Chapter 596 The Detained "Baby"! (2 in 1)

The bamboo forest is deep and the path is winding.

When the warm sunlight shone on the Hime Mountains, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi woke up from his sleep, stood up, and walked out of the simple shelter.

He was not in a hurry to travel yesterday. After walking to the bamboo forest, he built a simple shelter with ready-made materials and slept in the forest for the night.

In fact, Yuichiro Tsuchikuni really enjoys the feeling of having the sky as his blanket and the ground as his bed.

He has been constrained by too many things and has not lived his own life for a long time.

The trip to Wano Country also allowed Yoriichi Tsugakuni to regain the comfort of seclusion.

Stretching lazily and greeting the sunshine, Ji Guoyuanyi walked down the mountain along the winding path. After more than ten minutes, he stopped by a stream.

A trickle of spring water flowed through the mountains. He reached out and scooped up a handful of clear spring water to wash his face. The coolness that penetrated his bones also lifted Ji Guoyuan's spirits.

After a simple wash with the spring water, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi also walked towards Kuri following the direction sensed by his observation Haki.

However, today, Jiguo Yuanyi's pace quickened a lot. He was very interested in this isolated He Zhiguo, and wanted to spend a few days to tour the entire country.

He had already witnessed the prosperity of the Flower Capital, and even had a glimpse of the dark side hidden behind that prosperity, Yuichiro Tsugikuni.

But the Flower Capital is not Kozuki Oden’s real territory after all, Kuri is his base.

The living conditions of the people of Kuri can truly reflect the level of Kozuki Oden's governance ability, or in other words, the living conditions of the people of Kuri can determine Tsugumi Yoriichi's attitude towards Kozuki Oden in the future.

In less than an hour, Tsugumi Yoshiichi had crossed the mountains of Hime and entered Kuri, the territory of Kozuki Oden.

Compared to the prosperous Flower City, Boluo Town is more like the place where ordinary people actually live. There are not too many bustling streets, no busy wine houses or tea houses, but only simple people who are busy with their lives.

If Huazhidu is the treasury where the rich spend their money, then Jiuli is where the vast majority of the country's middle-class people live.

The whole town exudes an aura that is not as good and full of desire as the Flower City.

The appearance of Yoriichi Tsugakuni in the city, dressed as a samurai, did not attract the attention of passers-by. People were busy with their own affairs and no one had the time to care about others.

Yunyi was like a foreign traveler, walking and stopping on the street, admiring the street scenes of Boluo Town along the way, buying some food that interested him, and completely integrating into the lives of ordinary people.

Even in a closed country like Wano Country, there are inns and teahouses for travelers to stay in Boluo Town. Yunyi had no intention of sleeping in the wilderness tonight, so he found a remote inn and stayed there.

He didn't have any luggage with him, and after entering the store at noon, he went back to his room to take a nap. His leisurely and contented lifestyle was completely different from his previous ones.

"Wow--"

The small hotel where Yuichi Tsugumi was staying suddenly felt a slight vibration. Yuichi Tsugumi, who was sleeping, noticed it and suddenly opened his eyes.

He stood up and walked to the window, looking towards the street, and happened to see two teams of nearly a hundred warriors equipped with long swords approaching the hotel from both sides of the street.

The people on the street were driven away by these warriors, and in just a few minutes, these warriors had surrounded the inn.

Under the gaze of Jiguo Yuanyi, a black-haired young man with a long sword on his waist walked out of the crowd, walked to the door of the hotel, looked up in the direction of the room on the second floor where Jiguo Yuanyi lived, and the young man's eyes instantly met Jiguo Yuanyi's.

"Red hair, young warrior!"

"Haha, I found you!"

It was Momonosuke who led the team to the door of the inn at this time. The two young men who were knocked unconscious by Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's domineering aura had woken up last night. Under Momonosuke's questioning, I also revealed to Momonosuke the information that Tsugakuni Yoshiichi had gold of unknown origin.

There is only one golden house in the entire Wano Country, and the wealth it represents is unimaginable for others.

Behind this golden house, the umbrella of protection is not just Kurozumi Orochi. Kozuki Momonosuke, the son of Kuri Daimyo Kozuki Oden, is also one of the umbrellas.

Kozuki Oden was away from home most of the year and neglected to take care of his son.

Kotsuki Sukiyaki doted on his grandson too much, so much so that Kotsuki Momonosuke was infected with a common problem among many children of nobles.

He leads a dissolute life and loves wine and beautiful women.

