Chapter 599 Cats and Dogs! (2 in 1)

The aura of the Nine Red Scabbards is much stronger than that of ordinary people. Even in the densely populated town of Boluo, the aura of these guys is like a bright light in the night in the perception of Tsugikuni Yoriichi's observation Haki. It is really too dazzling.

Momonosuke, who was in a trance and about to fall asleep, seemed to sense an unusual breath. As the Nine Red Scabbards approached their residence within a kilometer, Momonosuke suddenly woke up, opened his eyes, and carefully sensed the breath of his retainers.

He thought that Tsugakuni Yoshiichirō was unaware of someone approaching, and was still lying on the ground, with no intention of getting up and no sound. However, his eyes revealed a strong expectation, as he expected his retainers to rescue him from the hands of the man in front of him.

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi
Even though Momonosuke already knew the name of Tsugakuni Yoriichi, he had been "confined" in Wano Country for so many years that he had no idea what this name meant.

Maybe he had heard the "uncles" of the Whitebeard Pirates mention this name by chance, and had seen some information about Yoriichi Tsugakuni in a newspaper brought back from Wano Country from outside, but he had never paid attention to people or things outside the island before.

The luxurious life in Wano Country has already filled Momonosuke's heart. How can Momonosuke, who is addicted to wine and sex, pay attention to the powerful people overseas?

No matter how powerful or famous the overseas experts are, what influence can they have on him?

According to Yoshiichi Tsugakuni's perception, the auras of eight strange strong men stopped less than a hundred meters away from the inn.

The other party also didn't seem to have any intention of breaking in directly. It seemed that he was still somewhat afraid of this strange and powerful man.

But as time passed, these people gradually lost their patience.

"Oh!"

Under the moonlight, on the roof of a house, Mist Lei Zang, who was crawling on the tiles, took the first step after receiving a signal from his companions.

"Scrolling Technique: Shadow Clone!"

Raizo is a user of superhuman abilities who ate the Curl-Curl Fruit. He can use scrolls to absorb attacks from his opponents, and he can also use the power absorbed by the scrolls to transform it into various special abilities.

Raizo also once regarded the power of the devil fruit as the so-called "ninjutsu" and always regarded himself as a ninja. And this is indeed the case. After the power of the scroll fruit was manifested, Raizo really had the ability comparable to that of a ninja.

Of course, such an ability is like juggling in front of a truly strong person.

"Hmm!?" Yuichiro Tsugikoku in the room seemed to have sensed something, and couldn't help but murmur, raising his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.

"call out--"

Suddenly, a sound of breaking air was heard from outside, and black shadows fell from the sky and attacked the room where Jiguo Yuanyi was.

One of Raizo's clones aimed directly at Tsugumi Yoshiichi who was sitting in front of the window. He put his feet together and kicked directly towards Yoshiichi. As for the other clones, they directly blasted through the wooden wall and broke into the room.

After quickly observing the indoor environment, Raizo also discovered Momonosuke lying on the ground. Several figures quickly rushed towards Momonosuke, and did not care about Yoshiichi Tsugakuni who was sitting in front of the windowsill. They just wanted to take Momonosuke away first.

"puff!"

Yoshikazu Tsuchikko, who was sitting in front of the windowsill, just slightly turned sideways, and Raizo's clone passed directly through his side and then fell to the ground, turning into a puff of white mist and disappearing from Yoshikazu Tsuchikko's sight.

"Ouch?!"

"Interesting ability."

Seeing that several of Raizo's clones had already held up Momonosuke who was lying on the ground, it was only at this time that Tsugakuni Yoshiichi made a move. He flicked his five fingers, and several wisps of golden flames turned into sharp arrows, which pierced through Raizo's clones in the blink of an eye. Thick white smoke filled the room and even poured out of the window, which was seen by several other retainers of Kozuki Oden.

"Do it!"

Under the night sky, Kin'emon let out a loud shout. The moment he finished speaking, several black shadows flew up from the eaves on all sides outside the inn and attacked directly towards the room where Tsugumi Yoriichi was.

The offensive of these people was very targeted. Some were responsible for rescuing Momonosuke, and some were responsible for attacking Tsugakuni Yoriichi to delay him. The allocation was very methodical.

Kawamatsu, Raizo and Kikunosuke are fast and agile, and they are assigned the task of rescuing Momonosuke.

Kin'emon, Denjiro, and Kurozumi Kanjuro are responsible for the support outside. Kurozumi Kanjuro is the user of the superhuman Pen-Pen Fruit, which allows him to materialize what he draws, just like a fake painting of a ninjutsu super beast in the world of Naruto.

