I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

That night, in a cave on the shore of Jiuli, on the Sunshine.

"What's wrong, Zoro?"

The green algae-headed man, whose good deeds were interrupted, had a fierce look on his face: "There are a few blind guys who have nothing better to do than to come here and seek death."

Just as he finished speaking, a terrifying blade light broke through the air, and a few screams were heard from the distant sky, followed by broken wings and arms and several half-figures falling into the sea.

Several bird-like artificial devil fruit users who were ordered to blow up the Sunshine died on the spot before they even saw the Sunshine.

……

The next day, Wano Country, Jiuli, Oden Castle.

"Lord Momonosuke, Miss Hiyori, the eight of us have carried out the will of Lord Oden, the founder of the nation, and have endured for twenty years. For months, we have been recruiting comrades who can fight together, risking our lives! Finally, we have gathered over four thousand men, weapons in place! Ships in place! We are strong enough to revolt at the Fire Festival tonight. We have agreed to gather at Changying Port in the evening and march to Onigashima!"

Kin'emon led the other five retainers of Oden and knelt before the young man and the beautiful woman, saying passionately, "Lord Momonosuke! We wish to bring the traitor Kurozumi Orochi to Changying Port and behead him in public as a sacrifice to show our determination to take Kaido's head! We have endured hardships and hardships until now, and we are determined to die. Please give the order!"

"...Kinmen Guard, shouldn't we wait for Luffy and the others to set off together?" Momonosuke sounded a little worried.

"Lord Momonosuke, Lord Luffy agreed to help us drive away Kaido and saved me from danger several times. He is a trustworthy ally. Lord Luffy is still in training, but to ensure the success of the gathering, we must go first to meet up with our comrades. Don't worry, they will definitely come back!" Kanjuro tried his best to persuade him. It was also his suggestion to bring Orochi to Changying Port and behead him in public. Since it would help boost morale, everyone agreed.

Seeing that Momonosuke was still hesitating.

Cross-dressing masters Kikunojo, Ashura Douji, and others were already impatient: "Master Momonosuke, please rest assured! We will do our utmost to protect you to the death!"

"...Okay, in that case, let's set off first." Momonosuke, who seemed a little lacking in confidence, said weakly.

The group of people headed towards Changying Island in a mighty procession.

……

On Onigashima, the Beasts Pirates are busy preparing for the evening celebration, but unfortunately the weather is not good. The sky is covered with dark clouds, not a single ray of sunlight can penetrate, and it is as dark as night. The Ghost-Faced Man hiding in the dark has already heard about the big move tonight from someone, and is closely watching the coast of Onigashima.

At this time, a pirate ship was slowly approaching on the sea in the distance. When she saw the flag clearly, her face suddenly changed!

……

At Kurihama Beach, all the members of the Straw Hat Pirates except the captain and a few non-staff members gathered on the undamaged Sunny.

"Brother Ace, isn't Luffy's training over yet?" Jinbei was a little worried. After all, Luffy's opponent was the Four Emperors.

"Liuying is almost there. He has been thinking about the trick of Conqueror's Haki entanglement since yesterday. It may take some time." Ace also had a serious expression. He knew how dangerous tonight would be.

"Hey! You don't have to worry too much, Luffy will be fine." The green algae-haired guy was full of confidence in Luffy, but he also had concerns, but he was worried about whether Luffy could still awaken the fifth gear.

"Zoro, are you really not going to take action tonight? Besides Kaido, the other side has 5 troops." Chopper still looked worried.

"Just 50,000 trash. Our lineup is already much stronger than the Beasts Pirates." Zoro couldn't help but sigh as he looked around.

Even if she didn't take action, Tashigi was probably slightly better than Jhin now, as long as she could find the weakness of the Lunalia tribe.

Because of his influence, Big Mom probably won't come. Teacher Gai has to fight three low-end pirates and the filial son at the same time. His side also has Ace and Enel to support him. Moreover, Enel has also trained in the Rabbit Bowl Quarry and also mastered Firefly during this period.

Robin and Nami added epic levels.

He looked at tool number 3 - Caesar. This guy didn't seem to have any intention of rebelling. With him and Chopper around, Quinn's virus was nothing to be afraid of. It was even possible that Reiju could solve the virus problem alone. If they wanted to beat up the small fry, they had Garette on their side.

And I heard Franky say that with the help of Caesar and Enel, the power of the Sunny's dock system has been greatly enhanced. Wow, I really don't know how we are going to lose tonight.

As the agreed time got closer, a man wearing a straw hat and a coat appeared in everyone's sight.

……

In the Udon Changying Harbor, there were no thousands of troops as everyone expected, but only eight samurai, two pirates, a ninja, a young child, and a bound prisoner standing alone in the rain.

"Lord Jin! I'm afraid it won't work tonight!!" Xiaonin burst into tears.

"Let's choose another day! Kinmen Guard!" Momonosuke's face was also full of panic.

"There's not even a ship! There's no one in the quarry!" Lei Zang was also extremely surprised.

"There are traces of fighting in this port. What happened a day ago?!" Ashura Boy's face was solemn.

"On the day of the Fire Festival, at dusk, at Tokiage Port! This is the agreed port!!" Kin'emon repeatedly looked at the marks on the blueprint: "Why is no one coming?! What happened in just one day?!"

At this time, the mini Den Den Mushi in his hand, the Chiro, which he used for communication, also had no signal.

Finally, he broke through the defense and shouted to his allies at the Chi Luo who had no signal in his hand: "Lord Hyogoro! Inuarashi's hotshot team! Lord Luo... I am a retainer of Kozuki Oden. I came here 20 years ago to fulfill the monarch's will and burn out the life that should have dissipated at that time. However, our worthless lives are not enough to fight against an enemy army of 3 people. I beg for support!!"

"Enough! Kin'emon!" Ashura-douji shouted, "Look at the sky and the sea... Even the heavens have abandoned us, how could anyone possibly come to help!"

Kanjuro's expression was serious: "...something must have happened to everyone!"

Only the captured snake had a smug smile in his eyes.

At this time, Inuarashi found a small boat on the shore: "There is still one boat, it looks like it can still be used."

Kin'emon and the others looked at each other, their eyes full of determination. They walked towards the boat and pushed it into the sea together.

"What are you going to do!" Momonosuke shouted anxiously, "Stop it! If only a few of you go, you'll be dead!"

"If we miss today, we'll have no chance! With fewer people, it'll be easier to sneak in and take Kaido's head!" Kin'emon's eyes were determined: "Lord Momonosuke, let us go! We've been the mastermind until now. If we escape now, it would be a great shame!"

"Then what should I do!?" Momonosuke was in tears and was filled with fear for the future.

Raizo blamed himself in his heart, but he was powerless: "——Please make sure you stay alive, together with Hiyori-sama..."

Kin'emon couldn't bear it, "Your father was alone at first!"

Xiao Ma Ge, who came to support, pushed his glasses and said, "If that's the case, let's just wait here for Ace and the Straw Hat Pirates to arrive. They will definitely come!"

The cross-dressing master Izo agreed: "Haha, you're right. Ace was clamoring to duel Kaido four years ago."

Then, there was light in everyone's eyes.

But at this moment, a cold voice rang in everyone's ears: "Phoenix Marco, it's been a long time."

Everyone present was shocked, except Kanjuro who showed a gloomy smile.
