Anyway, Foz-Further took it all in stride.

Artificial Devil Fruits, technologically modified laboratories...

That was something that was simply beyond his control.

Only by living within your means can you live longer.

These are life insights gained after experiencing numerous failures and betrayals.

"That's right!"

The happy expression didn't linger on Yamato's face for long. The silly boy quickly became stunned again, and asked Foz-Foe in confusion:

"But... how can I become the shogun of Wano Country!?"

"That's easy."

Suppressing his inner turmoil, Foz-Foe's eyes flashed, and he smiled at Yamato:

"The current shogun of Wano Country is none other than Kurozumi Orochi, who betrayed the Kozuki family and stole Kozuki Oden's identity!"

"It is precisely because of his existence that the entire population of Wano is living in misery."

"As long as Governor Yamato can kill Kurozumi Orochi and his subordinates, and claim that he will bring peace and happiness to Wano Country with Kurozumi Orochi's head..."

"Then we'll have the Beasts Pirates guide the populace a little, and we can easily make Governor Yamato the new Shogun of Wano Country."

"Is it... really that simple!?" Yamato seemed thoughtful.

But Foz-Foe nodded deeply.

"It's that simple!!!"

"Furthermore, according to the intelligence from the Beasts, Governor Yamato, Orochi and his subordinates have just gathered together."

"This is the perfect opportunity for us to wipe them out in one fell swoop, without causing too much impact on the people of Wano Country."

"With Governor Yamato's strength and the power of the Beasts Pirates, taking them down would be a piece of cake!"

"Is that right?"

"Well!"

Yamato laughed loudly, as if his dream of tomorrow was right before his eyes, and raised his spiked club high, shouting:

"Let's not delay, let's set off now!"

"Hehe~"

Foz-Fur grinned and exchanged glances with the Flying Six behind him, each with a different expression.

Immediately, the six men knelt down on one knee and echoed:

"Yes, Governor-General Yamato!!!"

……

……

Meanwhile, at the border of Wano Country.

The cascading waterfall constantly splashes salty water, filling the air of the entire area with the scent of the sea.

Momonosuke, Kin'emon, and their group stared in disbelief at the small boat destroyed by the sudden artillery fire, their eyes wide with shock, completely stunned.

Just then, a sinister laugh suddenly came from the dense forest not far away.

Then, Orochi, leading a group of samurai, slowly revealed his true face.

Beside him stood a cannon that wasn't very large.

"Gurgle hehehehe..."

"You almost got away by accident!"

"We really can't let our guard down for even a moment!!!"

"Goo-ho-ho-ho!!!"

The giant black serpent emerged from the dense forest and burst into laughter, looking at Momonosuke and the others with a mocking expression.

Upon seeing Orochi's appearance, Kin'emon's expression instantly turned extremely ugly.

He looked ahead in shock, his body trembling as he whispered:

"Kurozumi Orochi...why...why are you here!?"

"Hehehehe~"

Orochi continued to sneer, "That's right, you're absolutely right~"

Why am I suddenly here?

"Why do you think that is, Kanjuro!?"

Orochi suddenly raised his head and looked at the figure hiding behind Kin'emon and the others with great satisfaction.

Upon hearing Orochi's words, Kin'emon was also suddenly puzzled.

"Kanjuro!?"

But just then...

"Click click click~"

A strange, eerie laugh seemed to come from behind Kin'emon and the others.

Then they saw their trusted partner, Kanjuro, reveal a sinister smile that sent chills down their spines.

What Kanjuro said next plunged them into despair, as if they had fallen into an endless abyss.

"The Kozuki family, you're finished!!!"

Kanjuro roared loudly, as if he were venting the grievances he had long felt of being subservient to his enemies.

"Why!?"

Raizo asked, puzzled.

Kanjuro coldly replied:

"Because my full name, from beginning to end, is Kurozumi Kanjuro!!!"

"Kanjuro Kurozumi!?" Momonosuke's eyes widened in horror. "You're from the Kurozumi family!?"

He actually stayed with the Kurotan family the whole time, and even tried to get them to protect him.

At that moment, Momonosuke felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, the cold biting to the bone.

But the next second, everything went black before his eyes.

Suddenly, Kanjuro sprang up and lunged at him.

"What are you trying to do!?"

Seeing this, Kin'emon and Raizo finally put aside their past relationship completely.

One of them wielded a sword, while the other threw a large number of shuriken, cutting Kanjuro's body into several pieces.

But before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, the ground beneath Momonosuke's feet suddenly softened.

Suddenly, a hand emerged from the soil and, before Momonosuke could even cry out, grabbed his ankle and ran towards Orochi's camp.

This person was none other than Kanjuro, who had been hiding for a long time.

As for those who were just attacked by Kin'emon and Raizo...

It's just a painting clone created by Kanjuro using the Pen-Pen Fruit.

Under the attack of the two, the painting clone turned into a puddle of ink and spilled on the ground.

The ground beneath Momonosuke's feet also turned into ink, seeping into the real earth.

Paramecia-type Pen-Pen Fruit, also known as Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Magic Brush Ma Liang form!

Give Kanjuro a paintbrush and he can paint everything in the world!

"Damn it!!! Give the young master back!!!"

Just as Kin'emon and Raizo were about to act, seeing Momonosuke being taken away, a black gun barrel was suddenly pressed against Momonosuke's temple.

This scene caused the two of them to stop in their tracks instantly.

"Guhahahaha..."

Orochi, with one hand gripping Momonosuke's neck and the other on the trigger, said to Kin'emon and the other with a grim expression:

"I've heard that Kozuki Oden's retainers have always been incredibly loyal."

"If you don't want your master's only bloodline to disappear, then obediently commit suicide here!!!"

"Otherwise... don't blame me for my gun being indiscriminate."

"What!?"

Upon hearing this, Kin'emon and Raizo's eyes widened.

Momonosuke, with a gun pointed at him, also had a blank look in his eyes, and his body was trembling uncontrollably.

On one hand, he couldn't bear to watch Kin'emon and his companion die, and on the other hand, he was just a pampered young master who had never experienced such a life-or-death situation.

A wave of despair washed over Momonosuke, causing him to burst into tears.

But Orochi persisted relentlessly:

"Hurry up!"

"Don't worry! As long as you obediently face your deaths, I can guarantee that this brat will continue to live!"

"Or do you want to watch your young master, whom you're protecting, die right before your eyes?!"

"In that case, how can you face Kozuki Oden in the afterlife?!"

Orochi's words echoed in Kin'emon and Orochi's ears like the whispers of a demon.

Seeing Momonosuke weeping bitterly, the two gritted their teeth for a long time, but there was nothing they could do.

Finally, Kin'emon slowly drew his sword and pointed it at his abdomen.
