Confrontation!
Blood was still flowing from his arm, but Sirius couldn't stop smiling.
"Sirius, what are you still laughing at?"
Yamato was extremely anxious. "Stop the bleeding right away!"
"Wait, Sirius,"
Yamato hurriedly bandaged Sirius, Jack noticed something was wrong and asked in surprise, "Didn't you use Haki just now?"
Sirius smiled and said with a happy smile, "Just as Yamato's Spiked Club inherited the freezing ability from her teeth, this sword also inherited a characteristic from my teeth."
"What characteristics?" Hiyori asked.
"Sharp".
"Sharp?"
Hiyori was somewhat puzzled, but he was indeed a good straight man.
"That's right, it's exceptionally sharp."
Jack and the others stared in disbelief, then their faces lit up with joy; they certainly knew what that sharpness meant.
"Thank you very much, Master Fei Che."
Sirius sincerely expressed his gratitude to Tenguyama Hitetsu.
This world has always been about power, and this sword has made his power even stronger.
Thank you so much!
Yamato and bowed slightly in thanks, saying, "I really like the new Aken!"
"No need,"
Master Hitetsu sneered, "If you insist on expressing your gratitude, then go and drive Kaido out of Wano Country."
"Ha ha..."
Sirius could only manage two awkward laughs.
"Hmph, if you can't do it, then get lost!"
The swordsmith scoffed, "If you can't be of any help, fine. But if you stay here any longer, you'll only cause trouble."
"Certainly."
Sirius nodded solemnly; he had no intention of making things worse for the village.
"Oh, right, this is for you."
Fei Che threw a long, thin object to Sirius.
Sirius took it and saw that it was a sword sheath.
His eyes lit up. Too sharp a sword isn't a good thing, especially when you're carrying it on your back.
Then Hitetsu walked to one side of the room and picked up another Katana that was enshrined on a small table.
"You're going to go to sea with this boy, Princess Hiyori?"
He walked up to Hiyori and handed her the knife, saying, "Please take this with you for self-defense."
Hiyori examined the sword for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "Could this be the legendary Great Grade Sword, the Nidai Kitetsu, forged by your ancestor, Master Kotetsu, the master of the Hitetsu?"
"Exactly."
Hitetsu nodded. "Although it is a cursed sword, I believe that you, who have inherited Oden Oden's bloodline, will surely be able to tame it."
"There's nothing I can do to help; all I can offer you is this knife."
Hiyori paused for a moment, then reached out and took the knife. "Then I'll accept this knife."
Hitetsu smiled and said, "I will be waiting for your return in Wano Country."
Now that we have the weapons, it's time to leave.
After bidding farewell to Tenguyama Hitetsu, Sirius and the others left Amigasa Village and returned to the mountains and forests.
So, are we finally about to set off?
Jack's excitement was barely concealed in his words.
"Before that, we need to prepare a few more things," Sirius said. "Food and water."
Being out at sea without food and water is a truly terrifying thing.
Sirius chuckled and looked at Hiyori, "I remember that Orochi specifically established many planting bases in Wano Country to supply Onigashima and the Flower Capital."
"I happen to know where the nearest one is," Hiyori a smile.
"Excellent!"
Wano Country has been operating as a weapons factory for the Beasts Pirates for many years.
The unbridled construction of numerous factories has led to massive pollution, rendering much of the country's land unsuitable for agriculture.
But people always need to eat, even the vicious Orochi and Kaido are no exception.
Therefore, the Orochi deliberately established many farms far away from the factory to grow crops and raise livestock to supply their needs.
There are several such farms in the Kuri area.
It was late at night, and most of the farm's guard children were already asleep, with only a small number of unfortunate kids still yawning and patrolling.
Then, streaks of black shadows appeared from the sky.
Before the patrol team could utter a sound, a magnificent and domineering Haki swept across, and the entire farm fell silent instantly.
"Hurry up! Take as much as you can!"
The Flower Capital, Tenshukaku, it's late at night.
The quiet corridor was suddenly filled with hurried footsteps.
A samurai, his face flushed with excitement, galloped past like a gust of wind.
He simply opened the door to the room where his direct supervisor was located.
"Kuri, the Dilapidated Town Farm, hasn't contacted us for over ten minutes! Something must have happened there!"
A week of fruitless searching not only enraged Kaido, but also made Kurozumi Orochi feel humiliated.
So while increasing manpower for the search, they also strengthened their vigilance.
Sirius and the others are human too; they also need to eat.
And there's practically nothing worth eating in the entire Wano Country.
Besides the major farms!
Therefore, the surveillance of these areas has never been relaxed, and now it is finally paying off.
The superior, who had been fast asleep, suddenly sat bolt upright. "Has this message been communicated to the troops near Kuri?"
"They've already been notified!"
"Very well, I will report to Lord Orochi immediately!"
Kuri, Dilapidated Town Farm.
Sirius and his men plundered the farm like a passing whirlwind.
They found many huge sacks on the farm, each carrying one, and were now frantically stuffing things into them.
Most of them are fruits and vegetables.
After all, it's quite troublesome to temporarily dispose of various poultry and livestock.
Annoyed by their chirping, Sirius simply opened the fence, letting the captive animals scatter and escape into the darkness.
As for where they end up afterward—whether they struggle to survive in the wild or end up on someone's dinner table—that's no longer his concern.
While picking and packing the fruit, everyone was also eating.
The food they've had for the past week has really worn them out, and now they can finally have a change of pace.
Besides food, water is also important.
However, finding a container to hold the water on short notice is quite troublesome.
But it's okay, we still have Yamato. Sirius simply had Yamato freeze the water into ice blocks, so we could move it away.
When everyone's pockets were full, Sirius said, "That's enough, it's time to retreat."
If we don't leave soon, the people blocking our way will come.
They loaded the contents onto a large cart, and then Jack transformed into Mammoth, pulling the cart swiftly away from the farm.
The destination is the coast of Kuri, from where we can go directly into the sea.
All you need to do is sneak over there quietly, and you can set sail without alerting anyone.
Since they didn't need any ships anyway, Yamato froze the sea, and Sirius led them across the ocean at breakneck speed.
As long as there is a compass to guide the way, there will be no problem of getting lost at sea.
However, they hadn't run very far before Sirius made Jack stop.
In the darkness ahead, rustling sounds could be heard incessantly. In the moonlight, Sirius saw that a large group of figures had gathered in the darkness, which now stood in front of them.
"Too late," Sirius sighed softly, then said loudly, "Teacher Queen, aren't you asleep yet? You'll get dark circles under your eyes."
"Hahaha! Kid!!"
From the darkness in the distance, a tall, obese figure gradually emerged from the crowd and stood before Sirius and his companions.
He was, of course, the Teacher Queen whom Sirius knew well.
"It's been so hard to find!"
