Chapter 595 Momonosuke?! (2 in 1)

When Kurozumi Orochi and his subordinates set their sights on Yoriichi Tsugakuni, Yoriichi Tsugakuni, who was strolling on the streets of the Flower Capital, also realized that he was being followed.

After exchanging money from the gold house, Tsugumi Yuichiro had already walked two or three blocks, but according to his observation Haki, he could sense two auras following closely behind him and walked with him through several blocks.

When he stops, the other party also stops; when he moves, the other party also moves.

Noticing this, Yuichi Tsugikoku looked around with a cold expression, saw a noodle shop not far away, and then walked over.

Although he already had some guesses in his mind, Tsugaru Yoshiichi still wanted to confirm it in this way.

This is a small shop on the commercial street. The area inside is not big, only about 20 square meters. The kitchen is just separated by a few pieces of white cloth. There are four small tables in the shop. It is deserted and there are not many customers.

It was not mealtime at this time, and the boss, who had some free time, was sitting on a recliner in the kitchen, leisurely watching the bustling street scene with people coming and going.

"Boss, tonkotsu ramen."

As soon as Ji Guoyuan walked into the noodle shop, he glanced at the small wooden sign with the dishes written on it in front of the kitchen and spoke to the boss in the kitchen.

At the same time that Jiguo Yuanyi walked in, the boss, who had seen a customer coming in, had already sat up from his recliner. Upon hearing what I Yuanyi said, the boss immediately smiled and replied:
"Okay! Please wait a moment!"

As he spoke, the noodle shop owner's eyes turned and he took a quick look at Ji Guoyuanyi, then immediately got busy.

"Guest, where are you from?"

"Is this your first time in the Flower Capital?"

Inside the small noodle shop, the boss and Jiguo Yuanyi started chatting about family matters. This is actually a style of this kind of small shop. Since the shop is relatively small, the kitchen is completely exposed to the customers' sight, and there is a closer contact between the boss and the customers.

Compared with the restaurant system that is common in later generations, such stores have more human touch.

And precisely because of this, the people who come to this noodle shop to eat noodles are basically regular customers, and there are of course strangers as well, but they are relatively few.

Tsugumi Yuichiro is tall and handsome. Although he wears a sword on his waist, he exudes a calm and easy-going temperament. These things cannot be hidden at all. Common people like the noodle shop owner have their own way of judging people, and they have already felt that Tsugumi Yuichiro is different from others.

"Ah! First time in the Flower Capital."

Jiguo Yuanyi found a seat near the inside and sat down. Just as he was talking to the boss, two more people lifted the door curtain and walked into the noodle shop.

These are two young men, both wearing kimonos, with long swords on their waists, dressed like samurai, exuding a fierce aura.

The two young men were one tall and one short, one fat and one thin. The tall and thin one had a miserable look on his face, and it looked like they had never gotten along well with each other; while the short and fat one had a face full of flesh, and looked quite fierce.

The temperaments of these two people are just short of having the word "bad guy" written on their faces.

Hmm. It fits the style of the One Piece world very well.

"What would you like to order, you two?"

After the two young men entered the noodle shop, they did not look at the boss first, but instead looked in the direction of Jiguo Yuanyi. Seeing Jiguo Yuanyi sitting in the shop, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and shouted to the boss at the top of their voices:

"I want fried udon."

"I want pork bone noodles."

Then the two of them ordered food and sat down on the seats closest to the door. From time to time, they glanced towards Ji Guoyuan in the room, as if they were afraid that Ji Guoyuan would get lost.

At this moment, Tsugikoku Yuichi, who was sitting in the room, suddenly stood up and said to the boss:

"Boss, please make the noodles for me first. I'll go buy some other things and come back."

Then, as the boss answered, Tsugikoku Yoriichi walked out of the house. Yoriichi had just lifted the door curtain and left, and the two people sitting at the door stood up impatiently, ignoring the boss's call and walked out of the house.

Then, when they opened the door curtain, they suddenly found Jiguo Yuanyi standing at the door, looking at them with a smile on his face.

"Tell me, what are you doing with me?"

Jiguo Yuanyi put his hands behind his back and stood with his sword in his arms. As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on his face disappeared without a trace.

