General Lanlin of One Piece

"I never thought that there is an independent body of water thousands of meters away from the New World Ocean. What is this? An inland sea?"

On the Kirin, Hibari looked curiously at the huge lake that surrounded the entire Wano Country.

Yamato shook his head, "No, that's not sea water. The water here is fresh water, and there are giant carps unique to Wano Country in it. If we want to enter Wano Country, we have to find a way to get those giant carps that can climb waterfalls to pull the boat up from Kuri Waterfall."

"I heard from the old man in Flower Capital that a long time ago, the real Wano Country was more than ten times larger than it is now. It was located at the bottom of this freshwater lake, but now it has been submerged by the lake."

"Freshwater lake? So big?" Yunlark was a little surprised.

Rorschach confirmed Yamato's statement, pointed to a towering mountain in the distance, and made some additions.

"See that mountain? The entire Wano Country is actually built around this huge Fujiyama."

"Eight hundred years ago, the ancient country of Wano was established at the foot of Fujiyama. Its area was indeed more than ten times larger than it is now. Perhaps to fight against foreign enemies or to resist tsunamis, they built a wall surrounding the entire country."

"Thousands of years passed, and the rain that only came in but not out flooded the ancient Wano Country, forcing the people of Wano Country to move their country to the hillside of Fujiyama."

"What kind of operation is this? They built such a high wall, but it ended up flooding themselves? Didn't the people here ever think of making a few holes in the wall for drainage?" Drake found it difficult to understand the thought process of the ancient people of Wano Country.

"This is not what we should be thinking about. Well, cheer up and fight a beautiful victory."

Rorschach raised his right hand, and dozens of warships following closely behind him landed smoothly on the lake outside the Country of Wano.

"Are we going to go straight to Kaido's lair, Onigashima?" Smoker asked.

Rorschach nodded. "Well, open the coating on the warship, go underwater, surround Onigashima, and catch him off guard."

"Will Kaido find us? Although we can avoid being discovered by the patrol boats of the Beasts Pirates by going underwater, we can't defend against Kaido's Observation Haki."

"It doesn't matter. Kaido is not on Onigashima now. There are only the Three Calamities and Six Sons, his army of gifters, and a few thousand small pirates. Just go over there, don't be stingy with your ammunition, and fire at full power."

Rorschach turned to look at Enelu and Hibari, and ordered: "Enelu, use your expertise to blast Onigashima for me with Thunder Blade. Hibari, you create thunderclouds and cooperate with Enelu's actions."

"Yes." Enelu and Hibari took the order and quickly flew into the sky. One turned into lightning and the other turned into dark clouds, and they worked together to create a large-scale thunderstorm.

Smoker, Drake and others were about to take action and release the coating on the warship, but Luo stood up at this time, spread out his five fingers, and air waves swirled at his fingertips.

He looked in the direction of Onigashima and said expressionlessly, "Actually, there's no need to go through so much trouble. I can lead you all to teleport silently and rush directly to the face of the Beasts Pirates."

"You can do this kind of thing?" Yamato was a little shocked.

But Rorschach shook his head and rejected Luo's proposal.

He said: "Your ability consumes too much energy. It is too strenuous for you to transfer so many warships at the same time. It is unnecessary. This time, we don't need to fight fast. We need to fight steadily and try to take down the Beasts Pirates at the lowest cost."

Since Rorschach disagreed, Luo had nothing to say. He nodded and prepared to go.

After explaining everything to everyone, Rorschach didn't stay here any longer. He reached out and grabbed Zoro's shoulder, "Zoro, let's go find Kaido."

"Okay." Zoro did not refuse and let Rorschach grab him and leave the warship.

In the blink of an eye, the two entered Wano Country and came to the vicinity of Kuri's Eikasa Village.

"What are we doing here? Is Kaido around here?"

Standing on the hillside and looking down, you can see a dilapidated and desolate village. Several old women with sallow faces are sitting under the eaves, hunched over, weaving winnowing baskets, bamboo baskets and other woven things.

Sauron did not see any young and middle-aged people in this village, and there were even very few men. There were only some skinny children who leaned weakly against the women, with no desire to play and fight.

Zoro could see that these people probably hadn't had a full meal for a long time. They were so hungry that they were skin and bones, and almost unrecognizable.

"No hurry, let's go find someone first."

The two of them walked through the road in the middle of the village, attracting the attention of some villagers along the way.

There was only numbness and confusion in the old women's eyes, while the children were curious and fearful.

After a while, the two arrived at the edge of the Ebisu Village, and Zoro saw a thatched house standing alone outside the village, built on a slope with its back to a bamboo forest.

When you arrive in front of the thatched house, you can see several shelves inside with various clay dolls on them. Some of the clay is still fresh and not completely dry, which shows that someone lived here not long ago.

Rorschach shifted his gaze from the dolls on the shelf to the only wooden door in the thatched hut.

"Okay, stop hiding and come out. I have something to talk to you about. Tenguyama Hichetsu, or should I call you Kozuki Sukiyaki?"

After Rorschach's voice fell, the thatched hut was quiet for a moment, and the wooden door was slowly pushed open.

A man wearing a long-nosed Tengu mask walked out, but did not approach. Instead, he stood in front of the wooden door and looked at Rorschach with hostility.

"I didn't expect that after hiding my identity for more than 20 years, I was still discovered. Are you Kaido's man, or Orochi's man? Are you looking for me to wipe out the roots?"

Before Rorschach could answer, Sukiyaki quickly noticed the navy uniform he was wearing and was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.

“You’re… a Marine?”

Then he saw Zoro standing next to Rorschach and was even more surprised.

"Niu Wan? You...you are not dead? No...that's not right, you are not Niu Wan. Who...are you?"

"As you can see, I am a navy. As for the one next to me, although he is not the Shimotsuki Gyumaru you mentioned, he is also a descendant of the Shimotsuki family." Rorschach patted Zoro on the shoulder and said.

Sukiyaki looked at Rorschach, his body tense, and he did not let down his guard because of what Rorschach said.

"Why is the navy here? Wano Country has always been self-isolating and has never had the habit of accepting outsiders, not to mention that this country is now occupied by Kaido. Don't tell me that your navy is here to fight Kaido."

"Why not?" Rorschach glanced behind him.

Behind the crack of the wooden door, there was a pair of black eyes, looking out through the crack.

There was a person hiding behind the wooden door, a little girl. She was holding her breath, not daring to breathe, and was completely unaware that her little heart was beating nervously.

The moment her eyes met Rorschach's, the little girl screamed in fear like a frightened rabbit and hid behind the crack in the door.

Sukiyaki heard the noise behind him, sighed, dropped the wooden sword he was holding tightly in his hand, and looked at Rorschach.
