Pirates: The Black Earl

Wano Country, Kuri, Toushan.

"So that's it, is there a big man here?"

The fire in the cave glowed faintly, and the barbecue grease dripped onto the campfire, crackling together with the burning torches. Smelling the aroma, some bandits swallowed in disappointment.

grunt!

"Well, eat first, let's talk when we're full."

Seeing this, the tall and fat man named Jiu Tianmaru showed a gentle smile that did not match his usual, and took the lead in picking up a roasted bird.

"oh!!"

"Long live the boss!!"

Only then did the rest of the bandits start to attack, and the cave was filled with the sound of swallowing and gnawing.

In Wano country, except for the capital of flowers, there is a shortage of food in other areas. Kaido's arsenal seriously pollutes the water and land, and the crops are not harvested, making it difficult for the people to feed themselves.

Even the bandits had a hard time finding a target when they wanted to grab food, and they were also starving.

No one wants to miss a long-lost full meal.

Jiu Tianwan tore off a piece of meat and chewed it slowly in his mouth, then suddenly looked to his side: "Then, tell me about that man."

"Yes Yes!"

Not only did he go down the mountain to grab enough food, but he also brought back a snake subordinate who transported food to Huadu.

They are very clean and good at hiding. Orochi and Kaido failed to send troops to encircle and suppress them many times. Later, thinking that he only dared to make trouble in Jiuli, they simply gave up the direct attack and chose to block the range of activities. Out of sight, out of mind.

So this subordinate knew very well that he might die if he cooperated with them, and he would definitely die if he didn't cooperate.

"That was five days ago, Master Kaido..."

"Um?"

"Kai... Kaido and Orochi went to Date Port, saying that they are going to welcome a guest from overseas..."

Subordinates don't know much.

After briefly talking about Lovett's information and the undead army docked at the Port of Date, he knelt on the ground: "My lord, this villain really only knows this. I'm just a guard in charge of delivering food. Please let me go." Bar!"

"So it's like this, and you have to be busy preparing for the New Year's celebration and you have to continue to supply wine and banquets, so you increased the food supply...?"

Jiutianmaru ignored his begging for mercy and fell into deep thought.

At this time, a man dressed as a samurai with a serious expression said, "Speaking of which, I seem to have heard of this name."

"oh?"

Eyes half-opened, Shutenmaru looked over.

The man was sitting on the ground, moved his knees to face him at this moment, and replied: "A year ago, a group of pirates broke into the Wano country and were active in the area around the village of Kasa. One step too late, they have already left."

"But what's weird is that not only Lian Li Village, but also nearby villages showed no signs of being looted...For safety reasons, they didn't dare to stay for long, and returned to report after hastily inquiring about some information."

"Well, there is such a thing."

Picking up the wine gourd hanging from his waist, Jiu Tianwan gulped down two gulps: "I remember that I should leave the order alone. Since the other party has already left, there is no need to make extra trouble."

Of course, the bandits led by Jiu Tianmaru were not bandits in the true sense.

After Kozuki Oden was killed more than ten years ago, Kurotan Orochi went crazy and attacked the retainers and samurai who were loyal to Kozuki Oden. Countless people were executed, and some even escaped.

They are some of the warriors who did not succumb to the black charcoal serpent.

Even if he becomes a bandit, he still abides by his Bushido.

Kuri is the territory of Kozuki Oden, protecting Kuri is also their loyalty.

"Then what?"

"I'm a bit lost in memory," he asked.

"yes!"

The subordinate replied: "The pirates mentioned the name Black Earl at that time. It is said that he is one of the most dangerous pirates on the sea. Even their captain dare not be careless and sent them to clean up the intruders in the territory. So as not to give the other party a chance."

"And their captain..."

The subordinate took a deep breath: "It's Whitebeard, Edward Newgate!"

Boom!

The mouth of the gourd was crushed by brute force, and Jiu Tianwan's eyes that were always half-closed suddenly widened, and he looked over with a frown: "Who are you talking about?"

When the bandits around heard the movement, they all turned their heads and held their breath.

"Yes, it is the captain of the pirate group that Oda-sama once belonged to, the Whitebeard Pirates!"

"Yu...Miss Oda?"

Beside him, the guard who was brought by Bang was full of fear: "I see, so you are..."

Puff————! !

Before he finished speaking, a big knife easily cut open his neck, and blood spattered out.

Hiss!

The sound of leaking air followed the blood spraying around, pouring on the side of the campfire.

Plop!

