Starting from the pirates, pushing the world.

Chapter 2694 The Crossroads of Life Before the Prison Gate!

The capital of flowers.

This ancient city is a gathering place for countless powerful individuals and forces.

At this moment, undercurrents are surging because of the sudden change.

Although it was late at night.

But for those behemoths that occupy this place...

The commotion that suddenly appeared in Kabukicho, Edo.

It's like throwing a boulder into a calm lake.

Inside the Japanese-style garden of the Uchiha clan's territory in the western part of the city.

Dozens of tall figures stood on the rooftop.

Pairs of scarlet Sharingan eyes swirled in the darkness.

They were gazing southeast of Kabukicho.

Fugaku Uchiha, dressed in a dark purple kimono, sat on the tatami mat inside the house with his arms crossed.

Together with the itcher beside me, we calmly admired the five moons, each shining with a different light, in the night sky.

"Two blocks underground that were 'transported' from another planet."

“Father, this creator of the starfish seems to be a bit willful.”

Four-year-old Itachi Uchiha said softly after hearing his father's words.

"Be careful!"

Fugaku Uchiha whispered sternly, "We only need to understand, accept, and adapt to the ever-changing environment. We have no right to judge the actions of the Creator. Be careful what you say!"

In order to prevent various factions within the city from inquiring about the situation or causing other unrest.

Mihawk then instructed the staff of General City to inform them of the specific situation.

Nevertheless, it still aroused the curiosity of many people.

The other side is the territory of the Thousand Hands Clan.

Tobirama Senju looked helplessly at his older brother, who was yawning and heading back to his bedroom.

Physiologically, I don't need to sleep.

But he would still make time to spend with his sister-in-law as much as possible.

They said that since they were finally resurrected, they should cherish their current life.

As for the newly emerging areas.

Since it was Lord Im who did it, then it's nothing serious. I'll go check on him another day.

Then Tobirama Senju turned and gazed at the night sky, thinking to himself:
"What kind of place could possibly warrant the personal intervention of that creator to relocate an entire neighborhood?"

He felt there must be a reason for this.

And in the Ubuyashiki family mansion.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki regained his sight and was in good health.

She was standing in front of a wisteria tree, accompanied by Jingu Tenon.

Let the bright moonlight fall on my face, and carefully feel the unfamiliar noise in the night breeze.

"Hehe, a new guest has arrived."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki's voice was as gentle as a spring breeze as ever.

"Although I don't know what joys and sorrows have happened there."

"But since we've come to this land, it must be fate."

"The police blocking off the streets is also giving them time to adjust."

"After all, anyone would feel uneasy about suddenly leaving their homeland."

"But it's quite interesting."

Jingu Amane looked at him curiously: "What did you see this time?"

"I saw a few people who made the Flower Capital more lively, the Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Shop)."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki murmured softly.

The next morning.

Kyoto City, Gintama Star.

Since being designated as the political center of the World Government here.

Local residents have noticed that the atmosphere and environment are changing rapidly.

Fortunately, no serious unrest or chaos occurred.

There are just more and more strange people and things.

I've heard that many places are still undergoing large-scale construction.

They built government compounds, judicial bureaus, World Bank branches, portal plazas, and so on.

Meanwhile, in the suburbs, the police had just taken over the Kyoto prison from the 'CP'.

That heavy, black iron gate seemed to isolate everything.

It slowly opened to both sides, accompanied by a tooth-grinding metallic scraping sound.

The morning sunlight didn't bring much warmth.

Instead, the light shone on several slightly disheveled figures.

A long shadow stretched out behind him.

The first to emerge was Takasugi Shinsuke, still wearing that purple-gold yukata.

His injuries have already healed inside.

But that single eye always exuded gloom and coldness.

It seems that his days in prison have not worn away his edges.

Instead, it made him like a demonic sword that had been sheathed for too long and was eager to be used.

Beside him was Katsura Kotaro, who maintained an inexplicable elegance and composure even while imprisoned.

He straightened his slightly wrinkled collar and took a deep breath of the fresh air outside.

Kuroko no Taisuke, who is almost one with the shadows or has shadows of his own.

He silently followed behind the two.

However, if you don't pay close attention, it's easy to overlook his presence.

"Lord Jinsuke!"

At this moment, several people who had been waiting outside the gate rushed up.

With tears welling up in her eyes, Matako Kurishima threw herself into Takasugi's arms, her voice choked with sobs.

"You're finally out!"

"Waaaaah, I was so worried about you!"

"Youzi, be quiet."

Although Takasugi said this, his tense body relaxed slightly, allowing his subordinate to cry beside him.

Then, Kawakami Bansei, wearing sunglasses and headphones, walked forward carrying a shamisen.

Although his expression was calm, his trembling fingers betrayed his true feelings.

"Your Highness, it is my honor to hear your melody again."

Takeichi Heita said in a deep voice, "I told you long ago that Lord Takasugi's fortunes are good."

"Not bad, looks like you guys are all pretty lucky to be alive~"

Takasugi glanced at the three high-ranking officers of the Kiheitai and smiled.

"It wasn't just good fortune, it was luck."

Takeshi Henpeita said solemnly, "If it weren't for the fact that Lord Mansaki and Miss Matako were seriously injured in the previous battle and have been staying at the Oedo Hospital, which is far from Kabukicho, and I have been taking care of them, we would probably be..."

At this point, his voice abruptly stopped, and his expression became unusually strange.

"Also what?"

Takasugi keenly sensed that something was wrong, and then looked around, his brows furrowing.

"Where's Gintoki?"

Based on his understanding of Sakata Gintoki, even if he didn't come to welcome him...

At the very least, they would hide in some corner, picking their noses and laughing at their pathetic state.

Katsura Kotaro suddenly stepped forward and asked, "Why isn't Elizabeth here?"

"Is it still sleeping?"

"How can a pet not come to pick up its owner from prison!"

Kawakami Bansei, Kurishima Matako, and Takeichi Henpeita looked at each other in bewilderment.

After a moment of silence, Kawakami Bansei spoke:

"Your Highness Jinzhu, Your Excellency Gui, please prepare yourselves mentally."

"Kabukicho disappeared last night."

"what?"

Takasugi Shinsuke narrowed his eyes: "Wanqi, your lame jokes aren't funny at all."

"This is not a joke; it truly means physical disappearance."

Matako quickly wiped away her tears.

Pointing in the distance in the direction where Kabukicho should have been.

There was still a hint of shock in her voice.

"Last night, the entire Kabukicho district, along with the underground Yoshiwara, was uprooted by an unimaginable force."

"Then the World Government issued a statement."

"They say they were transferred to their native starfish by the 'Creator'."

"Gintoki and the others were taken away while they were still in Kabukicho."

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

Takasugi Shinsuke stood frozen in place, while Katsura Kotaro's mouth dropped open.

"What's this?"

Coming to his senses, Takasugi muttered a curse under his breath: "If that's the case, then we have to find a way to get there."

"That's right!"

Katsura Kotaro clenched his fists, his eyes becoming incredibly determined.

"Elizabeth is still there, I must reunite with her!"

"Without me by its side, it will surely die of loneliness, and so will Lord Ikumatsu."

"Good morning, everyone."

But he hadn't finished speaking.

A gentle yet authoritative voice reached everyone's ears.