With the blessing of the power of his ancestors and parents, and the deliberate flattery and guidance of people like Kurozumi Orochi, Kozuki Momonosuke, who had been lustful since childhood, also gradually exposed his true nature.

But there was only one outsider who had valuable gold, and Momonosuke was tempted. He spent a lot of effort to have people dig up the whereabouts of Tsugikuni Yoriichi.

Since entering Kuri in the morning, Tsugakuni Yoriichi has never concealed his whereabouts, so it is not surprising that he was found by Momonosuke.

In the hotel room, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi looked down at Momonosuke who was walking out of the crowd. The moment their eyes met, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi saw a strong desire in Momonosuke's eyes.

The moment the other party confirmed his identity, the excitement and throbbing in his eyes could not be concealed no matter what.

"Hey, you're the one stealing money in Flower City, right?"

"I didn't expect you to come to Jiuli so quickly. It really took me a long time to find you."

"But you are underestimating me, aren't you?!"

"No criminal can escape from my grasp!"

"Boy, come down!"

Momonosuke saw Yoriichi Tsugakuni sticking his head out of the window to look out, and immediately shouted at him at the top of his voice.

As Momonosuke finished his words, the warriors who came with him drew their swords one after another and looked at Tsugikoku Yoshitsugu with eager eyes.

"Lord Momonosuke, is this the thief you were talking about?"

"Who on earth are they that require such a big fight?"

"Lord Momonosuke, our actions have affected the normal lives of the surrounding residents. This is not appropriate. Should we let some brothers disperse first and leave a few people to do the work?"

Beside Momonosuke, Kitsune Kin'emon, who came with him, noticed that the samurai were violently driving away the people who were watching the excitement around them, and he couldn't help but frown and gave some kind advice.

However, before Momonosuke could express his opinion after hearing this, Kurozumi Kanjuro on the other side directly and rudely retorted: "Making a big fuss?! What do you mean by making a big fuss?"

"Lord Momonosuke, this is also to catch the criminal!"

"Wouldn't it be alright if we just got this sorted out quickly?"

"Kinemon, instead of talking nonsense like this in front of Lord Momonosuke, you might as well take people up there and capture that brat."

Kitsunebi Kin'emon and Kurozumi Kanjuro are both retainers under Kozuki Oden. During the time when Light is away from Wano Country, they are responsible for governing Kuri. However, their styles of doing things are completely different, and their attitudes towards Momonosuke are also very different.

Kin'emon is a rigid person, deeply influenced by samurai culture, and has a strong sense of responsibility. He is loyal to Momonosuke and regards him as his young master. However, if Momonosuke does something that does not conform to his values, Kin'emon will also speak out and admonish him. However, Kurozumi Kanjuro is completely different. He is more like a villain who only knows how to curry favor with others. No matter what Momonosuke wants to do, he will choose to support him unconditionally, no matter whether what Momonosuke wants to do is right or wrong.

The reason why Momonosuke has developed his current personality is closely related to Kurozumi Kanjuro.

At this time, Momonosuke heard Kurozumi Kanjuro's voice of support, and the corners of his mouth curled up a little, and then he ordered Kin'emon beside him with a serious face:
"Kinemon, stop wasting time."

"Take someone and bring that guy to me."

In response to Momonosuke's order, Kin'emon opened his mouth and nodded in agreement. He had to obey the young master's order. At this time, he just wanted to solve the matter quickly to prevent the samurai he brought with him from causing greater impact on other people.

However, Kin'emon had no intention of bringing anyone upstairs to arrest him. Instead, he chose to go alone and directly entered the hotel, heading towards the direction of Tsugumi Yoshiichi's room.

"Momonosuke"

"Kozuki Oden's son? Is he already this big?"

"But, does this guy think I'm a thief?"

"Have those two guys woken up yet!?"

The entire conversation between Momonosuke and his two retainers was heard by Tsugakuni Yoriichi. After a moment of thought, Tsugakuni Yoriichi turned over and jumped out of the window. He flew down and in just a blink of an eye, he landed lightly in front of Momonosuke.

When the samurai saw this scene, their faces changed. Kin'emon, who had just walked into the hotel, also heard the noise of the samurai. He hurriedly turned around and saw that the red-haired young man who was originally upstairs had already flown downstairs.

"Lord Momonosuke!!"

At this moment, Kin'emon suddenly became nervous. He realized that the other party was not simple and was afraid that Momonosuke, who was so close to Yoriichi Tsugakuni, would be in danger.

"oi?"

At this time, Momonosuke saw Tsugakuni Yoshiichi flying down from the second floor, and he murmured softly, raised his eyebrows, and showed a little surprise.

