Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Hiyori smiled slightly, shook her head, and said, "My father... was once a two-sword samurai! Before his execution, he entrusted his two swords to my brother and me! My brother received Ame no Habakiri, a legendary sword that can cut through the sky! As for me, I inherited Enma, a legendary sword that can cleave through hell!"

“That’s why we can’t give it to this kind of guy so easily!” Kappa nodded and said.

“Although I don’t know why the sword Shusui, the treasured sword of the sword god Ryoma, ended up in your hands, for this country, the theft of this sword is a treasure that will enrage the entire nation! So if word gets out that you have Shusui… you will find it difficult to move an inch in Wano Country!” Hiyori said softly.

Zoro stroked his chin, already guessing the answer.

The other party possessed Ryoma's corpse, and it must have been around that time that they took Shusui along with it! That Gecko Moria who uses shadows to create zombies!

Chapter 568 Enma

After Zoro finished negotiating with Hiyori, he didn't forcibly take Shusui away, but instead planned to return to Kuri with the kappa.

As for Hiyori herself, she refused to go to Kuri. According to her, with a great battle at hand, how could she be preoccupied with personal feelings?

So when Kappa and Zoro returned to Kuri and explained everything, Kin'emon and the others were deeply moved, feeling that the princess from back then had truly grown up.

Furthermore, since Raizo had encountered the kappa at the quarry, they assumed that Hiyori had already been killed by Kaido.

Upon suddenly learning of Hiyori's news, they were all overjoyed and wept tears of joy.

"Hey, are you sure you've got something wrong? Hiyori has definitely grown up now, Momo, he's eighteen years older than you!" Zoro said calmly.

Everyone's faces froze, only then realizing that they had traveled through time, but Princess Hiyori hadn't; she had actually lived through twenty years.

"By the way, Kappa, where is Princess now? Does she need any guards?" Duke Inuarashi asked.

"No need, she's in a very safe place right now. After all, she's not involved in the war, and besides, we... so please forgive me for not being able to reveal the princess's whereabouts for the time being!" Kappa glanced at Kanjuro, shook his head, and said.

Everyone fell silent upon hearing the kappa's words.

The fact that there was an internal traitor was a thorn in their side, but they couldn't say it too clearly.

After all, we are brothers who have gone through battles and life and death together.

There was another matter that Kin'emon didn't tell anyone: he had secretly met with Shimotsuki Yasuie and seriously adopted the suggestions Yasuie made.

However, the Kang family secretly hid themselves, citing the inconvenience of meeting others, and Kin'emon told no one about it.

"Everything's ready? Can we begin?" Tenguyama Hitetsu, who, like Usopp, has a long nose, asked the kappa with a serious expression.

"Yes! Everything has been settled. This is Her Highness the Princess's decision!" Kappa nodded in reply.

"Lord Hitetsu, this sword is returned to you. It is the second-generation Kitetsu that Luffy Taro had taken from the quarry!" At this moment, Kiku returned the famous sword that Luffy had previously stolen from Hitetsu.

"The Second Generation Kitetsu? A famous Devil Fruit sword!" Zoro glanced at it and said softly.

When he met Luffy, he had already noticed the extraordinary nature of the sword, but he didn't expect it to be the Second Generation Kitetsu. He had been using the Third Generation Kitetsu for a long time.

"Alright, I am Hitetsu Tenguyama! I am a swordsmith from Wano Country! For twenty years, I have been waiting for this day to return these two famous swords to you!" Hitetsu sat upright on the ground and said earnestly.

Before him were two famous swords, one black and one white.

"Lord Oden's once beloved swords, Ame no Habakiri, which can cut through the sky, and Enma, which can cut down to the depths of hell! Like Shusui, these two swords are both ranked among the twenty-one Great Grade Swords!" Hitetsu said softly, looking at the two treasured swords in front of him.

Everyone looked at the two famous swords placed on the ground, as if they could sense their extraordinary nature from them.

"Lord Momonosuke, what are your plans?" Hitetsu picked up the Ame no Habakiri, looked at Momonosuke, and asked.

"No...no need!" Momonosuke, terrified by the murderous aura emanating from Ame no Habakiri, transformed into a pink dragon and stammered, "I...I'd better keep it with you for now!"

