Chapter 601 Return, Rage and Hatred! (2 in 1)

There was no sound of fighting in the streets of Boluo Town. Cat-belly Snake and Inuarashi fell in a pool of blood one after another. Although their lives were not in danger, they no longer had the strength to fight.

The short sword in Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's hand grew a little longer, and the black blade reflected a tiny light under the moonlight. Yoshiichi glanced at Cat-belly Snake and Inuarashi who were lying on the ground and trying to get up. For some reason, he was suddenly touched by the persistence of these two people.

They are obviously two very weak guys, but in order to protect someone like Momonosuke, they are willing to go against me.

Even though he knew they were no match for him, Yunyi did not feel any intention of giving up from the two of them. Yunyi had not seen this kind of will in others for a long time.

He now actually wanted to know very much what kind of magic a man like Kozuki Oden had that could make Cat Viper and Inuarashi so loyal that they actually chose to risk their lives to protect Momonosuke.

At this time, Yoriichirō's contact with Kozuki Oden was extremely limited, and he really did not see such personal charm in Kozuki Oden. Maybe... it was because his contact with the other party was not deep enough?
"Don't try to stand up again. You know you can't stop me."

"When you get back, ask Oden to come over. I have something to discuss with him."

Yunyi had no intention of killing Nekomaru and Inuarashi. After saying a few words, his figure turned into a golden light and instantly disappeared from the sight of Inuarashi, Nekomaru and the others.

The two people who had been paying attention to Tsugikuni Yoriichi's movements knew where Yoriichi was going, and stretched out their hands to try to stop him, but it was in vain in the end.

……

"Swish——" The sound of breaking through the air rang out in the sky above Boluo Town.

Momonosuke and Kurozumi Kanjuro were riding on a large painted bird, flying towards the daimyo's mansion of the Kozuki family.

This big bird looked a little sloppy. Although it flapped its wings hard, its flying speed was really not good. After Momonosuke was rescued, it only flew less than a kilometer with two people on board.

On the back of the bird, Momonosuke, who had awakened his Observation Haki, could no longer sense the fighting on the street behind him. His already ugly expression looked even more anxious at this moment.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!"

"Take me away from here quickly!"

"There's no movement from Cat Viper and the others!"

The quiet street behind him made Momonosuke panic. He had already anticipated that Cat Viper and Inuarashi might have been defeated, and the enemy might have been chasing him...

As for the two retainers who fantasized about their father being able to defeat the man named Tsugikoku Yoriichi? !

Momonosuke really didn't have any idea in his mind.

Although Momonosuke has certain character flaws, he is ultimately a samurai who has been carefully trained by the Nine Scabbards and has certain strength.

In fact, he had already seen that Cat Viper and Inuarashi were no match for Tsugikoku Yoriichi. From the first fight between the two sides. When Momonosuke saw that Tsugikoku Yoriichi could easily defeat the two retainers with one strike, Momonosuke had already understood...

What Cat Viper and his men can do is not to knock down their opponents, but to delay them to buy themselves time to escape.

Momonosuke has made up his mind to leave Robo Town and go to Renbu Port to take a ship out to sea. Only by going out to the vast ocean can he escape the pursuit of that man.

And now... the slow flying speed of the big bird under his butt was simply not enough to satisfy Momonosuke.

The fear of Tsugakuni Yoriichi in his heart turned into anger towards Kurozumi Kanjuro's incompetence.

"Pah!" Momonosuke suddenly turned around and grabbed Kurozumi Kanjuro by the collar, shouting angrily:
"Can you make your ugly bird faster!!!"

Kurozumi Kanjuro waved his hands repeatedly as Momonosuke angrily questioned him, his face full of grievance:

"Hug...sorry..."

"Lord Momonosuke, it...it has been trying very hard!" As if to cooperate with Kurozumi Kanjuro's words, the big bird under the two men's seats made a "chirp" sound, and flapped its wings even more vigorously.

Upon hearing this, Momonosuke turned around with an unhappy look on his face, and the moment Momonosuke turned his head and moved his eyes away from Kurozumi Kanjuro, a sinister look appeared on Kurozumi Kanjuro's face.

"Kanjuro..."

"You are the most loyal retainer of our Kozuki family, right?!"

Suddenly, Momonosuke, who had his back to Kanjuro, asked without any context. Kanjuro's vicious expression quickly disappeared, and he replied in a flattering tone:
"Of course! Lord Momonosuke!"

