Chapter 684 Wood: My acting skills are better than yours!
Kaido was also extremely shocked when he heard the information from the Black Carbon Orochi.
He had the same idea as Big Mom. No matter what he thought, he never thought that Wood was actually from the Navy Headquarters!
Not to mention, based on their understanding of the navy, they would never have imagined that Wood was actually a navy man and a former candidate for general.
Doesn’t the Navy pride itself on being responsible for justice? But that guy Wood sells a large amount of arms to the entire world. In the eyes of the Navy, isn’t this guy a complete villain?
And the Navy is the lackey of the World Government, right? The World Government is also the tool of the World Nobles, the Celestial Dragons, but before he was completely wanted, that guy Wood must have had quite a few licking dogs of the World Nobles!
"Go to Wano Country immediately. Now that the troublesome guys in the Navy have left, it's time to regain control!"
When he learned that Wood and the Straw Hats were together, Kaido was extremely angry.
Originally, he wanted to use Yamato to become his son-in-law and his tool, but he didn't expect that Wood would be so willing to degenerate and cooperate with some brats who played pirate games.
Now that the two admirals Momotu and Fujitora have left, Kaido naturally has no scruples.
Yes, Wood is very strong, but is Kaido a soft persimmon?
Wano is his own territory, and Wood wants to take over his territory single-handedly. Does he really think that the Beasts Pirates are a third-rate pirate group?
What? You said that Wood also has the Straw Hats, Trafalgar Law and the "Red Scabbard Nine" from Wano, these powerful men.
Sorry, from Kaido's point of view, Wood was the only one who could really attract his attention from beginning to end.
As for Luffy, the others, Kozuki Oden's original retainers, etc., in Kaido's opinion, they are all just trash, and cannot attract his attention at all.
Soon, the entire Onigashima Island was lifted into the air thanks to Kaido's ability, and floated towards Wano Country at a steady speed.
This time Kaido is ready to go out in force, whether it's Wood or that old woman from Big Mom, he's going to completely defeat them all this time!
As for the other side, Kanjuro had just returned from the Black Carbon Orochi. When he entered the door, he saw Wood and others who had been waiting for a long time.
Although he had a premonition that something was not going well, Kanjuro still pretended to be calm and looked at everyone and said, "What are you doing looking at me like this? Do you still want to enjoy my kabuki performance before the war?"
I have to say that Kanjuro's acting skills are really outstanding. If Wood hadn't already known the plot, and let Kinmen and the others witness the scene where Kanjuro went to report the news, he probably wouldn't be able to explain it clearly now.
After all, to the Kinmon Guards and others, he is just a strong support of unknown origin, while Kanjuro is their partner who has fought together for many years, and is also a "loyal" retainer of the Kozuki clan.
After the death of his parents, Kanjuro Kuotan lost his heart and has been living by acting for others. As a result, he has superb acting skills and is good at playing anyone.
In the past, the "Nine Red Scabbards" and even Kozuki Oden never discovered Kanjuro's problem because Kanjuro would completely integrate into the role when he played someone else.
When he plays the role of Mitsuki Oden's retainer, he will really pretend to be this character until Kuotan Orochi stops.
"It does look like a performance, but it's not a stage play, it's your personal show Kanjuro.
You should have definitely told Kuotan Orochi about our information, right? So you are now playing the role of Kozuki Oden's retainer. Due to the needs of the role, can you also tell them some information about them?"
After hearing what Wood said, Kanjuro's pupils shrank for a while, but his ugly face did not show any signs of trouble.
Instead, he forced an ugly smile and looked at Wood and said, "Sir, are you kidding me? Wood, I am originally a retainer of Lord Kozuki Oden and one of the Nine Red Scabbard Men. How can I play the role?"
I understand, Mr. Wood is making up some kind of script now, and he needs your cooperation so that everyone can relax before the war, right?"
Kanjuro didn't know if Wood knew something or saw something.
But Kanjuro didn't panic too much at the moment, because Wood didn't take action immediately, which meant that he still had room for a comeback.
