"Tell me, how did you end up here? I saw you were in the middle of the sea not long ago..." Luffy said, looking at the member of the Worst Generation''s supernova group.
"You were spying on me, then?!" Kid said with disgust.
"Of course." Luffy didn''t deny it. "After all, I need to stay updated on the sea. I have many spies monitoring the movements of people who interest me. But you still haven''t answered my question: are you in Wano because of my war against Kaido?" he asked.
"I''m not answering your question!" Kid snapped while Killer remained silent beside his captain, a sign that he hadn''t eaten a Smile.
"I see..." That was all Luffy needed to hear to know the answer. "Well, in any case, you''re in luck, because I''m here to free you." Luffy said.
"Wait..." An elderly man called out, and Luffy immediately recognized him as the old man known as Hyogoro. "Are you Monkey D. Luffy?" he asked cautiously. Luffy listened, sensing the man''s curiosity.
"Yes..." It was obvious. But that old man wanted to ask anyway. Meanwhile, Luffy shifted his gaze to therge man who looked almost like a frog and was watching curiously.
"It''s good to meet another of the Nine Red Scabbards," Luffy said.
"Yes, that''s me," he replied.
"Well, in any case, I''ll free everyone. We can talkter. Lami, can you act?" Luffy turned toward the ship, where Lami on the deck nodded, creating her Room.
She quickly detected all the keys and teleported them to all the prisoners. "Good, you can all be freed now. Even you, Caribou." Luffy teased as a man appeared from hiding, looking at him fearfully. This man was weak and clumsy but inherently untrustworthy as the opportunist he was.
In the end, the prisoners began grabbing the keys and unlocking their shackles. Finally, they started to free themselves.
"Are you going to fight Kaido?" one of themon residents approached Luffy.
"Of course. I''m going to take down Kaido. That''s why I''m inviting all of you to join us as I move through the regions of Wano," he said.
"And how could we be useful...? We''re not as strong as one of the Red Scabbards..." the prisoner muttered.
"I''m not saying I''m forcing you to fight, but you''ve been standing still for so long, and now you have the chance to finally fight. I''ve talked to many of you along the way here, and I know some of you wille, even if you''re not very strong. Still, you want to fight for this country. That''s why I''m extending this invitation. Even if you''re not the most powerful to face Kaido, at least do your part," Luffy said, and the ce fell silent.
He then turned to Kawamatsu. "Will you fight?" Luffy asked. "I''ve spoken to some—Inuarashi, Nekomamushi, and Doji—they''ll join the fight. I don''t know about the other Scabbards, but I don''t think they''ll stand by. The question is: will youe along?"
"I..." Kawamatsu seemed hesitant.
"Maybe this is a chance to fight," Hyogoro said with a serious look at the green-hatted man. He spoke before turning back to Luffy. "So, are we really going to take down Kaido?" he asked, wanting to see Luffy''s determination. If he knew what Luffy was thinking, he might not have asked, as Luffy didn''t even see Kaido as a challenge anymore.
"Obviously, he will be taken down, but I''d like to see the people of Wano fighting as well," Luffy said, and Hyogoro nodded.
"And what do you n to do with Udon? Surely, someone will notice something is wrong here since you said you n to move to other regions of Wano?" the man asked again.
"That''s why I need your help. I want you to pose as the Beast Pirates, make any necessary calls. I''ll leave a powerful member of my crew here. If anyonees, as long as it''s not a cmity, they can handle it easily," Luffy said and looked toward the ship. "Chouchou,e here..." Luffy called, and everyone waited to see someone powerful.
Suddenly, a furry dog jumped off the ship,nded on the ground, and began walking toward them.
"The dog?" The samurai were somewhat stunned by this. After all, since Wano was a closed-off country, no one had any news about the Straw Hat crew or their journey. So, Chouchou was an unknown figure.
"The dog is dangerous," Kawamatsu murmured, sensing through his Haki that this was no ordinary dog. Even he couldn''t defeat that dog.
"Well, anyway, here." Luffy said as he pulled small boxes from his pocket and erged them. "Inside these boxes are food and weapons for you," he said.
"Now, we''d better get going. Chouchou, you stay with them while we go take down some of Kaido''s men in the region, as there must be a few around. We''ll grab all the Den Den Mushi here before returning to give them to you," Luffy said, pausing.
"In the meantime, we''ll be feeding the viges in the region. I want you to intercept any messages about what''s happening here and ry to them that everything is normal with the prison''smunicators," Luffy said, and they nodded.