At this time, he had already drawn a big bird in the scroll, and was waiting for Momonosuke to arrive, so that he could fly away quickly with a few people.

As for the three people with the strongest frontal combat power, Inuarashi, Cat Viper and Ashura Douji, they directly attacked Tsugakuni Yoshiichi.

Inuarashi and Cat Viper are both from the Fur Tribe. Their sense of smell and hearing are much stronger than normal people. They also possess powerful observation Haki, and can lock onto Tsugakuni Yoriichi's location in the first place even in thick fog.

After Tsugaru Yoshitaka dispersed Raizo's clones with a flick of his finger, the attacks of Inuarashi and Nekomamushi had already reached him one after another.

One of them held a sword and the other held a fork, and they attacked Jiguo Yuanyi who was in the thick fog.

"Cats and Dogs"

"Are you two Kozuki Oden's pets?"

In the thick fog, Yoshiko Tsuchiya suddenly turned around, and the terrifying domineering aura swept out and instantly dispersed the thick white fog in the room. Momonosuke finally stopped hiding at this moment. At the moment Yoshiko Tsuchiya dispersed the thick fog, his body was already sticking to the door, and he was carefully preparing to open the door and leave.

Momonosuke looked out the window and happened to see Inuarashi and Cat Viper who were attacking Tsugakuni Yoriichi from outside under the moonlight. He was about to open his mouth to ask for help, but was suddenly swept away by Tsugakuni Yoriichi's domineering aura. He opened his mouth but could not utter a word.

"Om-"

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi didn't even make a move. The domineering aura that had condensed into substance directly hit Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, reducing their momentum.

The next moment, a sword light wrapped in the night flashed in front of the two people. Inuarashi and Cat Viper only felt a pain in their abdomen, and they flew backwards together, falling on the street not far away and blasting two large holes.

"hiss--"

"it hurts!!!"

The intense pain made the strong Inuarashi gasp involuntarily, and Cat Viper also covered his abdomen and cried out in pain.

The two men looked down and saw the wounds on their bodies. Their pupils shrank suddenly and an expression of disbelief appeared on their faces.

After just one encounter, they were repelled.

Moreover, the powerful domineering aura he displayed just now was not even comparable to the strongest person in Wano Country, Kozuki Oden!
Upon noticing this, Inuarashi and Cat Viper's expressions became extremely solemn, and they both realized that today's plan might have a big problem.

"Stop, step back first!!!"

Inuarashi is a person who has traveled overseas with the Whitebeard Pirates. His understanding of this world is much more profound than those retainers who were born and raised in Wano Land.

The moment he was knocked back and fell to the ground, Inuarashi had already realized that the enemy in the room was no match for them.

However, his shout was a little late after all, as Kawamatsu, Raizo, Kikunosuke and others had already rushed towards the room where Tsugumi Yoshiichi was.

It's just that the three of them came quickly and left even faster. In the blink of an eye, three black shadows were blown out of the room and crashed into several houses, stirring up clouds of dust. Then they became silent and it was unknown whether they were alive or dead.

Inuarashi and Cat Viper looked at their companions who were knocked away, their faces full of worry.

Ashura Boy, who was the slowest, rushed over and saw his companions being knocked away one after another. He subconsciously stopped, holding a knife in his hand, and stared blankly at the room on the second floor.

A large hole was opened by Raizo at the original window position, like a door. Jigoku Yoshiichi slowly stood up and walked to the window sill, looking at Inuarashi, Nekomaru and others on the street. He looked down at everyone from a high position, and under the gaze of several people, he said:

"Inuarashi, Nekomaru, hehe, I recognize you!"

"The people on the Whitebeard Pirates' ship, I didn't expect that Kozuki Oden went out to sea without taking you two with him."

"Just leave now, I can let you live."

The moonlight fell on Tsugukuni Yoriichi's face. Inuarashi and Cat Viper slowly stood up from the ground and looked in the direction of Tsugukuni Yoriichi. In the dark of night, they finally saw the enemy's face clearly.

"!!!"

The moment they saw Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's face clearly, the cat and the dog were stunned on the spot. They were different from Raizo and the others. As former crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates, this was not the first time they had seen Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's face.

Although the current Yoriichirō looks slightly different from the man in their impression, upon closer inspection, apart from the flame-shaped mark on his forehead, the man in front of them looks exactly like the man who was supposed to have died in the Kingdom of Alabasta.

"Who are you?!"

Although Cat Viper already had some guesses in his mind, he still couldn't imagine that the guy who should have died several years ago would suddenly appear in Wano Country.

