Momonosuke's Good Friday

"A Rokushiki - Shigan?" Sensing the familiar fluctuation and the pure white clothing out of the corner of his eye, Apophis quickly identified the intruders, "Even the World Government's CP0 has gotten involved, it seems they still have high hopes for the Wano Country."

This sudden change also dumbfounded Nekomamushi and Kin'emon. They couldn't be bothered to check on Kanjuro's injuries, as they immediately prepared to disengage from the battle to go after him forcefully.

"Damn bastard, put down Momonosuke-sama for me!"

However, before they could move, the forest trees exploded, and the three white-masked men forced back.

Emerging from the forest was arrogant-looking pirates, led by a man with twin swords in his hands and his trademark eight-pronged beard curved and raised.

The minks who had returned to their senses were all amazed at the scene. Who the hell was that kid who had captured. But it had attracted three teams of forces to enter, and none of those three parties looked like weaklings.

Apophis, the first one to enter, naturally, needless to say, blocked the combined attack of Boss Nekomamushi and Kin'emon and the others all by himself, powerful beyond measure!

Those three white-masked men were able to injure Kanjuro in an instant severely, and although there was an element of the surprise attack, there was no doubt about their strength.

As for the last group of pirates to enter, their strength should not be underestimated by minks as they could push the masked man back.

For a moment, the surrounding minks quieted down as well, the heavy pressure suffocating them.

If this three-way siege were to take place, would they Mink Tribe... be able to withstand it?

Kin'emon, on the other hand, stared at the last group of pirates to make their entrance and asked in surprise, "Raizo, you're not dead? How did you end up with those pirates?"

During the conversation, Kin'emon was implicitly on alert, fearing that Raizo had also defected. Though he didn't want to believe it, he couldn't afford to be less careful with Ishihara's precedent.

Instead, Nekomamushi recognized him at once, "Captain Vista, it's you!"

Raizo followed suit with an excited explanation, "Kin'emon, you remember the Whitebeard Pirates that Oden-sama mentioned, right? He is Vista-sama, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' squad of five, and he's here to help us!"

"The Whitebeard Pirates!" Kin'emon stared. He was the one who had heard Oden-sama mention that the man that Oden-sama respected and was ashamed of was the legendary Whitebeard, who had the reputation of being the strongest in the world!

Plus, he didn't want to believe in his heart that Raizo would defect, so he quickly approved of their story, "Vista-sama, please make sure you don't let those masks escape!"

"Don't worry, as strong as they are. These people not nearly as strong as they could be if they want to escape before me!"

At that moment, three masked men of different sizes also spoke up, "Flower Sword Vista, you know who we are, don't you! It's not wise to offend us."

"It's just some trash that only hides in the dark, is there anything to be so proud of, CP0!" laughed Vista, "And the whole world knows that the unwise choice would have been to make an enemy of our Whitebeard Pirates!"

"You ..." the tallest CP0 stepped forward and was about to yell at them, but their officer raised his right hand, signaling for them to stop, before returning to the queue.

"Since you're planning to protect this brat, that's better!" The CP0 officer grabbed Momonosuke's neck with his left hand and raised it into the air, where Momonosuke looked pale, his clumsy legs kicking mindlessly in mid-air, looking miserable.

"If you don't back off, I'm going to strangle him right now."

"Momonosuke-sama!" Kin'emon growled and went forward, while the CP0 officer calmly increased the strength of his hands, Momonosuke's face directly from blue to purple, eyes like dead fish bulging out, scared Kin'emon quickly retracted his right foot that stepped out, and hurriedly reassured.

"Don't you mess with me? I'm just not going over there."

Vista frowned and said, "How dare you use a child as a threat. It seems that calling you trash is lifting you!"

"Oh, since Captain Vista knows about us CP0, he should also know something about our code of conduct, right?" The CP0 officer smiled and said, "It doesn't matter to us what means used as long as we can achieve our goal!"

"So don't ever doubt that we are capable of doing such things as killing hostages!"

