Takes Momonosuke for Life

"Momonosuke-sama, don't worry, there are many medical doctors out there. I heard that there is a great medical country on the Grand Line called the Kingdom of Drum, the doctors there are so skilled that even a broken neck can be stitched back by them together, your holy relic will be able to pick up ..." Kin'emon consoled, intending to pick up the cut and the holy relic, a sword flash, and the man's symbol was wholly reduced by that to ashes.

There was a sudden silence watching this scene.

Well, it's all gone, and no doctor with any medical expertise could have picked it back up!

Originally Momonosuke had been expectant, holding back the pain and listening to Kin'emon's consolation, but after seeing this scene, both physical pain and spiritual despair erupted, crying out and wailing.

"Don't worry, Momonosuke-sama, there's still hope!" Nekomamushi also spoke up for comfort, "There is a devil fruit known as Ope Ope no Mi on the outer seas, and if you can get it, you will be able to get a new holy object for you, Momonosuke-sama."

Hearing Nekomamushi's statement, Kin'emon and the others calmed down a bit. Nothing was impossible in this fantasy sea with its devil fruit.

Momonosuke choked up and asked, "So ... that other living creature's one can be replaced by that fruit?"

Nekomamushi twitched the bottom corner of his mouth. To appease him, he had to say patiently, "It's possible if you can find the corresponding holy object, even if you want the dragon root for Momonosuke-sama, you can put it on."

Listening to this awful conversation, CP0, who has a broken arm, couldn't resist, "Enough! All of you shut up!"

"In your current position, I thought you'd run away with your tail between your legs?" Vista scoffed.

However, the CP0 officer ignored him and instead looked with scrupulous eyes at Apophis, who stood with his sword at the side, "I don't know why, but your killing intent for that brat shouldn't be wrong. So, let's cooperate! Once I've drained that brat of his usefulness, I'll put him at your disposal. How about that?"

Hearing the CP0 officer's words make the others stared at him, almost suspecting something wrong with their hearing.

That man cut off your arm with his own hands! It's a bit too much to let go of hatred like that!

"That's what CP0 has always really done. Nothing can't be put down by anything as long as it gets the job done." Vista said quietly.

The hearts of several people in Kin'emon were sinking. These two parties together could be in real trouble.

After all, they had Momonosuke to protect and would inevitably be restricted in a fight, while that CP0 had a broken arm, but Apophis was strong enough to compensate for that weakness.

The CP0 officer was once again blown away with a sword, blood spurting wildly from his mouth. Who knew that Apophis cut out with a backhanded sword and caught off guard.

"Not interested!" The indifferent voice echoed through the forest, leaving Kin'emon and the others stunned there, only to find that they could not comprehend each other's thought paths.

Could it be that the other party isn't going to take action against Momonosuke-sama?

"Crazy!" The CP0 officer, on the other hand, covered his chest wound and cursed in his heart. This powerful and incomprehensible madman was the one they hated to run into in their mission.

Before the few people at Kin'emon could regain their senses, Apophis leaped and fell once more. The crimson blade seemed to slice through even the sunlight, falling straight towards Momonosuke's position.

The good news was that years of fighting had kept Vista alert, and he had danced his twin swords to meet Apophis as he rushed out.

"Rose Rondo!"

The rose petals were like bullets that instantly sliced through the bloody sword slashes, while the red slashes also came in waves like a tidal wave, eventually submerging the petals completely.

At the same time, Vista crossed his two swords and blocked the ancient demon longsword. And although it looked a bit strenuous. His bent eight-headed beard was trembling slightly. It was still real, the first time someone had blocked Apophis's decapitation, so much so that Kin'emon and the others were all a bit passionate about it.

"Great! He blocked Apophis's cutting, and Captain Vista is so reliable!"

"A worthy captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' team of five!"

On the other hand, Vista had a hard time saying anything; their sword skills might be similar, but the other was so much stronger than him in terms of power that his hands were slightly numb from holding the sword.

Especially after hearing the exchange of praise from a few people at Kin'emon, Vista almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Hopefully, you guys are just there to patronize, huh?

It's not like he blames Kin'emon and the others for that.

Previously, they had intervened in the battle between Nekomamushi and Apophis because the situation was dire. Mink Tribe themselves didn't seem to have any particular opinion on the matter, which was why they had intervened.

Now, with Vista evenly looking matched against Apophis and his aura of being the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' team of five, Kin'emon mistakenly thought that a siege would be detrimental the Whitebeard Pirates, which was why he was cheerfully acting as a cheerleader on the side.

Seeing that Vista seemed to be a little distracted, Apophis naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity and overwhelmed his opponent with a fierce attack, instantly adding dozens of small wounds to his body.

"No good! Captain Vista is in danger!" Vista was already in danger in the blink of an eye, and the Guardian's Nekomamushi couldn't care less and rushed to reinforce him.

"Opportunity!" The CP0 officer, who had been lying on the ground and pretending to be a wounded man, saw that only Raizo was left to protect Momonosuke. And instantly transformed into a large lizard, flicked out his tongue at a speed that exceeded his limits, rolled up Momonosuke, and swallowed him, then quickly fled to the forest.

Not long after entering the bush from which it came, the large lizard's form disappeared abruptly, leaving minks around it ready to chase, a bit stunned for a moment.

"Momonosuke-sama was eaten by...! A death sentence, a death sentence! There is no redemption in a hundred deaths!" Raizo, who was in charge of guarding Momonosuke, collapsed and screamed, immediately pulling out his knife to commit hara-kiri!

At this point, the few people who were still fighting reacted with hindsight, first stopping Raizo from committing suicide, "Only a living Momonosuke-sama can work. That CP0 will not let him die. As long as we find Momonosuke-sama as soon as possible, we'll still have a chance!"

Vista also nodded and said, "That guy ate Wani Wani no Mi Model: Chameleon, and his real body should still be around here."

Nekomamushi, on the other hand, sighed, "If only Inuarashi were here, even if he couldn't see, his nose would help us find Momonosuke-sama!"

"Wani Wani no Mi Model: Chameleon? Well, that saves me some work!" Apophis thought to himself, putting away his longsword and heading in the direction that Kenbunshoku perceived.

PS1: Tomorrow, I'm going to kill Momonosuke and wish him good luck in heaven afterward.

PS2: Why do quite a few people in the comments section say there's no need to kill Momonosuke? Is it because I've fallen out of fashion? Or did you forgive him after seeing his sister? (???????????)