With their status as the "Nine Men of the Red Scabbard" and their many years of relationship with Kinmon Guards, Momonosuke and the others would definitely not easily believe the words of a stranger named Wood and thus doubt themselves.
The worst-case scenario is probably for Momonosuke and his team to break up with Wood and the others, but if this happens, it seems to be more advantageous from the perspective of the Black Carbon Orochi camp.
And just when Kanjuro was about to show off and cry miserably with the young Momonosuke, the Kinmen guard on the side stopped Kanjuro and said, "Kanjuro, we all saw it.
I saw you sneaking to Black Carbon Orochi's mansion while everyone was sleeping.
If you fail to come back, we can also think that you may have gone to assassinate the Black Carbon Orochi or something.
But now you are back, and you are back intact. In the Black Carbon Orochi's mansion, there was no movement after you entered, so I think you should understand the reason, right?"
It is naturally impossible for the current Kinmen guards to let Kanjuro get close to Momonosuke. If Kanjuro is really a member of Kuotan Orochi, then it is not impossible for him to kill Momonosuke to death or take him as a hostage.
Once Momonosuke, the young master who represents the future of the Kozuki family, dies, it will really be a serious breach of responsibility by their "Nine Red Scabbards".
After hearing what Jinmenwei said, the miserable expression on Kanjuro's face suddenly calmed down, and then turned into an extremely gloomy and ugly face.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Now that it has been exposed, Kanjuro simply stopped pretending. At this moment, he was no longer talking to the angry Kinmen and others, but looked at Wood and asked
He said: "How did you discover that my acting skills should be very superb and perfect?
Even the former Kozuki Oden and these idiots didn't notice the flaw after being with me for so long, and this must be the first time we met, how did you spot the flaw?"
How he was exposed was something Kanjuro was most puzzled about.
He was very confident in his acting skills, and he really didn't expect where he would show his flaws.
What's more, how long has it been since he met Wood? The other party could actually see that there was something wrong with him, which Kanjuro couldn't understand at all.
If Wood met him by chance to inform him, then it was impossible for him to notify the Jinmen guards in a hurry and take them as evidence.
It felt as if Wood had known for a long time that he was going to tip off the news, so he told Jinmen Guards and others to wait and see.
"Don't forget, you are not the only one who is good at hiding your identity. Have you forgotten the information you went to report this time?
You are not the only person who has played a role for decades. To put it simply, my acting skills are superior to yours."
After hearing Wood's words, Kanjuro suddenly showed an expression of enlightenment.
You are right, if you want to say that the best and most successful actor present, then that person should be Wood.
The other party was a candidate for the navy, but he was able to disguise his identity for decades and suddenly became the king and the four emperors of the underground world.
The "Kanjuro" he played only deceived the people of Wano, but the "ancient weapon" played by Wood deceived people across the sea, and even deceived the navy and the world government who were his own people.
So in other words, is it because I met a stronger "peer" that I was exposed?
What Wood would say is, of course, pure nonsense. He could know that Kanjuro was the Black Tan Orochi's man just because he was a time traveler, so he knew the plot.
If he doesn't know this part of the plot, and asks him to tell whether Kanjuro is a traitor, he certainly won't have the ability.
Although he is also a professional young man, he can act, but it does not mean that he has such a vision.
However, regarding Wood's explanation, both Kanjuro and others present were convinced at this moment.
Chopper and Luffy, in particular, looked at Wood with admiration at this moment. Usopp, on the other hand, even boasted a little bit, saying that if we talk about acting and deceiving, he is actually a professional.
"Kanjuro, why are you doing this! Both the former Kozuki Oden-sama and the later Kozuki Toki-sama have great trust and respect for us.
They even treated us as retainers and gave us the title of ‘Nine Men of the Red Scabbard’, why did you choose to betray!”
Luffy and the others were just surprised by Kanjuro's betrayal, but for Momonosuke and Kinmonsuke, they were not only disbelieving but also angry.
