The Voice of Zunesha

Clap clap clap!

"I didn't expect everyone to underestimate you." Roy clapped his hands as he walked in from the cave entrance. "Compared to your father, you are more like a ruthless hero. I even suspect that the plan to attack the Oda Family was your doing."

Momonosuke's slightly panicked expression once again confirmed Roy's suspicions.

"Damn it, how did the enemy sneak in? They were so close, yet we didn't notice at all. If he hadn't spoken up, we wouldn't have even realized he was there yet." Despite it being the transition from autumn to winter, Kanjuro was drenched in sweat and could only muster his courage to stand in front of Momonosuke.

"You bastard, annihilating the Kozuki Family wasn't enough, you actually chased them all the way here. Do you have to wipe them out completely?" Thinking of Kozuki Oden's entrustment that day, Kin'emon could no longer suppress his anger. Flames clung to his longsword, illuminating the entire cave, and he launched a fatal attack on Roy.

Seeing that Roy made no move to resist, Kin'emon felt a sense of relief. "Could it be that he was actually seriously injured by Oden-sama and is just putting on a brave face?"

However, Kin'emon's sword seemed to have struck thin air; unable to defend against the attack, his body was even pierced directly through Roy's phantom.

"What? Why is this happening? I don't believe it!" Kin'emon unleashed countless slashes at Roy's body like a madman, but Roy seemed to be an illusion, unaffected by anything. However, the cave was almost collapsed by Kin'emon's chaotic outburst.

"Kin'emon, stop! Do you want to bury Momonosuke alive in the cave?" Kanjuro quickly stopped Kin'emon's useless actions. At the same time, he felt powerless. The enemy didn't even bother to fight back and didn't move an inch. They couldn't even hurt him in the slightest. Such a disparity was truly despairing.

"It's no use. Our strengths are not even on the same level. It's like how no matter how powerful the person in the painting is, they can't hurt the person who painted it. That's a difference in levels." Roy shook his head and stared at Momonosuke, that "brat."

To everyone's surprise, Momonosuke, who had previously appeared decisive and ruthless, ordering the Mink Tribe to Momonosuke his retreat, suddenly broke down, retreating backwards in tears, crying, "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I don't want to die!"

As if he had just remembered something, Momonosuke crawled to the ground as if grasping at a straw. "Nightmare, please spare my life. I am very useful. As long as I give the order, the Mink Clan will submit to your command. You have seen their strength. Even in the outside world, they are definitely a force to be reckoned with."

Kin'emon and the others could hardly believe their eyes. Forgetting all the etiquette between retainers and their lord, they roared in fury, "Momonosuke, how can you fawn over your father's killer? You're practically recognizing a thief as your father!"

"Can you still be considered a descendant of the Kozuki Family, the successor of Oden-sama, with such behavior?" Kanjuro could no longer suppress his anger.

"Get up! Even if you die, die with dignity! You must not tarnish the honor of the Kozuki Family!" Raizo said angrily.

"I don't want to die! I don't want to die! I am the young master of the Kozuki Family! I still have so many years of my life to live! I absolutely cannot die here! I absolutely cannot!" Momonosuke shouted hoarsely, as if he had gone mad.

Roy watched the farce unfold with indifference, the Seven Star Sword slipping from his palm, its bloodthirsty and manic aura raging in the confined space. "I'm not here to enjoy your boring performance. If you want to continue wailing, go cry in hell."

Just as Roy raised the Seven Star Sword, preparing to annihilate the people in front of him with a single strike, a decaying and aged voice echoed in the cave.

"Powerful human, please spare the life of the descendant of the Kozuki Family."

"Who... who is speaking?" Momonosuke shouted loudly, startled like a frightened bird.

Kin'emon showed a look of pity. "There's no one else here, Momonosuke. Are you... hallucinating?"

Roy raised an eyebrow. This kid could hear Zunesha's voice. If it wasn't something special about the Kozuki Family, then Zunesha must have deliberately wanted him to hear it.

"Forgive them? Hmph, who do you think you are? You're just a prisoner who will never be free."

Roy knew that, in terms of pure power, let alone him, even Kaido or Whitebeard were far from being Zunesha for a monster like Zunesha. Even Drought Jack would be no match for him.

However, for Roy, Zunesha was not even as threatening as Kaido.

After all, he wasn't an idiot like Jack. Provoking Zunesha on the sea, where there was nowhere to escape, was tantamount to courting death.

He is currently on the back of the Zunesha. If the Zunesha wants to attack him, it must use its long Zunesha, and even then, it may not be able to reach him. Moreover, given his speed, it is impossible for Zunesha's clumsy movements.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Roy was fearless and completely unafraid of Zunesha's threat.

"Moreover, if I remember correctly, you were banished by the ancestors of the Kozuki Family, and were never allowed to stop your journey. Don't you hate the descendants of the Kozuki Family?"

"What? Is someone really talking?" Seeing that even Roy was talking to the void, Foxfire Kin'emon and the others finally became alert and realized that an unknown entity was talking to Roy and Momonosuke.

"Mistakes must be punished; this is the truth of the world. I naturally will not hate them." The ancient voice continued, "Powerful humans, the Kozuki Family bears an extremely important responsibility and is an indispensable existence in this world. I hope you can restrain your killing intent and give the descendants of the Kozuki Family a chance."

"The world? What does it have to do with me?" Roy said dismissively. "Besides, I've never liked to place my hopes on others. If there are any serious consequences, I'll just bear them myself."

"As for now, please remain silent while I kill someone."

Momonosuke, was terrified again, completely unable to understand why Roy had such a terrifying intent to kill him.

"Descendants of the Kozuki Family, give the order! Order me to attack them!" Zunesha's voice suddenly became urgent.

Although Momonosuke still didn't understand the existence of this voice, he could only grasp at straws in his desperation, "I, Kozuki Momonosuke, in the name of the Kozuki Family, command you to fight!"

The earth suddenly began to shake violently, as if one could hear a roar from ancient times.

Roy burst into maniacal laughter, "Since you're so reckless, I'll just kill you too."