"You can see how I treat you!" Kanjuro patted his chest and said in a loud voice.

"Yeah……"

"I need you to help me now..."

"For my sake, I've wronged you!"

Momonosuke suddenly turned around while speaking, looking at Kurozumi Kanjuro with cold eyes. Kanjuro couldn't help but be startled when he heard Momonosuke's cold words. The next second, without waiting for him to react, Momonosuke grabbed Kanjuro's arm and pulled it outward with all his strength, actually throwing Kanjuro off the bird's back.

The two of them were now a hundred meters above the ground. If they fell from this height, Kanjuro would be dead for sure.

"Momonosuke-sama!!!"

Kanjuro fell from the sky, his angry and unwilling roar piercing the night sky. Kanjuro never dreamed that before the various plans of the Harimitsuki family had begun to unfold, he was secretly attacked by Momonosuke.

The feeling of falling became stronger and stronger, and Kanjuro's face became more and more hideous and terrifying. In the end, only anger and despair were left.

"Puff--" The moment Kanjuro's body fell to the ground, he was like a puddle of mud, and he stopped breathing in an instant.

Under the night sky, the big bird carrying Momonosuke was no longer burdened by a person, so its flying speed was much faster. Moreover, this big bird seemed to have human emotions. Looking at its master falling, its face showed a terrified expression like a human.

Momonosuke looked in the direction where Kanjuro fell, and a faint smile of success appeared on his face:

"Heh... Kanjuro, I will never forget your contribution to our Guanyue family!"

Turning back, Momonosuke suddenly found a shadow covering him, and his pupils were filled with a red samurai uniform.

The smile froze on Momonosuke's face. He slowly raised his head and found a familiar face in front of him.

"you you……"

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi stood on the bird's head, looking indifferently at the dazed Momonosuke in front of him, and slowly raised the broken blade in his hand:

"You're surprised I'm here, aren't you?"

"I thought I had warned you, Momonosuke."

"Although I have no grudge against you, the guy you pushed down may not be a good person."

"But Momonosuke, do you think it's worthwhile for someone like you to continue living?"

Jiguo Yuanyi looked at Momonosuke in front of him with a cold gaze, and the murderous intent in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

In the eyes of Yoriichi Tsugakuni, Momonosuke's behavior is worthy of death. Faced with a retainer who risked his life to save him, Momonosuke's behavior is completely contrary to Yoriichi Tsugakuni's values.

Yoriichi had no way of imagining what kind of country Wano would become if such a person took control of the country in the future.

To be honest, Yoriichi Tsugakuni never had the intention to kill Momonosuke, because in his impression, although that guy is stupid, he treats ordinary people in Wano Country well. Yoriichi wants to bring Wano Country under the control of the new navy, and Kozuki Oden, who has a very high prestige in Wano Country, is a very good target to win over.

Yoriichi knew that there was a conflict between him and the Whitebeard Pirates, but Yoriichi Tsugakuin also understood Kozuki Oden's character. As long as some remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates were used as bargaining chips, Kozuki Oden would choose to compromise.

Because he is the kind of person who would surrender to the powerful enemy in front of him for the sake of others. When facing Kaido, even though they were equally strong, Oden was afraid that his family would get hurt and chose to compromise.

Facing Tsugikoku Yoriichi, Kozuki Oden will only compromise more decisively.

As Momonosuke was the eldest son of Kozuki Oden, Tsugakuni Yoriichi would not threaten his life.

But now, after seeing with his own eyes what Momonosuke did, Yoriichi has completely changed his mind.

For a person with Momonosuke's personality, let alone giving him the opportunity to reach a high position one day, Yoriichi would never keep such a person.

Perhaps killing Momonosuke will completely push Wano Country to the opposite side of itself, but for Tsugakuni Yoriichi, that is a matter for the future!

"what are you going to do?!"

Momonosuke saw the murderous intent towards him from the cold and indifferent eyes of Tsugumi Yoshiichirō, and he couldn't help feeling a little frightened and asked anxiously.

"Don't kill me. I won't run away!"

"You can't kill me either. My father is Kozuki Oden, the younger brother of Whitebeard!!!"

"Whitebeard, do you know? The Whitebeard Pirates are now led by my father. If you kill me, my father will hunt you down to death!"