"you"

When the two young men saw Yuichiro Tsugakuni waiting outside the door, they immediately realized that they had been exposed. They wanted to take action, but found that people on the street were looking in their direction, and they hesitated for a moment.

"Thief! You stole our brothers' money!"

Just as the two were hesitating, the short and fat one suddenly had an idea, pointed his finger at Ji Guoyuan and shouted.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Jigoku Yuichi also glanced sideways at the crowd watching the excitement on the street, raised his eyebrows, and was quite surprised.

He thought someone recognized his face and was following him.

However, the answers of these two people really exceeded Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's expectations. The other party should not be someone with an official background in Wano Country. He thought that they were just scoundrels who were attracted by his money.

"Yes, you stole our brothers' money, so hand it over!"

"Or you won't even think about leaving here?"

As they were talking, the two young men quickly drew out their long swords from their waists and approached Jiguo Yuanyi with a menacing momentum.

The people watching the excitement on the street seemed to be accustomed to this kind of knife-fighting scene in the street.

Samurai... In this country, compared to ordinary people, samurai have a superior status.

Upon hearing this, Ji Guoyuan couldn't help but sigh softly. He had no intention of wasting time talking to the other party. He released his terrifying domineering aura and pounced directly towards the two people in front of him.

"Om-"

The domineering aura that had almost condensed into substance instantly enveloped the two young men. Under the gaze of everyone, the two men who had been so aggressive suddenly turned their eyes white, lost consciousness, and fell to the ground.

"Puff-"

"Puff-"

Two consecutive muffled sounds were heard on the street, and Jiguo Yuanyi then walked back into the store, left a few coins, turned around and left. In the eyes of everyone, he disappeared in the crowd.

Until Tsugumi Yoshiichi left, the onlookers still didn't realize what had happened.

All they could see was that the two young men who had been aggressively trying to beg for money fell to the ground inexplicably. It was not until a long time after Jiguo Yuanyi had left that the people reacted and came forward, felt the breath of the two young men, realized that the two were still alive, and immediately chose to report to the police.

Yes, there are government offices in places like Wano Country.

Soon after, with the sound of hurried footsteps, the crowd surrounding the two young men also made way for them. A tall, long-haired young man with a long sword on his waist came to the scene, looking at the people around him with an unhappy look on his face, and then shouted:
"What the hell is going on here?!"

"Who did it?! Did anyone see it?"

Kozuki Momonosuke, this burly young man is called Kozuki Momonosuke, the grandson of Shogun Sukiyaki and the eldest son of Kuri daimyo Kozuki Oden. Kozuki Oden was away for many years, and the work of governing Kuri was shared by several of his retainers. Kozuki Sukiyaki also had a premonition that his son was a little unreliable and liked to run away too much, so he was not at ease to entrust the future of the country to him.

Momonosuke can only be raised by the next generation.

Today, Momonosuke has grown up successfully to the age of 24. He has inherited his father's strong physique and is full of vigor when he speaks to people around him.

When the people saw Momonosuke's aggressive look, they all retreated. In the eyes of the people, this heir of the Kozuki family was not a good-tempered heir.

Perhaps it was because Kozuki Oden was away from Wano Country for many years and allowed Momonosuke to grow up wildly; or perhaps it was because Sukiyaki doted on his grandson too much.

In short, Momonosuke's personality is somewhat like that of a second-generation rich kid who has been spoiled.

Seeing that the people around him seemed to be somewhat afraid of him and were retreating in all directions, Momonosuke raised his eyebrows, glanced around, and directly grabbed a woman who wanted to leave, and asked:
"You should know what happened here, right?"

"Say!"

Momonosuke's tone was stern, which frightened the woman so much that she trembled. The fearful look on her face made Momonosuke narrow his eyes and look at the woman carefully.

She was about thirty years old, with soft brows and delicate features. Although she was not a beauty, she was above average in appearance. The most attractive thing about her was her voluptuous figure, which was far beyond the reach of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

"It was done by a young samurai in a red kimono and with long red hair."

"They said the red-haired warrior stole their money and wanted it back, so a conflict broke out between the two groups."

"The man didn't even move his sword, and the two warriors suddenly fell down."

"Oh right, that warrior is heading that way."

