Just as the wedding fleet was heading towards Wano Country, a group of "uninvited guests" had quietly landed on the coast of Wano Country.
“Wow! What a desolate place!”
Luffy was wearing a kimono, carrying a katana sword he 'borrowed' from somewhere around his waist. He put up a pergola and looked at the endless wilderness.
There is almost no grass growing here, ferocious creatures are everywhere, the river is flowing with polluted poisonous water, the sky is obscured by thick and pungent smoke, and tall chimneys and constant noises can be faintly seen in the mountains in the distance.
's factory.
The country of Wano, except for the capital "Flower Capital" occupied by the black charcoal snake, has basically been poisoned to the point of devastation.
Kin'emon, one of the Nine Red Scabbard Heroes, frowned and looked around: "Luffy-dono, please be careful. I have a companion who stays in Wano Country as an internal agent, but for some reason I can't always be contacted. I have something in my heart."
An ominous premonition.”
“Ah, could it be possible that the Beast Pirates discovered the trace and killed him?” Robin, who was wearing a yukata that highlighted her figure, held her chin in her hand and said the shocking guess calmly.
Usopp next to him was so frightened that his eyes almost popped out: "Robin! Don't say such scary words with a calm face!"
Usopp is now the only one left in the timid trio of the Straw Hat Pirates, which makes him feel even more uncomfortable.
Zoro looked more presentable in his kimono and katana than the others. He touched his chin and said: "The members of the Beast Pirates that I met when I landed before were carrying a lot of valuables and clamoring to do it."
The wedding', could it be the wedding of Nami and that Heather?"
“It’s possible, after all they mentioned ‘Kaido’s son’. Apart from Heather, I really can’t think of anyone else who can be called Kaido’s child.” Luo nodded.
The outside world didn’t know Yamato existed at all, but Brooke and Luffy missed it perfectly and are still floating on the sea. This has led to the Straw Hats now thinking that Kaido’s son refers to Heather.
Heather is getting married, plus he named Nami, this is a familiar plot... Why does it feel like I have seen it in the three-masted sailing ship no matter how terrifying it is?
When the Straw Hats first landed on the coast of Wano, they happened to encounter the Beast Pirates who were loading and unloading goods on the coast. Since there were no cadres of [Shin Fighter] or above level here, the Straw Hats easily eliminated all the Beasts.
Member of the pirate group.
Because their companions were captured, the Hateful Straw Hats struck particularly hard, almost fatally.
And because ‘Death Surgeon’ Luo used his ability to transfer the wisdom snails (Wano Country version of the phone bug) of the members of the Beast Pirates, they were all wiped out without even notifying the leaders.
Franky looked up at the sky obscured by thick smoke and frowned unconsciously: "What should we do now? Disguise ourselves and sneak into the ghost island to rescue our companions?"
“It’s necessary, the ghost island is heavily guarded and is definitely not a place we can approach easily.”
The white-haired and burly Kanjuro waved his hands repeatedly: "Besides, if your companions are captured and imprisoned, they must be in the Rabbit Bowl Prison."
“Rabbit bowl?”
Kinemon nodded: "Exactly! Rabbit Bowl Prison is not far from here, but there must be guards there. I suggest you gather information first and then make plans."
“Trouble, if I had known, I would have left a few alive.” Only then did Zoro regret his ruthlessness in his attack.
Luffy was about to say something when he suddenly looked into the distance alertly: "Is someone coming?"
Several figures faintly appeared in the wilderness in the distance.
The leader is a tall man with six vertical lines tattooed on his eyebrows. His long blond curly hair is casually scattered on his shoulders. He has a cross tattooed on his Adam's apple and his eyes are indifferent.
Like Luffy Zoro, he is also known as one of the supernovas of the "Worst Generation", the captain of the Hawkins Pirates, and the [Magician] Hawkins with a bounty of 320 million Berry!
Beside him was a burly man wearing a full metal mask, with long hedgehog-like golden hair reaching his waist, and metal wristbands on both arms below the elbows.
One of the Supernovas, the vice-captain of the Kidd Pirates, [Killer Killer] Kira with a bounty of 200 million Berry!
Behind the two of them were dozens of members of the Kidd Pirates, who looked at the Straw Hats in front of them with serious expressions.
When he was still twenty meters away from the Straw Hats, Hawkins stopped on his side.
“Straw Hat, Roronoa, and Trafalgar, it’s really you.”
Hawkins said slowly:
“I couldn’t believe my eyes when I was doing the divination. But I believe in the divination results more than my eyes, so I came here to have a look. So, what should I say?”
“How to say what?”
Trafalgar Law motioned to Luffy to stop talking and let him negotiate.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Hawkins's mouth, full of ridicule: "If you are just coming to Wano Country for sightseeing, then I believe you have seen the scene in front of you. If you have other purposes, then don't blame me for turning you into real people.
Credit. The country of Wan is like this. The weak will either rely on the strong, or they will be captured and become lambs to be slaughtered."
As he spoke, he pulled out a strange-shaped sword hilt from his waist, and the blade was a bunch of straw that was constantly twisting and twisting.
Then Hawkins looked at Kira beside him and said slowly: "Kira, this is an excellent opportunity. Kill the Straw Hats and use their heads to exchange Eustace Kidd's freedom. I believe Heather
The adults will definitely agree."
Kira was silent for a while, and finally nodded. When the members of the Kidd Pirates behind him saw Kira nodding, they all immediately drew their weapons and took up stances.
When the pirate alliance composed of Kidd, Hawkins, Apu and Kira was raided by Kaido, Apu 'rebelled' on the spot. After Hawkins' divination, he found that the survival rate was 0% regardless of fighting or escaping, and the only way to survive was to surrender.
It was possible to survive, so he surrendered decisively.
Only Kidd and Kira led the Kidd Pirates to launch a daring challenge to Kaido.
The result is obvious and ends in a disastrous failure.
Kaido's powerful men had a collecting habit and packed up the Kidd pirates and took them back to Wano. As the captain, Eustace Kidd was imprisoned in the Rabbit Bowl Prison and tortured day and night to force him to submit.
Kira and other crew members were forced to work for Kaido because Kidd's life was threatened.
Two hours ago, Hawkins performed a divination on a whim, and the result showed that the Straw Hats had invaded Wano Country. Hawkins, who was extremely confident in his divination ability, felt that this was an excellent opportunity to earn credit.
As a new member of the Beast Pirates, he has no say at all, but if he offers the heads of the Straw Hats, he will definitely win the appreciation of the young master Heather. By then, he may even hope to be promoted from [Real Fight] to because of Drake
[Fei Liubao] who died and missed a seat.
Kira and others also had the opportunity to speak in front of Heather in exchange for Kidd's freedom. You must know that Rabbit Bowl Prison is Heather's territory, and Kaido's unreasonable indulgence towards Heather,
Releasing Kidd was not difficult for Heather.
Based on this idea, neither Hawkins nor Kira revealed the news of the Straw Hats' invasion to other members of the Beast Pirates.
They are confident that they can completely defeat the Straw Hats, who are short of major generals. Even if they have one more Trafalgar Law, it doesn't matter. This is their confidence in their own strength as a supernova.
But they didn’t know that they were facing the Straw Hats in theatrical mode.
Smoke and dust billowed in the sky, and sandstorms rose from the ground.