Upon hearing this, Hitetsu didn't say much. Instead, he picked up Enma and handed it to Zoro, saying, "Then this Enma... is yours! But let me make it clear beforehand... in this country, so far, only Kozuki Oden has been able to tame Enma! You can try it on any tree over there!"

Zoro took Enma, walked to the shore, and randomly picked a tree.

"Lord Zorojuro, to be honest, if it were me... I wouldn't want this sword!" Kin'emon said with a hint of fear, as if recalling something.

However, Zoro ignored him and instead swung his Enma sword at a small tree on the shore. In the instant he swung the sword, the entire shore was sliced ​​off.

"That's...that's outrageous! He actually sliced ​​off the entire coastline with a single casual strike!" Sanji said in disbelief.

"No, everyone, look at Zoro's arm!" Momonosuke shouted in horror.

At this moment, everyone looked at Zoro's arm and saw that Zoro's entire right arm was completely covered with Armament Haki, but the arm looked as if it had been drained of moisture, becoming extremely thin and withered.

"Damn it...give it back to me!" Zoro's eyes narrowed, and suddenly Enma seemed to return all the Armament Haki it had absorbed, allowing Zoro's arm to recover instantly.

"Why is it like this?" Nami asked, utterly puzzled.

"It seems this knife can absorb its master's energy?" Robin said, stroking his chin.

“That’s right, Enma is such a being. He will release the wielder’s Ryuo without permission! If he over-released the slash, an ordinary swordsman would have been exhausted and collapsed by now! Your companion is quite powerful!” Hitetsu said with admiration when he saw that Zoro had not been overwhelmed and drained.

"As expected of Zoro!" Nami said with a smile upon hearing Fitch's praise.

Sanji was quite annoyed by these words and immediately retorted, "What? You're just a pirate with a lower bounty than me!"

Zoro glanced at Sanji, and perhaps because he had acquired a new weapon, he seemed to be in a good mood and, unusually, did not argue with Sanji.

"Well, Lord Zoro, would you like me to replace your weapon?" Hite asked with a light laugh.

"No need, this is it! Once I get used to it, it will prove that my strength has become even greater!" Zoro smiled and shook his head, refusing.

"Clap clap clap... This is truly amazing!" exclaimed a kappa, who was also a samurai, standing nearby.

Meanwhile, Reina and Ace, who were searching for Luffy and his crew, immediately sensed the energy fluctuations just as Zoro cleaved the coastline.

"It seems like someone's making a move over there? Let's go check it out!" Reina, sitting on a huge beast that looked like a lion, looked up in the direction of Zoro and the others and said to Ace behind him.

"Alright, we've been searching for so long and still haven't heard from them. They've hidden themselves quite well!" Ace nodded and said with a smile.

Reina smiled. Perhaps this was all thanks to the Kang family! According to the original story, Kin'emon and the others didn't have such abilities.

Chapter 569 Convergence

When Reyner and Ace found Zoro and the others, they were also surprised.

“Father? Aren’t you on Onigashima?” Robin asked as she stepped forward.

"Something unexpected happened. Where's Luffy? Hasn't he rejoined you yet?" Reina looked around but didn't see Luffy, so he asked curiously.

“No!” Robin shook her head and said, “He’s still at the quarry, seemingly training to improve his Armament Haki!”

"Oh? Is that flowing Armament Haki? Has that guy grown to this level?" Reina asked in surprise.

It's important to know that it's only been two years since he first awakened his Haki, and even with cheat codes, Reina himself hasn't achieved this level.

This made him exclaim, "As expected of the protagonist of this world, he is indeed powerful!"

"So? What's your plan now?" Reina looked at everyone and asked.

“Based on the signal left by Lord Kang before his execution, we already know about the plan to change things!” Kin'emon said calmly.

"Oh?" Reina's eyes narrowed. He asked, "The plan has changed? So what has it become now?"

Kin'emon then explained the revised plan, letting Nami and the others know that the Kang family had simply changed the meeting time and destination with a few strokes of their pen.

However, Reina was somewhat puzzled, as he noticed a flaw in Kin'emon's words.

Since Kin'emon didn't say "before the Yasuie's death," but rather "before the execution," it proves that he knew of the Yasuie's existence. But why did his understanding of the code remain the same as in the original story? Didn't he verify it with the Yasuie?

