top of the mall also form a pattern of the Ice and Snow Goddess, which is full of emotions.
Festive atmosphere before the holiday.
However, from the moment the group of people walked out of the door of the clothing store, there was no sound from the large chain clothing store behind them.
It's a bit scary to be quiet.
There is a faint smell of blood in the air.
At this time, two girls with trendy Shibuya makeup and short skirts came up from the transparent elevator in the middle of the mall. They were talking and laughing while walking with a cup of strawberry Daifuku milk tea in their hands.
After noticing the man with short blue hair who was the leader of a group of people at the entrance of the clothing store, one of the girls couldn't help but take a second look and quietly touched the girl next to her with her arm.
"Eh? That guy is a bit handsome!"
"Don't look, there are so many people behind you, it's Yakuza."
"That's not necessarily true. I look like a foreign friend. I can't be the heir of a big foreign family, right?"
"Hey, hey, hey! Please read less girly comics for me!"
"..."
The two girls were discussing in a low voice. When they passed each other, she secretly looked at each other at close range - she felt more and more that the other girl's weird outfit was full of indescribable fashion sense. Such clothes seemed to belong to her.
The one you like for boys.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the other party turned his head with some emotion and grinned at her with pink sunglasses on his face.
The girl immediately turned her head and felt a little nervous in her heart.
However, when the two of them passed the group of people and walked into the large clothing chain store behind them that they usually visited on weekdays, their long legs under their short skirts suddenly fell to the ground and froze at the entrance of the clothing store.
The little deer in my heart seemed to have been killed.
Blood!
There are filthy pools of blood everywhere!
You can even see the shopping guide lady who always greeted them politely when they entered the store, her clothes were messy and she was lying in a pool of blood, and her wide-eyed face was full of humiliation and horror before her death.
"Ahhhh-!"
A cry of fear suddenly came from behind.
The man with short blue hair, who had his back to the two girls, chuckled, casually took the mask handed to him by someone next to him, and put it on his face.
It was a dark golden dragonfly mask, almost identical to the Dragonfly Captain's wanted mask on TV, and there was basically no difference at all.
Thiago Murphy.
The "Deep Sea Evil Ghost" from the Western Sea.
Following his movements, a dozen other people behind him also put on the quiet masks in surprisingly consistent movements. Thiago chuckled and said:
"So... let the festival begin!"
The moment the voice fell, the glass walls of seven or eight consecutive stores on this floor of the mall exploded, and the hot shock wave carried sharp glass fragments and instantly ravaged the entire mall!
Many of the customers wandering around the mall and the cashier employees near the glass wall in the store didn't even know what was happening. The terrifying shock wave swallowed them whole with debris.
Under the impact of a sudden and sharp explosion!
Countless people were rolling on the ground in pain, holding on to their bleeding wounds, with horrible bloody glass fragments embedded in their faces or bodies, and they were rolling and letting out miserable screams.
Some of those who were unlucky were directly hit by fragments in their vital organs, and lay motionless in a pool of filthy blood, never making a sound again.
confusion!
Extreme confusion!
Thiago, however, opened his arms to embrace this chaotic atmosphere with great enjoyment. Then, wearing a dark golden dragonfly mask, he raised his head and looked at the mall camera diagonally above them.
He tilted his head slightly, chuckled and made a throat-slitting gesture.
Bang!
The camera screen suddenly turned completely white.
The camera is believed to be damaged.
Half an hour later...
In the meeting room of the Metropolitan Police Department,
The man sitting at the head of the conference table silently raised his hand and turned off the video of the explosion in the mall half an hour ago on the screen behind him. He looked solemnly and said to the silent people around him:
