"Who's fighting?!"

In the Flower Capital of Wano, several masked men in white suits suddenly frowned and looked towards the small window, looking beyond the window and towards the sky in the distance.

"Dang~"

The shamisen being played suddenly made a harsh noise. Orochi turned his head towards the window and changed his direction. He looked at the geisha playing the shamisen and said, "Murica-chan?! Why are you so rude?"

The geisha, who was called Xiaozi, heard this and quickly put down her shamisen, bowed deeply, and said, "General Orochi, I'm really sorry, little girl. I was shocked by the thunder just now."

After hearing Xiao Zi's words, the big snake waved his hand and said: "No need to say more, the thunder was indeed sudden. I forgive you for your guilt. Change the strings and play my favorite "Tsukihime" for me.

》.”

"'Tsukihime'? The little girl understands."

Xiao Zi straightened up, helped her mask, which was a little crooked because she had just bowed, and then moved elegantly and smartly to replace the broken shamisen strings.

"Deng Deng Deng~"

After changing the strings, Xiao Zi tried playing a few times and adjusted the tone correctly. Then he looked at Da She and the CPs, nodded slightly, and shook the pick in his hand.

The unique sound of the shamisen strings came out, and Orochi narrowed his eyes in satisfaction and nodded. As for the battle situation outside the window, he didn't pay attention at all.

Because he had received news from Kaido yesterday. Kaido would personally come to Wano Country to escort this transaction, and he heard that the enemy invading this time was a swordsman.

In the eyes of Orochi, there is no difference between swordsmen and samurai. They are all a group of weak people who only want to die. With Kaido taking action, the swordsmen should not be able to make any waves.

Seeing the nervous expressions of these CPs, they tapped their knees with their fingers, and the big snake who seemed to be echoing the rhythm of the shamisen in Xiao Zi's hand showed a disdainful smile.

World government, nothing more than that!

If those CPs knew what Orochi was thinking at this time, they would probably laugh out loud. Orochi couldn't see it, but they could understand that this battle was definitely not simple.

One of the people who could take action at this time and place and cause such a magnificent scene must be Kaido, the Emperor of the New World, and Kaido's power did make a few people murmur.

They were even glad that they chose to have the Wano country escort the arms to the waters under the jurisdiction of the World Government, and then make payment.

Otherwise, if they come here with a large amount of gold, they and the gold will not be able to leave Wano Country as long as Kaido has the slightest intention.

But at the same time, they were also very confused, because the battle situation at this time seemed to be clearly evenly matched.

In this world, there are not many people who can evenly match Kaido without falling behind. Plus, there are not many people who will appear here and fight Kaido right now.

Several CPs all thought of the same person, that is, the thorn in their flesh and the most hated enemy - Navy Vice Admiral Gray Lady Skylar Grey.

But soon, they rejected this idea in their hearts. After all, since the Charlos Saint incident, the detachment seemed to have disappeared. They were not even seen in the World Government and the Pirate Expo.

Naturally, as the leader of that detachment, Skyler disappeared from everyone's sight. Without warning, Skyler should not have come here for no reason to take action.

Not to mention that if Skyler had taken action, the battle would not have been evenly divided at this time.

Although they hate and hate Skyler, several people have to admit that Skyler's power is definitely not comparable to that of Kaido.

If it's not Skyler, then who is Kaido's enemy at this time?

The emergence of this question made several people lose the idea of ​​continuing the transaction. Anyway, Orochi was not in a hurry to negotiate a deal at this time, and seemed to want to show off his skills.

Then the CP members also want to interrupt the transaction negotiations and take a closer look at how the battle will develop this time.

Jiuli, in the mountains.

A fat and tall man saw the scene of the sky being torn apart in the distance. He immediately stood up from the ground. Looking at the split dark clouds, his lips and the hand holding the wine bottle began to tremble.

"Boss Shutenmaru, what's wrong?"

Next to him, a bandit looked at the tall man in confusion. Shutenmaru was awakened by this sound, quickly shook his head, lowered his head, then raised his head again, took a look, and lowered his head again.

"nothing"

Shutenmaru sat back on the ground again, closed his eyes, raised the wine bottle, and took a deep sip. It seemed that the wine was too spicy, and he drank too hard, and his facial features became distorted.

Immediately, a tear appeared in the corner of his eye. He took the corner of his yukata and slapped it hard on his face.

Just for a moment, an emotion that had lasted for ten years suddenly emerged in his heart - hope. However, this hope was severely extinguished by himself.

How can he dare to have hope? The so-called hope is just the temptation to let everyone around him die one by one.

Even though exactly twenty years have passed since that prediction

"When the world is dark and the moon is like a queen, it waits for the dawn. For twenty years, the lamentations come and go, and in the end, the night rain will bring new sunshine."

Also in Jiuli, on the street of Weili Village, a man wearing a big tengu mask was holding a small bag in his arms, looking at the vision on the horizon, and muttering unconsciously.

Next to them, on the street, countless villagers with sallow faces and skinny muscles were looking towards the sky with hope.

It wasn't because of the so-called prophecy. They didn't even know about the prophecy. What made them happy was that the rain came along with the dark clouds in the distance.

