Belial, Tregear, new members of the Straw Hat Pirates

Kanjuro was completely dumbfounded. "What's going on?"

Kyoshiro sheathed his sword and called out to Kin'emon in the distance, "Mr. Kin'emon, and all the Akazaya Samurai."

"I am Kyoshiro, a yakuza from the Flower Capital of Wano Country. I am leading two hundred members of the Kyoshiro family to join you in your fight against Kaido."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, everyone except Belial and Tregear was stunned.

Kurozumi Orochi's most loyal henchman wants to join them in the fight against Kaido?

Everyone wondered if there was something wrong with their ears.

"Why?" Aju asked. "You have no connection with us, why would you join us?"

Upon hearing this, Kyoshiro remained silent for a moment before saying, "The Kozuki clan owes me an immeasurable debt of gratitude."

"I can never repay your kindness, I don't remember you... Who are you?"

“Kin'emon,” Belial suddenly said.

Are all of you Nine Red Scabbards present except for Kanjuro?

"They're all here."

"Really? Have you forgotten the most important person in your life..."

"The most important thing?"

"Weren't there nine of you? But now there are only seven of you."

"That's right, we're missing one..."

Upon realizing this, Kin'emon froze, his eyes fixed on Kyoshiro's face.

Kyoshiro suddenly laughed, "Back then, Kin'emon wanted to steal the mountain god's child because of his own selfish desires, which eventually led to the Mountain God's Rebellion."

"Fortunately, Lord Oden later resolved the riot, and we both followed him as a result."

"Could it be... that you are Denjiro?"

"Eh!"

"Denjiro?"

Upon hearing this, Kyoshiro took off his wig and rubbed his face.

When I saw that face, and it was combined with the face I knew best from my memory.

The Nine Red Scabbards were utterly shocked, especially Ashura, who was closest to Denjiro, and secretly shed tears in the pouring rain.

"Yes, I am..."

"Denjiro, a retainer of the Kozuki family and one of the Nine Red Scabbards."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned and speechless.

Denjiro laughed and said, "You don't recognize me, do you? Actually, I wanted to recognize you all as soon as you returned."

“But just in case, we’ll choose to hide.” As he spoke, Denjiro looked at Kanjuro on the shore.

“If I had actually done that back then, I would have been exposed to the spies and then executed by the giant snake.”

"Damn it..." Kanjuro said unwillingly.

"At the same time, it was because of Orochi's trust that I was given this opportunity!"

Amidst the mist, a large fleet sailed through the waves and arrived here.

The sails were inscribed with the word "rebellion," and every single one of them was a warrior.

"A total of 1,200 people."

Then Denjiro looked at Tregear and said, "Lord Tregear, we really owe you a lot."

"If you hadn't told us this information, we wouldn't have known these things and been able to make any plans."

"It's alright." Torregia smiled slightly.

"You knew all along?" Robin asked.

"No, that's not it, someone else just told me."

Torregia glanced at Beria out of the corner of his eye.

Torregia walked toward Beria.

Beria laughed and said, "This kid is actually quite capable."

"This scene reminds me of a movie I saw on Earth."

"Infernal Affairs".

Beria recalled his conversation with Hiyori in the cabin:

……

"Speaking of which, what's the deal with that Kyoshiro?" Asakura Ryuya asked.

"At the crucial moment, that guy reversed the knife and used the back of the blade to cut open the blood bag on your body."

"And he even arranged your funeral."

"Ah, he's not actually a lackey, but a retainer of our Kozuki clan."

Hiyori said, "His real name is Denjiro. One of the Nine Red Scabbards."

"Twenty years ago, after he escaped by chance, he changed his name to Kyoshiro and joined Kurozumi Orochi's crew as an undercover agent."

Upon hearing this, Asakura Ryūya exclaimed, "Good heavens, is this some kind of spy game?"

……

"After confirming his identity, I discussed everything with him," Torregia said.

Denjiro said, "Lord Tregear is truly a genius of our time. He is a master strategist who uses false information as bait and takes advantage of Orochi's arrogance to incite them to make trouble."

