Hatchinos,
night.
There were stars in the sky and the endless coast. The two men looked calmly ahead, which was the direction of Wano Country.
"Ouch~"
At this moment, bursts of roars and roars of wild beasts came from the forest behind, making the atmosphere seem a bit quieter.
"Kusuka Kinemon...I know you!" Suddenly, the slightly indifferent man among the two spoke slowly.
'I've known it since a long time ago! '
The man added in his mind.
At the same time, the indifference on his face also faded a little, and his expression revealed a bit of nostalgia and emotion!
"...I am just a retainer."
"It is an honor for me, Lord Qianhe, to know my name." The man in kimono, who was called Kin'emon, bowed respectfully to express his gratitude, but his expression was always calm and calm, neither humble nor overbearing.
And these two people were surprisingly none other than Chikawa and Momonosuke's retainer, Kitsune Fire Kinemon!
If people saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked. After all, the two of them have nothing in common, they are completely unrelated, and their identities are thousands of miles apart.
"Is what you have in your hand the Time Fruit..." Qianhe said with certainty, not confirming, but feeling that it was going smoothly and inexplicably.
"Didn't your Excellency already know that?" Kinemon asked, and then looked at Qianhe with a depressed expression, "If this were not the case, Your Excellency would not have used the power of the Gate Fruit to bring me here from thousands of miles away. Bar."
"I did see it, but I was just a little surprised. That boy Momonosuke is quite courageous!"
Qianhe glanced at the box behind Kinemon indifferently, and did not immediately go to get the Devil Fruit that he had been looking for for several years. Instead, he was a little uninterested.
For pirates, without the process of searching, there is no surprise at all!
Of course, according to Momonosuke's plan, Kin'emon was originally going to hand over the Fruit of Time to Qianhe after the war ended.
pity,
He had forgotten, or in other words, he did not know how far Qianhe's knowledge and domineering power had reached, so that Qianhe had a glimpse of the future in advance!
"Although there was a problem with the timing, now that you have got what you want."
"...Please, Master Qianhe...let Wano Country go!"
Snapped!
After saying that, Kinemon gritted his teeth, and as if he had made up his mind, he knelt down in front of Qianhe without hesitation.
This war has not ended yet, which means that the mission assigned to him by Momonosuke has completely failed.
Now, everything depends on Qianhe's mood.
Therefore, he must atone for his sins, even if it costs his own dignity and life!
For Kinemon, kneeling down in front of the enemy shamelessly and begging for mercy is even more uncomfortable than being cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.
But compared with the tens of thousands of suffering people in Wano Country, and compared with the ambitions of His Highness Momonosuke, his personal honor and disgrace are simply insignificant!
"What a proud man."
Qianhe glanced at Kinemon beneath him and sighed: "As expected of a country of samurai, with such a spirit of sacrifice, I'm starting to look at you with admiration!"
Even a blind man could see that Kinemon clearly hated him to death, but at this moment, he still knelt down in front of him without hesitation.
It would be understandable if he was someone who was greedy for life and afraid of death, but Qianhe knew very well that Kinemon was not that kind of person!
What's more, he was the executioner who 'indirectly' exterminated Zou's fur tribe and massacred thousands of warriors in Wano Country.
Kaido is a part of him, so of course he is Kaido!
"Get up, I'll accept your 'chips'."
This is!
Do you agree? ! !
Kinemon put his forehead close to the ground and breathed a sigh of relief, his expression full of surprise.
He didn't expect Qianhe to agree so readily and without any difficulty. He had never expected this result.
After all, with the rise of the Qianhe Pirates, some of his bad tastes became widely known to the world.
When facing enemies, Su Muqianhe rarely kills them directly, but prefers to play games with them, making them fall into the abyss of despair step by step.
Especially the people he likes!
For example, Katakuri from Big Mom Pirates, Prince Loki from Elbaf...
wrong!
Maybe I don't have the qualifications yet.
Thinking of this, Kinemon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seems that sometimes being weak is not entirely a bad thing.
But what I represent now is His Highness Momonosuke. Doesn’t this mean that in the eyes of Sume Qianhe, His Highness Momonosuke is not as good as Katakuri?
How unreasonable!
His Highness Momonosuke is the most outstanding head of the Kozuki family for hundreds of years, and his talent even surpasses that of Oden-sama.
Thinking of this, and worrying about gains and losses, Kinemon felt a little aggrieved!
"Pity…"
"Your biggest mistake is to place your hopes in the hands of others and travel through time and space to the future!" Qianhe shook his head with regret.
Although Momonosuke and others did not travel to twenty years later in this era, but ten years later, the actual effect was quite limited.
In this turbulent era, every minute and every second is extremely critical. With Momonosuke's talent, if he is given ten more years, he will definitely be stronger than he is now.
Whether it is improving personal strength, or cultivating subordinates and developing power!
To put it bluntly, because of traveling through time and space, Momonosuke missed the best golden period of growth. He is not Luffy after all, and his strength cannot suddenly increase several times or dozens of times.
What's more, Momonosuke, who is only eighteen years old now, is one year younger than Luffy, but the reality is that he doesn't have much time to grow up!
After a pause, Qianhe continued:
"If you think that I covet the country of Wano, or that I have other plans for the Kozuki family, which is a masonry clan, then I'm afraid you are in the wrong direction."
"The samurai who purged Wano just didn't want anyone jumping up and down under my nose. Maybe I still had some thoughts about historical texts and the blank hundred years before, but now... I have completely lost interest in that history."