The guard fell down unwillingly, with regret in his eyes.

Why am I talking about this?

Are you crazy?

However, what he didn't know was that whether he said it or not, he would die.

Jiu Tianmaru and the others didn't care because they didn't intend to let him go. This kind of scum who assists Heitan Orochi to do evil is not a pity to die.

Boom!

Quietly standing up with a big sword in his hand, his broad figure is as majestic as a hill, and one can only find out after careful inspection that Jiu Tianwan is not simply fat, but has overdeveloped muscles, and his body is swollen and bulging.

"I see, Kaido, an opponent that Whitebeard dare not underestimate, seems to have found a good ally!"

"Boss, do you want to do it?"

The subordinate asked eagerly, his eyes filled with anger.

They have tolerated it for too long these years, and it has gone from bad to worse.

In 8 years, a group of samurai couldn't wait to go to Ghost Island to fight against Kaido, but none of them survived.

Their blood feud with Kaido and Heitan Orochi is irreversible, if they fail, they will be benevolent!

but……

"hold on!"

Shutenmaru said indifferently: "Overseas is different from Wano country. I heard Oda-sama say that the powerful pirates there are not willing to submit to anyone, and they fight and kill each other every day."

"In the few years he was on the Whitebeard ship, he experienced hundreds of battles, big and small."

"A guy who is afraid of even white beard has cooperated with Kaido. It seems to strengthen the opponent's power. The hope is getting slimmer, but as long as Kaido can't make him surrender, this is a hidden danger!"

"Boss, could it be that..."

"Ah, I thought so too."

Shutenmaru narrowed his eyes again: "Master Oda told me to wait twenty years before launching a counterattack, maybe... this is the opportunity."

"Finally, are we going to wait until this day?"

The corners of his mouth were cracked, and he told everyone: "Cultivate your spirit, hone your skills, don't be unable to lift the knife at that time, it will be troublesome."

The subordinate covered his eyes, crying and laughing: "Don't worry, boss, just watch it!"

"but……"

Jiu Tianwan frowned slightly: "Don't act rashly."

Looking at the deep and dark forest outside the cave, Shutenmaru fell into deep thought.

...

Mrs. Toki used the fruit of time to send away five people, Kin'emon, Kanjuro, Kikunojo, Raizo, and her own son, Kozuki Momonosuke.

Kanjuro is of course not aware that Kanjuro is a spy of Orochi, and he is worried about the other people left behind.

It's good that Inuarashi and Momushi are not in the country, but there is still no news about Kawamatsu and Denjiro.

Shutenmaru doesn't think that things like their death will be hidden by Orochi. However, unlike his gratitude to Mita, those two exist who fanatically respect Mita. If they know about this opportunity, they might do something irrational thing.

Wano Country, Capital of Flowers, State Guest Mansion.

This is the manor that Heitan Orochi ordered his subordinates to quickly remodel a noble mansion within a few days. Even Kaido said that, of course he dare not neglect.

Even though Lovett stopped participating in the banquet from the first day, the banquet that lasted for a week still did not dare to stop.

Boom boom boom!

Standing in front of the gate, Guangyue Ri, whose alias was Xiao Zi, picked up the knocker and knocked on the gate with some nervousness.

At the same time, he looked around suspiciously.

"Such an important guest, Orochi didn't arrange guards?"

There are few people on the empty streets. Although Kaido is also afraid of the opponent's strength, it is not impossible to not arrange a gatekeeper, right?

However, in the next second, she immediately knew the answer.

Looking down at the open eye in the center of the door, Xiao Zi's first reaction was: "Is this pattern here just now?"

Then suddenly woke up.

No, absolutely not just now!

It's not a pattern either!

Whoosh!

"Who is coming?"

At the same time, the big red lantern hanging on the left and right sides of the door suddenly opened the one eye in the middle of the stomach, stretched out two small hands left and right, pulled out a long knife from the stomach, and stretched the tail like a snake to drive the body to throw it out.

Looking around, on the dimly lit streets, no matter whether it is a stone slab or a wall, it seems to be alive at this moment, and the eyes without a trace of emotion lock on the visitor, and the picture is strange and terrifying.

Only then did Xiao Zi understand.

It's not that there are no guards, but that everything around is full of guards!

Obviously, they only know the tip of the iceberg of Earl Black's methods!

At this time, the gate grew another mouth, and said, "Geisha Xiaozi, right?"

She nodded stiffly.

"How do you want to die?"

"Huh? Huh?!"
