The Sword Is Complete

As Sirius watched Tenguyama Hitetsu depart, in the Flower Capital, at the city's central Tenshukaku.

"I never expected that kid would actually do something like this!"

With two beautiful geishas on each arm, the Kurozumi Orochi grinned and said, "I thought it was just a joke back then and now."

Kaido sat beside him, drinking alone, one glass after another, his face flushed red. Then he began to wail, "I couldn't even stop those brats!! It's all because I'm too weak!! Waaaaaah!"

The Orochi immediately curled its lip in disgust, "Here it comes again."

As he spoke, he shifted his position, creating distance between himself and Kaido.

He knew that Kaido too much, especially when he was emotionally agitated.

Sure enough, in just a few seconds, Kaido smashed the table in front of him with a single slap, yelling, "That brat Sirius!! I won't let him get away with this!!"

"When I find him, I'm going to snap his neck!"

"Okay, okay, stop your drunken rampage!"

Orochi rolled his eyes, "Haven't your pirates and my samurai and ninjas already set out?"

"Wano Country is only so big. As long as they are still in this country, we will definitely be able to find them."

"Is that so?"

In those few seconds, Kaido welled up with tears again, and he sobbed, "If... if we can't find it..."

"I'll kill you, I'll kill you! Waaah--"

What the hell does this have to do with me!

Even after all these years, I still don't understand this guy at all!

The veins on the Orochi's forehead throbbed.

However, just as Orochi said, at this moment, his samurai and ninjas, along with the pirates of the Beasts Pirates, had all been mobilized, sweeping through every corner of Wano Country like locusts, determined to find Sirius and the others.

Meanwhile, Sirius and the others were also eating.

Hiyori opened the bundle she had taken from Tenguyama Hitetsu. Everyone except Sirius, whose stomachs were already growling with hunger, immediately gathered around.

However, upon seeing the food inside the package, Ulti frowned and asked with obvious disgust, "What is this?! Is it really edible?"

Inside the package was a pile of dark, sticky-looking things that emitted a strange smell.

"Is this really food?" Page One also silently took a step back.

"Maybe it looks ugly, but it tastes really good?" Yamato walked over, tentatively picked up a Blackbeard Pirates, put it in his mouth, and chewed.

Her face immediately fell, and she said while chewing, "Ugh, this tastes awful! It's like mud mixed with water."

"How could you still eat that?" Jack watched in disbelief as she stuffed the Blackbeard Pirates into her mouth, then swallowed it with a bitter expression.

"Because I'm very hungry,"

Yamato's brows finally relaxed, and she smiled, saying, "Besides, wasting food isn't good, is it?"

"So who knows if that thing is food!"

Ulti shouted loudly. She walked up to Hiyori, put her hands on her hips, and although she was shorter than Hiyori, her aura seemed to completely overwhelm Hiyori.

"What on earth are you up to, woman?"

Hiyori wasn't angry at Ulti's attitude; she simply sighed softly, "This is indeed food."

"Those of you who have lived on Onigashima all this time are unaware that the land and water of this country have been polluted by factories, making it very difficult to grow crops. The little harvest we have is almost entirely lost due to Orochi's exorbitant taxes."

"This food is made from the leaves of a certain tree, and the villagers of Amigasa Village do indeed survive on it."

"Didn't you try hunting?" Black Maria couldn't help but ask.

The wilds of this country are home to all sorts of strange and wonderful creatures.

Hiyori shook her head. "If animals eat poisonous plants and drink poisonous water, toxins will accumulate in their bodies, which is something ordinary people cannot withstand."

"I see."

Sirius nodded, walked over, picked up a Blackbeard Pirates, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slightly.

"Hmm, it's not as bad as I imagined?"

Sirius nodded slightly in agreement, then swallowed the Blackbeard Pirates in a few bites. "I think it's alright."

"Isn't that obvious? Your sense of taste is on a completely different level from a normal person's!"

Ulti rolled her eyes. "You just ate a few real trees! This stuff was at least processed."

Sirius thought that made sense.

Stones, soil, ice, blades, trees, cement, steel—he's chewed on way too many things.

This stuff tastes pretty good.

"There's nothing to complain about; in this situation, being able to fill our stomachs is enough."

Jack took the lead, picked up a Blackbeard Pirates, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it whole.

"I want one too!"

Page One's expression turned serious. He solemnly picked up a Blackbeard Pirates with both hands and looked at Sirius. "Brother, please acknowledge my courage!"

As he spoke, he stuffed the Blackbeard Pirates into his mouth.

So, what kind of courage is this?

Sirius smiled and shook his head.

Hiyori suddenly said, "Speaking of which, the Beasts Pirates and Orochi have joined forces to launch a massive manhunt."

Sirius looked at her in surprise. "How did you know?"

"The person beside Orochi is a retainer of the Kozuki clan."

Hiyori made no attempt to hide anything, stating directly, "Your information was relayed to me by him after he heard it from Orochi."

"I see."

Sirius nodded.

"Do we need to hide?" Black Maria tapped her lips with her finger. "How about digging a hole? Sirius could easily gnaw out a huge burrow, right?"

Sirius rolled his eyes.

However, I must say, this suggestion is good.

"No need."

Hiyori and said, "This place won't be found."

Sirius raised an eyebrow.

Outside the forest at this moment.

"There's a village in this forest, right?" asked a slovenly-looking man with a sword slung over his shoulder and squinting eyes.

"That's right."

A samurai nodded.

"Then leave this to me," the man said with a smile. "I remember there's the sea behind the forest, right? After we're done searching, let's go relax by the sea."

"Haha," the samurai laughed, "Kyoshiro, you're quite the joker. But since you're willing to go, that's for the best."

"Then we'll head to the dilapidated town. Please be extremely careful, as the target we're searching for is highly dangerous."

Kyoshiro nodded, then staggered into the forest with his samurai, while another group of samurai turned away.

The search results in the forest were quickly sent to the Flower Capital, but nothing was found, either in the forest or in Amigasa Village.

Sirius and his crew stayed in the forest for a week in peace. According to Hiyori, the fruitless search enraged Kaido in the Flower Capital was devastated.

Then, that evening, Hiyori brought some news.

She said,

"Master Fei Che said that tonight will be the day of completion."