Nekomamushi and Kin'emon were both incredibly suffocating. This feeling of having to watch but not being able to do anything about it was just too much to bear!

Ta-da! Ta-da! Ta-da!

The frozen atmosphere was interrupted by the sound of light footsteps.

Heck, Apophis was walking casually in the direction of where several CP0s were.

"One more step forward, and this brat will be strangled by our officer!" The tallest CP0 made a threatening statement.

They hadn't seen the scene of Apophis's previous painful death. They thought that the other side, like the other pirates, was entertaining the idea of capturing Momonosuke alive to impress Kaido.

"Then you must ... not be reluctant to do it!" Apophis whispered, turning into a blood rainbow and flying towards the three.

The CP0 officer didn't expect Apophis to do it and instead hesitated for a moment to strangle Momonosuke following the harsh words he had laid down. His stunned state of mind allowed the others to do so.

First, the tallest CP0 stood in front of the officer, his muscles bulging, his loose robe dancing without wind.

Tekkai - Go!

Nekomamushi and the others were staring at each other, is this CP or something desperate? Are you going to take a hard hit from a sick chop like Apophis?

Sure enough, the moment that CP0 made contact with the sword blade, his body flew around in pieces, guts and blood splattered all over their officer, naturally including Momonosuke, who caught in the officer's hands.

The pupils beneath the CP0 officer's mask contracted sharply, not only because of Apophis' strength but also because of the other party's guts, even they CP0 dared to kill, was this a blatant provocation to the World Government?

However, he didn't have time to overthink it, as Apophis's cutting blow was flying towards him with residual momentum.

With a shake of his right hand, the CP0 officer steeply slipped a longsword from his loose sleeve robe and met it after wrapping it around the dark Busoshoku Haki.

The moment the blades clashed, the CP0 officer stumbled and nearly fell over from the sword's tremendous force.

To analogize the CP organization to the Marine, CP 1-8 are the Four Seas branch, CP9 is the branch on the Grand Line, and CP0 is the Headquarters.

This CP0 officer was not weak, at least at the elite vice-admiral level in this headquarters. Still, he already suppresses by Apophis's crazy behavior. With one hand on Momonosuke, he could only hold his sword with one hand, so naturally, he couldn't match Apophis in strength.

The situation was so precarious that he could only resist left and right, but as he moved and dodged, spots of yellow splattered, and even a number of them flew into the eye area beneath the mask.

Stink! The Ultimate Stench!

The CP0 officer couldn't help but get distracted looking to his left and almost got cut down by Apophis for being so distracted.

What did he see?

A conspicuous sink mark in the crotch of Momonosuke's pants, as well as liquid moistening, had been shit out of the blood he'd splashed on his face earlier. The violent dodging and shaking he'd done by lifting Momonosuke had finally caused some of the results to splash out and burst onto his mask.

The thought that there was shit in the eyeball area beneath his mask once again had the CP0 officer's heart racing, and Apophis caught the breach and cut off his left hand with a sword.

"Ninjutsu - Teleportation Technique!"

Raizo, who had been waiting for a long time, caught the broken hand in the air and saved Momonosuke, a stench so pungent that it almost made him faint.

At that moment, Momonosuke finally recovered from the shock of the series of changes and bawled, tearing his heart out, even though he hadn't been this sad when he fled from Wano Country.

Raizo, who thought that Momonosuke was scared, endured the discomfort at the tip of his nose and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, Momonosuke-sama, you're safe now."

However, his consolations did not work at all, and instead, Momonosuke cried even harder.

At this point, Kin'emon pointed to the ground and shivered, "That ... that wouldn't be ...."

Raizo and the others looked in the direction that Kin'emon pointed out, and all of them got cold in the crotch, and what fell to the ground was a male symbol, although it was only the size of an earthworm, it was indeed that one without fault.

Wait, this spec should only be available at...

Raizo and the others looked stiffly at the incomparably sad Momonosuke, who was crying. Infinite sorrow rising in their hearts. Kozuki clan really... extinct this time!