"Besides, don't think that everything will be fine if I don't intervene. The people who really covet the country of Wano haven't shown their fangs yet!"
The one who really... covets the country of Wano?
Is it a world government?
Kinemon frowned, suddenly having an ominous premonition. He didn't think Qianhe would lie to him about this kind of thing, because it was completely unnecessary.
"Founding the country?!!"
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, Kinemon was sweating profusely and his body was shaking uneasily as if he was struck by lightning.
According to Momonosuke's plan, they are indeed just preparing to take back Wano Country and let the people of Wano Country live a happy life, but this is just their wishful thinking.
To borrow a saying from Qianhe's previous life, people cannot help themselves when they are in the arena.
Even if all the samurai are killed, Wano Country and the Kozuki family still have a historical mission that must be undertaken and completed!
There is no way for the Kozuki family to avoid this huge whirlpool. Sooner or later, someone will find them sooner or later.
those people,
It may be the world government, it may be the revolutionary army and other forces, or it may be themselves!
…
"It seems you understand a little bit." Qianhe nodded with appreciation. He was able to react, but he was not hopelessly stupid.
"In addition to what I said before, it was a total of two wrong decisions! You had a safer and more effective way to take back the country of Wano, but..."
"You chose to join forces with the Straw Hat Kid even though you knew his true identity. This practice of drinking poison to quench your thirst has completely pushed you into the abyss!"
"It's easy to invite gods but hard to send them away. 'Lights' are not so easy to use!"
Qianhe can understand Momonosuke's thoughts. At a time when the Beast Pirates are facing a large number of pirates in the New World, this opportunity is once in a lifetime.
For the Straw Hat Pirates and the Revolutionary Army, he only uses them mainly and does not want to get too entangled with them!
but,
Think of Farbuti, the King of Elbaf. That poor guy's future was designed before he became king, and he didn't even know there was another soul in his head.
As for Momonosuke, who is of equal importance to him, there is no guarantee that Im and the others have not left any restrictions behind!
Perhaps...the conspiracy had already begun the moment he was born.
This is not impossible, nor is it a baseless speculation. The seeds were planted when Tianyue carried Joey Boy's will across eight hundred years and came to Roger's era!
Tianyue Toki and Kozuki Oden,
The meeting between the two was neither fate nor accident, but was planned in advance.
The arrival of the Heaven and Moon Time is not only to allow that will to cross time and space to this era, but also to plant a certain 'shackle' for an important chess piece, the crystallization of their love!
Thinking along this line of thinking, maybe it was not accidental that Red-haired Shanks got the rubber fruit.
The World Government has been searching for the Devil Fruit for eight hundred years without success - the Animal Type, the Human Fruit, the Phantasmal Beast Type, and Nika. It was found by Shanks by such a chance and then eaten by Luffy. Qianhe naturally did not believe it. of!
There must be some connection.
"Roger...Raff Drew...Luffy...Lights...wrong time, wrong person!!!"
"That's it!" Suddenly, Qianhe grinned, probably guessing what Roger said in the ear of red-haired Shanks before he died.
Not just that straw hat,
Roger also told Shanks the whereabouts of the rubber fruit and the real 'light'!
The reason why the World Government has never found the whereabouts of the rubber fruit is because the devil has been stored on the final island-Ravdru for eight hundred years.
Before Roger surrendered, he must have hidden the rubber fruit in a secret location, and then took it out at an important time point through Red-haired Shanks, and finally took it to the Windmill Village in the East China Sea!
He had the opportunity to change the future, but for some reason, he chose to guide it in the end and return everything to its original trajectory.
Starting from the East China Sea, starting from the record pointer of Twin Capes, guiding the Straw Hat crew along the way.
"Maybe he sees a brighter future that is good for everyone!" Qianhe murmured to himself.
Apart from that, Qianhe couldn't think of any other reason. The only possibility was that Luffy had done something he couldn't do to make the world a better place.
Of course, judging from Luffy's character, this is extremely possible, and the probability is not small!
In this way, not only the Revolutionary Army and the World Government, but also the red-haired Shanks hiding in the dark may have already taken action when everyone forgot.
When Shanks chose to escape when the red-haired pirates were destroyed, there must be something more important in Shanks' heart than self-esteem and partners!
In the past, Qianhe thought it was the World Government, the Five Old Stars and Im, the mysterious person who had a symbiotic relationship with him. After all, their relationship with the red hair was too confusing.
Later, Qianhe guessed that he might be a member of the 'd' family. Perhaps Shanks' former captain Roger was 'd', and the person he betted an arm on was still 'd'.
Now,
Everything has returned to its original point, and the identity of red-haired Shanks has become increasingly clear.
Somewhat similar to Doflamingo, red-haired Shanks is more like the middleman between the World Government and the pirates, and also the link between the Draco and D!
Whether it is Im or the dead Roger, they all hope to see the growth of 'Lights' and, starting with Luffy, end the nine-hundred-year-old dispute between Tianlong and 'D' and create a new one. era!
As a middleman, Qianhe was a little curious about what red-haired Shanks himself thought.
Do you have the same huge ambitions as Doflamingo, or do you really have no desires and desires, just for the peace and stability of the world?
"Tsk tsk, this world is getting more and more interesting."
"Kinemon..."
"I have a hunch that all your efforts may just be to make wedding dresses for others. Cherish now, this may be your last free time!"
…