"Lord Momonosuke, this is all I know."

The woman noticed Momonosuke's gaze on her, stretched out her hand and pointed towards the south, then covered her plump chest with her head down and answered. Thinking of some rumors about Lord Momonosuke, the woman's body trembled involuntarily.

"Tsk."

Momonosuke saw the woman's frightened look, smacked his lips lightly, let her go, glanced at the two young men lying on the ground, waved to his subordinates and ordered:

"Four people, take these two guys to the infirmary. When they wake up, ask them what happened."

"Everyone else, chase!"

Momonosuke gave orders to his subordinates, then turned around, looked at the woman, and said soothingly:

"Don't be scared, it's just a routine matter. I just asked you a few questions."

"Is it necessary to act like this? I'm not going to eat you."

"By the way, what's your name? Where is your home?"

Hearing Momonosuke's question, the woman's face turned pale, her body seemed to have lost all her strength, and she collapsed involuntarily and sat down on the ground.

The people around were also very secretive. They pretended not to see what was happening and turned away.

Only one man quickly rushed to Momonosuke, held his wife, and asked Momonosuke with a sad face: "Lord Momonosuke."

"My wife has told me everything she knows, please be kind and let me go."

Before the man could finish his words, Momonosuke suddenly drew out the sword from his waist and placed it directly on the man's neck, staring at him with a bad look:

"What do you mean by that?"

"Please, please?"

"What do you mean by be kind? What have I done to you?"

"what?!"

"But I'm just asking where you live. In case we fail to catch the criminal later, I'll have to ask you for more specific information."

"And if you're lying, I have to be able to find you and hold you accountable, right?!"

The knife in Momonosuke's hand also made the couple tremble with fear and dare not speak. Seeing the two people's fearful looks, Momonosuke didn't know why, but a nameless fire surged in his chest. He grabbed the man's collar and pulled him in front of him, and then said to the woman next to him:
"You don't say anything. Are you afraid that I will expose your lies?"

"Are you in league with that thief?"

Seeing that the two men still didn't speak, Momonosuke lost his patience and left the man aside. Then he said to his subordinates behind him: "These two people may be accomplices, take them back together!"

Seeing the samurai holding shackles approaching him, the man finally couldn't bear the huge pressure in his heart and said hurriedly: "Master Momonosuke, we live in Mingmen Street, Lane 3, Gate 4"

The man spoke these words as if he had used up all his strength. After he finished speaking, the woman beside him burst into tears and hugged her husband tightly.

"whispering sound"

And at the moment when Momonosuke was asking the questions, the people who were watching the excitement on the street were looking at this place from afar. Feeling the strange gazes from those people, Momonosuke waved his hand, and immediately led his people away, chasing in the direction where Tsugakuni Yoshiichi had left.

"Don't worry, we'll go back to Hime right away."

"I will protect you and will never let you get hurt."

After seeing Momonosuke and others leave, the man hugged his wife tightly and comforted her softly.

Yoshiichi Tsugakuni didn't know that Momonosuke and his subordinates had already started searching for him in the Flower Capital.

At this time, he had already left the Flower City. After finding someone on the road to ask about the direction of Jiuli, he walked towards Jiuli.

Kozuki Oden has not returned to his country yet, and Tsugikuni Yoriichi also plans to take a good look around the island and get to know the country of Wano in depth.

If possible, he would also like to find a craftsman to make a scabbard for his broken sword.

The weapon Dawn has been with him for so many years, and he has already developed feelings for it. Even though the connection has been broken now, Yuanyi can't bear to throw it away.

The departure of Yuichi Tsugakuni also caused the two forces in the Flower City to search for him hard, but they were unable to find any trace of Yuichi Tsugakuni.

into the night.

Momonosuke came to Mingmen Street following the address he got in the morning. After searching for a while, he finally arrived at the door of the so-called Third Lane and Fourth Gate house.

After knocking on the door for a while, I found that no one answered.

Momonosuke, feeling something was wrong, kicked the door open, only to find that the place was empty.

Momonosuke, who had no place to vent his anger, suddenly drew out the long sword from his waist and cut the table in the house in half with one stroke. Then he left Mingmen Street angrily and walked towards the teahouse.
