One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

Raizo also drew his short sword and did the same.

"Don't worry!" Kurozumi Orochi grinned. "I'm not afraid of some incompetent brat!!!"

"I hope you keep your word!!!"

Pfft!!!

The sharp blade suddenly pierced through Zhongyi's flesh, and hot blood gushed out, shining eternally in the moonlight.

Kin'emon and Raizo collapsed to the ground in excruciating pain, their blood staining the earth.

Chapter 437 The Death of Momonosuke (Seeking monthly votes~)

"Guhahahaha..."

"As expected of a retainer of Kozuki Oden, their loyalty is astounding!!!"

Seeing Kin'emon and Orochi lying on the ground clutching their abdominal wounds, Orochi suddenly burst into arrogant laughter.

Kin'emon, who had fallen to the ground, struggled to raise his head, his blurry, colorless eyes staring straight at Momonosuke in Orochi's hand.

"I...we've done as you said, let...let go of Momonosuke, young master!!!"

"Hahaha, don't worry, this general is not one to break his word."

Under Kin'emon's intense gaze, Orochi tossed Momonosuke to the ground and said mockingly:

"When we get back, I'll brand him with the Kurotan family crest and make him a slave of the Kurotan family, doing odd jobs!"

"I guarantee he will live a peaceful and stable life..."

"If he doesn't resist!"

"Guhahahaha!!!"

"asshole!!!"

Kin'emon clenched his fist and used it to support himself.

Branding the Kozuki family crest on the young lord's body was even more shameful for them, the Kozuki retainers, than killing him outright.

At this moment, Kin'emon realized that he had been tricked by Orochi.

but……

Even if we didn't do it this way, what else could we do?!

Kin'emon, unaware of Kaido's and the Beasts' situation, believed that this was the best possible outcome.

In any case, the young master's life has been saved.

As for what will happen in the future, that depends on the young master's fate.

Blood flowed gently, taking Kin'emon's life with it.

Perhaps his vitality was truly strong. Raizo, who had only used a short sword, was lying on the ground barely breathing, but Kin'emon still had the time and energy to regret his mistakes.

But at that moment, something unexpected happened!

Suddenly, a swift shadow swept past Orochi, grabbing Momonosuke from the ground before anyone could react, and in the blink of an eye, it was beside Kin'emon and the other man.

"Kin'emon, Raizo!?"

"Are you all alright?!"

Denjiro, sporting a head full of curly hair, suddenly turned around and asked with a pained expression.

"Who are you!?"

Kin'emon looked up in confusion, watching as the stranger before him gradually merged with a figure from his memory. He suddenly cried out in alarm:

"You're Denjiro!!!"

"That's right, it's me!!!"

Denjiro placed Momonosuke beside Kin'emon and then drew his long sword from his waist with one hand.

"Let's talk about catching up another time."

"Are you still able to move?!"

"Cough cough!!!"

Kin'emon coughed up a large amount of blood, which flowed down the corner of his mouth.

But the next moment, he suddenly pulled the long sword out of his abdomen, pressed one hand on the wound that pierced his body, and stood up again by sheer willpower and the spirit of Bushido.

"I...can still fight!!!"

"Are you kidding me!"

Denjiro smiled slightly, adopting a relaxed expression:

"Who told you, an injured soldier, to fight!"

"Since you can still move, quickly take the young master and Raizo and escape from here!"

"Leave this to me!!!"

"Denjiro!" Kin'emon shouted.

But then they heard Denjiro shout even louder:

"Idiot, do you really want the Kozuki family bloodline to end here!?"

"Or are you confident that you can withstand these thousands of men with your injured body?!"

"Don't forget! I have 20 years more cultivation than you..."

"My strength has long exceeded your imagination!!!"

"........."

Kin'emon clenched his fists, tears welling in his eyes.

But after a moment, he nodded vigorously:

"Ok!"

"I'm waiting for you to join us!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kin'emon picked up the terrified Momonosuke with one arm and the injured and weak Raizo with the other.

Then, without saying another word, they were about to leave.

Upon seeing this, Orochi's face instantly turned even blacker than charcoal with rage.

He roared loudly:

"Kyoshiro!!! What are you doing!!!"

"Kyoshiro!?"

Denjiro drew his second katana, named Ryuo, which was actually Armament Haki, and its pitch-black color immediately wrapped tightly around the two swords.

"I'm not some damn Kyoshiro!!!"

"My true identity is Denjiro, a retainer of Kozuki Oden!!!"

"Kurozumi Orochi, prepare to die!!!"

As he spoke, Denjiro suddenly darted forward and slashed at Kurozumi Orochi.

"Oden Two-Sword Style: Togen Totsuka!!!"

Denjiro shouted angrily.

"Damn it! Kanjuro!!!"

Orochi casually ordered Kanjuro, whose identity had already been exposed, to intercept Denjiro.

Suddenly, a sharp, angry roar came from the distant horizon.

"You damned human trafficker, how dare you try to commit violence in public!?"

"Thunder...Gossip!!!"

boom!!!

A tremendous roar, comparable to thunder, suddenly resounded from the distant seaside in the dense forest.

The next instant, a shockwave of lightning, carrying an endless cold current, suddenly erupted from the sea, accurately predicting Denjiro's position and instantly engulfing him.

The intense lightning illuminated the silent night, revealing the astonished expressions on everyone's faces.

"Denjiro!!!"

Kin'emon, who hadn't gone far, glared furiously at Denjiro, who had been suddenly attacked.

He immediately looked in the direction from which the attack came and saw a pirate ship flying the flag of the Beasts Pirates sailing toward their location.

At the bow of the ship, a dashing woman was staring intently at him with piercing eyes.

Whoosh! ! !

Seemingly sensing Kin'emon's gaze, the figure on the ship suddenly leaped up and swung a huge spiked club at him.

"Damn it!!! It's the Beasts Pirates!!! Why now!?"

"Is the heavens truly going to destroy the Kozuki family?!"

Kin'emon was filled with despair.

Even in such a desperate situation, he did not hesitate to put Momonosuke and Raizo on the ground, and then drew his katana to prepare to fight.

Clang!

The massive spiked club and the sharp blade collided in mid-air, creating a burst of intense sparks.

however……

How could Kin'emon, who was already seriously injured, possibly be a match for Yamato, whose strength was comparable to that of a top-tier Yonko commander!

Before he could hold out for more than a few seconds, Kin'emon was sent flying by Yamato's immense force, crashing heavily into the nearby dense forest and breaking several giant trees.

His injuries became even more severe as a result, and he was just a hair's breadth away from posing a fatal threat to Kin'emon.