"He's still a thief?!"

With a light sneer, Momonosuke's eyes revealed contempt. He glanced at the sword on Tsugumi Yuichi's waist, and then he drew out the long sword from his waist and slashed directly at Tsugumi Yuichi.

In this attack, Momonosuke used his domineering aura. The flowing domineering aura attached to the blade, carrying endless power, slashing towards Tsugumi Yoshiichi's body.

As a direct descendant of the Kozuki family, Momonosuke has the same blood as Kozuki Oden flowing in his body. Momonosuke's talent is also very outstanding. Under systematic training, his strength is also very strong.

Not only had he mastered Observation Haki and Armament Haki early on, Momonosuke had even learned how to use Message Haki.

Even if you look at the entire Wano Country, his strength is already ranked among the best. Although it is far from comparable to his father when he was young, it would be a big mistake to underestimate Momonosuke's strength because of his noble status.

The opponent's attack was fierce. Although Tsugikuni Yoshiichi did not feel the opponent's murderous intent, if an ordinary person was hit by his sword, he would probably be seriously injured and dying.

With a slight lift of the wooden staff in his hand, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni blocked Momonosuke's attack with one hand.

"clang--"

A clear golden sound rang out in the street, and a strong gust of wind whistled in all directions. Momonosuke, who thought he could easily knock down his opponent, was shocked to see that his attack was easily blocked by the opponent.

The opponent was able to remain calm and take his attack without moving at all. This person's strength is even higher than mine!

Momonosuke instantly determined the strength of the enemy and us, quickly drew his sword, and flew backwards while shouting to the surrounding samurai:

"Come together and take him down!"

Momonosuke's shout also made the surrounding warriors react, and a group of warriors rushed towards Jikoku Yoshiichi with sharp blades in hand to kill him.

Kin'emon and Kurozumi Kanjuro, who arrived quickly, surrounded Yoshiichi Tsugakuni in the center one after another. The cautious opponent suddenly attacked.

"Who are you?"

"I've never heard of a top figure like you in Jiuli before."

Kin'emon is not a stupid man. After seeing Tsugakuni Yoriichi's skills, he also felt that there was something fishy about this matter.

However, the warriors brought by Momonosuke would not obey the orders of the guards at all. As soon as Momonosuke gave the order, they surrounded and killed Tsugumi Yoshida.

"what--"

The samurai roared and raised their swords to slash at Jigoku Yoshige, but because he was trapped in the encirclement of the samurai, he glanced at Kin'emon outside the battle formation, and then his pupils widened slightly, and the terrifying domineering aura directly found the people around him and swept out.

This domineering aura not only enveloped the samurai who surrounded and killed him, but also Kin'emon, Kurozumi Kanjuro, and Momonosuke who were outside the battle formation.

"Om-"

The domineering aura swept out, directly knocking out nearly a hundred samurai brought by Momonosuke and others.

Kin'emon and Kurozumi Kanjuro were also struggling to hold on under this terrifying domineering aura. The huge pressure forced them to their knees. They were sweating profusely and looked at Tsugikuni Yoriichi in the crowd with horror in their eyes.

And Momonosuke's eyes were full of confusion when he looked at Tsugakuni Yoriichi.

Overlord color and domineering.
This "thief" actually possesses the domineering aura? !

This sudden change also made several people's minds go blank.

Although Momonosuke was arrogant and domineering in Wano Country, his horizons were broadened under the influence of Kozuki Oden. He knew that there were many strong people in this world whom he could not afford to offend, so his arrogance was only directed at his own people.

However, what Momonosuke did not expect was that this guy in front of him, who was dressed as a samurai and looked no different from the citizens of Wano Country, actually possessed the domineering aura.

He just randomly targeted a guy, and he turned out to be a strong man that he couldn't afford to offend? How could Momonosuke have thought of such a thing?

"Kozuki Momonosuke, right?"

"I just happened to have something to do with your father."

"Since you are here, that's great. You can stay here first. The two of you can go tell Kozuki Oden to return home earlier. Come to my place to pick up the people!"

The figure of Yuichi Tsugakuni flashed and suddenly appeared in front of Momonosuke. He gently tapped Momonosuke's shoulder with the wooden stick in his hand. Momonosuke felt his knees go soft and he knelt down in front of Yuichi Tsugakuni.

Looking at Momonosuke kneeling in front of him, Tsugumi Yoshiichi looked deep in the eyes and spoke slowly to Kin'emon and others.