"Cat Viper"

"Haven't you already recognized me? Why are you asking such a question?"

"My name is Yuichi Tsugikoku"

"I don't know if this answer will satisfy you."

Yoriichirō's eyes were fixed on Cat Viper. As soon as the name Tsugukuni Yoriichirō came out of his own mouth, the expressions of Cat Viper and Inuarashi could not help but change suddenly.

Do you doubt the authenticity of the other party's identity?

Recalling that the two of them were knocked away by the man in front of them after just a brief encounter, the authenticity of Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's identity has been strongly proven.

Even Kozuki Oden might not be able to knock them down in one encounter if the two of them were prepared.

But if that person is Yoriichi Tsugakuni, then everything makes sense.

As for why the man who was supposed to have died many years ago suddenly appeared in Wano Country, this was no longer something that Inu and Neko Viper had to consider.

How to rescue their young master from the hands of Tsugikuni Yoriichi has become the top priority for people like Cat Viper.

"Tsugikoku Yoriichi, are you really Tsugikoku Yoriichi?!"

"Aren't you dead? Why are you still here?"

"If you are yourself, why did you suddenly appear in Wano Country?"

"Also, why did you kidnap Lord Momonosuke?!"

"There shouldn't be any conflicts between us and you, right?"

The conversation between the few people had also attracted the attention of Kin'emon and others who were ready to respond dozens of meters away. Due to the distance, they could not hear clearly, but when they saw that Cat Viper, Inuarashi and others failed to rescue Momonosuke, and instead stood on the street chatting with the enemy, the three of them could not help but become anxious.

"Of course I came to Wano Country because I have something to do."

"As for kidnapping Momonosuke?! Haha, it seems like you made a mistake."

"I didn't come looking for Momonosuke. This 'child' came looking for me."

As he spoke, Yoshiichi Tsugakuni suddenly turned around and looked at Momonosuke who had just opened the door and was about to escape. Momonosuke was so frightened by his words that he stood still, turned around awkwardly, and said nothing.

Yunichirō suddenly stretched out his hand towards Momonosuke, and the golden flame instantly turned into a long whip. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Momonosuke, tied around his waist, and dragged Momonosuke to Yunichirō's side in an instant.

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi grabbed Momonosuke by the collar and forced him to kneel beside him. He then turned to Cat Viper and the others and said:
"It's obvious that this guy has his eyes on my gold and is deliberately causing trouble for me. How did it become my problem?"

"The child made a mistake and has no ability to correct it. I'm looking for his father to make amends and take him away. Is there any problem?"

"Now, just apologizing is not enough."

"You attacked me at night and killed me. You must settle this account with me."

"But I'm not going to settle with you. When Kozuki Oden returns, I'll settle with him!"

"I won't kill you, or I'll die without any evidence."

In this matter, Yunyi was really able to stand on the moral high ground and criticize these people, and he also showed his magnanimity towards them.

Yoriichi is completely capable of killing all these people, but he doesn't want their lives. What he wants are the potential resources of Wano Country.

A country that can produce famous swords will be of great significance to the new navy, and its value is difficult to measure.

Yoriichi plans to incorporate Wano Country into the administrative system of the new navy. During this process, Yoriichi needs to seize the initiative at all times, because Momonosuke, who comes to him on his own initiative out of greed for his gold, is the best breakthrough point.

"what?!"

"I've got my eye on your gold, what are you talking about?!"

"How is this possible? There's no way Momonosuke-sama is that kind of person."

"Isn't it because you stole that this happened?"

Having said this, Cat Viper suddenly stopped talking.

Tsugumi Yuichiro stole money from civilians?!

I'm afraid no one will believe this if I say it out loud
As for the fact that Momonosuke had his eyes on the other party's gold, although it was equally outrageous, combined with the various outrageous things Momonosuke had done in the country, this kind of thing seemed to be much more credible than Tsugikoku Yoshiichi stealing civilians' money.
"Even so, we absolutely cannot hand over Lord Momonosuke to you."

"Otherwise, we will have no way to explain to Lord Kozuki Oden!"

"Nekato, bring Momonosuke-sama back first!"

Inuarashi glanced at Momonosuke's bloodstained clothes, and his words interrupted Cat Viper's thoughts. Cat Viper glanced sideways and found that Inuarashi was slightly bent over at this time, with red eyes that looked a little scary, and a violent aura was rapidly rising.

When Cat Viper saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes became firm. The moment he turned to look at Tsugikuni Yoriichi, his body began to undergo the same changes.

the moon hangs high
Tonight, there is a full moon.