"In the end, we''ll also take down the factories. I want you to stop all activities there since they won''t be used anymore. And I also want you to ce this device in every factory," Luffy said as he started handing out a crate full of Dyna Stones, which he had taken from Zephyr.
They nodded as Luffy returned to the ship with the other members, except for Chouchou, who stayed behind.
"We''ll see you soon. Remember: those who want to fight, wait for us. We''ll leave this region and head to Onigashima," Luffy said before taking off with Lami''s power.
And so, he began moving through each of the local viges. There were only a few in the region, but there were some. He quickly began feeding the people with food prepared by Reiju. When Kaido''s men appeared, he simply made them disappear and took theirmunication devices. He did this throughout the region, being careful not to leave anyone among the citizens who might be a spy and pass information to the enemy.
They returned to the prison, tossing in only the collected Den Den Mushi. Once done, they headed to another region, moving directly east into Hakumai. The region had a yellowish hue, but its red-orange weapons made it distinct. There wererge port cities there.
And so, the process began—supplying the cities and recruiting more viges with his speech. Messages continued to be passed, while citizens, moved by having food to eat, nodded to Luffy''s request.
The next area was Ringo, the snowy region.
While Luffy and his crew supplied the cities in the region, Luffy asked Lami to head toward the cemetery. Theynded at the site where Wano''s greatest samurai were buried.
"Kuina,e with me..." Luffy requested as they arrived, with the ship staying over 300 meters above the ground.
Kuina nodded silently, following Luffy as they descended andnded amidst the snow-covered graves, all bearing inscriptions of who was buried there.
"What are we doing here?" Lami asked.
"Isn''t it obvious? Something was stolen a long time ago, and now it''s time to return it," Luffy replied.
"The body of..." she murmured as she saw Luffy pull a preserved body from his pocket, encased in a coffin.
"Yes... Shimotsuki Ryuma, your ancestor," Luffymented.
"I see. He was vited by Moria..." she murmured, gripping the sword she carried. "But what about the sword?" she asked.
"The sword now belongs to you... No one can take it, after all. You''re a direct descendant—or so I believe. It''s better to have that sword inpetent hands than sitting as a museum piece," Luffy said as he carried the preserved body to Ryuma''s tomb.
Shimotsuki Ryuma was the famous dragon yer. He needed to put him back in his tomb, something Luffy had nned ever since he retrieved him from Moria.
Luffy looked at her, sensing someone approaching. "It seems we havepany," he murmured as arge man,den with weapons, approached angrily, seeing them standing in the middle of the graves.
"How dare youe here?" the man shouted.
"Don''t mind the hostility," Luffy said to Kuina. "It''s good that you''re here. I came to return the body of Shimotsuki Ryuma, which was stolen over 10 years ago."
The man was stunned when he saw the body in Luffy''s hands.
"How did you get that? Were you the one who stole it?" the man used.
"Don''t be stupid. Moria was the one who stole it—he turned it into a zombie. But that doesn''t matter now. Anyway, I''m here to return the body, but not the sword," Luffy replied.
"But the sword also belongs to Wano!" the man eximed immediately. "Shusui is a national treasure."
"You see, standing beside me is Shimotsuki Kuina, the direct descendant of Shimotsuki Ryuma. The sword belongs to her by right. She defeated Ryuma''s ghost, and he himself gave it to her. Even if you don''t believe it, that''s what happened," Luffy exined.
"I don''t believe that!" the man shouted, ncing at Shusui beside another fine sword, before turning his attention to the ones Luffy carried at his waist—Enma and Ace.
"Enma...!" he murmured, staring at the other sword, also a treasure of Wano. "You have Enma! Return it!" he eximed.
"Luffy, I don''t think the sword should belong to me," Kuina murmured, feeling a little guilty about having a sword from this country, even if it belonged to her by some right.
Luffy raised an eyebrow at her. "Well, I''m not going to say whether it''s right or wrong, but I believe that sword belongs to you now. If you want to return it to Wano, that''s your own choice," Luffy said as therge man charged forward to attack him, drawing his sword to defeat him.
Luffy didn''t move, quickly unleashing his Haki, which caused the man to immediately lose consciousness. He transformed into smoke, and a fox copsed on the ground in his ce, unconscious.
"Maybe the other samurai can talk to him," Luffy said, leaving the corpse and even the fox aside.
"Let''s go back to the ship. We''ll resolve what to do with Shusuiter—or rather, you''ll decide what to do," Luffy said, and Kuina simply nodded.
Knowing the fox would know what to do with Ryuma''s body, he and Kuina began leaping through the air, heading back to the ship.@@novelbin@@
It didn''t take long for the ship to start moving again, heading to the next territory in Wano.