"In fact, they have already fallen into your trap."

"What was destroyed were only some insignificant things. All four thousand two hundred men of our punitive expedition survived!"

While they were chatting and laughing, 4,200 rebels who had been hiding in another location in Changying Port had already arrived.

"Alright! Enough with the nonsense!"

Belial flew into the air, saying, "Let's save all the praise and joy for after the victory."

"Our current targets are Onigashima and Kaido!"

“That’s right.” Kin’emon raised his sword. “Let us carry on Lord Oden’s will and march towards Onigashima!”

"understand!"

Orb, watching from behind, remarked, "This Galactic Emperor's aura is as imposing as ever."

Seeing this, Luffy burst into laughter, "As expected of them, hahaha."

Looking at Belial and Tregear, Luo thought to himself, "I really wish they could join us here."

Kidd felt completely relaxed in the face of this scene.

Upon seeing this, the Beasts Pirates immediately tried to communicate with Onigashima, but Tregear had already used a signal jammer to disrupt the magnetic field of the area.

It's impossible for the Beasts Pirates to contact Onigashima now.

At this moment, Kanjuro on the shore finally began to act.

He now understood that he was the only one who could leave this place.

Kanjuro then quickly finished painting a white crane.

Tregear sent a ray of light grazing Kanjuro's hair. "I almost forgot, there's this little kid too."

Belial said, "Brothers, the situation is urgent. Let's kill the traitor Kanjuro!"

Kawamatsu, the best swimmer among the Nine Red Scabbards, dashed out and arrived in front of Kanjuro in an instant.

"Kanjuro! We treated you as a comrade, yet you betrayed us without hesitation, betraying those who shared joys and sorrows with us. Are you really happy about that?"

"Of course," Kanjuro grinned wickedly. "There's no more exciting show than this, especially your clown-like expressions. It's hilarious."

"So what if you're so cunning and resourceful?" Kanjuro laughed. "The final chapter of the Kozuki clan's bloody stage will not be absent."

Kanjuro led Momonosuke aboard the white crane. "Oh, right, there's one more person."

"I understand. She's still alive, and she'll follow suit and die soon."

"You know who I'm talking about, right? It's none other than Kozuki Hiyori!"

"Boom!"

A dark red bolt of lightning ripped across the sky.

Belial looked at Kanjuro with murderous intent in his eyes, his arm already wrapped in dark red energy.

"You little brat, you're really annoying."

Belial made a cross gesture, and a dark red beam of light shot out.

This time, the Desium Ray is even more powerful than the last one.

Just as the beam of light was about to hit Kanjuro, it was suddenly split in two.

The split beam of light pierced and destroyed a large area behind it, turning it into ruins.

Before Kanjuro stood a man shrouded in a blue-purple mist.

"that is……"

“That’s Grimd!” Ashura shouted. “I’ve seen him like this before, exactly the same as he did back then.”

"That is him, Grimd."

"That man who, in the Beasts Pirates, is second only to Kaido and above all others."

Beside him, Orb and Jugglus stared at Tregear, making him feel uneasy.

Grimd said nothing, raised his hand, and a dark blue hand grabbed Kanjuro and Momonosuke, taking them into a magic circle where they disappeared.

"Lord Momonosuke!"

Grimd waved his hand and then disappeared.

"Lord Momonosuke!"

Kin'emon and the others screamed in anguish.

Denjiro's expression also changed drastically; he had never expected that Grimd would be such a variable.

Just as the magic circle was about to disappear, Luffy shouted at it, "Peach!"

"Don't be afraid, we will come to save you."

"Do not forget our agreement!"

The magic circle disappeared completely, and everyone's expressions turned very disappointed.

Belial nudged Tregear on the shoulder and then said to the others, "Cheer up, don't let yourselves get discouraged before we even see Kaido."

“Belial is right,” Zoro said. “If we take them all down, everything will be alright.”

"Get out of here. When did it become your turn to lecture us?" Sanji said irritably.

"Huh? Curly eyebrows, what did you say?"

"What, you're not convinced, algae head?"

Torregia looked at the fleet in the distance and said, "It's not over yet."