Momonosuke appeared to be strong on the outside but weak on the inside at this moment. Although he said all kinds of threatening words, his inner panic was visible at a glance.

"Are these your last words?"

"Until you die, you will never understand why I suddenly changed my mind and wanted to kill you."

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi shook his head and sighed softly. As he spoke, he slashed his long sword diagonally. A flash of sword light flashed directly across Momonosuke's neck, and the next second, the begging voice disappeared without a trace.

A column of blood spurted out from the broken part of Momonosuke's body, and the blood in the sky turned into a blood rain, falling to the ground.

Momonosuke's body also fell from the bird's back and fell towards the street below.

"Bang!!!"

The colorful bird painting under Tsuchikuni Yoshiichi's feet suddenly collapsed and disintegrated. After the giant bird disappeared, Yoshiichi's figure was still hovering in the air, looking in the direction where Momonosuke's body fell, with a calm expression.

After putting away the knife, Yunyi stood still for a few seconds and then turned into a golden stream of light and disappeared into the night sky in an instant.

When Yoshiichi Tsugumi returned to the hotel where he was staying, Cat Viper and the others had already left and were heading in the direction where Momonosuke had escaped.

Tsugakuni Yoshiichi had no intention of continuing to look for those people. After the survivors found the bodies of Momonosuke and Kanjuro, these people would naturally come back to find him.

Yoriichi didn't plan to think about how to get along with the people of Wano Country next. At most, he would just clean up all the remnants of Kozuki Oden and the Whitebeard Pirates.

It's just killing more people.
Such a thought flashed through Yuanyi's mind, and the next second, Yuanyi sat on the stool with a dazed expression.

When did I stop considering human life as something that can be disposed of at will? !
"What's wrong with me."

Ji Guoyuan whispered to himself, with a hint of pain on his face.

Ever since he left the Holy Spirit Island, Yunyi always felt that his emotions seemed to be somewhat out of control.

It's not that he would be blinded by anger, nor that he would be easily overwhelmed by other emotions and lose his mind.

But sometimes his perspective is too far away from this ordinary world.

He now doesn't seem like a normal human being. All the emotions that humans should instinctively have are difficult to feel in Yuichiro now.

When he was in the holy land, Yunyi was able to kill people ruthlessly and include everyone in the holy land in his attack.

And now, in order to achieve his own goals, Yoriichi no longer cares about the lives of Kozuki Oden and others, and simply treats those people as ants that can be crushed to death at any time.

But those people were clearly living beings, and they were clearly human beings just like Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

The cold moonlight shone into the room from the large hole in the curtain wall, and was imprinted on the face of Tsugikuni Yuichiro. The expression on Yuichiro's face changed several times, and after a few breaths, it returned to calm.

Although Yuichirō didn't know why he suddenly had such a change of mind.

But there is one thing that Yoshiichi Tsugumi can be sure of, and that is that everything he does now comes from his heart.

Whether it is in the holy land or in the present-day Wano Country.

Whether he attacked the Celestial Dragons or Momonosuke, it was all the result of his own will.

regret?!
That kind of thing would never appear in Tsugikuni Yoriichi's brain.

Tonight, someone is bound to have trouble falling asleep.

But this person will not be Yoriichi Tsugikoku.

"What happened? What happened?"

"Who is it?! Who killed my son!?"

In the Daimyo Mansion in Boluo Town, Momonosuke's remains were pieced together by a special person and are now placed intact in the hall.

Kozuki Toki merely lifted the shroud and glanced at the distorted corpse, then burst into tears and questioned the several retainers who were half-kneeling on the ground with a sad face.

"Tsugumi Kuniichi."

"Mrs. Toki, it must be Tsugikoku Yoriichi who killed Momonosuke-sama."

"Not only Momonosuke-sama, but Kurozumi Kanjuro also died at the hands of that guy."

"Madam, we are not doing our job well."

The cat viper's body was wrapped in thick bandages, and blood was oozing from the white bandage on its chest.

At this moment, he didn't care about his injuries. He bowed towards Guangyue Toki with a guilty look on his face and took all the responsibility on himself and his people.

Guang Shiji had no time to pay attention to Cat Viper at this moment. She was in tears and had no intention of listening to the reports from her retainers.

"Oden. Let Oden come back soon!"

"Let him come back soon!!!"