In their memories, since General Orochi ruled Wano Country, the rivers in Wano Country have never been pure again. Compared with the poisonous water of the river, the rain in the sky seems clean.

Although they are still hungry, they are happy that they don't have to drink the water that will cause abdominal pain today, and look at how dense the dark clouds are.

Perhaps the collected rainwater is enough for them to drink for many days. Although this does not solve their plight, it is already a hope, isn't it? A hope of survival.

"Da~"

A drop of rain passed through the eyes of the big tengu mask and fell into the old man's wide-open eyes. A slight stinging sensation made the old man regain his senses, lowered his head, and looked at the small pocket in his arms.

"Mr. Feiche, why don't you go back and store water?"

At this time, a villager nearby who was carrying a water basin also said to the old man. The old man raised his head, nodded to the man, and said, "Thank you very much."

Immediately, he immersed himself in the rain and started running. He didn't stop until he reached his residence.

There are many bamboo hats placed at the door of his house, and they are placed in reverse. Jingliang's skill in weaving bamboo hats makes these bamboo hats seem to have the function of storing water, and now they turn into small water bottles.

pot.

A little girl wearing a green bathrobe with many patches on it was constantly checking her bamboo hats to see if they were leaking.

It was obviously in the rain, but the little girl was smiling. Like the villagers in the village who held vain hopes, she seemed not to realize the meaning of the dark clouds, and was just happy to have clean water to drink.

"Master!"

The little girl saw Fei Che and shouted happily. Fei Che nodded, walked towards the girl, took out the small bag and said, "Xiaoyu, this year's birthday gift is five months late."

"ah?"

The little girl seemed to have just reacted, and then the smile on her face became brighter. She took the small bag from Fei Che and said, "No, just in time, we have clean water for cooking."

At this time, a domestic animal with a golden mane that looked a bit like a dog also trotted up to the two of them and nuzzled their trouser legs with its nose.

Xiaoyu lowered her head and said with a smile: "Are you hungry too? Komachiyo?"

"You go and cook, and I'll collect the water."

Fei Che patted Xiaoyu's head. Xiaoyu looked at the amount of rainwater that had accumulated, nodded happily, hugged the small bag, and returned to the room filled with many girls' puppets.

Fei Che raised his head, looked at the dark clouds in the sky, and said: "The dark night awaits the dawn, and the rainy night welcomes the new sunny day. It has been twenty years, but am I worthy of this hope?"

"Hahaha~hahaha~hahaha~"

In Ebisu Town, countless people with big mouths and cheerful smiles looked up at the sky, and while laughing with their mouths wide open, drops of rainwater poured into their throats.

A grinning old man was also grinning and looking at the sky, but unlike others who were catching the rain, his gaze fell on the dark clouds in the distance.

"Hahaha~"

In the midst of laughter, tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes, but under the rain curtain, no one could see clearly. Even if someone saw it, they would just think that it was rain, not tears.

"Don't raise your head! Don't raise your head!"

In the quarry of Tudon Prison, in the mouth of a hippopotamus, there is a strange man with a human head and body, holding his own saber, knocking on the fence, looking at the chaotic prisoners below, and roaring angrily.

"How dare you raise your head?! You have nothing to eat today!"

When he saw those prisoners, not only were they disobedient, but some of them even stretched their necks and widened their eyes on purpose, just to see the dark clouds in the distance clearly. The hippo weirdo yelled in anger.

In the corner of the quarry, a thin old man was holding his pipe, smoking a dry cigarette, and looking up at the dark clouds in the distance.

"Mr. Haogoro, do you know what that is? Why does it look like the dark clouds have been split open?"

Next to him, a prisoner asked the thin old man. Baogorang took another puff of dry cigarette and touched the quarrying pickaxe with his other hand. However, looking at the way it was packed, it looked more like holding a knife, and then he said slowly:

"Don't look at it, those dark clouds are either the sky or they have been cut open."

"So powerful? Who has such strength?"

The prisoner sighed in surprise, but Hao Goro let go of the quarrying pickaxe, shook his head, and said: "No matter how powerful it is, what does it have to do with us? We are just prisoners in this prison."

"What if the battle spreads here and we are all liberated?"

"It's better not to think about that. Think about how you will spend today without food. Who told you to look up?"

Although he said this, Baogoro's head was not on the ground. His eyes behind dark blue sunglasses were staring into the distance, looking at the dense but torn dark clouds.

"Xiaosheng doesn't think so."

At this time, a huge fish-man who looked like a kappa in the storybook suddenly appeared next to Haogoro. Baogoro looked at him doubtfully and said, "Kawamatsu? Do you have anything else to say?"

He Song touched his belly, and then several fish bones appeared in his palm. He leaned down and said: "There is only one chance. Xiaosheng wants to go out and help found the country of Wano. Are you willing to help Xiaosheng?"

"Jianguo? Are you talking like this again?"

Bao Wulang took a puff of dry tobacco, but found that the dry tobacco was extinguished by the rain at some point. He turned the pipe, knocked it on the stone, and knocked out the soaked tobacco.
