Go to Zou!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just the atmosphere inside the canoe was gradually deteriorating. A round of artillery booms brought the four men instantly to their senses.

The sea splashed, the waves surged, and the wooden boat shook wildly, making crunching noises as if it would directly disintegrate in the next moment.

Kin'emon's face changed dramatically, he and Kanjuro could both be ability users, and if the hull ruptured, he would have nowhere to escape.

As for being attacked out of the blue, Kin'emon wasn't surprised. Where does a battle at sea need a reason, and even for some pirates of bad character, the reason they attacked might be to see the other side crying out in disarray?

Bang!

After the red smoke cleared, Kin'emon's rugged face reappeared in everyone's eyes.

"Kanjuro, hurry up and draw a bird with your fruit ability to carry me over." Kin'emon gave the order in a rapid tone of voice as he used his sword technique to cut down those shells.

"Understood!" Kanjuro drew the great sword behind him and began to draw on the ship's wall with the pencil on the end of the scabbard.

Soon, a large bird with a strange shape to the extreme appeared in the eyes of several people, and after a clear cry, the painted bird flew out from the wall of the ship, straining its wings.

The corner of Raizo's mouth twitched as he said, "Kanjuro, your drawings are as ugly as ever, but since you got this fruit ability, can't you flesh out and improve your drawing skills a bit?"

Kin'emon also sucked in a breath of cold air, Kanjuro this guy is not going to try to sink him into the sea intentionally, but time is of the essence. He can only push his way up.

"O bird! You can be sure to be a fighter and never fall in the water!" Kin'emon is lying behind the bird in the painting as a young girl praying.

On the other side, the pirates in a small group of five ships were shouting in the oblivion of excitement.

"Haha! We hit the jackpot. Not only are those guys wearing the costumes of Wano, but they're also carrying a kid, so they must be the fugitives Lord Kaido named to capture!"

"Still, the captain is wise. Who cares who fired first on the other side? If it were us, we would have been hidden by that shabby exterior!"

"Hahaha! That's for sure. You'll all be careful not to destroy their ship, and besides that brat, I'll take that 21 O Wazamono they brought with them!"

"Captain, someone is flying over on a monster, and it looks like a legendary samurai!"

"Samurai? Huh? It's unbearable in front of our pirates. Otherwise, they wouldn't have even lost their country to Lord Kaido, fire, blast him to death!"

Halfway through the flight, Kin'emon stared at the pirates, and at this distance, he could already faintly hear them talking.

These pirates hadn't even stumbled upon it by chance but had explicitly come for Momonosuke, and they even knew about the cumulative agreement with Izumi Mori Kenzo!

Kin'emon clenched his fists, anger blazing in his eyes, "Ishihara Ryousuke, was it you who betrayed Momonosuke-sama's information and Oden-sama's trust?"

However, the situation was too much for him to contemplate, and a shell was aimed at him.

"Flame Splitting Cut!"

With a scorching flame burning on his blade, Kin'emon leaped and jumped into the air, splitting all those shells and landing back on the bird's back with a flip.

"Pirates? But that's it!"

Kin'emon smiled confidently, and then, his body abruptly lost its center of gravity and hurriedly looked underneath him. It was clear that the large bird that was already flying very hard was made to fall by his stepping on it, causing its body to fall apart.

"Hey, hey, Brother Bird, Father Bird, no! Please hold on for another half minute!" Kin'emon's mind breaks down screaming, did he not die at the hands of the enemy and end up being pitted against his... teammates?

Unfortunately, things would not turn out the way he wanted them to, and soon, the big bird fragmented, and Kin'emon tumbled down with a dance.

In the direst of moments, Kanjuro flew in on a brand new mount and took Kin'emon in a princess hug.

Kin'emon was about to say thanks, but the familiar shaking sensation reappeared, and looking down, the big bird beneath him did indeed show signs of disintegrating again.

"No, shit! Again?" Kin'emon's mind exploded with yells.

"It's slightly stronger this time than last time, but two of them are still a bit too much to hold up, so sorry, Kin'emon!"

Kin'emon was puzzled when he suddenly realized that Kanjuro had changed his holding stance to a carry and then threw himself violently in the direction of the pirate ship.

"This is what I learned from Raizo, ninjutsu - the art of 'sword' in hand!"

"Kanjuro, wait for me!" Kin'emon screamed, and if he hadn't promptly hardened his body with Busoshoku Haki, he would have been shot to pieces by now.

"No, that guy's onboard!" A crowd of pirates screamed.

Stepping on the stern deck with Kin'emon's strength returned, and the full fury finally found a window to vent its anger.

"Die for me, Fire Willow One Flash!"

It had to be said that Kin'emon, who was a retainer of Kozuki Oden, was very strong, especially for these half-witted pirates.

The pirates were quickly slaughtered, except for a few alive who were reserved to get information.

Seeing that the battle was over, Raizo, who had been guarding Momonosuke's side, came from afar in a small boat.

"It's just a bunch of eyeless pirates, and they almost turned us over in the gutter. The outside world is dangerous!" Raizo jumped onto the deck from the boat with Momonosuke in his arms and sighed.

Kin'emon, on the other hand, looked serious, "Trouble, our information has been leaked, those pirates are simply coming for Momonosuke-sama!"

"What? Did Ryousuke-kun betray us?" Kanjuro was a little incredulous.

"Just ask them." Kin'emon grabbed a pirate for questioning, "Say, where did you get your information?"

After witnessing the Kin'emon massacre scene, the captured pirates didn't dare to hide it at all.

"It is said that ... was spread by the disciples of the Thunder Swordsman when the Red Swordsman defeated the Thunder Swordsman, so they planned to use your message to buy their lives ...."

"I'm not very clear about what happened afterward, but I heard that the disciples who escaped by playing dead spread the news to add to the Red Swordsman's troubles."

"I ... that's all I know, you guys do me a favor and put ..."

Kin'emon, who had silenced the pirates with a sword, explained, "The entire sea may be searching for Momonosuke-sama right now, and he must not be allowed to leak our coordinates. Even if it means being a villain who destroys novices, I'll admit it!"

Kanjuro and Raizo nodded as well, having to do extraordinary things in extraordinary times!

"What is the origin of that Red Swordsman that he was able to defeat that traitor Ryou ... Ishihara!" Kanjuro hated to change his voice.

"It doesn't matter anymore. The key issue is that we definitely can't go to the Thunder Country now, and there are only two paths before us."

Kin'emon said in a deep voice, "Either return to Wano country or go to Zou for help!"

"This ... "Raizo and Kanjuro turned their attention to Momonosuke, who was in no position to make decisions on such matters.

Momonosuke, in a rare moment of seriousness, took a deep breath and said, "Go to Zou, we don't know if Inuarashi and Nekomamushi are still alive, but our only hope is on Zou Island!"