This can only be attributed to the carelessness of the Kang family themselves, because in their view, the people of Wano Country should know this kind of code, so they did not specifically check it with Kin'emon.

However, even mistakes can go wrong, as they still gave Kanjuro incorrect information.

So Reina didn't say anything more.

"Since you've all made preparations, I'll tell you some good news and some bad news!" Reina said with a slight smile.

"Bad news?" Nami immediately sensed something was wrong, because if even Reina was saying bad news, then for them... it could really be very disadvantageous.

“First of all… another Yonko, Big Mom, has arrived in Wano Country and has already allied with Kaido!” Reina said softly, holding up one finger.

"What?" The people of Wano Country did not understand the importance of this news, but Nami, Sanji and the others had witnessed Big Mom's power, so this was nothing short of a catastrophe for them.

"Heh... Two Yonko? Interesting!" Zoro's face was full of fighting spirit. He had just obtained his new weapon and was looking for someone to test it out with!

"And what's the good news?" Usopp asked, trembling.

“The good news is… Ace, Marco, and I will also be joining the fight, and we’ll be on your side!” Reina said with a smile.

"Really? That's wonderful!" Hearing Reina's words, everyone felt a little relieved.

With a strong player like Reina assisting them, their chances of winning are much greater.

“As for Kaido, Luffy will probably have to go himself! So leave Big Mom to me! Also, Marco and Ace will assist you. Marco has gone to deal with the rest of Big Mom’s crew. Just send someone to the beach to wait for him and bring him over!” Reina nodded and said with a smile.

"Hehe... Father, this is the first time we've fought side by side, isn't it?" Robin looked at Reina, seemingly also looking forward to it.

"Okay! Good luck then!" Reina nodded and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Father, I won't hold you back!" Robin replied with a smile.

Not long after, the men sent out by Jinweimen returned. They had encountered Marco in Jianlou Village, so they brought him back directly.

"Reina!" Marco approached Reina anxiously and said solemnly, "Things are getting complicated!"

"Huh? What's going on?" Reina, who was chatting with Robin, looked at Marco in surprise!

"The navy has deployed a considerable number of personnel, intending to surround Xuan Yue Island!" Marco said in a deep voice.

"Oh? It seems the Navy really suffered a big loss last time! But the renovation of Xuan Yue Island is complete, so they returned empty-handed!" Reina said with a light laugh.

“That’s right, they didn’t find Xuan Yue Island, but I think the secret of Xuan Yue Island won’t last long before it’s exposed! I was hoping to keep it a secret for a while longer!” Marco said with some regret.

"This shouldn't be a big deal, right?" Reina looked at Marco with some doubt.

Marco nodded, but before he could speak, Robin asked with a hint of curiosity, "Father, why did Crescent Moon Island disappear?"

"Hahaha... Girl, you're asking this on behalf of your captain, right? Remember what I told you when we went to the West Sea? If they're trying to use the time we spent in the West Sea to mess with the road signs on Xuan Yue Island, they're making a big mistake!" Reina laughed.

Hearing Reina's words, Marco looked at Robin with some surprise. He hadn't expected the Straw Hat Pirates to have developed to this extent, actually starting to pay attention to the Road Plot.

Robin didn't deny it, nodding directly and saying, "That's right, after the Wano Country incident is over, our next target will be Gengetsu Island!"

"Hahaha... How arrogant! Even if you defeated the Beasts Pirates, our Whitebeard Pirates are not so easy to deal with!" Reina laughed and said, "But fine, I'll tell you first! After the doctor's modifications, Crescent Moon Island... has become a ship!"

"A ship?" Robin was stunned, asking incredulously, "The Doctor turned Crescent Moon Island into a ship? Such a big ship?"

"That's not all! The current Xuan Yue Island can even sink to the seabed and move, so the Navy has no way of finding its location, because Xuan Yue Island... is constantly moving!" Reina said proudly.

“I see. So we can only find Xuan Yue Island by using the Life Paper when Father is there, right?” Robin nodded and said.

“That’s right!” Reina was quite pleased with himself. The Straw Hat crew had gone to great lengths to sneak over there while he was away from Crescent Moon Island, hadn’t they? Now that he wasn’t on Crescent Moon Island, they couldn’t find the place at all!
