Chapter 1097 Listen to the Sound of Everything

As retainers of the Kozuki family of Wano Country, Kinemon and the others recognized Inuarashi and Neko Viper, and naturally they confessed their true identities to the Straw Hats.

But for everyone in the Straw Hats, it doesn't matter. It's just a name. If you change the title, you will be the city lord. Although everyone is surprised, they are not that surprised. After all, all the people they see during the adventure are princesses, kings and the like.

Luffy's attitude towards Momonosuke is still that he should despise, despise, hate, hate.

Luffy will not change his attitude until Momonosuke makes progress.

.......

Neko Viper and Inuarashi on the other side watched Kinemon and the others chatting with the Straw Hats, chattering and lively. Looking at Momonosuke's appearance, they both couldn't help but sigh.

"It's only been a few months, and it seems like they've been brought along by their excitement."

It was just speculation for a few months. Neko Viper didn't know that Kinemon, Momonosuke and others who had experienced time and space jumps had gone through the past. Anyway, he and Inuarashi were in the past for decades, but Momonosuke could be reduced by this. Nothing better than grieving the loss of a couple.

Inuarashi crossed his arms and suggested, "It's [truce], old cat."

"If we hold on to the past any longer, it will make Momonosuke-sama sad."

Cat Viper is also reasonable, he just hates Inuarashi, "This is all for my lord... I will talk to you well, but I will never change my mind!"

"I can't ask for it!"

Inuarashi turned around, as did Neko Viper, and the two held hands in a handshake of reconciliation.

This scene brought tears to the eyes of the fur tribesmen.

"[The King of Day] and the [King of Night] have finally reconciled!!"

"It's amazing, this is the power of the Kozuki family!!"

.......

After the small talk, it's time to meet the [Ninja] Raizo who caused Zou's incident.

Whale Forest, Whale Tree.

"You have to climb the whale tree. As long as you figure out how to follow the vines, you can climb to the top."

Cat Viper explained as he was taken away.

Chopper lay on his head, Luffy sat on his tail, and everyone walked behind him, including Luo, who was one of his own, and Bai Yun and Xiaobai were at the end.

The two and Usopp were excited to meet the ninja.

"I'm looking forward to it! Ninja!"

"I can meet ninjas!"

"Ninja! Ninja!!"

"Luffy, Chopper, Usopp, it's better not to have too high expectations." Bai Yun reminded, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment will be if the results are not satisfactory.

"As expected, I still feel uncomfortable, Kinemon..."

"Actually, it's okay for you to wait below...Momonosuke-sama."

Momonosuke was being carried by Kinemon, and at first Bai Yun thought he was afraid of heights, until Momonosuke said.

“The closer I got to the whale tree, the louder [the sounds] I could hear.”

Bai Yun then remembered that Momonosuke, who seemed useless, actually had the same ability as Roger, the Pirate King, to listen to the sounds of all things.

Kinemon replied, "Your physique is very similar to Oden-sama."

It can be heard from these words that Oden also listens to the sounds of all things, so it may be hereditary.

All things do not just refer to those living creatures, stones and trees are also included.

Bai Yun remembered that Luffy seemed to have shown it on Fish-Man Island, but Luffy didn't know it.

As for himself, Bai Yun was able to talk to animals because of Xiaobai, and he never thought that he could listen to the voices of all things.

Inuarashi said, "There was another person who said the same thing."

Cat Viper chatted, "Yeah, I remembered it too..."

This person refers to Roger, and you'll understand why in a moment.

.......

"The entrance is in a place like this!"

"There are also more hidden doors that ordinary people can't find."

The internal entrance of the whale tree is on the tail of the whale, and here, the entrance is also very hidden. No wonder Jack and the others found nothing after searching for seven days.

"There are many steps on the stairs, so please be careful where you step."

Cat Viper reminded, just now it was climbing up, now it is going down.

Halfway through, everyone could clearly hear shouts coming from below, like the shouts of wild animals, but there was sadness in the shouts, "There is such a loud shout from below..."

"He is moaning." Bai Yun responded to Nami.

These words made Nami feel a little bad.

.......

"arrive."

After walking for a while, the stairs came to the end.

Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp were all very excited, "Yah! Where are the ninjas?"

"Ninja! Ninja!"

Without using Viper's fingers, a figure appeared in front of everyone.

"Ninja! Ninja..." However, after seeing it, Luffy's enthusiasm for ninjas inevitably decreased a lot.

The figure also spoke, "You are finally here!! Cat Viper!!"

It was a man tied up with iron chains. He had a big face, bigger than an average person's body. He looked similar to Ivankov. He had lightning-like eyebrows, a yellow crescent scar on his forehead, and a crab-like hairstyle. , with big fangs in his mouth, wearing a traditional blue kimono, with a huge purple rope tied to his shoulders.

This person is Lei Zang. His tears and screams at this time are because he blames the cat Viper for not handing him over and feels that he has harmed the fur tribe.

"Why don't you hand me over to the enemy!"

"Everyone who comes to deliver food is injured!"

"They say everything is fine in the kingdom...is that true?! If it's all lies, then I, Raizo, will definitely hate you to the end!"

Everyone was a little surprised when they saw Lei Zang's appearance, because it was completely different from the beautiful image he had imagined of him wearing night clothes, a black scarf covering half of his face, a well-proportioned figure, and a speed as fast as a ghost.

"Hey! It feels different from what I imagined!!"

Bai Yun said, "I told you not to have high expectations."

"Huh?! Who!"

"Raizou!"

"Oh!! Kin'emon, Kanjuro! You are all okay!"

Raizo is also a member of the time travel team.

"That's the crest of the Kozuki family, and... the red historical text."

As a scholar, Robin didn't care about ninjas, but she was immediately attracted to the historical objects here.

"I've never seen a historical text with this color."

"This is the text of red history." Bai Yun explained, but it seemed that he said nonsense.

Inuarashi picked up the end of Bai Yun's words, "That family crest existed hundreds of years ago. I know you, Nico Robin. I've heard that [O'Hara] deciphered that kind of writing."

"Why are the words on it red and the stones red? It seems to have another purpose. Can you understand it?"

Robin nodded and looked closer at the words, "Yes...can I take a look?"

"of course."
