Pirates: Vice Captain of the Nine Snakes Pirates!

The girls from the Nine Snakes Pirates strolled around for a few hours, and their interest finally died down.

And they also discovered that there were more and more spies monitoring them.

But they didn't care because they were leaving the City of Flowers.

However, there was one person that Gerard was concerned about. After he came out of the tavern, Kyoshiro had been following them.

Kyoshiro seemed to know that he had been discovered, but he did not seem to be afraid of the Nine Snakes Pirates.

Jellal guessed that it was because Wano Country was a closed country, otherwise if he knew the identity of the Nine Snakes Pirates, Kyoshiro would not dare to follow.

But this time Gerard guessed wrong.

The reason why Kyoshiro followed the Nine Snake Pirates was only because of the Wado Ichimonji in Kuina's hand!

----

After leaving the Flower Capital, the Nine Snakes Pirates set out on the road to Linghou.

Lady Snake, Jellal, that samurai is still following us, do you want to kill him?" Kuina asked with her eyes wide open and an innocent look on her face.

The heartbeat of Kyoshiro, who was secretly following, suddenly accelerated. He never expected that this little Lolita could say such cruel words.

Just when he was still hesitating whether to show up, he found that Gerard was looking at him!

Okay, no more hesitation.

Kyoshiro stood up without hesitation and said sincerely, "I am truly sorry. Please forgive my rudeness. I have no ill will towards you."

After that, Kyoshiro looked straight at Kuina with a sharp gaze, thinking to himself: If his guess is correct, this little girl must have some kind of connection with the Shimotsuki family. You know, the famous sword Wado Ichimonji is very famous among the samurai of Wano Country!

"Denjiro, one of the Nine Red Scabbards and a retainer of Kozuki Oden, now goes by the alias Kyoshiro, and has gained the trust of Kurozumi Orochi and become one of his guards.

If you can't give a reasonable explanation today, I'm afraid I will throw you to the Black Charcoal Snake!" Jellal's tone was as cold as frost, chilling.

When Kuangshilang heard this, he felt like he was struck by lightning and his heart was shaken.

I thought he hid well, even Kurozumi Orochi trusted him.

But he never expected that Gerard knew his true identity so well and knew it so thoroughly.

His face was pale and his heart was pounding. He regretted what he had done today. It was really reckless.

If he were alone, he would not be afraid of the group of people in front of him, but he still had to protect Miss Hiyori, so he couldn't die yet!

“Don’t get me wrong, I was just a little curious about her identity because I recognized the knife in her hand.

It's Wado Ichimonji of the Shimotsuki family. I wonder if this lady is a descendant of the Shimotsuki family?" Kyoshiro said with a hint of expectation and curiosity in his eyes.

The Shimotsuki family was once the daimyo of the Reigo region, and was a family that supported the Kozuki family.

Therefore, Kyoshiro has a good impression of the people of the Shimotsuki family, and whether he can survive today may depend on this lady holding the Wado Ichimonji.

Kuina's young forehead wrinkled slightly, and then she looked at the Wado Ichimonji in her hand.

"Yes, I am from the Shimotsuki family, and Shimotsuki Koshiro is my father!" Kuina said coldly.

"As expected, how is Senior Kozaburo? And Lord Koshiro, has he returned to Wano Country now?" Kyoshiro was very excited.

The lineage of Shimotsuki Kozaburo not only possesses outstanding sword-making skills, but also extraordinary Isshin-ryu swordsmanship.

If those two adults returned to Wano Country, with the strength of the Shimotsuki family, they would have hope of driving away Kurozumi Orochi and finding Lord Momonosuke!

"I may disappoint you. My father did not return to Wano Country, and my grandfather passed away a long time ago, so you don't have to pin your hopes on our Shimotsuki family." Kuina said calmly.

She is not a child anymore.

Especially after this trip to Wano Country, she also learned a lot about Wano Country.

She really had no good feelings towards the Kozuki family.

"Is this so..."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to do that, it's just...ah~"

"Um... can I leave? I really have no ill will towards you, and I still have the mission to protect Miss Hiyori." Kyoshiro looked at Jellal with a pleading tone.

Jellal ignored him and just looked down at Kuina. He was willing to leave the decision to Kuina.

Kuina took a deep look at Kyoshiro and said calmly, "Go away."

"Thank you, Miss!"

"By the way, Kurozumi Orochi already knows your whereabouts. He hasn't attacked you yet, probably because he sought help from the Beasts Pirates."

Kyoshiro remembered that Kurozumi Orochi had invited Quinn today, and immediately told the Nine Snakes Pirates.

"You don't have to worry about this, you can go." Gerard said coldly.

"Yes, yes, I'll leave now..." Kyoshiro said and immediately disappeared from the spot.

"Let's go, Snake Princess. I don't think Kaido will come so soon. It's possible that only a few of his big bosses will come." Jellal said softly.

The Empress nodded, and the group continued on their way to the Linghou area.

After the Nine Snakes Pirates left, Kyoshiro appeared again at the same place.

He looked quietly in the direction where the Nine Snakes Pirates left. Even though he could no longer see anyone, his heart still couldn't stop trembling.

"Those two people... are very strong! No, this group of people are very strong.

If...ah, how is it possible." Kyoshiro muttered to himself while standing there.

Just now, for a moment, he thought that the young lady of the Shimotsuki family would help them drive away Kurozumi Orochi and the Beasts Pirates and regain the position of general of Wano Country.

However, the young lady from the Shimotsuki family obviously had no good feelings towards them, so as for helping them, that was impossible.

"Lord Kyoshiro! General Orochi wants you to go back!" The voice of a samurai came, bringing Kyoshiro back to his senses.

"I understand. I'll go back now." Kyoshiro retracted his gaze and then ran towards the general's mansion.

Now he is still Kyoshiro, and the samurai guard of Kurozumi Orochi.

----

On Onigashima, Kaido and Flame King were still listening to Quinn's report.

"Uh-huh... The Nine Snakes Pirates? What are they doing in Wano Country? Have you found out their purpose?" Kaido asked calmly, and then continued drinking.

"Well... not yet... Boss Kaido, I think since they have already joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea, shouldn't we expel them from Wano Country as soon as possible?" Quinn suggested.

"Guluuluulu..."

"Well... then I'll go for it. After all, he's the descendant of an old friend, so I should give him some face..." Kaido hung the mace around his waist, and then immediately rushed out of Onigashima!

Only Jhin and Quinn were left standing there in a daze.

"The descendant of an old friend? Could it be that Boss Kaido has some connection with the Nine Snakes Pirates?" Jin lowered his head and frowned, thinking.

"I don't know either. I'm going back to the quarry first. I've been away for so long. I'm sure those little cuties must have missed me a lot. Hahaha!"

When Quinn thought of the slaves in the quarry, a cruel look appeared on his face.