Betrayal is already an extremely infuriating thing, but being betrayed by your most trusted friend naturally goes without saying.
For Kinmonsei, Kikinoshima and others, they are not only retainers of the Kozuki Oden family, but also partners who have fought together for many years. Now, the partners they used to get along with day and night have betrayed their lord and them. How can they not help themselves?
anger!
And while feeling angry, the Kinmen Guards and others also quite did not understand that as their lord, Kozuki Oden, to them, had already done everything he could to be benevolent and righteous.
Moreover, there is no conflict between the "Nine Men of Red Scabbard". Why would Kanjuro choose to betray?
"Betrayal? I have never betrayed anyone, because my name is Kuotan Kanjuro, a member of the Kuotan family.
The reason why I entered the Kozuki family was originally to be a spy in the past. Rather, my identity as a retainer of the Kozuki family is the role I have been playing.
Besides, it’s normal for a capable person to look for a good master and serve him, right? Forget it, the former head of the Kozuki family, Kozuki Oden, is this kid named Momonosuke now considered a so-called good master?
Rather than serving such a cowardly and incompetent brat, isn't it normal to choose a better master for your own future?"
After hearing Kanjuro's words, Kinmonwei was very angry. For the country of Wano, which upholds the spirit of bushido, betraying the lord is a thing that is despised by thousands of people.
And now that Kozuki Oden is dead, the young master Momonosuke is their new lord. Kanjuro insulting Momonosuke in front of these retainers is naturally equivalent to knocking their retainers' faces to the ground and going crazy.
friction.
"Ding------!"
Kanjuro, who took out a huge paintbrush Tsuji Shimei, blocked Kinmonsei's slashing attack, but soon Kikunomagi on the other side also launched an attack from the side.
The long sword left a silver trail in the air. However, Kanjuro, who was hit by the sword, did not bleed out at this moment. Instead, when Kikunomagi's blade struck his arm, a large amount of ink came out.
Kanjuro is a user with the Devil Fruit ability of the Superman type Bibi Fruit. With his sword and brush "Tsuji Death Plum", he can turn the things he draws into real objects, so he not only has superb acting skills, but also has extremely high-level painting skills.
Skills.
Of course, the so-called superb painting skills are his own evaluation of his painting skills. From Wood's perspective, his painting level is not much different from a child's graffiti...
To put it simply, Kanjuro, who ate the "Bi Bi Fruit", is a replica of Ma Liang, the magic brush, who can turn the things he draws into reality.
At this moment, the reason why Kikunojo slashed his arm and turned it into ink was because the Kanjuro in front of him was not the real one, but a fake.
"Mo Yun!"
At the same time that Kikunochou slashed the fake body, Kanjuro shook his head, gripped the "Tsuji Death Plum" brush in his hand, and threw out a "dark cloud" composed of ink directly from the end of the brush.
Because everyone was in the room at the moment, when Kanjuro threw out the dark cloud formed by the ink, everyone's sight was immediately blocked.
"No, this guy wants to escape!"
That's right, Kanjuro's intention is very obvious. Now that his identity is exposed, running away is naturally the best choice.
Even if he was a powerful man, he wouldn't be so naive as to fight with so many people on his own. What's the difference between that and simply committing suicide?
"Damn it, this ink can actually block the perception of sight and color. It would be really bad if that guy Kanjuro ran away!"
The Kinmon Guards, Raizo and Kikinochei are all trying their best to use the color of knowledge to find Kanjuro at this moment, because if they let the other party escape, then they will be really exposed this time.
However, it is a pity that they did not expect that the "Ink Cloud" used by Kanjuro could even block their perception of sight, hearing and color.
And just when Kanjuro was in the ink cloud, he found the direction to escape and was about to escape, a figure appeared in front of him without any warning.
"If you think you can escape from me with such unsavory tactics, then you will look down on me.
I kept you alive before so that you could report the situation. Now that the task has been completed, we will naturally avoid future troubles."
